<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<Resume Mission>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>

CTO_Ryan says:
::Standing at the tactical station monitoring the Orion vessel on long-range sensors::

CSO_Raal says:
::At science scanning the Orion ship::

Host AGM_Selan says:
ACTION: The Paula Greene enters into Klingon space at high warp, closing in on the Orion vessel.

Host XO_Amendoeira says:
::Sitting in the Big Chair, wondering where the CO went to::

CEO_Hull says:
::Standing by at the Engineering 1 console on the Bridge::

FCO_Baptiste says:
::Lying under a blanket in Sickbay ::

OPS_Owens says:
::Closes COM with Starfleet after requesting a support ship and the freighter's cargo manifest::

CTO_Ryan says:
::Switches to short-range sensors::

CNS_Richardson says:
::In her office::

CMO_Amendoeira says:
::In Sickbay working on her Bolian patients::

Host AGM_Selan says:
<Relief FCO> XO: ETA to Orion ship at this rate, Sir, is 4 minutes.

OPS_Owens says:
::Nods at the XO while tapping keys::  XO: Aye, Sir, working on that now.

FCO_Baptiste says:
::Wonders when he is going to get rid of this cold::

CTO_Ryan says:
::Attempts to lock targeting scanners on the Orion ship's engines::

Host XO_Amendoeira says:
FCO: What's the ETA to interception?

Host AGM_Selan says:
<Relief FCO> XO: Four minutes, Sir.

Host CO_Cromwell says:
::Arrives on the Bridge from the Head::

Host CO_Cromwell says:
XO: Status?

Host XO_Amendoeira says:
::Raises head and his body follows, as he moves to the XO's chair::

CNS_Richardson says:
::Finishes up her current appointment and sends the Ensign along his way::

Host XO_Amendoeira says:
CO: We're currently in pursuit, Sir, 4 minutes to intercept.

CSO_Raal says:
::Scans the Orion ship for life signs::

Host XO_Amendoeira says:
CO: The Klingon High Command has authorized our mission in Klingon Space.

Host CO_Cromwell says:
XO: Very well.  What are the results of our scans?

CTO_Ryan says:
CO: We are still too far out of range for a target lock::

CSO_Raal says:
CO/XO: Sirs, I'm detecting something.

CEO_Hull says:
XO: Technology Report of the Orions: They utilize Federation technology as a basis and build upon it with other alien and allies technologies, which in some cases surpass our current level

CSO_Raal says:
CO/XO: The Orion has come to a complete stop.  Two Bird of Prey K'vort class ships are firing on the Orions.

Host XO_Amendoeira says:
::Frowns:: CEO : Chief, that is not something I like to hear.

Host CO_Cromwell says:
All: I see we got some help.  Hail the Klingons.

Host XO_Amendoeira says:
CEO: By the way, welcome aboard.   Lieutenant Hull, right?

OPS_Owens says:
::Opens a hailing frequency:: CO: Channel open, Sir.

FCO_Baptiste says:
::Drinks down some Orange Juice::

CEO_Hull says:
XO: ::Shrugs his shoulders and smirks:: Sorry, Sir, that is what is in the databanks.  Ah, thank you, Sir, a pleasure to be aboard!

CSO_Raal says:
::Thinks: Like we need help against these Orion pirates::

FCO_Baptiste says:
::Lies back on the biobed::

Host CO_Cromwell says:
COM: Klingons: This is Captain Cromwell of the USS Paula Greene.  Thank you for your assistance.  I must ask you, though, not to destroy the Orion vessel.

CMO_Amendoeira says:
::Runs a scan along her patient then with a smile, helps him up::  You will do fine.  I will inform the Captain you are ready for him.

Host XO_Amendoeira says:
::Nods:: CEO: Now, I'm sure you can study those specifications and come up with anything to better protect us against their technology, right?  ::Smiles::

OPS_Owens says:
XO: Puzzling development Sir, all reports show that the Antares class freighter didn't have any recorded cargo.

CSO_Raal says:
::Double checks scans on the Orion for life signs::

CEO_Hull says:
XO: I have a few ideas, Commander.  My first thought is working on the shield harmonics.  I am making preparations now.

CNS_Richardson says:
::Checks her schedule and sees that she has no scheduled appointments for the next few hours::

Host XO_Amendoeira says:
::Turns to OPS:: OPS: What do you mean, no cargo? ::Frowns:: OPS : Let me take a look.  CEO: Sorry Chief, proceed with your modifications.

Host AGM_Selan says:
< I.K.S. V'nka > @ COM: U.S.S. Paula Greene: Acknowledged.  We have these fools under our control now.

Host XO_Amendoeira says:
::Walks over to OPS::

CMO_Amendoeira says:
*CO* Captain, per your request, our guests are ready for you.  Other than a bit of bruising, physically they are fine.

OPS_Owens says:
::Moves a little to the side in his chair to allow the XO in to see::

OPS_Owens says:
::Points::  XO: As the records state, no apparent cargo.

Host XO_Amendoeira says:
::Taps a few buttons and checks the manifest list.  After coming up empty, tries his clearance level to see if there is any classified info on this vessel::

CSO_Raal says:
::Can't get a fix on life signs::

Host AGM_Selan says:
<Relief FCO> CO: We're arriving at the Orion Ship's current position, Sir.

Host CO_Cromwell says:
FCO: All stop.

OPS_Owens says:
XO: Sir, still no word fro Starfleet Command on our requests for the Seleya's logs.

CEO_Hull says:
::Begins programming his console for the theorized modifications:: Self: Perhaps a little D'Vor technology and some Borg rotating shield frequencies, yeah!  ::Begins making the modifications to the shield generators::

Host CO_Cromwell says:
CSO: Scan the Orion vessel.

CSO_Raal says:
CO: Continuing scan.

Host XO_Amendoeira says:
OPS: Thank you, Lieutenant.

CNS_Richardson says:
::Decides to enjoy a little quiet time and leans back in her chair with a cup of tea, putting her feet up on her desk::

Host CO_Cromwell says:
*CMO* Thank you, Doctor, I'll be down shortly.

FCO_Baptiste says:
::Begins snoring softly ::

CMO_Amendoeira says:
::Helps the Bolians into her office and gets them a drink::  Gentleman, make yourself comfortable.  The Captain will be down shortly.

Host XO_Amendoeira says:
OPS: Seems there was really nothing on that freighter.  If that is the case, what did they beam aboard their ship, someone perhaps?

OPS_Owens says:
::Nods::  XO: I believe that would be the logical deduction.  Maybe there is some evidence in our sensor logs?

CSO_Raal says:
CO: All I read from the Orion ship is 45 Orions, no one else.

Host XO_Amendoeira says:
OPS: Get to it, Lieutenant. Check them and find out.  ::Walks towards the Captain::

CMO_Amendoeira says:
::Exiting her office hears a snore.  With a smile walks over to biobed 4::

Host CO_Cromwell says:
CSO: Any indication of cargo?

CSO_Raal says:
CO: Ship is severely damaged with most systems save life support down.

CSO_Raal says:
CO: Thirty Klingons have boarded.

FCO_Baptiste says:
::Snorts in his snore::

Host XO_Amendoeira says:
CO: Captain, the freighter they boarded was empty.  I have Lieutenant Owens trying to find out exactly what it is that they beamed from it.

Host CO_Cromwell says:
XO: Very good.

CSO_Raal says:
CO: No cargo on that Orion ship either.

Host CO_Cromwell says:
TAC: Hail the Klingons again.

OPS_Owens says:
::Wonders why he is checking the sensor logs, shrugs and pulls up the information in the databanks::

Host XO_Amendoeira says:
::Stands beside the Captain::

CTO_Ryan says:
CO: Channel open.

CMO_Amendoeira says:
::Checks the FCO's bio readings then lays her hand gently on his shoulder::  FCO: Jean Pierre?

FCO_Baptiste says:
::Rouses a bit:: CMO: Huh? Wassat?

OPS_Owens says:
::Begins to scan through the data line-by-line::

CMO_Amendoeira says:
FCO: Good morning, Sleeping Beauty.

CEO_Hull says:
XO: Sir, the Orions have been known to carry…err…smuggle high quantities of kemacite, a highly unstable and dangerous material.  It has been known to cause temporal phenomena.

CNS_Richardson says:
::Sips her tea, relaxing::

Host XO_Amendoeira says:
::Raises an eyebrow:: CEO: Elaborate, Mr. Hull.

Host CO_Cromwell says:
COM: Klingons: This is Captain Cromwell again.  We wanted to know what your boarding party discovered on the Orion vessel?  Also, it is time for us to take them into custody.

FCO_Baptiste says:
CMO: I am hardly a beauty, but when will I get this ringing out of my ears?

CMO_Amendoeira says:
::Chuckles::  FCO: Beauty is in the eye of the beholder.  ::Seriously::  What ringing do you hear?

CSO_Raal says:
::Monitors the Orion ship::

CEO_Hull says:
XO: If the Kemacite is exposed to any nuclear radiation, we could have any type of temporal incident; a loop, a pre-destination paradox, etc.  Dangerous, Sir.

FCO_Baptiste says:
CMO: It is like the whine of overheated bearings.

Host XO_Amendoeira says:
CSO: Mr. Raal, scan for any kemacite readings from the Orion ship and any radiation sources.

CSO_Raal says:
XO: Checking, Sir.

CMO_Amendoeira says:
Hmmm... ::Readjusts her med scanner and runs it along his head::

Host CO_Cromwell says:
::Waits for the Klingon response::

Host AGM_Selan says:
<I.K.S. V'nka> @ COM: PG: Acknowledged. We're securing these fools' vessel.

CSO_Raal says:
XO: Didn't have any kemacite on my initial scan.  Confirmed, no kemacite.

Host CO_Cromwell says:
TAC: Is the Brig ready?

Host XO_Amendoeira says:
::Nods:: CSO: Very well, keep your sensors active for that substance, anyway.

CMO_Amendoeira says:
FCO: Looks like there is a bit of congestion.  Be right back.

CSO_Raal says:
XO: Acknowledged, my sensors are always active.

OPS_Owens says:
::Hears the Klingon on the screen and wonders if there is some sort of collaboration.  They were headed into Klingon space and a ship seemed rather close at hand::

Host XO_Amendoeira says:
::Smiles::

CTO_Ryan says:
CO: Brig is ready, Sir.

CNS_Richardson says:
::Finishes her tea and stands up::

CSO_Raal says:
::Wonders what the Klingons are thinking::

Host CO_Cromwell says:
COM: Klingons: Thank you, we will be beaming the Orions to our ship momentarily and taking the Orion vessel in tow.  I shall report your honorable assistance to the Klingon High Council.

CNS_Richardson says:
::Exits her office and begins to make her way to the Bridge::

CMO_Amendoeira says:
::Returns::  FCO: If you will turn your head to the side, please.

FCO_Baptiste says:
::Turns his head to the side ::

OPS_Owens says:
::Wonders why this seems too easy and goes back to the sensor logs::

Host AGM_Selan says:
<I.K.S. V'nka> @::Hesitation as this was their win:: COM: PG: Understood, Paula Greene.  We will beam back our security teams once you have beamed over the Orions.

Host CO_Cromwell says:
TAC: Begin transport of the Orions, double the security, all phasers on heavy stun.

CSO_Raal says:
::Notes the hesitation::

CEO_Hull says:
XO: May I remind you, Sir, the Orions have technology above our own.  If they are smuggling it they could mask it out from sensors.  I suggest we search the vessel.

CMO_Amendoeira says:
::Places a few drops in his left ear::  FCO: Just lie still for a moment.

Host XO_Amendoeira says:
::Paces the Bridge::

Host CO_Cromwell says:
COM: Klingons: Thank you again for your assistance. Paula Greene, out.

CTO_Ryan says:
CO: Aye, Sir.  ::Activates transporters::

Host CO_Cromwell says:
CSO: Keep an eye on those Klingon ships.

FCO_Baptiste says:
CMO: Okay.

Host XO_Amendoeira says:
::As the COM goes down::  CO: They didn't sound too happy.

Host AGM_Selan says:
ACTION: The somewhat battered Orion crew are beamed over to the Brig of the Paula Greene.

Host CO_Cromwell says:
XO: No, they didn't, but these Orions attacked a Federation vessel, not a Klingon one.

CSO_Raal says:
CO: Aye, Sir.

Host CO_Cromwell says:
XO: You and the Counselor are needed in the Brig, I believe.

Host AGM_Selan says:
ACTION: Once the transport is complete, the Klingons beam over their security teams and then the two Birds of Prey cloak.

CSO_Raal says:
::Turns scanners to the Klingons and mentally connects to them::

CMO_Amendoeira says:
::Goes and checks on her guests::

Host XO_Amendoeira says:
::Nods:: CO: And we still have no idea why.

Host CO_Cromwell says:
OPS: Engage the tractor beam on the Orion vessel.

CSO_Raal says:
CO: Sir, a moment?

CNS_Richardson says:
::Enters a turbolift and directs it to the Bridge::

Host CO_Cromwell says:
TAC: Keep the shields up.

Host XO_Amendoeira says:
::Waits for the Counselor::

CMO_Amendoeira says:
::Gets the Bolians some refreshments::

OPS_Owens says:
::Initiates the tractor beam emitter::  CO: Stable connection, Sir.  Beam holding.

Host CO_Cromwell says:
::Turns to the CSO:: CSO: Yes?

CTO_Ryan says:
CO: Aye, Sir.

CNS_Richardson says:
::Hums a little tune as the turbolift arrives at the Bridge::

CSO_Raal says:
CO: ::Whispers:: The Klingons were a bit miffed that we took their prize, since they defeated the Orion pirates.  However, they will get over it, just a little “pride” thing.

Host XO_Amendoeira says:
::Hearing the turbolift doors open, he directs himself there:: CNS: Shall we?

CMO_Amendoeira says:
::Returns to the FCO.  Picking up a cloth, lays it on the bed::  FCO: OK, turn your head to the other side.

CEO_Hull says:
OPS: Sir, stress on the tractor beam shows that a speed of warp 6 is the sheering speed, any faster than that the beam will break

Host CO_Cromwell says:
FCO: Head us back to Federation space.  Best possible speed.

CNS_Richardson says:
::Exits the turbolift onto the Bridge, stopping at the XO's words:: XO: Certainly.

Host AGM_Selan says:
<Relief FCO> CO: Aye, Sir. ::Sets course and engages::

FCO_Baptiste says:
::Turns his head over to the other side::

Host XO_Amendoeira says:
::Walks in and commands the turbolift::  Brig.

Host AGM_Selan says:
ACTION: The Paula Greene comes about and heads at best possible speed back toward Federation space.

Host CO_Cromwell says:
CSO: I understand.  That's why I told them I will report their deed to the Klingon High Council.

CNS_Richardson says:
::Waits to follow the XO, since he's apparently been waiting for her:: XO: Where are we headed to?

Host XO_Amendoeira says:
CNS: The Brig, Counselor, we have a few Orion pirates to interview.

CSO_Raal says:
CO: Of course, Sir, but that is only a small consolation for them.  You know the Klingons are glory hounds.

CMO_Amendoeira says:
FCO: This is what you might call an old fashion remedy, but it is easier on the body.  You should feel a slight drainage.

Host CO_Cromwell says:
CTO: Please accompany the XO and the CNS to the Brig to help with the interrogation.

FCO_Baptiste says:
::Nods to show that he does::

CNS_Richardson says:
::Follows back into the turbolift:: XO: Wonderful, my favorite pastime, interviewing prisoners.  The last ones I talked to were brain dead.

CTO_Ryan says:
CO: Aye, Sir.  ::Turns over tactical to the relief tactical officer and exits Bridge into the turbolift::  Security.

CNS_Richardson says:
::Nods to Ryan as she enters::

CMO_Amendoeira says:
::Turns his head and gently cleans out the ear::  FCO: How is that?  You still hear a ringing?

Host CO_Cromwell says:
OPS: Contact Starfleet and apprise them of our situation.

CTO_Ryan says:
::Nods to the CNS::

FCO_Baptiste says:
::Grabs a disposable cloth from a dispenser ::

CTO_Ryan says:
<to the>

Host CO_Cromwell says:
CSO: I agree.  However, in this case, we didn't have much choice.  Their sacrifice was an honorable one.

FCO_Baptiste says:
::Spits out a green mass into the cloth and wipes his mouth  :: CMO : Much better.

Host XO_Amendoeira says:
::Smirks at the CNS's comment::

OPS_Owens says:
::Finishes going through the sensor logs::  CO: Sir, the only thing I can ascertain from the logs are the beaming of their boarding party back to the ship.

CSO_Raal says:
CO: Yes, Sir.  The Orion's capture was under our jurisdiction.

CTO_Ryan says:
::Exits the turbolift and walks to the Brig::

CMO_Amendoeira says:
::Raises an eyebrow::  FCO: Hmmm... I don't remember that being a reaction.

CNS_Richardson says:
::Follows Ryan to the Brig::

CMO_Amendoeira says:
::Helps him to sit up::  FCO: If you feel up to it, you may return to duty.

Host AGM_Selan says:
<Orions> ::Grunts and looks around the Brig::

CEO_Hull says:
::Places the modifications he was working on into his sub-directory for future use:: CO: I'm shutting down Engineering 1 console returning to Main Engineering, Sir.

CTO_Ryan says:
::Enters the Brig and checks in with the duty officer, then walks to the cell and looks at the prisoners::

Host XO_Amendoeira says:
::Keeps right behind the CTO::

FCO_Baptiste says:
CMO: Thanks.

Host AGM_Selan says:
<Orions> ::Note the arrival of the higher-ranking Starfleet officers::

Host CO_Cromwell says:
CSO: Any sign of the Klingon ships?

CNS_Richardson says:
::Moves over to the cell containing the Orions and studies them::

CSO_Raal says:
::Checks sensors::

Host XO_Amendoeira says:
::Stops and stands back, as the CTO begins the interrogation::

OPS_Owens says:
::Notes the incoming signal from Starfleet::  CO: Sir, Starfleet confirms they are sending a ship, the Defiant class, USS Montgomery.  ::Notes an interesting turn in developments::  But, Sir, the Ferengi’s claim about taking the Z'Karian refugees has been deemed false by their government.

CMO_Amendoeira says:
::Opens a drawer and pulls out some clothing::

CSO_Raal says:
CO: No sign of the Bird of Preys.

CMO_Amendoeira says:
FCO: Hear ya go.

CTO_Ryan says:
Computer: Begin recording.  Interrogation: Orion prisoners, Stardate: 10011.11.

CSO_Raal says:
CO: I'm picking up other, normal traffic off in the distance, though.

Host AGM_Selan says:
<Computer> CTO: Acknowledged. ::Begins recording::

CEO_Hull says:
::Exits the Bridge and heads for deck 36, Main Engineering::

CTO_Ryan says:
::Looks at the Orions::  Orion: State your names.

Host AGM_Selan says:
<Orions> ::Grunt, some even laugh, at the mention of interrogation::

OPS_Owens says:
CO: The Ferengi claim they do not have any record of a mission concerning the refugees.

FCO_Baptiste says:
::Pulls on the smock :: CMO: I think a quick shower might be in order before I go up to the Bridge.

Host AGM_Selan says:
<Orion I> ::Mumbles:: CTO: We'd rather not.

CMO_Amendoeira says:
FCO: Right through there or you may go back to your quarters.

CMO_Amendoeira says:
::Turns to update his file::

FCO_Baptiste says:
CMO: My quarters I think, my uniforms are there.

CTO_Ryan says:
::Looks at Orion 1::  We can do this the easy way or we can do this the hard way; your choice.

Host CO_Cromwell says:
OPS: Understood.  Send all the information on that Ferengi that we have to the nearest Starbase and ask for instructions.  They may want to send us after them or send another ship.

Host AGM_Selan says:
<Orion I> ::Wry grin:: CTO: Let's try the hard way, sounds fun.

Host CO_Cromwell says:
FCO: Alter course to the nearest Starbase.

FCO_Baptiste says:
::Hops off the biobed ::

CMO_Amendoeira says:
::Nods::  FCO: Take it easy for a few days.  Over all you are fine, but your body is still recovering.

CEO_Hull says:
::Exits the turbolift and heads down the corridor to Main Engineering::

Host AGM_Selan says:
<Relief FCO> CO: Aye, Sir. ::Scans for a nearby Starbase::

CTO_Ryan says:
Orion 1: Very well.  ::Taps COM badge::  Ryan to Sickbay.  Please send a medical team to the Brig.

FCO_Baptiste says:
CMO: Understood, no squash tonight then.  ::Grins ::

OPS_Owens says:
CO: Understood, Sir.  ::Encodes a message to Starbase 113 concerning the recent information and request further instructions::

CMO_Amendoeira says:
FCO: Nope.  ::Smiles::

Host XO_Amendoeira says:
::Frowns at the CTO's message, but allows him to continue::

Host CO_Cromwell says:
::Moves to the Big Chair and punches a few buttons for a while, then speaks softly into the recorder::

Host AGM_Selan says:
<Relief FCO> ::Picks up Starbase 113, lays in course and engages::

CNS_Richardson says:
::Quietly observing the Orions, as Ryan talks to them::

FCO_Baptiste says:
::Exits Sickbay and heads for his quarters for a quick shower::

CEO_Hull says:
::Arrives in Main Engineering, heads for the Master Situation Console and begins scans of the Orion ship::

CMO_Amendoeira says:
*XO* I am releasing Lieutenant Baptiste for duty.  He will be going to his quarters first to get cleaned up and dressed.

Host AGM_Selan says:
<Orion I> ::Looks confused::

CTO_Ryan says:
Orion 1:  You will be given a truth serum by our medical team.  Then we shall get the answers we seek.

Host XO_Amendoeira says:
::Taps his badge and speaks silently:: *CMO* Understood.

CMO_Amendoeira says:
::Goes back to her guests, sees they are getting a bit restless and steps back outside the door::

CMO_Amendoeira says:
*CO* Will you be coming down any time soon to speak with the Bolians?

Host XO_Amendoeira says:
::Almost steps up to speak to the CTO, but allows her some leeway::

Host CO_Cromwell says:
OPS: I've recorded a message for the Klingon High Command and the High Council.  I've sent them to your console.  Please forward them.

CTO_Ryan says:
*CMO* Ryan to Dr. Amendoeira.  Please send a medical team to the Brig with several hyposprays of truth serum.

Host AGM_Selan says:
<Orion I> CTO: Truth serum? What is that?

FCO_Baptiste says:
::Enters quarters and strips off his clothes and heads for the shower::

Host CO_Cromwell says:
*CMO* On my way now, Doctor.

CMO_Amendoeira says:
*CTO* I am on my way.

Host CO_Cromwell says:
CSO: You have the Bridge.

Host XO_Amendoeira says:
::Frowns, wondering if Ryan is actually thinking of dong that::

CSO_Raal says:
CO: Aye, Sir.

CSO_Raal says:
::Goes to the center seat but notices a sensor detection::

OPS_Owens says:
::Adjusts the ventilation control on deck 7 then hears the CO and notes the information::  CO: Aye, Sir, consider it done.

CNS_Richardson says:
::Decides to speak:: Orions: Really, now, it would be easier all around if you simply told us why you attacked the freighter and what it is that you beamed from it. That's all we want to know.

CTO_Ryan says:
Orion 1: You will be injected with a chemical substance, which will aid in your cooperation with our interrogation.

CMO_Amendoeira says:
*CO* Captain, they are ensconced in my office.  I am heading down to the Brig.

Host AGM_Selan says:
<Orion I> ::Sweats some::

Host CO_Cromwell says:
::Leaves the Bridge and heads for Sickbay::

FCO_Baptiste says:
::Steps out of the sonic shower and heads to his closet and puts on a fresh uniform::

Host CO_Cromwell says:
*CMO* Acknowledged.

CSO_Raal says:
*CO* Captain, we are picking up a plasma trail from the Ferengi vessel.

CTO_Ryan says:
Orion 1: The main thing is to administer the proper dosage of the substance.  Too much and well, let's just say you may not be around to cause anyone any further troubles.

FCO_Baptiste says:
::Exits his quarters and heads to the turbolift::

CSO_Raal says:
*CO* We picked it up once we entered Federation space.  It's from their run-in with that ion storm.

CMO_Amendoeira says:
::Takes down a bottle of Sodium Pentathol and heads for the Brig::

Host CO_Cromwell says:
*CSO* If there has been no response from Starfleet, then we stay on course for the Starbase.  Make a note of the trail for future reference.

FCO_Baptiste says:
::Enters turbolift:: Bridge.

CSO_Raal says:
*CO* Aye, Sir.

Host AGM_Selan says:
<Orion I> CTO: So you would kill me... w-what would that gain you?

OPS_Owens says:
*CO* Sir, I'm receiving a communication from Starfleet Command.  Do you wish me to patch it through to your location?

Host CO_Cromwell says:
::Arrives in Sickbay and moves to the office::

CTO_Ryan says:
Orion 1: It's up to you, cooperate and we won't have to use the chemicals.

CNS_Richardson says:
Orion 1: It makes much more sense to simply tell us what we want to know, then there's no risk.

Host CO_Cromwell says:
*OPS* Go ahead.

CMO_Amendoeira says:
<Nurse April> ::Shows the Captain to the Bolians, then quietly closes the door::

Host AGM_Selan says:
<Orions> ::Give the Orion who is speaking a look::

OPS_Owens says:
::Patches it through to Sickbay::  *CO* Channel open, Sir.

CSO_Raal says:
*CO* Sir, the sensors indicate that plasma trail will dissipate in 3 1/2 hours.

Host AGM_Selan says:
<Orion I> CTO: I am Unoth.

CMO_Amendoeira says:
::Arrives in the Brig, her expression one of disapproval::

FCO_Baptiste says:
::Exits onto the Bridge and looks about::

Host CO_Cromwell says:
::Greets the freighter crew and takes the call::

OPS_Owens says:
::After hearing the CSO he hopes Starfleet is giving them the chase orders::

Host CO_Cromwell says:
COM: Starfleet Command: This is Captain Cromwell.  ::Waits for the response::

CMO_Amendoeira says:
::Steps over to the XO and CNS, looking at the CTO::

CTO_Ryan says:
Unoth: What were your objectives in your attack on the Antares freighter?

FCO_Baptiste says:
CSO:  ::Walks up to him::  What has been happening?

Host Starfleet_Command says:
@ COM: Captain Cromwell: Captain, we have received the data. You will deliver the Orions and their vessel to Starbase 113 along with the survivors from the Bolian freighter.  We are currently attempting to track down the Ferengi freighter, which was housing so called Z’Karian refugees.

Host Starfleet_Command says:
<Unoth> CTO: To make some money. They didn't have any cargo, so...

Host XO_Amendoeira says:
~~~Aurora: I do hope she is bluffing, I can't allow her to use that on them~~~

Host Starfleet_Command says:
<Unoth> CTO: We boarded her and took all expensive belongings.

Host Starfleet_Command says:
<Unoth> CTO: Then you all showed up and we left.

CMO_Amendoeira says:
::Nods, some of the tension leaving her::

CNS_Richardson says:
::Watches the Orions as Unoth speaks, trying to gauge the truth of his words::

CTO_Ryan says:
Unoth: Do you act alone or are there others?

Host CO_Cromwell says:
COM: Starfleet Command: Understood.  We are already underway to Starbase 113.  I will forward the latest data on the warp trail to you.

CMO_Amendoeira says:
::Glances at the Counselor, but does not interfere::

Host Starfleet_Command says:
<Unoth> CTO: There are always others, but we haven't come in contact with anyone else in months, mostly because of your type.

Host CO_Cromwell says:
*CSO* Forward that warp trail data to Starfleet and maintain course.

Host Starfleet_Command says:
@ COM: Paula Greene:  Warp trail?

CSO_Raal says:
*CO* Aye, Sir.

CSO_Raal says:
OPS: Make it so.

CTO_Ryan says:
Unoth: I want a list of all of your accomplices.  You will provide their names and last known whereabouts.

Host CO_Cromwell says:
COM: Starfleet Command: We recently discovered the warp trail from the Ferengi freighter along our current course.  My CSO is sending the data now.

FCO_Baptiste says:
::Relieves the other FCO::

OPS_Owens says:
::After listening in on the patched COM he already had it set up and sends:: CSO: Data sent.

FCO_Baptiste says:
::Reorders the board::

Host Starfleet_Command says:
<Unoth> CTO: I don't have their names.  Just their code-names and by now, they've been changed.  We're not stupid, Starfleet, we know eventually that you'll catch some of us.

CSO_Raal says:
*CO* Data sent.

CNS_Richardson says:
::Raises an eyebrow at the implications of Unoth's statement::

CTO_Ryan says:
Unoth: You will provide any knowledge you have.

Host Starfleet_Command says:
@ ::There is a moment's silence, as if a decision is going underway:: COM: Paula Greene: Change of orders. You are to track down that freighter immediately. You are the only vessel in the region capable of doing so.

CSO_Raal says:
::Overhears the patch::

Host Starfleet_Command says:
<Unoth> ::Shrugs:: CTO: Sure, we'll give you the code names.

CSO_Raal says:
FCO: Prepare to change course.

OPS_Owens says:
::Already transferring power for a sudden direction change::

FCO_Baptiste says:
CSO: Aye.

CTO_Ryan says:
::Turns to the XO::  XO: Sir, do you have further questions?

FCO_Baptiste says:
::Wonders where to change it to::

CSO_Raal says:
*CO* If we have to change course, should we drop the Orion vessel?

Host XO_Amendoeira says:
::Walks up from behind the shadows:: CTO: No, Lieutenant.  ::Grins::

Host CO_Cromwell says:
COM: Starfleet Command: Understood.  Will we rendezvous with the USS Montgomery so that they can take charge of the Orion vessel we have in tow?

CTO_Ryan says:
XO: Very well, Sir.  ::Motions to a security officer to begin recording the code names of the other Orion pirates::

Host XO_Amendoeira says:
::Accompanies the CTO, CNS and CMO out of the Brig::

Host Starfleet_Command says:
@COM: Paula Greene: Negative. Drop the vessel and send coordinates to the Montgomery.

CTO_Ryan says:
::Exits the Brig headed to Sickbay::

CMO_Amendoeira says:
XO/CNS: I am relieved the sodium pentathol was not needed.

CNS_Richardson says:
::In a low voice as they leave:: XO, CTO: It seems we've come across a conspiracy of some sort. Near as I can tell, Unoth was being truthful with us.

Host XO_Amendoeira says:
CNS: Conspiracy?

FCO_Baptiste says:
::Raises eyebrow and prepares to drop the tractor beam::

Host CO_Cromwell says:
COM: Starfleet Command: Understood.  Paula Greene, out.

CNS_Richardson says:
XO: The comment about "stopping all of them".

Host XO_Amendoeira says:
CTO: Lieutenant, were you actually planning on using the Sodium Pentathol?

CNS_Richardson says:
XO: It struck me as a reference to an organization of some sort.

CTO_Ryan says:
CNS: I believe this is only one ship of a larger operation in place.

CNS_Richardson says:
Ryan: I would agree.

CMO_Amendoeira says:
::Listening steps onto the turbolift::

CTO_Ryan says:
XO: Sir, I cannot reveal my secret interrogation techniques, not even to you. ::Grins::

Host CO_Cromwell says:
*CSO* Since you've been monitoring my communication, against protocol, I might add, you'll know that we will be pursuing the Ferengi vessel.  Disengage tractor beam and leave a marker buoy near the Orion ship.

CSO_Raal says:
*CO* Aye, Sir.

Host XO_Amendoeira says:
::Frowns:: CTO: Well, next time, give me some word of warning.  I almost called you out in the middle of that interrogation.

FCO_Baptiste says:
::Snickers softly ::

CTO_Ryan says:
XO/CNS: I will proceed to Sickbay to check on the Bolians and get their story.

CSO_Raal says:
FCO: Change course to pursue the Ferengi.

OPS_Owens says:
::Mildly grimaces at the CO's COM to the CSO::

CTO_Ryan says:
XO: Aye, Sir.

Host CO_Cromwell says:
*OPS* Contact the USS Montgomery and give them the coordinates of the Orion vessel.

CMO_Amendoeira says:
CTO: The Captain was on his way there when I left.

FCO_Baptiste says:
::Adjusts course ::

CSO_Raal says:
OPS: Disengage tractor beam when ready and set up marker buoy.

Host XO_Amendoeira says:
::Nods:: CNS: Back to the Bridge?

CNS_Richardson says:
XO/CTO: The Orion's words indicated that they are simply pirates, robbing vessels that come their way.  I can't help feeling that there's more.

CTO_Ryan says:
XO: Would you rather have me report back to the Bridge?

CMO_Amendoeira says:
::As the others step through the door::  <Computer> Deck 12.

Host XO_Amendoeira says:
CTO: Not at all, Lieutenant Carry on.

CTO_Ryan says:
CNS: Agreed, Counselor.

FCO_Baptiste says:
CSO: Course adjusted, I recommend warp 8.7.

CSO_Raal says:
FCO: Maximum warp.

CNS_Richardson says:
::Nods at the XO's suggestion to return to the Bridge and nods good-bye to Aurora::

OPS_Owens says:
::Disengages the tractor beam from the Orion ship and sends the coordinates to the Montgomery::  CSO: Accomplished, Sir.  Marker buoy left at the sight.

CTO_Ryan says:
::Enters turbolift:: Sickbay.

FCO_Baptiste says:
CSO: Going to warp 9.87.

CMO_Amendoeira says:
::Steps off the turbolift::  All: Till later.

FCO_Baptiste says:
::Engages::

CMO_Amendoeira says:
::Heads back to Sickbay with the CTO.

Host XO_Amendoeira says:
~~~Auri: See you later, my love~~~

Host CO_Cromwell says:
::Feels the ship go to warp::

CSO_Raal says:
*CO* We're in pursuit of the Ferengi at maximum warp.

CMO_Amendoeira says:
~~~XO: You have dinner tonight~~~  ::Smiles::

Host CO_Cromwell says:
*CSO* Very well.  Let me know when we have them in sensor range.

CTO_Ryan says:
::Enters Sickbay with the CMO::

Host CO_Cromwell says:
::Turns to the Bolians::

Host XO_Amendoeira says:
CNS: There have been documented stories about the relationships between the Orion pirates and some legitimate organizations.  Who knows?

CMO_Amendoeira says:
::Leads the CTO to her office and their guests::

CSO_Raal says:
*CO* Aye, Sir.

CMO_Amendoeira says:
::Opens her office door and nods to the Captain still with the Bolians::

CEO_Hull says:
*OPS* A change of orders? I show the tractor beam is disengaged and we are beyond the sheer point of the tractor beam.

CTO_Ryan says:
::Follows the CMO to her office, sees the CO and nods::  CO: Sir.

Host CO_Cromwell says:
::Apologizes for the long discussion with Starfleet::

CNS_Richardson says:
::Considers the information provided by the Orions, trying to make sense of it::

OPS_Owens says:
*CEO* My apologies, Lieutenant Hull.  Acknowledged, we have dropped the tractor beam in pursuit of the Ferengi vessel carrying the Z’Karian refugees.

Host CO_Cromwell says:
::Looks up at the CTO and CMO::  Hello.

CSO_Raal says:
::Slaves science to the main chair's terminal::

Host CO_Cromwell says:
CTO/CMO: I was just getting to know our guests.

CMO_Amendoeira says:
CO: The CTO wished to join you.  Is there anything I can get you?

Host XO_Amendoeira says:
::As the turbolift doors open he steps onto the Bridge:: CSO: Report.

CTO_Ryan says:
::Stands against the wall behind the Bolians and remains quiet:: CO: So I see, Sir.

CSO_Raal says:
::Gets up:: XO: We're after the Ferengi freighter at maximum warp.

CSO_Raal says:
XO: We've left the Orion pirate ship for the Montgomery with a marker buoy.

CEO_Hull says:
*OPS* That is a shame!  I probably could of restored main power and such on the Orion ship.  It could have been used as a way to get closer to the Ferengi.  Very well, Hull, out.

CNS_Richardson says:
::Exits onto the Bridge with the XO::

OPS_Owens says:
*CEO* Starfleet wishes us to pursue this vessel since the Ferengi Government doesn't have any prior knowledge of their activities.

Host XO_Amendoeira says:
CSO: Oh?

Host CO_Cromwell says:
CMO: A cup of coffee would be good, thank you.  Please get our guests anything they'd like too.

Host XO_Amendoeira says:
CSO: Why?

OPS_Owens says:
::Would have been rather impressed with the CEO's abilities if he could do what he claimed::

Host CO_Cromwell says:
CTO: Don't be so shy.  ::Pats the chair next to him:: Come sit.

Host XO_Amendoeira says:
::Overhears Owens:: CSO: Never mind.

CMO_Amendoeira says:
::Glances at the Bolians to see if they need anything.  As one lifts his glass for a refill, she takes it and goes to get the Captain some coffee::

Host XO_Amendoeira says:
CSO: Keep long-range sensors searching for that Ferengi Ship.

CSO_Raal says:
::Relinquishes Bridge command to XO::

CEO_Hull says:
::Sits at the CEO Console monitoring the 9.+-warp speed output of the core::

CSO_Raal says:
XO: Aye, Sir, the Bridge is yours.

FCO_Baptiste says:
::Checks course::

CMO_Amendoeira says:
::Returns with the refreshments.  Handing the Captain his coffee, she sits down in her seat::

CTO_Ryan says:
::Walks over and sits down:: CO: Thank you, Sir.
