: : : : : : : : : ''This isn't going well...Captain'' the counselor said as he pinched the bridge of his nose ''Darn Romulans'' he finished off,while wondering how long it would take for the ship to come under attack.

: : : The answer to that came seconds later as a series of disruptor hits came in along the shields

: : : : : : : : Atwood now sitting in the Captains chair rolling a green jellybean between his fingers said "Helm, come around toward that green goblin looking piece of space garbage now!Bob I want that noisy SOB knocked on his hindquarters at least. Just as soon as you can fire. " Having finished this Atwood tossed the jellybean in his mouth and waited.

: : : Firing the weapons found the warbird surprisingly weakened by return fire from other defending Prazen Prime ships the result was once again at least this time a disabled warbird limping off into cloak shimmer.

: : : : : : : The counselor was about to speak but when he saw the Captain tossing the jellybean into his mouth he simply took a deep breath and said nothing.

: : : : : : Seeing the Counselor watch him, Atwood remembered a not so sane character in a book he'd once read named Captain Queeg who was always playing with ball bearings. Atwood shook his head and smiling extended the bag of jellybeans to the Counselor and asked. "Jellybean Counselor?"

: : : : :
: : : : : He shook his head ''I cannot help thinking that you're one hell of a cool Captain..but may I remind you that right now the ship is on Red Alert''.
: : : : : McKay CNS.
: : : :
: : : : "I think we'll both be reminded of that shortly when we hit them or they hit us." Atwood said. "Hopefully the former ."

: : : The return fire from the two remaining warbirds suddenly sent the Viking hard to port, this caused the Captain's jelly beans to splay across the somewhat dirty floor and shatter the small dish they were kept in.
: : :
: : : Shields were now down to 63% as a result.

Sam was knocked hard against the Turbo-lift Doors as the Viking was struck.

: : The counselor for a moment stared at the spilled jelly beans then at Atwood ''Captain what are you waiting for....perhaps to give them enough time to reduce the ship to nothing but a puff of black smoke!''.
: : McKay CNS.
:
: "Well no shields only one thing to do. All ahead full at the nearest one and commence firing everything we have! In the mean time I want my shields back engineering! "
: Scowling down at the helmsman he said ,"As soon as we've fired everything we have take us as fast as you can to the other side of the planet . I really don't think engineering will get those shields back online that fast. And that should put something between us and another salvo for a bit."

Sam came stumbling onto the bridge, straightening herself she walked briskly over the Ops station, and leaning over the officers there she tapped out a few commands, Temporaraly diverting power from the Holo-decks and Replicators to shields.
"That should buy us a little time"
She said smiling a patting the Officer at Ops on the shoulder before turning to face Bill and walking towards him looking down at the spilt jelly beans and smash jar, she Smiled
"I thought after that last hit you might need these" she grin reaching into her pocket and pulling out a bag of Jelly Beans, and tossed it over to him as she continued to her seat next to him.
