*Sisko walked onto the bridge of the Grace, not a happy customer.*
Sisko to all department heads and senior officers, thier will be a staff meeting at o eight hundred hours in the briefing room, i expect every one to be on time.
helmsman, slow to warp six until we get this deflector problem fixed. If we ecnounter any more bumps slow to warp four.
Very well Captain.
After half an hour I of looking for the asteroid belt I turn to the Captain.
Captain have found one sir. only 100, 000km of our current course home. we could be there with a slight change of course do the tests and at warp six for and hour no-one at the station would know any different sir.
ooc:Wait for my next post before you fire the probe,and Captian Sisko brief your First officer on the Mission
Damage teams to damaged areas.
Target the ship and fire. Launch the torpedoe set target to the delfector, fire.
*The torpedoe was away, it acquired its target and smashed into the deflector and with an explosion the deflector was gone. The grace flew around and let a round of fire go hitting the starboard nacelle damaging it badly, then the defiant assumed a position parallel to the Windsor.*
Ensing signal the birds of prey to uncloak, we will assume an omega attack pattern fore of the Windsor. Tell the Klingon's to target the shield generators, well target the warp drive and impulse engines. Move us to the coordinates i am typing in and signal the klingons to move with us.
*Two Birds of prey decloaked, joining the Grace taking a position in front of the Windsor. *
Strike teams prepare to beam in, were fixin to make a firing run and knock out thier shields.
helm, head forthe warp cores. Engage the tractors and recover them. If we loose them it will be three months tillthey can be shipped from earth. Engage. Try tracking the shuttle, if we cant its ok we have the ship.
=A=Sisko to Grace, prepare for a o'six hundred hours departure to SB 185 to pick up the new shield generators, and a shakedown of the new systems. Sisko out.=A=
*Sisko walked into the briefing room and every one but Sitgor was there, he must be running late. Sisko set down at the head of the table in the Captain's chair.*
Alright guys, i have made a list of
things that i have noticed still need some tweeking or repair. I want these things repaired immediatley so as that way were combat ready if the need should arise. Chief, status report on the deflector issues.
Chief:Sir, after reading up on the logs of the Defiant, I have made the proper modifications to the defelctor. I had to boost the output quite a bit from the original specifications to compensate for the new warp drive, its power signature, and sheer force are almost more than this ship can handle, but the modifications are done, and the ride ahs gotten a bit smoother. Also, we re-aligned the plasma flow injectors in the nacelles and that has helped. They were opening enough during warp drive to let the correct amount of plasma thru.
Sisko:Very well, Good job. Now here's my list of things to be fixed around here.
1.The replicators are in sad shape, the food being put out is horrible.
2.The new sensor pallette is still needing some work. The sensors are working as well as we were promised with all the new equipment.
3.There are some actual interior design probelms; some ares of the ship are still missing carpet, some furniture is missing, and we are missing beds in some of the quarters not filled yet.
4.I want the LCARS interface adjusted, as well as the main interface for primary ship systems adjusted. The computer is sluggish sometimes, and she doesnt always respond to requests.
5.Finally, I want the manuvering thrusters, and impulse engines adjusted for better steering and attitude control. There have been complaints from several crewman about how sluggish she is now. I know that all the engines on this ship were refit, and some replaced and its just a matter now of getting them all to where we like them.
Great work on reiftting this ship in two weeks, the amount of work done in the amount of time was mind boggling, and we got it done. Thanks for every ones hard work on getting this ship back in one piece. If that is all every one is dismissed.
*Eight hours later the Grace had her cargo and the ship was ready to leave. Sisko walked onto the bridge and sat down in his chair.*
Departure stations. Clear all moorings, signal the quarter master for departure clearance. Bring the ship's systems to full power, and ready us to leave.
Number one, i want to take us to the closest asteroid belt on the way home to SB 12. Find it and let me know, i want to run some weapons tests and drills with the new weapons that were installed on the refit. Engage!
Lt:Sir,The U.S.S Windsor has Changed Course to bearing 103 by 122 at Warp 9.7 What the........Sir she just Dissaperd on Sesnours
her last known location is 1042.3423.242 in Solor System Z-112-B121
and thats 11.3 Light Years from our current Location
at our Present Speed it will Take us 15 mins to Get there and Iam detecting no Debres or Warp Core Explosions
.
the Bridge Officers saw 8 blue lights comeing from the Planet and the Harbour Grace could get out of the Torpetois way in time Bringing forward Shields down to 52%
and reight Behind the Blue light was the Flagship of Windsor Section the Sovierign CLass U.S.S Windsor
then a message was heard on Autio
==^== U.S.S Harbour Grace this is the U.S.S Windsor you are ordered to drop you Shields and Surrenter Captian Sisko I know who you are and its in your best intrest to Surrender your vessel before you find your Crew dead and also say Hi to Richard Ransom for me tell him he has lost==^==
The view on the Viewscreen showed Plasma being dumbed from the Windsor and Two Warp Cores Ejecting.
and the Harbour Grace Sensors too Late showed a cloaked Shuttle Jumping to Warp
Coming aboard just after the transmission I make my way to my quarters before Getting into the new red uniform. I make my way and the ask the commputer to replay any messages for the crew in the last 3 hours.
The Computer buzzes through it files for a few moments then replies with the message from th Captain.
=A=Sisko to Grace, prepare for a o'six hundred hours departure to SB 185 to pick up the new shield generators, and a shakedown of the new systems. Sisko out.=A=
=/\= Commander Sitgor to Captain Sisko, The ship is ready for departure on you say so Captain. =/\=
*Sisko pulls up some info on the Defiantat his console.* On the Grace, there are two command chairs sideby side, such as Voyager's. One for the captain, and one for the Exec.*
Number one, have the actingchief engineer look at the Defiants logs and see how they fixed the problem since they had the first defiantclass ship and worked out most of the kinks. ETA to SB 185?
*Sisko walked onto the bridge and settled into his chair. to prepare for docking operations.*
Ops tell the cargo bays to prepare to take on the new shield generators and several other items i requested to upgrade the station with.
Also, good job to everyone on getting 90% of the issues i addressed in the meeting taken care of. The replicators are putting out normal food and drink now. The engines we will just have to play with till we get them right.
Prepare for docking procedures as soon as the quarter master signals the ok. Go to full thrusters, and prepare to activate moorings. We arent making this a long trip were picking up our stuff and then heading home theres plenty of work to be done there. Engage!
Standing From my position at the First Officer chair I face forward and give the order to delay our current mission and enter into the Capture the Windsor before it crossed into the neutral zone. Then I call the Captain.
=/\= Commander Sitgor to Captain Sisko, Captain, Our Orders have been changed sir. These are our new ones Captain. Rogue agents have taken control of the Windsor sir. They are headed toward the R. N. Z. sir. My best guess sir is that they plan to start a war between the Romulans and the U. F. P. We are to stop them sir before they enter the R. N. Z. and return them and the Windsor to base sir. =/\=
OOC:I think we should steal a cloaking device.
IC:Sisko came gushing onto the bridge, Battle stations. Increase to warp 9.93 and run that speed as long as possible, and then drop to warp 9.5. Commnander prepare a strike team, and make sure they are armed to the teeth. When we get close enough to be in sensor range of the Windsor, we have to be able to come in behind them, and take them by suprise. I think a if we fire a few torpedoes and disbale the warp core we have a fighting chance. we do have the advantage of being smaller, and we can fly thru her shields and fire the torpedoes, and then beam our people over.
*Sisko walked over to a console and started pointing out options on the schematics of the Sovereign class Windsor.*
*as Sisko looked at the schematics, he had a look on hi sface like a light bulb went off.*
Sitgor, i just thought about something, they will probably try to de-activate the auxillary engineering section by either destroying it or diabling the computers in that section. According to the schematics that is deck 12, and its just a storage deck besides aux engineering. we have to find another way to disable the ship, even if it means destroying the Windsor. Even with warp drive disabled, they outgun us five to one. were a powerful ship, but no that powerful. i need options to stop her. how many people can you put to the strike team without diabling our ship functions if we get in a fire fight? if we can send at least fifty, they will be overtaken, we may have to take the ship back by force.
sisko to engineering, chief start working on a computer virus to diable thier computer, and command codes. Maybe we can diable the ship with out a hsot fired.
*Sisko walked onto the bridge, and sat down in his chair.*
Number 1, begin owrking on operation Enage immediatley.
Ensign what is our current speed?
Ensign:Sir warp 8.7 sir to give the engines a bit of a break.
very well, increase to the maixmum speed of this ship. Engineering i need all the power you can muster to the warp drive. Take all non-essential systems offline, including replicators, the holo-deck, and the sick bay until we go into comabt, and anywhere else you can pull it from.
Helm, when we close to with in 1 light year of the Windsor, drop out of warp and go to slient running until we launch the enhanced torpedoe, then we will go to full power and full impulse.
Tactical after we have pierced the shields and gotten the strike temas on the ship we are going to make a run for it and begin the fire fight. I want you to destroy the Warp nacelles if you have to, but i want the warp drive dis-abled. Then i want you to tear the ship apart piece by piece if you have to to stop them.
Alright every one lets get to work.
Ten Minutes later, the Grace was coming up on the last known coordinates.
Drop out of warp go to full impulse and start scanning with a carrier wave. Were going to try a little Bajoran trick. Were going to send out a signal and when it bounces on something the sensors should be able to tell us what it is. Also, set the rear sensor array to scan for heated ion gas being expelled from the warp engines and impulse engines. Engineering,be ready to fire on my command, set the torpedoe guidance system to scan for a heated ionized gas signatured and set it to home in on that signature. Strike teams standby we are locating the Windsor.
Cut all of power execpt to the sensors, and minimal power to the impulse drive. That way it will be garder to detect. Then on my command we will pwer and and go to red alert and battlestations.
On Board the Windsor after the beam in the six teams start there attack run. ALPHA takes a run at deck Twelve. The deck was distroyed.
=/\= All teams strike.=/\=
BRAVO and CHARLIE teams had already started their run for the Commputer.
The other teams head for Engineering. Finding no one there we continued to look for members of this strike team. Leaving Main Engineering all four teams head for a different deck to search
Engineering, begin downloading the sensor and personal logs of the Windsor. Begin decoding all information, and have it ready in twelve hours.
Cease fire, begin beaming over the enigneering teams over to scower the ship for any neccesary information we need, beam directly to engineering and start working on the ship to get her ready to tow. Alert starbase 12 that when the Windsor returns they are going to have to remove everything from the ship down to the bones, and start over. Inform the chief engineer to get the teams and staff ready to implement the re-fit.
*Sisko walked onto the bridge after a long walk from ops to the docking bay, he hadnt realized that the satrbases had gotten so much bigger than the old SB 12. He walked onto the bridge.*
Ensign:Captain on the bridge.
Sisko:As you were, departure stations, lets get this show on the orad and see what shes got now. Helm lay in a course for SB 185. Clear all moorings, signal the quarter master for departure, release SB life support and energy transfer systems, and power up the warp core. As soon as we clear space dock i want to test the new class 10 warp drive we recieved during refit, engage at maximum warp for 1 hr, and then drop to warp 8. Enage.
Yes Sir right away sir.
Well sir I suggest we slow down to a normal cruising speed sir I think the eta should be about two days Captain. At warp six sir.
=/\= Commander Sitgor to Lt Moriarty, Mr Moriarty I have picked up a problem with the deflector not being able to keep up with the new engine. The Captain would like you too look over how they fixed it on the Defiant and start repairs. =/\=
=/\= Moriarty to Commander Sitgor Aye sir I'll get right on it sir. =/\=
Six hours after the meeting broke up I am sitting in the Chair for the First Officer when a gentle beep emitted.
On investigation it was that we were approaching SB185.
=/\= Commnade Sitgor to Captain Sisko. Captain we are approaching Starbase 185 sir. We are hailing thaem now sir. =/\=
=/\= Satrbase 185 this is the USS Harbour Grace. We are approaching your vacinty in space and would ike to dock. =/\=
*Then the U.S.S Harbour Grace when to Red alert*
==^== THIS IS A STARFLEET RED ALERT REPETE THIS IS A STARFLEET RED ALERT ALL MISSIONS ARE NOW FORFIT THESE ORDERS ARE ON IN EFFECT
Greetings Captain Sisko,
I would have hoped that i could be talking to you on better terms but as it is we are not.
5 mimites ago a unknown commando unit has stolen the U.S.S Windsor from Starbase 12.
The Windsor is heading for the Romluan Netual Zone and has onlt Warp 7.2 at its disposal at that rate of Speed it will take her 6 days to get to the Romluan Border.And the Windsor is fully armed and is fully COmbat ready.Your orders are to get entry to the U.S.S Windsor and head to deck 12 on that deck is Aux Engineing which will override all commands you are to do a ememcey shut down of the Warp core and then overload the Main power grid as long with the Eps Grid which will reenter the U.S.S Windsor disabled and the the U.S.S Harbour Grace can tow her Home and we can Capture the Commano unit who has stolen the U.S.S Windsor. at Warp 9.5 it will take you 3 days to catch up to her which will give you three days to stop her4 and remember if you detect sensour gosts who are to modfily your sensours to emit a carror wave of 1.034.54 thos are your Orders I off you and your crew god Speed.
Admiral Richard Ransom
Windsor Division Commanding Officer
Starfleet Command
out.
==^==
ooc:NO
Captain I think with a team of forty sir get us inside that shields and transport us directly to deck 12 sir. By the time they notice we are there we will already have the ship locked out to me and only me sir. Because I was just on the ship before I transfered sir. The Computer knows me. So I would get us in and then stop till you are outside phaser range and I will call when it is finished. But I would suggest envirmental suit and I could put a fast acting nueral agent into the air system sir.
As the Engineers finished the probe I worked with the entry team, for Operation Engage. Each member of the team was issused with a hand phaser and a phaser rifle and a number of hand to hand weapons. The way Romulans prefer to fight. As the preparations continued on the Bridge I worked with those that needed help with the hand to hand Combat while the Security Officers on the team help those that needed help with the Phased weapons.
All of a sudden I felt the change of speed between Warp and Impulse and I started the move to the Transporter rooms. There were enough rooms to transport a Thirty man team in one hit.
=/\= Commander Sitgor to Team leaders, be prepared to need to fight your way to main Engineering. I will look to see if deck Twelve has a clear way to the Auxillery Engineering bay. If there is I will let you know and we meet there. If not fight for main Engineering and fight to defend it while the Engineers eject the warp core and do the other things to disable the ship. =/\=
=/\= Teams Bravo and Charlie your main objective over there is the main computer. =/\=
=/\= All teams radio silence while we are over there. If I find a clear path and call spare it is to the Auxillery Engineering if I call strike to Main Engeering it is. =/\=
=/\= Captain the team is in readiness sir. I believe that if we can't get to Auxillery Engineering that main is our next target sir and I will from there eject the Windsors Core sir. So be ready to capture it sir becasue I would hate to cripple her completely so if we can eject the core sir I would like it bought aboard the Grace, so when we get back it can be replaced. Just before ejecting the core sir I will hope to transport all members of the Comandoes to the Windsor Brig sir. I would send them here sir but our brig maybe too small. Depending on how many there are of course. If the Graces brig could hold them I will send them there sir because the Graces brig is stronger sir. =/\=
*an hour later, they still had no luck.*
Full power to the ship, red alert shields up, battle stations. Were not going to sit here and play games. Begin a deep scan as far as the sensores will stretch. Being scanning everything, planets, asteroids, anomeoles, anything that a ship that big can hide in around underneath or behind.
Ensign, status on operation enage?
Ensign:Sir, were standing ready at your command.
Very well, Begin a search pattern Aplha, at 1/2 Impulse.
Sir were picking up an ionized heat trail.
Follow it. *Sisko was looking at a star chart, and then realized what he ahd forgotten to do.*
Helm course change, head towards the gas giant immediatley at full impulse and begin using a pinging scan. Enigneering fire on my mark.
A barrace a phaser fire and Torpetos are lanch from the Windsor as the Strike teams beam aborad.
ooc:now we wait for Mr.Sitor
Incoming Message
==^== This is Admiral Richard Ransom on on the Trasport tug King and our E.T.A is 40 hours you are to give me a full report on who and how the U.S.S Windsor was stolen and a full Damage report Admiral Ransom out.==^==
*As the Grace went into warp the red alert claxon went off, and the ship was shuttering and shaking around*
What in the hell is going on?
OOC:Dont make it anything thats a serious problem, we ahve a nother mission coming up soon, i am just trying to make it like there are stilla few problems with a new class 10 warp drive.*
OOC: Changed post to suit requirements. Do We have a cloak like the orginal defiant at all?
OOC:Mr.Sitgor, just to remnd you the commando unit changed the COmmand codes and the Computer so you would'nt be able to use that.but thats a good idea though I give you points for effort think of anpther way.
*the grace and the two klingon ships were surrounding the ship waiting on word from the strike team. *
Make sure that no shuttles or transport singals get thru either.
begin using a phased ionic pulse to scan for cloaked ships, if you find one open fire on it. Have there been any sign of Romulan ships?
No sir
Good, now we just wait for word.
=/\= USS Windsor to USS Habour Grace. Commander Sitgor to Captain Sisko, Captain the ship is far from distroyed sir, We have no Plasma and the warp cores have bee ejected sir, both of them sir, I hope you got them. There is nothing over here except a good number of dead Marines and heavy damage sir. =/\=
Running a diagonostic over the engine I turn and say Captain it isn't the engine that is running at perfect effeiency running a diagnostic on the deflector. A couple of moments later I turn and say Captain it is the fact the deflector can't keep up with the engine at top warp speeds sir. it should be an easy one for the engineers to fix before we head out again.
NOTE:YOU DO NOT HAVE A SENSOUR GOST
Number 1, have the engineering team rig a 600 kiloton isotopic warhead to a photon torpedoe, then have them attach it to a class four probe. I want to launch it before we even have to get near thier sensor range. When its ready to launch and were with in range to fire, i want it set to target the main delfector. with the deflector there will be no way to stop space sheer, or produce resistance to the debris in space. Then we will run in weapons full a blaze with a full spread ready to launch and continue firing. Then were going to send out a carier wave until we can figure out what thier shield modulation is. Although, i have an idea of it will be because there sheild modulation systems are like ours. at that point were going to take the ship inside their shields and then you can beam aboard and we will continue the fire fight while you disable the ship. We arent going to count on deck twelve to be there, i have a sneaking suspicion that it will be gone. I dont want to go in and get cuaght with our pants down. prepare your strike teams for hand to hand comabt. Get moving.
Sisko to task force, attack at will. Make sure the shipis disabled.
Helm, bring the ship around, and make a firing run. All ships, were recieivng senosr telimatry from the Windsor, hold your fire. Engineering, prepare three teams to board the ship to beging bringing up the main systems so we can go thru computer records.
=A=Sisko to Sitgor, Damage Control teams are on the way, we did recover the warp cores, and one of the klingons recovered the warp nacelle. Begin seraching th emain computer for any and all imformation that will give us clues as to why the ship was stolen. WEre going to continue analyzing the logs here on the Grace. Order the damage teams to begin repairsso that she can be towed home for re-fit. I will beam over in two hours to survey the ship and damage.
