#::on the Bridge waiting for the latest report::

Host CO_Morgan says:
::in Ops waiting for the Skree vessel and the Blockade runner to arrive.  Feels a little uncomfortable being out of uniform::

CIV_Charn says:
::exits the Turbolift and arrives at OPS, still wondering if she has too much skin or the outfit has really little fabric::

CEO_McDuggle says:
::has change in to the slave clothing and waiting for the ship to arrive::

Host CO_Morgan says:
::turns to look at the new arrival on in OPS, smiles at Jadis...smile gets bigger as he sees her outfit:: CIV:  Been reading Kirk's accounts of the alternate universe?

CMO_Cook says:
::has changed in to the slave clothing, still trying to sort out this new heart and all.::

CIV_Charn says:
::rolls her eyes... and then shakes her head, defeated:: CO: I am afraid so.

SO_Llewellyn says:
::standing next to Donnie, feels for him, smiles at him::

XO_Claymore says:
#::hates the waiting game.... decides to contact OPS::

Host CO_Morgan says:
Jadis:  Ever wonder what our alternates are like over there?

Host AGMDave says:
ACTION: A small vessel shows up on LRS.  It is the Blockade runner.

XO_Claymore says:
#COMM: Arc: SFI always this slow?

CIV_Charn says:
::raises an eyebrow at the question:: CO: Honestly, no. But I am sure that my counterpart is as principled as I am.

CMO_Cook says:
::smiles back at Llewellyn, trying to figure out really what is going on.::

Host CO_Morgan says:
COMM: Thomas:  Slower...wait a minute...here comes our ride I think.

CEO_McDuggle says:
::moves over to the CMO:: CMO: so doc how does it feel to have something mechanical in you

CSO_Washudoin says:
#:: Sitting back on the bridge, configuring his console::

CMO_Cook says:
CEO: Smiles, probably just like having nano probes swimming in your veins, I guess I will get used to it

SO_Llewellyn says:
~~~CMO: Can you hear me? ~~~

CEO_McDuggle says:
CMO: you will

CMO_Cook says:
~~~~SO: As sweet as ever ~~~~

XO_Claymore says:
#CSO: Is the runner out there?

SO_Llewellyn says:
::smiles and blushes::

CSO_Washudoin says:
#XO: Yes Sir just barely came on sensors.

Host CO_Morgan says:
::opens channel to the Blockade Runner::  COMM: Runner:  Green Lantern, this is Arcadia, please authenticate codes.

CIV_Charn says:
::feels that it would be the right occasion to fidget, but wisely refrains. It's been a while::

CNS_Savar says:
#::Arrives on the Bridge of the Thomas::

Host AGMDave says:
ACTION: The blockade runner does not answer.  Instead the response comes from the Skree scout ship that is materializing on sensors.

XO_Claymore says:
#CNS: Welcome aboard, I think we're about to start here. Take the Conn. if you will.

CNS_Savar says:
#XO: Aye.

CMO_Cook says:
~~~~SO: So how come I never got to see that outfit before ::grins:: ~~~~

SO_Llewellyn says:
::hopes she won't catch her death of cold in this revealing slave outfit::

Host CO_Morgan says:
::wishes not for the first time he could get a hold of one of those Skree cloaks::

CSO_Washudoin says:
#XO: Sir there is a Skree scout ship on sensors just materialized.

CNS_Savar says:
#::Sits down at the Conn., and brings up the console settings for his personal efficient use::

XO_Claymore says:
#CNS: Alert all personnel, prepare to disembark

SO_Llewellyn says:
~~~CMO: I never had it before... if you like it I can try to keep it..... for later... ::grins back:: ~~~

CMO_Cook says:
::just smiles::

CNS_Savar says:
#*All* : Prepare for departure.

Host CO_Morgan says:
Jadis:  Just think of the trouble we could get into with that ..::motions towards the scout ship::

Host Skren says:
COMM: AS: This is Commander Skren of the Ghostshark.  Prepare to board the Assigned ship.

CNS_Savar says:
#XO: Shall I contact the station for departure clearance?

CIV_Charn says:
::starts walking with him:: CO: Why do I dread the moment you mention the word "trouble"?

CSO_Washudoin says:
# :: Turns to Sci.2 and fiddles with some systems right quick and returns back to station::

Host CO_Morgan says:
COMM:  Ghostshark:  Roger Commander.  Teams are assembled and ready.

XO_Claymore says:
#CNS: yeap, we'll do this one by the book

CIV_Charn says:
::she finally realizes what looks odd about him and a hand reaches to caress his face::

CNS_Savar says:
#COMM: Arcadia: Arcadia Station, this is the USS Thomas requesting departure clearance.

Host Skren says:
COMM: AS: Affirmative.  And my name is not Roger.

Host CO_Morgan says:
::smiles at Jadis caress, as the skin is still sensitive from the recent shave it sends chills down his spine::

CIV_Charn says:
::withdraws her hand as she realizes a couple of indiscreet stares:: CO: ::in a low voice:: It is a very interesting change, captain.

CMO_Cook says:
::wonders how much of a draft it would take to causes Heather’s out fit to fly up, and then it clicks that he is not the only one who can see all this::  ~~~SO: Next time you go as a slave, wear move and save this stuff for a private show:: ~~~~

Host CO_Morgan says:
Jadis:  I thought it was appropriate, besides I am sure I will be plenty scruffy in a few days.

SO_Llewellyn says:
::turns red::

SO_Llewellyn says:
~~~CMO: I am not that revealing am I? ~~~

XO_Claymore says:
#CNS: try them again

Host AGMDave says:
ACTION: The Blockade runner is now within transporter range.

CNS_Savar says:
#XO: Aye, sir.  ::Would have just waited... human impatience...::

CIV_Charn says:
::gives him a small smile:: CO: I guess so...

CNS_Savar says:
#COMM: AS: Arcadia, this is the Thomas, requesting departure clearance.

XO_Claymore says:
#::thinks the schedule is suffering::

Host CO_Morgan says:
<Lt._Jones>:  COMM: Thomas:  You are cleared, Thomas.  Good luck.

Host CO_Morgan says:
All:  Let's get this show on the road.  ::heads for TR::

CNS_Savar says:
#COMM: AS: Luck is illogical, although the humans may appreciate it.

CMO_Cook says:
~~~~SO: Just as long as the  wind doesn’t blow south you are fine ~~~~

CNS_Savar says:
#::Closes channel and plots the course provided by Arcadia Station::

SO_Llewellyn says:
::follows CO:: ~~~CMO: don't stare it's rude... ::laughs:: ~~~

XO_Claymore says:
#CNS: Take us out 1/4 impulse, inform me when we are clear

CIV_Charn says:
::walks towards the transporter room, trying to disregard the thought about clothing in her mind. It is a means to an end, nothing more. A perfectly logical explanation::

Host CO_Morgan says:
::arrives at the TR, nods to the TR Chief as he steps on pad and waits for the rest of the team to get settled::

CNS_Savar says:
#XO: One quarter impulse, forward.

CMO_Cook says:
::looks up and follows everyone::

CSO_Washudoin says:
# :: Watches the sensors ::

CEO_McDuggle says:
:: steps on to transporter pad::

CIV_Charn says:
::steps on the pad::

CMO_Cook says:
::steps on the padd::

SO_Llewellyn says:
::steps on the padd::

Host AGMDave says:
ACTION: The Away team beams over to the Orion ship.

CEO_McDuggle says:
@::materializes on Orion ship::

Host CO_Morgan says:
@:: to no one in particular::  Not exactly roomy, eh?

SO_Llewellyn says:
@::materializes on the Orion ship::

CNS_Savar says:
#::Efficiently pilots the best course out of the station:: XO: Clearing station perimeter... now.

CMO_Cook says:
@::materializes on the ship::

CIV_Charn says:
@::materializes on the ship and looks around:: CO: Cozy?

CMO_Cook says:
@::wonders if this ship can get any smaller and if that smell could be any worse::  CIV:  Yeah, book me the next trip

XO_Claymore says:
#CSO: Get a channel to the captain. CNS: Bring us into formation, for the moment

Host CO_Morgan says:
@::gets first good whiff of the air::  Jadis:  Hopefully we won't be here that long.

SO_Llewellyn says:
@::smells: old shoes and lima beans, Thinks: Huh? How odd....::

CSO_Washudoin says:
# XO: Acknowledged

CIV_Charn says:
@::raises an eyebrow, and bites back a comment about not being a travel agent. Sarcasm.... she shakes her head::

CSO_Washudoin says:
#:: Open up a channel to the captain::

CSO_Washudoin says:
#XO: Channel open Sir.

XO_Claymore says:
#*CO*: Sir, if you've got a moment, I have a last minute idea

CEO_McDuggle says:
@CO: it could be worse we could be in those :: points to manacles::

Host CO_Morgan says:
@::sits down on the deck with his back to the wall::  All: Might as well get comfortable, we don't have much to do...

CNS_Savar says:
#::Pilots the Thomas behind and to the left of the lead ship, and slightly above::

CIV_Charn says:
@CO: The trip is not a long one, and I am sure we will be found suitable accommodations for our current station afterwards. ::leaves the rest of the thought unsaid, it won't be much more comfortable::

SO_Llewellyn says:
@::spots the manacles:: CO: Are we supposed to put those on? ::points::

CMO_Cook says:
@::points to the wall:: CO: Just don’t lean on that and you should be fine

Host CO_Morgan says:
@COMM:  XO:  What is it Mr. Claymore ::shakes his head at the SO::

Host AGMDave says:
ACTION: The Skree vessel grabs the Orion ship in a tractor beam and the AT can feel the ship moving.

SO_Llewellyn says:
@::thinks: good::

XO_Claymore says:
#CO: I know that the Thomas will break off early on to avoid being detected, but perhaps we should go on ahead. Create a little diversion so you guys can slip in a bit easier?

CIV_Charn says:
@::glances at Heather and her mention of the manacles... she's definitely not going to use them::

Host CO_Morgan says:
@Jadis: Always looking at the bright side eh?

CNS_Savar says:
#XO: Sir, I am no longer receiving ID code from the Skree ship... they have cloaked.

CMO_Cook says:
@::finds a spot and takes a seat leaning against a box::

CIV_Charn says:
@CO: Always. One of my two defects, the other being my pets of choice ::her eyes twinkle at him with a hint of mischief::

SO_Llewellyn says:
@::withers slightly under Jadis' glance, Thinks: Hopes she did not think I wanted to.... wear them::

CEO_McDuggle says:
@:: find as comfortable spot as he can finds and tries to get some sleep till they arrive where ever::

Host CO_Morgan says:
@ COMM: XO:  That might not be a bad idea.  Keep them thinking about a direct approach.  Try not to get my ship shot up too much.

XO_Claymore says:
#CNS: Don't worry about that, would you send out an ID signal if you were cloaked?

SO_Llewellyn says:
@::goes to sit next to Donnie, but keeps an eye on the rest of the crew.::

CNS_Savar says:
#XO: I was merely relaying the data as it came in.  The ID code disappeared before they cloaked

XO_Claymore says:
#CO: Sir, you know me, why would I do that?

CMO_Cook says:
@::sees Heather coming over and moves over to clear her a space::

SO_Llewellyn says:
@::smiles at his courtesy:: ~~~CMO: So, how well do you know the rest of the crew? ~~~

Host CO_Morgan says:
@*XO*:  That's why I felt the need to say it, Mr. Claymore.  Stay out of trouble, and don't push your luck.

CMO_Cook says:
@~~~~SO: Some of them better then others, why? ~~~~

CIV_Charn says:
@::stays standing, her mind keeping an accurate check of the time::

SO_Llewellyn says:
@~~~CMO: I was wondering what you could tell me about them...~~~

XO_Claymore says:
#*CO*: Understood, see you when.... I see you. Thomas out.

SO_Llewellyn says:
@::is really feeling good that her telepathy is working so well::

SO_Llewellyn says:
@::wonders if it is just because it is with Donnie::

XO_Claymore says:
#CNS: Set a course for the Orion Base, Warp 8

CNS_Savar says:
#XO: Course set.  Warp speed set.  Engaging at your command.

CMO_Cook says:
@~~~~SO: not much really, I haven’t spent allot of personal time with anyone.  The only one I have really talked to was Dr. Calahan ~~~~

Host CO_Morgan says:
@::turns to the AT::  AT:  I just want everyone to remember, no heroics.  We do our job and get out with the information.

SO_Llewellyn says:
@~~~CMO: Oh... Keely... I like her, but she is hard to know. ~~~

XO_Claymore says:
@::dramatically:: CNS: Engage

CIV_Charn says:
@::nods at Morgan, although she is sure he knows she's not into uncalled-for heroic stuff::

CNS_Savar says:
#::Uses Vulcan control to not roll eyes, and pushes the appropriate button with his left index finger::

CMO_Cook says:
@::nods at the captain::

Host AGMDave says:
ACTION: After the appropriate amount of travel time, all vessels are in position.  The Skree vessel decloaks just outside the Orion-held system

CEO_McDuggle says:
@:: stands up wondering where they might be::

XO_Claymore says:
#CNS: Bring us in fast... CSO: Ready a full spread of torpedoes

CNS_Savar says:
#::Comes out of warp::

CIV_Charn says:
@::stands up, as the sound tells her they have dropped out of warp::

Host AGMDave says:
ACTION: The Skree vessel hails the Orions and two destroyers decloak.

CSO_Washudoin says:
#XO: Acknowledged. : Gets torpedoes ready :: All set Sir

CNS_Savar says:
#XO: Evasive patterns alpha, beta, delta, and gamma ready.

SO_Llewellyn says:
@::stands, smoothing her skirt, making sure all her assets are covered::

Host AGMDave says:
ACTION: A third destroyer decloaks starboard aft of the Thomas and fires plasma torpedoes.

Host CO_Morgan says:
@::feels the change in the inertial dampers, gets up off the deck and stretches out the kinks, thinking he is getting too old for this stuff::

CMO_Cook says:
@::stands up::

CNS_Savar says:
#::Sees torpedoes incoming, and attempts evasive maneuver::

XO_Claymore says:
#CSO: Fire at any available targets, ::waits a few moments:: now

CSO_Washudoin says:
#:: Fires::

XO_Claymore says:
#CNS: Get us out of here... pull us back to position three

CSO_Washudoin says:
#XO: Shots are off .

Host AGMDave says:
ACTION: Thomas manages to evade all but one torpedo.  Thomas' return fire impacts the destroyer's shields.  No damage to either vessel.

CNS_Savar says:
#::Pulls back to position three::

CNS_Savar says:
#XO: In position.  Commands?

CSO_Washudoin says:
#XO: Sir no damage to any of the vessels :: Continues to fire torpedoes ::

Host AGMDave says:
ACTION: The Skree vessel and the lead destroyer exchange communications, then suddenly break them off.

CIV_Charn says:
@::checks that the originally dramatically draped piece of fabric is still dramatically draped::

SO_Llewellyn says:
@::Thinks: Ok here we go....::

Host CO_Morgan says:
@::wonders what is going on out there, hopes Claymore is being careful with his ship::

CMO_Cook says:
@::Sees Jadis checking her clothing:: CIV: How did you come up with your outfit?

CNS_Savar says:
#XO: Sir... reading communications between the Skree and the lead destroyer... now it stopped.

Host AGMDave says:
ACTION: The two destroyers fire on the Skree ship.  The BR shudders a bit as it is released to float.

XO_Claymore says:
#::wonders what could be happening::

CIV_Charn says:
@::meets Cook's eyes:: CMO: I checked a magazine for children. This is the latest rage for dolls, would you believe it?

XO_Claymore says:
#CSO: Scans?

Host CO_Morgan says:
@AT:  Hmmm...that didn't feel good.

SO_Llewellyn says:
@::laughs at CIV's remark::

Host AGMDave says:
ACTION: The Skree ship takes no damage and returns fire destroying one Orion ship and locks onto the other.

CMO_Cook says:
@::wonders if that could be Vulcan humor coming though:: CIV: I see :smiles::

CIV_Charn says:
@::raises her eyes, wishing she knew what is going out there. She didn't like the way the ship rocked::

CSO_Washudoin says:
#XO: Sir The BR has taken some blows but so far so good .

CEO_McDuggle says:
@CO: I tend to agree Sir

CIV_Charn says:
@::nods soberly at the CMO::

SO_Llewellyn says:
@::wonders what is going on::

Host AGMDave says:
ACTION: The destroyer fires on Thomas again.  Shields down to 88%

CSO_Washudoin says:
#XO: One Orion ship down.

SO_Llewellyn says:
@::wonders if our plan has been discovered::

CNS_Savar says:
#::Attempts to reroute power to the SIF and the shields from other sources while performing evasive::

Host AGMDave says:
ACTION: The second destroyer cloaks and runs for it.  The Skree vessel sets course to intercept the Thomas.

Host CO_Morgan says:
@::has to restrain himself from pacing, or calling the XO for a report, hates waiting and not knowing what is going on::

SO_Llewellyn says:
@CO: Do you think that our plan has been revealed?

XO_Claymore says:
#CNS: Get us away from here, CSO: Disable that ship

CEO_McDuggle says:
@:: thinks knowing the XO he is going to have 2 weeks of repair work to do to the Thomas::

CSO_Washudoin says:
#:: Shakes a bit from the blow::

CNS_Savar says:
#XO: Taking us out, heading 180 mark 16, full impulse.

CIV_Charn says:
@::she throws a glance towards Jeffrey, hoping she could calm him, knowing she is feeling none too calm::

CSO_Washudoin says:
#XO: Understood. :: Fires a full volley at the destroyer ::

Host CO_Morgan says:
@SO:  No telling, though they were bound to be suspicious of finding this vessel wasn't destroyed.

XO_Claymore says:
#CNS: Are they following us?

Host AGMDave says:
ACTION: The Orion destroyer evades Thomas' fire just as the Skree vessel intercepts and fires, disabling the Orion ship.

SO_Llewellyn says:
@::Nods, looks grim:: CO: Wish we knew more.... ::turns to cook:: CMO: Donnie, as a Betazoid, can you sense the thoughts the people out there to find out what is going on out there?

Host AGMDave says:
ACTION: The Skree hail the Thomas.

XO_Claymore says:
#Bridge: What are they doing here... they were supposed to continue on...

Host CO_Morgan says:
@::turns a questioning eye to the Doctor, curious to know as well::

CNS_Savar says:
#XO: Not following anymore... incoming hail

CSO_Washudoin says:
#:: Shakes head ::

XO_Claymore says:
#::they won't hook this on me:: CNS: Answer it

CNS_Savar says:
#COMM: Skree: This is the Thomas.

CMO_Cook says:
@::feels everyone looking at him, wants to be able to help but shakes his head:: AT: No, I cant

Host CO_Morgan says:
@::nods, didn't think so, but would be really nice to know what is happening::

CIV_Charn says:
@::nods at Cook and then sits down, since there is little they can do but wait::

SO_Llewellyn says:
@::frowns:: CMO: Well it was worth the effort. Guess everyone is too far away

CMO_Cook says:
@SO: It could be a lot of things, just hope for the best

Host Skren says:
COMM: Thomas: Plans have changed, Commander.  The Orions wanted the slaves for themselves for no payment.  I had to fight them off.  We will retreat now and see if they take the bait as you humans say.

CEO_McDuggle says:
@::leans back against wall and waits to see what happens::

SO_Llewellyn says:
@CMO: Yes. You of course are quite right. ::mutters a prayer to Rhiannon::

CNS_Savar says:
#::Acknowledges hail, and waits for Commander Claymore to answer::

Host AGMDave says:
ACTION: An Orion salvage ship leaves the base on a fast course to the BR and locks a tractor beam on it.

XO_Claymore says:
#COMM: Skren: very well, we'll be pulling back to position 2, you take up other positions

SO_Llewellyn says:
@~~~CMO: Well no matter what we will face it together. ~~~ ::smiles::

Host CO_Morgan says:
@::feels the ship shudder as something moves it:: AT:  Well something is happening...

CNS_Savar says:
#::Overhears change in position, and begins course towards position 2::

CMO_Cook says:
@::feels reassured, and glad to have Heather at his side::

CSO_Washudoin says:
#XO: Sir they've lock a tractor beam onto the Blockade Runner.

CIV_Charn says:
@::looks at the captain, and finally acknowledges to herself she wished she knew what is going on:: CO: All I know is that we should be in the process of being turned to the Orions right now.

Host AGMDave says:
ACTION: The Skree acknowledge and cuts off the comm.

XO_Claymore says:
#CNS: Comm off, engage warp 1 to Position 2

SO_Llewellyn says:
@::senses his warm emotions, is glad to have comforted him::

Host CO_Morgan says:
@Jadis:  If all is going to plan...and hopefully it is.

Host AGMDave says:
ACTION: The Skree ship cloaks and moves off.

CNS_Savar says:
#XO: Engaging now.  Skree ship has cloaked.

CIV_Charn says:
@::whispers:: CO: I hate the waiting part.

Host AGMDave says:
ACTION: The salvage ship makes for the base with the BR in tow.

XO_Claymore says:
#CSO: Prepare gray mode, silent running commences ASAP

Host CO_Morgan says:
@::mouths to Jadis "me too"::

CSO_Washudoin says:
#XO: Acknowledged :: Puts ship in gray mode ::

XO_Claymore says:
#CNS: Put the BR on the main view, optimum magnification. We should see a classic Skree maneuver very soon

Host AGMDave says:
ACTION: The BR comes to a rather sudden stop as it is docked inside the station.

SO_Llewellyn says:
@::hates waiting, but is hopeful::

CIV_Charn says:
@::smiles at yet another thing they share. They would both prefer to be in charge rather than this, but orders are orders...::

CNS_Savar says:
#::Pushes the appropriate buttons::

SO_Llewellyn says:
@::feels ship come to a stop, hopes they are in the base, like they are supposed to be::

XO_Claymore says:
#CNS: humm... pull out to encompass the entire station. I thought the Skree were going to attempt one more attack before letting the BR go

CNS_Savar says:
#XO: I would not have assumed that.  The base was not to be destroyed, yet.  ::Pulls back viewing angle::

Host AGMDave says:
ACTION: The AT can hear muffled footfalls and clanking noises.

CEO_McDuggle says:
@:: stands ready for what ever happens::

CMO_Cook says:
@::hopes that is something nice coming this way::

Host CO_Morgan says:
@AT:  Well, sounds like this is it ..remember we are captive...slaves...not SF officers.

CIV_Charn says:
@::takes a deep breath, and tries her best to look like she does not care, not knowing who is approaching... friend or foe?::

XO_Claymore says:
#CNS: I know that, but an attempt to get back the BR might have played this story a little better. Too late now. They'll have to accept what we've given them so far

Host AGMDave says:
ACTION: The cargo bay doors begin to creak open, obviously on manual operation, and a bright light shines into the bay.

SO_Llewellyn says:
@::nods, looks meek::

CIV_Charn says:
@::throws a covert glance to the source of the light::

CNS_Savar says:
#::Nods:: XO: No sign of pursuit.  Orders?

CEO_McDuggle says:
@::raises hand to shield eyes::

Host CO_Morgan says:
@::shields his face from the light...and closer inspection::

XO_Claymore says:
#CNS: Hold position and wait. We're supposed to sit back and monitor until we're needed to help pull out the AT.

XO_Claymore says:
#CSO: Condition of gray mode?

Host AGMDave says:
ACTION: Two individuals, hidden behind the light, approach the AT.  One speaks.

SO_Llewellyn says:
@::turns from light slightly, as it is glaring::

CIV_Charn says:
@::finally gives in and looks down, the light is too bright and she can barely make two figures::

SO_Llewellyn says:
@::listens::

CSO_Washudoin says:
#XO: Sir, most systems on stand-by, Just needed ones active.

Host Sam says:
@AT: My name is Sam.  You will accompany us.
