Summary:
Ensign McQuade secures - or tries to secure - necessary supplies aboard Starbase 121, as Lieutenant Commander Conor concludes his business with Jeff. Oh, and Ensign Ivara is mind-probed with greater intensity at the hands of Saask while Ensign Ryan tries frantically to gain access to the off-the-grid quarters in which it's taking place.

CSO_Ens_Ivara says:
::takes a deep breath and clears her mind focusing on the wall opposite her:: Saask: Tal-Shiar I take it.
Host XO_LtCmdr_Conor says:
::knocks back the last his drink and gets up from his seat and heads back out to promenade::
Host XO_LtCmdr_Conor says:
::adjusts his comm badge to activate it once again::
Host XO_LtCmdr_Conor says:
*OPS* What is the status on the resupply?
SO_Ens_Ryan says:
::dugs out her tricorder from her duffel bag in the corridor::
OPS_Lt_Matthew says:
@*XO*: About 40% complete, Commander. I estimate another 90 minutes or so. There's usually a few last items that take the longest to transfer.
Saask says:
::Says nothing, walking back to the desk at the front of the room, as his time is growing short...taps a few buttons on the control console there, and activates a subroutine to gradually increase the intensity of the device::
SEO_Ens_Milton says:
*XO*: Er, Commander Power? Of the Andromeda?
Host XO_LtCmdr_Conor says:
*SEO_Ens_Milton* Power here, what can I do for you?
CEO_Ens_McQuade says:
::Enters a few supplies into the data terminal for delivery and checking them off on his PADD.::
SO_Ens_Ryan says:
::Scans malfunctioning entrance pad to begin with, hesitates and scans inside through the door::
CSO_Ens_Ivara says:
Saask: Your technique on that pinch was sloppy.  Even if the nerve you were going for was there you wouldn't have hit it.
SEO_Ens_Milton says:
*XO*: Station OPS tells me you offered to help out while you were here.
Host XO_LtCmdr_Conor says:
*SEO_Ens_Milton* It sounds like I'm about to regret making that offer then.
Host XO_LtCmdr_Conor says:
::Starts heading back towards the docking ring::
SEO_Ens_Milton says:
 *XO*: Er...Well, one of your new officers was really insistent about a power failure on the docking ring deck, Hall 11-A. We won't have the people to spare for hours, at least. Thought you might be willing to take a look, since it was reported by one of your own.
SO_Ens_Ryan says:
::Startles at the results of the scan and double checks. Reading confirms a Vulcan. And a double Cardassian/Romulan biosign:::
CEO_Ens_McQuade says:
::Works out the rushed delivery time for some of the materials on his list then turns back to the cooridor.::
Host XO_LtCmdr_Conor says:
*SEO* Understood, I'll take care of it, can you beam me to that location from my current position?
Host XO_LtCmdr_Conor says:
*CEO* You got a second?
CSO_Ens_Ivara says:
::sits still, her entire attention now taken up with the mind probe.::
CEO_Ens_McQuade says:
::Pauses as he approaches the cooridor and taps his badge.::  *XO*: McQuade here sir.  I've got my supplies on order.  At least those they offer from here.  I've got a little time before I need to return to the ship.  What’s going on?
SEO_Ens_Milton says:
 ::After an awkward moment of silence:: *XO*: Er..yeah, sure. ::Another half-second pause, then the thunk of a palm smacking against the side of a computer is transmitted over the comm:: I--uh, think I can do that. ::Another thunk:: Just a second.
Host XO_LtCmdr_Conor says:
*CEO* Can you meet on the docking ring deck Hall 11-A, one of our own called in a power failure and sounded pretty insistent about it. Let's take a look for ourselves
SO_Ens_Ryan says:
Self: It has to be Ivara, I didn't imagine this after all! ::taps commbadge to call station security. Realizes she's Andromeda personnel now! What is the name of the XO she missed??::
Saask says:
::Remains silent, and out of Ivara's line of sight::  CSO:  You may focus on whatever you wish.  I assure you, anything and everything you can tell me will be helpful in some form.
Host XO_LtCmdr_Conor says:
*SEO* Should I just use my own ship transporters?
CEO_Ens_McQuade says:
*XO*:  On my way sir.  Glad I brought my engineering kit with me.  ::Enters the TL and orders the docking ring.::
SEO_Ens_Milton says:
::With just an edge of defensiveness to his tone:: *XO*: No, no! I've got this.  Initiating transport in 3...2...1...
SO_Ens_Ryan says:
*XO*: Ensign Ryan, Sir. I was on my way to meet you when I think I... saw someone being dragged in quarters right where I stand, Sir. Requesting assistance, Sir.
CSO_Ens_Ivara says:
::would grimace if she could really feel her face:: Saask: I am sure that it will be...who is your Tal-Shiar contact? You might want to contact them now and tell them who you've captured, I'm sure they will be quite interested.
CEO_Ens_McQuade says:
::Pushes the strap of his kit a little higher on his shoulder as the turbolift continues to the docking ring.::
Host SMLea says:
ACTION: With one more thunk over the commline, XO Conor feels the familiar whine of dematerialization. About three seconds later than usual, the XO rematerializes about ten feet from Ryan.
CEO_Ens_McQuade says:
::Waits for the turbolift door to partially open and close before it finally opens fully on the docking ring.::
Host XO_LtCmdr_Conor says:
::quickly looks up and down the corridor and sees a new face standing ten feet away.:: SO_Ryan: You Ryan?
SO_Ens_Ryan says:
::startles and tugs with one free hand at singed uniform:: XO: Yes sir, just assigned to the Andromeda. These are the quarters! ::points::
CEO_Ens_McQuade says:
::Steps out into the corridor and looks the station over to figure out where the hell Hall 11-A is.  Then turns and begins to walk down the corridor.::
Saask says:
::Glances at his computer console, stares at his shoes a moment in thought, and taps a few commands into his console::
Host XO_LtCmdr_Conor says:
*OPS*: Scan the area around me and let me know everyone within a 100 meter radius and if anything looks out of place and beam me my go kit to this location as well. And get me the CTO's exographic targeting sensor too. Make it quick.
CEO_Ens_McQuade says:
::Pulls out his engineering tricorder from his kit as he walks the hall scanning the power relays along the way to Hall 11-A.::
Host XO_LtCmdr_Conor says:
::flips open his tricorder and starts scanning the quarters carefully:: SO_Ryan: What did you see exactly?
Saask says:
::Still with only a modicum of inflection in his voice::  CSO:  What is your opinion of your command staff on the Andromeda?  Lieutenant Commander Power and Captain Knight?
SO_Ens_Ryan says:
XO: I only caught it from the corner of my eye, Sir. It had to be Ivara, Ensign Ivara and two men. She slumped and they took her away.
CEO_Ens_McQuade says:
::Rounds the corner into Hall 11-A and sees the XO and an unknown SO.::  Self:  Well this should be fun.  ::Walks towards the others as he continues to look at the tricorder scans.::
Host XO_LtCmdr_Conor says:
SO_Ens_Ryan: Did you see what these people looked like?
CSO_Ens_Ivara says:
::breathing heavily, her tone managing to carry more than a bit of the typical romulan pride and imperiousness:: Saask: I am requesting that you contact your superior under article three paragraph sixteen of the Tal-Shiar general orders. If you do not...well the consequences will be severe.
SO_Ens_Ryan says:
XO: Then I tried to open the door when power malfunctioned and I was thrown against the bulkhead! ::shakes head:: A Vulcan I think, I don't recall the other one, Sir. I'm sorry.
CEO_Ens_McQuade says:
::Stops short of Lt Commander Conor and looks at the wall.::   Outloud:  Now this is different.
Setta’n says:
 ::Glances to Saask, and nods once, though it is barely perceptible in the darkness::
Host XO_LtCmdr_Conor says:
SO_Ens_Ryan: Ok let’s get this situation under control then.
OPS_Lt_Matthew says:
@*XO*: Yes Sir. Kit incoming.   ::Notifies the proper staff to prep the equipment, then arranges the transport::

ACTION:
ACTION: Commander Power's "Kit" materializes ten feet away from the three officers.

CEO_Ens_McQuade says:
::Pulls a panel off the wall and sets it down on the deck.::
Host XO_LtCmdr_Conor says:
CEO: Scan the door and mechanism for any booby traps. We have a situation here. My scans show something putting out a lot of power in there.
Host XO_LtCmdr_Conor says:
::points at the bag:: SO_Ens_Ryan: Grab my kit bag
CEO_Ens_McQuade says:
XO:  Yeah.  This is kinda interesting.  There isn't any power from the station going into that room.  But there is power in there.  ::Scans the door from inside the wall unit.::
SO_Ens_Ryan says:
::Feels vastly relieved in the company of superior officers. Feels the ring through her pocket::
Host XO_LtCmdr_Conor says:
CEO: Our CSO has been grabbed and put in there it seems. I'm going to fetch her in a minute.
Saask says:
CSO:  Your efforts are most impressive, Ensign -- however, your aimless concentration is leading me directly to the information I desire.  I thank you for your cooperation in this matter.
CEO_Ens_McQuade says:
XO: Someone has gone to a lot of trouble to disconnect all the power relays.
Host XO_LtCmdr_Conor says:
CEO: I'd rather I didn't get vaporized when I open the door
CEO_Ens_McQuade says:
::Checks the scans for booby traps and for controls.::
CEO_Ens_McQuade says:
XO:  Give me one second sir.  Completing the scans now.::
Host XO_LtCmdr_Conor says:
::runs the ten feet to his bag and brings it back and starts opening it up::
OPS_Lt_Matthew says:
@*XO*: Scan complete, Commander. Picking up two life-signs, one Vulcan, one Romulan/Cardassian. The communicator signal indicates it's Ensign Ivara. Also, there's a source of significant power inside, some sort of generator.
Setta’n says:
  ::Continues tapping at the controls, glancing impassively toward the door every few moments::
CEO_Ens_McQuade says:
XO:  Commander might I suggest just flooding the room with gas rather than an all out assault?
CEO_Ens_McQuade says:
XO:  Scans in sir.  Don't touch the door of the chime.  It’s got some nasty traps on it.
Host XO_LtCmdr_Conor says:
::starts unpacking a local transporter jammer and setting it up::
CEO_Ens_McQuade says:
XO:  Scans also show the door is not running on station power.  There must be an internal power generator inside the room.
Host XO_LtCmdr_Conor says:
CEO: I don't have gas handy in my kit.
SO_Ens_Ryan says:
CEO: I confirm. ::starts feeling various aches as the adrenaline ebbs a little::
OPS_Lt_Matthew says:
@*XO*: Anything else, Commander?
Host XO_LtCmdr_Conor says:
::points at the sensor jammer:: SO: Built and set up quickly.
CSO_Ens_Ivara says:
::closes her eyes, losing another sensation that is distracting her from the mind probes invasion. She can practically feel it burrowing into her mind. She focuses now totally on resistance.:: Saask: Have you ever read "The Never Ending Sacrifice?"
CEO_Ens_McQuade says:
XO:  I could tap into the station systems.  With your permission sir.  ::Grins a bit.::
Saask says:
CSO:  What do you know about those officers you are transporting to your new area of operations?  The admiral and his attaché?
Host XO_LtCmdr_Conor says:
*OPS* Keep a sensor lock on this area and let us know if anything changes at all
Host XO_LtCmdr_Conor says:
::actives the transporter jammer and confirms it is reporting a steady output::
SO_Ens_Ryan says:
Self: I wonder if this has anything to do with the Ad... ::shuts the heck up and begins wondering about the whole strangeness of her day::
Host XO_LtCmdr_Conor says:
CEO: Try it but don't pump anything in yet
Host XO_LtCmdr_Conor says:
::takes his phaser rifle and checks it and puts on his equipment vest and starts holstering various weapons::
Host XO_LtCmdr_Conor says:
SO: Ryan! Sensor jammer, now!
CEO_Ens_McQuade says:
XO: Understood sir.  ::Plugs his tricorder into the stations environmental control systems and quietly begins hacking the codes.::
CEO_Ens_McQuade says:
::Verifies the room controls.::
SO_Ens_Ryan says:
::Jumps and touches a key to activate jam:: XO: It's on Sir!
Host XO_LtCmdr_Conor says:
::takes two phaser pistols out and hands one to the SO and then CEO: SO: Watch my back.
CEO_Ens_McQuade says:
::Takes the phaser and set it on heavy stun before placing it on his hip.::
CSO_Ens_Ivara says:
::can't help but think of Light and the admiral her mind bringing up images of the two easily before she replaces it with the words on the pages:: Saask: It is a lovely story about Cardassians who sacrifice themselves for the state. It starts with Legate Klhim, he is investigating a traitor...
Host XO_LtCmdr_Conor says:
::moves up towards the quarters doors to a position where he can get a clear shot in if required::
Host XO_LtCmdr_Conor says:
*OPS* Where is my exo sensor? If I have to go over and fetch it I'm not going to be happy.
SO_Ens_Ryan says:
::Takes the phaser with round eyes and stands aside::
Saask says:
CSO:  Very good...indeed, it could be you will be more able to give me some information about someone with whom you are more familiar, on a personal basis -- a good friend, perhaps, such as a leading professor of sociology at Starfleet Academy?

ACTION:
The increasing intensity of the mind probes begins to wear on Ivara, not just mentally, but physically as well. A single trickle of blood begins to drip down her upper lip.

CEO_Ens_McQuade says:
Self: Damn.  ::Scans the interior section of the room.::  Self:  We will do this the hard way then.  ::Pulls a laser cutter from his kit and moves back to the opening.::
Host XO_LtCmdr_Conor says:
::notices a shocked looking SO:: SO: You do know how to use one of those right?
CEO_Ens_McQuade says:
XO: Sir the env system in the room is cut off from the station.  So I'm going to drill into the wall and tube feed the gas.
SO_Ens_Ryan says:
XO: I remember Sir. We go for stun... don't we??
Host XO_LtCmdr_Conor says:
CEO: I don't like the sound of that, drilling in to a wall is likely to be heard to anyone with sensitive ears. Can you silently kill the door locks so we can pull it open quietly?
Host XO_LtCmdr_Conor says:
SO: Normally yes but use your own judgment and be prepared to defend it if required.
Setta’n says:
  ::Glances to Saask a moment, and wonders, however unemotionally, whether or not their escape strategy was the ideal solution::
Host XO_LtCmdr_Conor says:
::confirms his phaser rifle is on maximum stun::
CEO_Ens_McQuade says:
XO:  It will take some time bypassing the door locks.  Unless I want to get fried while doing it.  I've already got the hole made.  ::Shows the laser cutter in his left hand as he continues to mount a small env duct to the hole.::
Host XO_LtCmdr_Conor says:
CEO: Can you get a boriscope in there so we can see what is going on?
CSO_Ens_Ivara says:
::doesn't feel anything, but tastes the slight tang of blood:: Saask: You've made one mistake. You left me able to talk. ::she reaches over for one of her teeth with a tongue, working at it letting whoever was watching see her last dental appointment, and overlaying it with a voice saying, "I don't want you to have to do this..."::
SO_Ens_Ryan says:
::Looks at tricorder and worries:: XO: Sir, Ivara's life signs don't look so good, we need to hurry.
SO_Ens_Ryan says:
CEO: Can't we just beam her out?
OPS_Lt_Matthew says:
@*XO*: Commander, we've got your exographic sensor. Ready to beam in.
CEO_Ens_McQuade says:
::Hands his tricorder to Conor.::  XO:  Like this one sir?  ::Finishes placing the extendable pipe into the second hole and expanding the mounting ring.::
Host XO_LtCmdr_Conor says:
::looks to see what is happening in the room::
CEO_Ens_McQuade says:
XO:  Its online and should give you 20 degree angle of vision.
Host XO_LtCmdr_Conor says:
*OPS* Beam it in

ACTION:
A small kit appears ten feet away from the Starfleet officers.

Host XO_LtCmdr_Conor says:
SO: Pass me the sensor
SO_Ens_Ryan says:
::Grabs the piece of equipment and hurries to the XO::
Host XO_LtCmdr_Conor says:
::takes the sensor out of the box and puts in on and activates it:: CEO: New toy.
SO_Ens_Ryan says:
::Stands to the side again and this time she's holding her phaser right::
CEO_Ens_McQuade says:
CEO:  I wouldn't say new.  They have been around for some time now sir.  ::Snickers as he finishes the env tube seal to the wall.::
Setta’n says:
  ::Becomes suddenly uncomfortable with the results he's getting on his readouts, and stands from the desk and rushes over to Ivara in a near-panic, doing the only thing he can think to do under such duress -- put his finger in her mouth and try to hold her tongue down -- as he fumbles in his pocket::
CSO_Ens_Ivara says:
::would laugh internally as she feels the stranger's fingers in her mouth, she simply clamps on his finger as hard as she can::
CEO_Ens_McQuade says:
::Pulls himself back out of the wall terminal station and walks to the SO.::  SO:  Ensign here is the env controls  you can arm in whenever Lt Commander Conor requests it.    ::Turns to Conor.::  XO:  Sir I'm heading into the JTs to see if I can get the door.
Host XO_LtCmdr_Conor says:
CEO: Three people in there, 2 hostiles and our CSO being interrogated by the looks of it.
Host XO_LtCmdr_Conor says:
::takes out a plasma charge and places it on the door:: CEO: No time, looks like she's getting roughed up pretty badly.
SO_Ens_Ryan says:
::Takes the Env remote and looks at settings::
Host XO_LtCmdr_Conor says:
CEO: Chair in middle of room with CSO, one standing beside her, another in far corner of room. The charge makes a hole for us in. I take one nearest CSO, you follow me in and take corner dude.
Setta’n says:
  ::Grunts and removes his hand, lamenting his own stupidity, but desperate times...he removes his hand from his other pocket and produces a hypospray, which he quickly taps to Ivara's shoulder::
Host XO_LtCmdr_Conor says:
::modulates the charge so it should only be powerful enough to blow a hole in the door::
Host XO_LtCmdr_Conor says:
::takes up a position close to the door but far enough he won't be blown up by his own plasma charge:: CEO: You ready?
CEO_Ens_McQuade says:
::Moves back to the panel.::  XO:  Then we should pump gas in now before we rush in.  It would give us an advantage.
Host XO_LtCmdr_Conor says:
::points at a bulkhead:: SO: Ryan, go there and follow us in after 4 seconds.
SO_Ens_Ryan says:
XO: Aye Sir, 4 seconds! ::takes position::
Host XO_LtCmdr_Conor says:
CEO: Vulcans, I don't think we have enough gas to start off with and I don't want them noticing anything is off while we wait for it to kick in.
CEO_Ens_McQuade says:
::Pulls the phaser and takes the over side of the door.::
CSO_Ens_Ivara says:
::feels the finger pulled from her mouth and tastes green blood, as she feels the hypo on her shoulder she tries to push the fluid in her mouth into her cheek in an effort to save it as evidence. The only word she thinks now is 'sloppy'::
Setta’n says:
  ::Storms back toward his computer console, wrapping his finger in his robes and applying pressure to stem the little trickle of blood from his index finger::
SO_Ens_Ryan says:
::Raises a hand to her face to protect herself::
Host XO_LtCmdr_Conor says:
::takes a deep breath to steady his mind:: All: Entry in five! ::sets timer and faces back towards door::

ACTION:
The automatically increasing intensity of the mind probes continues, now causing a deep and intense ringing in Ivara's ears.

Saask says:
CSO:  Try as hard as you can not to concentrate on your Academy days, Ensign.  Those who helped you...those who guided you....
CEO_Ens_McQuade says:
XO:  Did I ever tell you how much I hate phasers.  ::Pulls the phaser close to his chest making ready for entry.::
SO_Ens_Ryan says:
:: Gives herself courage by thinking of Ivara who tutored her through a difficult science course at the Academy::
Setta’n says:
  ::Starts to gather a small satchel, seeing that his timer -- which he set when he first detected the sensor jamming -- is about to expire...he's already stayed put too long::
CEO_Ens_McQuade says:
::Mentally counts down the timer as he waits.::
CEO_Ens_McQuade says:
Self:  This is a long five second fuse.
Setta’n says:
  ::Presses a button on the little black box beside his computer console...it sparks, and his computer setup begins to liquefy::

ACTION:
The plasma charge detonates, blowing out the door and a touch of the structure around it, causing a fair bit of ringing in the ears of the other Starfleet officers, and nearly blowing out Ivara's already sensitized ones.

CSO_Ens_Ivara says:
::falls still, clenching her teeth but otherwise her features relaxing::
Host XO_LtCmdr_Conor says:
::right after the explosion, he quickly turns on his feet and with phaser rifle drawn and ready enters the room::
Host XO_LtCmdr_Conor says:
::takes aim at the first Vulcan and fires a short blast into his chest::
SO_Ens_Ryan says:
Self: One...
Setta’n says:
  ::Doesn't even have time to gasp as he crumples to the floor on top of his satchel::
CEO_Ens_McQuade says:
::Turns through the door and opens fire on the second target.  Aiming for its chest then head.::
CSO_Ens_Ivara says:
::hears a world ending explosion and figures that the station's multiple system failures have finally killed them all.::
SO_Ens_Ryan says:
Self: Two...
Saask says:
::Continues just standing still, a few paces behind Ivara's chair::

ACTION:
McQuade's blasts hit Saask's head and chest...but pass right through, unphasing the Vulcan.

CEO_Ens_McQuade says:
::Moves up to the next cover and Fires two more shots at the man still standing.::
SO_Ens_Ryan says:
Self: Three...

ACTION:
Two more shots strike Saask in the head. He remains standing.

Saask says:
::Continues pacing behind Ivara's chair::

ACTION:
The computer beside Setta'n begins to spark, smoke, then liquefy.

Host XO_LtCmdr_Conor says:
::quickly moves up to the second Vulcan and tries hit him with the butt of his rifle::
SO_Ens_Ryan says:
Self: FOUR! ::rolls in like the Sarge is here watching her getting it right::

ACTION:
The rifle passes right through the Vulcan.

CSO_Ens_Ivara says:
::opens an eye expecting to see bulkheads and debris floating against space.::
Host XO_LtCmdr_Conor says:
::quickly scans the room and figures out what is going on:: Self: Damn holo...
Host XO_LtCmdr_Conor says:
Ryan: Scan that computer now!
CEO_Ens_McQuade says:
::Keeps his phaser drawn and moves into the room with Conor.::

ACTION:
As the last stages of liquefaction take hold of the computer, the holographic Saask flickers and fades.

Host XO_LtCmdr_Conor says:
*OPS* There was a holographic generator in this room. Find out who was controlling it now!
SO_Ens_Ryan says:
::Picks herself from the floor getting a whiff of the acrid smoke::
Host XO_LtCmdr_Conor says:
::quickly turns over the unconscious Vulcan and pats him down for any weapons or tech and then cuffs him:: CEO: Get the CSO out of that device.
OPS_Lt_Matthew says:
@XO: Uh...I'm not sure what you mean, Commander. I haven't read any signals in or out of that room.
SO_Ens_Ryan says:
::Whips out that tricorder again:: XO: I think the computer is gone, Sir.
CEO_Ens_McQuade says:
XO:  Aye sir.  ::Moves down next to Ivara and briefly scans her with his tricorder.::
Host XO_LtCmdr_Conor says:
SO: Examine each atom remaining if you have to. I want to know what it was for and who was controlling it.
Host XO_LtCmdr_Conor says:
::looks at the CSO:: CSO: You ok?
CEO_Ens_McQuade says:
CSO:  Its Ensign McQuade,  Lt Commander Conor, and that Science officer whom I have not met.
Host XO_LtCmdr_Conor says:
CSO: If you don't make it I have your replacement here.
CEO_Ens_McQuade says:
CSO:  Ensign Ivara?  ::Scans the device on Ivara seeing if it’s safe to remove.::
SO_Ens_Ryan says:
::Takes in Ivara then the dreadful equipment:: XO: it was controlling the chair, Sir.
CSO_Ens_Ivara says:
::still can't really see, but she hears the XO's voice, in a last act of defiance she spits the blood in her mouth at whomever is standing over her, then passes out::
Setta’n says:
  ::Begins to rouse...groggily and almost insensate, does the only thing he can think of in his phaser-addled mind, and latches on to Ryan's angle with his hand -- although at this point, it's mostly to try to help him struggle to his feet::
SO_Ens_Ryan says:
::Shrieks and drops her tricorder::
Host XO_LtCmdr_Conor says:
::sees the Vulcan moving and cracks him in the back the head with his phaser rifle::
Setta’n says:
  ::Slumps to the floor again::
Host XO_LtCmdr_Conor says:
Vulcan: Nobody messes with my crew but me.
CEO_Ens_McQuade says:
::Carefully removes the mind probe and places it in his engineering kit for inspection later.::
Host XO_LtCmdr_Conor says:
::scans the Vulcan for any other devices he didn't find during the pat down:::
CEO_Ens_McQuade says:
::Removes the restraints and keeping a hand on Ivara's shoulder so she doesn't slump over to the floor.::
SO_Ens_Ryan says:
::Bents down to pick up tricorder:: XO: Thank you Sir, I think.. ::finds something on the floor:: Maybe we have a small piece of that computer after all. Only a lab can do anything of it.
CEO_Ens_McQuade says:
XO:  We should get Ivara back to the Andromeda's sickbay as soon as possible.
Host XO_LtCmdr_Conor says:
::notices the CSO has spit blood up on his uniform:: All: Remind me to teach the CSO how to appreciate when someone stops her being interrogated.
Host XO_LtCmdr_Conor says:
CEO: Get it done
Host XO_LtCmdr_Conor says:
SO: Let me know what you find. Tear this room apart for anything else we haven't spotted so far.
Host XO_LtCmdr_Conor says:
::adjusts the cuffs so they are behind the Vulcan's back and then cuffs his feet together::
CEO_Ens_McQuade says:
::Taps his badge.::  *OPS* I need an emergency transport for ensign Ivara directly to sickbay.
SO_Ens_Ryan says:
XO: Aye Sir. If I may we gathered a lot of forensic evidence, we should all be scanned.
Host XO_LtCmdr_Conor says:
::carefully rolls the Vulcan over and drags him away from the CSO::
OPS_Lt_Matthew says:
@*CEO*: Right away, Sir. Ivara only?
CEO_Ens_McQuade says:
::Taps his badge again.::  *OPS*:  It’s Ensign McQuade, but yes Ivara only.  Have a medical team standing by.
Host XO_LtCmdr_Conor says:
*OPS* Once that transport is complete, beam me and my new friend directly to the brig. Ryan will stay here to gather evidence.
OPS_Lt_Matthew says:
@*CEO/XO*: Understood.  Transport initiating.

ACTION:
Nothing happens.

Host XO_LtCmdr_Conor says:
Ryan: Room first then you can scan everyone else.
SO_Ens_Ryan says:
::Stands by oblivious to orders while she finally gets a good look at Ivara before she fades in the transporter beam::
CEO_Ens_McQuade says:
::Watches as the transport fails.::
OPS_Lt_Matthew says:
@: *XO/CEO: Uh, Sirs. There seems to be some sort of transport inhibiting field active there.
CEO_Ens_McQuade says:
XO:  Damn.  Transporter inhibitors most be in the room.  ::Begins scanning the room.::
Host XO_LtCmdr_Conor says:
All: Keep an eye on him ::walks out into the corridor to deactivate the jammers and pulls his kit bag back into the room::
Host XO_LtCmdr_Conor says:
Ryan: Make sure nobody touches my stuff either.
Host XO_LtCmdr_Conor says:
*OPS* Try again.
SO_Ens_Ryan says:
::Only Ivara doesn't disappear. Ryan snaps back to reality and starts scanning around the room::
OPS_Lt_Matthew says:
@*XO*: Still can't get a lock, Sir. Something else is interfering with transport.
Host XO_LtCmdr_Conor says:
*OPS* Well find it and let us know what it is then. ::flips open his tricorder::
Host XO_LtCmdr_Conor says:
::pops his head out the corridor again and looks up and down for anyone else nearby::
OPS_Lt_Matthew says:
@::Shields his commbadge while he sighs slightly, then uncovers it:: *XO*: Understood.
CEO_Ens_McQuade says:
::Kneels back down near Ivara and pulls a device out from under her chair.::   XO:  Sir.  I think this is it.  ::Turns off the device.::
CEO_Ens_McQuade says:
::Places it also into his kit for evaluation later.::  *OPS*: Check for transporter lock now.
Host XO_LtCmdr_Conor says:
CEO: I think I'll need to explain to SB Ops why there is a hole in one of their walls later on.
OPS_Lt_Matthew says:
@*CEO*: Got her. Transport initiating.
CEO_Ens_McQuade says:
XO:  Why?  Do you think they will actually find it?  I mean with everything else broken here.

ACTION:
Ivara's body finally dematerializes, disappearing from the room.

Host XO_LtCmdr_Conor says:
CEO: It’s pretty obvious compared to their other crappy failing systems.
SO_Ens_Ryan says:
::All her sensors catch is a chair... a bag of tools... the inhibitor and?::
SO_Ens_Ryan says:
XO: I think I found something. It's stuck under the prisoner Sir.
Host XO_LtCmdr_Conor says:
::drags the Vulcan to the corner of the room and removes the satchel and passes it to the SO::
CEO_Ens_McQuade says:
XO: Well I can repair it before we leave.
SO_Ens_Ryan says:
::Flushes a bit that she didn't dare moving next to the prisoner and grabs the satchel::
CEO_Ens_McQuade says:
::Shrugs a bit.::  XO:  But I would hate to improve on such low standards.  It would stick out a bit.
Host XO_LtCmdr_Conor says:
::rolls the Vulcan over again carefully checking for anything his missed first time around::
CEO_Ens_McQuade says:
::Continues scanning the room with his tricorder.::
Host XO_LtCmdr_Conor says:
CEO: I said tell them, not fix it for them.
Host XO_LtCmdr_Conor says:
All: I'll deal with this later on. *OPS* Beam myself and my newest friend to the brig
SO_Ens_Ryan says:
Self: Five bars of gold pressed latinum. Is that what Ivara was bought for?
OPS_Lt_Matthew says:
@*XO*: Yes sir. Initializing transport.
CEO_Ens_McQuade says:
XO:  Well one would think their internal sensors would have detected the explosion and my access into the panel.  ::Continues walking through the area scanning.::
Host XO_LtCmdr_Conor says:
::during the beamout:: SO: Overpaid for her

ACTION:
Conor and Setta'n dematerialize from the station.

@ACTION:
Aboard the Andromeda, Ivara has rematerialized in sickbay, and is receiving frantic care. Meanwhile, Conor and Setta'n materialize within the brig.

SO_Ens_Ryan says:
::Remains gaping with hands full of latinum and ears full of the XO's parting remark::
CEO_Ens_McQuade says:
SO:  Don't spend that all in one place.  ::Smiles.::  Outloud:  Looks like the rest of the room is clean.  Well not exactly clean, but at least nothing else of mention.
SO_Ens_Ryan says:
CEO: Is it true there is an Admiral aboard Andromeda Sir? ::careful tone::
Host XO_LtCmdr_Conor says:
@::look at the brig staff:: TO_Smith: Strip him and make sure he isn't hiding anything else. Lock him up and nobody talks to him unless I say so.
CEO_Ens_McQuade says:
SO:  Yes Ensign there is.  ::Pays the comment no mind since most of the crew almost never sees the Admiral these days.::
CEO_Ens_McQuade says:
::Moves through the room and out into the corridor to gather his equipment.::
SO_Ens_Ryan says:
::Slings the satchel over her shoulder thinking that should go to the head of security, the sooner the better::
Host XO_LtCmdr_Conor says:
@*CEO/SO*: Grab all of their toys and put them in our science lab for further investigation.
TO_PO1_Smith says:
@::Looks up as the XO appears, and jumps to his feet:: XO: Yes Sir! ::Moves to Setta'n's side, dragging him into a cell and starts removing the Vulcan's shirt::
CEO_Ens_McQuade says:
::Taps his badge.::  *XO*:  Looks like we are done here sir.  Nothing more to gather from the room.  We will be back on the Andromeda shortly.
CEO_Ens_McQuade says:
SO:  Looks like we have a date in science lab 2.  ::Places his equipment in his kit.::
SO_Ens_Ryan says:
CEO: Aye Sir. And I think I just turned into a donkey, maybe they can help with that. ::smiles as she gathers not only their stuff but her duffel. She needs more hands and a coffee::
Host XO_LtCmdr_Conor says:
@TO_Smith: Let me know if he starts to get chatty. If anything happens to him I'm holding you responsible. I put a hole in a station wall to fetch this one.
SO_Ens_Ryan says:
COM: *OPS*: Ryan to Andromeda. We need to beam up a chair, I'm standing by it.
CEO_Ens_McQuade says:
::Looks over the SO.::  SO: Donkey?  No I'd say more of a pack mule.  But that’s only my opinion.  ::Lets out a brief laugh.::   Shall we walk to the Andromeda?
SO_Ens_Ryan says:
CEO: You're welcome to walk Sir. I’m going with the chair.
OPS_Lt_Matthew says:
@*SO*: Yes Ma'am. Transport initiating.
CEO_Ens_McQuade says:
SO:  No one walks anymore.  ::Smiles and moves down the corridor.::

ACTION:
The chair dematerializes, being beamed to the science lab for lack of knowing where else to beam something for a science officer.

TO_PO1_Smith says:
@XO: Aye Sir!
SO_Ens_Ryan says:
::Blinks as she realizes her instructions quite lacked in precision:: CEO: I guess... If you don't mind the company after all, Sir. ::Walks out with the CEO::
CEO_Ens_McQuade says:
SO: By all means.  After you.
MO_Lt_Talie says:
@::After extended work on the Science Officer's neural and circulatory health, the doctor finally reverses the paralytic and applies a gentle stimulant::
CEO_Ens_McQuade says:
SO:  By the way the name is Tavish McQuade.  ::Would extend his hand, but the SO is hauling a good deal of equipment.::
SO_Ens_Ryan says:
CEO: Ensign Valerie Ryan, very glad to meet you today, Sir.

ACTION:
As the SO and CEO exit the hallway into the general docking ring area, officers and the occasional civilian continue to bustle about the area, seemingly utterly unaware of the torture and destruction that had taken place not so far away.
CEO_Ens_McQuade says:
SO:  It’s a pleasure Ensign Ryan.   Hell of a first day on the job isn't it.  ::Smiles thinking of his first time on the Andy.::
Host XO_LtCmdr_Conor says:
@::walks out of the brig and makes his way to the nearest TL::
SO_Ens_Ryan says:
::Fights to keep it all in her arms while the duffel rides down her shoulder by increments::
Host XO_LtCmdr_Conor says:
@::steps into TL:: TL: Docking bay
SO_Ens_Ryan says:
CEO: Sure is... Sir! ::crosses the docking ring::
CEO_Ens_McQuade says:
::Pauses.::  SO:  Wait a second.  ::Opens one of the engineering access panels in the corridor and pulls out a small grav cart.::   SO:  Here you go ensign.  A little bit easier for your travels.
SO_Ens_Ryan says:
CEO: Thank you! ::offloads everything in a heap and hurries up to the docking bay thinking she has an Admiral to see yet::
TO_Ens_Lintok says:
::Hurrying through the rush of the crowd, he stops beside the SO and CEO with a suddenly huge grin on his face:: SO: Ryan! I heard the good news! Congratulations!  ::Slaps the ensign on the shoulder, then quickly lets the crowd carry him away::
CEO_Ens_McQuade says:
::Follows along to the docking ring.::
Host XO_LtCmdr_Conor says:
@::steps out back onto the docking bay and makes his way back towards the station
SO_Ens_Ryan says:
::Gapes again and hurries up even more before anyone starts adding to the confusion::
CEO_Ens_McQuade says:
::Lets Ryan go on ahead as he most at a constant pace.::
SO_Ens_Ryan says:
@::Finally sets foot back aboard and keeps going::
CEO_Ens_McQuade says:
@::Enters the Andromeda's docking ring shortly behind Ryan.::
Host XO_LtCmdr_Conor says:
@::sees the CEO and SO coming back aboard:: CEO/SO: We'll debrief in 1 hour about today's events. I have to clean up the mess on the station in the meantime.
CEO_Ens_McQuade says:
@XO:  Aye sir.  ::Continues through the docking cooridor.::
