CIV Bodine says:
::on the freighter’s bridge looking out at the stars::

CO Regnum says:
::enters the Bridge of the Freighter:: All: Are we ready to disembark?

CIV Bodine says:
ALL: Captain on deck!

FCO Jankara says:
::at Flight Control of the Freighter:: CO: Flight is green Sir.  We can leave on your mark.

CIV Bodine says:
::grins at the CO::

XO Martin says:
::standing near the Exec seat, and turns to see the captain, nods::

CTO Mahl says:
::at the tactical station, wondering how anyone could defend themselves with such limited armament::

XO Martin says:
::feeling somewhat nervous, having been away from a command position for so long::

CO Regnum says:
FCO: Very well, cut umbilical and let's get outa here. We're taking the long way to Cardassian Space, take us down past Starbase 211 and round the DMZ to Camor, we'll enter the DMZ there.

CMO Burton says:
::Standing on the Bridge::

TO MJDoole says:
@::walks out of quarters, to explore and try and remember::

CIV Bodine says:
::turns to the XO who is looking a bit apprehensive:: XO: I meant to catch you earlier, but I saw your comprehensive record it is both an honor and a pleasure to have you as my new XO. I hope to learn a lot from your experience.

FCO Jankara says:
CO: Aye Sir.  ::sends the departure to Mia in Station Ops:: Severing umbilical now.

FCO Jankara says:
::receives the clearance and activates thrusters to leave the station::

TO MJDoole says:
@::sees a flat platform take a crewmember into the ceiling::

CIV Bodine says:
::turns to the Captain:: CO: Trying to make it look like we have been in Cardassian space long before we arrive?

XO Martin says:
::raises eyebrows, but smiles, though a  bit weakly:: CIV: Oh, um, thank you...it's been a while since I was in this position, hope I haven't lost my touch, heh.

TO MJDoole says:
@::looks curiously at the platform that returned::

CO Regnum says:
CIV: Yes Mr. Bodine, from what little I understand of your mission, we can't be traced back to the station or your cover will be blown. The longer route we take, the harder it will be for someone to follow our warp trail.

FCO Jankara says:
::watches carefully as they clear the station and increases to one-quarter impulse::

TO MJDoole says:
@::wants to be lifted to the ceiling, steps on platform::

CO Regnum says:
XO: Bet you hoped you were free of this forsaken freighter when you stepped aboard eh? If Mr. Bodine doesn't kill us all, we'll get you back onto a Star Fleet station as soon as possible.

XO Martin says:
::chuckles lightly and nods at the CO's words:: CO: I'm sure we'll get back in one piece, sir.

CPO Eiluj says:
@EO:  Uhhh, like, how's it goin’ eh?

Host Arlene says:
ACTION:  The platform moves but unfortunately it stops between floors.  The TO is now Stuck.

CO Regnum says:
XO: Well I don't care much about the condition of this bucket of bolts, but I hope that our crew at least is all together.

TO MJDoole says:
@::jumps up and down:: Out loud: No Stop. Go!

CIV Bodine says:
::examines the Captain with great interest before responding:: ::smiling:: CO: Good thinking, but I would suggest we recalculate our average warp factor we don't want to be late that might be worse, sir.

FCO Jankara says:
::increases to half impulse as they approach the markers::

XO Martin says:
::nods:: CO: Of course...it will be easier if this old girl isn't limping back to base though...one can only hope, eh?

TO MJDoole says:
@::stomping foot:: Out loud: Go! Go! Go!

CO Regnum says:
CIV: Of course Lieutenant. FCO: What is our ETA to Camor?

EO Mac says:
@::looks down at the main status display in Engineering::

CPO Eiluj says:
 @:: goes to try and fix the platform::

EO Mac says:
@*TO*: Engineering to turbolift 12... is your thing like moving Eh?

CMO Burton says:
::Watches the FCO punch some buttons::

EO Mac says:
@CPO: Pretty bad Eh...  I think one of the turbo lifts is broken.

CPO Eiluj says:
@*EO*  Like, the platform ain't moving, eh.

TO MJDoole says:
@::startled by the voice from nowhere:: Out loud:: Hello? Who’s there?

FCO Jankara says:
CO: 4 hours Sir.

CIV Bodine says:
XO: Once we are underway I'd like to address the Senior Staff about what I can share about the orders I have thus far. Sir. ::Thinking: wonder if the Exec prefers Sir or Ma'am::

FCO Jankara says:
::passes the outer markers and increases to warp::

EO Mac says:
*TO*: I am Engineering 3rd class Mac... and I am going to try and fix the turbolift... hopefully without killing you ::chuckles::

CPO Eiluj says:
:: accesses the lift ::

XO Martin says:
CIV: Hmm .. That’s probably arrangable, I'm sure we'd all like to know as much as possible about our mission ...and..."ma'am", if you please.

EO Mac says:
@CPO: See if it'll move Eh... try down first.

CPO Eiluj says:
@EO:  Like, I think I can get it to move again.....I'm not so sure about stopping again, eh.

CPO Eiluj says:
@EO:  Ok, eh.

CPO Eiluj says:
@:: pushes a few buttons to make the lift drop ::

TO MJDoole says:
@::stomps foot:: Out loud: Fine! Stay! I don't care!  ::sees some "stairs" that go straight up, begins climbing it::

CPO Eiluj says:
EO:  Oopsss

Host Arlene says:
ACTION:  The TL jostles a bit... and tilts on an angle.

CTO Mahl says:
::slams his hands down on the tactical console::

CPO Eiluj says:
@EO:  Like....I, ummmm, think it's moving.....not the right way though, eh.

CTO Mahl says:
XO: We better hope that nobody attacks us, this old crate wont be able to handle anything.

TO MJDoole says:
@::climbs faster to get away from the moving floor::

EO Mac says:
@ CPO: Oooops... is this like bad Eh?

CPO Eiluj says:
@EO: Like, I think so eh.

CIV Bodine says:
::turns to the CTO and begins to speak with an idle voice:: CTO: You got, Counter Insurgency and tactics training Lieutenant? Right?

EO Mac says:
@ *TO*: So like are you ok Eh?

FCO Jankara says:
::watches her console carefully, still learning its feel::

CTO Mahl says:
CIV: My major training is in tactical defense and offense.

XO Martin says:
::tugs a bit at her collar, and puts on her best smile, nodding at the CTO:: CTO: I'm sure we'll be able to handle anything that comes our way...

CPO Eiluj says:
@  :: pushes a few more buttons to try and get the platform to move stop ::

CIV Bodine says:
CTO: Good .... ::in a near whisper and tails off::

EO Mac says:
@ CPO: Try like up Eh.

CO Regnum says:
XO: You have the Bridge commander... Before John briefs everyone else but me on the mission I'd like to have a little chat with him.

CTO Mahl says:
XO: With all due respect, Ma'am, I would do better with sticks and stones.

CPO Eiluj says:
@EO:  Good idea eh.

XO Martin says:
::nods:: CO: Yes sir

CO Regnum says:
CTO: Then I suggest you find some sticks and stones, because we may have to use them.

EO Mac says:
@ *TO*: So like do you like need a doctor Eh?

CPO Eiluj says:
@ :: pushes more buttons ::

TO MJDoole says:
@:: no answer::

CPO Eiluj says:
@ *TO*  Like , is anyone there?  Can you tell me where you want to go eh?

CIV Bodine says:
CO: who would be ::His attention darn from the stars, back to the Captain's eyes::  CO: I saw that coming. ::follows after the CO when he moves::

EO Mac says:
@ CPO: We need to send a doctor there too Eh... someone who can't talk has got to be in bad shape Eh?

CPO Eiluj says:
@EO:  Good idea eh.

CO Regnum says:
::exits the Bridge with the CIV and enters the small turbolift, he keys in to take them as close to Sickbay as possible:: CIV: So, what can you tell me. Why are we flying into Cardassian space in a freighter loaded with latinum

CMO Burton says:
::Wondering how his patient, the TO, is doing::

CPO Eiluj says:
@ :: pushes more buttons :: EO:  Uhhhh, is it supposed to do that, eh?

TO MJDoole says:
@::still trying to figure out where the voice is coming from::

Host Arlene says:
ACTION:   The TL moves up two floors then stops again.  The Doors don't open.

EO Mac says:
@ Computer: Who's in the turbolift Eh?

TO MJDoole says:
@::accidentally hits and activates the communicator on my shirt::

CPO Eiluj says:
@EO:  Like, maybe we can get the platform here and then get whoever is on it off, Eh?

CIV Bodine says:
CO: Well, I didn't want to spoil the surprise but I arranged your Birthd.... ::looks at Victor:: Just kidding .. Okay seriously I just got contacted by my former SFI Commander, I expected this for some time I just didn't know when sir...

TO MJDoole says:
@::looking around:: Out loud:: Hmmm...How am I going to get off these "stairs"?

XO Martin says:
::takes a seat in the command seat and looks at the other crew members:: All: Alright, since I haven't had the chance to get to know you all yet, mind telling me some things about yourselves? ::smiles, trying to lighten the mood a little::

CPO Eiluj says:
@ *TO*  Like , what stairs??   EO:  Do we have stairs on the station, eh?

EO Mac says:
@ <Computer> EO: Lieutenant Junior Grade Monruth James Doole is located in turbolift 12.

CO Regnum says:
CIV: Nice try there John, but you know as well as I do that my birthday isn't for another 6 months.

CTO Mahl says:
XO: We are trill.  I am the third host for the Mahl symbiont.

EO Mac says:
@ *TO*: Are you Lt Doole and do you want some help Eh?

XO Martin says:
::raises eyebrows at the 3rd person phrasing, but nods:: CTO: Ah...what were the first two hosts like? Anyone handsome? - joking, of course ::smiles wryly::

TO MJDoole says:
@::hears the voice come from my shirt, holds onto the "stairs" with one hand and rips the shirt off with the other, and throws it down:: Out loud: Ahhh ... Demon shirt...possessed by voices.

EO Mac says:
@ CPO: We have ladders Eh?

TO MJDoole says:
@Out loud: Get away!

CIV Bodine says:
CO: Right well those things take time ... But anyway back to your question. We are to make a Purchase some weapons stolen from a former Cardassian / Dominion stock. If the conductor is there we should try and detain him, if not we should ask questions and try to dig deeper till we find him... He has to be stopped sir.

CTO Mahl says:
XO: I am the first male host.  I don't know if the previous two could be considered handsome. ::grins::

CO Regnum says:
CIV: And who is this... "Conductor"?

EO Mac says:
@ CPO: Ummmm... dude needs a doctor Eh... .  *Sickbay*: Engineering to sickbay... we have one crazy dude in the turbolift  CPO: Can you send him to sickbay's level Eh?

XO Martin says:
::chuckles and smiles:: CTO: Alright, makes sense then...let's put it another way then, eh?...Any interesting hosts before?

TO MJDoole says:
@::pounds on the wall:: Out loud: Get me outta here!

TO MJDoole says:
@::pounding on split section of wall::

CIV Bodine says:
CO: Not a lot of Intel, I swear I would have known more had that Breen ship not attacked me on my first mission. We are pretty sure he is coordinating between corrupt Cardassian Union Interim Government Officials and who knows how many pirates and traders on the black market. We need him alive to question him.

CPO Eiluj says:
@  :: nods at the EO :: EO:  Like really.  He sounds like a total head case eh?

CO Regnum says:
CIV: So this Conductor has been dealing with Dominion weaponry, and... What, he's arranged an auction or something?

CTO Mahl says:
XO: The first host was an ambassador to Andoria.  She was a formidable opponent in any negotiations. Her name was Cerellin.  The second host was a teacher.  She loved children.  Sadly, she never had any of her own.  Her name was Meranda.

CIV Bodine says:
CO: I don't know anything else I swear .... ::frowns hoping Regnum can see he is not holding back::

EO Mac says:
@ CPO: Send him to sickbay if ya can Eh.

CO Regnum says:
CIV: And our mission is to... what, masquerade as buyers of this weapon?

FCO Jankara says:
::focuses on her console, trying to understand all of it::

EO Mac says:
@ *TO*: Relax dude   we are sending you to the doctors Eh.

CIV Bodine says:
CO: Basically except, it is rumored that some of the weapons were a hybrid type; they had energy conservation of Breen tech. and the lethality of Cardassian muzzles

CIV Bodine says:
CO: Yea you’ve got it.

CO Regnum says:
CIV: Rumored... so I'm guessing you really have no idea what it is we are buying?

CIV Bodine says:
CO: There is no solid Info on that last concern though.

XO Martin says:
::nods:: CTO: Sounds like quite the history, but what about yourself?.....::glances at the FCO:: FCO: Or you, Lieutenant?

CIV Bodine says:
::shakes head:: CO: No... This mission is dangerous. But SFI can't risk sending a task force in unless it can confirm who all the corrupt Cardies are.

CTO Mahl says:
XO: I have been in star fleet for a few years, held a few different jobs along the way.  I began my career as the CMO aboard the USS Don Johnson.  I transferred here as CMO, then was transferred again to the USS Scorpius.  I came back here when the CTO position became available.  Guess I wasn't cut out to be a doctor.

CO Regnum says:
::paces in the lift a little:: CIV: How are you going to get in to this auction? Surely security will be tight.

CTO Mahl says:
XO: But, you should know that I still have a medical license.

FCO Jankara says:
XO: Not much about me Ma'am.  I grew up on Halii.  Since joining Star Fleet I've served on the Cherokee where I had the nightmare of meeting a Borg vessel.  I disappeared during an Away Mission, of which I have no memory, and woke up on a Starship 6 months later.  After that, I went to the Don Johnson and served before coming to the station.

CIV Bodine says:
CO: Well fortunately the Cardassian I attacked on the Thomas is still in a Prison camp so my cover should be alright. And that whole wild Breen ship thing got everyone’s attention off "normal operations" so everyone kind of laid low till now. This is like the gathering we where supposed to have months ago.

CPO Eiluj says:
@EO:  Like, the Doc's ain't answering....are they like ok???  Did they leave???  Did I miss another memo, eh?

XO Martin says:
CTO: I'll be sure to keep that in mind, Lieutenant, it shall be useful in the future. ::smiles at the FCO:: FCO: I'm sure we've all had nightmares over the Borg...I know I have at least.

CO Regnum says:
CIV: So you are expected at this meeting then?

EO Mac says:
@ CPO:  I dunno Eh... maybe their like playing Doctor Eh?

CPO Eiluj says:
@EO:  Like, I don't think Doctors play around...they have to be serious, eh.

TO MJDoole says:
@::thinking:: perhaps I can pry the split wall apart?

CTO Mahl says:
XO: If I may be so bold, what can you tell us about you?

CIV Bodine says:
CO: Yes as T'Mok Kelnor, I had everyone calling me Kel eventually.

CO Regnum says:
CIV: Have you decided who you are taking with you? I presume you probably can't take a full away team to such a meeting?

CIV Bodine says:
CO: Reminds me we needs OPS to make sure my Criminal record is still findable and in tact. Both in Federation and Cardassian archives ... Make no mistake these people have ways into Federation data as well.

TO MJDoole says:
@::finds a loose "stair" and rips it free from the rest of the "stairs"

CIV Bodine says:
CO: The CTO has the training. The XO has the diplomacy, hard choice but I think I want the CTO.

CO Regnum says:
CIV: Understood. I'll have the XO, myself, and a few other members of the crew surgically altered as well, in case we need to come after you.

XO Martin says:
CTO: Ah … yes, I knew I forgetting something ::smiles:: FCO/CTO: Hmm, well, I grew up on Earth, my mother was in Starfleet, and I always wanted to go to the stars after her. I went straight to the USS Andromeda after Star Fleet Academy, stayed for a few years, then taught at the Academy for a year, moved on to the USS Vesuvius, and now I'm here

CTO Mahl says:
XO: I look forward to working for you.

CO Regnum says:
::walks up to the door of Sickbay:: CIV: Well Mr. Bodine, let's let the Doctor know the hard work he's got ahead of him

CIV Bodine says:
CO: I wish to impress upon you it was not my call to drag your crew into this, but because they are I feel just as responsible for their lives now .. I did fine here six months on my own but Starfleet has different ideas about how they want this done, I can only apologize, sir. I can tell you want to hold this against me but I won’t let you down sir.

XO Martin says:
CTO: I'm sure you'll be interesting to work with as well...FCO: And same with you, of course....Both: If we survive this, of course ::grins::

CPO Eiluj says:
@ :: pushes some more buttons ::

CO Regnum says:
CIV: Just make sure we succeed John

CIV Bodine says:
CO: I will die before anyone else has to fall …  if it comes to that .... ::sighs:: Alright let’s get this started ....

CTO Mahl says:
XO: If I have to use sticks and stones, we WILL survive this.

TO MJDoole says:
@::jams it into the wall split, trying to pry the wall at the split::

EO Mac says:
@ ::tries to gets the turbolift to the right deck and pushes a few buttons::

CPO Eiluj says:
@ :: Self:  Hmmmmm....:: pushes even more buttons ::

XO Martin says:
::chuckles:: CTO: I'm sure there's a replicator around here somewhere ::grins again::

Host Arlene says:
ACTION:  As the TO tries to pry the wall apart.. The lift moves again at twice the speed head for the top showing no signs of stopping.
