U.S.S. Ganymede  June 23, 1998

Kris:
The U.S.S. Ganymede is at Warp 2 approaching Federation outpost Diva.  This outpost is on the Federation border of the Romulan neutral zone.

Kris:
An unusual signal has been detected emanating from the neutral zone and the Ganymede has been ordered to investigate.  Possibly causing a rift in the space-time continuum, this signal is also interfering with Divan communications...

Kris:
...which ceased several hours ago.

Kris:
The Federation is on the brink of establishing a new treaty with the Romulans and has elected to send only the Ganymede to handle this investigation, rather than dispatch a fleet that might cause unwanted attention and undue alarm.

Kris:
Penetration of the neutral zone may be necessary, particularly if the Romulans have violated the Neutral Zone Treaty.  Captain's discretion is warranted.

CO_Grolim:
@::enters the brig, and pulls Paladin up by an arm::  You, come; we should discuss the situation.

Ragnarok:
@*Grolim* Should I test attack vector mode ?

CSO_Paldn:
@::comes along, and removes rank::

CTO_Cain:
XO: Sir, we do have a weapons lock on one of the ships.

XO_Louis:
Vid: Try to hail them.

XO_Louis:
Cain: Very good, hold your station.

CO_Grolim:
@*Rag* No.  I need you here.  Leave your vessel in your second's command, and join me.  Retreat, for the moment, is our intent.

CMO_Wells:
thinks: Oh wonderful..........

CNS_Warke:
@Wells:we appear to be prisoners of the romulans

FCO_VID:
XO:Aye Sir:<COMM>:Romulan Vessels this is the USS Ganyemede please respond:

CEO_Tal:

Ragnarok:
@*Grolim*Very well , I shall leave Kannar in charge

Ragnarok:

CO_Grolim:

CSO_Paldn:
@::~~~Counselor can you hear me?~~~

Ragnarok:
@:::Beams ::

CMO_Wells:
@Warke: No kidding Consolr what gave you that idea, holseters he tricorder, and takes aseat::

CNS_Warke:
@~~~Paladin yes I can hear you~~~

CO_Olbrun:
::hears "dog" and grimaces::

FCO_VID:
XO: Sir communiocations established. Reponse?:

CTO_Cain:
::keeps weapons lock on ship::

CO_Grolim:
@::smiles sardonically at Rag::  So, we are in an interesting situation.

FCO_VID:
::DOG?::

CSO_Paldn:
@~~~we have been abducted, try yo form an escape plan, do not give them any info~~~

XO_Louis:
:: Sits in the chair ::

CO_Olbrun:
::she steps up:: Rhian, please open the channel.

CEO_Tal:
XO: Maybe the penetrated the shields with a TR beam that was in temporal flux.

CNS_Warke:
@~~~Yes sir~~~

Ragnarok:
@Grolim: I think they know not what new tools we have at our disposal

OPS_Rhian:
CAPT: Aye Sir, channel open

CO_Olbrun:
*grolim* This is Captain Olbrun of the USS Ganymede. Why have you taken our crew?

XO_Louis:
Tal: Work with Cain to find out how they did this, and try to get a lock on our people.

FCO_VID:
::thinks Romulan response most illogical::

CO_Grolim:
@Rag:  We wait.  Full security on the prisoners.

CSO_Paldn:
@::looking around, taking in details::

Ragnarok:
@Grolim: Of course

CNS_Warke:
@Wells:we've been told to formulate an escape plan

Ragnarok:
@::Swaggers back to the brig ::

CO_Grolim:
@*Olbrun*  We require safe passage from this area.  The prisoners are....... insurance, shall we say.

Ragnarok:
@:::Unholsters Disruptor ::

CO_Grolim:
@::smiles slightly::

CEO_Tal:
XO: Aye sir.

CMO_Wells:
:: sitting with her elbows on her knees, mumbling stuff about the castity of the romulan comnder's mother::   Warke:  was that an order from padedine?

CO_Olbrun:
::is rapidly losing her patience with this::*Grolim: It is unacceptable. Return our crew, and we can talk about safe passage.

CNS_Warke:
Wells:yes

CMO_Wells:
<@>

XO_Louis:
:: Safe passage... for what I wonder.::

Ragnarok:
@:::Sits with back against wall ::

CO_Grolim:
@::grins::  *Olbrun*  We hold the cards.  ::cuts comm and engages cloak::

CNS_Warke:
<@>

CO_Olbrun:
Tac: Track their tacheyon emissions from their cloak.

CSO_Paldn:
@::forming a mental map of the ship as he walks, noting computer ports::

OPS_Rhian:
CAPT:  We have lost the signal

CO_Olbrun:
Bridge: We can't lose track of them.

CMO_Wells:
@ wake: let's here your ideas....::get's up and begins looking around the cell::

CO_Olbrun:
::nods to rhian::

CTO_Cain:
Tal:  Since our sheilds were up, maybe the disruption we detected was resposible.

CO_Olbrun:
Tac: Track them.

CO_Olbrun:
Helm: Plot a course to follow them.

CTO_Cain:
Captain: Aye.  ::attempts to track emmisions::

CEO_Tal:
Cain: Good idea.

FCO_VID:
::scans Navigational signal from Romulan ship::

CNS_Warke:
@Wells:not sure yet how we'll escape

CO_Olbrun:
Louis: May I have a word with you? ::gestures to her ready room::

CO_Grolim:
@::orders a course back to the NZ::

OPS_Rhian:
CAPT:  We cannot pursue too closely, the temporal radiation will damage propulsion

CO_Olbrun:
Rhian: We have to make do. I'm not leaving my crew behind.

CMO_Wells:
@warke:  just keep thinking.....:: exaines every nook and crany::

CTO_Cain:
Tal:  If we can verify my theory, we may be able to beam them back the same way.

CEO_Tal:
Cain: They might be suspectable to a gravmetric pulse.

XO_Louis:
Captain: Aye :: Follows ::

OPS_Rhian:
CAPT: Understood

Ragnarok:
@*Grolim*_r_nIf you want we could porbably crush their ship with the wake of my craft

CO_Grolim:
@Rag:  Keep us moving out of here, and foil their efforts to follow.

CEO_Tal:
Cain: Maybe the we can cause there engines some problems.

CO_Olbrun:
::she goes into her ready room, waits until Louis is inside and the door is closed:: Robert: Looks like we need to review the chain of command, Robert.

CSO_Paldn:
@all: for now we wait for a moment to strike

OPS_Rhian:
Vid: I am transmitting the sensor data on the ship's wake...evade the dense spots as best you can

CNS_Warke:
Wells:good idea ::searches the cell::

XO_Louis:
Captain: ? ::Looks puzzled::

CTO_Cain:
Tal:  Its worth a try sir.

FCO_VID:
OPS:understood:

CSO_Paldn:
@::back in brig::

CO_Olbrun:
Louis: When I am on the bridge, it is not required that you field every question presented by the crew. That is why I am there.

CMO_Wells:
@::sighs::

FCO_VID:
::plots evasive action::

Ragnarok:
@:::Glares at Prisoners ::

XO_Louis:
:: Stands straigt up at attention ::

CO_Olbrun:
::there's a rolling boil of upset under her tone, but she keeps it subdued::

CNS_Warke:
@~~~what happened?~~~

XO_Louis:
Captain: Aye, understood.

CO_Olbrun:
Louis: Remember that. Dismissed.

CO_Olbrun:
::she exits her ready room and takes her seat again:: Rhian: Report. What is our status/

CSO_Paldn:
@::watching power supply of cell forcefield::

FCO_VID:
::evading dense spots::

CTO_Cain:
