Sinclair: ::she looked down at Motha:: How are you comin’ along? 

Motha: response 

Kvash: Just a thought. Bear in mind their technology is more advanced than ours. Maybe we can tease out an advance that makes them more vulnerable?

Sinclair: Th’ problem Lieutenant is tha’ we do no’ know enough aboot them. We skirmished wi’ there ships a century an’ a half ago. 

Motha: Response

Kvash: And we don't, begging everyone's pardon, want a fight. I know, I know, a Klingon not wanting a fight.

Felbri: I wasn't planning on starting one.

Nobody here wanted a fight. Kvash hoped that included the Lattice.

Motha: response

Kvash: Sometimes, the honorable thing to do is *not* rush into a fight you are not confident you can win.

Sinclair: ::she shook her head:: Forgive me Leuftenant, but if you are no’ confident you can win head tae head, tha’ just means you hev tae be more creative. 

Kvash: Of course. But I am not a typical Klingon.

Fighting was not her thing. 

Sinclair: Tha’s odd. Is tha’ th’ Icarus transmitting its ID to the other ship? Why wuid it do tha’?

Kvash: That's very strange...probably something creative.

The other thing Kvash definitely wasn't was a spook. And she betted something spooky was going on.

Motha: response

Sinclair: ::She pulled up the sensor reading of the signal to her screen.:: Tha’ mak’s naw sense. There’s got tae be a reason. There! It’s  steganography! A message is hidden underneath the carrier wave. Someone is telling us to blind the sensors of the other ship.

Kvash: So, what's the best way to do that?

Motha: response

Sinclair: What aboot a good auld fashioned smoke screen? Obviously not actual smoke, but you get th’ idea.

Felbri: Any ideas on how to do that?

Kvash: Hrm. I'm not...not regular bridge crew, but maybe we could do something with a particle burst?

Motha: response

Sinclair: What th’ ? The Icarus is sparking and firing into nothin’. Something is set wrong on tha’ ship. Th’ weird warp signature is back too.

Kvash: That's not good.

The ship was probably about to disappear with a good chunk of the crew on board.

Motha: response

S'Jenes: =/\= Icarus sickbay to Aleek-Om Bridge. Ensign S'Jenes. Prepare your cargo transporters to receive remote pattern locks from our Emergency Medical Transporter. Please refrain from energizing until I give the command. =/\=

Felbri: =/\= Got it. =/\= 

Kvash: =/\= I'll keep watching. =/\=

The science sensors were good for this...helping support the transporters.

Anyone on the Aleek-Om bridge: =/\=Respond=/\=

S'Jenes: =/\= We will relay each acquired transporter signature to your pattern buffer. Once every life sign—including my own—has been transferred, execute transport. Please confirm readiness. =/\=

Felbri: =/\= Ready. =/\=

Rendov watched the buffer pick up each of the signatures. 

Anyone on the Aleek-Om bridge: =/\= Respond =/\=

S'Jenes: =/\= Ensign S'Jenes to Aleek-Om Bridge. All unphased personnel have been successfully relayed to your cargo transporter. Pattern integrity is nominal. You are cleared to energize all stored patterns simultaneously. Following completion of the transport, acquire and beam my pattern directly to Cargo Bay One. =/\=

Felbri: =/\= It will be done. =/\=

Anyone on Aleek-Om Bridge: =/\= Respond=/\=

Felbri: ::to S'Jenes:: =/\= Who are these people Ensign S'Jenes? The children of the original crew? =/\=

S'Jenes: =/\= response =/\=

oO How is that possible? Oo

He'd have to figure it out later, right now the more pressing matter was the malfunctioning Icarus ship.

Felbri: It's like the Icarus' power has become unstable.

Kvash: He's going to blow.

She didn't need to be bridge crew to know that. Blow, drop into subspace, who knew. Either way...

Motha/Sinclair: response

Felbri: Response

Kvash: Unfortunate, but...

But possibly for the best.

Motha/Sinclair/Felbri: Response

Kvash: ...do we have everyone off?

Including the Icarus survivors, however they *had* survived.

Motha/Sinclair/Felbri: Response
