<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<RESUME MISSION>>>>>>>>>>>
OPS_Danforth says:
@::pacing the floor while thinking about how to get out of here, staring at the Nausicans with a great deal of interest::
CTO_Matt says:
@::wakes up and looks around::
XO_Claymore says:
@::looking around::
CO_Morgan says:
@::lying on the ground, slowly regaining consciousness::
SO_Washudoin says:
@:: Opens eyes slightly and rubs forehead and notices the strange cave-like jail::
CNS_Savar says:
@::Leaning against the wall farthest from the exit::
SO_Washudoin says:
@:: Stands up quickly and looks around::
CEO_McDuggle says:
@:: wakes up and see the cave around him::
CO_Morgan says:
@::sits up painfully and looks around::  XO: Claymore what's going on?  ::grimaces at the twinge in his ribs, although he seems to be generally in one piece::
XO_Claymore says:
@::sees everyone waking up and stands to his feet ready to brief everyone:: CO: We're prisoners sir.
SO_Washudoin says:
@XO/CO: What is this place?

ACTION: Savar can hear a grating sound from above him.  He looks up just in time to see a medium sized boulder come loose and fall towards him.

CNS_Savar says:
@::Jumps out of the way::
SO_Washudoin says:
@:: Turns head just in time to see Savar move::

ACTION: The boulder hits Savar in the foot and crushes two toes.

OPS_Danforth says:
@::moving to see if Savar is okay and looking up at where the rock came loose::
XO_Claymore says:
@::runs over to help::
OPS_Danforth says:
@CNS: Savar, you all right?  Can you move your foot?
CNS_Savar says:
@::Rolls boulder off, and takes off shoe to examine wound::
CO_Morgan says:
@XO:  Any idea as to whom?  ::breaks off as he hears the commotion behind him, wonders how the Counselor got a boulder on his foot::
XO_Claymore says:
@::points to the guards:: CO: None at all ::shaking head at Counselor's foot:: Nausicans are mercenaries
SO_Washudoin says:
@:: Sees Savar get hit::
CEO_McDuggle says:
@:: moves over to CNS and helps get rock off his foot::
OPS_Danforth says:
@::helping Savar with the boulder::
CNS_Savar says:
@::Feels toes and tries moving them:: OPS: It would appear that the last two of my toes are broken.  Nothing much.
OPS_Danforth says:
@::tearing a piece from his shirt:: Savar: Well, let me bind that together.  If we have to make a run for it, I don't want you to have to hobble along.
OPS_Danforth says:
@::begins tying the toes together::
SO_Washudoin says:
@:: Walks over to the force field and touches it to see it spark
CNS_Savar says:
@::Suddenly has an inspiration:: XO: Sir, can you come here for a second?
XO_Claymore says:
@Group: watch out for anything falling from now on ::walks over to Savar::
CO_Morgan says:
@::gets slowly to his feet and takes inventory of the crew present, notes Jadis is not among them, nor is the MO, hopes that bodes well::
CTO_Matt says:
@::stands up and looks around, assessing the tactical situation and looking for any way out::
CNS_Savar says:
@::Has the XO lean in close:: XO: Sir, they headed our wounds before.  What if we told them I was injured more severely that I actually am.  They would drop the field and we could overtake them?
CNS_Savar says:
@XO: I cannot see if they are armed are not.
OPS_Danforth says:
@::can't help overhearing being right at his feet:: CNS: Savar, we can see two of them, but there might be more.  A LOT more. ::whispering::
SO_Washudoin says:
@XO: I'll stand by the door and jump them when they walk in.
XO_Claymore says:
@CNS: They are probably armed, they are guards... I shall converse with the Captain... look like you're in pain
SO_Washudoin says:
@:: Nods at XO::
CNS_Savar says:
@::Raises eyebrow:: XO: Pain?
CNS_Savar says:
@::Manages to appear in pain::

ACTION: One of the Nausican guards moves closer to the force field, rifle ready and begins to laugh at Savar.

XO_Claymore says:
@::walks over to the Captain and turns away from the guards:: CO: We've got an opportunity ::turns to hear the Nausican::
SO_Washudoin says:
@:: Looks at Nausican and growls::
CNS_Savar says:
@::Turns head away and drops facade of pain::
OPS_Danforth says:
@Nausican: Something funny bone head?
CO_Morgan says:
@XO:  If you are referring to the counselor, I somewhat doubt it.
OPS_Danforth says:
::glaring at the Nausican::
XO_Claymore says:
@CO: Yes, I do now too.... Vulcan's cannot act, even as themselves
Host Guard says:
@::glares back at the Klingon and at Danforth:: Quiet, scum, or I'll kill you out of spite!
OPS_Danforth says:
@Nausican: I'm surprised you know what the word means.
CTO_Matt says:
@Guard:  If they wanted us dead, scum, we would have already been dead.
SO_Washudoin says:
@:: Stares straight into the Nausicans eyes and shows teeth::
CO_Morgan says:
@::in a low voice:: XO:  Well seeing how they are Nausicans, we may be able to goad them into action, but the big question, is what lies beyond them?
OPS_Danforth says:
@Nausican: Tell me something pig breath.  Why would you work for a bunch of Romulans?  Are you their latest pets?
SO_Washudoin says:
@Nausican: If you were in here now we would see who the big man is.
CNS_Savar says:
@::Stands, putting most of my weight on my good foot::
XO_Claymore says:
@CO: I'm not worried about what's beyond them... I'm worried about the crew making them vaporize us... shall we calm them?
CO_Morgan says:
@XO:  Yes, I want to know more about what we are up against before we go charging off blindly.
CTO_Matt says:
 @::moves over to the CO and whispers::  CO:  Sir, just before I was stunned, I saw one     of the intruders.  He was green.
CEO_McDuggle says:
@:: keeps close eye on guard waiting for any opening::
CNS_Savar says:
::Takes the opportunity to sit on the fallen boulder::
OPS_Danforth says:
@Nausican: Come on you toad.  Tell me about that.  You a Romulan gopher boy now?

ACTION: The guard makes a couple of quick adjustments to the force field and it changes color to green.  He raises his rifle and shoots through it at the SO, putting a hole in his right shoulder. The guard them aims at Danforth.

SO_Washudoin says:
@:: Drops to one knee and stands up to charge the Nausican::
CNS_Savar says:
@::Moves to SO's side, holding him back::  ::Rips cloth off of shirt::
OPS_Danforth says:
@::standing ground:: Nausican: I thought the Nausicans had more pride than to work for the Romulans.
Guard says:
    @OPS: You're next.
CNS_Savar says:
@SO: At ease, Ensign.
SO_Washudoin says:
@:: Stops, with a very angry scowl on his face::
XO_Claymore says:
@::tries to say something but can't think of anything:: Guard: Hey hold it... they'll stay quiet
XO_Claymore says:
@OPS: Don't Lieutenant
CNS_Savar says:
@::Takes cloth and begins to dab at wound.
SO_Washudoin says:
   @:: Grinds teeth in pain::
SO_Washudoin says:
   @CNS: Sorry.
CNS_Savar says:
@SO: Your Klingon physiology should heal that fast enough without my help.
CO_Morgan says:
@::looks up as the guard opens fire::  OPS:  Danforth, get down!  That's an order.  I need everyone ALIVE and in one piece.
OPS_Danforth says:
@::backing up quietly and methodically until I get shot then I go down in pain::

ACTION: The guard shoots Danforth in the knee, obliterating it.

OPS_Danforth says:
AAAHHHHH!!!!!
CO_Morgan says:
@::thinks wonderful::
OPS_Danforth says:
@::clutching knee::
XO_Claymore says:
@::curses:: CO: This isn't going well.... ::moves over to Danforth::
OPS_Danforth says:
@::taking controlled breaths and trying to alleviate the pain::
CTO_Matt says:
@::moves over to Dan and tries to control the bleeding::
CEO_McDuggle says:
@:: moves over to OPS and helps bind wound::
OPS_Danforth says:
@XO: Sorry, sir.  I was trying to goad him...into...giving information...about...the Romulans...
XO_Claymore says:
@OPS: You owe me a uniform ::rips off a sleeve and wraps it around Danforth's thigh cutting off the blood slightly::

ACTION: The guard moves back as he looks down the corridor.

CO_Morgan says:
@::turns back to the CTO, rather disgusted by both the Nausicans and his crews brashness:: CTO:  Green did you say?  Yes...that makes sense.  The question now is where did the Orions get all that hardware out there, and what do they plan to do with it.
SO_Washudoin says:
@CNS: yes:: Grins::
CMO_Utoo says:
Self: Finally....COMM:SFC: Well I'm missing my crew, and the support ship and I'm hoping you can tell me where they are...
CNS_Savar says:
@::Turns to Danforth:: Self: What we need is some sort of splint...
CTO_Matt says:
@::whispers to Dan as he tries to control the bleeding::  OPS:  They aren't Romulans, they are probably Orion pirates or the Orion syndicate.
OPS_Danforth says:
@::whispering back and gritting my teeth:: CTO: I know...but...hoping...that...they'd let something...slip.
SO_Washudoin says:
@::Stands to feet and walks over to sit on a rock::

ACTION: An Orion comes into view outside flanked by two Jem Hadar.  he shuts down the field and all three enter.  The Jem Hadar have their rifles trained on Morgan and Claymore.

.
CTO_Matt says:
@CO:  Sir, they probably stole the ships, in similar ways in how they took our ship and that of the Valdez.
CO_Morgan says:
@::looks down at Danforth's leg:: CTO:  Do what you can...
XO_Claymore says:
@::stands up::
SO_Washudoin says:
@:: Sees Jem Hadar and stands back up::
CO_Morgan says:
@::looks up at the Jem Hadar, with a mixture of hatred and dread::
CNS_Savar says:
@OPS: Take as much weight off that foot.  Try to raise it above your body.
CNS_Savar says:
@OPS: You'll have to lie down first.  It will control the flow of blood, plus you'll be easier to treat for shock.
Caynar says:
@Morgan: Captain Morgan, is it not?
CEO_McDuggle says:
@:: Sees Jem Hadar and moves to a flanking position::
OPS_Danforth says:
@::following Savar's orders::
CNS_Savar says:
@::Keeps one eye on the situation, and one ear::
CO_Morgan says:
@Caynar:  Yes, and who do I have the pleasure of speaking to?
SO_Washudoin says:
@:: Starts walking slowly to the side of the Orion and Jem Hadar::
CTO_Matt says:
@::watches the Orion and Jem Hadar and the Nausicans::
XO_Claymore says:
@::puts his hand behind his back and waves at McDuggle to stand down::
CO_Morgan says:
@::runs his eyes over the J'H and notes the lack of White tubes or standard uniform, the plot thickens::
CEO_McDuggle says:
@:: Sees XO sign and stays where he's at::
CNS_Savar says:
@::Wishes Keely was here, and knows that Danforth wishes the same::
CO_Morgan says:
@Caynar:  Are you what is passing for a Vorta these days?
Caynar says:
@::Sees the movements of the SO and CEO:: Morgan, if you value your own life and that of your crew, I suggest you tell your dogs to stand down.  We have already shown you that we mean business.
SO_Washudoin says:
@:: Gets a little farther but stops as not to look to suspicious, stands back a little::
SO_Washudoin says:
@:: Stands back a little more ::
CO_Morgan says:
@::glances over at the crew, and nods for them to relax, not wanting anyone else to get shot::
SO_Washudoin says:
@:: Nods at the Captain::
XO_Claymore says:
@::turns and motions for every to be near the back wall::
CEO_McDuggle says:
@:: relax some but is still uneasy::
CNS_Savar says:
@::Stays where he is, and holds Danforth down::
CNS_Savar says:
@OPS: We'll be fine.
Caynar says:
@Morgan: Very good.  I am called Caynar.  I am in command of this facility.  I must thank you for your vessel, Captain.  It will be very useful to us.
SO_Washudoin says:
@:: Walks back to where he was sitting::
CO_Morgan says:
@Caynar:  You are so very welcome, is there anything else or shall we just be on our way?
XO_Claymore says:
@::tries not to look at the CO and keeps his eyes looked on those of a mean looking JH::
SO_Washudoin says:
@:: Stares at Caynar with his glaring eyes::
OPS_Danforth says:
@CNS: ::whispering:: curious that they didn't kill us.  Lucky, yes, but there's something more.
Caynar says:
@Morgan: You will be on your way, Captain, but your crew will remain here.  It seems you have something I need.
CNS_Savar says:
@OPS: They may want information, or our services...
CTO_Matt says:
@::judges his distance to the nearest JH, waiting to see if the Captain makes any moves for a fight::
OPS_Danforth says:
@CNS: Bingo.
CNS_Savar says:
@OPS: Pardon?
OPS_Danforth says:
::thinking about old Earth colloquialisms:: @CNS: Sorry, Savar.  It's an old Earth expression meaning you hit the nail on the head.
CNS_Savar says:
@::Understands mechanical reference:: OPS: Where else would you strike the nail?
OPS_Danforth says:
::shrinking realizing he used another colloquialism:: @CNS: I meant, that you were correct in your assessment.
CNS_Savar says:
@OPS: Ah...
CO_Morgan says:
@Caynar:  Really, perhaps my recipe for brownies?  Or just my charming personality.  If you really think I am going to aid you, you are sorely mistaken.
XO_Claymore says:
@::gets worried, the Captain's sarcasm doesn't help::
SO_Washudoin says:
@:: Laughs inside, keeps mean look on Caynar::
SO_Washudoin says:
@:: Wishes he could get his hands on one of them::
CO_Morgan says:
@::stands watching Caynar's reaction, hoping he hasn't pushed too far::
OPS_Danforth says:
@CNS: Have to admit, Savar...this hurts.
CNS_Savar says:
@OPS: I would assume that would be in pain.  Unfortunately, there is little we can do.  I can use a nerve pinch on you and render you unconscious, but I doubt the Captain would approve.
Caynar says:
@::sighs:: Morgan: I require your command codes, Captain.  Rest assured we have our own ways of extracting them.  The Cardassians learned a few things from us.  To make thing simple, however, we will execute a member of your crew every five minutes until you provide us the correct codes.  We will start with that one.  ::points at Savar::
Caynar says:
@Morgan: I never liked Vulcans anyway.  Too honest.
CNS_Savar says:
@::Notices change in conversation and stands::
CNS_Savar says:
@CO: Captain, my life is not worth the command codes.
SO_Washudoin says:
@:: looks at CO then at CNS, then back at Caynar and growls quietly::
XO_Claymore says:
@::eyes widen... maybe we should give them the self-destruct codes?::
OPS_Danforth says:
@::begins feeling defensive of Savar and wanting to do SOMETHING...feeling helpless::
Caynar says:
@Morgan: We will then execute the pesky Klingon.
CO_Morgan says:
@::blanches slightly at the threat, doubts that Caynar is bluffing::  Caynar:  That won't be necessary...but the codes are voice keyed, I have to be present in order to change over operational command.
OPS_Danforth says:
@CO: Don't do it Captain.  Don't give them what they want.  I'd rather die first.
SO_Washudoin says:
@:: Goes to move forward.....but remembers the orders::
OPS_Danforth says:
@::hoping his brashness will somehow help the Captain's negotiations::
XO_Claymore says:
@::doesn't say anything about his codes being needed for some things as well... stalling for time::
CO_Morgan says:
@Danforth:  I'd rather that not be necessary...
CMO_Utoo says:
::Turns to the Ensign at the science station:: Ensign: Inform me when the vessel from SFC arrives please ::Sits in the command chair::

ACTION: Two more guards, A Chalnoth and a Betazoid come into the cave.

OPS_Danforth says:
@::trying to shield my mind::
CNS_Savar says:
@::Notices Betazoid, and activated full mental shields::
SO_Washudoin says:
@:: Notices the other two, turns and looks::
CEO_McDuggle says:
@:: starts running a chant through his mind::
Caynar says:
@Morgan: ::points to the two new guards:: You will go with them.
CO_Morgan says:
@Caynar:  You realize to fully activate the codes, the XO will have to be present as well.  ::hopes Claymore picks up on what he is planning::
XO_Claymore says:
@::wished the Captain wouldn't have said that knowing full well he's planning something::
Caynar says:
@Morgan: No, he won't, Captain.  And just to prove it to you...
Caynar is now known as AGMDave.
Host AGMDave says:
ACTION: Caynar pulls a Klingon disruptor from his holster and stuns Claymore heavily.
XO_Claymore says:
@::falls to the ground::
CO_Morgan says:
@Caynar:  That really wasn't necessary.
Caynar says:
@Morgan: I know.  ::grins::
OPS_Danforth says:
@::glaring::
OPS_Danforth says:
@::sliding over to the XO's inert body::
SO_Washudoin says:
@:: Goes to charge Caynar, looks at CO::
OPS_Danforth says:
@::checking for life signs and monitoring his pulse::
CO_Morgan says:
@::shakes his head slightly at the SO, now isn't the time, not yet::
OPS_Danforth says:
@CO: He's okay, Captain...just stunned. ::glares at Caynar::
SO_Washudoin says:
@:: at ease ::
Caynar says:
@Morgan:  ::motions towards the guards:: Shall we, Captain?
CO_Morgan says:
@::gives Caynar a long look, then nods resignedly::
CTO_Matt says:
@::listens to the conversation and watches the Captain::
SO_Washudoin says:
@:: Watches the CO's reaction::

ACTION: The JH and Nausican guards cover the crew as Caynar and his guards lead Morgan from the cell.

CNS_Savar says:
@::Realized when the CO leaves, and with JJ out, I'm in command::
SO_Washudoin says:
@:: Walks over to the injured::
OPS_Danforth says:
@CNS: Savar, I was thinking...where is everyone else?  Jadis?  Keely?  Maybe they escaped detection and are on-board the ship.
CNS_Savar says:
@OPS: That's unknown at this time.
CTO_Matt says:
@::watches as the Orion and the Captain leave::
OPS_Danforth says:
@CNS: I hate the waiting.  I wish we could help the Captain someway.
SO_Washudoin says:
@:: Looks at CNS and OPS and shrugs::
XO_Claymore says:
@::begins to move around a little:: ::moan::
OPS_Danforth says:
@CNS: What kind of Betazoid works with these low-lifes?
CNS_Savar says:
@OPS: I couldn't even venture a guess as to what he gets out of it.
OPS_Danforth says:
@CNS: And how are these Jem Hadar surviving without the white?  They can't have very much of it.
CO_Morgan says:
@::walks along stiffly between his captors, wondering what he can do, all the while concentrating on the mind blanking technique Jadis taught him to avoid telepaths::
CO_Morgan says:
@::hopes he's doing it right, rather than sending out mental images of the Rockies in wintertime::

ACTION: Morgan is escorted to a small room and told to stand still.  Caynar activates a device on his belt.

OPS_Danforth says:
@CNS: They have some pretty advanced technology.  One-way force fields and obviously some serious mining equipment to bore through this rock.
SO_Washudoin says:
@:: Looks at XO coming to::
CTO_Matt says:
@::notices the XO coming to::
XO_Claymore says:
@::moans more, sits up a little:: Oh... why did he do that? ::shakes head a little trying to get rid of the feeling::
CO_Morgan says:
@::looks around his surroundings, trying to gain clues about his captors::

ACTION: Morgan, Caynar and his guards are beamed to the bridge of the Hornet. The bridge is full of beings from all races working to clear the battered bridge and get consoles working.

CO_Morgan says:
@::not too happy to find himself back on the Hornet::
CO_Morgan says:
@::wonders again at the number of different races he sees::
XO_Claymore says:
@Group: report? ::sitting with his hands over his head::
CNS_Savar says:
@XO: They've taken the Captain.  Probably to the Hornet.
CTO_Matt says:
@XO:  Sir, the Captain was taken away, just the two original guards left.
Caynar says:
@::sees that one console is working and heads Morgan to it::
CO_Morgan says:
@::wonders what he can do to stall for time::
OPS_Danforth says:
@XO: No news on the other crewmembers either.  Looks like only the two Nausicans are standing guard.
XO_Claymore says:
@::shakes his head very hard... makes a few sounds:: CNS: you keep the group for a while longer, I suggest passiveness, give me a minute to get my head straight.
CNS_Savar says:
@XO: No problem, sir.
CO_Morgan says:
@::looks at the console::  Caynar:  What you want a sensor sweep?
SO_Washudoin says:
@:: Sits back down ::
Caynar says:
@Morgan: The Betazoid here will be able to tell if you are doing anything other than you have been ordered, Captain.  I suggest you input your command codes.
OPS_Danforth says:
@CNS: Savar, is there any way to make a Betazoid unable to accurately read minds?
XO_Claymore says:
@::lays back down on the ground... holds himself where he was shot, feeling for any major damage::
CO_Morgan says:
@::looks at Caynar again, then back to the console.  Continues to picture serene mountain trails, and snow covered woods that he remembers from his youth as he reaches down to the console::
CNS_Savar says:
@OPS: Not with my power, no.  A very powerful telepath may be able to overtake their mind and upset the balance for a few moments...
OPS_Danforth says:
@CNS: Is there anyway we could add to your power?  Through a mind-meld or something?
SO_Washudoin says:
@CNS: Can't you input a telepathic suggestion in one of the guards?
CTO_Matt says:
@::moves over to Savar and whispers to him::  CNS:  Isn't there a way you can make them believe that we aren't here?
CTO_Matt says:
@CNS:  Or to have one shot the other?
XO_Claymore says:
@SO: You should know that Vulcans are not that type of telepaths ::begins to sit up straight::
CNS_Savar says:
@OPS: Unless we have another telepath here, no.  SO: I don't know.  I'd rather not try.  CTO: It's not as easy as you think.
SO_Washudoin says:
@:: Nods::
SO_Washudoin says:
@XO: I think Savar is a strong enough telepath, remember the magicians ball.
CNS_Savar says:
@SO: Vulcans are touch telepaths.  Very few can project thoughts, and then only a little bit and very weakly.
XO_Claymore says:
@::nods to Savar's comments::
CNS_Savar says:
@SO: Were it within my power to project those kinds of thoughts, would we still be in here?
OPS_Danforth says:
@CNS: If we could lure one of the Nausicans in here, how long would it take you to take control of his mind, and for how long?
SO_Washudoin says:
@:: Nods:: CNS: You know better then me. :: laughs out loud::
CNS_Savar says:
@OPS: Were you to lure one in here, and for me to take control of his mind would be the equal of mind rape.  I would violate him in a way that you cannot even understand.
SO_Washudoin says:
@:: XO/ CNS: we need to do something we can't just sit here.:: Still laughing slightly::
XO_Claymore says:
@OPS: Mister Danforth, the last time you started to suggest such things they came in here and shot you... I'd suggest we not do anything but wait for Starfleet to come and rescue us, they shall be sending out search parties any moment because the Captain and I were reporting in to them occasionally
SO_Washudoin says:
@:: Remembers the pain in his shoulder and grimaces a bit::
CO_Morgan says:
@::stops his hand short of the console, looks back at Caynar::  Caynar:  How do I know that you won't just start shooting my crew after I input the codes?

ACTION: There is a small shout on the bridge of the Hornet as the view screen becomes active.  The view is of the USS Cortez being painted black.

CO_Morgan says:
@::looks at the view screen and grits his teeth::
Caynar says:
@Morgan: ::grinning::  You don't Captain, but one trusting hand deserves another.
CO_Morgan says:
@Caynar:  What reason do I have to trust a pirate?  Before I do anything, I want to know what happened to the rest of my crew.
Caynar says:
@Morgan: Your crew has been segregated into different cells, by gender, ::grins again::
CO_Morgan says:
@Caynar:  Someday we will meet on less advantageous terms for you...your actions will determine whether you live or die.
Caynar says:
@Morgan: I look forward to that day, Captain.  The codes, please.
OPS_Danforth says:
@XO: Sir, may I speak freely?
XO_Claymore says:
@OPS: granted
SO_Washudoin says:
@:: Looks at OPS::
OPS_Danforth says:
@XO: I'm just trying to think of contingency plans.  We can't rely on Starfleet to get us out.  They don't know where we are anymore than we know where we are.   We have to think of something if we can.  I'm not suggesting we implement them yet.
CTO_Matt says:
@::stands, taking in the situation and waits for an opportunity to take action to escape::
CTO_Matt says:
@OPS:  From the look of this cell, I would guess that we are in one of the asteroids that surround the system.
XO_Claymore says:
@OPS: I understand you are suggesting, but at the same time, the last time you suggested something you lost a kneecap. Starfleet knows the general location where we are at and as soon as a ship comes into the system we were in the search will be narrowed. I am more than certain we are on the planet that we had seen from outside

ACTION: The guards move closer to Morgan and signal the Nausican guards near the cell.  The Nausicans raise their rifles.

OPS_Danforth says:
@XO: Maybe we should consider taking action now?
CTO_Matt says:
@::look at the Nausicans::  XO:  Sir, something is happening.
SO_Washudoin says:
@:: hears the Nausican move and looks at what they are doing::
OPS_Danforth says:
@XO: This doesn't look good...Starfleet can't find us if we're dead.
XO_Claymore says:
@::stands::
CEO_McDuggle says:
@XO: Sir the guards:: points to the opening
OPS_Danforth says:
@::begins to stand to face the Nausicans::
XO_Claymore says:
@::looks at SO:: SO: What is it that Klingons say about death?
CO_Morgan says:
@::glares at Caynar, then starts to enter the code...::
SO_Washudoin says:
@ALL: Today is a good day to die!

Meanwhile back on the station…

CMO_Utoo says:
@::Is on the station worrying about the crew::
CMO_Utoo says:
::Looks at the view screen and opens a channel to Starfleet command:: COM:SFC: This is Doctor Utoo, please respond...
Starfleet Command says:
COMM: AS: Arcadia Station, this is Starfleet Command.  We read you.  What is your situation?
CMO_Utoo says:
::Grumbles cause Starfleet is ignoring him:: Self: Sure, when they need us...you cant hide from them...but when I need them...its like looking for a gem in open space
CMO_Utoo says:
::Waits for Starfleet command to reply to his message::
Starfleet Command says:
COMM: AS: Arcadia, the USS Cortez has been dispatched to the area.
CMO_Utoo says:
COMM:SFC: can you tell me their last known location? Sorry for the hassle, but my dad always used to say "You never know how good a job has been done until you do it yourself". I have the ship that brought me here from Betazed, if I have the coordinates then I can check it out...I know something isn't right...call it trill intuition...
Starfleet Command says:
COMM:AS: The USS Cortez reported they were at the rendezvous coordinates nearly an hour ago.  They have not reported since.
CMO_Utoo says:
COMM:SFC: Even more reason for me to go and look...there are a lot of lives at stake...what can it hurt to take a ship out for a stroll? If we find them then I'll head back...and if not then it was worthwhile
Starfleet Command says:
COMM:AS: Unfortunately, the Trinity is needed elsewhere, Lt.  We will send another vessel.  Don't loose this one, please.
CMO_Utoo says:
COMM:SFC: Understood...what is the name of the vessel? What class is she and who is in command? Oh and how long until she reaches Arcadia?
Starfleet Command says:
COMM:AS: The vessel should be there momentarily, Lt.  Admiral Pershing was bringing it in himself.  He is aware of the situation.
CMO_Utoo says:
COMM:SFC: Thank you, I will check in when I find something, Arcadia Out

ACTION: A vessel appears on Arcadia's LRS it is an Intrepid Class.

 CMO_Utoo says:
<ENS> Arman: Uh sir, there is a vessel on Long range scans, its an intrepid class, on its way here
Adm_Pershing says:
COMM: AS: Lt. Utoo, this is Admiral Pershing.  Stand by to be beamed aboard.
CMO_Utoo says:
COMM: Adm: Acknowledged... ::Stands up in the open away from everyone::

ACTION: Utoo is beamed aboard the Intrepid Class right to the bridge.

CMO_Utoo says:
::Looks around:: Adm: Is this the ship I think it is?
Adm_Pershing says:
Utoo: Take a look at the plaque, Lt.
CMO_Utoo says:
::Sees the plaque and smiles:: Adm: Its kind of like returning home after a long vacation. Shall we head out? ::Looks at the view screen::
Adm_Pershing says:
Utoo: We are already underway.  We should be there in a few minutes.
CMO_Utoo says:
Adm: Very well, where shall I sit? ::Looks around::
CMO_Utoo says:
::Waits for the Thomas to arrive at the Last known coordinates of the Hornet and Cortez::
