Host CO_Ayidee says:
::Sitting in Jeffries tube, at Maintenance access point for Sensor pod, watching the stars.  It's been some time since I've sat here, and it just felt right for some reason.::

OPS_Nash says:
::in quarters, at her desk, holding a PADD that she downloaded the message that was sent to her by her mother, she has a worried look on her face::

Host Adm-Alexander says:
@COM: Cherokee:  This is Admiral Alexander.  I want to speak to CO Smith, and I mean on the double!

jEO_Wilson says:
::sitting in sickbay, his chin resting on his hands, placed on Captain Adams' biobed, in deep thought... as Capt Adams rests...::

CEO_Pandora says:
::Laying on his couch, the mind control device in his hands, twisting and turning it without much interest::

Host XO_Worthington says:
::in his quarters, looking up from a padd he finally resigns himself to the fact that the most logical explanation of recent events is there is a traitor among the senior staff::

CTO_Hazzard says:
:: staring out at the stars as he sips at a shot glass of synthahol...grimacing as he wonders how much it Doesn't taste like whiskey. ::

CNS-T`Lin says:
::On her way back to her quarters.::

CSO_Nash says:
:: In their quarters going over everything pertinent he needs to bring. Pulls out his padds and verifies that he has copies of the message and the first scan of the computer system that shows the virus' presence.::

jEO_Wilson says:
::whispers:: Adams: We're very close to Betazed now... it's about to begin...

Host CO_Ayidee says:
<Acting OPS> COM: Alexander: Aye Ma'am, I'll see if he's available.

Host CO_Ayidee says:
<Acting OPS> *CO Smith*: Captain, theirs an Admiral Alexander on the Horn for you.  Shall I patch her through?

Host eCO_Smith says:
 OPS:  Yes, in the RR.

CEO_Pandora says:
::Sits up straight and puts the device back in the box::

Host CO_Ayidee says:
::Absently humming a tune, trying to ignore it's the wrong view.::

Host CO_Ayidee says:
<Acting OPS> *CO Smith*: Aye Sir.  COM: Alexander: Putting you through now, ma'am.  ::Connects the channel.::

OPS_Nash says:
::she double checks the PADD to see if the message is still there but she will not open the file unless ordered to::

Host eCO_Smith says:
COM: Alexander:  This is Captain Smith.  What can I do for you Admiral? ::grinning at her::

CNS-T`Lin says:
::Makes her way back to her quarters, enters and lays down on the couch, exhausted from the events.  Pulls out her notes, and tries to piece the chain of events together.::

CTO_Hazzard says:
:: takes another sip of his drink and wonders what the others are doing ::

CEO_Pandora says:
::Closes the box and takes it to his bedroom::

jEO_Wilson says:
::sighs, and gets up; he sees that the security guards have been provoked, and are moving forward:: Security: Relax, I'm only grabbing some water. ::he sighs in disgust, glaring at the overzealous officers, as he walks over to the replicator::

Host Adm-Alexander says:
@COM: Smith:  First of all Captain Smith, I am NOT happy about what has transpired concerning the Cherokee.  I want to speak to MY Captain right now... Is that understood?

CSO_Nash says:
:: Moves over to Kyleigh.:: OPS: Everything in order here?

OPS_Nash says:
::looks up at Kevin::  CSO:  I believe so.

Host XO_Worthington says:
*CTO*: Mr. Hazzard, could I see you for a minute?

Host Adm-Alexander says:
<Smith> COM: Adm:  Yes Maam... I will relay the message, please hold on while I find him.

CEO_Pandora says:
::Puts the box underneath the bed, gets up again and returns to his living area::

jEO_Wilson says:
<Security>jEO: Uh, Mr. Wilson, no worries. We were, ah, just wondering where you were going. Carry on.

CTO_Hazzard says:
:: sighs and taps his combadge:: *XO* : On my way, sir! :: sets his drink down and makes his way to the XO's quarters. ::

Host eCO_Smith says:
 *OPS*: This is Smith, find Ayidee and get him to the RR ASAP, the Admiral wishes to speak to him.

Host Adm-Alexander says:
@COM: Smith:  Oh and Captain, I am not pleased that this information just reached me.  What was the delay?

jEO_Wilson says:
::he heads for the replicator:: Computer: A glass of water, and a napkin, please. ::he retrieves the glass of water, and brings it back to the biobed, nodding to the security personnel, and smiling slightly.:: Security: Thanks... for your concern.

Host eCO_Smith says:
 COM: Adm:  I didn't finish interviewing the crew until last night Maam.  I wanted all the information to send, not pieces of it.

CEO_Pandora says:
::Takes a seat behind his desk and picks up a broken tricorder:: Self: Glad I brought along something to work on... ::Sighs::

CSO_Nash says:
OPS: I just hope that if it comes to court-martial we get an impartial trio to judge us.

jEO_Wilson says:
<Adams>::starts to stir from his slumber:: jEO: Wha.. what's going on... ?

OPS_Nash says:
::just then their cat, Menix walks by and looks up at Kyleigh with a sad kitty look, Kyleigh reached and petted him::

OPS_Nash says:
CSO:  Somehow I doubt it.

Host Adm-Alexander says:
@COM: Smith:  And just who told you to interview MY crew Captain? ::tries to slow her breathing, getting angrier by the second::

CTO_Hazzard says:
:: hits the door chime on the XO's quarters...::*XO* Lieutenant Hazzard reporting sir.

Host XO_Worthington says:
CTO: Enter.

jEO_Wilson says:
::looks up:: Adams: Captain... nothing, it's... nothing. ::gives him the glass of water:: Have some water, you must be thirsty...

Host CO_Ayidee says:
<Acting OPS> *CO*: Captain, your presence is required in the Ready Room.

CTO_Hazzard says:
:: walks in and looks about.:: XO: You asked for me sir?

Host eCO_Smith says:
    COM:  My orders came from Cmdr. Benedict, who answers to Admiral Steward.

jEO_Wilson says:
<Adams>::pushes himself up, with the greater strength that he's found again, and takes the glass from him:: jEO: Thank you, Wilson... ::he sighs, and slams the glass onto the console next to him::

Host Adm-Alexander says:
@COM: Smith:  And you didn't bother to verify those orders with me Captain? ::turning an icy stare towards and hoped through him::

Host CO_Ayidee says:
*Acting OPS*: Understood, on my way.  ::Rolls and begins a quick crawl through the Conduit, not worrying if Ensign Lewis Ackey is still behind or not.::

Host XO_Worthington says:
CTO: Yes Mr. Hazzard. What have you found out since we were relieved? Anyone been acting strange?

Host eCO_Smith says:
 COM: Adm:  No Maam.  I didn't see why I should.  I assumed they would inform you of the circumstances.

Host CO_Ayidee says:
::Drops out of tube and enters TL.  Calls quickly for Deck 1.::

jEO_Wilson says:
::jumps slightly as the captain slams the glass, and doesn't look at it...:: Adams: I spoke with Captain, er, Smith... ::sighs:: It wasn't too pleasant, sir...

CNS-T`Lin says:
::Gets up and walks to Ensign Pandora's quarters.  Rings the door chime.::

Host CO_Ayidee says:
::Exits TL and enters Ready Room.::  Smith: You wanted to see me?

CTO_Hazzard says:
:: snorts and shakes his head. :: XO : Sir, in all honesty..the only people acting weird are those boneheads from the Esters.  They have been treating the crew like its guilty before proven innocent instead of the other way around.

CEO_Pandora says:
::Looks up from the tricorder:: CNS: Enter!

Host Adm-Alexander says:
@COM: Smith:  I see Captain.  I understand you answer to Steward, but I suggest next time, you make a point of involving the Admiral in charge.  Now where is MY Captain?

Host CO_Ayidee says:
<Ensign L. Ackey>  ::Runs into RR, panting.::

CNS-T`Lin says:
CEO: Hi.  I was just in the area, well not really, but I was .. well you know, just wanted someone to talk to.

Host eCO_Smith says:
 Lackey:  What is it Ensign?

Host XO_Worthington says:
CTO: Well that is understandable. A lot of people have died and someone is going to have to pay for it. It's our job to make sure the guilty are punished for what they have done.

jEO_Wilson says:
<Adams>::grunts:: jEO: My goodness, Wilson. Tell me everything.

CEO_Pandora says:
::Looks at the counselor as she walks in:: CNS: Hey... Yeah... Well, I didn't have much to do either.. ::Holds up the broken tricorder:: So I thought I could perhaps fix this.. But I don't seem to be able to focus on anything really..

jEO_Wilson says:
::sighs, and heads for the replicator to grab another glass of water:: Adams: There really isn't that much to say. I... I told him what happened. It was, well, tough... but I told him, as we saw it.

Host CO_Ayidee says:
<Ensign L. Ackey>  Smith: Nothing Sir, he just got a bit ahead of me, that's all.

CTO_Hazzard says:
:: looks a little confused :: XO: Sir...what are you getting at?

CNS-T`Lin says:
CEO: It is amazing they left you keep that.  Could be a weapon you know.  ::grins::

Host eCO_Smith says:
Ackey:  Who got ahead of you?

Host CO_Ayidee says:
<Ensign L. Ackey>  Smith: Captain Ayidee, when you called him here I couldn't move fast enough.

CEO_Pandora says:
::Shakes head:: CNS: If all is well, and I trust it is, they don't even know I have it, just like with... Well.... You know what I mean..

Host XO_Worthington says:
CTO: What I am getting at is that if it is determined that someone on this ship is guilty of these crimes we will do whatever it takes to bring them to justice.

Host eCO_Smith says:
Ackey:  Where is the Captain?  I want him here NOW, before that redheaded Admiral has me for dinner!

jEO_Wilson says:
::he walks back to the biobed, and sits down, slumped:: Adams: I did not tell him what I saw in T'Lin's thoughts. What I saw was for myself only, and... and as you say, she was...

OPS_Nash says:
::she is walking around her quarters, stretching her legs, all the while, she is still holding that PADD that she hopes with help the case::

CTO_Hazzard says:
:: his expression goes from confused to stone cold in less than a second. :: XO: Sir, permission to speak freely?

Host XO_Worthington says:
CTO: Granted.

CTO_Hazzard says:
XO: Have you been taking hits from the Warp Core Exhaust sir?

CNS-T`Lin says:
CEO: What did the Captain think of it?  Did you have a chance to speak to him about it?  Oh, and does Trent know you have this?

Host XO_Worthington says:
CTO: What kind of ridiculous response is that Lieutenant?

CTO_Hazzard says:
XO: Your starting to sound just like Captain Smith.  You've been with this bridge crew longer than me...and your trying to tell me you think it was one of us?

CTO_Hazzard says:
XO: Sir.

Host CO_Ayidee says:
Smith: Ahem, you wanted to see me?  I'm waiting.

CEO_Pandora says:
::Shakes head again:: CNS: So far, I haven't left my quarters yet, except for the very short visits to the mess hall. Guess I prefer guarding the device myself..

Host eCO_Smith says:
::almost jumps out of his chair:: CO:  There you are!  Your Admiral wants to speak to you. ::then turns the monitor around so he can see her::

jEO_Wilson says:
<Adams> jEO: Good boy. I'm glad you see things my way. If we are to have justice, we need to stand together on this.

Host XO_Worthington says:
CTO: No I didn't say that nor do I think that. But if someone is responsible I want to know about it before Smith. And if they did it, we will deal with them.

CSO_Nash says:
:: Begins pacing like a caged tiger.::

CNS-T`Lin says:
::Nods.::  CEO: I understand.  Do you .. do you think Trent is involved?  I met with him earlier today.  He was acting really strange.

CTO_Hazzard says:
:: feels a little foolish and shrinks a little. :: XO: Sorry, sir.  Didn't mean to jump you like that.  I was way out of line.

Host CO_Ayidee says:
COM: Admiral: Admiral, always a...well, pleasure might not be the right word here.

Host Adm-Alexander says:
@COM: CO:  Tio... what in the blue blazes is going on?  I cannot believe what has been sent to me?

CEO_Pandora says:
::Sighs, realizing she was still standing there:: CNS: Please.. Sit down first, it's more comfortable... A drink?

OPS_Nash says:
::she finds herself in the twins room, she picks up a blanket she holds it to her chest, and yes, she still has that PADD with her::

CNS-T`Lin says:
CEO: Yes, please.  Tea please.  ::Sits down on a chair.::

Host XO_Worthington says:
CTO: Look, Smith is on a witch hunt here. Someone is gonna take the fall. We need to find out what happened at all costs. So, I want you to watch everyone. Everyone is a suspect for now.

jEO_Wilson says:
::smiles weakly:: Adams: Yeah... of course, sir. ::takes another sip, as he gets up and takes a stretch:: Adams: Smith was... so cold, as I told him about what happened... he just sat there, almost emotionless. Well, I'm sure it was just in my mind, but....

Host CO_Ayidee says:
COM: Admiral: I wish I had an answer better supported with evidence, but until I do, all I can say is it isn't as it appears.

Host Adm-Alexander says:
ACTION:  The Cherokee is approaching SB 33.  She is to dock in 34B.

CSO_Nash says:
:: Notices that OPS has went to the children's room and he stops and goes over to comfort her.:: OPS: Smith really bothered you with that comment didn't he.

Host Adm-Alexander says:
@COM: CO:  There was never a doubt in my mind Tio.  You should be docking soon.  I want you and Trent in my office now.  Have Smith beam you over.

CEO_Pandora says:
::Walks to the replicator to order a tea and a glass of iced water:: CNS: To answer your question... Your guess would be as good as mine.. I don't know. It's possible, but then again... I'm sure that someone in his position should be reliable...

OPS_Nash says:
::looks up at him, with tears in her eyes::  CSO:  You have no idea.  To want something so bad and then the prospect of it being taking away, hurts to no end.  ::a tear rolls down her face::

CTO_Hazzard says:
:: nods his head reluctantly :: XO: I still have a hard time believing it could be any of the senior staff.  I mean.  Its impossible.   We KNOW we were gassed.  We are being set up....that has to be it.

jEO_Wilson says:
<Adams>jEO: Just remember, he's here to help you. He wants to get to the bottom of this, just as much as we do. Well... not as much as we do, perhaps.

Host CO_Ayidee says:
COM: Admiral: Yes Ma'am, as you wish.  *XO*: The Admiral wants us to beam over as soon as possible.  Let me know when you are ready, and I'm sure Captain Smith's people can handle a direct beam to her office.

CNS-T`Lin says:
::Takes the cup of tea.:: CEO: Thank you.  One would thinks so.  But I am concerned if this mind control device was activated that he may not have been in control of things.  I tried to ask him about LoDuca today, but he did not have much to say.  He did not seem to want to even be bothered with conversation.

CSO_Nash says:
:: Becomes angry.:: OPS: Not if I have anything to say about it. :: Wipes the tear from her cheek.::

Host XO_Worthington says:
CTO: I know I can count on you Mark. Let's keep everything on the down low for a while. I'll contact you when I know more.

CTO_Hazzard says:
XO: If that will be all sir...may I be excused.

CEO_Pandora says:
::Frowns:: CNS: LoDuca? Can I assume you found something in your research?

Host eCO_Smith says:
CO: Certainly, as soon as he reports in, I will have him beamed over from his location.  Are you ready Captain?

Host XO_Worthington says:
*CO*: I am standing by for transport. CTO: Dismissed.

Host CO_Ayidee says:
*XO*: Then I'll see you there.  Smith: Commence Transport.

CTO_Hazzard says:
:: grins weakly and steps outside...tapping his combadge and hoping he is not bothering the only person he can count on. :: *CSO*: Lieutenant Hazzard to Commander Nash. You got a minute Scotty?

Host Adm-Alexander <Smith> OPS:  Transport Captain Ayidee to Admiral Alexander's office now. 
jEO_Wilson says:
Adams: I... know, sir. I'm just saying, it was difficult. I described to him exactly what happened... shot by shot... and it was difficult to see him not show more emotion than he did. As I bared my soul for him... but what about you? I believe he wanted to speak to you as well?

CNS-T`Lin says:
CEO: Well, I do not have much information on this LoDuca.  My computer access codes have been revoked, so I have to go from memory.  And this mission was before I came on board.  From what I understand Trent was abducted and thought dead.  There was a mind-control device thing used on him, similar to the one you possess.

CSO_Nash says:
:: Hears the comm and taps his badge.:: *CTO*: Sure Mark. I'm in my quarters if you wanna swing by.

Host Adm-Alexander says:
CO:  Tio... good to see you, now as soon as Trent gets here, we can begin.  Would you like something to drink or eat?  I have some room temperature milk for you.  ::smiling at him::

CTO_Hazzard says:
:: chuckles as he turns the corner :: *CSO* : As long as you don't have any rope behind your back. I'm on my way....just have to pick up something.

Host Adm-Alexander <OPS>*XO*:  Transporting now. 
jEO_Wilson says:
<Adams>::grunts:: jEO: Yes, I spoke to him already. He came while you were sleeping, and we had a very... interesting chat as well.

CEO_Pandora says:
::Nods:: CNS: Well, that at least narrows down the range we have to look at... LoDuca... LoDuca, that name sounds vaguely familiar... Not sure why though.. Perhaps something I read the past few days...

Host XO_Worthington says:
::materializes in Admiral Alexander's office::

CSO_Nash says:
*CTO*: Well, We'll see what I can do for you when you get here.

CTO_Hazzard says:
:: stops by a replicator and has it produce some sparkling grape juice.  walking with the bottle he hits the door chime. ::  *CSO*: Room Service

Host Adm-Alexander says:
XO:  Trent... have a seat please, anything to drink before we get started?

Host XO_Worthington says:
Adm: Some coffee would be appreciated. ::sits down::

CNS-T`Lin says:
CEO: Did you find out anything more about the device?

CSO_Nash says:
:: Hears the chime.:: CTO: Come.

Host CO_Ayidee says:
Admiral: Before anything else, I have to tell you whether or not the evidence supports us, we've been framed.  Quite well I might add.

Host Adm-Alexander says:
::goes over to her credenza and pours coffee for Trent and milk for Tio::

Host XO_Worthington says:
Admiral: I agree with the Captain, Admiral. This is obviously a frame up.

Host Adm-Alexander says:
CO/XO:  I know that... Did you ever think I could ever had thought otherwise?  I know my crew.  ::handing them their drinks::

CEO_Pandora says:
::Shakes head again:: CNS: Not really. It's more complicated than I originally thought.. And the few documents I managed to take didn't bring much either...

CTO_Hazzard says:
:: he walks in and tries to affect a good cheer. :: CSO/OPS: Howdy Nashes....thought I would come over and try to put a smile on some faces for a change...don't worry...no alcohol here. Just grape juice with some bubbles...

jEO_Wilson says:
::smirks:: Adams: I assume, then, you had the same experience. ::he hangs his head in front, shaking it, then stands up and walks away:: Adams: God, I need to get out of here, or I'm going to go insane!

Host XO_Worthington says:
::takes the coffee:: Adm: Thanks.

Host Adm-Alexander says:
CO?XO:  We have to be quick about this...

CNS-T`Lin says:
CEO: Does anyone else have a clue about it?  What about Nash?

Host CO_Ayidee says:
Admiral: Thank you ma'am, for the drink and the confidence.  Unfortunately, character witnesses only take one so far.  ::Looking straight ahead.::

OPS_Nash says:
::she looks at the CTO without saying a word::

CSO_Nash says:
CTO: Mark, thanks. With what Smith has put us both through, I'm sure we could use it. Now what can I do for you?

CEO_Pandora says:
::Shrugs:: CNS: As I said, I've rarely been out of my quarters... I don't know what they think, or who might know more about it...

Host XO_Worthington says:
Adm: Ready and standing by!

jEO_Wilson says:
<Medic>::rushes over to calm Adahn down:: jEO: Ensign! Control yourself, you're disturbing the others... please.

Host Adm-Alexander says:
CO/XO:  I have seen the recording, and it is damning, no doubt about that.  Trent, I want you to take EO Pandora and leave SB 33 and go on a fact finding mission.  I need to get you out of here before Admiral Stewart arrives.

Host CO_Ayidee says:
Adm: Have we been assigned a JAG officer yet?  Otherwise we don't have much access to information to help ourselves.

CTO_Hazzard says:
:: looks over at the OPS and the CSO :: CSO/OPS : You got to help me guys....I think the XO is startin to suspect it was one of us.....I mean.  We're supposed to be stickin together here...aren't we?

Host XO_Worthington says:
Adm: Of course Admiral, but if I may ask, why?

Host Adm-Alexander says:
CO/XO:  I out rank him, so I will not take too much heat for doing this.  I want you to get the Sequoia.

Host CO_Ayidee says:
XO: Because otherwise, you all will be held on charges, when in fact I should be the only one.  It's my ship, it's my responsibility.

Host Adm-Alexander says:
XO:  There has to be a reason the Cherokee was targeted.  I know you can find out who it is.

CSO_Nash says:
CTO: The XO. He's suspecting all of us. That's not like Trent.

Host XO_Worthington says:
Adm: Ready and standing by. We will get to the bottom of this.

OPS_Nash says:
::doesn't know what to think, she remains quiet: and she clutches the blanket and PADD tighter to her:::

jEO_Wilson says:
::pushes the medic away, as he stands closer to his captain:: Medic: No... I can't stay here. I have been here for... forever, it seems... I canNOT stay here! God..... ::slams himself back against his seat::

Host Adm-Alexander says:
XO:  As soon as the Cherokee docks, I will have orders waiting for it to be taken out for a test spin! ::smiling but with evil in her eyes::  Here are your orders to take her.  You will be dressed as a civilian.  Understand?

CTO_Hazzard says:
:: leans against the nearby bulkhead and wipes his hand over his face. :: CSO/OPS: I'll be boiled in oil before I start to doubt you guys.  Scotty...your like a brother to me...and that goes double for any kin of yours....But ..you saw the recording right?

Host CO_Ayidee says:
Adm: If he's going as a Civilian, the Sequoia might not be the most inconspicuous choice of vessel.

Host Adm-Alexander says:
CO:  But the Sequoia is not listed as a SF vessel Tio... remember?

Host XO_Worthington says:
Adm: Yes Admiral. I will be ready.

CNS-T`Lin says:
::Finishes her tea, and takes her cup to the recycler.::  CEO: Well, I think I will let you go get back to .. ::Looks at the broken tricorder and grins:: whatever it is you were doing.  I think I am going to pay another friend a visit.

CSO_Nash says:
CTO: What recording? During the interrogation? No Smith was just in my face.

Host Adm-Alexander says:
XO:  Dismissed, get the EO and get out of here.  Try along the Cardassian border, small planets out of the way.  Bars should have info floating around.

jEO_Wilson says:
<Adams> jEO: Adahn... calm down before you hurt yourself, boy, or worse... ::he raises a hand and rests it against Wilson's shoulder:: Wilson... we'll be out of here soon.

CEO_Pandora says:
::Nods:: CNS: Thanks for dropping by... Keep me posted if there's anything else you find out. I'd appreciate more information when it's available.. ::Gets up and walks towards the door::

Host CO_Ayidee says:
Adm: But it's not a private vessel either.  In Evidence storage, there's a large trader's shuttle, the Goddess Chariot.  Get it released to him, it's not like Intel is going to find the guy in that case soon anyway.

Host XO_Worthington says:
Adm: Yes ma'am. I will return right away. CO Good luck, sir.

CTO_Hazzard says:
CSO: He showed me a recording from Jacksonville's sensor logs.  It showed us attacking the convoy.  Us!  I could read our registry numbers and everything.

Host Adm-Alexander says:
XO:  Wait...

Host CO_Ayidee says:
XO: Thanks, but it's not about luck.  I have faith in the system.

Host Adm-Alexander says:
CO:  Is the vessel armed?  I will not send Trent out with just a phaser in his hand.

Host XO_Worthington says:
::pauses as the Admiral speaks::

OPS_Nash says:
CTO:  Yeah, what recording, all Smith said to me was that they talked to my mother about the message I got and she said that she didn't.  I know that she didn't but....... I don't know anymore which end is up anymore.

CNS-T`Lin says:
CEO: If I hear of anything, I will let you know.  Thanks for the chat.  ::Exits Pandora's quarters, and makes her way to sickbay.::

Host CO_Ayidee says:
Adm/ XO: Type VII Phaser equivalent.  She's old, but comfortable, and can make good speed.  Or at least she could...

CTO_Hazzard says:
:: looks over to the OPS and straightens up a little. :: OPS: Have they been treating you okay, Mrs. Nash?

Host Adm-Alexander says:
CO:  Who does she belong to?

CSO_Nash says:
CTO: Funny he didn't show it to me. He just wanted to lean on me and refute everything I said with the computers now, but I wasn't allowed to see it. He kept me seated.

CEO_Pandora says:
::Goes back to the couch, takes his glass from the table and walks over to his desk, sits down and continues work on the damaged tricorder::

OPS_Nash says:
CTO:  They don't care if I am carrying new life or not, they go out of their way to bump into me and call me a traitor and then have the bloody nerve to say that I will never see my babies.

jEO_Wilson says:
Adams: I am... so confused. I tell you, it's all T'Lin's fault... my mind was so clear... but it's not so, now... this was her doing.

Host CO_Ayidee says:
Adm: In a way, it's mine.  It was my mothers, before...before she died.  It was recovered a couple years ago during a sting operation the Huron crew was involved with.

Host Adm-Alexander says:
CO:  I don't want a path that leads back to me, not for a while anyway.  I need time.

Host Adm-Alexander says:
CO:  Sounds good Tio.  Trent, is that ship agreeable with you?

Host Adm-Alexander says:
CO:  Can two men run it by themselves?

OPS_Nash says:
::tears really start to roll down her face::

CNS-T`Lin says:
::Takes the TL to sickbay, and enters.  The security gives her guarded looks, but she is not intimidated.  She walks over to Adahn's bedside.::  jEO: How are you feeling today, Adahn?

jEO_Wilson says:
<Adams> jEO: Wilson... stop thinking about it. Just forget it.

Host XO_Worthington says:
::taps his feet, anxious to get under way:: Adm: I guess it will have to do, unless you wanna let me borrow the Cherokee. ::smiles::

Host CO_Ayidee says:
Adm: One person could easily.  When she died, it was her and me and I was barely walking.

CTO_Hazzard says:
:: seems to stand still for a second...his face starting to show tell tale signs of Hazzard Anger starting to build.  Fighting the urge to stalk down and personally destroy a certain Security Officer he blows a big breath out. ::

jEO_Wilson says:
Adams: It's difficult.. God, I sound like a broken record, this is all damningly - Oh, God! ::gets up as he senses T'Lin entering, and he looks over at the door::

Host Adm-Alexander says:
XO:  Ok Trent, take her, when you get out of the system com me.  I might have other information for you at that time.

Host CO_Ayidee says:
Adm/ XO: The Phasers from the Sequoia could be swapped in if you wanted, internal access so it could be done enroute.

CTO_Hazzard says:
OPS:  I am truly sorry Ma'am.  They are not gonna lay a finger on you....by whatever deity is up there...I swear it.

Host Adm-Alexander says:
CO:  What is the password to get into her Tio?

jEO_Wilson says:
::gets up, standing over the Captain... and whispers:: T'Lin: Why are you.. why are you here?

Host Adm-Alexander says:
XO:  Trent, take the phasers from the Sequoia... I want you armed to the teeth!

CSO_Nash says:
:: Comforts Kyleigh and assures that that won't happen.:: CTO: I don't know if you heard about my promise to Smith, but I did make him one. And I intend to fulfill it when we are exonerated.

CNS-T`Lin says:
::whispers:: jEO:  I just wanted to see how you were.  Everything okay here?  Is your Captain recovering okay.  I did not want to disturb him.  He does not seem to like me very much.

Host CO_Ayidee says:
XO: Varda is the password now.

OPS_Nash says:
CTO:  Do you know how much that hurt me, that's worse than someone putting a knife in my heart.

jEO_Wilson says:
::grimaces:: CNS: How... how dare you feign concern, Counselor... how...

CTO_Hazzard says:
:: looks at both the Nash's and shakes his head. :: CSO/OPS: oh ...that tears it.  I have had enough of this.  I aint waitin for exoneration...you just don't do that to a lady...it aint proper and it sure as heck don't happen to my family....blood kin or not.  :: looks up at the ceiling :: Computer: What is the location of Lieutenant Hardchest?

CNS-T`Lin says:
jEO: Adahn? What .. what is wrong?  Did I do something to offend you?  If I did I am sorry.

OPS_Nash says:
CTO:  Hazzard!! NO!!!!!!!!!

Host XO_Worthington says:
CO/Adm: On my way. 
jEO_Wilson says:
::sighs, and looks away for a moment, then back at T'Lin:: CNS: You know, I thought you were honestly trying to help, to make me feel better... but you were really just trying to manipulate me, weren't you?

OPS_Nash says:
CTO:  Don't make this any worse than it is, PLEASE!!!

CSO_Nash says:
CTO: Mark, do not retaliate and that's an ORDER, mister!

CNS-T`Lin says:
jEO: Adahn?  What do you mean, manipulate you?  I would not.  Why are you acting this way?  You know I did not do anything.  You saw what I saw.  It is the truth.

CTO_Hazzard says:
CSO/OPS: I gotta do something....that gasbag is taking some major enjoyment out of causing you two pain.....what kind of CTO am I if I allow that to happen?

Host XO_Worthington says:
::leaves the Admiral's office and heads for Cargo bay 6::

OPS_Nash says:
CTO:  The kind that will be a friend to us, please Mark, don't sink to their level.

CSO_Nash says:
CTO: Mark, a smart one. We can handle it. We haven't let it get to us that badly. Just let them hang themselves.

Host CO_Ayidee says:
::Hopes that this may take some of the memories of the ship away, the doubts.::

Host Adm-Alexander 8SB OPS*:  OPS beam EO Pandora from the Cherokee directly to my office.

jEO_Wilson says:
CNS: I was such a fool. I should have known. If you were hiding something, it would have been an easy task for you to manipulate your mind, give me false thoughts, hide your true thoughts... but my captain is on to you...as am I. He was wise not to trust you - I was a fool for doing so.

Host Adm-Alexander says:
EO:  I am Admiral Alexander.  I have a task for you.  Feel up to it?

CTO_Hazzard says:
:: sighs...obviously not happy with what’s going on...:: OPS: Okay...no tar and feathers for him just yet.....but the next time you need to go anywhere...you wait for either myself....Scotty...or one of my boys to escort you....aint no body gonna lay a finger on you or your younguns while both of us are around.

CSO_Nash says:
CTO: Mark, if it will make you feel any better, I will request that all sessions with Smith be conducted on us as the couple that we are.

CEO_Pandora says:
::Materializes in the admiral's office, the damaged tricorder and a small spanner still in his hand.. Looks around the room, realizes the company he's in is quite high in rank and drops the tricorder to go to attention, or at least some state similar to it::

Host XO_Worthington says:
::exits the TL to a maintenance room near the cargo bay. removes his uniform and replicates civilian clothing::

OPS_Nash says:
CTO:  The only time I am going to leave my quarters is when I absolutely have to, other than that, I am not leaving.

Host CO_Ayidee says:
CEO: At ease, Ensign.

CTO_Hazzard says:
:: puts his hands on his hips and nods. :: CSO/OPS: sounds good Scott.  Look guys....I'm sorry...I just...I feel so useless right now...I'm supposed to be in charge of protecting you guys...and I am doing a real crummy job of it.

CEO_Pandora says:
::Looks at the captain, then at the admiral:: Adm: Sorry admiral.. ::Picks op the tricorder and spanner:: It... It really depends on what... What task you want me to fulfill..

CNS-T`Lin says:
jEO: Adahn, look .. I am not trying to hide anything.  What you saw was the truth.  I understand your Captain may think we did this, and right now I do not have any proof that we are innocent.  If you want me to leave, I will leave.  I do understand.  But I do hope that somehow, someway the truth will come out.

CNS-T`Lin says:
jEO: I just wanted to know that you were feeling better.

Host CO_Ayidee says:
CEO: We've got a job we need you to do.  A fact finding mission, which you'll be doing with Commander Worthington.  Taking the Trader's Shuttle Goddess Chariot  to try and figure out who set us up.  If you can.

Host CO_Ayidee says:
CEO: You'll be going in Civilian attire, just in case you're being watched.

jEO_Wilson says:
::pauses, and glares at the CNS, then sighs and looks away:: CNS: No... no, I'm not feeling any better. I feel horrible... just horrible. And I don't know what to do about it. I'm going crazy... I don't know what to do, what to believe...

jEO_Wilson says:
<Adams>::frowns:: jEO: Wilson....

CEO_Pandora says:
::Thinks for a moment:: CO: It depends... What class and configuration is it? As for going, I don't see a problem with that, really...

CSO_Nash says:
CTO: Mark, you are doing a superb job for the limitations placed on all of us. Please stop doubting yourself. We will take care of ourselves, and if we need you we can always count on you. And don't think that we will hesitate in calling you if we can't handle a situation.

CNS-T`Lin says:
jEO: I can not blame you or your Captain for thinking we did it.  I saw the video.  I would not have believed it myself, but Adahn, you have to believe me .. I did not know.  Anyway, I think I hear your Captain calling you.  I should probably go.

Host CO_Ayidee says:
CEO: Cait Trader Shuttle, similar in size to a Runabout, but a bit old.  She's been basically out of service for 20 years, although I had her checked out when she was recovered.

CEO_Pandora says:
::Nods:: CO: I'll have to get used to the systems, I guess.. But in all, it should do... What exactly would be our mission, if I may ask?

jEO_Wilson says:
CNS: No! ::pauses:: No. Please stay...

Host CO_Ayidee says:
CEO: To find some evidence to get us out of this.  Someone set us up, so someone else has to know who did it.

jEO_Wilson says:
<Adams> jEO: Wilson!

CEO_Pandora says:
::Nods:: CO: Very well.. When do we leave?

jEO_Wilson says:
Adams: Don't worry, sir.. you can trust me. I... I just need to talk to her.

CNS-T`Lin says:
jEO: I do not wish to you get you in any trouble with your Captain.

Host CO_Ayidee says:
CEO: Immediately, Commander Worthington is already prepping.  Just do me a favor, keep to yourselves and don't put your necks out.  Good luck.

CTO_Hazzard says:
:: picks up the bottle and smiles. :: CSO/OPS: well...I went to the trouble of bringing us something to drink....might as well enjoy it.  How about a drink, Mrs. Nash...I promise its only sparkling grape juice.

OPS_Nash says:
CTO:  No thanks.

Host Adm-Alexander says:
CEO:  Keep your com badge handy but hidden.  Understood?

CTO_Hazzard says:
:: looks over at the CSO and hands him a glass. :: CSO: One for you compadre?

CSO_Nash says:
CTO: That sounds good. Pour away.

jEO_Wilson says:
CNS: Please don't leave me here... ::goes back to his own biobed, as Adams grunts, and turns to rest on his side::

CEO_Pandora says:
CO: Thank you sir.. And hang in there, all of you.. We'll get us all cleared of charges... ::Smiles:: Adm: Of course, admiral.. and I'll be having this somewhere under my clothes too, just in case. ::Points at broken tricorder::

CTO_Hazzard says:
:: pours the CSO a glass and then himself one....then grins. ::  CSO: Whoever did this is gonna pay...you know why Scotty?

Host Adm-Alexander says:
CEO:  Just don't get caught with anything that shows you are SF, Ensign.

CSO_Nash says:
:: Takes the glass.:: CTO: I'll drink to that. But hopefully when this is settled, it will be "Whiskey for the men and Beer for the Horses."

OPS_Nash says:
CTO/CSO:  If you'll excuse me.  ::goes the bathroom and puts down the blanket and PADD, she splashes water on her face::

Host Adm-Alexander says:
CO:  Give the Ensign directions on how to find your ship.  I am sure Trent is already there.

jEO_Wilson says:
::sits down on his biobed and stays silent for a moment:: CNS: I... I don't know what to believe. I very much do NOT want to believe you... it would be a lot easier if the Cherokee did it, if they did it all...

Host XO_Worthington says:
::arrives in the cargo bay, examining the Captain's shuttle. He begins system startup and pre-flight check lists.::

Host Adm-Alexander says:
ACTION:  The Cherokee crew can feel a slight bumping sensation as the Cherokee docks with SB 33.

Host CO_Ayidee says:
CEO: It's in evidence storage, Cargo bay 6.

CTO_Hazzard says:
:: grins and clinks his glass at that. :: CSO : You got that right...nobody messes with the team of Nash and Hazzard..just aint healthy! :: takes a sip and watches the OPS leave.  CSO: I really hope I didn't cause more harm than good for your missus man.

OPS_Nash says:
::after splashing water on her face, she looks into the mirror and it looks as if a stranger is looking back at her but it’s really her face::

CNS-T`Lin says:
::Pulls a chair to the other side of Adahn's bed, away from Adams, and sits down.::  jEO: I suppose we are both going to have to wait until the trial or until we can prove ourselves. Hopefully the Admiral will see things differently and we will be innocent until proven guilty, although the evidence does not look too good right now.

CEO_Pandora says:
::Grins:: Adm: I'll just say I found it... And stole the tools to repair it.... I'll manage.. CO: Thank you... If you excuse me... I have a mission to fulfill... ::Nods then turns around and heads towards the door::

CNS-T`Lin says:
jEO: I can not ask you to believe me.

CSO_Nash says:
:: Clinks glasses and takes a sip.:: CTO: I don't think so. I felt the twins kicking last night, and it is getting further into the pregnancy. The moods are getting easier to affect now.

Host CO_Ayidee says:
Adm: As for the rest of the crew, they should be free to move about at the very least.  There is no evidence they were involved personally, and until there is, it fully falls upon me.

jEO_Wilson says:
CNS: You spoke with my captain. He does not trust you. And he has told me that Vulcans are known to do such things. I... you... well, I read your thoughts... and I feel like I know you a little better... and I know you're not like that... please tell me you didn't lie.

Host XO_Worthington says:
::exits the ship, noticing a weapons locker he loads the shuttle with phasers, phaser rifles, personal transporters and shield armor belts as well::

Host Adm-Alexander says:
CO:  Tio, right now I agree.  I have to take this very carefully if I don't want to find myself in the brig.

CNS-T`Lin says:
jEO: I did not lie.  I honestly do not know what happened.  That is the truth.

CTO_Hazzard says:
:: digs into his pocket....remembering the last care package his mom sent him. :: CSO: Here....let her wear this...its one of those Galan "calmstones" It kinda helps one stay calm by sonic vibration...works wonders on pregnancies I hear..Ma and Pa say hi to....

OPS_Nash says:
::she really didn't notice the ship dock upon arriving at SB33::

Host Adm-Alexander says:
CO: Tio... do you have ANY idea who might be behind all of this?

CEO_Pandora says:
::Wanders through the corridors, looking for a TL, enters one once he finds it and orders it to the quartermaster's::

CNS-T`Lin says:
jEO: I am only half-Vulcan, which I am sure is why he can not trust me.  But I would never deceive you.

Host CO_Ayidee says:
Adm: Which is why I surrender myself to your authority.  No, I have no specific suspects, although there can't be many capable of doing this.  Those capable and with a link to the Cherokee?  If there were 5 I'd be amazed.

CEO_Pandora says:
::Exits the TL as it stops and walks across the corridor, looking for a remote storage unit::

jEO_Wilson says:
::smiles:: CNS: And yet... why is that not enough for me! God... you have to understand. You saw the video. I... I watched, as this ship pounded us... shot by shot, I watched... death by death... but I will try to believe you.

Host Adm-Alexander says:
CO:  Well Tio... I can't think of anyone lately other than LoDuca, but this just does not have his touch... it seems too subtle.

CEO_Pandora says:
::Finds one, with the doors sealed, kneels down and opens the access hatch::

CNS-T`Lin says:
::Looks down.:: jEO: I understand.  I wish I could tell you more, but I just do not know.  I feel terrible, and I do not know what to say, other than I am sorry you and your Captain are in pain.  I just wish I knew what happened.  I would like to know just as much as you would what happened.

Host XO_Worthington says:
::finishes loading up the weapons and checks the ships engines::

Host CO_Ayidee says:
Adm: Does it?  His reputation is ruined, his movement in hiding.  What better vengeance than to get us?  Takes Starfleet's attention away from him, and gives him a personal satisfaction at the same time.

CEO_Pandora says:
::Takes a glance over the system before taking out and replacing some of the chips inside::

Host Adm-Alexander says:
CO:  It could be Tio, but we are going to find out.  I am restricting you to quarters, as you know I must.  But... those quarters will be mine.  T'Sara wants to see her Cait! ::grinning;:  That way we don't have to worry about being heard over the com when I need to speak to you.

CSO_Nash says:
CTO: Thank you Mark. I'm sure this will work wonders. By the way, Mom and Dad send their regards and also send this. :: Produces a medal, and he reads the message with it.:: Mr. Hazzard, on behalf of the Nash family, I present you with this medal of gallantry. May you and our son serve together for many years to come.

jEO_Wilson says:
CNS: I spoke with Captain Smith earlier today.... I did not mention my absorbing your thoughts.

OPS_Nash says:
::she starts seeing the horrible possible outcome and the tears begin to fall again, she grabs the blanket and PADD and slides slowly down on the bathroom floor::

Host XO_Worthington says:
::loads the ship full of supplies, including food, water, medical supplies and engineering equipment he transports from the cargo bay::

CTO_Hazzard says:
:: takes the medal and wipes his eyes a little bit. :: CSO: Aw man.  That aint playin fair.  Tell your folks thanks. :: hears the OPS cryin and looks over to the CSO::  CSO: I think she needs you man.  I will give you guys some privacy.

Host CO_Ayidee says:
Adm: Of course, ma'am.  Any suggestions on a good JAG officer, just in case Commander Worthington and Ensign Pandora don't succeed?

Host Adm-Alexander says:
CO:  Well I have one in mind... how about me Tio?

CNS-T`Lin says:
jEO: Captain Smith was not very nice to me.  He was the one that showed me the video.  He actually was insisting we did it.  I am just really scared.  And I am concerned for my Captain.  I am dedicated to him, just as you are to yours, and I honestly believe we are being set up.

Host CO_Ayidee says:
Adm: Do you have the time?  I'd appreciate it, but can you put the Starbase on hold for the duration?

Host XO_Worthington says:
::reaches into his jacket:: *CEO*: Ensign Pandora, prepare to be transported directly to the shuttle.

CSO_Nash says:
CTO: Thanks for stopping by Mark. I'll send my folks your regards and help the little lady into this. :: Goes over to OPS to comfort her.:: CTO: Feel free to stop by anytime.

Host Adm-Alexander says:
CO:  Tio, Sam can run this base with both hands tied behind her back, if it comes to that.

CEO_Pandora says:
::Is about to put a chip in when his combadge chirps and the XO comes through:: *XO*: Standing by sir.. ::Puts the chip down and closes the hatch::

Host XO_Worthington says:
::transports the CEO to the shuttle::

CTO_Hazzard says:
CSO: You know I will...like I said...your family...family looks out for one another. :: gives him a mock salute but before he leaves he can't help it. :: CSO: Don't worry Scotty...you can be my first officer anyday!

jEO_Wilson says:
CNS: ... Yes. Of course. ::smiles:: God... if it wasn't the Cherokee... who would go so far, as to murder - MURDER! - everyone like that... and for what purpose?

OPS_Nash says:
::doesn't notice her husband coming to her::

CSO_Nash says:
:: moves to bring the necklace around Kyleigh's neck. OPS: Let's try this on and see if it helps. Mark got it from his folks.:: CTO: Enough of that. Now get outta here before I tie you up.

CEO_Pandora says:
::Arrives at the shuttle and looks around:: XO: Thanks... I sort of.. Lost my way, I guess...

Host CO_Ayidee says:
Adm: Then in that case, you have me in your debt.

OPS_Nash says:
::she isn't fully aware that the CSO put a necklace on her neck::

Host XO_Worthington says:
CEO: Install the Sequoia weapons systems and let's get out of here.

CNS-T`Lin says:
jEO: I wish I knew.  I have not been on the Cherokee very long .. maybe two weeks, so I am not familiar with her prior missions.  They have revoked my security codes, so I can not even look at anything.  I wish I knew.  But I am sure, some how, some way it will come out.

Host Adm-Alexander says:
CO:  Tio, it is my honor... Oh by the way... there is a young lady very worried about you.  I have a message from her.  You can use my computer to retrieve it.

CSO_Nash says:
:: Comforts OPS hoping that the necklace will work it's magic.::

CTO_Hazzard says:
:: sighs...nods to the CSO and walks out, tapping his combadge.:: *MCPO D'amato*: Master Chief, its Lieutenant Hazzard...I want one of our boys with the Nash's.  Seems like the Esters crew don't know how to treat a woman properly.  Lets remind these monkeys how Security Officers SHOULD act.

CEO_Pandora says:
::Nods and heads for the phaser mounting positions to have a look at what needs to be done::

Host Adm-Alexander says:
