CMO_D`han says:
::in the medical examination area of the tournament::
CSO_Washudoin says:
:: Standing around ::
Host CO_Claymore says:
::off in a secluded area behind the VIP section:: *Ops*: Claymore to Operations, I'd like an update on the station's condition.
Host Thorne says:
::Walks onto the court and approaches the Arcadian team:: Team: Congratulations on your win.  I am Thorne, and I am the team captain for the Orions.
XO_Danforth says:
::shakes hands with Thorne::
XO_Danforth says:
Thorne: I am the team captain for the Arcadians.  Congratulations to you, too.
CTO_Mrlr says:
::watches the Orions approach::
CSO_Washudoin says:
:: Looks the Orion up and down, give a slight nod ::
XO_Danforth says:
Thorne: It'll be very interesting to play you next round.
Host Thorne says:
::Shakes the XO's hand, familiar with the human gesture::
XO_Danforth says:
::gestures to the rest of his crew and introduces them::
Host Thorne says:
CTO: You are... Lieutenant Mrlr?
CMO_D`han says:
::checking the trill team members’ post-match::
CTO_Mrlr says:
Thorne: Yes I am pleases to meet you.
Host CO_Claymore says:
<Duty_Ops> *CO*: Everything's fine up here sir. BTW, a message from your wife, she says she'll be unable to attend the games, a virus or something has infected a transport ship and she's stuck in the lab going over code trying to fix it.
Host Thorne says:
CTO: The pleasure is mine...
Host Thorne says:
ACTION: The Orions seem to be acting odd towards the CTO.
CTO_Mrlr says:
Thorne: ::grins:: I look forward to our match. ::wonders if maybe the guy is allergic to cats::
Host CO_Claymore says:
*Ops*: All right, keep me informed. Claymore out.
Host Thorne says:
ACTION: Thorne does the Orion equivalent of blushing
Host CO_Claymore says:
::decides he is having the better day and moves back towards the VIP seating::
Host Thorne says:
<Admiral Smiley> CO: Everything fine, Captain?
Host CO_Claymore says:
Admiral: Yes sir, just checking in.
Host Thorne says:
CTO: There is some time before the final match... would you like to eat with me?
CTO_Mrlr says:
::looks at the XO:: Thorne/XO: If my team captain has no need of me for the time being.
XO_Danforth says:
CTO: No, we have some time.  Enjoy yourself.  Just don't give away any secrets.
CTO_Mrlr says:
::grins and winks at them both:: XO: Maybe I will learn some of theirs.
CSO_Washudoin says:
CTO: And do be careful, we need to win the next game. :: Stares at the Orion, and then walks away ::
Host CO_Claymore says:
Admiral: Has my team been getting into trouble down there?
Host Thorne says:
<Admiral Smiley> CO: I'm not sure.  The Orions seem pretty interested in your CTO
CMO_D`han says:
::gets the next trill member on the biobed::
Host CO_Claymore says:
<Duty_Ops> ::notices a power spike in the Orion's Engines but decides it isn't worth telling the Captain.::
CMO_D`han says:
<Trill Team Member 2> ::watches the CMO start up her scans::
Host Thorne says:
::Points towards the exit:: CTO: Shall we?  I'm certain you know the best places to eat here.
CTO_Mrlr says:
::watches the CSO walk away and then turns to Thorne:: Thorne: We can go to the Arcadias.
Host CO_Claymore says:
Admiral: Food service is coming around, you want anything?
XO_Danforth says:
CSO: Shu'do, want to grab a bite?
XO_Danforth says:
CSO: Have you been to Dobbins Corner?  They have the best steaks anywhere.
CTO_Mrlr says:
::starts to walk towards the exit::
Host Thorne says:
ACTION: As the CTO leads the way out, two of the Orion teammates each grab an arm, and Orion transporter beams nab the five of them.
CSO_Washudoin says:
:: Stops and turns to the XO :: XO: Well that sounds acceptable, let's do it.
Host Thorne says:
<Duty_OPS> *CO*: Sir!  The Orion ship just went into warp!
CMO_D`han says:
::finds nothing wrong with the Trill team member, except for some bruises, gets the dermal regenerator::
Host CO_Claymore says:
<Duty_Ops> *CO*: And I've detected a transport beam out, they have the CTO.
XO_Danforth says:
CSO: Just follow me. ::starts walking to Dobbins Corner::
Host CO_Claymore says:
::taps comm badge:: *Senior Staff*: Report to Ops now. Admiral: Excuse me sir.
CSO_Washudoin says:
:: Follows the XO, thinking about a big juicy steak ::
Host CO_Claymore says:
*Duty Ops*: Start tracking the ship and alert the Thomas, prep a runabout.
Host Thorne says:
ACTION: When Mrlr materializes, the location is dark.  She is struck on the back of the head, dazed long enough to be bound and have her comm badge thrown to the ground.
Host Thorne says:
<Admiral Smiley> ::Stands:: CO: I'll alert the Thomas.
CMO_D`han says:
Nurse Betty: Take care of him. ::points to the Trill team member:: Emergency.... I have to go to operations.
Host CO_Claymore says:
::moves to the Turbolift, and nods to the Admiral on his way out::
XO_Danforth says:
CSO: They make very authentic English steaks and dinners.  Their Yorkshire pudding is the best.
Host Thorne says:
<Duty_OPS> *CO*: Sir... I didn't read any life signs on the Orion vessel, even when they warped out.
CMO_D`han says:
<Nurse Betty> CMO: Understood.
CMO_D`han says:
::leaves the area quickly and heads for the lift:: *CO*: I am on my way.
XO_Danforth says:
::walks into Dobbins Corner:: Dobbins: Hey, Dobbins!  A table for me and my fellow Arcadian, Shu'do!
Host Thorne says:
@CTO: I am sorry, but you are simply too beautiful to let pass...
Host CO_Claymore says:
*Duty Ops*: But they must have transported somewhere, and there should be someone aboard that ship to pilot it, right?
CTO_Mrlr says:
@::struggles against the rope binding her, hissing as she tries to focus and get her bearings:: Thorne: Do you realize just how idiotic what you've done is?
CSO_Washudoin says:
XO: I guess we belay the steak and pudding thing, the Captain has bellowed :: Head to Ops ::
XO_Danforth says:
Dobbins: Sorry Dobbins.  Duty calls.  ::slings towel over his shoulder and heads out with CSO::
CMO_D`han says:
::gets into the lift:: TL: Operations.
Host CO_Claymore says:
::steps out of the Turbolift:: Ops: I want a full scan, look for the CTO's commbadge
Host Thorne says:
<Duty_OPS> *CO*: That's the thing... you would think... we also detected a second beaming only moments after the first... but not sure exactly where that one went....
Host Thorne says:
@CTO: Love makes you do crazy things...
Host Thorne says:
ACTION: As Mrlr's eyes adjust to the darkness, she sees not Orion walls, but Starfleet walls.  However, they offer no other clues.
XO_Danforth says:
::enters OPS:: CO: Sorry for the appearance Captain.  What's going on?
CTO_Mrlr says:
@::tries to free her paws enough to get at the rope with her claws:: Thorne: Love?  We just met.  Usually a gentleman sends flowers or candy...kidnapping and being bound is not the way to impress someone on a first date.
Host CO_Claymore says:
XO: The CTO appears to have been kidnapped by your next opponent
Host Thorne says:
@CTO: Come now, would you have willingly found me attractive?  When our vessel returns, we will be beamed aboard... and your mind will change....
CSO_Washudoin says:
:: Enters behind Danforth :: CO: Reporting for duty Sir :: Takes his station ::
CMO_D`han says:
::arrives in operations::
XO_Danforth says:
::incredulous:: XO: Sir? Seriously?  We just left them not 10 minutes ago.
Host Thorne says:
ACTION: Mrlr feels a weapons barrel in her back
Host Thorne says:
@CTO: Please do not struggle....
Host CO_Claymore says:
CSO: Start looking for Catian life signs, OPS is trying to locate the CTO's commbadge. I doubt they were really on that vessel that warped away.
CTO_Mrlr says:
@::figures that they are still somewhere on the station.  At least that's a plus:: Thorne: I might have. ::freezes when she feels the weapon::
CSO_Washudoin says:
CO: Yes Sir. :: Begins scanning the station and any surrounding or docked vessel around the station ::
Host CO_Claymore says:
*Admiral*: Sir, is the Thomas going after the Orion vessel?
TO_Dee says:
::rushes to OPS as soon as she has the children secured::
CTO_Mrlr says:
@Thorne: But your chances are going downhill quickly..especially with a weapon in my back.
Host Thorne says:
<Admiral Smiley> *CO*: Captain, yes.  I just heard back from them two seconds ago.  They found the Orion vessel hidden behind Arcadia I, where our sensors wouldn't find it.  Seems they forgot about the Thomas.
CMO_D`han says:
CO: I am here.... what's happened?
Host Thorne says:
@::Smiles evilly::  CTO: You do not know what I have at my disposal.
TO_Dee says:
::arrives at OPS::
Host CO_Claymore says:
::notices the TO coming in and answers the CMO's question as well:: TO, CMO: Appears there has been a kidnapping. TO: I'm glad you're here, look up the records on the Orion team, I want all the information we have on them.
CMO_D`han says:
::furrows her brow:: CO: Oh my.... anything you want me to do to help?
TO_Dee says:
::nods and heads to the tac console::
CTO_Mrlr says:
@::appears to sag down in the chair in defeat and thinks hopefully that the rope might have slackened just a little:: Thorne: What do you want?  Obviously I am powerless here.
Host Thorne says:
@::Runs a hand along the CTO's cheek:: CTO: Why, you, of course....
Host CO_Claymore says:
CMO: Assist the CSO, I know there aren't a lot of Caitans on board, but it's enough to make the job longer than we need it to be.
CTO_Mrlr says:
@::turns quickly and sinks her fangs into his hand, growling::
Host CO_Claymore says:
*Admiral*: Did they find anyone on board, perhaps a transport log as well?
TO_Dee says:
::pulls up the info:: CSO: Did you see if any of the alarms we set in the tubes have been set off?
CSO_Washudoin says:
CSO: Negative, check it out.
Host Thorne says:
ACTION: Mrlr's claws sink deep into the Orion's hand.  Thorne screams in agony and one of his "teammates" bangs the CTO in the back of the head hard enough to make her loosen her grip enough for Thorne to remove his hand.
CMO_D`han says:
::nods and goes to the CSO:: CSO: What are you working on? Claymore suggested I help. What would you like me to do?
CSO_Washudoin says:
CMO: You can start a scan from the southern end of the station, it should cut the time down in half.
Host Thorne says:
@::Holds his hand while grimacing in pain, drops of blood still dripping out::  CTO: That was not wise....
CTO_Mrlr says:
@::spits out the blood from the Orion and bares her teeth, hissing:: Thorne: You might be getting more than you can handle.  Why don't you cut your losses and let me go now...before I get really angry.
CMO_D`han says:
::nods, configures SCI II to something she's a bit more familiar with, and scans for catian life signs, starting at the bottom most deck::
TO_Dee says:
::minimizes the info screen and begins to check to see if any of the alarms have been tripped::  CO: All I have here sir is basic biographical data on the Orion team members.
Host CO_Claymore says:
XO: You wouldn't happen to have overheard what the Orion's conversation with the CTO?
CTO_Mrlr says:
@::her ears go flat against her head and her eyes narrow:: Thorne: I agree...touching me was definitely not wise.
Host CO_Claymore says:
TO: Try their ship and cross-reference all criminal databases.
Host Thorne says:
@CTO: Perhaps not... ::speaks in Orion to his teammates, and his face drops slightly::
XO_Danforth says:
CO: No, sir.  The CSO and I were discussing dinner as they walked away.  However, the Orion did seem enamored with Miss Mrlr.
XO_Danforth says:
CO: He behaved in an odd way.
CTO_Mrlr says:
@::only picks out a word or two as he speaks but not enough to understand what he was saying::
TO_Dee says:
::nods and goes back to the minimized screen and begins to look for information on the ship and begins a cross-reference on all the criminal databases.::
Host CO_Claymore says:
::falls back into his seat... and sighs:: XO: Put me through to the Tournament officials, I need to pass something along to them.
XO_Danforth says:
CO: Aye, sir.
CMO_D`han says:
::gets an idea:: Computer: Where is Ms. Mrlr?
XO_Danforth says:
COMM: Tournament Officials: This is the XO.  I have an important message from the Captain for you.  Please acknowledge.
Host Thorne says:
<Computer> CMO: Lieutenant Mrlr is in Storage Bay 3, Deck 42.
CTO_Mrlr says:
@::carefully starts to twist her paws around trying to loosen the rope around them as she watches the Orions.::
Host Thorne says:
@CTO: Your Captain is more resourceful than we thought... they found the ship.  Plans will have to change...
CMO_D`han says:
CO: I have a location on Mrlr... she is in Storage Bay 3, on Deck 42.
TO_Dee says:
::hears the CMO and sends a sec team to Storage Bay 3::
CMO_D`han says:
CO: Or at least her commbadge.
CSO_Washudoin says:
CMO: Excellent work doctor.
Host CO_Claymore says:
TO: Send a security team to check on it.
TO_Dee says:
CO: Already have sir.
Host Thorne says:
ACTION: The closest security team is several decks away, and will take them two minutes to reach that position.
CTO_Mrlr says:
@::tries to shrug under the rope:: Thorne: Well it was nice to meet you...have fun wherever you're going.
CMO_D`han says:
CSO: Thank you... but I think it is probably a good idea to search for her lifesign... after all the computer just detected her commbadge. We don't know if she is still wearing it.
TO_Dee says:
CO: The team will be there in 2 minutes.
CSO_Washudoin says:
CMO: Still it's the first step. :: keeps a lock on the area ::
Host Thorne says:
ACTION: After some time, the XO makes contact with a tournament official.  He can offer no assistance.
CMO_D`han says:
::still looks in the internal sensor data for caitian lifesigns:: CSO: Yes. ::smiles::
Host CO_Claymore says:
*Tourny*: Gentlemen, I suggest that the games be postponed until we can make sure that this isn't an attack on the games as a whole. I want to get all participates into their quarters and under some guard for their protection.
CTO_Mrlr says:
@::ignores the rope rubbing her wrist raw as she still tries to loosen it.  Gets a claw on it and carefully starts to pick at it slowly::
Host Thorne says:
@CTO: Mrlr, why do you feel the need to make this more difficult than it has to be?
TO_Dee says:
CO: The ship is standard Orion vessel, whose computer core seems to have been wiped clean recently and an autopilot set to return at a prearranged time.
CTO_Mrlr says:
@::gives him a fake sweet smile:: Thorne: Just part of my lovable charm.
Host CO_Claymore says:
TO: Well that excludes one possibility. Keep trying to investigate the Orions.
TO_Dee says:
<Sec Teams> ::arrives at the door to the Storage Bay and begin to try and unlock it::
TO_Dee says:
CO: Recommend putting up a transport inhibitor around the cargo bay?
Host CO_Claymore says:
TO: Make it so. Raise shields and lock down all docked vessels to be sure as well.
CMO_D`han says:
CO: There is something that seems to be blocking internal sensors in that bay....
Host Thorne says:
ACTION: Thorne hears the security team, and spreads his team out in preparation.
TO_Dee says:
::raises the shields and a transporter inhibitor around the Storage Bay  and locks down all docked vessels::
XO_Danforth says:
::watches all the events with growing anticipation::
CTO_Mrlr says:
@::hears the door lock activated and looks around at the four Orions:: All: I'd leave if I were you...quickly while you still can.
Host CO_Claymore says:
XO, TO: Get down there. CMO: You might want to grab a med kit and get down there again.
Host Thorne says:
@::Wonders why everything has to fall apart... all he wanted was a beautiful animal woman::  CTO: We cannot leave.
CTO_Mrlr says:
@Thorne: Untie me and I'll try and convince the captain to give you free passage out of here.
TO_Dee says:
::nods to the CO and calls for her backup to replace her and then sprints for the lift::
CMO_D`han says:
::nods, follows the XO and TO into the lift, since she already has her med kit slung on her shoulder::
Host Thorne says:
@CTO: You are more persuasive tied up.
TO_Dee says:
<Sec Team> :: breaks the lock and rushes in weapons raised and ready::
XO_Danforth says:
::into the lift and says:: TL: Deck 42, storage bay 3.
Host Thorne says:
ACTION: Two blasts fire from two different positions flanking the security team.  One security officer is struck.
TO_Dee says:
<Sec Team> ::fan out and take cover::
Host CO_Claymore says:
CSO: Can you put a camera on the main viewer?
TO_Dee says:
<Sec Team Leader> *TO*: Ma'am we have shots fired.  Officer down!
CTO_Mrlr says:
@::sees the sec team and shouts::Sec Guys:: Four Orions.all armed.  One at the door ready to jump!  Watch it!
CSO_Washudoin says:
CO: Understood :: On Screen ::
CMO_D`han says:
XO: I hope she is alright... I couldn't get a read on lifesigns in that area... something blocking internal sensors.
TO_Dee says:
<Sec Team Leader> ::shoots at the one at the door::
XO_Danforth says:
CMO: Well, then we'll need your skills more than ever.
CMO_D`han says:
::hears the badge from the TO:: Self: Oh my! ::wishes the lift would move faster::
CSO_Washudoin says:
CO: On screen Sir.
Host Thorne says:
ACTION: With his cover blown, the Orion at the door jumps from his spot, and strikes one of the remaining officers, knocking him out.  The team leader's blast then takes him out, but two blasts strike out, coming close to the team leader.
CMO_D`han says:
XO: So it would seem. ::looks concerned::
TO_Dee says:
XO/*CO*: Sirs we have weapon fire and an officer down.
CTO_Mrlr says:
@::continues shouting:: Sec guys: Two hidden in the shadows....10 o’clock and 2 o'clock. ::tries to stand and hit Thorne with the chair she was tied to::
Host CO_Claymore says:
::alerts Sickbay to send more people::
TO_Dee says:
<Sec Team Leader> ::ducks for cover::
CMO_D`han says:
::pulls out her hypospray::
TO_Dee says:
::follows the XO and CMO::
XO_Danforth says:
;:the doors to the TL open::
TO_Dee says:
<Sec Team Leader>::fires at 10 o’clock and the 2 o'clock repeatedly::
Host CO_Claymore says:
::intently watches the screen::
Host Thorne says:
ACTION: The team leader manages to find one of the Orions, but the other holds the leader back.
CMO_D`han says:
::takes the rear position behind the TO and XO, after all she's not armed or really as combat effective::
CTO_Mrlr says:
@::growls and keep trying to maneuver herself and the chair towards Thorne...if anything at least stomp the chair leg on his foot::
Host Thorne says:
@ACTION: Thorne is caught off balance by the CTO's chair, which strikes his foot.  His Orion rage gets the better of him, and he throws her to the ground, and kneels on top of her, a knife appearing out of nowhere::  CTO: Why do you make me do this!
TO_Dee says:
::steps out of the lift and sees no one in the area and then makes her way to the SB doors::
TO_Dee says:
<Sec Team Leader> :: hears the howl and shoots at it making sure to miss the CTO
CTO_Mrlr says:
@::still struggling:: Thorne: I told you it's part of my charm.
