Aboard the USS Olympia.
There was silence of the bridge for a long moment then Captain Smith spoke "Reply to Tanara. If we can get through this without putting our people at further risk I'd prefer it."
Crystal spoke up, she imagined that the Captain had all ready thought of this but she wanted to be sure. "If you responds again for beam out, transport them all to a secure location and have security and medical teams on standby."
Tag: Joel
Commander Huebner made the transmission.
Crystal looked at Jack, the Doctor seemed troubled.
"Are you all right?" She asked quietly.
Tag:Jack
"Did you get any information out of Tomork?"
Tag.
Crystal felt as if they were waiting for the next move in this 'game' to be played.
******************************************************
Aboard the IRW Erkana
Danath was still absent from the bridge, as far as Tanara knew he was in the engine room yelling at people and maybe worse. She knew that if she was caught absent from her post then she was in trouble, however, she would be in even more trouble if anyone realised that she had contacted the federation ship.
She took a deep breath steadying herself. Then rose to her feet and walked off the bridge. She drew her disruptor as soon as she was alone. She was hoping not to run into trouble but there would be at least one guard. She also carried a comm tag set to send the beam-out signal. That would be the only way she would survive this action.
Tanara had no family so her dishonour could not be used against them that was one small relief. She made it to the the holding cells. The were three prisoners present. At first she thought they were dead but then she saw that they were all breathing but very shallowly. She didn't know much about other races but she did not think any of them looked healthy.
She stunned the loan guard. He had no reason to suspect that she was up to anything and never saw it coming. She quickly lowered the forcefields trapping the prisoners and gathered them together. She pressed her comm tag.
This was it, her bridges were now burnt.

"Reply to Tanara. If we can get through this without putting our people at further risk I'd prefer it." Steven said.
Crystal spoke up, she imagined that the Captain had all ready thought of this but she wanted to be sure.
"If she responds again for beam out, transport them all to a secure location and have security and medical teams on standby."
"We should use cargo-bay two." David said, "It can be secured easily enough, and medical teams can set up while we're waiting."
"Yes .. Set it up." Crystal said.
Tan contacted Sick-bay and arranged for a team to move into cargo-bay two, then spoke to Helm.
"Have a course laid-in. make sure we can get out of here quick."
The young Navigation Officer nodded, setting up a course away from the Romulan vessel.
On board the Erkana, things were moving .. Tanara stunned the loan guard. He had no reason to suspect that she was up to anything, and never saw it coming. She quickly lowered the forcefields, waking the prisoners quickly, gathering them together, then pressed her comm tag ..
"Sir .. I'm getting a signal from the Romulan ship !" Tan said.
The Captain glanced at the view-screen, as if hoping to actually 'see' what was happening. Then nodded to Tan.
David tapped his Comm badge.
=^= Bridge to Transporter room one .. Do you have a lock on the transmission coming in ? =^=
=^= Positive lock Commander .. We can bring them over on your orders =^=
David looked at the Captain and his Exec' for confirmation. Getting it instantly ..
=^= Begin transport of all personnel direct to cargo-bay two =^=
For several seconds the Comm was silent, along with everyone on the Olympia's Bridge. Then news ...
=^= Transporter room one to Bridge .. We have them Sir =^=
"Helm ... Get us out of here !" Smith ordered.
The Olympia spun on her axis as she changed direction, then as she straightened her course, jumped to warp.
David wondered how long it would take the Erkana to realize what had happened and come in pursuit ...
He didn't have to wait long ..........

It seemed that the hostages and Tanara were now on board. Crystal turned to V'Sel,
"Initiate transport," There was no way that Crystal would leave that artefact behind where it would certainly fall into the hands of those who would use it to destroy stars. If she could save the artefact then that was brilliant; if not, well much as Crystal's inner scientist regretted it, the artefact would have to be destroyed.
The Olympia leapt to warp before V'Sel could reply to Crystal's order although the FO knew she had carried it out.
Then the first shots impacted against the Oly shaking her and all aboard her.

“I am fine Commander and you?”
Jack knew his behaviour had been erratic to say the least but to be honest at that moment in time he couldn’t have cared less. As soon as Jack heard that the people had been successfully transported to cargo bay two Jack ran from the bridge into the turbolift as fast as he could. He had no idea what condition the people would be in and the Romulans had already caused the death of one archaeologist he wasn’t going to let them make it more. As Jack made it to cargo bay two he saw one Romulan officer standing near three people who were laying on the floor. His medical staff were already scanning them as ran toward them.
“What have we got.” He asked loudly.
Mike Hall turned around as Jack approached he stood with a look of both fatigue and woory on his face. “We have two with minor injuries and a third who has massive internal damage he is going to require surgery”
Jack nodded as he tapped his comm. badge and said. “Crane to transporter room two to transport directly to sickbay.” Jack knelt next to the badly injured person and waited to be transported to sickbay he looked up at mike and said.
“You take over down here have Janet prep for surgery and meet me in sickbay.” Jack had just finished his sentence as he felt the familiar tug of a transporter grab his body. Seconds later Jack was in the familiar surroundings of sickbay, He looked up at two of his nurses who had rushed over and said. “Prep this man for surgery.” Jack stood up as the two nurses moved the man to a bio bed, he moved over to his office and quickly changed into his surgical scrubs. As he exited his office he saw Janet already in scrubs, Jack nodded at her as she set up the surgical equipment Xan Chang was in fairly bad shape but Jack was confident they had got to him in time to save him.
Jack and Janet began their work. Jack could feel the ship begin to shake as he worked he didn’t know if it was because of enemy fore or just evasive manuvers but if it didn’t stop soon Xan might die on the table. “Crane to bridge, I don’t know what is happening up there but I am in the middle of a rather delicate surgery and could do without the turbulence Crane out.”

"Maintain heading but return fire," Crystal ordered as the Olympia ceased her tremors.
"Crane to bridge, I don’t know what is happening up there but I am in the middle of a rather delicate surgery and could do without the turbulence Crane out."
Crystal smiled wryly wondering if he knew they were being fired on. she shrugged and looked at the navigator. "In the interests of Doctor Crane's surgery shall we try to avoid being hit?"
Lieutenant Grey nodded "Aye, sir"
"Status report," Crystal called settling back into her chair. "locate the nearest starfleet ship or outpost, if they're set on following us back we may need some back-up."

"Maintain heading but return fire."
David set the Aft phasers to automatic targeting. The Romulan ship began evasive maneuvers but the Olympia was getting through the shields.
"Status report." Crystal called settling back into her chair. "Locate the nearest star fleet ship or outpost, if they're set on following us back we may need some back-up."
David checked their location and plotted three possible headings. He wasn't sure any of the three was suitable as a bolt-hole, but the Olympia was in need of a 'Get out of Jail Free' card about now.
"Star base two zero four .. Star base one seven nine .. One federation star ship on the outer edge of our sensors." Tan said.
"One seven nine is a research facility." Crystal said, a frown forming.
"Two zero four is a secure storage station. Orbital. they will have defensive armaments ......" Tan suggested.
"Times ?" the Exec' asked.
"Twenty five minutes to the Ship ......" David said, re-checking his readings, "...... Almost forty to the base. But we can't tell what the ship is, it could be a cargo carrier for all we know !"
Crystal thought about the options for all of two seconds ..
"Helm ... Heading Star base two zero four .. Maximum warp."
David suddenly thought of something ..
"We're in a race Crystal. I'd suggest having Helm throw in random pitch and yaw maneuvers .. Not full evasive procedures, so not enough to slow us down, but just enough to keep them re-acquiring ?"
"Helm. Do as Commander Tan suggests !"
"Aye Ma'am." the duty Helm Officer said, throwing the Olympia into a series of slides and dips, but always holding her heading ..
It was a straight race to the finish now, and everyone knew that one lucky hit could see the Olympia blasted into pieces that would be measured on the microscopic scale ..........

Dr Jack Crane worked feverishly on the patient the ship seemed to stabilise now although every few seconds he could feel it make a sharp turn no doubt evasive manoeuvres he thought to himself. Jack with the assistance of Janet closed the incision on Xan’s chest, the internal damage was healed and as long as the Olympia wasn’t destroyed he would live.
Jack nodded to nurse Williams who walked over and began post operation treatment, Jack sighed as he walked toward his office his head was hung low as he walked through the open doors. As he sat down behind his desk he noticed a video message waiting to be played. Jack pushed the panel and the face of Captain Andrews a man Jack had met back in his time working as a civilian doctor, he worked in Starfleet medical.
“Lieutenant Commander Jack Crane you are herby promoted to the rank of Commander with all the responsibilities and privileges the rank hold Congratulations Jack I knew you could do it Andrews out.”
Jack sighed Andrews was never much for words, Jack wasn’t sure whether he was happy about his promotion or not he just felt tired. He did smile as he removed his black pip though he placed it on the desk as he thought ‘I have the perfect place to put you’
Jack pulled a PADD out of his desk draw one he had hoped he wouldn’t have had to use on his first mission, a death certificate. Jack filled on in for the Marine and one for the archaeologist team leader he made a copy in the ships computer and placed the filled out PADDs back in his drawer. Jack could still feel the ship moving at full speed perhaps faster than it should be moving. Jack let out a deep breath he hated filling out death certificates it was one part of his job he could do without.
Jack needed to do something to raise his spirits and he knew just what to do. He pulled out two blank PADDs from another draw and began to fill them in. They were official requests from the CMO to the first officer for the promotion of two of his staff Mike Hall and Janet Reilly. They had both earned it although promoting Janet was bitter sweet, and Jack had to do something to keep his mind off what was happening on the bridge he had to stop himself going up there several times. But he knew his place was here the people on the bridge were in their place as it should be.
He was sure after they had escaped the Romulans he would hear about what went down. Jack looked around his office and was glad he didn’t have a window out into space he didn’t want to imagine how close the warbird was.

While the USS Olympia was racing at its maxmum speed to Starbase 204, the Romulan ship closing in on them, slowly but surely. Their constant weapons fire wasn't helping matters either. Steve was going to call down to Engineering to see if they could get any more out of the engines, but then quickly came to the conclusion that they were already doing all that they could.
The Oly wasn't taking so many hits now, but all it takes is one lucky shot and they would be dead in the water. That thought didn't settle well with Steve. 'We WILL get back in one piece.' He thought to himself, focusing on the view of the Romulan ship that took up the viewscreen.
Getting out of his chair, he approad Joel, at the tactical station. "Commander, I want you to concentrate all phaser fire on the Romulan ship's propulsion system. Prepare torpedoes just in case, but only use those as a last resort. If we can stop them from chasing us, then we will be home and dry."
<Joel>
"Excellent Commander. Fire when ready." Steve commanded and he made his way back to the command area.

"Commander." the Captain said to Heubner, "I want you to concentrate all phaser fire on the Romulan ship's propulsion system. Prepare torpedoes just in case. But only use those as a last resort. If we can stop them from chasing us, then we will be home and dry."
Joel began to make the appropriate changes ..
~~~~~~~~~~
Less than five minutes later, Joel confirmed he could hit the Romulan vessel without the Olympia having to cease her maneuvers.
"Excellent Commander. Fire when ready." Smith ordered.
David watched the Romulan ship hit .. she almost evaded the phaser fire, but Joel had worked hard, and sent several volley's causing the ship to drop from warp ..
"David ... Contact the Star base." Steven said, watching the Romulan ship fall far behind them.
=^= Star base two zero four .. This is USS Olympia .. Requesting emergency approach =^=
=^= We have you on scanners Olympia .. Along with a Romulan vessel .. Do you require assistance ? =^=
David grinned wryly at the Captain before replying ..
=^= We did two zero four .. But not now .. Please allow direct approach and have docking facilities ready .. I'd suggest you keep an eye on that Romulan ship too =^=
=^= Direct approach approved Olympia ... And .. Welcome =^=
The Bridge staff seemed to sigh in relief that they were finally safe. David logged their approach to Star base two zero four and settled back to allow the automated systems to ensure their docking ..........

The Romulan ship had dropped out of warp and anyone who could spare an eye to look at a sensor screen could see her turning and limping away at half impulse as the Olympia came into dock. A knot of tension in Crystal's neck released as the docking clamps latched on. They had made it.
Crystal made a mental list of all the things she had to do chief of which was speaking to V'Sel about what had happened to the artefact and then she had to be involved in dealing which the Romulan defector and the other prisoners they had taken. For now though there was relative peace.
Captain Smith looked around the bridge
=/\=Attention all crew, this is the Captain. We are docked at starbase. Shoreleave is authorised=/\=
Crystal smiled to herself and then winced as she realised that she would be the one checking that the crew had disembarked safely and that the repairs to the ship were made. Still, a change was as good as a rest. The Captain had got out of his chair and was walking slowly off the bridge, Crystal scuttled after him. She dropped her voice, "I know you appreciate the suggestion, sir, but I think you ought to get yourself checked over again, you are looking awfully pale."
Steven flashed her a look that said he would keep his own counsel on the matter, Crystal doubted she looked any better though.
******************************************************
And that would be the end of the mission. Well done everyone. Please join the shore leave thread and have fun.
