::Works away at the systems of the Rixx with hordes of Atlantis reapair teams, and the Rixx's own engineers crew. Mumbles to himself at how much of a mess the cloaking device is; wondering how they getting it to work in the first place, let alone now after the extensive battle damage.::

NAV Lt Navarro 19-Aug-2020 21:35:00

XO: Aye aye. :: throttles up from their relative station-keeping with the prior storm, and begins to fly both ships down toward the bigger one ::

:: smiles, feeling safe again with their new position :: NAV: Nicely done.

CO Capt Harper 19-Aug-2020 21:38:56

ACTION> Rain, of some kind of liquid, can be seen vaporizing as it hits our shields. Lightning crackles in the distance and in the deep blue depths.

::nods:: HRH: You're welcome. ::takes a quick look over the queen's vitals while she's there, then turns to go find a spare medtech::

CO Capt Harper 19-Aug-2020 21:40:41

:: likes the view out the window, both aesthetically and tactically ::

NAV Lt Navarro 19-Aug-2020 21:41:58

:: sets up the autopilot to stay with this storm ::

MED Lt Acacia 19-Aug-2020 21:42:14

:: manages to calm herself down, but she still has a lot of work to do at the console, filling out reports and validating tests ::

SCI Lt Jude 19-Aug-2020 21:42:34

:: hmms to herself, and decides to take data on the storm ::

XO Cdr Kuari 19-Aug-2020 21:42:43

:: takes comfort in the storm, sighing and turning her attention back to her monitor ::

CSO Cdr Wright 19-Aug-2020 21:43:10

XO: ...Commander, what do you want me to do with the tractor beam in the event that we are located?

CO Capt Harper 19-Aug-2020 21:43:35

:: turns her gaze to the spot where Blackthorne's bar once stood and half-heartedly wishes it were still there ::

CSO Cdr Wright 19-Aug-2020 21:44:34

XO: I have a plan in place to evacuate the Rixx with transporters, but as I said, it'll take some time.

CMO Lt Tailor 19-Aug-2020 21:45:27

::takes a minute to hand off the padd to a passing lackey:: Medtech: please transfer the file on that padd to the bridge, attention Captain Harper. ::grabs an updated casualty list from another nurse and continues the fight::

CO Capt Harper 19-Aug-2020 21:47:13

ACTION> A particularly bright flash of lightning momentarily brightens the bridge lighting.

SCI Lt Jude 19-Aug-2020 21:47:26

Self: Ooh!

CSO Cdr Wright 19-Aug-2020 21:47:29

:: looks up at the main viewer, startled ::

MED Lt Acacia 19-Aug-2020 21:47:35

:: jumps, looking up as well ::

CEO LCdr Ilaihr 19-Aug-2020 21:48:10

::Disconnects the cloak from the diagnostic device he was using, and closes up the panelling. Lets out a deep exhale, as he works his way to his feet.:: rCEO: Thats as good as you're going to get it... ::Hobbles over to the Tellarite.:: Considering it was basically already cannabalised parts of Klingon and Romulan cloaking units; and I can promise you it was not working at it's maximum capacity or efficiency already; it is as repaired as it can be. I recommend an immediate replacement. Repairing a device can only do so much.

XO Cdr Kuari 19-Aug-2020 21:48:13

:: blinks at the bright flash, then realizes it was lightning that was close by ::

TAC2 Cpt Grey 19-Aug-2020 21:48:23

:: startles at the sudden flash of lightning, turning back to her console with a quiet hum ::

CMO Lt Tailor 19-Aug-2020 21:48:30

::snaps her head to the bridge feed as a bright flash lights up the screen::

NAV Lt Navarro 19-Aug-2020 21:48:39

Bridge: It missed us by many kilometers, no effect.

MED Lt Acacia 19-Aug-2020 21:48:50

:: bobs her head, going back to her work on the numerous reports ::

XO Cdr Kuari 19-Aug-2020 21:49:20

:: furrows her heavy eye ridges in thought :: CSO: Can we do so ahead of time? The safety of their crew is more important than the ship, if it can be abandoned in a hurry and the ship is stable enough.

CEO LCdr Ilaihr 19-Aug-2020 21:50:49

::Brushes himself down, then just wanders off.::

CSO Cdr Wright 19-Aug-2020 21:51:53

XO: I have signal locks on our away teams as well as all Rixx personnel, but it would greatly increase our chances of being detected.

CO Capt Harper 19-Aug-2020 21:52:00

:: gets the message from sickbay and sends it out to Lexy's console, then Picard-maneuvers and walks out onto the bridge ::

:: pauses by Lexy on the way to her chair :: CSO: I just sent over a message from the Queen to her first officer. Please send it to the Rixx via low-power comms.

CSO Cdr Wright 19-Aug-2020 21:54:34

:: looks up at Kate and nods :: CO: Right away, Captain. :: begins tapping at her console to relay the message ::

CO Capt Harper 19-Aug-2020 21:54:51

ACTION> The rain vaporizing as it hits our shields rises in intensity, forming a cloud above the two ships.

:: nods and walks to her seat, looking toward Kuari ::

TAC2 Cpt Grey 19-Aug-2020 21:56:10

:: is keeping track of the dreadnought, watching it for the slightest move towards their current position ::

XO Cdr Kuari 19-Aug-2020 21:56:46

:: nods, suspecting this even in their position as Harper enters :: CSO: And giving away our position isn't an option, unless we wish to abandon the Rixx, take the crew and flee through slipstream.

CO Capt Harper 19-Aug-2020 21:57:30

ACTION> The dreadnought enters warp again...

CSO Cdr Wright 19-Aug-2020 21:57:59

XO: ....I will see if I can get the transport time down any further, just in case.

CO Capt Harper 19-Aug-2020 21:58:26

CSO: Also, please get us an update on the status of the Rixx's cloaking device.

TAC2 Cpt Grey 19-Aug-2020 21:58:28

:: curses harshly :: CO: Dreadnought just entered warp again, Captain!

CO Capt Harper 19-Aug-2020 21:58:57

TAC2: Understood. Let me know where they exit warp.

MED Lt Acacia 19-Aug-2020 21:58:59

:: slows slightly, glancing up at the viewscreen ::

CSO Cdr Wright 19-Aug-2020 21:59:23

:: taps out another quick message asking about the cloaking device and marks it urgent just before sending it over to the Rixx ::

TAC2 Cpt Grey 19-Aug-2020 21:59:45

:: is trying to track the dreadnought, muttering curses the entire time under her breath as she works ::

CMO Lt Tailor 19-Aug-2020 22:00:43

::doesn't really have alot of time to worry about the dreadnought; is busy joining the fray around another crashing patient::

CO Capt Harper 19-Aug-2020 22:00:47

XO Cdr Kuari 19-Aug-2020 22:01:03

HRH Ashexana 19-Aug-2020 22:01:09

RCEO> :: still grumbling and cursing, and occasionally hitting the cloak with a spanner ::

CSO Cdr Wright 19-Aug-2020 22:01:18

CO: The Rixx's cloaking device is operational, Captain.

:: curses :: CO/XO: Dreadnought's in orbit around current planet!

CO Capt Harper 19-Aug-2020 22:02:59

:: looks to Kuari :: XO: It may be time to make our move.

XO Cdr Kuari 19-Aug-2020 22:03:34

:: gives Harper a worried glance and nods ::

CO Capt Harper 19-Aug-2020 22:03:58

CSO: Signal the Rixx to engage their cloak and extend it around Atlantis.

CO Capt Harper 19-Aug-2020 22:06:48

ACTION> And slowly, the cloaking field extends around Atlantis, shimmering us out of view!

MED Lt Acacia 19-Aug-2020 22:07:36

:: looks up, then back down at her console :: ~SCI: Nausea. Dread. Anger. You?~

TAC2 Cpt Grey 19-Aug-2020 22:08:21

~MED: More... annoyance for me.~

CO Capt Harper 19-Aug-2020 22:08:51

:: nods in satisfaction and appreciation of lots of jobs well-done ::

NAV: Zorro... when the dreadnought is on the opposite side of the planet, impulse engines until we hit vacuum, then warp speed. Any course.

:: lets out another surreptitious sigh of relief, the excitement of the situation and what they're actually doing being what one lives for ::

CO Capt Harper 19-Aug-2020 22:29:28

NAV: Take us to warp five, but no higher. :: knows what the tractor is rated for ::

NAV Lt Navarro 19-Aug-2020 22:29:45

CO: Warp five, aye. :: bumps up their speed ::

CO Capt Harper 19-Aug-2020 22:30:14

Bridge: At the risk of celebrating prematurely... it would appear that we are successful!

HRH Ashexana 19-Aug-2020 22:30:41

:: rings for Dr. Tailor again ::

XO Cdr Kuari 19-Aug-2020 22:31:00

:: grins widely, looking around at the bridge crew ::

CO Capt Harper 19-Aug-2020 22:31:12

Bridge: Well done, everyone!

MED Lt Acacia 19-Aug-2020 22:31:29

:: slowly uncurls her toes, not sure how relieved she is just yet ::

XO Cdr Kuari 19-Aug-2020 22:31:30

Bridge: Yes, well done!

TAC2 Cpt Grey 19-Aug-2020 22:31:59

:: sighs in relief, keeping an eye on the scanners she knew ::

XO Cdr Kuari 19-Aug-2020 22:32:59

:: shifts forward in her seat, pulling her body forward with her front paws along the floor as far as she can without leaving her seat, and stretches, realizing she has been tense for quite some time ::

CMO Lt Tailor 19-Aug-2020 22:33:37

::turns, hearing the comm. Gathers herself and goes back to the recovery room::

HRH Ashexana 19-Aug-2020 22:34:07

:: spares the pleasantries this time :: CMO: That was one of my people dying, wasn't it? :: her eyes beg the doctor to tell her otherwise ::

CO Capt Harper 19-Aug-2020 22:34:40

:: smiles over at Kuari :: XO: It always feels good to avoid a battle if possible.

CSO Cdr Wright 19-Aug-2020 22:34:43

:: isn't willing to celebrate until they are far, far away ::

MED Lt Acacia 19-Aug-2020 22:35:47

:: also finds herself quite tense at the mere thought, still wary. She glances at Wright, but quickly gets back to work. ::

CMO Lt Tailor 19-Aug-2020 22:36:20

::sighs and gives a nod:: HRH: I'm sorry to say it was. We did everything we could.

HRH Ashexana 19-Aug-2020 22:37:21

:: deflates once more, but then nods :: CMO: I'm sure that you did. Thank you, Velina... I felt us go to warp. Are we cloaked and safe?

CEO LCdr Ilaihr 19-Aug-2020 22:37:42

::Sighs, sensing the strain on the ship, but repairs and the increase in SIF and inertial dampeners are working; keeping the Rixx in a better state than the last short warp jump they made. Relaxes, the colour returning to his eyes, and the gem returning to normal. Looks around the the damaged engineering.:: Aloud: Good work everyone... now, there is still much to do. ::Nods at the rCEO, and wanders off again.::

CO Capt Harper 19-Aug-2020 22:37:58

CSO: Contact Commander Ilaihr, now that we can talk freely.

HRH Ashexana 19-Aug-2020 22:38:15

RCEO> :: begrudingly huffs a huff of thanks to Ilaihr ::

CMO Lt Tailor 19-Aug-2020 22:40:14

::does a quick bridge check:: HRH: Yes, we're cloaked now. That should mean that we're safe.

HRH Ashexana 19-Aug-2020 22:41:19

:: manages a smile, proud of Mr. Hadley and the rest of her remaining crew :: CMO: Thank you. How... how am I? I would like to get back to my ship since there is much to do.

Hadley> :: finally finishes all of the necessary tweaks, getting the system into a steady state from the bridge's perspective, and leans back in his chair with a sigh ::

CSO Cdr Wright 19-Aug-2020 22:42:25

+CEO+ Commander Ilaihr, Atlantis Bridge.

CMO Lt Tailor 19-Aug-2020 22:42:38

HRH: You've just had major surgery. I'd like to give it at least twenty-four hours recovery, since you've had abdominal injuries, especially.

CEO LCdr Ilaihr 19-Aug-2020 22:43:59

::Taps his badge.:: +CSO+: Come in, Commander Wright. ::Continues on, wandering down the corridors inspecting the greater extent of damage, now that he is no longer focused on the cloak.:: I may I be of assistance?

HRH Ashexana 19-Aug-2020 22:44:21

:: dips her head, closing her eyes, not used to not being in command, but ultimately concedes to the doctor's wisdom :: CMO: I yield to your judgement, Dr. Tailor.

CSO Cdr Wright 19-Aug-2020 22:44:38

:: looks back at the Captain, now that the communication line is open ::

CO Capt Harper 19-Aug-2020 22:45:07

+CEO+ Remarkable work over there, Commander Ilaihr!

HRH Ashexana 19-Aug-2020 22:45:39

:: and, ultimately, given the job they've done over the past day, she has to concede that her crew is fine without her ::

XO Cdr Kuari 19-Aug-2020 22:45:39

:: is still smiling, listening to the comm contentedly from her chair ::

CEO LCdr Ilaihr 19-Aug-2020 22:46:48

+CO+: We will need to get far from here, Captain. The cloak will fail again. The repairs are temporary at best, it simply sustained too much damage.

CMO Lt Tailor 19-Aug-2020 22:47:04

::nods:: HRH: I understand that you're eager to get back, but we need to make sure that you're well enough to be up and about. Your crew will take care of things until you're ready to go back to them.

CO Capt Harper 19-Aug-2020 22:47:14

+CEO+ Understood. Would you say that the tractor beam can be sustained at higher warp?

HRH Ashexana 19-Aug-2020 22:49:02

:: dips her head once more, slightly humbled by all of this :: CMO: They certainly have so far, with a little help from our friends.

CEO LCdr Ilaihr 19-Aug-2020 22:49:15

+CO+: The tractor beam may be, but I doubt the RIxx will. I dont think the you fully grasp the level of damage that was done here. :: Looks behind him, then back again.:: The Rixx will be in Drydock for the better part of the next year, if it's not decommissioned wholesale.

+CO+: If we need to go faster, I would recommend using Runabouts to provide SIF cover.

CMO Lt Tailor 19-Aug-2020 22:50:54

::nods, giving her a smile:: HRH: Get some rest, I'll send word that you'll be discharged tomorrow, provided your recovery goes as expected.

CO Capt Harper 19-Aug-2020 22:51:15

+CEO+ Queen Ashexana's too fond of that ship to let her go; I am confident we will see her again. As for the runabouts, that is an excellent idea!

CEO LCdr Ilaihr 19-Aug-2020 22:52:00

+CO+: At any rate, it will help alleviate strain from the taxed EPS grid.

HRH Ashexana 19-Aug-2020 22:52:00

CMO: Thank you. If I may have another PADD, I have some letters to write.

CO Capt Harper 19-Aug-2020 22:53:20

+CEO+ We will launch them shortly. If you wish to continue repairs, you are welcome to stay aboard the Rixx, but the transporters are available again.

CMO Lt Tailor 19-Aug-2020 22:53:42

HRH: Of course. ::goes to a cabinet and fishes out a couple of padds and hands them to Ashe::

CO Capt Harper 19-Aug-2020 22:53:44

:: glances over to Kuari when she mentions launching runabouts ::

CEO LCdr Ilaihr 19-Aug-2020 22:54:13

+CO+: There is much to be done captain. I will need to stay, to oversee the repairs. Unless I am needed on Atlantis.

HRH Ashexana 19-Aug-2020 22:54:43

CMO: Thank you, again... for everything. If I can ever return the favor, should you find yourself in Free Fleets territory, I will endeavor to do so.

XO Cdr Kuari 19-Aug-2020 22:55:03

:: glances back, then sends a message to the shuttlebays to prepare ::

CO Capt Harper 19-Aug-2020 22:55:36

+CEO+ Everything is in hip hop shape over here, so feel free to stay.

CEO LCdr Ilaihr 19-Aug-2020 22:56:04

::Chuckles.:: +CO+: I'm glad everything is musical.

CMO Lt Tailor 19-Aug-2020 22:56:21

::nods:: HRH: You're welcome, Ashe. I'll keep that in mind. ::turns to go to main sickbay again::

CO Capt Harper 19-Aug-2020 22:57:11

:: nothing about Ilaihr's reply seems odd to her, as the metaphor makes sense :: +CEO+ Indeed it is. The runabouts will launch shortly. Atlantis out.

NAV: Mr. Navarro... where are we going, anyway?

NAV Lt Navarro 19-Aug-2020 22:58:52

CO: Refuge, capitana. It was the only Free Fleets port we had on our charts. ETA 22.4 hours, present speed.

CO Capt Harper 19-Aug-2020 22:59:40

NAV: That will do, unless the Queen objects. I will pay her a visit to find out where she would like to go for repairs.

ACTION> Two runabouts launch from our aft shuttlebay and form up, reinforcing the Rixx's structural integrity fields.

MED Lt Acacia 19-Aug-2020 23:00:47

:: continues work on her reports, doing her best to remain calm ::

CMO Lt Tailor 19-Aug-2020 23:00:51

::goes to her office to prepare an updated casualty report for the Bridge, and sends it up::

CEO LCdr Ilaihr 19-Aug-2020 23:00:54

::Trots off down the corridor, noting the sound of energy fields pulsating through the ship.::
