<Dactylus> "Well...everything seems to be in order."

<Caspius> Seems to be? Or is?

Kermit@bobisgod171 pulls up the main console, reports that all is well for now, and then retreats to one of the smaller consoles.

<Dactylus> "Despite my obvious talents I am not omniscient."

<Dactylus> "So, seems to be."

<Dactylus> "Has your band practise been going well, Commander?"

<Caspius> If you are referring to the DS-13 Chamber Players, it is a chamber ensemble, not a band.

<Dactylus> "Yes, them."

<Caspius> Our practise sessions have been generally satisfactory.

<Dactylus> "Generally?"

Keri@hawkecosse#4702 nods to the others
<Keri> "Apollogies for the delay in my arrival."

Caspius@lusipurr#2374 glances over his shoulder at LCDR Kermit.

Caspius@lusipurr#2374 repeats,
<Caspius> "Generally."

Dactylus@shoopdanwoop follows the Vulcans eyes.
<Dactylus> "I understand."

<Dactylus> "I often find those with talent sometimes just need the right kick to have them performing at their best."

<Caspius> A kick? I had not considered it, but will do so.

Keri@hawkecosse#4702 shakes her head slightly with a soft laugh
<Keri> "No I don't get out of the labs much."

Dactylus@shoopdanwoop nods, looking back down to his PADD.

[0:36] Jetaal@epicalyx: <C> Jetaal to Ops. We are monitoring activity at the entrance. All is peaceful for now.

Caspius@lusipurr#2374 taps away at the ops console.

<Caspius> I see that there is a USS Polaris in the region.

Rose@turtles#8407 Taps her commbadge

[0:39] Rose@turtles#8407: <C> Understood, keep us posted.

<Dactylus> "That an issue?"

[0:39] GM | The ops console flashes a new contact.

Rose@turtles#8407 Checks it out

<Caspius> No. However, I served as captain of a different Polaris--the Nova-class.

[0:39] Jetaal@epicalyx: <C> Jetaal to Operations. We have suspicious chatter here regarding 'awaiting a signal'. We are moving to secure the chatterers with a minimum of force.

Caspius@lusipurr#2374 glances over to Rose.

Caspius@lusipurr#2374 looks down.

<Caspius> We have an unknown probe.

Caspius@lusipurr#2374 thinks of the last Azedi incursion.

Kermit@bobisgod171 calls out, unrelated,
<Kermit> "The last civilian vessel in system just warped out. Space is now clear for the Azedi arrival."

Caspius@lusipurr#2374 remembers the probe.

<Dactylus> "I suggest a scan."

<Caspius> Make it so.

<Caspius> Commander Hanson... stand by at tactical. Just in case.

<Caspius> The Azedi use probes typically before they phase in.

<Rose> "Of course, sir."

Dactylus@shoopdanwoop instructs the station to scan the unknown object.

<Caspius> This may simply be a part of their travel method.

<Rose> "Agreed, I believe last time the Azedai were in this system they sent a probe first."

Caspius@lusipurr#2374 can't help a faintly purse-lipped expression as the probe enters phaser range.

<Caspius> I do not wish to be... caught with our pants down, Commander.

<Caspius> As the Captain would put it.

<Dactylus> "Matches previously encountered Azedi probes."

<Caspius> Monitor, but take not provocative action.

Kermit@bobisgod171 calls out again,
<Kermit> "Picking up strong neutrino readings around the probe!"

<Caspius> That would be the ships.

<Rose> "Commander Caspius, do not worry i've been preparing Ops for this meeting for a while all will be fine."

<Caspius> Scan for a verteron spike.

Caspius@lusipurr#2374 taps his combadge.

[0:45] Jetaal@epicalyx: <C> Chatterers quietly secured, sirs.

Dactylus@shoopdanwoop scans for verteron spikes?

[0:46] Caspius@lusipurr#2374: <C> Caspius to Captain Thiessen. An Azedi probe has entered the system and a neutron surge seems to indicate the imminent arrival of our diplomatic guests.

Keri@hawkecosse#4702 starts running the scans
<Keri> "Afirm Commander, recomend I also scan for incoming subspace signatures."

<Rose> "Make it so." she nods to Keri

[0:47] -- Confederacy of Azed vessels arrive --

<Dactylus> "Six contacts."

<Caspius> Neutrino and verteron emissions are typical hallmarks of their transport systems, Commander.

<Caspius> Nothing unexpected yet.

Keri@hawkecosse#4702 modifies her scans to include incoming subspace signatures

[0:48] Tau@xanthestar: <C> "Thiessen here, acknowledged Commander. I will inform those here, please ensure things proceed as we discussed."

[0:48] Caspius@lusipurr#2374: <C> "Aye sir. Caspius out."

<Caspius> An impressive display of firepower, no doubt as intended.

<Dactylus> "Four dreadnaught class, two frigates."

<Rose> "Just showing us they have the teeth to bite with if things go wrong I suppose."

<Keri> "Vetron readins are spiking and they have returned to normal levels now, Commanders."

Caspius@lusipurr#2374 taps the console to bring up the MSD.
<Caspius> "Understood."

[0:51] GM | Incoming communication.

<Caspius> Here we go.

<Rose> "Put it through."

Caspius@lusipurr#2374 nods to Rose.
<Caspius> "On screen."

Rose@turtles#8407 does it forget she's not in charge

Caspius@lusipurr#2374 looks up at the holoviewer or whatever they've got up here.

[0:53] GM | The message is text only: "Send coordinates. Be exact."

<Rose> "Coordinates to the meeting room?" she starts to bring them up

Caspius@lusipurr#2374 raises an eyebrow.
<Caspius> "Direct. But satisfactory. Commander Hanson, transmit the coordinates--the exact coordinates.

<Dactylus> "Not very chatty."

Caspius@lusipurr#2374 taps the console.
<Caspius> "Send text: Stand by to receive coordinates."

<Keri> "I have a bad feeling about this..."

<Rose> "As expected." she sends the exact coordinates to the Azadai

Caspius@lusipurr#2374 looks to Keri.
<Caspius> "Unless there is evidence to substantiate that feeling, it is nothing to worry about."

<Dactylus> "Have fun down there..."

<Caspius> Confrontations with the unknown are often the occasion for unwarranted trepidation.

<Dactylus> "Most humans say alcohol helps."

[0:56] Jetaal@epicalyx: <C> Jetaal to Operations. We have another group of protestors, much louder than the first. We will contend with them.

<Rose> "From experience it does not, drink water."

[0:56] Rose@turtles#8407: <C> Keep us posted.

[0:57] -- Confederacy of Azed delegation boards --

<Caspius> Until now the protestors have been a nuisance. Now they are a security concern. This is a diplomatic meeting on a Starfleet installation, not a stump speech in the town square.

Keri@hawkecosse#4702 nods slightly
<Keri> "Aye Commander, I know from a scientifict point I have no new evidence to support that feeling but from a human point of view my gut is telling me that it has a bad feeling."

<Caspius> Commander Hanson, inform security that they may use whatever non-lethal force is necessary in order to resolve this security issue.

<Dactylus> "You could secure the deck with forcefields."

[0:59] Rose@turtles#8407: <C> Commander Hanson to sercurity forces, Commander Caspius is allowing you to use whatever non-lethal force is necesarry to resolve the sercurity issues.

Caspius@lusipurr#2374 looks down at his display.
<Caspius> "The fact that we are contending with minor injuries in sickbay as a result of these disturbances... is not satisfactory."

<Rose> "Commander Pohl, will be busy tonight then..."

Caspius@lusipurr#2374 thinks again about Tau's reluctance to employ force to restore order. Unfortunate.

<Rose> "If it becomes nescessary, I will employ force fields."

Caspius@lusipurr#2374 nods to Rose.

[1:02] Jetaal@epicalyx: <C> Operations, we have a situation. Security is moving in to contain it.

[1:03] Rose@turtles#8407: <C> Sercurity, we are prepared to employ force fields if need be.

Rose@turtles#8407 Every now and then gives random orders to Ensigns walking around Ops

[1:06] Jetaal@epicalyx: <C> Please engage forcefields to close the entrance to the Embassy. We will handle the remaining protestors in the lobby and the external security team will subdue the excess.

[1:06] Rose@turtles#8407: <C> Acknowledged.

Rose@turtles#8407 Engages the forcefields where asked.

<Caspius> To protest a peace talk because one is angry about war deaths is... not logical.

<Dactylus> "People doing like being a peace with those who killed their loved ones, it is as if we are forgiving them."

Keri@hawkecosse#4702 looks down at her console
<Keri> "They want justice for the lose of their loved ones, and they feel like we have betrayed them and abandoned them."

<Dactylus> "Revenge would be a more appropriate term."

<Caspius> Revenge is not logical, either.

Caspius@lusipurr#2374 looks over the MSD and the Ops monitor.

<Caspius> Continued injur--

<Caspius> Why is power fluctuating?

<Keri> "It's not logical, no...but it is emotional. They took a person you loved, and then got away with no punishment. The heart does not like to accept that. What?" quickly glances at her console

[1:10] Jetaal@epicalyx: Jetaal to Operations. Please seal the starboard entrance.

Rose@turtles#8407 Begins a diagnostic

[1:11] Rose@turtles#8407: <C> Ops here, sealing entrance now.

Caspius@lusipurr#2374 taps the console.

Caspius@lusipurr#2374 peers at the little red dot way down in the engineering section of the station.

Keri@hawkecosse#4702 taps on her console as she scans for any external signatures that could be affecting the stations power grid

<Dactylus> "Dispatch some security personnel to engineering."

<Caspius> Security appears to be... otherwise engaged. It could simply be a malfunctioning EPS conduit.

<Rose> "Engineers are reporting a misaligned power conduit on Deck 187."

Caspius@lusipurr#2374 knows these sorts of things.

<Rose> "Recommend we send a repair team."

<Dactylus> "You have 2000 security personnel, I sure you can spare two."

Caspius@lusipurr#2374 wishes he had more security personnel.

<Caspius> Commander Hanson, despatch two engineers and send two security officers with them.

<Caspius> It may simply be a coincidence, but as Commander Dactylus suggests, there is no reason not to be cautious.

Dactylus@shoopdanwoop nods.
<Dactylus> "Thank you Commander, they may not be needed, but...protesters sometimes go for vital areas."

[1:15] Rose@turtles#8407: Commander Hanson to Sercurity please Spare two sercurity officers and send them to Deck 187, they will accompany two engineers there.

<Caspius> Commander Verlin, keep a close eye on external sensors.

<Caspius> Mister Dactylus, apply the same diligence to the Operations Monitor.

<Keri> "Afrim commander, will keep my eyes on it."

<Caspius> And Comander Hanson, if you could devote your attention to the MSD, then I think we will not let any further... surprises escape our notice.

[1:17] Jetaal@epicalyx: <C> Jetaal to Hanson. We have this location under control. Two officers are on their way.

[1:17] -- Unauthorized Transmission Begins --

Dactylus@shoopdanwoop smirks.
<Dactylus> "It's Jekk actually."

Caspius@lusipurr#2374 taps his console.

<Caspius> Mister Jekk, then, you should note that we have an issue with our subspace relay.

<Rose> "Yes sir."

<Dactylus> "I see that."

Caspius@lusipurr#2374 looks at the OpsMon in some perplexity.

<Caspius> Is that power conduit related to the Subspace array?

Dactylus@shoopdanwoop taps the console.
<Dactylus> "I am running a diagnostic."

[1:18] -- Unauthorized Transmission Ends --

Dactylus@shoopdanwoop frowns.
<Dactylus> "Someone has sent out an unauthorized transmission...and suceeded."

<Caspius> Details.

<Caspius> Destination, origin, content, duration.

Rose@turtles#8407 Raises a brow
<Rose> "Commander I have an expertise in communications would you like me to handle this?"

Dactylus@shoopdanwoop taps on the console, he wants to read/listen to whatever was sent, and to where.

Dactylus@shoopdanwoop glances briefly to Rose.
<Dactylus> "I will be fine."

Caspius@lusipurr#2374 has been awake for nearly two days straight at this point, and is less patient than usual.

<Rose> "Of course Commander." she continues to monitor her station instead

Dactylus@shoopdanwoop adds in, and where it was sent from.

<Caspius> Protestors, misaligned conduits, and now unauthorised transmissions. If these events are a coincidence, it is increasingly unusual.

<Rose> "Well I'm thinking it's definitley not a coincidence."

<Caspius> Hypothesis about possible relation?

<Caspius> Use of the power conduit to route a message through the EPS grid?

[1:26] Dactylus@shoopdanwoop: <C> Jekk to Security, please locate Console Charlie 23 on deck 55, an unautherised transmission was sent from that console."

[1:27] Jetaal@epicalyx: <C> Acknowledged. We will locate.

Keri@hawkecosse#4702 nods slightly
<Keri> "It is deffiently a possibility...I may have done similar in my cadet years but never at such a cruical time."

<Caspius> The conduit is on deck 187, which is a restricted area. This suggests either starfleet personnel, or use by an intruder.

<Caspius> Deck 55, however--that is much closer to public areas.

<Dactylus> "Destination Itrin Sector...regretfully we have no information on the destination space. It is similar to the transmission Operations has dealt with already...one word. 'Here'."

<Caspius> Either to indicate our location, or to indicate that the sender has arrived here.

<Rose> "or another way in."

<Dactylus> "Or, our guests."

[1:31] -- Unknown contacts detected --

Caspius@lusipurr#2374 blinks at the display.

Caspius@lusipurr#2374 taps the console.

<Caspius> Commander Verlin.

<Caspius> Verify that is not a sensor glitch.

Dactylus@shoopdanwoop raises a brow.
<Dactylus> "Are we expecting further company?"

<Caspius> We are not.

<Rose> "Commander I recommend yellow alert just as a precaution."

<Caspius> Indeed. Computer: Yellow Alert.

[1:33] -- Yellow Alert --
[1:33] -- Shields Activated --

Keri@hawkecosse#4702 starts to double check her scans and the sensors them self incase of errors

<Caspius> Captain Thiessen to Main Operations.

[1:33] Caspius@lusipurr#2374: <C> Automatic message: Station at yellow alert. Captain Thiessen, report to Main Operations.

<Keri> "Commander...I have 11 unidentifed ships on an intercept course."

<Rose> "Time to raise shields I think."

<Dactylus> "Deploy our own ships first I suggest."

[1:35] Tau@xanthestar: <C> Thiessen to Ops, I'm enroute. Is anyone available to elaborate?"

<Caspius> Scramble Endeavour.

Rose@turtles#8407 Respons to Tau

<Caspius> Notify the local fleet of the inbound vessels, inform them of our status, and then raise shields.

Dactylus@shoopdanwoop nods.

[1:35] Rose@turtles#8407: <C> Hanson To Thiessen "We have 11 unidentified ships on an intercept course sir."

<Keri> "We have the MacAlpine as well which can catch up and match the Endeavour if we need to intercept."

[1:36] Tau@xanthestar: <C> Roger that. Be there momentarily.

Tau@xanthestar comes sprinting down the stairs.
<Tau> "Unidentified?" He asks loudly as he does, calling across the room.

Kermit@bobisgod171 calls back,
<Kermit> "Endeavour ordered to begin undocking."

[1:37] Dactylus@shoopdanwoop: <C> Starbase operations to local Federation vessels, be aware of unknown inbound ships, eleven total."

<Caspius> Eleven unidentified vessels inbound, sir.

<Caspius> I have ordered the fleet notified, we are at yellow alert, shields are going up.

Keri@hawkecosse#4702 points to her console
<Keri> "I have them on sensors here captain."

<Caspius> They are not yet in range of our short-range scanners.

[1:38] Quint@jorathedarnesse: <C> Victory copies. Orders?

<Caspius> Prior to their arrival, there was an unauthorised transmission from a console on deck 55.

[1:38] Dactylus@shoopdanwoop: <C> Proceed to yellow alert and stand by."

<Rose> "We also have had a faulty power relay on deck 187."

[1:38] Alistair Nimitz@natthaan: <C> Akagi copies.

[1:39] Beylara Ailes@dryadae: <C> Ockham acknowldges.

[1:39] Fiona@falconecoose: <C> This is the MacAlpine, going to yellow alert.

<Tau> "Good call." Tau moves over to peer at Keri's console. "...something's clearly not right, then. Faulty power relay sounds familiar, do we have -anything- tying it to-" he sighs and taps his badge.

[1:39] Isadora@CaoCaoPuff: <C> This is Cmdr Liang onboard Eminence. We acknowledge.

[1:39] Rosewood@fireshade321: <C> Avalon copies. Orders understood.

[1:40] Minabi@stickybuns14: <C> Kassandra reporting, oders understood.

[1:40] Tau@xanthestar: <C> Thiessen to Rear Admiral Konieczko, could I ask you to step away from the table for a moment so I could have your ear Sir?"

[1:40] Jetaal@epicalyx: <C> Jetaal to Operations. We have confirmed the unauthorized communication. Someone was attempting to override the transporter lockouts."

<Rose> "Transporter lockouts?"

<Caspius> Sir, because the Azedi are already in our local space, I suggest that we activate tactical systems and standby weapons.

<Caspius> The transporters require security authorisation to activate.

Tau@xanthestar looks over.
<Tau> "Does any of this lock up our - yes, I do agree we should do that. Tactical systems up. Hold on the weapons until I inform the admiral, he's across the table from the Azedi and I don't want a misunderstanding."

<Caspius> Someone was attempting an unauthorised transport, or to give someone else the ability to make an unauthorised transport.

<Caspius> Aye sir.

Rose@turtles#8407 Brings tactical systems online

[1:42] Sadia Cynis@gulremal: <C> Cmdr. Nurikamm of IKS Daramar to DS 13. We are detecting unknown vessels on approach vector. Do you require assistance?

Caspius@lusipurr#2374 looks to Tau at the incoming message from Daramar.
<Caspius> "The more the merrier, sir?"

Tau@xanthestar looks down when the commbadge isn't answered. He furrows his brows.

<Caspius> Commander Hanson, inform Daramar that their assistance is welcomed.

<Tau> "Yes. Defensive systems online, and let the Daramar know that we'll take their assistance but we're going to be cautious. In case these are more Zedi ships we're unfamiliat with we don't

<Tau> want to pop off at the hip if you get my meaning."

<Caspius> Naturally.

[1:44] Jetaal@epicalyx: <c> Jetaal to Operations. The security breach is ongoing. Not originating at this console. We need data security assistance.

[1:44] Rose@turtles#8407: <C> Ops To Daramar the assistance is welcomed but stay at yellow alet for the moment.

Tau@xanthestar looks sidelong at Caspius and lowers his voice.

<Caspius> We have had repeated and significant security issues since the beginning of this summit.

[1:45] Dactylus@shoopdanwoop: <C> Understood Jetaal standby.

<Tau> "More than just protests?"

<Tau> "Transporter issues, you were saying."

<Caspius> Minor scuffles; an unauthorised transmission; an attempt to access transporter overrides.

<Caspius> I instructed Security to use whatever non-lethal force was necessary.

<Caspius> Protests are one thing: violent behaviour at a diplomatic conference is another.

<Tau> "Understandable in this isntance." He pauses, glancing back. "They've used transmissions to shut down systems before. Do we know if the transmission was Federation or..."

Tau@xanthestar takes a PADD from his pocket, typing soemthing out.

Dactylus@shoopdanwoop works on the console, looking for remote access on Console charlie 23.

<Caspius> It seemed to be a single word: "Here"

[1:48] Sadia Cynis@gulremal: <C> IKS Daramar copies, we are engaging cloak and moving to stand by.

<Caspius> Either an indication of the sender's arrival, or an instruction to locate the sender's position.

<Tau> "So no indication it led to the power issue we had separately, but...probably flagged the incoming ships."

<Caspius> The power fluctuation preceded it, on deck 187.

<Caspius> The two events may be unrelated.

Tau@xanthestar seems relieved at that. He puts the PADD away.
<Tau> "Okay. Let me know as soon as those ships come into short range scans. I'm going to keep trying to admiral, if they get closer we'll pull weapons up

<Tau> with or without Azedi notification beforehand. We won't have a lot of choice. With any -luck- these are just their friends."

Caspius@lusipurr#2374 taps the sensor screen.
<Caspius> "They are entering short range scans now, sir."

Tau@xanthestar exhales.

[1:50] Konieczko@DoABarrelRoll: <C> Thiessen from Konieczko, Go.

Caspius@lusipurr#2374 looks to Rose.
<Caspius> "Scans-- now."

<Tau> "Hold on that, hit your scans and get what info you can."

Rose@turtles#8407 Scans

[1:51] Tau@xanthestar: <C> "Sir we have 11 ships on intercept for DS13. Just entering short range scan now. Prior to that, an unauthorized transmission left the station indication 'here'."

Caspius@lusipurr#2374 watches as the information slowly fills in the display.

[1:51] Tau@xanthestar: <C> We haven't brought weapons online because we don't want to ... well, startle the Azedi. Are they expecting any allies?"

<Caspius> Their shields and weapons are online, sir.

[1:52] Konieczko@DoABarrelRoll: <C> Is there any indication on where the 11 ships are coming from?

<Caspius> I strongly recommend red alert.

<Rose> "Still scanning hang on."

Tau@xanthestar glances at the crew as Koni asks that.
<Tau> "Where are the ships coming from, region-wise?"

[1:53] Dactylus@shoopdanwoop: <C> Jekk to Security, nothing about that console seems to stand out. Keep an eye out at any terminals. Jekk out."

Tau@xanthestar acknowledges Caspius with his free hand but holds it palm-up toward him

[1:53] Jetaal@epicalyx: <C> Acknowledged.

[1:55] Sam@drcrippler: <C> The Endeavour can deploy our Aquarius shuttle and use it to scout ahead if needed

<Caspius> Sir, we will be in weapons range in approximately three minutes.

[1:56] Fiona@falconecoose: <C> This is Commander Orso, of the MacAlpine. Requesting a status update."

<Rose> "They are coming from the Itrin sector."

<Caspius> That was the destination of the transmission, sir.

<Caspius> One minute to weapons range.

[1:57] Jetaal@epicalyx: <C> Jetaal to Operations. We have located the hacker.

[1:58] Tau@xanthestar: <C> "Itrin sector Sir. Unidentified vessels, weapons and shields online in all. Three minutes from contact, we're going to go to red alert - will you explain the situation?"

Caspius@lusipurr#2374 nods to Tau.

[1:58] -- Confederacy of Azed delegation debarks --

<Caspius> Red Alert. All hands to stations.

[1:58] -- Red Alert --
[1:58] -- Weapons Activated --

Tau@xanthestar exhales, nodding his thanks toward Rose and Caspius silently

[1:59] Konieczko@DoABarrelRoll: <C> Standby-

[1:59] Caspius@lusipurr#2374: <C> Station-wide: Red Alert. All hands to stations.

Rose@turtles#8407 Starts ordering random ensigns and lieutenants around Ops

Tau@xanthestar looks to Caspius with an apologetic,
<Tau> "The representatives are jerks anyway."

Tau@xanthestar sidles up to a station and unfastens his strap. Because screw this thing.

[2:00] GM | Verteron spike from Dreadnought #4

<Caspius> It is unclear whether or not these incoming vessels are Azedi.

<Dactylus> "Fighter wings report ready for deployment."

[2:01] Jetaal@epicalyx: <C> Jetaal to Operations. I need an emergency transport directly to a secured cell.

Caspius@lusipurr#2374 nods to Dactylus.

[2:01] Fiona@falconecoose: <C> This is Captain Skye, belay that.

[2:01] GM | The dreadnought fires a DoomBeam at one of the newcomers.

[2:01] -- Azedi Dreadnought #4 fires at UFO #9 --

[2:01] Rose@turtles#8407: <C> Acknowledged, initating transport.

Dactylus@shoopdanwoop raises a brow.

Caspius@lusipurr#2374 looks down at the console.
<Caspius> "Have the Azedi opened fire!?"

[2:02] Jetaal@epicalyx: <C> Engage.

<Rose> "They have sir at the newcomers."

[2:02] Rose@turtles#8407: | Ops Transports the badguy

<Caspius> Were they fired upon?

<Rose> "No sir."

<Caspius> For all we know, these are a bunch of civilians, responding to the protestors.

<Caspius> Either the Azedi know who they are, or they prefer to shoot first and ask questions later.

Tau@xanthestar pales at that idea.

[2:04] -- Unidentified vessels open fire on Confederacy fleet --

Caspius@lusipurr#2374 looks at Tau and offers a reassuring,
<Caspius> "The inbound ships have engaged the Azedi, sir."

[2:05] Konieczko@DoABarrelRoll: <C> Thiessen from Konieczko. Talks are over the Confederacy diplomats have left in a huff. What is going on?

<Dactylus> "Can we get any more detail on the unknown ships?"

[2:06] Tau@xanthestar: <C> The Azedi ships have engaged with the incoming ships in combat Sir. We're...we still can't identufy what they are, but they're ignoring our vessels. All of them.

[2:06] Fiona@falconecoose: <C> This is the MacAlpine requesting update on orders, currently shadowing group of Azedi ships cloesest to DS13

<Caspius> No match in the database.

Rose@turtles#8407 Looks to Tau
<Rose> "Shall I tell the fleet to engage or standby sir?"

<Caspius> These appear to be a new species.

<Dactylus> "Oh lovely. A combative first contact."

<Caspius> Unless we have a military alliance with the Azedi already, sir, we are under no obligation to assist.

Caspius@lusipurr#2374 looks down at the display,
<Caspius> "Although, several of our ships have already opened fire..."

[2:08] GM | Verteron spike from Dreadnought #1. It's targeting TRK-26.

[2:09] Konieczko@DoABarrelRoll: <C> Thiessen what's happening out there?

[2:09] GM ||| An Azedi Dreadnought beam weapon impacts DS13's shield bubble. The station rumbles and some lights flicker.

[2:09] -- First DS13 shield impact --

<Tau> "We're - I don't know that interfering in this would -help-. Why are they firing? Has anyone been given official orders?"

<Caspius> I don't--

Rose@turtles#8407 Grabs hold of her station

Caspius@lusipurr#2374 puts on hand on his console.
<Caspius> "We are in the crossfire, sir."

<Caspius> No orders have been given to our crews to open fire.

<Caspius> The Azedi verteron beam weapons are not being targetted with a great deal of care for what is in the way, either.

Rose@turtles#8407 Brings up a damage report

[2:10] Konieczko@DoABarrelRoll: <C> Thiessen, was that direct or indirect to us? What's happening?

[2:11] Tau@xanthestar: <C> "As I -said- Sir, we - we're being caught in the crossfire. We're going to have to start firing in self-defense if theAzedi don't get back on-side!"

<Rose> "Shields are down to 81% sir."

Caspius@lusipurr#2374 looks to Rose.
<Caspius> "Lock weapons on the unknown hostiles, but hold fire."

<Rose> "Aye sir." she begins to lock weapons

<Caspius> Perhas a show of our considerable force will make them think about retreat.

[2:12] Tau@xanthestar: <C> They're in a fire-fight with the unknown ships and some of our vessels are firing too. Our forces need direction on whether or not to intervene but either -

[2:12] Tau@xanthestar: way we need to get them out of the way of DS13."

<Dactylus> "We...could hail the unknown vessels?"

Kermit@bobisgod171 calls out,
<Kermit> "Here comes another one!"

<Caspius> Brace!

<Rose> "Diverting auxillary power to shields!"

[2:13] GM ||| DS13 is again struck by Azedi fire. The impact feels less this time.

<Tau> "Yes, send out comms on all channels."

<Tau> "Don't accept them back from the Azedi unless secured." He adds.

Tau@xanthestar braces and lets out a long breath

<Caspius> Shields down to seventy-four percent.

[2:14] Konieczko@DoABarrelRoll: <C> Thiessen from Konieczko. Defend the Azedi.

<Rose> "I'll continue diverting auxillary power to compensate for the loss."

<Caspius> Several other vessels are diverting their shields to station.

[2:15] Sam@drcrippler: <C> DS13, this is the USS Endeavour. That beam went straight through our shields!

<Caspius> Endeavour has lost shields as a result.

Caspius@lusipurr#2374 nods to Tau.

Tau@xanthestar glances at the others.

Dactylus@shoopdanwoop taps on the console.
<Dactylus> "Channel open, Captain."

Caspius@lusipurr#2374 taps the console.
<Caspius> "One hostile destroyed. Another has lost shields.

<Rose> "The endeavour should be pull back."

[2:16] Tau@xanthestar: <C> Sir the Azedi are damaging the station and our ships. I'll order it, but you need to know that.

[2:16] Tau@xanthestar: <C> THey don't seem to care too much about -us-. Thiessen out.

Caspius@lusipurr#2374 looks to Rose.
<Caspius> "Order the Endeavour into our shield perimeter. If it is struck by a beam without its shields..."

Tau@xanthestar ends his messages to Dmitri and frowns, opening up his other channel.

[2:17] Rose@turtles#8407: <C> DS13 Ops to Endeavour pull back into our shield perimeter for protection."

<Rose> "I still have weapons lock sir."

[2:17] Tau@xanthestar: <C> "This is Captain Thiessen of DS13 to all incoming vessels. Please retreat and leave our space. We cannot guarantee your safety in this encounter and do not want to see unnecessary destruction occu

[2:17] Tau@xanthestar: r. We ask that you withdraw."

[2:18] Sadia Cynis@gulremal: <C> IKS Daramar here, we are moving in to engage unknown attackers, I suggest we concentrate fire and start whittling them down.

Caspius@lusipurr#2374 looks to Tau.
<Caspius> "Do we fire, sir?"

[2:18] Sam@drcrippler: <C> Roger that DS13, moving into the sheild perimeter

[2:19] Fiona@falconecoose: <C> This is Captain Skye to Ops, I've ordered the MacAlpine to trace the warp signial of the new ships to cross refrence it with the information we have here. I belive they may be trying to help us.

Tau@xanthestar nods slowly.
<Tau> "If we have to. We have orders to defend the Azedi." Tau says, reluctantly.

<Caspius> Three Azedi ships have withdrawn.

<Dactylus> "We shouldn't. they haven't done anything aggressive."

<Dactylus> "To us."

Tau@xanthestar doesn't verbally disagree with Dactylus, he taps at his screen.

<Tau> (brb quick

<Caspius> The Azedi ships have ... moved to join their fellows.

<Tau> (back

<Caspius> Sir, the station is now positioned between the Azedi and their targets. I do not believe this encounter will end peacefully.

<Caspius> Given our orders to defend the Azedi, and the danger posed to us by the nature of this engagement, whatever we can do to shorten it would be in our best interest.

<Tau> "Starbase fire remain defensive. We'll fire as necessary on the vessels only -if- needed and ..." He trails off, looking at the positioning.

<Tau> "Are they using us as shielding...?"

<Dactylus> "They want to pull us into the battle."

<Rose> "Would not surprise me, I'll transfer emergency power to shields."

<Tau> "Do it."

<Caspius> Not necessarily, sir. Their forces were divided on either side of us. They have regrouped.

<Rose> "Is that a yes to firing sir?"

Rose@turtles#8407 Is not trigger happy. Promise.

<Caspius> Two of the hostiles have lost shields. Another has shields near collapse.

<Dactylus> "We could focus on eliminating torpedoes and the like."

<Caspius> No significant damage to the Azedi ships.

Tau@xanthestar shakes his head at Rose, then motions to Dactylus.

[2:25] Fiona@falconecoose: <C> This is Captain Skye to Ops, just recived confirmation from the MacAlpine that the warp trail of the new ships does indeed match the location the signal was sent to.

<Caspius> Correction. Another hostile has been destroyed.

[2:26] Sam@drcrippler: <C> Endeavour to DS13, shall we persue the UFOs that are going towards the Azedi?

<Rose> "Sorry sir, a lot stuff going on getting a bit confused." she continues transferring power to shields

<Caspius> And another.

<Dactylus> "The Azedi can not use their...larger weapon while the fleets are positioned as such without drawing us in."

<Caspius> Three down; eight to go.

<Tau> "I'd rather make our station as small a target as possible. If the ships are handling things, let's go after immediate threats to DS13 safety." He pauses and looks to Dactylus.

Kermit@bobisgod171 calls again,
<Kermit> "Incoming!"

[2:27] Isadora@CaoCaoPuff: <C> Eminence here. Attackers have disengaged from the station holding area. Awaiting orders.

<Rose> "Putting all avalibe power to shields now!"

[2:28] Tau@xanthestar: <C> "All hands brace for impact."

Dactylus@shoopdanwoop holds the console.

[2:29] GM || An Azedi beam pierces starbase shields, strikes the thin dome-shaped arm, and continues on through the other side. One of the unknown ships is obliterated by the same blast.

[2:29] -- First DS13 hull breach --

Rose@turtles#8407 Grabs on to her station
<Rose> "Shields down to 49%!"

Dactylus@shoopdanwoop glances to the Captain.
<Dactylus> "Sir..."

[2:29] GM ||| Inside, shit explodes everywhere as several power conduits overload.

Caspius@lusipurr#2374 holds onto his station as the shields are temporarily breached.

<Caspius> Sir, the sooner we destroy the hostile vessels, the safer we are all going to be.

<Caspius> Holding our fire will not change the outcome of this battle--but it will prolong it.

<Tau> "Authorized, just do it." Tau says out angrily.

Rose@turtles#8407 Presses the button and unleashes the fury of the station

[2:30] -- DS13 opens fire on unknown vessels --

[2:30] Tau@xanthestar: <C> "Thiessen to Konieczko - that was the Azedi -again-. They're firing -through- us."

[2:31] Konieczko@DoABarrelRoll: <C> Use the same tactic if necessary then.

<Caspius> Commander, alternate odd and even numbered torpedo launchers; keep up a constant fire. And prioritise targets opposite the Azedi, so that they don't have a reason to fire through us.

Dactylus@shoopdanwoop glances to the others around the console, before looking down to focus on damage control.

Tau@xanthestar smacks angrily aty his commbadge to deliver the news, them works his hands over the consoles.
<Tau> "Well that doesn't work if they're hiding -behind- us sir." Tau mumbles to himself, pulling up a porti

Keri@hawkecosse#4702 pushes her self up from the console
<Keri> "Captain, Commander...the only ones that started firing at us first was the Azedi...are we sure we are on the right side here..."

<Keri> "With respect of course."

Rose@turtles#8407 Is hesistant
<Rose> "I agree with the lieutenant commander."

<Caspius> That discussion is for another time: we have orders to follow.

Dactylus@shoopdanwoop doesn't look up.
<Dactylus> "Commander Caspius is correct."

<Tau> on of damage control hismelf. "Commanders, Commander Caspius is correct. This is a discussion I think we'd all be glad to have and probably not have much disagreement on."

<Tau> "But we have a job to do right now and we have to do it."

Rose@turtles#8407 Nods and does as Caspius ordered earlier

Tau@xanthestar totally didn't mean Dactylus, because he totally typed that before he said that :x

<Dactylus> "Reports coming in."

<Dactylus> "Power conduit overloads, decks 24 through 37. Hull breach, decks 38 through 42."

<Caspius> Emergency forcefields?

<Rose> "Recommend we evacuate decks 38-42 so we can divert power from the forcefields to the shields sirs."

Dactylus@shoopdanwoop checks forcefield status.

<Rose> "If they are up of course."

[2:37] Isadora@CaoCaoPuff: <C> "Eminence to station. The current situation is untenable. Requesting permission to clasify all targets as hostile."

<Caspius> Decks 38-42 include the habitat ring, living quarters, and primary shuttle bays...

Caspius@lusipurr#2374 raises both eyebrows at the message from Eminence.

<Rose> "Thank god I got the boys off the stations..." she says quietly

Dactylus@shoopdanwoop nods.
<Dactylus> "Forcefield are holding."

Tau@xanthestar glances around and nods.
<Tau> "...if it's untenable then we don't risk it. Evacuate."

<Tau> "Until this is over. Then we re-evaluate."

<Caspius> Our ships have taken minimal damage, sir.

[2:39] Rose@turtles#8407: <C> Ops to sercurity begin evacatuion of decks 38 - 42, there are hull breaches.

Tau@xanthestar nods at Caspius in non-verbal confirmation.

[2:40] Laro@thesophist: <C> Copy that!

[2:40] Konieczko@DoABarrelRoll: <C> Thiessen from Konieczko.

<Caspius> The incursion force has--

Caspius@lusipurr#2374 shuts up.

[2:40] Tau@xanthestar: <C> "Thiessen here.

Tau@xanthestar just gives Caspius a thumbs uo.

<Dactylus> "Moderate casuality reports from battle damage."

[2:41] GM | Neutrino spikes on sensors.

<Caspius> Rose, tell the Endeavour and MacAlpine to withdraw.

[2:42] Konieczko@DoABarrelRoll: <C> If you haven't yet, recall nearby fleet ships before they clip our communications.

[2:42] Rose@turtles#8407: <C> Ops To Endeavour and MacAlpine, withdraw.

[2:42] Sam@drcrippler: <C> Endeavour to MacAlpine, you guys got any better ideas that don't involve us getting blown up?

<Caspius> A most cavalier approach to--

<Kermit> Proximity alert!

[2:43] Tau@xanthestar: <C> Roger Sir, we'll do that.

[2:43] Fiona@falconecoose: <C> Negative Endeavour. Orders from the captain to buy her as much time as we can. Ops thats a negative, unable to withdraw, line of withdrawl has been cut off.

<Caspius> All hands, brace for impact.

Rose@turtles#8407 Grabs hold of her station

<Rose> "I don't have anything else to divert to shields sir."

[2:44] Tau@xanthestar: <C> All hands brace for impact!

[2:44] Sam@drcrippler: <C> Endeavour to DS13. We can either assist the MacAlpine or withdraw. Orders?"

Tau@xanthestar leans back onto his console to the channel he had open

Caspius@lusipurr#2374 wonders, as ships apparently crash into/through their shields, whether any of them out there have taken Supplemental Helm Instruction courses.

[2:44] GM | Starbase shields start taking hits as the UFOs fire on the newly arrived dreadnoughts.

<Rose> "Shields down to 37%"

<Caspius> They are within our shield perimeter, sir.

Tau@xanthestar curses under his breath.
<Tau> "Send a communication out have -all- ships return to the station if they're within range.

[2:46] GM | Track-15 fires at Track-30.

[2:46] Rose@turtles#8407: <C> DS13 to all Ships, return to station.

Caspius@lusipurr#2374 taps his console as the station rocks under fire.

Dactylus@shoopdanwoop rocks in place at the impact, reading the display he quietly, venomously says a word.

<Caspius> With our shields up, they will not be able to dock, sir.

[2:47] Sam@drcrippler: <C> Roger that, Endeavour pulling back

Tau@xanthestar shakes his head.
<Tau> "I know but the Admiral wants them in fleetspace."

<Tau> "He's worried they'll cut off communications."

<Caspius> I believe the message may be misinterpreted by our ships in the sect--

<Tau> "Okay. We need to figure out how to get this handled." He looks at the mess outside of the starbase.

Rose@turtles#8407 Watches as a few ensigns a thrown across from an exploding console probably

[2:48] Sadia Cynis@gulremal: <C> Daramar here, why are you falling back, you are making the station target for Azedi fire?!

[2:48] GM ||| The station rocks hard this time. Anyone who knows anything knows the hull's been breached in the core section.

[2:48] -- POWER FAILURE | LOG ENDS --

[2:49] GM ||| Consoles and conduits explode throughout the station, and power fails on the upper decks for a few seconds before backups kick in.

[2:48] -- LOG RESUMES --

Keri@hawkecosse#4702 raises her arm to shield her eyes as her console sparks as she doesn't get injured for once

<Rose> "Shields dow-..." stumbles back a bit "to 12%."

Caspius@lusipurr#2374 is knocked sideways by a beam, which grazes his head. A little trickle of green blood moves down his temple."

<Caspius> The hull has... certainly been compromised sir.

<Rose> "hull interegrity is at 84%." she quickly moves over to help an ensign back to his feet "Up you get we've got work to do."

Rose@turtles#8407 Taps the ensign on the shoulder and gives him a nod before going back to her station

Caspius@lusipurr#2374 taps the console, which occasionally flickers.

Tau@xanthestar manages to stay gripped onto the console, looking around with wide eyes after the explosions pass.
<Tau> "We need to get them out of our space. All of them."

<Caspius> Weapons at eighty-five percent... damage to main operations...

Tau@xanthestar taps his badge.

<Caspius> Transporters took a hit, too, sir.

<Caspius> One more hit and we'll lose shields.

<Rose> "We have more hull breaches deck 55-67."

<Dactylus> "Tractors?"

<Caspius> Upper core... Fleet admin, sciences, diplomatic offices... and the medical bay, sir.

<Rose> "Shall I contact sickbay sir see how they are?"

<Caspius> At once.

[2:54] Rose@turtles#8407: <C> Ops To Sickbay, report.

[2:54] Sara Desimone@kipstermick: <C Desimone patched through Axiom> "Confederate vessels! If you inflict further damage to the starbase you will be classified as hostile! Fall back for now and let us handled these agressors."

<Tau> "I'm willing to test theories about Azedi wormholes shortly, here." Tau mumbles under his breath, glancing out at the battle on the sreen. (brb

[2:57] Beles@HF_Mudd: <C> Ops, we got fires on Deck 39, fire suppression is offline.

<Caspius> Sir, Captain Desimone's threat seems to have... encouraged a hostile response from the Azedi vessels.

[2:58] Rose@turtles#8407: <C> Acknowledged sercurity.

<Tau> "If we need space for evacuations we can move people to lower decks storage, we still have Zantaari cubicles." He says to noone in particular. He then looks up at Caspius. "...they're firing more than

<Tau> were?"

<Caspius> They are deliberately targetting us.

[2:58] Beles@HF_Mudd: <C> We've got it handled with portables for now, but... that's right, this way, quickly please.

<Caspius> Six dreadnaughts, two frigates.

Tau@xanthestar closes his eyes.

[2:59] Beles@HF_Mudd: <C> *channel closed*

<Caspius> There is a statistically low chance of our surviving this battle, sir.

<Dactylus> "I formally suggest we begin a distress call...get whatever help we can."

<Rose> "Very glad I sent the boys away now."

<Dactylus> "And also focus fire on the Azedi."

[3:00] Tau@xanthestar: <C> Admiral, Azedi vessels have opened fire on the starbase. Maybe you can talk some sense into them. We're going to defend ourselves best we can.

Rose@turtles#8407 Unleashes the full fury of the station now

[3:01] -- Confederacy of Azed classified HOSTILE --

<Tau> "Send distress calls, do it. Full defensive fire, request help from all vessels."

<Tau> "...not just ours."

<Dactylus> "We got any Tricobalts in storage?"

Rose@turtles#8407 Begins to send out the distress call

[3:01] -- Distress call broadcasted --

<Caspius> Yes; Commander Sivath was working on them, as I recall. We should have a supply, but they will need to be loaded.

Dactylus@shoopdanwoop was gonna send out a call, but Rose beat him.

<Dactylus> "They would be useful."

<Tau> "Load whatever we have. We're not going to lose without a hell of a fight.

Rose@turtles#8407 Is just pressing all the buttons on her console at this point

[3:03] GM ||| DS13 takes another heavy hit, that feels like a breach. Power cuts out again, for about six seconds. During that time, *another* hit shakes the station, before power returns.

[3:03] -- POWER FAILURE | LOG ENDS --
[3:03] -- LOG RESUMES --

<Caspius> Damage report!

Rose@turtles#8407 Shields her self as her console sparks

Keri@hawkecosse#4702 taps her combadge quickly
<Keri> "Ok...wait what...ok..." she nods quickly as she takes a deep breath as she steadies her self on the console

<Tau> "Wait..."

Tau@xanthestar slaps down something on his PADD and takes in a breatg tgen hands it t Caspius

Rose@turtles#8407 then she trips and smacks her head on the console
<Rose> "ouch...."

Caspius@lusipurr#2374 takes the PADD and looks at it.

Rose@turtles#8407 Stands rubbing her head with some blood falling from her temple

<Tau> "We never had time to look at this." He says after regaining his balance, he didn't meant to no-sell that."

[3:05] Beles@HF_Mudd: <C> Ops, Chief Laro is down, needs emergency beamout!

Rose@turtles#8407 Is still rubbing her head blink a bit
<Rose> "Right... a transport."

[3:06] Rose@turtles#8407: <C> Initating transport.

Dactylus@shoopdanwoop tippy taps the console..which promptly dies.

<Tau> "Hang in there guys, we can do this. Stick with it. Use mine." He motions Dactylus over.

Caspius@lusipurr#2374 hands the PADD back.

Dactylus@shoopdanwoop moves around to next to Tau, taking the console.

<Caspius> Reasonable, but it would be showing our hand.

<Caspius> It also notes *significant collateral damage*.

<Rose> "Sir...life support has taken quite beating."

Caspius@lusipurr#2374 looks at the console.

<Caspius> Hull integrity at... 51 percent.

Tau@xanthestar rubs at his forehead and looks at Caspius in bewilderment.
<Tau> "Yeah, I know."

<Caspius> Sir, shields are failing.

<Keri> "Em...Commander, Captain. Captain Skye has just contacted me directly saying she might have a way to contact the unidentifed fleet and has information she belives to be reliable that they did not >

<Dactylus> "Secondary and Tertiary reactors have taken a beating."

<Rose> "Engineering teams are swamped."

<Keri> > want to be hostile to us, and here soley to stop the Azedi."

<Caspius> Minimal damage to the Azedi vessels...

<Rose> "I haven't got anything back from sickbay yet either."

<Caspius> Primary shield generators offline. Transporters failing.

<Dactylus> "Could do with our Republic friends right about now."

<Tau> "Then have them do something to stop this, to prove that."

<Caspius> Given the circumstances, sir, we have two options.

<Caspius> We must either destroy the Azedi fleet... or evacuate the station and accept it will likely be destroyed.

Tau@xanthestar has a slightly wide-eyed look, as if he's overwhelmed for a moment. He takes ina deep breath, then looks sidelong at Caspius. He nods slowly, looking grim.

<Dactylus> "Two guesses where most of the fleet stand."

<Caspius> If we are going to use that approach on the PADD.... now is the time.

[3:11] Quint@jorathedarnesse: <C> Victory to fleet...Declaring an emergency..We're out of the fight! Systems are off line."

[3:11] Rosewood@fireshade321: <C> Avalon to Victory, can you withdraw?

[3:12] Isadora@CaoCaoPuff: <C> Eminence here. We will cover your withdrawal. Please leave the combat area.

<Rose> "Sir, news from sick bay, they are currently having to evacuate sickbays 1 and 2."

<Rose> "They have heavy casualties."

[3:12] Konieczko@DoABarrelRoll: <C> Thiessen from Konieczko. Paint me a picture of what's happening.

[3:12] Beles@HF_Mudd: <C> Operations, Deck 39 is... evacuated. Lock onto anyone you can, and beam them... Beles out.

Dactylus@shoopdanwoop glances to Rose.
<Dactylus> "Need to be careful with transporters."

[3:12] Rose@turtles#8407: <C> Sercurity be advised, transporters are heavily damaged.

<Caspius> Personnel transporters are severely damaged. I recommend against personnel transport, sir.

[3:13] Tau@xanthestar: <C> "Admiral, we are going to begin evacuating DS13. We're at 51% hull and falling. We have Azedi firing on us in addition to the others. Rumor is the others weren't meaning to but transporters are da

[3:13] Quint@jorathedarnesse: <C> Barely...Limping out at vector 2-4-5.

Caspius@lusipurr#2374 taps the console.

[3:13] Tau@xanthestar: maged. I can't see a positive way out of this at this point. Looking at COmmander Davin's wormhole detonation plan very serieously."

<Dactylus> "Captain. It's us or them."

[3:14] Caspius@lusipurr#2374: <C> Now hear this. Now hear this. All hands, proceed to designated evacuation stations.

[3:14] -- First evacuation order --

Rose@turtles#8407 Turns around to all the NPCs

[3:14] Caspius@lusipurr#2374: <C> This is not a drill. Now hear this. Now hear this. All hands, proceed... (message repeats)

<Rose> "All non-esstential personnel begin evactuation now!"

Dactylus@shoopdanwoop tippy taps the console.
<Dactylus> "See if we can give them some clear routes..."

<Caspius> Sir, the PADD?

Rose@turtles#8407 NPCs do as Rose says they are abit scared of her

Tau@xanthestar offers it back to Caspius, handing the communication back to Caspius.
<Tau> "It's untested but I don't see any other way. We haven't been left with any option."

Keri@hawkecosse#4702 looks around as people start to evacuate, before she looks down at her hands as they shake slightly

<Dactylus> "Routing people to the shuttles aswell."

<Caspius> Consider this an opportunity to test it. We should be able to...

Caspius@lusipurr#2374 looks down at the console.
<Caspius> "If we divert power from the secondary shield generator.

<Caspius> ...we should be able to use our deflector array.

Dactylus@shoopdanwoop | Wall consoles begin showing arrows leading through safe areas to evac points.

Rose@turtles#8407 Moves away from her console and starts directing NPCs
<Rose> "Come on move it people."

[3:17] Isadora@CaoCaoPuff: <C> "Eminence to Ockham, do you have propulsion?"

<Tau> "That's what I was thinking." He nods in agreement. "Teleraptor has things coordinated well enough that it should help us work things where we need to get them..."

<Caspius> Target... track 14. It's the most seriously damaged Azedi dreadnought, and it is outside of our shield perimeter.

[3:19] GM ||| Amid evacuation alarms, DS13 takes another hard hit to the lower section.

[3:19] Sadia Cynis@gulremal: <C> Daramar to Starfleet ships, we are moving in to engage Azedi vessels. We have sent a distress call to any allied ships for assistance,

<Tau> "Maybe we can scare them off with this thing." He says in a quietly hopeful voice.

[3:20] Beylara Ailes@dryadae: <c> *static*

[3:20] Fiona@falconecoose: <FX> A transmission is sent from within DS13, as they attempt to contact the UFO's

<Caspius> Direct hit to main engineering, sir... we're losing antimatter containment.

<Caspius> Containment at fifty-one percent...

[3:21] Sam@drcrippler: <C> Endeavour to Fleet. Our Impulse drive took a direct hit

[3:21] Alistair Nimitz@natthaan: <C> Akagi to Endeavour, we'll tow you away from the fight

[3:21] Fiona@falconecoose: <C> This is Captain Fiona Skye, aboard the station you are fighting around. I am attempting to contact the creators, I have been informed you did not wish to fight us and only to combat the Azedi.>

[3:21] Fiona@falconecoose: <C> > Please respond.

<Caspius> It should be possible to charge the primary deflector with neutrons, using our remaining secondary shield generator.

<Caspius> I suggest we do so *now*, sir. Whilst there is still time.

[3:23] Fiona@falconecoose: <C> I have been provided this channel with the consent of your operative aboard the station.

Caspius@lusipurr#2374 taps the console, bringing up manual deflector overrides.

Tau@xanthestar pauses, then, just for a moment to let people get situated

<Sara Desimone> *Braces her hands on the railing overlooking the command crew of the starbase without drawing attention to herself*

<Caspius> Deflector ready.

<Caspius> I hasten to add that this is untested. The damage to our deflector array could be... significant.

<Dactylus> "Won't change much to what the station already looks like then."

<Caspius> However, if we do nothing, the starbase will be destroyed, and the deflector array along with it, so it seems a reasonable risk.

<Caspius> Sir.

Caspius@lusipurr#2374 hovers one finger over the COMMIT button.

Tau@xanthestar grips his fingers into the console.
<Tau> "Just...hold on. Hold on a second."

<Caspius> Sir, with respect...--

[3:29] GM ||| Starbase takes another hit to the upper section.

[3:29] -- Shield System Failure --

Dactylus@shoopdanwoop closes his eyes for a moment, then gets thrown to the side.

Rose@turtles#8407 Her console explodes and she is thrown back abit hitting her head again

Caspius@lusipurr#2374 grabs the console as the room lurches sharply to one side before the SIF resynchronises.

Dactylus@shoopdanwoop skids on the floor, but picks himself up, barely. Moving toward Rose. checking pulse.

Keri@hawkecosse#4702 gets thrown away from her console as it explodes, as she hits the floor hard skiding a good few metres from the blast

Dactylus@shoopdanwoop nods.
<Dactylus> "You alright?"

Tau@xanthestar tumbles back onto the floor and rolls into it, laying where he is for a moment as he catches his breath.

<Dactylus> "This ain't no place to die, Commander."

Caspius@lusipurr#2374 holds onto the console as the shields fail, and the station just a few decks below is blown to bits.

<Rose> "I-...Ow. Just Ow."

Dactylus@shoopdanwoop offers her a hand as he begins standing himself.

<Sara Desimone> *As soon as Tau hits the floor, Sara strides quickly forward* "Commander Caspius - engage the countermeasure!"

[3:32] Rellir@universal_blue: <C> Khre'Riov to Romulan Detachment. Assist with evacuation of Deep Space 13. Do not engage hostiles.

[3:32] Sam@drcrippler: <C> Endeavour to Akagi, spare some engineers? We can try to get this impulse dive online...

Caspius@lusipurr#2374 reaches over and presses COMMIT on the flickering screen.

[3:29] -- Deflector beam activation --

Dactylus@shoopdanwoop returns to the console.

<Rose> "Than-..." she notices Keri "Lieutant Commander!"

[3:32] Alistair Nimitz@natthaan: <C> We'll try and get a few engineers over as soon as we can, it's still a mess out here.

Rose@turtles#8407 Checks Keri over and for a pulse

[3:33] Andrej Timoreev@chrisdubois: <C>This is the Attar, we're ready to engage targets.

<Tau> "Can we use th-..." he shakes his head and moves to get up, groggy and really unsure as to what's going on before standing up and rubbing at the back of his head

[3:33] Beles@HF_Mudd: <C-Taela> Vauthil, as ordered.

<Sara Desimone> *Hurries over to help Tau up* "Hi. You took a hit to the head."

Rose@turtles#8407 Rose is bleeding from two spots on her head but she's still going ....barley

<Caspius> Diverting secondary shield power to the deflector array...

[3:34] Sam@drcrippler: <C> Roger that, we're seperating out saucer, we're still not out of this fight yet. Reploying the USS Bark

<Tau> "The repulsor to um...push the ship away before..."

<Caspius> Neutrino charge at two thousand percent, twenty-five hundred percent...

Keri@hawkecosse#4702 has a pulse as blinks her eyes open with a groan, her forehead cut quite badly along with blood starting to soak through her uniform as she coughs slightly
<Keri> "Commander..."

[3:35] Alex@S.J.Brex: <C> Dallas on station, ready to assist.

Tau@xanthestar is struggling to find his words as he rubs the back of his head, blinking. It takes him about half a minute before he freaks out.
<Tau> "-Sara what the HELL- are you doing here?!"

Caspius@lusipurr#2374 taps the console and brings up tractor control.

Dactylus@shoopdanwoop glances to Caspius, smirks.
<Dactylus> "Interesting day."

<Rose> "I need some help over here!"

Dactylus@shoopdanwoop looks back down to the console.

<Sara Desimone> "Helping." *she looks at Caspius expectantly*

[3:35] Rosewood@fireshade321: <C> Avalon to Attar, this is Commander Mirelle. Boy are we glad to see you!

<Caspius> No sign of a wormhole... yet.

<Caspius> Scanning for verteron particles.

[3:36] Draz@HF_Mudd: <FX> Saraswati emerges from the transwarp gate and goes to half impulse to get out of the way of (1) anyone shooting at them and (2) anyone else coming through.

<Dactylus> "Not much margin for error."

<Rose> "Sit tight Commander i'll get you some help."

Katriel@evenrue || In ops, a couple medical teams arrive to assist with evacuating the wounded non-essential personnel.

<Caspius> Another dreadnought has lost power...

Rose@turtles#8407 Directs some medics to Keri

[3:37] Andrej Timoreev@chrisdubois: <C>Attar to Avalon. Sorry for being late Commander. What's your status?

<Caspius> We may have a cascade effect in progress, sir.

Kermit@bobisgod171 calls out to the center of the room,
<Kermit> "Evac shuttles are all away. We lost a few."

Rose@turtles#8407 And pushes them off her when they try to look at her head injuries

Keri@hawkecosse#4702 tries to slowly push her self up to a sitting postion
<Keri> "There are people who need more imediate help than me...just help me to the console..."

Tau@xanthestar seems to take a few more moments to get his senses back, looking bewildered at Sara. And frightened that she's here. He walks toward Caspius' display.

[3:37] Rianni@crystyll: <C> Valley Forge to DS13. We are moving to assist the fleet, but detect multple escape pods around the station. Do you want priority given to recovery?

<Rose> "What shall I tell the Valley forge?"

[3:37] Rosewood@fireshade321: <C> Avalon fully combat capable, sir. The starbase is being evacuated

Caspius@lusipurr#2374 points at his display, which is working. Barely. It has some green blood on it, and some debris.

<Sara Desimone> *leans back against the handrail, looking from the various combat displays to her PADD and back again*

<Tau> "Recovery priority, yes."

Tau@xanthestar leans over to watch the display.
<Tau> "Is our anti-matter containment at least holding?" He asks absently as he watches.

[3:38] Rellir@universal_blue: <C> D'Ishae! Llair coming in hot! We've taken damage!

[3:38] Alex@S.J.Brex: <C> Do you have the evacuations status, Commander?

[3:38] Fiona@falconecoose: <C> This is the MacAlpine what is the status of the evacuation...don't know how much longer we can keep this up...got hull breaches on multiple decks and shields failing."

Caspius@lusipurr#2374 looks at his hand, only now realising that blood is trickling down it from a large gash in his forearm.

[3:38] Rose@turtles#8407: <C> Ops to Valley Forge priorities recovery, prepare for heavy wounded.

[3:39] Alex@S.J.Brex: <C> MacAlpine, moving to assist.

<Caspius> Ah. It appears I will be subjected to Doctor Pohl's ministrations after all.

[3:39] Davin@arkaik353: <C> D'Ishae to Llair, doors are open. Confirm when you're aboard and make for the bridge.

[3:39] Rianni@crystyll: <C> Acknowledged DS13. Moving to protect and recover

<Dactylus> "Having to redirect some evacuation centers."

[3:39] Rosewood@fireshade321: <C> It's underway, that's all we know. We've been a bit busy...

[3:39] Andrej Timoreev@chrisdubois: <C>Roger. Than we should give priority to the protection of the escape pods and shuttles while the Dallas helps the MacAlpine

[3:39] Rellir@universal_blue: <C> Acknowledged. Confirm with DS13 if they need more transport for evacuees.

Caspius@lusipurr#2374 looks at the laceration thoughtfully for a moment before returning his attention to the screen.

<Rose> "Fir-Fire surpression is offline is most areas." she waits a moment "the room spinning for anyone else?"

[3:40] Draz@HF_Mudd: <C> Saraswati moving to cover the evacuation.

[3:40] Davin@arkaik353: <C> D'Ishae to DS-13, we're on approach under cloak. If you're still breathing make for the docking ring.

<Dactylus> "We could control forcefields and vent areas to kill the fires."

Dactylus@shoopdanwoop shrugs.
<Dactylus> "Certainly won't work everywhere."

Keri@hawkecosse#4702 one of the medics about carries Keri over to the center console as she tries to catch up on the situation as they medics try in vain to get her to stop so they can treat her fully.

[3:41] Isadora@CaoCaoPuff: <C> Lyn to Eminence. Disengage from the battle and priorititize evacuation of the station.

Caspius@lusipurr#2374 looks down at the screen, which is blinking red and making a loud noise.

Tau@xanthestar looks Rose's way for a moment, then exhales.
<Tau> "Vent what we can but we're limited, now. Hanson, Lieutenant Commander." He motions toward the exit.

<Caspius> We have a... secondary reactor overload in progress, sir.

Dactylus@shoopdanwoop nods. And begins working on that.

<Rose> "The room may be spinning for me sir, but i'm not leaving my Operations deck yet."

Rose@turtles#8407 She taps on the console to help with the venting

[3:43] Rosewood@fireshade321: <C> Rosewood to Avalon. Cover the ships picking up evacuees.

<Tau> "We can't ditch it without causing harm to allied vessels, can we?"

[3:44] Alex@S.J.Brex: <C> Attention shuttlecraft, our aft shields are down and all bays are enabled for recovery, combat landings are authorised.

<Dactylus> "One could tractor it away...possibly."

<Caspius> Secondary reactor systems at twelve percent.

<Tau> "How evacuated are we?"

<Caspius> All evac shuttles are away.

Tau@xanthestar looks around, trying to find the answer on the messed up consoles

<Caspius> We're in danger of losing the tertiary reactor as well.

Rose@turtles#8407 Checks how the evac is going

<Caspius> With the damage to main engineering...

Caspius@lusipurr#2374 thinks back to the bridge officer's exam he wrote. If he were human, he would probably wince.

<Tau> "Good. Shut down everything we can and head for the rings. D'lshae's incoming. We'll leave if we have to. Vent the reactors, notify allied vessels.

<Tau> "If we can. If we can't, then we can't."

<Caspius> Computer, status of emergency reactor ejection sequence.

[3:47] Tau@xanthestar: <C> Thiessen to D'lshae. How far out are you?

[3:47] Andrej Timoreev@chrisdubois: <C>Attar to MacAlpine, status report

[3:48] Davin@arkaik353: <C> About three meters, Captain. We're on docking pad... three? Three. Engine's running.

[3:48] Tau@xanthestar: <C> "Hold for now, you'll have people incoming shortly. Thank you."

[3:49] Fiona@falconecoose: <C> This is Captain Skye, I have resumed command of the MacAlpine. We severe damage on multiple decks, damage to our engines and shields are almost gone. But we are not out of this fight yet.

[3:49] Davin@arkaik353: <C> Thank me when you're on board. D'Ishae out.

[3:50] Rianni@crystyll: <C-encrypted> Creators; I am aboard one of the Starfleet vessels. Please disengage, they misread your attempt and do not desire conflict. They are not your enemy"

[3:51] Alex@S.J.Brex: MacAlpine, Dallas, we're ready to cover your retreat to the transwarp aperture.

[3:51] Andrej Timoreev@chrisdubois: <C>Attar to MacAlpine: do not risk your ship, captain. The Dallas and Avalon will cover you while you reduce your distance from the rear

<Caspius> Wormhole forming, sir.

<Dactylus> "Shuttles are offloaded Captain, escape pods are launching as they fill. Still a lot of trapped people."

<Tau> "Let's go."

Tau@xanthestar glances sidelong.
<Tau> "I thought people were gone."

<Caspius> Reactor ejection is still online... just.

<Caspius> If we are going to eject the secondary reactor, sir, we have to do it now.

Tau@xanthestar exhales.
<Tau> "Crap. Do it. Captain Desimone, please leave, too."

[3:52] GM ||| A series of explosions rocks the station. Those are internal.

Caspius@lusipurr#2374 pushes the button.

Dactylus@shoopdanwoop holds onto the console again.

<Caspius> Ejecting secondary reactor.

<Sara Desimone> *waves as she walks in, her smile laid back and confident* "Well don't you all look nice?"

Sam@drcrippler files in next to Quint.
<Sam> "Emery, long time, no see," he mutters sideways

Minabi@stickybuns14 fusses about with the uniform again, moving a bit to the back while adjusting some things, then curses beneath her breath...and returns to the table.

Quint@jorathedarnesse nods in reply
<Quint> "Seems we've been at both ends of the Galaxy." he mutters

<Sadia Cynis> *offers polite nod to all assembled officers* Captain Sadia Cynis, I'm assigned as Klingon Empire representative for this occasion.

Konieczko@DoABarrelRoll looks over to the Tellarite.
<Konieczko> "Attache Bozgid, you'll be primarily leading these talks. Captain's Quint and Desimone can find themselves a seat on this side of the table as well." He nods to Sadia+

<Sam> "Funny how things always lead back to DS13," he smiles.

Rosewood@fireshade321 glances at Minabi and whispers to her
<Rosewood> "Everything ok?"

<Konieczko> "You'll be welcome on this side as well then, Captain. I'm afraid we may be lacking seats for everyone."

<Lev bim Bozgid> "I'm glad to hear it, considering I didn't get the memo on the last meeting."

Tau@xanthestar adjusts his jacket and chuckles, taking a step back. He leans over to say to Dmitri,
<Tau> "I will be checking in to Ops after a short while, so I won't require a seat. As long as people here don't mind

<Tau> a Vulcan taking my place and standing nearby."

Sam@drcrippler totally minds

Konieczko@DoABarrelRoll takes a few steps back from the table to raise his voice so that he can be heard.
<Konieczko> "Our primary goals here are to enter a more permanent ceasefire and open up communication for friendly relations.+

Quint@jorathedarnesse nods.
<Quint> "It is indeed. Somedays I wonder if they didnt build the place on a galactic thread."

<Sam> "Well, like always, it's always a pleasure to work with you Emery," he smiles.

<Konieczko> If the Azedi want to have strict border control they need to clearly mark it and give those who cross into their space the opportunity to vacate before they're engaged."

<Sadia Cynis> *nods to Nimitz as she listens to Konie*

Jack Buchanan@renagademuffin was always here and knows exactly where he should be.

<Sara Desimone> *sighs gently and settles back in her seat, paying close attention*

Konieczko@DoABarrelRoll continues. He has quite a bit.
<Konieczko> "The Vice Admiral prepared notes and expressed concerns about the range of the space they've claimed, and specifically we want to talk about access to the Yuhop+

Minabi@stickybuns14 seems a little absentminded for the time being.

Quint@jorathedarnesse nods as he listens to Konie
<Quint> "Likewise."

<Konieczko> wormhole. If a ship enters the wormhole by mistake and exits in their territory that would not be good. Especially if we can't get them to agree to a ceasefire for enroaching in territory. We'll+

Tau@xanthestar listens closely, his hands clasped behind his back.

<Konieczko> also be looking for some sort of guarantee that they won't violate our own border. If this all goes well, we might be able to get them to agree to some sort of science exchange. We want to focus+

<Konieczko> specifically on the scientific information we can learn and not any obvious tactical advantages that may be related."

<Konieczko> "As mentioned earlier, we have Attache Bozgid to assist in these talks today. This is a very important dialogue we're opening today and we would like to continue speaking with them. We've been+

<Konieczko> advised to stray from using 'Azed' in speech, whatever the content it may come across as culturally innapropriate. Referring to them as the Azed Confederacy however, will be alright."

<Konieczko> "Are there any questions?"

<Sara Desimone> *sits forward slightly* "Excuse me admiral, but I have a question pertaining to the civillians who were left in a catatonic state. Might we take this opportunity to insist the Confederacy allow us -

<Sara Desimone> access to any medical technology that might help those people?"

Jack Buchanan@renagademuffin clasps his hands, listening to the Admiral.

Rosewood@fireshade321 taps a a finger against the back of his hand.

Konieczko@DoABarrelRoll looks to Sara.
<Konieczko> "Our primary objective is to enter a ceasefire and open a prolonged dialogue. Information on retrieving those civilians from their catatonic state is a goal but secondary to the+

<Konieczko> rest I've listed. It's hoped that if we can get a scientific agreement that may be included. We can possibly use that as a step to achieve the scientific goal."

<Sara Desimone> *Frowns subtly at that, though she nods* "Understood. I hope it sends the right message."

<Konieczko> "Any further questions?"

<Jack Buchanan> "Is there any concern that asking for scientific information may come across as.. demanding?"

Minabi@stickybuns14 frowns a little, listening to the explanations offered, her eyes though focused on the open room, still seeming somewhat with her own thoughts.

<Jack Buchanan> "Additonally- we don't know that they don't posess their own version of, say, the Prime Directive. What if the mere suggestion of giving information to more 'primitive' civilizations is seen as ~

<Jack Buchanan> ~ offensive?"

Konieczko@DoABarrelRoll looks to Jack.
<Konieczko> "The intent is for an information trade. Exact details can be hammered out, but to see if they may be interested in agreeing to such a thing."

<Konieczko> "We don't have all of the answers. These are goals laid out by myself and the Vice Admiral. If they deem it innapropriate we won't push for it."

Jack Buchanan@renagademuffin nods.
<Jack Buchanan> "Fair enough."

<Sara Desimone> "I just hope they understand how seriously we take the matter of abduction and experimentation. Their morality may not look at it as anything more than borrowing a cup of sugar."

Tau@xanthestar looks around the room, clearly scanningh it over as if triple-checking things. He idly moves towards Sara's chair, patting her shoulder a few times and moving back away as he walks around the room

<Konieczko> "Now. We should have a bit of time to get any nerves out. Help yourselves to water or something else non-alcoholic. Clear minds today.."

Konieczko@DoABarrelRoll moves back to the chair he was previously occupying and pours himself a glass of water from one of many pitchers on the table.

<Sadia Cynis> *grimaces* Nerve tonics. Urgh.

<Lev bim Bozgid> "Get me an earth coffee, stat."

Tau@xanthestar looks sidelong, then heads over toward Sadia.
<Tau> "Captain Cynis, I can't say I expected to see you here."

Rosewood@fireshade321 takes a deep, slow breath.

Tau@xanthestar offers her a wide smile, brightening up a little.

<Sara Desimone> *laid her hand atop Tau's briefly before he stepped away. She looks over at Dmitri* "How you doing?"

<Sadia Cynis> *grins* Captain. I hear congratulations are in order.

Sam@drcrippler looks to the bar.
<Sam> "Either of you two want a drink?" he asks Quint and Jack

Quint@jorathedarnesse half heartedly leans on a nearby chair
<Quint> "The wonderful wait."

<Konieczko> "I would rather the Vice Admiral be here, but we'll be fine."

Quint@jorathedarnesse shakes his head
<Quint> "Im good. Thanks."

Minabi@stickybuns14 heads to the bar and leans on the counter briefly.
<Minabi> "Coffee, black please."

Jack Buchanan@renagademuffin looks to Sam, rubbing at his beard for a moment.
<Jack Buchanan> "No- thank you for the offer, though."

<Sara Desimone> "Better than fine." *she flashes him a confident smile*

<Sam> "Now I look bad for getting one. Fine diplomacy there lads," he chuckles and moves over to the bar

Tau@xanthestar chuckles and looks down a moment, nodding as he looks back up at her with a bashful smile.
<Tau> "Yeah. Weird, right...? How've you been?"

<Sara Desimone> "Neema is gonna be so impressed by the job you do here today that she might fake not being able to talk for a few days longer just to take a break."

Lev bim Bozgid@cob450 downs the coffee in three long swigs, then sets the mug back on the bar.

<Lev bim Bozgid> "Get me something for my breath now, something minty."

Konieczko@DoABarrelRoll smirks.
<Konieczko> "I'm not so sure about that."

Minabi@stickybuns14 picks up the cup presented to her and takes a slow sip.

<Sadia Cynis> *shrugs* Can't complain. And yes, I didn't expect to be at these peace talks myself. Ambassador that was supposed to be here got himself killed in a duel with the ship captain that was transporting -

Lev bim Bozgid@cob450 takes a small breath mint from the bartender and tosses it into his mouth.

<Sam> "Tea, Earl Grey, black, no sugar," he ordes

Quint@jorathedarnesse looks at Jack
<Quint> "Well..What ya think?"

<Sadia Cynis> - him here.

Tau@xanthestar blinks widely, looking surprised before letting out a laugh of shock.

<Tau> "That's...unfortunate. I'm sorry to hear that."

[0:36] Jetaal@epicalyx: <C> Jetaal to Ops. We are monitoring activity at the entrance. All is peaceful for now.

<Sadia Cynis> So High Command diverted me here, to be a pretty face of the Empire. *shrugs* Don't be. Stupidity like that should not be mourned.

Lev bim Bozgid@cob450 sits at the head of the table and starts perusing info on his PADD.

<Jack Buchanan> "I think that my dress whites are tighter than I remember." He adjusts his top.

Sam@drcrippler takes the tea.
<Sam> "You ready for this Captain?"

Quint@jorathedarnesse laughs a bit

<Quint> Ya...THey do that.

Tau@xanthestar chuckles and looks sidelong a moment.
<Tau> "Well, I won't fight you on that, but I can't say it's not unfortunate to hear nonetheless. It -is- good to see you. I was just saying to someone the other da

<Tau> y it had been too long since we had seen you around Starbase."

[0:39] Rose@turtles#8407: <C> Understood, keep us posted.

Jack Buchanan@renagademuffin pats his belly.
<Jack Buchanan> "I don't think it's their fault. I've been slacking on my excerise routine. Plus, all that home baking with Verelan can't help."

Minabi@stickybuns14 takes another slow sip and turns to look at the delegation of officers, pursing her lips a bit.

[0:39] Jetaal@epicalyx: <C> Jetaal to Operations. We have suspicious chatter here regarding 'awaiting a signal'. We are moving to secure the chatterers with a minimum of force.

Quint@jorathedarnesse grins
<Quint> "Hows she doing? I havent seen her in ages."

<Sara Desimone> *leans back comfortably and folds her hands in her lap, eyes closing*

<Sadia Cynis> *nods* I was on the anti-Hur'q expedition in the Gamma Quadrant, so was I away for almost two months.

Tau@xanthestar grimaces.
<Tau> "Man. How'd that go for all of you...?"

<Tau> "We know how it ends, but that's a long mission."

<Jack Buchanan> "Growing fast." He grins brightly. "Sharp, too. Takes more after her mother every day."

Rosewood@fireshade321 keeps watching the doorway like a hawk.

Minabi@stickybuns14 peers to Sam and then smiles idly.
<Minabi> "I don't know? Not sure one can ever be really ready for these things."

Sam@drcrippler turns sipping his drink.
<Sam> "That is true,"

Quint@jorathedarnesse shakes his head
<Quint> "Youre in for a rough ride there man. Hows Aurelia by the way? Caught her..a month or so back in passing."

Minabi@stickybuns14 smirks.
<Minabi> "At least it'll be....I was going to say over, but that's not true. But...the first big chunk is going to be out of the way finally."

Konieczko@DoABarrelRoll mouths words to himself as he runs through talking points.

Jack Buchanan@renagademuffin laughs.
<Jack Buchanan> "She's.. doing well. As well as can be expected, at least. Shockingly, a little tired of doing undercover work. She's been looking into work with the Embassy- maybe something ~

<Jack Buchanan> ambassadorial."

<Sam> "Exactly," he smiles. "Captain Samuel Bishop, I don't think I've met you before,"

<Sadia Cynis> It's been quite a struggle, though it ended quite unexpectedly.

Minabi@stickybuns14 smiles and nods, extending a hand.
<Minabi> "Minabi Derix, Captain of the USS Kassandra, nice to meet you."

<Tau> "How are things out there now, though? BReen still giving you a problem..?"

Quint@jorathedarnesse 's eyes widden a tad bit
<Quint> "Wow....I didnt think she'd ever tire of that. Quite the shift, but she'll do well in that roll."

<Jack Buchanan> "Honestly, I think that she mostly misses bossing people around."

Quint@jorathedarnesse grins

Sam@drcrippler shakes her hand.
<Sam> "Not the best place to meet, but it would be useful to get to know the people I'm meant to be diplomating with,"

[0:45] Jetaal@epicalyx: <C> Chatterers quietly secured, sirs.

[0:46] Caspius@lusipurr#2374: <C> Caspius to Captain Thiessen. An Azedi probe has entered the system and a neutron surge seems to indicate the imminent arrival of our diplomatic guests.

Minabi@stickybuns14 chuckles softly.
<Minabi> "Aye, agreed on that. To be fair, one should remember this is a Peace Talk. THis should be a happy occasion."

Tau@xanthestar 's commbadge goes off with the indication. He holds a finger up to Sadia and walks over toward the Admiral as he responds.

<Sadia Cynis> Captain, Breen are ALWAYS a probl- *nods to Tau as he's about to respond*

[0:48] Tau@xanthestar: <C> "Thiessen here, acknowledged Commander. I will inform those here, please ensure things proceed as we discussed."

[0:48] Caspius@lusipurr#2374: <C> "Aye sir. Caspius out."

Tau@xanthestar leaaans over.
<Tau> "An Azedi probe arrived, Sir. We're reading a neutron surge. Ops thinks they're about to arrive."

Tau@xanthestar doesn't yell that from across the room.

<Sam> "Peace talks are never a good occasion. They're just solemn and..." pauses as his combadge chirps. He listens.

Konieczko@DoABarrelRoll looks over his shoulder to Tau. He nods slightly.
<Konieczko> "Thank you, Captain."

Tau@xanthestar might be kind of a nervous Nelly.

Minabi@stickybuns14 tilts her head and listens as well. She frowns a bit.

<Sara Desimone> "Hey Captain Thiessen?"

Tau@xanthestar glances over.
<Tau> "Hm?"

<Sara Desimone> *flashes him a big grin and a little wink* "Too easy for us."

Tau@xanthestar lets out a sudden laugh - he had clearly expected something a little more serious.

<Tau> "...yeah. You're right. You want a drink?"

Sam@drcrippler glances at Minabi.
<Sam> "Show time," he downs his drink and moves towards the table. Probably hoping to bag a seat

Minabi@stickybuns14 nods and ifnishes her coffee.

Sam@drcrippler nods to Sadia

<Sara Desimone> "God yes. But that'll have to wait awihle." *chuckles*

<Sadia Cynis> *nods to Sam* Captain. You ready for the talks?

Minabi@stickybuns14 walks past Tau and smiles to him and Sara as she takes up position behind her and Rosewood.

<Sam> "When it comes to talking, I'm always ready. Peace is preferable to war,"

Lev bim Bozgid@cob450 looks up as murmurs of the representatives' arrival reaches his end of the table, then puts his PADD away and stands.

<Sadia Cynis> Well, we'll have to see if the Confederacy holds the same opinion.

Tau@xanthestar smiles over at Sara, then smooths out his jacket. He heads toward the bar

Konieczko@DoABarrelRoll climbs up from his seat and looks expectantly towards the door.

Alistair Nimitz@natthaan mutters to Quint
<Alistair Nimitz> "Their method of arrival might be a little dramatic.."

<Sam> "One can hope," he nods

Quint@jorathedarnesse nods
<Quint> "Has been"

<Sara Desimone> *Stands up when the admiral does*

Tau@xanthestar returns and leans over to Sara, offering her a sparkling water. He smiles down at her and nudges her shoulder briefly, then steps back.

<Sara Desimone> *takes a swig from the glass Tau offers her, giving a quick smile of thanks*

Sam@drcrippler stands behind the chair. His chances of bagging one were dropping rapidly

Rosewood@fireshade321 looks about as relaxed as a well tuned violin string.

[0:56] Jetaal@epicalyx: <C> Jetaal to Operations. We have another group of protestors, much louder than the first. We will contend with them.

[0:56] Rose@turtles#8407: <C> Keep us posted.

<NPC> | Without warning radiation alarms go off, but are quickly muted. Opposite the table a small wormhole flashes into existence.

Alistair Nimitz@natthaan did warn Quint about it

Minabi@stickybuns14 straightens and peers at the Wormhole.

Konieczko@DoABarrelRoll looks up briefly towards the alarms and then stares at the wormhole.

<Sara Desimone> *takes another quick sip, then sets her glass down. A note of irritation touches her brow*

Lev bim Bozgid@cob450 makes a point of not acting startled at the wormhole's appearance.

<NPC> | Three figures step through the wormhole, which promptly snaps shut behind them.

Alistair Nimitz@natthaan stuffes a remark about at least a chair didn't die this time.

Quint@jorathedarnesse having read the AARs expected the wormhole.

Tau@xanthestar takes a deep breath, glancing at Sara instead of looking at the wormhole.

[0:59] Rose@turtles#8407: <C> Commander Hanson to sercurity forces, Commander Caspius is allowing you to use whatever non-lethal force is necesarry to resolve the sercurity issues.

<Sadia Cynis> *rises an eyebrow at the newcomers way of entry, but keeps her cool*

NPC@dandin384 scans the assembled aliens for a moment before stepping forward to the table, naturally moving to the person in the middle.

Sam@drcrippler would really like wormhole travel. Those entrances are flashy and cool

NPC@dandin384 sidesteps the poorly built Federation chair.

Konieczko@DoABarrelRoll looks to the alien who stepped forward.
<Konieczko> "Welcome to Deep Space 13. I'm Rear Admiral Konieczko of the 38th fleet."

NPShe@dryadaepart2#7577 looks disdainfully at the group of aliens before her and stalks towards the table beside her compatriot.

Judy@holokat promptly whips out a paper or some similar material fan and fans herself lightly as she steps more languidly after the others.

Minabi@stickybuns14 focuses her attention on Judy. Based on the last encounter, she is the one to look out for (and based on the fact she is named and has a fan).

Alistair Nimitz@natthaan glances to 'NPC', trying to see if he is the same dude as last week.

<NPC> "I am Arch-Guide Aci. With me are representatives from the Viggo." He motions to the one on his left. "Commandant Ma'lo Cofreun. And from the Ikmore." He motions to the one behind him. "Sage+

<NPC> Fern Tsholofelo."

[1:02] Jetaal@epicalyx: <C> Operations, we have a situation. Security is moving in to contain it.

Judy@holokat glides towards the chair, inspecting it curiously, fanning herself slowly all the while, seemingly not entirely acknowledging the introductions.

[1:03] Rose@turtles#8407: <C> Sercurity, we are prepared to employ force fields if need be.

<NPC> ((Left from your perspective >.>))

Judy@holokat takes a seat with all delicacy.

<Konieczko> "Good to make your acquaintance." He gestures far down the table to the Tellarite. "We're joined by Federation Attache Bozgid." He gestures to his right, "Captain Cynis, representing the Klingon+

Quint@jorathedarnesse looks to each as they are introduced.

<Konieczko> Empire." He gestures more locally to those on either side. "Captains Desimone, Quint and Thiessen, who are senior officers within this fleet."

Judy@holokat sits there for a few moments, head tilted, before she fluidly rises from the seat after a few moments.

Sam@drcrippler eyes Judy

<Sadia Cynis> *offers a curt nod as she's introduced*

<Lev bim Bozgid> "Pleased to meet you, in person this time," Lev says with a genuine smile and a bow.

Tau@xanthestar nods his head respectfully. He offers a smile, bowing slightly at the introduction.

Judy@holokat may not even be paying attention to these intros as she glides down to the next chair and gives it a similar inspection and sit down.

<Sara Desimone> *folds her hands behind her back and smiles at the delegation, smiling warmly and nodding as she hears her name*

Sam@drcrippler wonders if he should tell her how a chair works

[1:06] Jetaal@epicalyx: <C> Please engage forcefields to close the entrance to the Embassy. We will handle the remaining protestors in the lobby and the external security team will subdue the excess.

Minabi@stickybuns14 would give a brief and friendly nod to Aci, remembering him after all, if he happens to look her way at some point.

[1:06] Rose@turtles#8407: <C> Acknowledged.

Konieczko@DoABarrelRoll gestures at the pitchers on the table.
<Konieczko> "We have refreshments available but can get something else if you would rather."

Konieczko@DoABarrelRoll sideyes Judy way down there.

NPC@dandin384 doesn't pay his companion any mind.
<NPC> "Thank you for inviting us to your Starbase. To be here in person is an achievment."

Judy@holokat squints at Sadia across from her, waving her fan a little at the Orion, before she stands up and goes allllll the way down.

NPShe@dryadaepart2#7577 moves up to the edge of the table and leans forwards, resting both fists on the wood surface, studying each officer and dignitiary introduced in turn.

<Konieczko> "I agree fully. To have a dialogue here is only evidence that we can build a relationship."

Minabi@stickybuns14 watches as Judy wanders around, curiously.

Judy@holokat takes another seat in this chair.

Konieczko@DoABarrelRoll gives a small and friendly smile.

Rosewood@fireshade321 inclines his head to the fan-weilding alien.

Lev bim Bozgid@cob450 offers Judy a smile as she reaches his end of the table.

Judy@holokat expels a small sigh as she seems to give up and concede that all these chairs are the %*#$ing same. She fans herself in disappointment.

NPC@dandin384 offers Judy somewhat of an I told you look before looking back to Koni.
<NPC> "We are here to discuss peace, so let us do that."

<Konieczko> "Let us, please." he gestures to the open seat next to the Arch Guide and takes his own.

Judy@holokat 's expression lights up as she suddenly jumps out of her seat and skitters to the other side of the table.

[1:10] Jetaal@epicalyx: Jetaal to Operations. Please seal the starboard entrance.

Minabi@stickybuns14 peers to Judy still, blinking.

Judy@holokat trills.
<Judy> "Excuse me, would you!" She interjects to Rosewood as she slides into his chair.

<Sara Desimone> *sits at last when Konie does, leaning back and looking all three of the xenos over*

Konieczko@DoABarrelRoll looks down to that side of the table.

Rosewood@fireshade321 blinks.
<Rosewood> "Uhh... be my guest."

Judy@holokat sits and pauses. She fans herself a couple times as her expression shifts.

<Sara Desimone> *Mostly at Judy though. She watches her curiously, one brow up and a smirk on her face*

Sam@drcrippler wonders if he can take the chair at the end? Inches closer to it

<NPC> "I will remain standing, thank you. However, do feel free to seat yourselves. Let us first...start with the progress of your vessels. We have observed progress towards leaving our space. I am glad

Tau@xanthestar rubs at his jaw and raises his brows.

[1:11] Rose@turtles#8407: <C> Ops here, sealing entrance now.

<NPC> that deal was honored."

NPShe@dryadaepart2#7577 eventually moves to a chair and sits cautiously, as if expecting it to bite her. When nothing untoward happens, she resumes staring across the table.

Judy@holokat hmms a little as she slooowly rises. She sighs at Rosewood, giving his shoulder a polite doubletap with her fan if he doesn't shy away, and moves back towards the other side of the table.

Konieczko@DoABarrelRoll looks from Judy to the Arch Guide as he begins talking.
<Konieczko> "We fully intend to honor any deal struck before, and any we strike here today. We fully support your right to closed borders in your+

Judy@holokat tilts her head back to study the greenery.

Minabi@stickybuns14 tilts her head, a small smile coming to her lips, then continues to observe the others quietly, hands clasped behind her back for the moment.

<Sara Desimone> *gestures Tau closer with a croocked finger and a smile. Seems she wants to whisper*

Sam@drcrippler goes for it and takes the seat

Rosewood@fireshade321 politley nods to Judy as she walks past, then gives Minabi a look of 'what just happened?'

Tau@xanthestar smiles to himself a moment before turning his attention fully back onto the talks. He remains standing for now between the Rear Admiral and Desimone, though for a moemtn he leans over toward her.

<Sara Desimone> *leans up and speaks softly*

<Konieczko> own sovereign space. With that however comes uncertainty of where your space lies. We hope we can come to an agreement on marking where the Confederacy's space begins."

Sam@drcrippler looks like a man who has achieved his goal of taking a seat. He leans back and fastens his arms in his lap

<Konieczko> "With that, we're hoping comes an allowance to leave your space should there be accidental crossing. To which we would honor for you as well."

[1:15] Rose@turtles#8407: Commander Hanson to Sercurity please Spare two sercurity officers and send them to Deck 187, they will accompany two engineers there.

<Sara Desimone> *frowns in disappointment at whatever she hears, then gets back to focusing on Konie and the Grand Poobah*

<NPC> "A clearly defined border would serve as a useful delineation for both our sides. Regarding trespass in respective territory, we have one matter to address before further agreements can be met." He

<NPC> looks to the Commandant.

Konieczko@DoABarrelRoll likewise looks to the Commandant.

[1:17] Jetaal@epicalyx: <C> Jetaal to Hanson. We have this location under control. Two officers are on their way.

Quint@jorathedarnesse loosk over as well. Still he keeps an eye on Judy's roaming.

NPShe@dryadaepart2#7577 sharply inclines her head, and looks to her right.
<NPShe> "I cannot think but this...request...is anything but expected." She begins carefully, but firmly. "Your outpost within our borders. This is +

Judy@holokat eventually grows bored of the plantlife and has a seat over here. She gives Quint a benign smile, fanfan.

<NPShe> +frankly not going to be acceptable to us. We want it gone, and we want to observe the removal. Of course, if you prefer, you could just give us the location and we could arrange the removal+

<NPShe> +ourselves..." She trails off, with a smirk.

Tau@xanthestar looks to Dmitri sidelong, brows furrowing

NPShe@dryadaepart2#7577 's attention is on Lev.

Minabi@stickybuns14 furrows a brow, watching the exchange.

Konieczko@DoABarrelRoll clears his throat to attempt to pull attention.
<Konieczko> "We have begun work on dismantling our outpost. We are expecting that to be done in short order."

Sam@drcrippler reaches forward to take a pitcher of water and pours somem in for himself. Sits back. Take a sip. Watches

<Konieczko> "If I'm not mistaken, we've dispatched two ships to work on that?" He looks to Tau.

<Lev bim Bozgid> "Yes, from my understanding Starfleet has already been in the process of dismantling the outpost. We intend to fully keep our promise to remove any Federation assets from your sovereign space."

Judy@holokat 's gaze continues to wander and her expression grows wide as she sees the fireplace. Mesmerized, she stealths out of her seat to float over there.

Tau@xanthestar opens his mouth to respond, glancing around.
<Tau> "Work has started on the task, yes. Primary systems are down, and the ships are back. The physical outpost remains and we can dismantle the rest -

<Tau> " he seems hesitant "...at your command and their leisure, Sir."

Tau@xanthestar looks from the Admiral to the big lead fella on the other side.

<Sadia Cynis> *observes Fern as she heads to the fireplace*

<NPShe> "That's easily -said-," she sniffs. "We want to observe this dismantling ourselves."

Judy@holokat is now fanning herself while standing next to the fireplace.

Isadora@CaoCaoPuff glances briefly over to the fireplace. Her expression suggests she'd rather be there than here, but she quickly turns her attention back to the people talking

Konieczko@DoABarrelRoll gives a slight smile to the commandant.
<Konieczko> "We can provide you with the coordinates."

[1:26] Dactylus@shoopdanwoop: <C> Jekk to Security, please locate Console Charlie 23 on deck 55, an unautherised transmission was sent from that console."

[1:27] Jetaal@epicalyx: <C> Acknowledged. We will locate.

Judy@holokat walks away after a while and comes back to the table. Her expression seems mildly surprised and disappointed that everyone's still there.

Sam@drcrippler wonders if he should tell Judy that her people are on the other side

Judy@holokat gives Sam a small smile, apparently for no reason at all.

Sam@drcrippler returns the smile

Judy@holokat walks off to stand right here.

<NPShe> "Acceptable. We will verify them." She finally leans back, glancing from Lev to Konie, pressing her lips tightly together.

Konieczko@DoABarrelRoll nods once and looks back to the Arch Guide.

<Sadia Cynis> *rises slowly from her chair as Fern goes behind her back*

Judy@holokat gives Sadia a smile as well. She answers in a low voice, so as not to disrupt the rest of the speakers. Finally, some manners.

<NPC> "It will take time for us to implement a comprehensive border marker system, but we will start the process immediately upon our return."

Isadora@CaoCaoPuff glances sideways at the two. Guess we're all standing then.

<Sadia Cynis> *lowers her voice as she responds to Judy*

Tau@xanthestar looks between Lev and Koni, then back to the others across the table.

NPC@dandin384 isn't even glancing at Fern.

Minabi@stickybuns14 observes the two on the other side of the table quietly, though her gaze does drift to Fern now and then, curious.

Judy@holokat actually titters.

<Konieczko> "Can we discuss the possibility of civilian access? To and from, or even just simply as allowing any accidental crossings to leave your space?"

[1:33] Caspius@lusipurr#2374: <C> Automatic message: Station at yellow alert. Captain Thiessen, report to Main Operations.

Tau@xanthestar looks up and bolts off, slapping his commbadge as he heads off.

<Sara Desimone> *sighs under her breath and looks at Tau*

Minabi@stickybuns14 follows Tau with her gaze for a moment, her fetaures remaining neutral. She then peers back to the others.

[1:35] Tau@xanthestar: <C> Thiessen to Ops, I'm enroute. Is anyone available to elaborate?"

<NPC> "We...are open to the idea of a small zone near the border. Perhaps several kilometers. Within that zone one warning will be given. The matter of civilian transit is not possible at this stage."

Lev bim Bozgid@cob450 looks exasperatingly at all the Starfleet folks to his right as if to say 'what did y'all do now?'

Judy@holokat smiles openly.

Sam@drcrippler glances at Tau and mentally shrugs. When you've got to go, you've got to go...

[1:35] Rose@turtles#8407: <C> Hanson To Thiessen "We have 11 unidentified ships on an intercept course sir."

Isadora@CaoCaoPuff turns her head slightly and speaks softly to the two of them

<Sadia Cynis> *she keeps talking to Fern on low voice, her eyes darting at the Tau as he leaves*

[1:36] Tau@xanthestar: <C> Roger that. Be there momentarily.

Judy@holokat turns towards Isadora, with a wider smile.

Isadora@CaoCaoPuff manages to stay mostly impassive, but a smile slips by anyways.

<Konieczko> "Several kilometers is a short distance with respect. I would have to ask for a buffer zone of one hundred kilometers."

Judy@holokat keeps her voice low.

<Konieczko> "That may even be low on the scale and of course your ships would be offered the same."

[1:37] Dactylus@shoopdanwoop: <C> Starbase operations to local Federation vessels, be aware of unknown inbound ships, eleven total."

Sam@drcrippler 's combadge beeps quietly and he looks down at his PADD. His brow furrows.

[1:38] Quint@jorathedarnesse: <C> Victory copies. Orders?

<NPC> "Simply install a buffer zone of that distance on your side of the border. There is no reason why ships should stray beyond that. We will make an exception to ships in distress, of course."

[1:38] Dactylus@shoopdanwoop: <C> Proceed to yellow alert and stand by."

Isadora@CaoCaoPuff murmurs back

[1:38] Alistair Nimitz@natthaan: <C> Akagi copies.

[1:39] Beylara Ailes@dryadae: <C> Ockham acknowldges.

[1:39] Fiona@falconecoose: <C> This is the MacAlpine, going to yellow alert.

[1:39] Isadora@CaoCaoPuff: <C> This is Cmdr Liang onboard Eminence. We acknowledge.

Quint@jorathedarnesse nods a bit at hearing that.

Judy@holokat laughs quietly.

[1:39] Rosewood@fireshade321: <C> Avalon copies. Orders understood.

<Sara Desimone> *Sara's commbadge vibrates almost noiselessly. Whatever the signal means sets her frowning, tension entering her shoulders*

[1:40] Minabi@stickybuns14: <C> Kassandra reporting, oders understood.

Minabi@stickybuns14 's badge beeps, she taps it, listening closely, remaining impassive.

[1:40] Tau@xanthestar: <C> Thiessen to Rear Admiral Konieczko, could I ask you to step away from the table for a moment so I could have your ear Sir?"

[1:40] Jetaal@epicalyx: <C> Jetaal to Operations. We have confirmed the unauthorized communication. Someone was attempting to override the transporter lockouts."

<Konieczko> "Of course. Distressed vessels aside." He pauses. "We'll do our part on our side of the border, but our concern is of only one warning on your side of the border. In the ideal scenario it won't be+

<Konieczko> an issue at all. I would like to prepare for an unfortunate inevitable."

NPC@dandin384 does not fail to notice the myriad of beeps and buzzes, tense looks, and general unease. He glances to the Commandant.

Konieczko@DoABarrelRoll muffles a badge in his pocket. Obviously the gaudy one on his chest is purely decoration.

[1:42] Sadia Cynis@gulremal: <C> Cmdr. Nurikamm of IKS Daramar to DS 13. We are detecting unknown vessels on approach vector. Do you require assistance?

<NPC> "We will establish a 50 kilometer zone."

Isadora@CaoCaoPuff breaks into a grin as she replies

NPShe@dryadaepart2#7577 's face is impassive and her posture is stiff and tense. She watches the officers across from her with a intent gaze. Then glances down to her wrist.

<Konieczko> "50 kilometer." He looks towards Lev bim.

Judy@holokat smiles towards Isadora. But she gives a distracted glance towards her fellow aliens.

Judy@holokat lifts her fan up and waves it at herself.
<Judy> "Excuse me, wouldn't you?" she asks both of them, before stepping away.

Sam@drcrippler quietly taps his badge and then taps his PADD. Looks up at the conversation and suddenly wonders how the Grand whatshisname can spend the entire conversation standing up

[1:44] Jetaal@epicalyx: <c> Jetaal to Operations. The security breach is ongoing. Not originating at this console. We need data security assistance.

<Sara Desimone> *knits her brows and drums her fingers atop the table - betraying an impatience with the quibbling over a few kilometers while all Hell might be breaking loose outside*

[1:44] Rose@turtles#8407: <C> Ops To Daramar the assistance is welcomed but stay at yellow alet for the moment.

<Sadia Cynis> *she was about to say something, but she nods and turns the attention to her wrist-comm*

NPC@dandin384 does not trust Federation chairs.

Isadora@CaoCaoPuff has her badge on mute apparently. Whatever it is, her XO can take care of it.

<Lev bim Bozgid> "50 kilometers seems reasonable, especially if we can provide adequate warning to our civilian ships near the border. Surely a series of warning buoys or something similar can be established."

[1:45] Dactylus@shoopdanwoop: <C> Understood Jetaal standby.

Quint@jorathedarnesse leans back in his chair. At current he isnt worried. He can only deal with the here and now anyway.

<NPC> "As a sign of good faith we have also ceased all probe launches into your space. A system of warning devices is a sound course of action."

NPC@dandin384 glances to Fern with a face unreadable to the Federation officers and diplomat.

Rosewood@fireshade321 glances at Sara, then at Minabi, looking uncomfortable.

Judy@holokat comes to stand near Aci, fanning herself slowly. She continues to glance around the room.

<Sara Desimone> *steeples her fingers and leans forward a bit in her seat, eyeing the trio of aliens with a naked wariness now*

<Konieczko> "We will cease any launches and either recall or deactivate any probes we already may have launched." He rises from his seat for a moment. "Apologies, if you'll excuse me for just one moment.+

<Konieczko> I'll leave you in the capable hands of Attache Bozgid."

[1:48] Sadia Cynis@gulremal: <C> IKS Daramar copies, we are engaging cloak and moving to stand by.

Lev bim Bozgid@cob450 nods to Konie as he gets up then turns back to the Azedi representative.

NPC@dandin384 allows a frown to crease his face. He looks at the assembled officers, then to Bozgid.
<NPC> "Something is amiss." It's not a question.

Judy@holokat pauses in her fanning and she stares at the side facing her with a strange look on her face.

<Sara Desimone> *glances briefly down to her PADD, then back up to the Big Cheese* "Yes it is."

Isadora@CaoCaoPuff frowns and taps her badge. She holds a short whispered conversation with whoever it is on the other end.

<Konieczko> "That is what I will be attempting to determine. Rest assured, we're all safe here."

Konieczko@DoABarrelRoll steps aside for a moment.

[1:50] Konieczko@DoABarrelRoll: <C> Thiessen from Konieczko, Go.

<Lev bim Bozgid> "Well, I'm glad the prospect of further incursions into each others' space has been addressed. However, I'd like to address past incursions and clear the air."

NPShe@dryadaepart2#7577 staaaaaaaares at Lev, then fixes a gaze on Sara. She rises from her chair.

<Sara Desimone> *cocks her head pensively and looks back at NPShe*

NPC@dandin384 motions for Lev to go on, glancing to Ma'lo.

<Sadia Cynis> *she opts to remain standing, acting disinterested as she taps at her wrist comm's commands*

[1:51] Tau@xanthestar: <C> "Sir we have 11 ships on intercept for DS13. Just entering short range scan now. Prior to that, an unauthorized transmission left the station indication 'here'."

Quint@jorathedarnesse conciders a comment to possibly defuse but seeing as the one in charge is paying attention to Lev, he lets it be.

Judy@holokat drifts over to the Commandant. She questions lowly, but this side of table can likely hear.

[1:51] Tau@xanthestar: <C> We haven't brought weapons online because we don't want to ... well, startle the Azedi. Are they expecting any allies?"

Minabi@stickybuns14 remains calm, peering at the Commandant quietly. She prefers not to say anything right now, awaiting further communication.

<Lev bim Bozgid> "Our first interaction with the Confederacy was when your ships appeared suddenly in our space, committed an attack on our computer systems, and abducted some of our citizens. +"

[1:52] Konieczko@DoABarrelRoll: <C> Is there any indication on where the 11 ships are coming from?

Isadora@CaoCaoPuff opts to take the empty chair

<Judy> Is this a trap after all, then?

[1:53] Dactylus@shoopdanwoop: <C> Jekk to Security, nothing about that console seems to stand out. Keep an eye out at any terminals. Jekk out."

[1:53] Jetaal@epicalyx: <C> Acknowledged.

<Lev bim Bozgid> "My hope is that this was an unfortunate misunderstanding but with a lack of communication between our peoples at the time, it was difficult to tell."

<Sara Desimone> *takes a slow sip of water*

<NPC> "Regretable, yes. I am glad we can put that incident behind us, and avoid any further such hostilities. A first contact can always be quite...delicate."

<Quint> On the note of that..If I may.

Quint@jorathedarnesse glances down to Lev.

NPShe@dryadaepart2#7577 leans back towards the Sage and her response is a low growl.
<NPShe> "Maybe. I wouldn't put it past them."

<Sara Desimone> *knits her brow and tilts her head. She clearly has a lot she'd like to bring up*

Lev bim Bozgid@cob450 holds a hand out towards Quint to give the floor to him.

NPC@dandin384 turns to Quint.

[1:55] Sam@drcrippler: <C> The Endeavour can deploy our Aquarius shuttle and use it to scout ahead if needed

NPShe@dryadaepart2#7577: ||The Commandant's wristunit chirps a loud, jarring alarm. She snaps to attention and slaps it into silence, glaring at it. "We're leaving!" She snaps at the other two, "Activate the transport!" She +

[1:56] Fiona@falconecoose: <C> This is Commander Orso, of the MacAlpine. Requesting a status update."

Quint@jorathedarnesse stops his answer at the actions occuring.

Lev bim Bozgid@cob450 stands at the representative's sudden exclaimation.

Rosewood@fireshade321 looks like he is about to speak when the Commondant snaps her order.

Konieczko@DoABarrelRoll looks over his shoulder as the aliens start doing things.

Alistair Nimitz@natthaan blinks in surprise

Sam@drcrippler looks over. Great talk

Judy@holokat startles back from the snarling Ma'lo.

[1:57] Jetaal@epicalyx: <C> Jetaal to Operations. We have located the hacker.

<Sara Desimone> *Stands up* "We're not trying to trap you." *she's speaking directly tot he Ma'lo, locking eyes if she's able*

<Minabi> "Commandant, we are preparing to deal with whoever it is that wishes to interrupt these talks. That is why things are hectic right now."

[1:58] Tau@xanthestar: <C> "Itrin sector Sir. Unidentified vessels, weapons and shields online in all. Three minutes from contact, we're going to go to red alert - will you explain the situation?"

NPShe@dryadaepart2#7577: +barks into the wrist-unit. As the radiation alarms go off again, she glares at the representatives of the Federation. "Let's get out of here before we all die!" The wormhole fizzes into existence at+

NPShe@dryadaepart2#7577: +her orders.

<Lev bim Bozgid> "Please, I beg you--"

NPShe@dryadaepart2#7577: "No time! We have to go!"

NPC@dandin384 happens to already be looking at Quint. He glances over in shock at the alarm.
<NPC> "Traitors!" he exclaims at the Federation, backing up and quickly porting through the wormhole.

<Sara Desimone> "Our civillian population is panicked because you have damaged the minds of their loved ones, and are trying to sabotage these talks out of spite!"

Judy@holokat doesn't offer a protest and she gliiiides quickly towards the wormhole.

[1:59] Konieczko@DoABarrelRoll: <C> Standby-

Sam@drcrippler wonders if he should run to intercept and jump into the wormhole

<NPC> | The wormhole snaps shut.

Spoiler: RECOVERED EMBASSY DECK LOG -- 94840.2 BUFFER 2 -- HALL EVACShow

Lev bim Bozgid@cob450 turns to glare at the Starfleet people.

[1:59] Caspius@lusipurr#2374: <C> Station-wide: Red Alert. All hands to stations.

Konieczko@DoABarrelRoll comes back to the table.
<Konieczko> "What the hell happened?" He sounds angry.

Quint@jorathedarnesse looks at Konie,
<Quint> "Whats heading our way?'

<Alistair Nimitz> "Something spooked them.."

Isadora@CaoCaoPuff looks irritated, but also less than surprised

Sam@drcrippler watches the wormhole close. Well that answered his question. He stands

<Sara Desimone> "The big one's wrist thing went off and they left." *she growls under her breath*

Rosewood@fireshade321 curses loudly, then slams his p[palm to his comm badge.
<Rosewood> "Rosewod to Avalon! Report!"

<Lev bim Bozgid> "WHAT DID YOU DO?!"

<Konieczko> "You were the one talking to them!" He snaps at Lev bim.

Alistair Nimitz@natthaan looks to Lev, most likely thinking about all the ways to make bacon out of him.

<Sara Desimone> *Looks at Lev steadily* "You really think this is a scheme?"

<NPC> | The overhead lighting snaps to condition red. Alarms go off.

<Sadia Cynis> *sighs and turns to Lev* 11 unknown vessels are heading this way, ready to fight, ambassador.

Sam@drcrippler shakes his head and scrolls through the PADD comms.
<Sam> "This is clearly sabotage..."

<Lev bim Bozgid> "No but clearly Starfleet is failing to keep something under control out there."

[2:01] Jetaal@epicalyx: <C> Jetaal to Operations. I need an emergency transport directly to a secured cell.

<Sara Desimone> *heaves an intense sigh and runs her hands across the top of her head* "I think we're done with you for now ambassador, thanks."

<Sadia Cynis> I guess I'm stuck here?

[2:01] Fiona@falconecoose: <C> This is Captain Skye, belay that.

Isadora@CaoCaoPuff sighs
<Isadora> "If you all will excuse me, the talks seem to have concluded and we have something of a situation in space."

[2:01] Rose@turtles#8407: <C> Acknowledged, initating transport.

Sam@drcrippler nods.
<Sam> "Shall we return to our ships sir?" he asks Konie

<Isadora> "If there's nothing else, permission to go somewhere more useful?"

[2:02] Jetaal@epicalyx: <C> Engage.

[2:02] Rose@turtles#8407: | Ops Transports the badguy

Rosewood@fireshade321 curls his lip as he listens to a hurried report from his ship.

Alistair Nimitz@natthaan keeps himself composed, although his face is looking more pale then usual.

Konieczko@DoABarrelRoll boots his chair. He's got an angry.
<Konieczko> "We're at red alert. Shields are raised, you're not going to get to your ships."

<Quint> So what do we know Admiral?

Minabi@stickybuns14 hurries to the side to coordinate with her XO on the Kassandra

Quint@jorathedarnesse looks over at Konie, calm but his expression is anoyed

<Konieczko> "Eleven ships from the itrin sector. That's all we have."

Konieczko@DoABarrelRoll taps his badge again.

Isadora@CaoCaoPuff returns the look with an even stare before walking a ways off to open up her comm channels. Her point stands, they're not doing any good here.

<Sam> "This is fun," he mutters, returning to his water and taking a sip. Has to trust in his ship to do their stuff.

[2:05] Konieczko@DoABarrelRoll: <C> Thiessen from Konieczko. Talks are over the Confederacy diplomats have left in a huff. What is going on?

<Sara Desimone> *leans against the table and types away on her PADD*

<Sadia Cynis> *goes to the bar* Talks are done, can you get some actual alcohol now?

[2:06] Tau@xanthestar: <C> The Azedi ships have engaged with the incoming ships in combat Sir. We're...we still can't identufy what they are, but they're ignoring our vessels. All of them.

<Quint> Enemies of the Azed or perhaps their own form of...Disgruntled Officers?

Lev bim Bozgid@cob450 walks up to Konie.

[2:06] Fiona@falconecoose: <C> This is the MacAlpine requesting update on orders, currently shadowing group of Azedi ships cloesest to DS13

Sam@drcrippler sits next to Isa as he loosens his dress uniform.

<Sara Desimone> "I swear to God, if these are some wannabe Maquis fraxwits, I'm gonna hit the roof."

<Lev bim Bozgid> "I don't know what's going on out there but apparently the representative and head of the 'aggressive' faction think we've set them up. I need either an explanation or an excuse."

Konieczko@DoABarrelRoll quirks a brow at his badge.
<Konieczko> "They're engaging the Azedi. If you're in communications with your ships tell them to standby."

<Sam> "Here is a great big battle raging above us and we're stuck down here," he mutters

Isadora@CaoCaoPuff appears to have given up trying to contact her ship for the time being. She turns to Sam
<Isadora> "Mmm, I'm thinking we should stop having these big diplomatic meetings."

Rosewood@fireshade321 moves to the far side of the table and starts pacing.

<Isadora> "They just never seem to end well."

Alistair Nimitz@natthaan still looking seriouslly pale as he takes his comm and walks over to chat with his XO.

<Sara Desimone> *Looks at Konie, brows up* "Sir, I've relayed orders to Axiom and Polaris to -defend- our diplomatic guests. Are you asking me to belay?"

<Sam> "I'm never any good at these, I just sit and watch,"

<Sadia Cynis> *turns to Konie* So, we are not to get ourselves involved?

Quint@jorathedarnesse nods and pulsl out hsi PADD,
<Quint> "Its past that Admiral. Its a full dogfight out there."

Sam@drcrippler eyes his PADD as he gets reports on what's happening in the deep black space

Konieczko@DoABarrelRoll pulls his face to one side.

[2:09] Konieczko@DoABarrelRoll: <C> Thiessen what's happening out there?

[2:09] Kermit@bobisgod171: ||| An Azedi Dreadnought beam weapon impacts DS13's shield bubble. The station rumbles and some lights flicker.

<Isadora> "Uh huh, why'd you bother coming them? Don't tell me it was for the bar.. it's non alcoholic so far as I know."

<Sara Desimone> *Looks expectantly at Konie, hands hovering over her PADD*

Isadora@CaoCaoPuff pauses as the station takes an impact. Well that's not ideal.

Konieczko@DoABarrelRoll places a hand on the back of his seat with the rumble.

<Sadia Cynis> *wobbles as the station's hit* Whoa that's some serious firepower!

Quint@jorathedarnesse glances up.
<Quint> "Fights in full swing." he looks over at Sara then to Konie.

Lev bim Bozgid@cob450 raises his hands slightly to steady himself as the station rocks

<Konieczko> "Give me a minute."

Rosewood@fireshade321 pauses in his pacing long enough to look up at the lights, then sneers at the whole situation.

[2:10] Konieczko@DoABarrelRoll: <C> Thiessen, was that direct or indirect to us? What's happening?

[2:11] Tau@xanthestar: <C> "As I -said- Sir, we - we're being caught in the crossfire. We're going to have to start firing in self-defense if theAzedi don't get back on-side!"

<Sara Desimone> *The rumbling and flickering however, get her fingers going again, backside against the table*

<Sam> "Well I feel like a Captain's place is at the table. I mean, we try for peace as well as we can," he shakes his head at the hit. "Wow the Endeavour is doing a good job at keeping us safe," he mutters

Quint@jorathedarnesse looks at Konie.
<Quint> "We fire on those Azed ships...Its over."

<Konieczko> "Inform your ships to act defensively at this time."

[2:12] Tau@xanthestar: <C> They're in a fire-fight with the unknown ships and some of our vessels are firing too. Our forces need direction on whether or not to intervene but either -

Isadora@CaoCaoPuff looks rather nonchalant
<Isadora> "Mmhmm, you know generally these talks are held on neutral ground for this exact reason." she gestures in general around her.

[2:12] Tau@xanthestar: way we need to get them out of the way of DS13."

<Lev bim Bozgid> "I agree with Captain Quint. We need to demonstrate that we are not their enemy."

Konieczko@DoABarrelRoll looks first to Quint and then Lev bim. He's weighing options on his face and trying to do so rapidly.

[2:13] Kermit@bobisgod171: ||| DS13 is again struck by Azedi fire. The impact feels less this time.

Alistair Nimitz@natthaan slowly sits down in a chair next to the fireplace, looking very sickly pale.

<Sara Desimone> "We're already firing on their attackers. If they do significant damage to a Federation ship with another 'stay' shot? I reccomend we delete them."

<Sam> "Have you dealt with the Azedi before? What's with them and our chairs?"

<Sara Desimone> *stray

<Quint> Admiral..This is our chance to show them we are trying to help. We can fully engage the agressors to protect our guests. LEgally.

[2:14] Konieczko@DoABarrelRoll: <C> Thiessen from Konieczko. Defend the Azedi.

<Isadora> "Huh? I don't remember seeing chairs at any of our meetings before. Maybe they're like the Jem'Hadar?"

Konieczko@DoABarrelRoll speaks into his combadge and nods.
<Konieczko> "Defend the Azedi."

<Sara Desimone> "We have been so doing."

Quint@jorathedarnesse nods and then taps his PADD,

[2:15] Sam@drcrippler: <C> DS13, this is the USS Endeavour. That beam went straight through our shields!

<Alistair Nimitz> "Last week a Wormhole opened up directly on one of the chairs onboard the Kassandra .."

Rosewood@fireshade321 looks at Konie and gives a small nod of approval before resuming his restless pacing.

<Lev bim Bozgid> "Thank you. I'm guessing your ships can handle eleven ships, but we can't afford war with the Confederacy."

Isadora@CaoCaoPuff pokes at her badge
<Isadora> "I wish they wouldn't mute me at times like this. Suppose I'd just get in the way though."

[2:16] Tau@xanthestar: <C> Sir the Azedi are damaging the station and our ships. I'll order it, but you need to know that.

[2:16] Tau@xanthestar: <C> THey don't seem to care too much about -us-. Thiessen out.

Sam@drcrippler glances at Nimitz. "Jeez, really? Poor chair," he looks to Isa.
<Sam> "You do know you can turn it off? I just directed it to my PADD

<Sadia Cynis> *nods at admiral's word and taps her wrist-comm* Cynis to Daramar, support the Starfleet vessels as best as able.

[2:17] Rose@turtles#8407: <C> DS13 Ops to Endeavour pull back into our shield perimeter for protection."

<Isadora> "Huh, oh they're just blocking any incoming comm attempts from me. Apparently I'm something of a backseat driver at times like this."

[2:17] Tau@xanthestar: <C> "This is Captain Thiessen of DS13 to all incoming vessels. Please retreat and leave our space. We cannot guarantee your safety in this encounter and do not want to see unnecessary destruction occu

[2:17] Tau@xanthestar: r. We ask that you withdraw."

<Isadora> "

[2:18] Sadia Cynis@gulremal: <C> IKS Daramar here, we are moving in to engage unknown attackers, I suggest we concentrate fire and start whittling them down.

Quint@jorathedarnesse looks at Konie.
<Quint> "Nothing like sitting the sidelinies."

[2:18] Sam@drcrippler: <C> Roger that DS13, moving into the sheild perimeter

Konieczko@DoABarrelRoll looks back at Quint.
<Konieczko> "Still behind a desk."

<Sam> "Oh, they have muted you? You can look at my PADD if you want," he hands her the PADD with the latest reports

[2:19] Fiona@falconecoose: <C> This is Captain Skye to Ops, I've ordered the MacAlpine to trace the warp signial of the new ships to cross refrence it with the information we have here. I belive they may be trying to help us.

<Quint> And people wonder why I avoid promotion.

<Sam> "So yeah. Chairs? Do they have a vendetta against our chairs? Is it their weakness? Shall we just fire chairs out of our torp tubes?"

Isadora@CaoCaoPuff peeks over at the PADD
<Isadora> "Mmmm, well they're still alive at least. I'll give them a talking to afterwards."

Lev bim Bozgid@cob450 walks behind the bar and starts making himself something strongly alcoholic.

Quint@jorathedarnesse leans against the table eyeing the data coming into his PADD. He's confident in his crew and his XO but...Still hates sitting the fight out.

Isadora@CaoCaoPuff still seems remarkably at ease
<Isadora> "So, think the bar is serving alcohol yet?"

Tylen@rebelfirestorm moves over toward the bar, letting out an annoyed sigh.

Lev bim Bozgid@cob450 looks at Tylen.

<Sadia Cynis> Daramar has engaged the unknown attackers - ships are nothing special, though we've never seen a design like this - at least from known sources.

<Lev bim Bozgid> "My job here is clearly done, but you and Starfleet have some fighting to attend to, so if anyone is going to serve you alcohol, it's not going to be me."

Lev bim Bozgid@cob450 motions towards the other bartenders, then takes a huge chug of his own drink.

<Tylen> "You would have a relevant point, were it possible to get to our ships."

Konieczko@DoABarrelRoll looks to Sadia.
<Konieczko> "Maybe we can get talks going again once the threat is taken care of then."

<Sam> "I hope so. A good drink would be great right now,"

<Lev bim Bozgid> "Starfleet types have a maddening tendancy to 'not give up' when faced with challenges, but I appreciate your honesty in giving up."

Lev bim Bozgid@cob450 pulls out a shot glass and a random bottle, fills it, and slides it across the bar to Tylen.

[2:25] Fiona@falconecoose: <C> This is Captain Skye to Ops, just recived confirmation from the MacAlpine that the warp trail of the new ships does indeed match the location the signal was sent to.

<Lev bim Bozgid> "That one's on me."

<Tylen> "Not giving up. Simply accepting the situation is out of my control until it is no longer out of my control."

<Sadia Cynis> I can't share your enthusiasm, admiral. These people look like paranoid types - well at least some of them, the ones holding the guns, at least.

Tylen@rebelfirestorm waves the glass away,
<Tylen> "I do not partake in alcohol, especially while on duty."

[2:26] Sam@drcrippler: <C> DS13 to Endeavour, shall we persue the UFOs that are going towards the Azedi?

Quint@jorathedarnesse nods.
<Quint> "I have this feeling they arent unused to conflict.

<Lev bim Bozgid> "Have it your way."

[2:26] Sam@drcrippler: *Endeavour to DS13

Lev bim Bozgid@cob450 takes the shot glass from in front of Tylen and slides it over to Nimitz instead.

<Lev bim Bozgid> "Don't ask what it is, I just grabbed whatever."

<Sadia Cynis> It might take more than just re-invitation. Not to mention the mini-flotilla of unknowns having an issue with the esteemed guests.

Alistair Nimitz@natthaan walks over to the bar and looks over the drink and sniffs it, debating about if he should drink it or not.

<Lev bim Bozgid> "It's green."

[2:27] Isadora@CaoCaoPuff: <C> Eminence here. Attackers have disengaged from the station holding area. Awaiting orders.

[2:28] Tau@xanthestar: <C> "All hands brace for impact."

Lev bim Bozgid@cob450 hears the announcement, then holds up a glass of his own.

<Lev bim Bozgid> "Cheers."

<Sara Desimone> *braces HARD for impact, crouching on the floor and putting her hands down*

Isadora@CaoCaoPuff sits back down

Rosewood@fireshade321 stops pacing and grabs the nearest chair.

[2:29] Kermit@bobisgod171: || An Azedi beam pierces starbase shields, strikes the thin dome-shaped arm, and continues on through the other side. One of the unknown ships is obliterated by the same blast.

Quint@jorathedarnesse puts a hand on the table to help hold himself balanced.

Konieczko@DoABarrelRoll grabs onto the edge of the table. Surely that's bolted.

Tylen@rebelfirestorm braces himself on the bar best he can.

[2:29] Kermit@bobisgod171: ||| Inside, shit explodes everywhere as several power conduits overload.

Lev bim Bozgid@cob450 downs his shot, tosses the glass over his shoulder, and grabs the bar just as the shock hits

<Sara Desimone> *yelps at the intense shockwave. She looks up at Konie, eyes furious* "-SIR-."

Alistair Nimitz@natthaan grabs the bar to keep himself upright, perhaps a tad too hard as his hand leaves an imprint.

<Sadia Cynis> *instinctively goes to a crouch as shaking begins, using hands ro stabilize herself*

Rosewood@fireshade321 snarls several curses through clenched teeth.

Isadora@CaoCaoPuff decides as she tumbles off the chair, that a fireplace was not at all a good idea.

<Quint> What they hell was that?

Konieczko@DoABarrelRoll goes down to his knee and pulls out his badge.

Sam@drcrippler whistles.
<Sam> "This is fun isn't..." he ducks as the lights explode.

Lev bim Bozgid@cob450 bottles of alcohol fly off the shelves behind him, and one lands on his head, knocking him out.

[2:30] Tau@xanthestar: <C> "Thiessen to Konieczko - that was the Azedi -again-. They're firing -through- us."

Sam@drcrippler moves and offers Isa a hand up

Alistair Nimitz@natthaan sets the undrank shot glass down on the bartop as he hops over to check on Lev

Isadora@CaoCaoPuff mutters from the floor
<Isadora> "Oh, yes. Fun. Hilarious. I'm going to find whoever suggested this location and do something unpleasant."

Quint@jorathedarnesse rides out the shockwave and ensuing bursts. He's rode out to many rough battles.

Isadora@CaoCaoPuff takes the offered hand, and pulls herself to her feet.

Tylen@rebelfirestorm clearly hadn't braced well enough as he tumbles over and smacks his head on the bar in an unfortunate accident.

[2:31] Konieczko@DoABarrelRoll: <C> Use the same tactic if necessary then.

<Isadora> "Mmm, come on. Let's see if everyone else survived that."

Alistair Nimitz@natthaan looks to Sadia
<Alistair Nimitz> "Check the Centurion."

<Sadia Cynis> Seems our guests are not interested in peace anymore...

Konieczko@DoABarrelRoll shakes his head.
<Konieczko> "I don't think we've salvaging these talks."

Sam@drcrippler looks at the fire and turns it off

Isadora@CaoCaoPuff walks up to the bar
<Isadora> "Right, everyone alive? Wounded?"

Quint@jorathedarnesse laughs a bit.
<Quint> "Well...We tried."

Alistair Nimitz@natthaan stands up and dusts himself off after checking that Lev is still breathing

<Sara Desimone> "Admiral - we need to kill the Confederates at this point."

Tylen@rebelfirestorm is knocked out cold!

<Sadia Cynis> *leans near the centurion to check his vitals*

<Rosewood> "I don't recommend shooting at them, Admiral. We can't sustain a war against them."

<Sara Desimone> *Gives Quint an astonished look as he, as well as so many other captains, keep laughing and quipping like it ain't no thing*

<Sadia Cynis> He's alive, but unconscious.

<Sara Desimone> "We -need- to protect the people on this installation!"

Sam@drcrippler finds the off button and turns it off. Environment first everyone!

<Alistair Nimitz> "Agreed.. if we start shooting the the Confederacy ships more of our ships will end up exactly like the Gainsbrough."

<Isadora> "Let's get the wounded to sickbay. That's about as useful as I'm going to get in this situation."

Alistair Nimitz@natthaan was agreeing with Rosewood

Sam@drcrippler moves to look at the rest of the group

<Sadia Cynis> I'd say he's low priority for medical attention.

<Rosewood> "An possibly the station too. We protect this station by NOT shooting at the Confederates."

<Isadora> "Right, but if something else explodes I doubt he's going to be avoiding it. Same goes for anyone else who's injured."

<Sam> "We could set up a small tirage station here?"

<Sara Desimone> "Horseshit, they're firing through this installation with impunity because they think they can get away with it."

<Isadora> "Mmm, good call. I'll go find a medkit. Usually one under the bar if I remember correctly."

Rosewood@fireshade321 points an angry finger at Sara.
<Rosewood> "Then we kill their targets!"

<Sadia Cynis> *nods to Isa* Be my guest.

<Sara Desimone> *stands up quickly, hair slightly mussed and expression intense* "We HAVE been!"

Konieczko@DoABarrelRoll stays hunkered down on one knee.
<Konieczko> "Captain Rosewood is exactly correct."

<Konieczko> "If we remove the threat to them they have nothing to fire at."

<Sara Desimone> "We've already destroyed several of the UFOs and they are still firing -through- us."

Sam@drcrippler clears the area around the bar, away from any explosive items.
<Sam> "Hey you, barman, give me some alcohol,"

<Alistair Nimitz> "Captain Desimone.. they can get away with it, we don't have the technology to fight the Azedi one on one."

<Rosewood> "And if they keep firing whe the hostiles are dead, THEN we shoot at them."

Konieczko@DoABarrelRoll points at Rosewood. The two eyed man shares Konie's thoughts.

<Quint> Best course we have at the moment.

<Sara Desimone> "This disregard for Federation lives is- " *she cuts herself off with a snarl and just clams up as she's overruled*

[2:37] Isadora@CaoCaoPuff: <C> "Eminence to station. The current situation is untenable. Requesting permission to clasify all targets as hostile."

Isadora@CaoCaoPuff rummages around under the bar and comes up with a medkit

<Sadia Cynis> *turns to admiral and other captains* It's all fine, but I can't guarantee my ship will not return fire at Azedi if the shoot at us, stray fire or no.

<Sam> "Let's get the injured over here," he calls out loudly and firmly

[2:39] Rose@turtles#8407: <C> Ops to sercurity begin evacatuion of decks 38 - 42, there are hull breaches.

<Isadora> "Mmm, wanna help me drag him over to the table Sam?" she points at Tylen

<Sadia Cynis> *grunts* Leave it to me.

Sam@drcrippler glances at Sadia.
<Sam> "She's got it. I'll get beardy here,"

<Sadia Cynis> *hauls the romulan like a sack of grain over her shoulder with one hand*

[2:40] Laro@thesophist: <C> Copy that!

[2:40] Konieczko@DoABarrelRoll: <C> Thiessen from Konieczko.

Isadora@CaoCaoPuff smiles faintly and looks around for anyone else who's unconscious or injured

Quint@jorathedarnesse loosk over to Nimitz,
<Quint> "On a side note..We can take their ships on..I'd just rather not make it worse. After our trip into thier space..Those ships are all bite..no Armor."

[2:40] Tau@xanthestar: <C> "Thiessen here.

<Sadia Cynis> Where do you want him, captain? *to Isa*

Sam@drcrippler vaults over the bar and tries to lift Lev up. Gives up and drags him out instead

<Sam> "I've...got...this...one..." he mutters

Isadora@CaoCaoPuff points near the table
<Isadora> "Just set him up there, away from any light or other bits that might explode or fall on him"

Alistair Nimitz@natthaan looks to Quint
<Alistair Nimitz> "Glass cannons or not, they still have the ability to cause serious damage before going down."

[2:42] Konieczko@DoABarrelRoll: <C> If you haven't yet, recall nearby fleet ships before they clip our communications.

[2:42] Rose@turtles#8407: <C> Ops To Endeavour and MacAlpine, withdraw.

[2:42] Sam@drcrippler: <C> Endeavour to MacAlpine, you guys got any better ideas that don't involve us getting blown up?

Isadora@CaoCaoPuff doesn't see anyone else injured
<Isadora> "Everyone elright here? No injured? Concussions? Speak up now."

<Sadia Cynis> *she moves over and puts Tyler under the table*

Quint@jorathedarnesse shrugs
<Quint> "They dont corner well either. THey just hit hard, thats something that can be overcome." HE loosk at Isadora and shakes his head

<Konieczko> "All good."

<Sara Desimone> "I'm fine, Isadora." *she says without looking up from the PADD, still typing info*

Alistair Nimitz@natthaan shakes his head at Sadia.

[2:43] Tau@xanthestar: <C> Roger Sir, we'll do that.

Sam@drcrippler looks up at Sadia.
<Sam> "Why did you...so...far..away?" Carries on dragging Lev

[2:43] Fiona@falconecoose: <C> Negative Endeavour. Orders from the captain to buy her as much time as we can. Ops thats a negative, unable to withdraw, line of withdrawl has been cut off.

Isadora@CaoCaoPuff shrugs
<Isadora> "Mmhmm." she moves over to the injured on the table

<Sadia Cynis> *chuckles* Lemme help you out.

Rosewood@fireshade321 waves a hand dimissively, indicating he is uninjured.

[2:44] Tau@xanthestar: <C> All hands brace for impact!

[2:44] Sam@drcrippler: <C> Endeavour to DS13. We can either assist the MacAlpine or withdraw. Orders?"

Konieczko@DoABarrelRoll braces!

<Sadia Cynis> *grabs Lev by his hands* Let's - *goes into crouch*

Quint@jorathedarnesse grabs hold again.

<Sara Desimone> *drops to the floor again, arms around her midsection and leaning forward*

Rosewood@fireshade321 drops to his knees and grabs the table again.

<Sam> "For fu..." dives under the bar

Isadora@CaoCaoPuff pulls Tylen under the table and before rolling under it herself.

Alistair Nimitz@natthaan grabs the chair.

Alistair Nimitz@natthaan realizes slightly too late that the chair isn't bolted down

Isadora@CaoCaoPuff looks over at Nimitz, but she's got her own problems at the moment

[2:46] Rose@turtles#8407: <C> DS13 to all Ships, return to station.

[2:46] Sam@drcrippler: <C> Roger that, Endeavour pulling back

Konieczko@DoABarrelRoll looks up wondering if the call to brace was unnecessary.

[2:48] Sadia Cynis@gulremal: <C> Daramar here, why are you falling back, you are making the station target for Azedi fire?!

[2:48] Kermit@bobisgod171: ||| The station rocks hard this time. Anyone who knows anything knows the hull's been breached in the core section.

[2:49] Kermit@bobisgod171: ||| Consoles and conduits explode throughout the station, and power fails on the upper decks for a few seconds before backups kick in.

Quint@jorathedarnesse glances at Konie
<Quint> "They need to hurry up and win that fight out there."

Konieczko@DoABarrelRoll nods swiftly, or is shaken all about by the impact.

<Sam> "Everyone alright?" he calls out, standing. "Going down with a ship is noble. Going down with the starbase is embarrassing," he mutters

Quint@jorathedarnesse rides that rumble out and shakes his head. Al next time I' say Im up for one of these..>Tell me to stay on my ship."

Rosewood@fireshade321 slowly gets to his feet.
<Rosewood> "Ye gods..."

Alistair Nimitz@natthaan picks himself up from the floor since the chair didn't keep him up, but is unhurt
<Alistair Nimitz> "Noted Emery.."

Isadora@CaoCaoPuff checks Tylen's vitals before peeking up to see if anyone new is on the floor.

<Sadia Cynis> *mutters, grabs the unconscious tellarite and hauls him over to safety below the table, close to Ty*

<Sadia Cynis> There.

<Sara Desimone> *Sara slaps her commbadge, looking directly at Konie as she does so. It's clear she's taking this very seriously*

Sam@drcrippler is about to help Sadia but is too slow.
<Sam> "Now you're showing off," he chuckles and looks around for more people to help

Isadora@CaoCaoPuff looks down at her new patient and gets to work with the medkit.

<Sadia Cynis> *shrugs apologetically to Sam* Sorry bout that, seems quicker. *checks the text feed on the wrist-comm*

[2:54] Rose@turtles#8407: <C> Ops To Sickbay, report.

<Sadia Cynis> Why are your ships falling back to the station?

Sam@drcrippler spots a security officer on the floor. Goes to check. Frowns.
<Sam> "Isa, we need urgent medical assistance here!"

[2:54] Sara Desimone@kipstermick: <C Desimone patched through Axiom> "Confederate vessels! If you inflict further damage to the starbase you will be classified as hostile! Fall back for now and let us handled these agressors."

<NPC> ||| SEVERAL MINUTES after the latest impact parts of the ceiling collapse onto the bar. Sparks catch and a small fire starts up, rapidly growing. A harsh klaxon sounds, followed by a repeated voice

<NPC> ||| claiming the fire suppression systems are offline.

Isadora@CaoCaoPuff calls out "If it's urgent don't move him. I'm coming over." she looks over
<Isadora> "Someone throw some uniforms on that."

<Sara Desimone> *The set in her jaw as she stares directly at the admiral makes it clear she's about ready to shit bricks for having violated a direct order*

<Sadia Cynis> You guys have manual fire extinguishers?

<NPC> ||| ANOTHER PIECE of debris falls closer to the entrance, near the console to the left of the entryway. A fire starts there as well.

<Sam> "He's bleeding rather badly," he points to the edge of the console. "Looks like he cracked his head open,"

<Sadia Cynis> We need to put this fire out!

Isadora@CaoCaoPuff leans over the downed officer
<Isadora> "I've got this."

Konieczko@DoABarrelRoll glares at Desimone but there's other things right now.

Sam@drcrippler steps back

Quint@jorathedarnesse moves around, using hsi jacket shel to try ansd smother parts of the fire

[2:57] Beles@HF_Mudd: <C> Ops, we got fires on Deck 39, fire suppression is offline.

<NPC> | Manual fire suppresion devices are located throughout the room.

Isadora@CaoCaoPuff takes off the dress jacket and hands it to Sam
<Isadora> "Here, try to beat out the flames. Uniforms are fire retardant after all."

<Isadora> "I'll be keeing the pants for now."

Konieczko@DoABarrelRoll raises his voice.
<Konieczko> "We need to leave the room. Get the unconscious and calmly evacuate. The fire won't burn through bulkheads."

[2:58] Rose@turtles#8407: <C> Acknowledged sercurity.

Rosewood@fireshade321 runs over to the nearest fire supression device and starts spraying it over the fire by the door

<Sara Desimone> "Yes sir." *she rises and looks aorund to see if she can help anyone along before making her own way toward the exit*

<Sam> "I'm a married man Isa, you're too late for that," he chuckles, putting out the fire around the console.

[2:58] Beles@HF_Mudd: <C> We've got it handled with portables for now, but... that's right, this way, quickly please.

Quint@jorathedarnesse comes back around having tossed hsi jacket aside. GLancing to see if anyone needs help carrying woudned.

[2:59] Beles@HF_Mudd: <C> *channel closed*

<NPC> ||| Both fires are extinguished.

<Sadia Cynis> *jump slides across the table, and grabs Lev*

Quint@jorathedarnesse loosk aroudn
<Quint> "Looks like the wounded are on the way out....Your turn sir.

<Sadia Cynis> I'll grab the fat one, someone take the pointy-ears.

<Quint> I got the Romulan.

[3:00] Tau@xanthestar: <C> Admiral, Azedi vessels have opened fire on the starbase. Maybe you can talk some sense into them. We're going to defend ourselves best we can.

Quint@jorathedarnesse hoist Tyler up in a firemans carry.

Konieczko@DoABarrelRoll shouts towards Isadora and Sam.
<Konieczko> "Evacuate the room."

<NPC> ||| THE ROOM is looking more and more unstable. Pieces of the roof are falling all over, now, and several additional small fires have sprung up.

Konieczko@DoABarrelRoll slowly and carefully makes his way towards the door.

<Sadia Cynis> *she looks at the remaining folks, carrying Lev*

Quint@jorathedarnesse stops long enough to whsitle at Sam and Isa
<Quint> "Now, folsk"

<Sadia Cynis> We gotta go!

<Sam> "Can we move him?" he says to Isa

Isadora@CaoCaoPuff frowns
<Isadora> "I don't want to move him, but I guess it's better than the alternative. Up we go." she loops her arms carefully under the officer's

Sam@drcrippler aids Isa

Quint@jorathedarnesse side stpes through
<Quint> "Excuse me," and sets Tyler back down off his shoulders.

Sam@drcrippler places the Security dude down

[3:03] Kermit@bobisgod171: ||| DS13 takes another heavy hit, that feels like a breach. Power cuts out again, for about six seconds. During that time, *another* hit shakes the station, before power returns.

Sam@drcrippler falls backward

Isadora@CaoCaoPuff offers Sam a hand
<Isadora> "Captain on the deck?"

<Rosewood> "Admiral, we either need to talk some sense into them, or blow them to kingdom come...."

<Sadia Cynis> *stumbles a bit but leans on the wall*

Konieczko@DoABarrelRoll rumbles back into the wall because there's nothing to steady himself on.
<Konieczko> "Make your ways to one of the starbase shelters. Wait until I give the word."

<Sam> "That's one all..." he stands but Isa can notice some blood on his white collar

Alistair Nimitz@natthaan looks to Quint
<Alistair Nimitz> "Suddenly I feel better about Herra and Trellain being off the station.."

<Sadia Cynis> Where's the nearest medbay?

Alistair Nimitz@natthaan makes his way to the shelter as ordered.

[3:05] Beles@HF_Mudd: <C> Ops, Chief Laro is down, needs emergency beamout!

<Sadia Cynis> Gotta tellarite to unload...

Quint@jorathedarnesse looks at Alistair and nods.
<Quint> "Dont blame ya."

<Konieczko> "There will be signage. Go that way." he points down the hall.

NPC@dandin384 jogs towards the group. His uniform is covered in some kind of dust or ash, and several small cuts cover his face.
<NPC> "Hey! HEY!. You all need to clear this section."

[3:06] Rose@turtles#8407: <C> Initating transport.

Isadora@CaoCaoPuff quips
<Isadora> "Sorry, all I could do on short notice. Let's get you and this one to sickbay."

<Alistair Nimitz> "Tell us something we don't know."

<Sam> "I don't need to go to sickbay..." he helps move the guy

Quint@jorathedarnesse picsk Tyler back up.
<Quint> "Come on man.." and now carries him with the group

Rosewood@fireshade321 looks like he's about to argue ith Konie for a moment, then silently follows the others.

Spoiler: RECOVERED EMBASSY DECK LOG -- 94840.2 BUFFER 3 -- SHUTTLE BAY EVACShow

NPC@dandin384 doesn't seem to mind that he's yelling at senior officers. Sara and Rosewood probably even reconginze him.

Isadora@CaoCaoPuff stops short as the officer comes up
<Isadora> "Slow down. What's going on."

Konieczko@DoABarrelRoll vacates the section and tries to make his way to the fleet administration offices.

<NPC> "Right now, people! The deck below is completely vented to space. Get to the lifts while they still operate."

<Rosewood> "Good gods..."

Alistair Nimitz@natthaan mutters something and looks to Rosewood
<Alistair Nimitz> "Grab the Admiral!"

<Sam> "There's your answer," he grunts, and then lifts the guy up onto his back. "Let's go, now!" he commands Isa

NPC@dandin384 looks to Isadora.
<NPC> "No time!" he charges past her to sweep for any more.

<Isadora> "Hey, that section is sealed off already. Get yourself out of here. That's an order."

<Sadia Cynis> I've got the ambassador.

Quint@jorathedarnesse dumps Tyler into the lift and does a last look around

Sam@drcrippler finally realises the blood in his shouder.
<Sam> "That's...not mine right?"

Alistair Nimitz@natthaan looks over Sam

<Isadora> "It is. And the second we get somewhere safe, I'm going to take a look at it."

<Sam> "Oh boy, not another set of dress whites ruined..."

[3:11] Quint@jorathedarnesse: <C> Victory to fleet...Declaring an emergency..We're out of the fight! Systems are off line."

[3:11] Rosewood@fireshade321: <C> Avalon to Victory, can you withdraw?

[3:12] Isadora@CaoCaoPuff: <C> Eminence here. We will cover your withdrawal. Please leave the combat area.

[3:12] Konieczko@DoABarrelRoll: <C> Thiessen from Konieczko. Paint me a picture of what's happening.

[3:12] Beles@HF_Mudd: <C> Operations, Deck 39 is... evacuated. Lock onto anyone you can, and beam them... Beles out.

Quint@jorathedarnesse loosk around as the lift goes and shakes his head.

[3:12] Rose@turtles#8407: <C> Sercurity be advised, transporters are heavily damaged.

[3:13] Tau@xanthestar: <C> "Admiral, we are going to begin evacuating DS13. We're at 51% hull and falling. We have Azedi firing on us in addition to the others. Rumor is the others weren't meaning to but transporters are da

[3:13] Quint@jorathedarnesse: <C> Barely...Limping out at vector 2-4-5.

[3:13] Tau@xanthestar: maged. I can't see a positive way out of this at this point. Looking at COmmander Davin's wormhole detonation plan very serieously."

<Isadora> "We need to get to a sickbay that's not already compromised and drop off the wounded. Afterwards we can take a sitrep."

[3:14] Caspius@lusipurr#2374: <C> Now hear this. Now hear this. All hands, proceed to designated evacuation stations.

<Konieczko> "Thiessen is talking about evacuating the station. We need to find an- Evacuation point."

[3:14] Caspius@lusipurr#2374: <C> This is not a drill. Now hear this. Now hear this. All hands, proceed... (message repeats)

<Alistair Nimitz> "Shuttlebay?"

Isadora@CaoCaoPuff sighs
<Isadora> "Or not. Evacuation it is then." she nods at Nimitz

<Konieczko> ((Let's go shuttlebay.))

Quint@jorathedarnesse hoists Tyler up again.
<Quint> "I'm slow..GO ahead Dimitri>'

<Rosewood> "We need a decent pilot per shuttle. I can fly one of them."

Konieczko@DoABarrelRoll nods to Quint and moves past.

<Alistair Nimitz> "I'll fly the other one."

<Konieczko> "There should be designated pilots here."

<Isadora> "There might still be evacuess on the way here, we shouldn't launch immediately."

Sam@drcrippler staggers out of the turbolift. Clearly not moving as fast as he did before. Sways a little

[3:17] Isadora@CaoCaoPuff: <C> "Eminence to Ockham, do you have propulsion?"

<Konieczko> "Fill to capacity until we have to leave."

Quint@jorathedarnesse bumps into Sam,
<Quint> "Lynn! Catch Sam get him on a shuttle."

Quint@jorathedarnesse is already packing a Rommmie over hsi shoudlers

Isadora@CaoCaoPuff lends Sam a shoulder
<Isadora> "Come on. Try to refuse and I'll hit you."

<Sam> "That's...two...one," he frowns

[3:19] Kermit@bobisgod171: ||| Amid evacuation alarms, DS13 takes another hard hit to the lower section.

[3:19] Sadia Cynis@gulremal: <C> Daramar to Starfleet ships, we are moving in to engage Azedi vessels. We have sent a distress call to any allied ships for assistance,

Quint@jorathedarnesse places Tyler into a shuttle
<Quint> "Anyone else for this one?" before climbing in and out fo scene

[3:20] Beylara Ailes@dryadae: <c> *static*

[3:20] Fiona@falconecoose: <FX> A transmission is sent from within DS13, as they attempt to contact the UFO's

[3:21] Sam@drcrippler: <C> Endeavour to Fleet. Our Impulse drive took a direct hit

<Sadia Cynis> *helps load Lev into the shuttle*

<Isadora> "Pack in as many as you can." she motions to Sam "You're up tough guy."

Konieczko@DoABarrelRoll climbs safely into a shuttle.

[3:21] Alistair Nimitz@natthaan: <C> Akagi to Endeavour, we'll tow you away from the fight

[3:21] Fiona@falconecoose: <C> This is Captain Fiona Skye, aboard the station you are fighting around. I am attempting to contact the creators, I have been informed you did not wish to fight us and only to combat the Azedi.>

Alistair Nimitz@natthaan gets into the Admiral's shuttle

[3:21] Fiona@falconecoose: <C> > Please respond.

<Sam> "I can still fight..." he says but gets into the shuttle anyway

Isadora@CaoCaoPuff climbs into the next shuttle and looks around for anyone else coming into the bay

<Sadia Cynis> *boards the shuttle*

Rosewood@fireshade321 stends by the second shuttle door, waiting for it to fill before climing into it himself.

[3:23] Fiona@falconecoose: <C> I have been provided this channel with the consent of your operative aboard the station.

Rellir@universal_blue points down to the shuttles!

Beles@HF_Mudd plays traffic cop at the end of the world.

<Beles> "This way please, keep moving."

Isadora@CaoCaoPuff waves the newcomers over

Rellir@universal_blue is headed to a Kestryl Runabout!

Isadora@CaoCaoPuff motions at Beles
<Isadora> "Hey! Did you see anyone else coming up here?"

Beles@HF_Mudd answers simply, eyes haunted,
<Beles> "Yes."

Isadora@CaoCaoPuff narrows her eyes and speaks slightly slower
<Isadora> "Is there anyone else on their way here?"

Beles@HF_Mudd is guiding a few stragglers, who've just boarded another shuttle.

Beles@HF_Mudd looks back.

<Beles> "I... I don't think so."

Rosewood@fireshade321 waves the Lieutenant over.
<Rosewood> "Get yourself aboard."

Beles@HF_Mudd looks back once more, to be sure she isn't leaving anyone else behind, before doing as she's told.

Rosewood@fireshade321 looks at Isa.
<Rosewood> "Captain?"

Beles@HF_Mudd climbs aboard the shuttle and finds a corner to make herself very small in.

[3:29] Kermit@bobisgod171: ||| Starbase takes another hit to the upper section.

Isadora@CaoCaoPuff pauses for a moment and waits, but decides to climb into the shuttle

<Sadia Cynis> We gotta go!

Sam@drcrippler would have been v. annoyed is Isa failed to get in the shuttle. She was winning!

<Isadora> "Right, let's start up the engines. Use the sensors to locate any lifesigns and try to beam them aboard while we're in range."

<Rosewood> "Aye, good thinking." He climbs into the pilot seat and starts activating the systems.

[3:32] Rellir@universal_blue: <C> Khre'Riov to Romulan Detachment. Assist with evacuation of Deep Space 13. Do not engage hostiles.

[3:32] Sam@drcrippler: <C> Endeavour to Akagi, spare some engineers? We can try to get this impulse dive online...

<NPC> ||| FOUR shuttles and one Romulan runabout are rapidly filled with civilians and officers.

[3:32] Alistair Nimitz@natthaan: <C> We'll try and get a few engineers over as soon as we can, it's still a mess out here.

[3:33] Andrej Timoreev@chrisdubois: <C>This is the Attar, we're ready to engage targets.

<NPC> ||| The first shuttle of NPC's powers up and darts for the hanger doors, streaking off into space.

Rosewood@fireshade321 closes the shuttle door once the craft is at max emergecy capacity.

[3:33] Beles@HF_Mudd: <C-Taela> Vauthil, as ordered.

<NPC> ||| The second follows, but vanishes in a massive beam of light from one of the Azedi warships exchanging fire.

[3:34] Sam@drcrippler: <C> Roger that, we're seperating out saucer, we're still not out of this fight yet. Reploying the USS Bark

[Emotes] Konieczko@DoABarrelRoll: rolls 23 (1-100)

<Rellir> (Llair engages cloak!)

[3:35] Alex@S.J.Brex: <C> Dallas on station, ready to assist.

<NPC> ||| Koni's shuttle is dinged by a huge support beam on the way out, and the knock off course pushes it...

<NPC> ||| Out of the way of another Azedi beam. The shuttle pilot darts between the action at maximum speed.

[3:35] Rosewood@fireshade321: <C> Avalon to Attar, this is Commander Mirelle. Boy are we glad to see you!

[3:36] Draz@HF_Mudd: <FX> Saraswati emerges from the transwarp gate and goes to half impulse to get out of the way of (1) anyone shooting at them and (2) anyone else coming through.

[Emotes] Rellir@universal_blue: rolls 8 (1-100)

[3:37] Andrej Timoreev@chrisdubois: <C>Attar to Avalon. Sorry for being late Commander. What's your status?

[3:37] Rianni@crystyll: <C> Valley Forge to DS13. We are moving to assist the fleet, but detect multple escape pods around the station. Do you want priority given to recovery?

[3:37] Rosewood@fireshade321: <C> Avalon fully combat capable, sir. The starbase is being evacuated

<NPC> ||| The cloak on the Romulan shuttle shimmers on, then promptly shuts off. It must of been mid-repair when it was taken. The runabout is glanced by weapons fire, and two of the occupants are killed

<NPC> when a conduit overloads.

[Emotes] Isadora@CaoCaoPuff: rolls 80 (1-100)

[3:38] Rellir@universal_blue: <C> D'Ishae! Llair coming in hot! We've taken damage!

[3:38] Alex@S.J.Brex: <C> Do you have the evacuations status, Commander?

[3:38] Fiona@falconecoose: <C> This is the MacAlpine what is the status of the evacuation...don't know how much longer we can keep this up...got hull breaches on multiple decks and shields failing."

[3:38] Rose@turtles#8407: <C> Ops to Valley Forge priorities recovery, prepare for heavy wounded.

[3:39] Alex@S.J.Brex: <C> MacAlpine, moving to assist.

[3:39] Davin@arkaik353: <C> D'Ishae to Llair, doors are open. Confirm when you're aboard and make for the bridge.

[3:39] Rianni@crystyll: <C> Acknowledged DS13. Moving to protect and recover

[3:39] Rosewood@fireshade321: <C> It's underway, that's all we know. We've been a bit busy...

[3:39] Andrej Timoreev@chrisdubois: <C>Roger. Than we should give priority to the protection of the escape pods and shuttles while the Dallas helps the MacAlpine

[3:39] Rellir@universal_blue: <C> Acknowledged. Confirm with DS13 if they need more transport for evacuees.

<NPC> ||| The final shuttle blasts out of the shuttle bay, scooting around intense combat in the local system. They follow behind the Romulan shuttle, which draws all the fire for them.

[3:40] Draz@HF_Mudd: <C> Saraswati moving to cover the evacuation.

[3:40] Davin@arkaik353: <C> D'Ishae to DS-13, we're on approach under cloak. If you're still breathing make for the docking ring.

[3:41] Isadora@CaoCaoPuff: <C> Lyn to Eminence. Disengage from the battle and priorititize evacuation of the station.

[3:43] Rosewood@fireshade321: <C> Rosewood to Avalon. Cover the ships picking up evacuees.

Isadora@CaoCaoPuff nods at RW
<Isadora> "We can try to dock with Avalon if you want. I doubt having me on the bridge is a priority right about now."

[3:44] Alex@S.J.Brex: <C> Attention shuttlecraft, our aft shields are down and all bays are enabled for recovery, combat landings are authorised.

Rosewood@fireshade321 seriously considers it for a second, then looks at the cramped evacuees. He shakes his head.
<Rosewood> "Nop. We need to get everyone to safety. That's our priority."

[3:47] Tau@xanthestar: <C> Thiessen to D'lshae. How far out are you?

[3:47] Andrej Timoreev@chrisdubois: <C>Attar to MacAlpine, status report

[3:48] Davin@arkaik353: <C> About three meters, Captain. We're on docking pad... three? Three. Engine's running.

[3:48] Tau@xanthestar: <C> "Hold for now, you'll have people incoming shortly. Thank you."

[3:49] Fiona@falconecoose: <C> This is Captain Skye, I have resumed command of the MacAlpine. We severe damage on multiple decks, damage to our engines and shields are almost gone. But we are not out of this fight yet.

[3:49] Davin@arkaik353: <C> Thank me when you're on board. D'Ishae out.

<Isadora> "Mmm, nowhere seems particularly safe right now. Let's drop the wounded off on my ship and take the shuttle back into the station and look for more survivors."

[3:50] Rianni@crystyll: <C-encrypted> Creators; I am aboard one of the Starfleet vessels. Please disengage, they misread your attempt and do not desire conflict. They are not your enemy"

Isadora@CaoCaoPuff smiles
<Isadora> "If.. you don't mind flying right back where we came from."

[3:51] Alex@S.J.Brex: MacAlpine, Dallas, we're ready to cover your retreat to the transwarp aperture.

Rosewood@fireshade321 nods and sets course for the Eminence.

[3:51] Andrej Timoreev@chrisdubois: <C>Attar to MacAlpine: do not risk your ship, captain. The Dallas and Avalon will cover you while you reduce your distance from the rear

[3:52] Kermit@bobisgod171: ||| A series of explosions rocks the station. Those are internal.
