Hunter Matheson -> Gaither> ::steady on course::

NDak -> ::On the bridge, waiting::

NDak -> Issaha> ::Likewise::

Cptn Swain -> ))we're just pow-wowing on the bridge ))

Rhan K'hal -> :: already on the bridge, and glad to see the end of that area of space (hopefully once and for all); rather splayed out in one of the auxiliary console chairs while his relief does the button pushing ::

Cptn Corizon -> ::In the corner of the bridge, trying to be out of the way as much as possible::

Maryse Dubois -> ::Sitting at a console on the bridge.::

Hunter Matheson -> ::stirs in his bed, blinks and looks around:::

Cdr Miranda Hawthorne -> ::Cushy in her chair, glad they'd had a pleasant outcome and the two captured crewmen, one Starfleet, one Romulan, were back, mostly unharmed.::

Hunter Matheson -> ::takes a deep breath and throws his legs over the side, bringing him to a sit::

Hunter Matheson -> :and damn, he's got one hellova headache:::

Tandaris Admiran -> ::on the bridge, having been checked out in sickbay and had his arm treated::

Hunter Matheson -> Gaither> ::preparing to not hear what is said::

Cptn Swain -> ::Enters the bridge from the ready room, noting that most of the senior staff were now gathered, along with their guests, including Abronvonvich.::

William Chocox -> ::looks over at Swain::

Rhan K'hal -> :: tail swoop ::

Hunter Matheson -> ::blinks a few times, neck crack, and he feels better::

Cptn Swain -> Good, looks like we're all here. I'll keep this relatively brief. I've spoken with Command at Camelot and the Admiral has asked me to convey his personal thanks for our efforts to rescue his son and Arrain N'Dak.

Rhan K'hal -> :: sour face ::

William Chocox -> Good to hear.

Hunter Matheson -> ::wanders to the mirror, checking out the knot on his head::

Cptn Swain -> I know that this mission has not been an easy one, but you have continued to prove why were chosen for such dangerous mission, and I, for one, could not be more proud of you than I am now.

Rhan K'hal -> :: relaxes the sour face, throws in a tail loop-de-loop ::

Cptn Swain -> ::Straightens his uniform:: As I am sure you've figured out by now, we have, however lost the trail of the Jem'Hadar ship. We will be breaking off our pursuit and heading home to Camelot at best possible speed.

Cptn Swain -> Tandaris, I want your team to work with Arrain N'Dak on your efforts to develop a counter-measure if at possible.

William Chocox -> ::eyes widen a bit::

Tandaris Admiran -> ::nods::

Cdr Miranda Hawthorne -> ::Slight frown at the thought of letting the Jem'Hadar get away, though she knew the reasons why they wouldn't be pursuing.::

Rhan K'hal -> :: slow tail metronome ::

Cptn Swain -> Maryse, once we arrive at Camelot, they are beginning a full-scale evacuation of any remaining civilian personnel, as well as any remaining refugees. I suspect you will be asked to help coordinate those efforts.

William Chocox -> ::starts trying to think of counter measures::

Cptn Swain -> R'han and Ithene, I want you to work on some what-if scenarios of likely targets for the weapon.

Cptn Swain -> Captain Corizon has offered to assist either or both of your teams.

Rhan K'hal -> :: severe nod ::

Cptn Swain -> Questions?

Tandaris Admiran -> No, sir.

Rhan K'hal -> :: head shake and a tail swoop ::

Hunter Matheson -> Gaither> ::plotting course, including alternates if needed, to Camelot Station:::

Hunter Matheson -> Gaither> ::also checking for possible ambush areas on the way::

Maryse Dubois -> ::Likes the idea of returning to familiar territory, but doesn't like that they are leaving some things open.::

Cptn Swain -> ::Tandaris:: Is the cloak operational again?

Tandaris Admiran -> Yes.

William Chocox -> Which is good.

Cptn Swain -> Good. Bring the cloak back online. Helm, take us back to Camelot at best speed.

Cptn Swain -> ::Makes hand gesture:: Dismissed.

Hunter Matheson -> Gaither> Flank speed to Camelot Station, aye. Engaging now.

William Chocox -> ::goes to the turbolift::

Rhan K'hal -> :: swings his legs back under him, heads straight for the lift, leaving Ithene to follow at her leisure ::

Tandaris Admiran -> ::accompanies Chocox:: Coming, N'Dak?

NDak -> Issaha> ::Glances briefly to his elder brother, before nodding and following along::

Cptn Swain -> ::Makes his way over to Miranda::

Rhan K'hal -> :: holds the lift for the mass exodus ::

Cptn Swain -> Ithene> ::follows along::

Cdr Miranda Hawthorne -> Doctor, a moment. ::Waiting for the masses to leave.::

Maryse Dubois -> ::Watching the bridge empty out.::

Maryse Dubois -> ::Turns to Miranda and stands.::

Hunter Matheson -> ::turns to sit on the side of the bed, trying to remember the requisition form number for extra padding on ship's equipment:::

Rhan K'hal -> :: looks over the motley collection of individuals in the lift :: Nothing like a big badaboom to promote peace and harmony, eh?

William Chocox -> Yeah

Cptn Swain -> Abronvonvich> ::quietly exits with Corizon on a side lift::

NDak -> Issaha> ::Smiles:: I wanted to thank all of you too.

Cdr Miranda Hawthorne -> ::Once the lifts had departed, she spoke Quietly, to Maryse.:: I'd like a report on the health of the two captured officers. Be sure to scan them for foreign bodies -- trackers, biologicals or otherwise -- that sort of thing.

Tandaris Admiran -> YOu can thank us by helping us stop this. We have our work cut out for us.

NDak -> Issaha> If any of you ever happen to be on Romulus... ::he smirked:: ...look me up. I'll be sure to show you all the things that my brother never would.

Hunter Matheson -> ::muttering:: That'd be a... 748... Echo Romeo...

William Chocox -> Only counter measure I've come up with is to destroy it before it works.

Maryse Dubois -> ::Nods.:: Of course. Are they expecting a sickbay visit?

Hunter Matheson -> ::snorts:: Echo Romeo. Figures.

NDak -> Issaha> Not a bad idea... ::squints:: Lieutenant?

William Chocox -> That's me. Lieutenant Chocox at your service.

Rhan K'hal -> :: jaunty salute as the lift stops at deck four :: This is our stop. Good luck gentlemen. :: exits the lift and heads for Ithene's office ::

NDak -> Issaha> ::Nods::

Cptn Swain -> Ithene> ::Exits with the Cait::

Cptn Swain -> Ithene> ::waits till the TL door closes:: Normally I'd be worried for the Romulan... but something tells me he can hold his own with those two.

Cdr Miranda Hawthorne -> It is standard procedure. We technically have no jurisdiction over the Romulan crew, but as they are currently guests, I'm hoping they will cooperate.

Cdr Miranda Hawthorne -> ::She glanced to Swain.:: Perhaps you might assist with that.

Tandaris Admiran -> ::exits the TL into engineering:: Let's start by looking at the plans for the device and seeing if we can identify weak points.

Rhan K'hal -> His brother is the one with the long and large radiused stick up his bum. Competent though.

Maryse Dubois -> I hope so too. ::Smiles.:: I'll make the arrangements. Anything else?

NDak -> ::Glances to them:: Issaha will do as you ask him.

NDak -> He's a handful, but if you tell him I said to do it -- he'll do it.

Cptn Swain -> Romulans being helpful. I promise not to tell anyone, Errain.

Rhan K'hal -> :: enters Ithene's office, makes himself at home by stopping at the replicator first for a nice warm latte ::

Cptn Swain -> Ithene> He'd have to be. He's relatively young to be an Enarrain.

Cdr Miranda Hawthorne -> ::She nodded her thanks to Destorie.::

Maryse Dubois -> ::Nods.:: Very well. ::Goes to the lift.::

Cptn Swain -> And I will let the Lieutenant know it's just a precaution.

Cptn Swain -> I am sure, being Misha's son he'll understand.

Rhan K'hal -> :: settles onto the couch :: All the same, I'll be happy to have our guests back in their own places.

Cptn Swain -> Ithene> I'd imagine they'll feel the same.

Hunter Matheson -> Gaither> ::steady as she goes, all well so far::

Tandaris Admiran -> ::goes over to a worktable and throws up the schematics for the device::

Rhan K'hal -> So, if I was a Jem'Hadar in the middle of a civil war, where would I want to drop a subspace bomb?

NDak -> Issaha> ::Nods:: The Jem'Hadar don't have a lot of technical expertise, but the weapon was nearly finished when they started the raid anyway.

Cptn Swain -> Ithene> ::Settles in her chair:: Good question.

Cdr Miranda Hawthorne -> ::Turns back to Swain after Maryse had gone.::

William Chocox -> ::looks at the schematics:: What exactly are we looking at?

Rhan K'hal -> The wormhole always has to be on that list, even if they've got their own battles I think they'd be happy to see the last of us for a good long while.

Tandaris Admiran -> These are the schematics for the weapon.

Tandaris Admiran -> If we want to destroy it before it detonates, we should identify critical points we could sabotage or destroy, such as the power source, targeting system, field actuators, etc.

William Chocox -> Right.

Cptn Swain -> Ithene> ::Nods:: Along with Camelot.

NDak -> Issaha> ::Nods::

Maryse Dubois -> ::Enters sickbay after a short TL ride. She then enters her office and sends out a couple memos. The first is a formal request for Jr. and Issaha to report for exams. And the second is a less than formal request for all away team members to report for exams.::

Hunter Matheson -> Gaither> ::monitoring a constant navigational sweep:::

Rhan K'hal -> Close the wormhole, they could peck at Camelot in their own sweet time, so I'd rank Camelot lower on the list.

Tandaris Admiran -> Remember that this weapon was designed to destroy the wormhole. Not merely to collapse its entrance, as we can do with a few photo torpedoes, but to destroy its structure entirely.

NDak -> Issaha> At least this iteration anyway.

Tandaris Admiran -> ::skips over the possibly genocidal implications of this:: As such, it was designed with more protective measures than your typical weapon, since it had to withstand entry into the wormhole.

NDak -> Issaha> Well this iterations original version.

Rhan K'hal -> :: gets a beep and checks his PADD :: I swear, can't go on an away team mission anymore without needing a doctor's appointment afterward.

Maryse Dubois -> ((You know you like it.))

Hunter Matheson -> :::sitting on the edge of the bed, contemplating life, the universe, and everything:::

NDak -> Issaha> The Hundred... we made some additional modifications during development.

William Chocox -> Alright. What about just blowing up the ship it's on?

Rhan K'hal -> :: sends a confirmation back to Maryse in the way of "Yeah, yeah, yeah. I'll be there. Eventually." ::

NDak -> Issaha> Since not all of the Lloann... Federation parts were available.

William Chocox -> And what kind of modifications?

Tandaris Admiran -> "Blowing up" the weapon now that it has been assembled could lead to premature detonation.

Cptn Swain -> Ithene> ::smirks::

William Chocox -> Damn.

Hunter Matheson -> ::glances over to jiggle with the controls and raises the bed up a bit so he can swing his legs:::

Cptn Swain -> ::Miranda, now that they were mostly alone on the bridge:: They took that well.

Tandaris Admiran -> ::Issaha:: Could you update these schematics to account for your jury-rigging?

Rhan K'hal -> Anyway. Targets. What Hundred assets and locations would be nice and juicy to obliterate?

NDak -> Issaha> ::nods:: Ie.

Cdr Miranda Hawthorne -> You expected them to put up a fight? We are thrown into the fray far too often. It's more a relief that we're headed back to the relative safety of the station.

Cptn Swain -> Ithene> ::does a sort of shrug::

Cptn Swain -> ::Nods:: Hopefully when this is all over, I can convince someone to send us on sane mission.

Cptn Swain -> I wouldn't hold my breath.

Rhan K'hal -> +Corizon+ K'hal to Captain Corizon.

Cptn Swain -> Fleet is pulling all of resources back to Camelot and asked N'Dak to do the same...

Cptn Corizon -> +Rhan+ Corizon here.

Rhan K'hal -> +Corizon+ Ithene and I need to pluck at all that juicy Gamma Quadrant information you have in your head.

Cptn Corizon -> +Rhan+ I'll make my way down. Where are you at?

NDak -> Issaha> ::makes a number of changes::

Rhan K'hal -> +Corizon+ Ithene's office, deck 4, section 3.

Tandaris Admiran -> Interesting.

William Chocox -> ::watches the changes::

NDak -> Issaha> We had to completely reconfigure the guidance systems.

Cptn Swain -> TWO MINUTE WARNING

Tandaris Admiran -> These induction circuits ::points:: you added those to compensate for the increased power output of a Dominion generator?

Rhan K'hal -> :: grins at Ithene :: Think he ever visited the C-Sci office when he was CO?

Cdr Miranda Hawthorne -> ::She nodded.:: I assumed they would. It doesn't make much sense to order an evacuation and still have your remaining forces spread out. Did they give any indication of their next move after the last of the civilians are through the worm hole?

Cptn Swain -> ::He shook his head:: Nothing he was willing to tell me on the line.

Cptn Corizon -> Ithene> I've heard rumors.

Hunter Matheson -> ::checking out the equipment in the room:::

Rhan K'hal -> :: cocks an ear :: You'll have to fill me in at some point.
