USS Cherokee 10405.02 Doppelganger Part 6

Host SM-Trish says:
The XO has left the Starbase and is now in search of information about who has framed the Cherokee for the destruction of 4 ships.

Host SM-Trish says:
T'Lin is now T'Dar, making rounds as an MO from the station.  Her job is to listen as well.  The CTO is visiting the seedier parts of the station for the same information.  The Admiral believes there might be a spy on the station who will report back to whomever.

Host SM-Trish says:
<Benedict> EO:  Wilson, I understand you saw everything that happened to the convoy?

Host CO_Ayidee says:
::In temporary quarters, trying to find what he can about what's going on around and who's behind all this.::

Tach_Siatty says:
::Walking the station, wondering what's happening around here.::

T`Dar says:
::Walks to her next appointment, Samantha Vernora, and reviews the notes along the way.  Samantha had just had two baby boys and was recovering from a C-Section.  Gets to the quarters and rings the door chime.::

CSO_Nash says:
:: Continues working on the fake message from OPS' mother.::

Host XO_Worthington says:
::On the Caitian shuttle, approaching the next densely populated mining colony where they may find some more clues.::

T`Dar says:
<Samantha Vernora>: Enter.  ::T’Dar enters the quarters.::

Tach_Siatty says:
Computer: Location of Commander  Worthington?

jEO_Ens_Wilson says:
::looks down, and all around the office, as he thinks back to when he was back on the convoy; he looks up at Benedict, who is waiting for an answer...::

Tach_Siatty says:
<Computer> Siatty: Commander Worthington is not on the station.

CSO_Nash says:
:: Looking over at OPS who has stretched out on one of the monitoring beds to rest.::

CTO_Hazzard says:
:: makes his way to another favored hangout of the less then trustworthy occupants of SB33. ::

Host Adm-Alexander  says:
::looks at Benedict, and decides to let him speak::

T`Dar says:
Samantha:  Hello Samantha.  My name is T’Dar.  I am here to check on how you are recovering.  I understand you have two little bundles of joy.  ::Watches as a Chihuahua comes running toward her.  She bends down to pet the Chihuahua, and another puppy, a St. Bernard comings running to her wanting to be petted.::

jEO_Ens_Wilson says:
Benedict: Considering I was on the Convoy... ::grumbles:: Yes, I did see everything there... ::pauses, hesitating, he looks over at Adams, then at the Admiral...::

Tach_Siatty says:
Self: What next then?  ::Knows something is going on, and knows better than to poke his nose too deep into it.::

T`Dar says:
<Samantha Vernora>:  ::Said in a soft voice.::  Come here boys.  No jumping.

jEO_Ens_Wilson says:
::looks back down again:: Self: But... but maybe that's not enough...

Host Adm-Alexander says:
::nods to the EO not to be afraid, and just tell everything he knows::

Tach_Siatty says:
*CO*: Captain?  This is Commander Siatty, we've met before, I was wondering if you had a few minutes?

Host CO_Ayidee says:
*Siatty*: Yes?  What was that?  Uh, sure, I have all the time in the world it seems.

CTO_Hazzard says:
:: As he enters he makes a small mental inventory of who is here.....his eyes not recognizing anyone from his last perusal of Starfleet’s Most Wanted....sighing..he walks over to the idle bartender. ::

jEO_Ens_Wilson says:
::he looks up at the admiral, it would be so much easier if he could just... talk to her, telepathically... but no. It would be rude to Benedict and Adams...:: Adm: I know what I saw... but... but there's something else, as well. I don't know what use it will be, but..."

CSO_Nash says:
:: Gets a hypothesis and begins running a time index search on the message.:: Self: Maybe this can determine if it's pieced together.

T`Dar says:
Samantha: It is all right.  I love dogs.  I wanted to get one.  I just have not had time to go looking for one.

Host XO_Worthington says:
::prepares for landing, slows down and gently sets the shuttle down:: CEO: OK, just keep quiet and stay behind me. We are looking for someone. ::gets up from his seat and moves to the hatch::

Tach_Siatty says:
*CO*: Understood, maybe we can do something about that.  I'm on my way.  Admiral Alexander's quarters, right?

CTO_Hazzard says:
Bartender: So tell me, haus.  I am looking for a guy who might be able to give me a couple of answers to some questions I might have. :: he slides a few bars of latinum across the bartop. :: Bartender: Who do I go to if I want the right answers?

Host Adm-Alexander says:
~~~EO:  What do you need to say Ensign?~~~

T`Dar says:
<Samantha Venora>: Well Peaches and Killer are up for adoption if you are interested.  I rescued them several weeks ago and have been struggling to find a home for them.  The only thing is that I really did not want to separate them.  They have grown rather used to each other.

Host CO_Ayidee says:
*Siatty*: Yes, that's right.  ::Rises, closing the useless computer file, rising to put back on his jacket and straighten his uniform.::

Host Adm-Alexander says:
<Benedict> EO:  What is that ensign?

jEO_Ens_Wilson says:
::giggles nervously:: Adm: Oh, I'm sorry, admiral... you're probably thinking, this is worse than cracking open walnuts with your bare hands... ~~~It's....~~~

CTO_Hazzard says:
<Bartender> ::takes the bars and nods his head to a seemingly empty corner. :: Hazzard: Over there, talk to the Bajoran at the table over there.

Host Adm-Alexander says:
<Adams> ::is wondering why the ensign is so hesitant::

T`Dar says:
::T’Dar’s eyes light up at the thought of having two puppies.  Checks Samantha’s stitches.  Sounds of crying babies can be heard.::

CTO_Hazzard says:
:: turns his head to see a fairly well dressed Bajoran looking at a few padds spread out before him....nodding to the bartender and making his way over to the Bajoran at his table.::

Tach_Siatty says:
::Arrives at the Admiral's quarters, reaching for the Chime and hitting it.::

CSO_Nash says:
:: Accesses the computer looking for a "Backdoor Trojan Virus" that would pave the way for a "Retrograde Worm" virus. Enters these search parameters into the computer and runs the scan again.::

T`Dar says:
<Samantha Venora> T’Dar:  Oh, they are probably in need of a diaper change.

Host Adm-Alexander says:
ACTION:  The CSO has a hit!  A small residue of a worm is detected by the computer.

CTO_Hazzard says:
:: looks the Bajoran in the eye and is about to speak before the strange man looks up and grins.  <Bajoran>: Can I help you, Lieutenant?

jEO_Ens_Wilson says:
::sighs:: Adm: Well... you know, after I arrived on the Cherokee... Counselor T'Lin came to me, we... talked extensively about what had happened.

T`Dar says:
Samantha: May I help?  ::Thinks to herself, how hard can this be?::

Host CO_Ayidee says:
Siatty: Enter.  ::Watches as the man walks in the room, memories of a chance meeting on Earth passing through his mind unbidden.::  Can I get you something to drink, Commander?

Host XO_Worthington says:
::moves out of the shuttle, looking around the dirty world they have found. Sees another bar and figures it's the best place to start.::

CSO_Nash says:
:: Sees the hit and stops the scan where it is presently at.::

Host Adm-Alexander says:
jEO:  Counselor T'Lin?

jEO_Ens_Wilson says:
Adm/Benedict: I... she... she allowed me to read her thoughts. I was... so angry that she should come to me, so confused... she wanted me to understand.

T`Dar says:
<Samantha Venora>T’Dar: Sure.  I could really use the extra help.  The twins keep me quite busy.  You take Tyler.  I will take Justin.  ::Points to Tyler.  They walk to the changing table.::

CTO_Hazzard says:
:: tries not to look shocked as he is addressed by his rank.....trying not to let it show. :: Bajoran:  I need information about goings amongst the scumbags here around stardate 10403.21.  I'm willing to pay well Mr....?  What do I call you?

Host XO_Worthington says:
:: walks up to the bar and sits down, the patrons look puzzled because there is hardly anyone in there.:: Bartender: Hey, what's a guy got to do to get a drink around here?

CSO_Nash says:
:: Thinks that this is not enough yet and lets the scan continue, but implements his trapping program to hold the virus in stasis should it show more of itself and try it's insidious degradation.::

Tach_Siatty says:
CO: Captain, good to see you.  The last few years have been good for you it seems.  Nothing to drink, thanks.  I'm guessing you could use someone to talk to, and I'm also guessing the Admiral has your crew busy.  Without much pressing in the Diplomatic schedule, I figured I could do a favor for some old friends, and the old girl.

T`Dar says:
::T‘Dar peels back the diaper, almost gagging.  Tries to hold her breath and struggles to clean little Tyler.  Grabs a new diaper to put on.  Then realizes she has it on backwards. Tries to fix the diaper.  Tyler pees - all over her.::

Host CO_Ayidee says:
Siatty: You're mistaken.  Right now, I'm just trying to get a limb up on things, try to see if there's anything I can find.  I'm fine, Commander.

Host XO_Worthington says:
::the Bartender gets up and moves to their position:: <Bartender> XO: You got a lot of nerve coming here, buddy. Now, take your little friend and get out before we have to do something about it.

CTO_Hazzard says:
<Bajoran> Hazzard : For right now just call me Mr. Profit.  Have a seat and we'll see if I have the answers your seek...as long as you have the latinum to pay for the answers..

jEO_Ens_Wilson says:
<Adams> jEO: Wilson... are you sure you want to do this? ::sits up and holds out an arm, as if stopping him::

jEO_Ens_Wilson says:
::stiffens as he hears Adams' voice:: Adams: Captain, I have to tell them.

T`Dar says:
<Samantha Venora> T’Dar: Oh, T’Dar.  I’m sorry.  Little boys .. Well I learned very quickly how to change their diapers.  I’ll get you a change of clothing.

Host XO_Worthington says:
Bartender: Hey friend, we are new in town. No need to get all uppity about it. ::looks around the bar:: No wonder your business is dead, with a personality like yours.

jEO_Ens_Wilson says:
Adm: I... I entered T'Lin's mind, explored her thoughts... there was much conflict, much conflict... with my own thoughts and ideas and interpretations and... and it was in that moment...

CTO_Hazzard says:
:: slowly he slides 5 small wafers of Latinum towards Profit.  Profit: Has anyone around here suddenly started throwing currency about.....claiming they had a good run or something?

jEO_Ens_Wilson says:
<Adams> ::stands up:: jEO: Wilson! Forget about her, and that's an order!

Tach_Siatty says:
CO: I see, but how much can you accomplish?  Would I be far off the mark to guess your access has been restricted?  I know people, Captain.  It's my job to know people.  You're alot better then you were the first time we spoke, but alot worse than you were at the Nash wedding and around the station for the past year or so when in port.

Host XO_Worthington says:
<Bartender> XO: Look, if you don't leave quickly, then you are in a lot of trouble. I am just going to say this one last time, move on!

T`Dar says:
::Changes clothing and picks Tyler back up.  Sits down to talk.  Hopes Tyler will not spring any more leaks.  The babies start getting a little cranky.::

Host Adm-Alexander says:
Adams:  Sit Captain, now!  If the Ensign has information pertinent to this investigation, I want to hear it!

jEO_Ens_Wilson says:
<Adams> ::grunts, as he sits down:: jEO: She means NOTHING... *Ensign*. I warned you...

Cmdr_Benedict says:
::Looks and listens as Wilson tells his story, being interrupted by Adams::

CTO_Hazzard says:
<Profit> :: takes the wafers and slides them over to his side. Hazzard: Why as a matter of fact, I do believe there has been someone who has come into a run of good luck recently. :: he smiles as he looks pointed at Hazzard...grinning. ::

CSO_Nash says:
:: Opens the message through the Cherokee Computer keeping the trapping program running in the background.::

Host XO_Worthington says:
Bartender: Geez, I'm real scared. Look, I just want some information, I'm not here to make things difficult. ::as he finishes his sentence, two Cardassians and a Ferengi emerge from a back room, laughing and grinning, until they see the XO and CEO.::

jEO_Ens_Wilson says:
::looks up:: Adams: I'm sorry, captain, I can't, even if it means... if it means... Adm: In that one brief moment... I knew... they didn't do it. Whether it was her lack of any memories of that time... or her own perception of the situation... that was the moment. And now... I don't know what to believe. I know what I saw... but I also know what she saw now.

T`Dar says:
<Samantha Venora> T’Dar:  It’s feeding time.  I’ll go warm their bottles up.  ::Samantha heats two bottles of formula for the twins.::

Host CO_Ayidee says:
Siatty: So now you claim to know what's in my mind?  Sorry if I don't buy it.  If Counseling were that easy, we wouldn't need your types.  I know my role, I know what I have to do, and I'm going to do it.  I'd be neglecting my duty if I didn't accept it.

CTO_Hazzard says:
:: sighs as he puts another five wafers on the table and slides it over.::

Host XO_Worthington says:
<Cardassian_1> Bartender: What is going on out here? Who are these people?

T`Dar says:
<Samantha Venora> T’Dar: Would you mind helping me?  ::She hands a bottle to T’Dar, hoping she will help to feed Tyler.  She does not normally get help and she was enjoying T’Dar’s company.::

CEO_Pandora says:
::Looks at the Cardassians and Ferengi entering::

Host Adm-Alexander says:
jEO:  Can you explain more clearly what you just said Ensign?

Host XO_Worthington says:
::looking very panicked:: <Bartender> Cardassian: No, no problems here. They are just new around town and are lost. They were just leaving.

Host Adm-Alexander says:
Adams:  If you do not allow the Ensign to speak, I will remove you from my office.  Is that clear?

CTO_Hazzard says:
<Profit>:: reaches over and adds the five wafers to the ones he's collected so far. ::  Hazzard: Well it seems that one of the crews of a very powerful Orion business man has recently been very busy in the last few weeks.  Seems they have been moving quite a lot of merchandise....

Host Adm-Alexander says:
Jones:  Come in to my office now ::raising her voice so he could hear her::

jEO_Ens_Wilson says:
Adm: Well, you are a Betazoid, admiral... so you will understand when I say that... it wasn't so much what I saw, but what I understood and what I *knew*... as far as what I saw... I saw that she was attending to her duties, prior to the attack... and then there was darkness... rather, a fading - ::turns as the admiral calls yet another person in::

Host Adm-Alexander says:
<Jones> ADM:  Yes Maam?

Tach_Siatty says:
CO: Accept the blame?  Accept that you're guilty?  If I believed that were possible, you wouldn't have gotten onto the Cherokee to begin with.  For that matter, if that were true I don't think you would have lasted on the Huron or made the remarkable career turnaround.  What is it you accepted, then?

T`Dar says:
Samantha: I would love to.  ::She takes the bottle for Tyler.  She is amazed at how hungry the little guy is.  Tyler slurps the last bit of formula down.::

Host Adm-Alexander says:
Jones:  Call security and have them standby outside my door.

Host XO_Worthington says:
::looking at the newly emerged group:: Cardassian_1: We are just here, looking for someone of importance on this dump. You know, someone that is in the know. Of course I would be willing to pay...

jEO_Ens_Wilson says:
<Adams> :;stiffens:: Adm: Aye... ma'am.

CTO_Hazzard says:
:: As the CTO and Mr. Profit speak, the bartender moves over to a com panel behind the bar.  <Bartender> ???: Boss, you might want to send some of the boys down here...someone's getting nosy.

T`Dar says:
<Samantha Venora>: Oh, T’Dar, I forgot to tell you, you have to burp him every two ounces!

CSO_Nash says:
:: Sets his padd up to be the trapping point for the virus residue hoping that enough residue will be present to reassemble the whole worm. As precaution he keys in his personal lockout into the padd.::

Host Adm-Alexander says:
Jones:  Yes Admiral ::turns and leaves::

jEO_Ens_Wilson says:
<Adams> ::pauses, then sits forward a little bit:: Adm: However... if I may interject, ma'am...?

Host XO_Worthington says:
::The Ferengi perks up at the mention of pay:: <Ferengi> XO: Well then, this must be your lucky day. Why don't you step into my office? ::points to the backroom::

Cmdr_Benedict says:
::Takes notes on his padd about Wilson's statements::

CTO_Hazzard says:
Profit: What’s the name of this businessman, I might want to look into doin some transactions with him...

Host Adm-Alexander says:
Adams:  Not another word, until Ensign Wilson is finished.  Am I clear?

jEO_Ens_Wilson says:
<Adams> Adm: Until he is finished. Yes, ma'am. ::nods slowly::

T`Dar says:
::Looks at the empty bottle, lays it down, and shrugs her shoulders. Watches as Samantha holds Justin over her shoulder and pats his back.  Picks up Tyler to do the same.  Just as she gets him almost up to her shoulder, he pukes, all over her front, all over her back.  It is everywhere!::

Host CO_Ayidee says:
Siatty: No, I'm not accepting guilt.  I'm not even accepting the charges.  What I am accepting is the process.  I know if I wanted I could throw some weight around. I may have lost some clout the last few days, but I still have friends who could help.  But that's not the way we do things, it's not the way things can be allowed to be done.

Host XO_Worthington says:
::The Cardassians look at each other:: <Cardassian_1> Ferengi: I will inspect the merchandise and then return. ::looks at the two Humans:: Maybe you will be here when I get back. I always enjoy the company of a few good human lap dogs.

jEO_Ens_Wilson says:
Adm: Thank you... ::he cannot bring himself to turn around, to look at his Captain...:: So, that much I saw... but as far as what I knew and felt and knew to be true... I could feel, from her thoughts, her confusion, that she knew nothing about the attack, that she was just as confused as we all were... I sensed no deception from her...

Host CO_Ayidee says:
Siatty: Something has to keep the thugs in line, to keep nasty, base impulses at bay.  That something is the rule of law, the system of justice.  If I fall by it, then at least I fall for the greater good.

jEO_Ens_Wilson says:
Adm: ... No subterfuge, nothing hidden... just her thoughts and her feelings. If she were any other person... or if I felt less strongly about this, I would have dismissed her... but I cannot ignore what I saw and felt, because I... I felt so confident about it. Now, I'm confident about nothing...

Host Adm-Alexander says:
jEO:  So you feel from what you read in her mind, she knows absolutely nothing about this situation? ::turns to look at Benedict::

CTO_Hazzard says:
<Profit> :: looks pointedly at his empty hand, giving him a smile that says everything he needs to know. ::

T`Dar says:
<Samantha Venora>: ::Tries not to laugh.  Gets up and hands T’Dar a towel.::  T’Dar: I guess you’re going to need a long shower.  Let me get you another change of clothing.

Host XO_Worthington says:
::watches the Cardassians walk by:: Cardassian_1: Perhaps. I enjoy the company of spoonheads just as well. ::waits to see what they will do::

CTO_Hazzard says:
:: sighs and pulls out a handful of latinum...putting it in his hand as he notices a few heavies enter the bar....::

jEO_Ens_Wilson says:
Adm: I... I know that this probably means very little. I know that telepathy has never before been accepted in testimony, or as evidence... but I felt it was important to share this with you, admiral. Though I do not know about the others of the Cherokee crew... I can say that I think T'Lin is innocent. And if that's true... ::looks at Benedict::

CSO_Nash says:
:: While the computer keeps running the scan of the message with the trapping program, he pulls out another padd and begins running scans on the chip from the mind control device.::

Cmdr_Benedict says:
::Looks up from his padd, just catching the admiral's look. Almost invisibly, he shook his head::

Host XO_Worthington says:
:: the 2nd Cardassian reaches for his weapon but the first one stops him and they leave:: <Ferengi> XO: You like to live dangerously I see. Please, let's talk business before they come back and kill you and take your money.

jEO_Ens_Wilson says:
Benedict: IF THAT'S TRUE... then maybe you need to reconsider what you've discovered... ::looks over at Captain Adams, who is now a bright shade of pink, fighting to keep his mouth shut::

T`Dar says:
::Changes clothing.  Walks back out to the living quarters, and sits back down.  Sees Samantha holding both babies, and feels guilty.::  Samantha: I will take Tyler again if you want.

Tach_Siatty says:
::Nods, holding back a smile.::  CO: I understand, although I've seldom heard of a falsely accused prisoner put his faith so strongly in the hands of the courts.

Host XO_Worthington says:
::smiles as the Cardies leave:: Ferengi: Oh, they seemed like such a nice couple of guys. ::follows the Ferengi into the back room::

CEO_Pandora says:
::Follows the XO and the Ferengi::

Host Adm-Alexander says:
Benedict:  Do you have any questions for Ensign Wilson?

Host CO_Ayidee says:
Siatty: We have to put faith in something, and to give up on it when things don't go your way isn't the way to live ones life.  To survive by giving up on what is right is to die the hard way.  I owe that to my past, and I will not betray their trust!

CTO_Hazzard says:
<Profit> :: takes the wafers and pockets them, also noticing the rather brutish pair of newcomers enter..one Orion and the other Human. ::  Hazzard:  The ship your looking for is called the Fortunate One.  Its a cargo carrier owned by a guy name Galmod....if you walk out of this bar intact, you might want to look them up.

Host XO_Worthington says:
<Ferengi>XO: My name is Durnt. I know everything there is to know about everything. Please have a seat. ::points to the chairs::

Cmdr_Benedict says:
::Nods:: Adm: As a matter of fact, yes, I do... ::Turns to Wilson:: jEO: Could you describe for me exactly how you felt about all this, before meeting with the counselor?

CSO_Nash says:
:: Begins running a scan of the chip to see if it has been activated in the past solar week.::

T`Dar says:
<Samantha Venora> T’Dar: Did you want to hold Justin?  Maybe you’ll have better luck with him.

CTO_Hazzard says:
:: nods in thanks just as one of the goons places a hand on his shoulder. <Goon#1> Hazzard: We would like to discuss some matters of great importance to you, outside.

Host XO_Worthington says:
::takes a seat:: Durnt: Well Durnt, then I have a feeling you are about to be a lot richer. Since you know everything, tell me everything you know about that Federation ship that blew up the other ones.

jEO_Ens_Wilson says:
::grumbles:: Benedict: I've... been asked that so many times now... but yes. ::rolls his eyes:: I felt... angry. Naked... as if everything had been taken away from me. As far as I was concerned... everybody was taken from me, and I had no one to talk to... and then the counselor came, and she talked to me.

CTO_Hazzard says:
:: looks at the hand on his shoulder then looks up into the Goon's eyes and growling.:: Goon#1: Take your mitts off me if you want to keep' em pal.

Tach_Siatty says:
CO: I wish I could say I see, but that's opened a can of worms that I don't think either of us is really ready for.  Am I wrong about that?

T`Dar says:
Samantha: No, that is okay.  Tyler and I have grown fond of each other.  ::Thinks to herself, no way lady.  Tyler’s already done peeing, pooping, and puking.  Justin still has a full tank.  Takes Tyler and sits down, and rocks Tyler to sleep.::

Host XO_Worthington says:
::face changes quickly:: <Durnt> XO: Oh well, I don't know anything about that. But, if you want weapons, we got em. ::presses a button that disables the holo-emitters projecting the room. Now the enormous stockpile of every weapon imaginable can be seen::

Host CO_Ayidee says:
Siatty:: No, perhaps not.  Whether it's good or not, some things feel like they're best left in the past.

Host XO_Worthington says:
::is floored by the sheer amount of weapons:: Durnt: You could start several small wars with this arsenal.

CTO_Hazzard says:
:: just as Goon#1 responds Goon#2 Discreetly displays a disruptor...pointed in Hazzard's direction.:: <Goon#1> Hazzard: We just want to talk....unless you enjoy pain...then I am sure my partner here can oblige you....I hear getting shot in the face with a disruptor is very painful.

Tach_Siatty says:
CO: But to admit where you were can help provide a guide to where you are going.  But as you will have it, Captain.  I'm just hear to talk, about whatever you want to talk about.

Cmdr_Benedict says:
::Takes notes:: jEO: Right... So, before you met the counselor, you blamed the Cherokee crew for all that? Exactly what evidence did you hold to blame the Cherokee? Visual identification, registration codes, perhaps a contact with the vessel?

T`Dar says:
Samantha: Well it is getting late.  I should be going.  Let me take Tyler to his bed for you.  And I would love to take you up on that offer with the dogs.  I will take both of them.  How much trouble can they be?  ::Walks to the nursery, and places Tyler back in his crib.::

CTO_Hazzard says:
:: slowly he raises both hands.....sighing as he lets the goons escort him out of the bar. Turning around to face the two of them as they get outside.::  Goons: So..you wanted to talk...talk.  Unless you need your Mommy's to help you sound out the big words for you.

Host Adm-Alexander says:
ACTION:  The CTO's security hang back out of sight, but close if needed.

Host CO_Ayidee says:
Siatty: If you say so.  Once a Squisher... But whatever the reason, I will not betray her memory.  Or The Captain's.

Host XO_Worthington says:
<Durnt> XO: I know. Clients of mine have already started a few. If you can think of it, we got it. We even have a little Borg technology, but I don't think you can afford that. We have everything, if it's illegal then we have it too. The Cardies like to stock up every once and a while. I have even had Romulans stop by. So what do you want?

jEO_Ens_Wilson says:
Benedict: Yes, yes, yes... I saw the ship on the viewscreen... I personally verified their transponder signal... we tried to hail them, to no avail. So, yes, I saw the Cherokee attack the Jacksonville, and destroy the other ships. Did I see the crew of the Cherokee at the helm, firing the weapons. I don't know what that means, but......

jEO_Ens_Wilson says:
<Adams> ::shakes his head:: Self: My boy, what have you done...

T`Dar says:
<Samantha Venora> T’Dar: T’Dar, you are welcome to come back any time you need a friend.  You are so much fun.  Let me get you a box for the puppies.  It will make their transport easier.

CTO_Hazzard says:
:: the goons give a toothy smile as one raises the disruptor to fire it.::

Host Adm-Alexander says:
::glances sharply at Adams::

Tach_Siatty says:
CO: You're the Captain, how can someone betray their own memory, especially someone so intent on maintaining what they believe in?

Host XO_Worthington says:
Durnt: Well, so much to choose from. I know some people that would really want to know about this place. I will definitely have to send them your way. But before I give you one red cent, I need to know about the attacks near this sector. What do you know about the Starfleet vessels that were involved?

Host Adm-Alexander says:
ACTION:  A drunk in the corridor struggles to stand up.

Cmdr_Benedict says:
::Nods, taking more notes:: jEO: Right then... So, if it was the Cherokee you saw on the viewscreen, and you personally verified their transponder signal, how could they possibly be innocent? Don't you agree, that having an entire senior staff replaced for whatever reason would be very hard, especially if the motives weren't very good?

CTO_Hazzard says:
:: figures its now or never time and leaps towards the goon holding the gun....wincing as he gets a shot off and feels the burn and pain of a glancing shot to his shoulder...tackling both of the goons to the ground as they quickly become a rolling mass of kicking and punching limbs...a loud string of expletives coming out of the young CTO. ::

Host XO_Worthington says:
<Durnt> XO: You must have trouble hearing with such small little ugly lobes. I don't know anything about that. I could care less about Starfleet, they are bad for business.

Host Adm-Alexander says:
ACTION:  Four security from the Cherokee come to the CTO's rescue, subduing the goons.

Host CO_Ayidee says:
::Shakes head.::  Siatty: Have you ever served with a real hero?  Served under her, felt honored to have been a part of her life?  Felt crushed when she died for what she felt was right because some scum bag thought that life was a commodity!  ::Not noticing the rising voice until now.::  Sorry, no, The Captain is different from the Captain.

CTO_Hazzard says:
:: not paying attention to his wounded shoulder. Hazzard grabs the weapon from one goon's hand and begins to bang the butt of the weapon into one goon. :: Hazzard:  Its...(bamm) not (whack) POLITE (smack) to shoot ( bam) Other people!

Host XO_Worthington says:
Durnt: Maybe this will refresh your memories. ::starts tossing latinum onto the table::

T`Dar says:
::Bends down to pick up the Chihuahua.  The Chihuahua pees all down the front of her shirt.  Samantha returns and just stares.::  Self:  Ugh!

jEO_Ens_Wilson says:
::shakes his head:: Benedict: I can only tell you what I saw. I admit... it would have been difficult. There is a conspiracy at work here... but I don't think it's the one you're looking for. It doesn't explain T'Lin... she is innocent. I know it.

Host Adm-Alexander says:
<Sec> CTO:  Sir, you are hurt... we will handle these two, you go get that wound fixed.

CTO_Hazzard says:
:: nods as he winces at his shoulder..looking at the sec officer.  <Sec Officer>: Wilson?....What in the name of Elvis are you guys doin here?

Host XO_Worthington says:
<Dunt> XO: Look, I am serious. I don't know anything. But, I might be able to steer you in the right direction of someone who might, but I will warn you now, they will probably kill you for knocking on the door.

Cmdr_Benedict says:
jEO: But the innocence of one doesn't automatically mean innocence of all, ensign...

Tach_Siatty says:
CO: I'm sorry, Captain.  I misunderstood.  That was... Captain Prin if I recall correctly?  I remember her death, although I never new her.  I also reviewed your record and paid enough attention to the change.  So it's her that set this rigidity to the law in you?

Host XO_Worthington says:
Durnt: Well then, point away. I am in the mood for a good killing.

jEO_Ens_Wilson says:
::stays silent, as he sits, looking forward at the admiral::

T`Dar says:
<Samantha Venora>: ::Tries hard not to laugh, and goes to get another change of clothing for T’Dar.::

Cmdr_Benedict says:
::Looks at the admiral too:: Adm: No further questions for the moment...

Host CO_Ayidee says:
Siatty: As I said, once a squisher, always a squisher.  No, it's deeper than that...far deeper.  ::Turns and looks out the window, wondering where the XO and CEO are.::  But perhaps not as deep as it once was.

Host Adm-Alexander says:
::nods at Benedict::  Adams:  You have something you wanted to add?

CSO_Nash says:
:: Continues monitoring both running diagnostics.::

CTO_Hazzard says:
:: grimaces as he feels the pain from the disruptor shot.::  Sec. Team: When I get back to the Cherokee me and the rest of you guys are going to have a discussion.  But thanks for the save...go make yourselves scarce and make sure these two dingbats get locked up somewhere for their own good....I guess I need to find the medical deck.

Host XO_Worthington says:
<Durnt> XO: Well I don't want to see you killed, how am I going to sell you these disruptors? ::takes the latinum on the table:: His name is Ora'naul. He is a trader just like me. Except, he deals with a lot of shadier characters then me. ::hands him a padd:: This should help you find him. Of course you are probably going to die.

Host Adm-Alexander says:
<Sec> CTO:  We will take them to base security, but remember sir... we are in this as much as you are.

Tach_Siatty says:
CO: It's obvious you need to talk about this, but maybe not with me?  You have someone you can talk to?

jEO_Ens_Wilson says:
<Adams> ::exhales:: Adm: Yes, madam! I do. ::stands up, and adjusts his shirt:: Admiral, all of... Ensign Wilson's testimony hinges on whether or not T'Lin was withholding something. Well, if she is not as innocent as Wilson says she is, OF COURSE she would withhold information! She probably tricked the boy, that's what she did.

T`Dar says:
Samantha: I better get going.  You must be running out of clothing by now, and I really do feel like I need a nice long shower.  ::Changes clothing .. again .. and then walks out carrying her two new puppies.::

CTO_Hazzard says:
:: slowly walks off and enters a TL....already trying to come up with a good excuse for a disruptor wound on his shoulder.::

CSO_Nash says:
:: As he devotes a little more attention to the chip, the padd running the analysis of the virus bleeps out that it has found another trace of the worm.:: Self: We're batting a thousand so far.

CTO_Hazzard says:
Self: Aw man.....the Admiral is gonna have my jimmy for a party favor if she finds out I got blasted...

Host XO_Worthington says:
Durnt: Oh well, we all gotta die sometimes. Tell my Cardassian friends I will catch up with them later. ::gets up and leaves the room as Durnt reactivates the holoemitters.::

Host Adm-Alexander says:
~~~CTO:  Ok Hazzard, I was busy so I don't know how you got hurt, but go to the main medical sickbay and ask for Troi Starr.  She knows what is going on.  Say nothing to anyone else.  Understood?~~~

CSO_Nash says:
:: Sets his PADD to download any virus residue it discovers onto his third PADD.::

CTO_Hazzard says:
:: bangs his head against the back wall as he is surprised by the sudden addition of the Admiral's voice in his head. ::

Host XO_Worthington says:
::walks out of the bar and looks at the padd:: CEO: Shouldn't be too far from here. Ready to go get murdered?

T`Dar says:
::Walks back to her quarters, and takes a long hot shower.  Gets out of the shower and notices the dogs have taken a pillow off her bed and are running around the living room with it.  There are feathers everywhere.::

Host CO_Ayidee says:
Siatty: No, if I wait, it won't come out, ever.  You want to know where it all started?  It started out there, on a small shuttle that even now seems tied to me by fate.  The Goddess Chariot.  I just hope her fate has changed, hope to all that is good in the universe.

CTO_Hazzard says:
~~~Adm. Alex: ADMIRAL?!? ~~~

Tach_Siatty says:
::Nods, wondering how far back this all went.::

Host Adm-Alexander says:
~~~CTO:  Yes Hazzard... now get going BUD!  I will see you in my office after your wounds have been repaired.~~~

CEO_Pandora says:
::Follows the XO out:: XO: No.. But let's get on with it anyway..

CTO_Hazzard says:
:: places his head in his hand and shakes it slowly...:: Self: Oh man....I am soooooo dead.

Host Adm-Alexander says:
::looks at Adams to finish::

Host XO_Worthington says:
CEO: That's the spirit, Godfrey. ::starts walking toward the tall building in the center of the square::

CTO_Hazzard says:
~~~Adm. Alex: Yes Ma'am.~~~

CEO_Pandora says:
::Follows the XO one step behind::

jEO_Ens_Wilson says:
<Adams> Adm: I told him and told him, T'Lin's just messing with your mind, Wilson! But he refuses to get it through that skull of his. I apologize for this... irrelevant path he's led us all down.

Host CO_Ayidee says:
Siatty: It's funny, really, there's 2 events that I call the turning points in my life, and both revolved around slavery.  Revolved around people living by their own rules, by their own brute force.  My mother was killed by scum, slaver's who did it out of spite.

CTO_Hazzard says:
:: slowly enters the sickbay and looks around...asking for a Doctor Starr as he holds his shoulder lightly. ::

Host Adm-Alexander says:
Adams:  What do you think of what he saw in T'Lin’s mind?

T`Dar says:
Dogs:  Killer!  Peaches!  What have you done!  ::The dogs get scared and they both pee everywhere.::

Host Adm-Alexander says:
<Starr>  CTO:  The Admiral just notified me you would be coming.  Come to my office please.

jEO_Ens_Wilson says:
<Adams> Adm: To be honest, ma'am, I think nothing of it at all. It's obvious she's trying to hide something - Look, ma'am, I saw what I saw, as did Wilson. OBVIOUSLY T'Lin's lying. She has no alibi.

Host XO_Worthington says:
::reaches into his pocket to make sure his Colt revolvers are ready just in case:: CEO: Ok, hopefully we won't need to, but just in case. ::hands him a personal transporter:: Just push the button and you are back on the shuttle.

Host CO_Ayidee says:
Siatty: Then there was Captain Prin, who was killed trying to stop scum from selling Trill Symbionts, sentient beings with multiple lifetimes of memories.  The law is the universes only protection against such scum.

CTO_Hazzard says:
:: does as the Doctor says...walking into her office and sitting down..hissing as the movement causes him more pain.  :: Starr: Your the doctor, doctor.

Host Adm-Alexander says:
Adams:  So you are unwilling to listen to any evidence other than your own Captain?

Host Adm-Alexander says:
<Starr>  CTO:   Remove that shirt... ::begins to run the medical tricorder over him::

Host XO_Worthington says:
::moves up to the door and presses the chime, a voice comes out of the intercom:: <Voice> What do you want?

Tach_Siatty says:
CO: I understand, I understand completely.

CEO_Pandora says:
::Takes the personal transporter and puts it in his pocket::

CTO_Hazzard says:
:: does as she asks....though feeling rather embarrassed being topless in front of a strange woman. ::

T`Dar says:
::Takes over an hour to clean the mess in her new quarters.::

jEO_Ens_Wilson says:
<Adams> ::steps back slightly, a little flabbergasted:: Adm: Of course not! This is not even evidence! This is merely hearsay! Telepathic psychobabble...

Host Adm-Alexander says:
<Starr>  CTO:  You are lucky Lt.  1/2 inch to the left and you would be playing a harp.

Host XO_Worthington says:
::presses the intercom:: Out Loud: I am here to see Ora'naul. I have the latinum ready.

CSO_Nash says:
:: Taps in the parameters for the worm stasis field and sets it to run on the third PADD.::

CTO_Hazzard says:
:: grins a little :: Starr: Its a good thing that the goon was a lousy shot....I don't know how to play a harp.

Host Adm-Alexander says:
Adams:  But if hard evidence can be provided, are you still open to hearing it?

Host XO_Worthington says:
<Voice> Ora'naul only sees people with an appointment. If you don't have one then leave!

jEO_Ens_Wilson says:
<Adams> ::crosses his arms:: Adm: Of course. I have yet to see any, however, ma'am.

Host Adm-Alexander says:
<Starr>  ::begins to run a dermal regenerator over the wound, then picks up a hypo with antibiotics in it::

Host CO_Ayidee says:
Siatty: Good, do me a favor though?  Write this stuff down, pass it on to Counselor T'Lin.  And a copy to me, so I can send it to the right people.  And add to it if needed.

CTO_Hazzard says:
Starr: I don't suppose you have anything for a headache do you?

Host XO_Worthington says:
Out Loud: Oh, I have one. ::pulls out his phaser and blasts the intercom:: CEO: That should get their attention.

Host Adm-Alexander says:
<Starr>  CTO:  The admiral gave me explicit orders not to give you any pain killers whatsoever Lt.  If I were you, I would be VERY meek when you see her.

CSO_Nash says:
:: Keys his personal lockout code into the third padd to provide the last security needed to trap the worm when it downloads into PADD 3.:: Self: No flushing it this time.

CEO_Pandora says:
:: Shakes his head as the XO blows the intercom to pieces:: XO: Yeah.. but I'm not sure whether that was a good idea...

CTO_Hazzard says:
::sighs :: Starr: Oh boy....why do I have the impression I had better odds with the goons?

Host XO_Worthington says:
::Suddenly the door opens and two Naussicans walk out:: <Naussican> XO/CEO: You two just made the biggest mistake of your short little lives.

Host Adm-Alexander says:
<Starr>  CTO:  You did... ::grins::

Tach_Siatty says:
CO: Of course, Captain, I'm here to help.

T`Dar says:
Self: This is going to be a long night!

CTO_Hazzard says:
:: looks up and winces...:: Starr: Respectfully Speakin, Doc....but your bedside manner needs some work.

jEO_Ens_Wilson says:
<Adams> ::sits back down:: Adm: If Wilson here had any hard evidence, then good. But right now, he's merely repeating what he heard, nothing more, nothing less.

Host Adm-Alexander says:
ACTION:  Angel walks into Starr's office.  She sees the CTO and attacks his right leg, ripping it to shreds.

Host Adm-Alexander says:
<Starr>  CTO:  It is usually good Lt... Out Loud: Angel!  Stop that right now!

CTO_Hazzard says:
:: reaches down and swats the ball of fur and fangs and claws off of his leg. :: Angel: Off me you walking throw pillow!!!

Host XO_Worthington says:
Naussican: Oooh, I'm just trembling in my boots. Look, we are here to se Ora'naul. ::throws down a stack of latinum:: That's are down payment. Now let me in RIGHT NOW!

Host Adm-Alexander says:
ACTION:  The CTO is now bleeding profusely from the wounds inflicted by Angel.

Host CO_Ayidee says:
Siatty: It almost happened again, you know.  Same organization caught a group of us from the Huron a few years back.  We got lucky then, Intel had the same group marked and intervened in the nick of time.  That was when we recovered the Chariot, which Commander Worthington is flying about now.

Host Adm-Alexander says:
<Starr>  ::reaches down and grabs Angel before she really gets mean::

Host Adm-Alexander says:
<Starr>  CTO:  Sorry, she is a little protective.  Let me repair those claw marks!

Host XO_Worthington says:
::the second Naussican bends down and picks up the latinum while the first one just laughs:: <Naussican> XO: I like you. I normally hate humans, but you are funny. Wait in here. ::shows them in::

Host Adm-Alexander says:
::reaches for a hypospray which contains a mild pain killer::  CTO:  Here, I feel you need this. ::then injects him::

CTO_Hazzard says:
:: winces as he shakes his head.  :: Starr: Well at least T'Lin doesn't know about this....she would kill me if she found out I got hurt.

Cmdr_Benedict says:
::Looks up as a silence comes over the room, not sure what to say or do, he coughs softly::

Host CO_Ayidee says:
Self: May it lead him to better luck than her last journey, by Illuvatar's blessing.

CTO_Hazzard says:
Starr: Thanks Doctor.

T`Dar says:
::lays some paper down on her floor and points the dogs to the paper.::  Dogs: This is where you want to do that.

Host Adm-Alexander says:
<Starr>  ::begins to cut off the leg of the pants Angel tore to shreds, runs the regenerator over it::

jEO_Ens_Wilson says:
::looks up:: Adm: Admiral... I'm sorry. This is really difficult for me. Will that be all?

CSO_Nash says:
:: Goes over and checks on OPS. Seeing that she is breathing deeply and has a placid serene look on her face he lightly kisses her on the cheek and goes back over to the running diagnostics allowing her the fitful rest she needs.::

Host XO_Worthington says:
::walks into the overly ornate entrance room:: CEO: Jeez, these gun runners live the good life. I'm just glad the Naussicans found me as funny as I do.

Host Adm-Alexander says:
ALL:  Everyone dismissed.  Your testimony will be needed when SFC decides on the court martial dates.

CEO_Pandora says:
::Looks up at the XO, whispering:: XO: Just luck.. Normally, we'd have been dead now.... ::Sighs as they enter the building::

jEO_Ens_Wilson says:
Adm: ::nods:: Admiral. ::he gets up slowly, and he tries to avoid Captain Adams; he stays back, letting Benedict and Adams leave first...::

CTO_Hazzard says:
:: sighs and stands up...feeling better but not looking forward to his next conversation with the Admiral. :: 

Host XO_Worthington says:
::as they wait a tall man walks into the room:: <Ora'Naul> XO/CEO: Who are you two and why have you insulted me?

CTO_Hazzard says:
Starr: Doesn't a condemned man get like a last meal or something?

Host Adm-Alexander says:
::gets up from her desk and decides to walk down to sickbay::  Self: I am going to shoot him myself, if he doesn't have a good explanation for this!

Cmdr_Benedict says:
::Nods, getting up and heading for the exit::

Host XO_Worthington says:
Ora'naul: Excuse me but we were the ones disrespected. We just came here to give you money in exchange for some information.

Host Adm-Alexander says:
<Starr>  CTO:  Lt. she is on her way.  I suggest you make this a good story, or you may be visiting our Brig for a long time.

Host XO_Worthington says:
<Ora'naul> XO/CEO: What could be so important that you would be willing to die for it?

CTO_Hazzard says:
:: sighs and looks up at the ceiling...:: Ceiling: Now would be a good time for you to send and angel and save my butt ....
