All the big wigs were below decks trying to figure out what was going on in this sector of space that was tens of thousands of light years from home. An inexperienced ensign was look at the main screen wondering if he would still be alive when the Atlantis finally made it to ‘Friendly’ space either because of old age or danger.

It took him a moment to process the blinking light on his station… he looked about as he turned on the audio in the overhead bridge speakers. =^=To any ship, this is the… =^= an sound that resembled an explosion… =^= Dellfina, we are under attack by Stone Hand pirates… =^= another loud sound that resembled concussive force. =^=Put on more speed. If we can make the fighters chase us it will keep the damage down.... This is the Dellfina, we are under attack from Stone Hand pirates to any ship.=^=

The ensign knew that his was above his pay grade. =^=Bridge to the Captain.=^= He began.

Kelly strode onto the bridge hearing the comm call and took her seat. “Sit rep,” she asked the crew. She knew her bridge crew had as little info as her but she was not a micromanager. They would have the info to her as soon as they got to their stations.

“Skipper the message has some distortion but,” the comms officer replayed it for the entering bridge crew. =^=To any ship, this is the… =^= an sound that resembled an explosion… =^= Dellfina, we are under attack by Stone Hand pirates… =^= another loud sound that resembled concussive force. =^=Put on more speed. If we can make the fighters chase us it will keep the damage down.... This is the Dellfina, we are under attack from Stone Hand pirates to any ship.=^=

“Helm set a course for interception. Mr. Nash get me a reading on sensors about that ship being attacked and the ships attacking it. Mr. Mardusk I need to know what weapons we have and if they are usable since we sustained damage form the ellipse that brought us here. Mr. Drayke how fast can you get us to the origin of the distress signal. Dr prepare for possible casualties in the sick bay and work with Mr. Kingstone to see if you can give me any information about the species being attacked or attacking. Mr. Bordeaux go play with the orb and see what you can find out about the Stone Hand pirates.” On autopilot, Kelly’s hand instantly began to lift to her mouth almost imperceptibly until she realized she did not have coffee sitting next to her. It was also when she realized she had not had the CMO look at her hand. It was way too stiff not to have done something during the fight but right now was not a time to visit sick bay.

At warp 7 the ship was 48 minutes away.

At this point the ship was too far away to detect race nor were they able to detect the fighters at all. The could pick up what seemed to be a Freighter or Transport and a similarly sized ship that design resembled a Cruiser/Carrier fusion ship. Unaware of the identity of any of the names and classes of ships in the sector the crew had to take the subspace communications ‘word’ for it. What they could detect was three ships were powering up for warp from the vicinity of Base Five, including the cruiser from the Caste that interposed themselves between the Lorn Ambassador ship and the Atlantis… While highly powered, like most ships in this quadrant, the warp drives were not advanced and likely were not warp 7 capable.

“Acknowledged, Captain. I will run in a minute a wide short range scanner run for an initial identification of the species aboard.” He communicated to the Captain.

Kelly Bordeaux

“Running weapons and shield diagnostics now, Captain.” and he tapped the commands into the computer as well as activating the comms to all Security personnel. =/\= Security Teams Delta and Epsilon. Standby for possible boarding operations. =/\=

Weapons reported remarkably few issues. Hard points were unaffected and power conduits were relatively undamaged. Shields had more issues, but still were reporting 90% functional.

The problem with both was power, again less so with phasers and photon torpedoes, because they used less power to arm and deploy - phasers could be powered to 100% but not all batteries at all times… photon torpedoes were unaffected… the shield however used significant power and with the damage to the conduit on deck 5-7, the shields could only be powered to 70 or so percent.

Ashlynn had seen the fight and followed Kelly to the Bridge and stood directly next to the Captain “Hand please.” She said quietly, yet leaving no room for argument about what needed to happen. She had a tricorder in her hand and an osteogenerator in her pocket. She waited patiently for Kelly to comply with her simple directive.

Ashlynn you are a saint and I am promoting you, Kelly absently cross her body with her left hand waiting for a warm mug of wonderful to be placed there. A half second later Kelly snapped out of her processing mode and glanced up at her CMO. There was no coffee waiting but a tricorder.

Ah shoot, Kelly sighed. She did not need to be told that the CMO was not going to move until she completed her job. Kelly looked at her hand. The swelling, bruising, crooked middle finger, and stiffness in her fingers when she moved her hand that worsened as she flexed her fingers could only be one thing. “Can I tell you it is just a boxer’s fracture in the neck of the fourth metacarpal and you give me until we figure out the pirate thing before I come down to six bay,” Kelly asked.

“Or we can go to your ready room for a moment.” She said giving her the option to step off the bridge to be treated.

CMO

“How long is this going to take,” Kelly said moving her right hand towards Ashlynn. “You have until someone needs me,” she offered shifting the PaDD into her left hand looking at the reports coming in.

Kelly Bordeaux

“Well had you come to me immediately…not as long.” Ashlynn said as she ran the tricorder over the injury “You’re right , boxer’s fracture.” She said pulling out the osteoregenerator and ran it over the bones, watching them knit back together. The entire process only took a couple minutes. Ashlynn looked at Kelly “No boxing for at least 72 hours.” She said “If it is still hurting in a couple hours let me know and I’ll get you something for the pain.” She said “Otherwise…I’ll be in sickbay.”

CMO

“Wait,” she grabbed Ashlynn’s arm with her newly fixed hand. Smiling she looked up at the CMO. “You do good work and I am not sure that 72 hour thing is going to be feasible. Wanna leave a tricorder here just to be safe? We are encountering some pirates and I am not sure I can promise I am not going to have to deck someone.”

Kelly

Ash looked at Kelly “Seriously....what ever happened to talking your way out of things instead of automatically going to fistacuffs.”

“It’s called aggressive negotiations,” Kelly said back humorously. She had heard the term in a holo once and thought the comment was brilliant.

She said handing Kelly the tricorder “Let me know if you need a hand in fighting.” She said “I can at least be there to patch everyone up once the fight is over.” She said as she started to head off the bridge. It was little known that the CMO was an okay fighter. She had had her share of fist fights and bar room brawls in her career and life time, she simply preferred a more peaceful means to an end now.

CMO

OOC: What do the weapons and shield diagnostics show?

Mardusk, CoS

“Captain?” Asked to the skipper “Captain, my post is not working properly. I can’t use any scanner to investigate the ship’s crew. Can you acknowledge Mr. Mardusk?” Then he faced the CoS. It was weird, never has happened that scanners would blank out all of a sudden. Pressing buttons and checking that all system fail safe were working a doubt of some sort of disturbing signal being produced by the pirate ship, worried the young Officer.

Ensign Kai O. Kingstone - CSO

Before Kelly could respond one of Drayke’s team was at the console making adjustments. “I am not sure what happened ma’am. It’s probably just a diversion of power after all the repairs we have been doing,” she reported as she worked. After punching a few buttons the console came back on line.

“Mr Kingstone any idea who or how many are attacking that ship ,” Kelly asked.

The sensors are not malfunctioning. Specifics like race and concrete number how many individuals can not be detected from this range. The pirate fighters, might be too small to locate with scanners. However under further scans… energy blasts could be detected that were hitting the transports.

GM

Mardusk relayed the information to Kelly. “Captain. I recommend that we get in close enough to help protect the distress call, but keep the aggressors within the forward firing arc. And depending on the damage to the caller, we should consider sending Security and damage co trolls teams over upon arrival.”

Mardusk, CoS

“Mr Nash get my ship into position to provide knock that ship into next week if the situation calls for it,” Kelly informed her tactical officer.

SEAI walked over from the console she had been leaning over to see the results. “I concur with sending security teams, but we should make sure that they understand that situations like this have happened before, and that it may be a trap. We don’t want them falling asleep on the job and getting the away team kidnapped after all.”

SEAI (XO)

After 22, minutes came another report, from the transport. =^=We have critical engine damage… we already lost warp drive… we’ve been keeping the fighters on our aft quarter but we’re losing speed. Might not be able to ….=^= There was a large explosion sound. =^=That’s it… we are hand to hand, or we have to surrender.=^= The audio didn’t quite cut off before the captain said… =^=if we fight they might kill....

GM

Mardusk looked up from the console and said “Captain. Permission to lead the Boarding Party.” and then began sending commands to the security details.

Mardusk, CoS

“Permission granted and take the CMO with you to treat any injuries ,” Kelly snapped knowing the doc was not the type to back away from any situation that needed her. Ashlynn has seen her fair share of firefights and Mardusk would never let her get hurt or place her in a situation he knew she would be able to handle.

Standing up she looked at SEAI. “You have the bridge until I return with the away team,” she instructed.

captain Kelly Bordeaux

Just as the Captian got up to leave the com beeped =^= Captain this is Styxx. I’ve been monitoring the situation. I’m fully armoured up and I’ve got a squad of marines fully armoured. If you need us. I’m guessing you’re thinking of boarding that ship=^= River said over the com. She knew most captains would think of Security first, for an escort. However she hoped the Captain was different.

Lieut Styxx (MDCO)

Over the next fifteen minutes the comms had become quiet. As the scanning resolution increased it became clear that there was two ships, connected by multiple conduits loosely surrounded by a 24 fighter sized ships. The larger of the two was clearly some sort of cargo freighter type of ship they smaller more military vessel was shark like with a ship wide opening running the length of the ship that likely was a landing/launching bay for the fighters that were now scannable.

“Skipper, Two large ships are in front of us. A Cargo ship… and a Carrier?” He looked the scanners a bit confused “also there are 24 fighters and some are still stowed in what looks like a hangar bay.” Kai reported

“Furthermore I detect [GM INSERT TOTAL LIFE SIGNS AND SPECIES ABOARD THE SHIPS] life signs. Orders?” Asked the CSO

About a minute later there was an abrupt hail from the carrier ship. =^=Identify yourself and maintain your distance… or there will be consequences.=^=

GM

OOC: I might ask for the delay of my replies. With the whole bunch of stuff happenings to my life, I was broken and tired, so I needed time to get on. Well, hope to return pretty active soon.

Ensign Kai O. Kingstone - CSO

SEAI just calmly took a seat at the Captain’s chair. “This is Lieutenant Commander SEAI of the USS Atlantis speaking to whomever wishes to threaten a ship of the United Federation of Planets. It is requested that you cease your assault unless there is a very good reason for doing so. Otherwise said consequences may end up on your end.”

SEAI (XO)
