Aye sir, course laid in, warp 4.
*the warp engines lit up with a blue tinge and the ship jumped to warp*
(OFF:Newman & Kewasomi)
Sir i'm reading a surge in nutrinoes dead ahead.
"After reviewing the current situation as a diplomat i would always suggest hail or words before battle. no matter what situation we are in. but as im not fully informed on the coalition i cannot give full specs on attack or not. but i will stay on the bridge to offer help in this time i am needed most"
OFF: can i be briefed about what i missed. the mission post didn't get me to full about the coalition.
Freeman watches as the Ares' torpedoes pummel the last bit of life out of the Coalition scoutship.
"Mr. Muise, organize repair teams. Commander Berik, assemble a boarding party."
"Commander Berik is accompanying you."
*Seeing that Captain Freeman was joining them he signalled to the transporter chief to energize*
I believe we are all here.
*looks over to Lt. Bain and to Kerwasomi*
Yup, go ahead chief
*They dematerialized and rematerialized at their desired location*
(((OFF: Whats goin on, where is everyone, mi other character (Kerwasomi) is waitin to leave.)))
**Newman materializes with the others**
What the ####. I was just astarting to get somewhere.
OFF: I need the ship CO's status report, thank you.)
Captain Freeman, the Ares is to set a course for Romulan Coalition space and collect as much tactical data as possible on Coalition movements and technology. You are to keep a low profile. Report back to DS12 after gaining significant data.
*The First Officer steps off the platform out of the turbolift*
So, did I miss anything? I was in my quarters doing some reading and I lost track of time.
(OFF: Is anyone but Berik and I here?)
"Source?"
Mr. Silok welcome, you may setup a station on the bridge if you wish or go to your new office.
Oh, do you have any suggestions on the present trouble at hand?
Im transferring powere to that portion of the shields.
(so wut should i do??)
Freeman arrives in TR3 just as Berik, Bain, and Kerwasomi were getting on the pad. He grabs a hand phaser from the wall rack and joins the group on the pad.
(OFF: We are already on the Romulan ship.)
"Alright, lets see what we can find. Berik, you and Newman head to Engineering, Kerwasomi and I will go to the bridge and see what we can get there."
=/\= Anything you can use to download the ships data-- wait a second, standby... =/\=
Freeman walks over to a panel that is blinking and beeping loudly. He checks the panel to find a distress signal sent to Coalition HQ.
"My god! Freeman to Ares, beam the away team back, immediately!"
"Set course for DS12, maximum warp!"
"Yes, Admiral."
"Lieutenant Quannun, prepare to undock. Mr. Walker, keep the ship on tactical alert. Ms. Newman, keep sensors looking for Coalition ships."
I have briefly read it yes.
*moves to the first officer seat*
This looks comfortable enough.
*steps off the turbolift*
*takes his position, relievieving an ensign that was working the late shift*
Sir, may I suggest we get out of sensor range to reduce the chances of getting spotted?
I have detected a nebula not 2LY away that could mask our signatures. From this distance we can still get reading s from those vessels.
"Arming and loading Forward Torpedo Tubes."
"Forward Phaser Banks armed and ready."
OFF1: We're moving this weekend, so I probably won't be able to post until Monday. 
OFF2: I almost forgot to say something. :biggrin:
(Edited by James Walker at 12:35 am on Jan. 31, 2004)
"Ok, then i will offer my counsel. i am sure i will think of a logical response"
OFF: thanks.
(OFF: We need to wait for Berik and then you can beam over.)
**Rushes to the transprter pad and nods at Berik signiling her readiness**
(OFF: I'll leave Newman behind)
(Edited by Rachel Kerwasomi at 8:48 pm on Feb. 17, 2004)
*Lieutenant Quannun was sitting at the helm when the captain told him to take the bridge and he thought to himself*
"Captain Quannun, that sounds good!"
*realizing that it would be too far a dream into the future he accepted his command of the bridge*
*Takes the captain's chair*
Run sensor sweeps of the ship and also a level 4 diagnostic of all systems.
*Walks onto the Bridge*
"Ensign Wepps reporting as Engineering Assistant"
"Am I needed Sir?"
Sir, were approaching DS12. Visual range.
"Aye Captain."
James pressed a few buttons on his console.
Computer : We are at High Tactical Alert. All crewmembers remain at battle readiness. All holodecks are to be shutdown and the gym set to minimal use.
James brought the lights to normal, but left the klaxons flashing.
"Granted, Ms. Newman. Lieutenant, set course for Coalition space, warp 4."
"No, Commander. I assume you are briefed on our mission?"
OFF: Walker and Taylor here. Just haven't had anything to say.
Aye sir, dropping out of warp now, going to impulse engines.
adjusting course.
"Mr. Quannun, all ahead, full! Tactical, open fire, all weapons!"
"Diplomat Silok of Reporting."
"Believe me, Ambassador, that option was abandoned long ago..."
(OFF: The Coalition is a group of Romulans seperate from the Empire. They have repeatedly attacted Federation ships, and even took over Deep Space 12. About a month ago, we regained control of the station and evicted the Romulans. Our mission is to infiltrate Coalition space and gather intelligence on them.)
"Keep firing! Helm, initiate attack patters Omaha 3!"
Sir, Commander Walker was taken ill. Who do you want to lead this mission.
(alrighty)
On my way sir
(OFF: my other character is Terri NEwman, would u like me to take her)
"I think I need to be over there also. Lieutenant Quannun, you have the bridge."
(((are Newman and Kerwasomi both going)))
OFF: okay
Aye sir ***NEwman and Brik leave together***
***Looks around and locates a hatch that leads directly to enginneering***
=/\=Newman to Freeman, i'm in engineering.=/\=
**A few moments later they pop out on the bridge**
I never did like romulan decorating.
I'm taking the ship off of tactical readiness.
OFF: Hello! I'm Ensign Rachel Simpson. I'm your new security officer.
Yes Captain, and if you dont mind may i tinker with the long range sonsors. Before i arrived here i was participitating in a study on that subject. I may be able to increase efficiency by 5 maybe even 8%.
"I see. Coalition?"
"Coalition confirmed Sir."
"I'm also detecting a Ferengi Vessel inroute to the station."
OFF: The only Ferengi I know of in Expansion, is a character of mine. They deserve to be included.
"Their shields are down to only 83 percent, Captain. Lieutenant Bain, will you cover for me? I need to go take care of something."
(OFF: This is Karelia. I am posting this to excuse Commander Walker, as he seems to be taking quite a while to move into his new home.)
*Nods*
Yes sir
*gets up and points to the people he wanted for the away team*
OFF: whoever wants to go come with me.
*Berik stood there dumbstruck staring at the floor wondering what to do next and then he surprisingly arose*
Oh, sorry Ensign. You can come with me. Let's go down to transporter room 3.
Captain, will you notify anyone else who wishes to join our away team to report there. We will wait there until our team is large enough.
*standing at the science console not really doing anything his combadge hails him*
+/\+ On my way sir +/\+
*gathers his tricorder and scanning equipment and heads for the turbolift*
After you.
=/\= Acknowledged. =/\=
"Alright, lets try it out."
Freeman pops off the plate covering the access chute.
Right here
"Lieutenant Newman, please take the helm and initiate docking procedures with DS12."
Freeman thinks to himself: "I am NOT looking forward to telling Karelia about this..."
Aye sir, undocking sequence initiated.
=A= Attention, DS12 this is the USS Ares requestin clearance to undock. =A=
"Scanning."
"Sir, I'm picking up a station, in sector 215. There also appear to be two vessels docked."
"Ready weapons."
"Thank you, Ambassador."
Freeman turns toward Commander Walker.
"Status of the Coalition ship?"
**The eager young security officer follows closely behind the commander**
"Sure thing."
(OFF: Take another one of your characters if necessary.)
*Making his way to a urbolift and then the transporter room he taps his combadge *
+/\+ Lieutenant Bain report to transporter room 3 +/\+
"I highly doubt the turbolifts are functioning, so we had best find an access tunnel or something that leads to the bridge."
I believe i found something sir, this tunnel connects to a tunnel that leads to the bridge.
WHERE IS EVERYONE?

?
Docking procedures are initialized............. **ship shakes a bit**........sir we are docked,bring the warp cpre and engines offline.
=A= Request granted, good luck on your mission Ares =A=
"Alright, I think we are deep enough into Coalition territory for now. Bring us out of warp, Lieutenant. Mr. Walker, scan for Coalition signatures."
(OFF: Any kind of plot twist would be welcome now...)
"Make it so."
*nods and adjusts course *
Aye Sir full impulse!
Sir theres a breach forming on deck 12, attempting to seal **presses a few buttons** sealed barely. I cant garuntee how long i can hold it.
James all of a sudden got sick, and excused himself to his quarters.OFF1: That should help for now. Do a good job Rachel. 
OFF2: Are internet use was disrupted with the move, and it will be a bit before it's back up. I can basicly come on only during lunch at school. Right now is an exception. ):
(Edited by James Walker at 5:05 pm on Feb. 10, 2004)
(OFF: Well, I meant Berik, but if you want to, go ahead.)
OFF: If you want, I have both of my char. going
OFF: I'm appaled Rachel! How could you let Freeman go along!?!?!? LOL J/K

OFF2: See you again sometime. Still awaiting reconnection.
=/\=Sir, what am i looking for??=/\=
"Alright, until further notice, you are all on shore leave."
