Host CO_Ayidee says:
::In Conference Room, trying to continue reviewing what's come in, but not having much luck concentrating.::
Host Adm-Alexander says:
::standing at the head of the table, waiting for silence::
EO_Wilson-Ilianor says:
::about to enter the room, where he sees a number of people already seated; he smiles as he looks at each and every single crewmember::
OPS_Nash says:
::in Sickbay, in front of a monitor waiting for the conference to begin::
MO-T`Dar says:
::Takes a seat at the conference table, notes in hand.::
CMO_Brabas says:
::he is sitting in the chair and has brought two bottles of wine and begun to replicate glasses for everyone::
CEO_Pandora says:
::Runs through the corridor to the conference room, padd in his hand::
Host CO_Ayidee says:
MO: Doctor, how is Lieutenant Hazzard?
Host Adm-Alexander says:
::Looks around the room, waiting for her XO to arrive;:
CTO_Hazzard says:
:: shifts unconsciously slightly..as if in a bad dream ::
CEO_Pandora says:
::Stops in front of the door, straightening his uniform and taking a deep breath before getting in:: All: I'm sorry I'm late.. ::Walks over to one of the vacant seats and sits down::
MO-T`Dar says:
CO: There is not much we can say yet.  He is stable, but the rest is up to Hazzard.
CMO_Brabas says:
::he opens and begins to pour wine in the glass::
Host CO_Ayidee says:
::Nods, knowing everything is being done that is possible.::
CMO_Brabas says:
All: Please, help yourselves.
MO-T`Dar says:
::Looks down at her notes, trying not to express her emotions.  Gets up, takes a glass from Jovan.:: CMO: Thank you, Jovan.
CMO_Brabas says:
::He takes one and sits in the chair thinking what will he tell to the Admiral::
Host Adm-Alexander says:
MO:  I believe we have a little surprise for the rest of the crew.  Would you like to introduce yourself for those that do not know you?  ::grinning::
Host Adm-Alexander says:
CMO:  Nice idea Jovan, thank you for thinking of it.
EO_Wilson-Ilianor says:
::looks around:: Self: I can't handle this...
Host Adm-Alexander says:
~~~EO:  You will be fine, just take a deep breath.~~~
OPS_Nash says:
*CMO*:  No thanks Doctor, I will pass.
CMO_Brabas says:
Adm: Stress has to go somewhere and what is good to calm it down? Wine.
Host Adm-Alexander says:
CMO:  Would you order a juice for me please?
CMO_Brabas says:
*OPS*: I will send it to you, it is good to take some of it.
EO_Wilson-Ilianor says:
::glances to the side, then forward again:: ~~~Adm: Will do, admiral... I'll be fine.~~~
OPS_Nash says:
::asks a nurse to bring her some water::
CMO_Brabas says:
Adm: Of course.
CEO_Pandora says:
::Declines the CMO's offer and goes over his notes instead::
Host CO_Ayidee says:
CMO: Thanks, I'm not much for mind numbing substances, but can't stand on ceremony.
MO-T`Dar says:
ALL: Hello everyone.  I guess it is time to let you all in on a little secret.  Some of you may have already guessed this .. ::looks at the EO:: but I have been undercover as T'Dar, but I think I can tell you all now.  It's me, T'Lin.
CMO_Brabas says:
::He walks toward replicator:: Computer: Centurion Flower juice with extra flavor, 4 degrees Celsius.
Host Adm-Alexander says:
ALL:  I had T'Lin undercover as an MO from the Starbase.  Sometimes shut-ins know more that we do.
EO_Wilson-Ilianor says:
::his jaw drops at T'Dar's announcement; he slams his hand on the desk, and chuckles nervously:: MO: Like... wow...!
Host XO_Worthington says:
::after being told the Admiral is not in and to report to the conference room, Trent makes his way and enters the room:: Admiral: There you are Admiral. I was wondering what was going on.
MO-T`Dar says:
::Laughs::  EO: Yes, that would be me.
Host Adm-Alexander says:
::grins at the surprised look on her crew's faces::
OPS_Nash says:
::knew somehow that T'Dar was in fact, T'Lin, something in her eyes tell her so.::  *MO*:  I thought that was you, I kept quiet for you, my friend.  ::smiles::
EO_Wilson-Ilianor says:
::turns to hear the door open, and sees the XO enter; he stiffens, and quickly looks away::
CMO_Brabas says:
::As computer makes a juice he takes it and walks back to Admiral::  Adm: Ma`am here you go. ::Gives the  juice::
Host Adm-Alexander says:
XO:  About time you showed up Trent!  Take a seat up here please.
CEO_Pandora says:
::Looks over at T'Lin, smiling. She had already told him just over an hour ago::
Host CO_Ayidee says:
All: Perhaps, but aren't we shut ins ourselves right now?
CMO_Brabas says:
::He takes a seat::
MO-T`Dar says:
OPS: Thank you.  ::Smiles::
Host Adm-Alexander says:
CNS:  When we leave here, either Jovan or Troi can makes the appropriate changes.
MO-T`Dar says:
CEO: And I am sorry Dylan.  I forgot I had already told you.
MO-T`Dar says:
ADM: Thank you, ma'am.
Host Adm-Alexander says:
::nods to the CMO for the juice::
Host XO_Worthington says:
::takes his seat and looks around in confusion:: Adm: Yes ma'am. Though I feel like I am missing something.
CEO_Pandora says:
::Smiles:: MO: That's quite alright...
Host Adm-Alexander says:
XO:  T'Dar ::points to the Vulcan woman:: has just explained who she is, you missed it.
CMO_Brabas says:
Adm: There is no problem to do so.
MO-T`Dar says:
XO: Want to take a guess who I really am?
OPS_Nash says:
::takes the ice water from the nurse and takes a sip and puts it beside her on the table, a make shift surgical tray::
Host XO_Worthington says:
MO: No, never really was too fond of games.
CMO_Brabas says:
CNS: Of course if you wish someone else could do it?
EO_Wilson-Ilianor says:
::snorts at the XO's comment:: Self: No surprise there.
MO-T`Dar says:
XO: It's me, T'Lin.
Host Adm-Alexander says:
XO:  If you would, tell us what happened after you left Starbase 33.
Host Adm-Alexander says:
CEO:  Feel free to step in with any details you may think of.
EO_Wilson-Ilianor says:
::he looks towards T'Lin, and bowing slightly with a curt smile, as if saying thanks for the risk she took::
Host XO_Worthington says:
MO: Well, what's with the get up? Man, I leave for a few days and everything falls apart.
OPS_Nash says:
::feeling a bit left out, because she is not there with everyone, and she begins to wonder where her husband is::
Host CO_Ayidee says:
XO: More then you know, I'm afraid.
CNS-T`Lin says:
::Laughs.:: XO: What can I say?  You were missed?
Host XO_Worthington says:
ALL: Mr. Pandora and I began our search of the mining worlds surrounding the Starbase. The first world led us to meet a Ferengi with an interesting assortment of toys.
Host Adm-Alexander says:
~~~OPS:  Your job is to watch, and take care of the twins, unless you have something that needs to be added.~~~
CEO_Pandora says:
::Sits back, glancing at the admiral for a moment:: Adm: Thank you Admiral.. I will... ::Turns back to Trent::
OPS_Nash says:
::nods toward the Admiral in acknowledgement of the message she heard in her mind and smiles::
Host XO_Worthington says:
ALL: Our search led us to a weapons smuggler named Ora'Naul who in turn led us to another smuggler named Jolvert. The tips provided led to the capture of Galmod, or the guy with only one knee.
Host CO_Ayidee says:
::Cringes at the mention of the name, slightly.::
Host XO_Worthington says:
ALL: All of this leads me to believe that there is a larger than expected force working here. I would not be surprised if we had listening eyes around us on this station.
CMO_Brabas says:
::Listens and takes a sip of wine::
Host Adm-Alexander says:
CO:  Perhaps you could fill the XO in on what happened from there.
Host CO_Ayidee says:
XO: Unless his operation grew dramatically over the past few years, he couldn't be alone.
Host CO_Ayidee says:
XO: One question, what was the name of the ship he was on?
OPS_Nash says:
::has a feeling that the XO is 100% correct in his theory::
Host Adm-Alexander says:
XO:  Were you followed back to 33?
Host XO_Worthington says:
CO: Sir, the ship is in Cargo Bay 8, call it an early Christmas gift. Adm: No ma'am. I made sure to take the long way.
Host Adm-Alexander says:
::nods to her XO::  XO:  Well, after arrival, Galmod made a big mistake.  He tried to goad the Captain, and thanks to our new EO, he stopped him. ::grins at Wilson::
EO_Wilson-Ilianor says:
::smiles slightly, and tips his head::
CEO_Pandora says:
::Glances over to Wilson, then looks back to Worthington::
CNS-T`Lin says:
::Smiles at the EO, and winks.::
Host Adm-Alexander says:
CEO:  I am sorry you haven't had a chance to meet your new EO.  Ensign Wilson, meet CEO Pandora.
Host CO_Ayidee says:
All: No, that's not quite correct, his goading almost worked, and it led to the guards moving from the Brig, out of position.  And that led to the attack on Lieutenant Hazzard.
CEO_Pandora says:
::Smiles:: Adm: In fact, we have met, in security..
EO_Wilson-Ilianor says:
Adm: We've met. CEO: Sir. ::smiles::
Host XO_Worthington says:
::looks stunned:: CO: Attack sir?
Host Adm-Alexander says:
ALL:  Well it was a bit confusing there for a while, everyone excuse me if I make a few mistakes. ::smiling::
Host CO_Ayidee says:
XO: Someone, and at this point all evidence points to Investigator Bennedict.  He stabbed Hazzard, then made off with a prisoner.
Host Adm-Alexander says:
CNS:  Could you give us a brief run-down of the CTO's wounds, and what you found at the sight of the stabbing?
Host XO_Worthington says:
CO: How could that happen? What is Mark's condition?
CMO_Brabas says:
ALL: But still I don't understand how he or them did know on which ship to send a message? Is that a lucky guess or did they know what ship they are after?
Host CO_Ayidee says:
XO: I wish I knew.  The guards over reacted, at least one of them should have stayed at their post, especially in a room filled with Security Officers.
Host Adm-Alexander says:
CMO:  There is no doubt they knew exactly who to send the message to.  OPS’ mother’s name was attached to it.  The Cherokee was targeted.
CNS-T`Lin says:
ALL: Lt. Hazzard was transported to sickbay.  He's lost 2 pints of blood, has a punctured lung, but is stable.  After being stabbed, he crawled several feet to the console to alert us to the escape.
Host XO_Worthington says:
CNS: Prognosis, Doctor?
CMO_Brabas says:
Adm: Yes but why us?
CEO_Pandora says:
::Closes his eyes, refraining from making comments on the subject at hand::
OPS_Nash says:
::really wants to have a word with whomever puts her mother's name to a communiqué meant to cause harm to those on the Cherokee::
Host Adm-Alexander says:
CMO:  That is what we are trying to determine Jovan.
Host CO_Ayidee says:
CMO: We'll get to that, we have a good idea why.
CNS-T`Lin says:
ALL: We still do not know if he is going to make it.  ::looks down at her notes, and taking a deep breath.::  It's up to Hazzard at this point.
CNS-T`Lin says:
ALL: All the forensic details point to Commander Benedict.  We have DNA fingerprint evidence of the captor in the cell, but nothing pulled up in the database on this individual.
Host XO_Worthington says:
ALL: Then when do we leave? We can't let this guy escape!
Host Adm-Alexander says:
XO:  Had it not been for the quick thinking of the CO and CEO, Hazzard would probably be dead.
CNS-T`Lin says:
ALL: They saved his life.
Host Adm-Alexander says:
XO:  And where do we go?  Do you have any ideas?
Host CO_Ayidee says:
XO: Relax, we'll find him, but we can't go chasing a trail without a lead.
CEO_Pandora says:
::Opens his eyes at the mention of his name, but still doesn't comment on it::
CMO_Brabas says:
Adm: I have looked and looked on the computer files and only one thing has brought a motive. It’s the Captain’s link with Galmod.
CNS-T`Lin says:
CEO: Dylan, thank you for what you did .. for Hazzard.
OPS_Nash says:
::listens to what is being said then she turned around to look at the patient on the other biobed, it was indeed Hazzard::
Host XO_Worthington says:
ALL: Then we make them come to us. I'll take one of the freighters and draw our enemy out. Then you send in the reinforcements.
Host CO_Ayidee says:
XO: Commander, I understand and feel your urge to do something, but let's get the facts sorted first, and make a more concrete plan from there.
CTO_Hazzard says:
:: lets out a feeble moan....his life monitor not changing from the barely there readings. ::
Host Adm-Alexander says:
CMO:  Good point Jovan... but he is not the head.  Tio seems to think there is someone a lot smarter than Galmod.
CEO_Pandora says:
::Looks at Worthington:: XO: As long as you know I'm not going to join you in that mission...
Host Adm-Alexander says:
::tries to hide a smile at the CEO's statement::
Host XO_Worthington says:
ALL: And if it's any old friends of ours, then they will come for me. Look, we can make plans till we are blue in the face but the longer we wait the further Benedict and his cronies get away.
Host Adm-Alexander says:
XO:  From what we can discover, some of the crew think that LoDuca may have a hand in all of this.
CMO_Brabas says:
Adm: Someone who could even use Galmod for their purpose.
EO_Wilson-Ilianor says:
::straights, and leans forward::
Host CO_Ayidee says:
All: No, Galmod doesn't have the resources, skill, or true motive to pull this off.  Nor does he have access to the equipment we think was used.  But we know of one underworld figures does have access to that equipment.
CNS-T`Lin says:
::Gets a sick feeling in her stomach at the sound of LoDuca's name.::
Host Adm-Alexander says:
EO:  Could you tell the XO what you discovered about the equipment you traced.
EO_Wilson-Ilianor says:
Adm: Aye, ma'am. ::clears his throat, as he looks up when he hears his name being called; he walks to the front of the room and accesses the display, to show the communications system in question; he glances at the XO, and purses his lips::
EO_Wilson-Ilianor says:
All: Well, I investigated the specific communications system that was used to encrypt and send the message that Lt. Cmdr. Nash received, supposedly from his mother. I determined that only two companies produce anything similar to that.
EO_Wilson-Ilianor says:
::he passes around some padds:: All: Kaldar Tech... folded after the Dominion War. Furthermore, I was able to find a much closer match in the Retek Industries database. I... uh... ::giggles:: ... was a bit, shall we say, creative when it came to finding this information in their database. But suffice it to say, this communications system was...
EO_Wilson-Ilianor says:
All: Well... unique, and was installed on a top-secret experimental Warbird... one which was subsequently stolen by someone you all should know... a man by the name of LoDuca? Yes.
EO_Wilson-Ilianor says:
All: ::frowns and folds his hands in front of him:: All: As far as tracking the whereabouts of this Warbird now... I would say is difficult if not impossible. Surely the Tal'Shiar is looking for this Warbird - and as far as I could tell from the databases I... accessed, the Warbird is still unaccounted for.
EO_Wilson-Ilianor says:
Adm: If she's cloaked, in silent running, able to elude the Tal'Shiar... ::turns to the Captain:: CO: I am hoping, however, that perhaps this... Galmod... might be able to provide some sort of information on this matter.
Host XO_Worthington says:
::wonders why this new EO keeps eye-balling him, figuring he may have to introduce himself the best way he knows how::
OPS_Nash says:
::begins to wonder when the EO will take a breath while his is talking::
EO_Wilson-Ilianor says:
::looks up:: Adm: Is that alright, ma'am?
Host Adm-Alexander says:
ALL:  But we do have one advantage... ::pauses and waits for the question to be asked::
Host Adm-Alexander says:
EO:  Fine job Ensign.
Host XO_Worthington says:
Adm/CO: LoDuca will come after me. What better way to flush out our quarry?
Host CO_Ayidee says:
All: If Galmod knows who he's working for, and where, but I believe Commander Worthington is right, we have bait.
Host Adm-Alexander says:
CO/XO: I meant other than using the XO for bait.
EO_Wilson-Ilianor says:
::smiles nervously, and sighs a sigh of relief, as he stands about with the padd in his hands, wondering if he should sit down now...::
CNS-T`Lin says:
ALL: Are you suggesting we use the XO as bait?  I am not so sure about this.
Host Adm-Alexander says:
CNS:  Not at this point, but it may come to that T'Lin.
CNS-T`Lin says:
::cringes::
Host CO_Ayidee says:
All: I didn't mean just Commander Worthington, but the ship itself might be bait.
Host Adm-Alexander says:
ALL:  I believe everyone has forgotten one critical piece we do have, and can use.
Host XO_Worthington says:
Adm: I volunteer. Anything to stop that nutcase is worth it to me. I can be ready to leave in five minutes.
CNS-T`Lin says:
ADM: The chip?
Host Adm-Alexander says:
CNS: Exactly! ::smiles at her::
Host Adm-Alexander says:
ALL:  That is our ace in the hole if we need to send out Trent.
CNS-T`Lin says:
Adm: But I thought if our XO gets near that chip, he will be effected.
EO_Wilson-Ilianor says:
Adm: Ah, but Admiral, we cannot use this chip for our own purposes - it is completely controlled by, I suppose, LoDuca.
Host Adm-Alexander says:
CNS:  No, but its range will let us know when LoDuca is near.
CMO_Brabas says:
All: If it happens I will prepare something better. A little drone with a location interface under your skin Mr. Worthington, I will not prepare a letter for your family again.
CNS-T`Lin says:
Adm: I see.
Host Adm-Alexander says:
EO:  Exactly EO.
CMO_Brabas says:
::Looks at XO::
Host XO_Worthington says:
ALL: He's smarter than that. He won't stumble out blindly unless there is something he wants. And he wants me dead. But not just dead, dead by his hands. That is the weakness we can exploit.
Host Adm-Alexander says:
ALL:  So we have all our pieces and are fairly sure who is the head.  Agreed?  ::looking at her crew::
Host XO_Worthington says:
Adm: Yes, agreed.
Host CO_Ayidee says:
Adm: Agreed.  Question is, what is the best way to lure him out.
CNS-T`Lin says:
Adm: Aye, agreed.
Host CO_Ayidee says:
All: We're still under investigation, correct?
Host Adm-Alexander says:
ALL:  I suggest we get the Cherokee ready to fly.  I think we need to make our routine border patrol on the Cardassian border. ::grins evilly::
CMO_Brabas says:
::Noods:: Adm: If there was another way I would like to hear it but as I see there is not. I agree.
Host Adm-Alexander says:
CO:  I have sent all the information we have gathered to SFC.  They agree, the Cherokee has been exonerated.  We are to find who did this, and if possible bring back for punishment those involved.
EO_Wilson-Ilianor says:
Self: Emphasis on the punishment...
CEO_Pandora says:
::Doesn't know enough about the LoDuca situation to have a clear opinion about it::
CMO_Brabas says:
EO: Can you help me with something?
Host CO_Ayidee says:
Adm: But is that public knowledge?  If not, then we could control the route of the bait a bit better.  Have us escorted to trial.
EO_Wilson-Ilianor says:
::turns to the CMO:: CMO: Doctor? Certainly... what do you need?
OPS_Nash says:
::breathes a sigh of relief as she hears that they have been exonerated::
Host Adm-Alexander says:
CO:  SFC feels they will not come out for a trial.  We want to draw them to the Cherokee... believe Captain, we have unforeseen help.
CMO_Brabas says:
EO: I need to put that micro drone under the XO’s skin but its range is small. Could you make it to be longer?
Host CO_Ayidee says:
Adm: But what of a prisoner escort through an under traveled system?  Isolated target, so to speak.
Host Adm-Alexander says:
CO:  Explain that further Tio, you have lost me.
Mysterious_Mastermind says:
:: sits on the bridge of the ship....looking at both Benedict and the Goon with mild displeasure...:: Benedict: Why did you leave Starbase 33 in such a hurry, Mister Benedict?  And why is this..:: points at the goon:: thing..on my bridge?
CEO_Pandora says:
::Looks over at the CMO when he asks Wilson for help, then turns back to the admiral when he hears what he needs help with::
CMO_Brabas says:
CEO: Of course if you don’t mind taking him without your approval?
Host XO_Worthington says:
::suddenly it hits him:: EO: How is the shoulder doing, Ensign?
EO_Wilson-Ilianor says:
CMO: Were we not to use the small range to our advantage, to detect the location of the Warbird, doctor?
CEO_Pandora says:
::Turns back to the CMO and nods at him:: CMO: Don't worry, doc. ::Smiles::
EO_Wilson-Ilianor says:
::he stiffens again as he hears a voice behind him; he hesitates, then slowly turns around, looking right into the XO's eyes:: XO: My shoulder... is fine... sir.
Host CO_Ayidee says:
Adm: We let the public know a trial is going to be held.  Put it somewhere semi remote, where we'll have to travel to get to it.  Make the route relatively isolated.  I'd guess if they want to kill us, that would be a great place to do it.  Alone, on the way to the trial, dead and still under suspicion.
Host XO_Worthington says:
EO: Excellent. You can thank me for saving your life some other time. ::grins::
CMO_Brabas says:
EO: What is wrong with your shoulder?
Host Adm-Alexander says:
CO:  I will pass your suggestion along to SFC.  For the moment though, we need to get the Cherokee underway.
Host CO_Ayidee says:
Adm: If we're exonerated, they loose the dying in disgrace part, though.
CMO_Brabas says:
::He takes tricorder::
EO_Wilson-Ilianor says:
::frowns at the XO for a second, to try to figure him out... then lets out a small smile:: XO: Yes... some other time, sir. ::smiles, and turns back to the CMO:: CMO: No need, doctor, it is fine now.
Host Adm-Alexander says:
<Benedict> MS:  I had to bring him, or let SF have him, which do you prefer?  ::grimaces::
Host CO_Ayidee says:
Adm: If it were me, that would be important.
Mysterious_Mastermind says:
Benedict: What I prefer, Mister Benedict, is to have Cherokee isolated, confused. Now...did you at least manage to kill your quarry..or will  I have to clean up THAT mess too?
Host Adm-Alexander says:
CO:  You have your orders, which are the same as mine.  Remember you will not be alone.
CMO_Brabas says:
EO: As a short range I meant a 100m and that is small range, we need a bigger distance.
Host CO_Ayidee says:
Adm: Understood.
Host Adm-Alexander says:
<Benedict>:: flinches::  MS:  No, he is still alive. Also, Galmod as been captured.
Host Adm-Alexander says:
CMO:  It has a range of 1000 km, thanks to the CSO.
Mysterious_Mastermind says:
:: sighs dramatically...idly removing his disruptor from his holster as he speaks.:: Benedict: I have spent many months setting this operation up, I have bled for this operation....I have sacrificed for this operation and you mean to tell me you can't even clean up after your own MISTAKES properly!
Host Adm-Alexander says:
CMO:  And there is no need to insert it into the XO again.
CMO_Brabas says:
Adm: Now that is a good thing to hear. Then there is no need for modifications, Mr. Wilson.
Host Adm-Alexander says:
<Benedict> ::begins to back away::
CMO_Brabas says:
::smiles at Admirals conclusion::
EO_Wilson-Ilianor says:
::smiles at the ADM and the CMO:: CMO: Very well, then. ::turns to the CEO:: CEO: And my orders once we are back onboard the Cherokee, sir?
Host CO_Ayidee says:
All: Very well, let's get our things together and get the ship ready to launch.
Host XO_Worthington says:
Adm: Admiral, may I have a word with you?
Host Adm-Alexander says:
CSO:  OPS is to stay here on the SB.  We will take no chances with her delivery.
Host CO_Ayidee says:
CNS: Is Hazzard well enough to join us, or do we have to leave him behind?
Host Adm-Alexander says:
XO:  Certainly Trent.  Alone?
CSO_Nash says:
CO: Aye sir. ADM: That's the best I could get out of it was 1000 km. :: Looks apologetic.::
CNS-T`Lin says:
CO: Captain, he is still in shock.  He will not be able to travel.
CMO_Brabas says:
Adm: Admiral this bottle of wine is still not open. I think that is best to give it to you for safe keeping.
Host XO_Worthington says:
Adm: Yes, ma'am.
CEO_Pandora says:
::Turns to Wilson:: EO: You'll know as soon as I know.... But I'm guessing we're going for an emergency start-up... ::Turns to the CO:: CO: Captain, do we have a set departure time yet?
Host Adm-Alexander says:
CNS:  Troi will take good care of him T'Lin... and you have an appointment so you are dismissed now.  We have a lot to do.
Host CO_Ayidee says:
::Nods.:: CNS: Very well.
CSO_Nash says:
ADM: Agreed Admiral. Thank you for extending the hospitality.
Mysterious_Mastermind says:
:: grins maliciously :: Benedict:  All my work has been centered on this operation...dealing with that worm Galmod, acquiring all the necessary tools to get this far.  And now you tell me that you cannot even be useful to me. ::  points his disruptor at the goon and fires....the goon vaporizes with an agonized scream. ::
Host Adm-Alexander says:
CMO:  I will keep it for your return Jovan.
CNS-T`Lin says:
Adm: Admiral, may I please see Hazzard before I leave?
OPS_Nash says:
::wonders if her husband will remain with her while she is "stranded" on the Starbase::
CMO_Brabas says:
Adm: Thank you.: He nods and waits for others to get on there way  to leave the room::
Host Adm-Alexander says:
CNS:  He is in sickbay and Starr is waiting for you.  Dismissed.
Host CO_Ayidee says:
CEO: It will take at least a few hours to gather the crew and prepare the ship.  I'm aiming for launch in 3 hours time.
Mysterious_Mastermind says:
Benedict: Do not disappoint me again, Mister Benedict.  I might not be so forgiving next time.  Coordinate with the freighter convoy...try to at least do something right.  :: sighs:: Self: Good help is soooo hard to find these days.
Host Adm-Alexander says:
ALL:  Dismissed.  You know your jobs, so let's do them quickly.
CNS-T`Lin says:
::Leaves the conference room and heads back to visit with Starr, hoping there will be time to see Hazzard before she leaves.  Gives a nod to all as she exits.::
CEO_Pandora says:
::Nods:: CO: Thank you sir.. ::Turns back to Wilson:: EO: Scrap that emergency launch, we can take it easy... ::Smiles::
Host Adm-Alexander says:
<Benedict>  ::gulps::  MS: Yes Sir..
CMO_Brabas says:
::He gets going into Cherokee Sick bay::
EO_Wilson-Ilianor says:
::his eyes widen:: CEO: Surely, we should start immediately nevertheless, sir?
Host XO_Worthington says:
::waits for the crew to leave:: Adm: Ma'am, the Cherokee can't stop that Warbird. LoDuca could fry us in seconds. There is only one way to skin this cat.
CSO_Nash says:
:: Prepares to leave and calls his wife.:: *OPS*: We are putting out now. You behave yourself and hold those two bundles of joy off until we get back. I'm sorry I can't be here to comfort you, but orders are orders.
CEO_Pandora says:
::Smiles:: EO: Don't worry... We're going.. ::Gets up:: You know the way? ::Smiles again::
CNS-T`Lin says:
::Takes the turbolift to sickbay to see CMO Starr.::
Host Adm-Alexander says:
XO:  Trent, since when don't you trust me?  Remember I said you would have help?  Does that help bring anyone to mind? ::grinning::
Host CO_Ayidee says:
CEO/ EO: It will take some time to gather the crew anyhow.  I should be on the Bridge soon, don't have anything I need to pick up.
Mysterious_Mastermind says:
Benedict: Do not disappoint me again, Mister Benedict.  I might not be so forgiving next time.  Coordinate with the freighter convoy...try to at least do something right.  :: sighs:: Self: Good help is soooo hard to find these days.
OPS_Nash says:
*CSO*:  Hurry back, I need you here for their arrival.
EO_Wilson-Ilianor says:
CEO: I'm afraid not, you'll have to assist me. I... haven't had much of a chance to familiarize myself with the Starbase.
Host XO_Worthington says:
Adm: Yes it does, our good Romulan friends, but that does not change the obvious. There is only one way to stop LoDuca.
CSO_Nash says:
*OPS*: I'll do my best to help the others make this as short as possible.
CEO_Pandora says:
::Nods:: EO: Very well, follow me.. ::Heads out of the room and into the nearest TL:: TL: Docking ports.
OPS_Nash says:
*CSO*:  You better, I love you.
Host Adm-Alexander says:
XO:  If it is indeed him Trent.  We are guessing at this point.  Everyone on the Cherokee was targeted.  LoDuca is the pat answer.
EO_Wilson-Ilianor says:
::steps into the turbolift with the CEO; he hesitates for a second, then, without turning to face him:: CEO: I, ah... feel I need to apologize for... almost blasting your head off, sir.
CNS-T`Lin says:
::Enters sickbay, and looks around for Starr.  Since she is nowhere to be seen, she walks over to OPS bedside.::  OPS: How are you doing, Kyleigh?
Host XO_Worthington says:
Adm: It's him, ma'am, I know it. And the only way to stop him is to get on board that Warbird. Then, we have a chance.
Host Adm-Alexander says:
XO:  Sam will be talking with Galmod to see if we can get answers from him.  And you know her, she will not stop.
Mysterious_Mastermind says:
:: smiles as he picks up a small model of a New Orleans class ship in his hand....chuckling...:: Self: This should be very interesting...all the pieces are in place....and when the time comes...:: he crushes the model ship..parts falling to the floor :: I will CRUSH those in my path. :: Laughs Maniacally.::
CSO_Nash says:
*OPS*: I love you too. And the two of you behave until I get back. :: Beams a thought at his unborn children.::
OPS_Nash says:
CNS:  I'm okay, how's Hazzard over there?
CNS-T`Lin says:
OPS: Not good.  I am hoping he will be okay.  I don't want to see anything happen to him.
CEO_Pandora says:
::chuckles:: EO: Don't sweat it... You did what you thought is right, and I can't blame you for that...
CSO_Nash says:
:: Leaves from the conference room with the others.::
Host Adm-Alexander says:
XO:  I am also going along for the ride.  Have my quarters ready for me.
OPS_Nash says:
CNS:  I hope so.  I want to hear more tales from Kevin's past.  Plus, he would be an asset to my little ones.  ::rubs her abdomen::
EO_Wilson-Ilianor says:
CEO: You could if I blasted your head off... ::grins and turns to face him:: ... But let's put that behind us now, sir. ::smiles, and faces forward again::
Host CO_Ayidee says:
::Turns and leaves the Conference Room, headed for the ship.  His few belongings left behind are of no concern right now, they can wait.::
Host XO_Worthington says:
Adm: Yes Admiral but when the time comes I will have to go to that ship and face him down. You can order me to do it or you can order me to not do it but it won't change the outcome.
CEO_Pandora says:
::Exits the TL and heads for the Cherokee's docking port, walks through and straight into the ship's TL:: TL: Main engineering.
Host Adm-Alexander says:
XO:  We shall see.  Now get out of here and get my ship ready.  I have a lot to do before we leave.
CNS-T`Lin says:
OPS: I will keep any eye on him for you.  Anyway, I don't see Starr around, so I think I am going to sit by Hazzard until she comes in.  ::Walks over to Hazzard's bedside, which happens to be next to Kyleigh's.  Grabs his hand and squeezes it.::  CTO: Come on, Hazzard.
Host XO_Worthington says:
Adm: Yes ma'am. Permission to visit a friend before we depart?
Host Adm-Alexander says:
:;raises her eyebrow::  XO:  Who?
Host XO_Worthington says:
Adm: Mark, I would like to see him before we go.
EO_Wilson-Ilianor says:
::follows the CEO closely, as they enter another turbolift:: CEO: It's like a maze, here, sir. ::sighs, and stops himself:: What am I saying, I'm starting to blather again. I apologize, sir. I'm just... very nervous about coming back here.
Host Adm-Alexander says:
XO:  Permission granted Trent.  See you later!
CSO_Nash says:
:: Takes the padd with the worm fragments and a recording of Galmod for later use.::
Host XO_Worthington says:
Adm: Thank you Admiral. ::heads for the turbo lift and takes it to sick bay::
Mysterious_Mastermind says:
Helm: Set course for Diego Gamma...Warp 5 if you would....time to go....shopping. :: Continues to laugh evilly as he sits in his command chair...secluded in shadow. ::
CEO_Pandora says:
::Nods:: EO: I understand.. Well, you'd better get used to the maze you're in now... It's our ship.. ::smiles::
Host CO_Ayidee says:
::Arrives at the ship, giving security the proper ID codes, headed for the Bridge.::
Host TroiStarr says:
::walks around the corner and see T'Lin::  CNS:  I believe you and I have another appointment?  ::grins::
EO_Wilson-Ilianor says:
::stops the CEO, grabs his arm:: CEO: Sir... I need to know. Is my being on your team going to be a.. a problem for you?
CSO_Nash says:
:: Walks up at the same time as the CO and does as he does.::
CNS-T`Lin says:
CMO Starr: Aye.  ::Reluctantly gets up, squeezes Hazzard's hand, gives him a kiss on the cheek and whispers in his ear.::  CTO: Get well, Hazzard.  ::Follow Starr to a room in the back.::
CEO_Pandora says:
::Exits the TL:: EO: We're here... ::Walks through the large engineering doors, into the room, seeing it's very quiet inside:: EO: Amazing how quiet it is when we're on station power...
Host XO_Worthington says:
::exits the turbolift and walks into sick bay:: CNS/Troi: Permission to check on the patient?
Host TroiStarr says:
::looks up::  XO:  Certainly Trent, just stay quiet please.
CNS-T`Lin says:
::Looks at the XO and tries to smile as she follows Starr.::
Host TroiStarr says:
CNS:  In here, take off your clothes and let me know when you are ready.
CEO_Pandora says:
EO: As for you being on the team, it depends on how good an engineer you are.. ::Smiles:: You'll find me professional enough to not mix personal and professional problems. At least not too much... ::Winks::
EO_Wilson-Ilianor says:
CEO: Personal problems? There are personal problems already? All I did was try to kill you. ::takes a look around Main Engineering::
Host XO_Worthington says:
::looks down at the CTO:: CTO: Hello Mark. Seems like you had a bit of trouble while I was gone. Sorry I wasn't here to help you. I am sure we could have taken them all out, just us two. ::grinning::
Host Adm-Alexander says:
COM: CSO:  Kevin, make sure that chip is in working order.  We are going to need it.
CNS-T`Lin says:
::Undresses.::  CMO Starr: I am ready.
Host CO_Ayidee says:
::Enters Bridge.::  Computer: Begin Transfer of control to Bridge, under my command.  Authorization 9990, Wink 426, Ayidee go.  ::Watches as the status lights start to change.::
Host TroiStarr says:
::walks into the room::  CNS:  Ok, you know the routine by now.  Get on the biobed and let's get you looking the way you always did.
CSO_Nash says:
@COM: ADM: Aye Admiral. Got it tucked safely and It'll be ready.
Mysterious_Mastermind says:
:: hits a button on his console..:: *LoDuca* : Captain LoDuca, would you be so kind as to invite our good friends to the party at Diego Gamma...I would hate for them to be late to their own funeral.
CNS-T`Lin says:
::Hops onto the biobed and lies down.::  CMO Starr: I am all set.  Let's get this underway.
Host XO_Worthington says:
CTO: Anyhoo, I know you think that I don't like you, but that isn't true. I think you will be one of the best CTO's ever one day.
Host TroiStarr says:
::nods as she administers the hypospray to knock her out::
CEO_Pandora says:
::Laughs:: All: Alright everyone, listen up... ::Sees three engineers appear from the console bays to the side:: We're leaving dock in three hours, we're going to start up our engines from a cold status... You know what to do...
OPS_Nash says:
::hopes Kevin remembered to find a place for Menix to stay::
Host CO_Ayidee says:
::Sits in the Command Chair for a second, then nods as the first crew arrive and start to take their stations.::  Crew: Get her ready to fly, I'll be taking a quick tour of the ship.

CEO: And me, sir?
CSO_Nash says:
:: Enters the bridge after stopping by his quarters to put Menix in a safer area of the ship. Enters the bridge and goes to his station and uses the override the Admiral told him to bring his station online.::
CEO_Pandora says:
::Glances at the MSD, seeing the control system lights turn green one by one:: EO: Excellent, we're going green.. I need you at the impulse drive control console... We're starting the impulse engines first, to provide power to get the warp core going..
Host CO_Ayidee says:
::Enters the room, looking at the statue.::  MacDonald: At least your name is clear again.  Wish us luck, ma'am.  ::Turns and continues the tour.::  *All hands*: Report to the Cherokee as soon as possible.  We depart in three hours.
LoDuca says:
#COM: MM: This is LoDuca. I see that everything is proceeding as planned. I will give old Captain Kitty a call. I hope he hasn't forgotten me.
Host XO_Worthington says:
::exits onto the Cherokee and makes his way to his quarters to change into his uniform and put his guns away::

Mysterious_Mastermind says:
:: chuckles ::#COM: LoDuca: I am sure they haven't., oh and Captain...have fun with it...if you can't enjoy galactic domination...what's the use of it.
OPS_Nash says:
<Lt_Tiernan>  ::gets OPS online on the Cherokee, meanwhile hoping things will work out so everyone will l be back in time for the birth of her friends' twins::
Host TroiStarr says:
COM: CO:  Captain, I will be finished with T'Lin just in time for departure.  I will beam her site to site.  Have your CMO check her once she is there.  She is limited to light duty for 24 hours.
CSO_Nash says:
*CO*: Sensors are ready, I have the chip wired into a display on my console. I am also going to use the message from Galmod and the worm for a little surprise for our friends.
Host CO_Ayidee says:
@COM: Starr: Understood, I'll have Sickbay ready for him.
CEO_Pandora says:
::Remembers the checklist for a cold start-up:: EO: Align cold fusion reactors...
LoDuca says:

Host TroiStarr says:
ACTION:  LoDuca's voice is heard all through the ship.
Host CO_Ayidee says:
*CSO*: Understood Commander, I'm taking a quick tour to ensure the ship...What was that?
EO_Wilson-Ilianor says:
CEO: Aye, sirrrrr- aiya! ::looks up as he hears a very disturbing voice over the comsystem::
Host TroiStarr says:
COM: CO:  Understood Captain.  Starr out.
Host CO_Ayidee says:
*CSO*: Red Alert, contact the Admiral, let her know to isolate the ship and seal it!  I'm on my way back to the Bridge.
LoDuca says:
OUT LOUD: Don't think I didn't forget about you guys. I was thinking of throwing a bash for my favorite crew and it just so happens that now is a good time for me. Wait, hold on a sec, let me check my date book. ::more whistling is heard.::
Host TroiStarr ACTION:  The Cherokee goes to Red Alert.
Host CO_Ayidee says:
*CEO*: Is Engineering secure?  Lock down all systems that are operational.
EO_Wilson-Ilianor says:
::shakes his head, and brings up a display of the cold fusion reactors:: CEO: Cold fusion reactors misaligned by 12.30 microns, 9.12 microns, 3.18 microns. Realigning now... ::presses some functions to get the computer to do it for him:: Check.
Host TroiStarr says:
COM: CO:  What is going on?  Sam stated you have a red alert?  ::begins to pace::
Host CO_Ayidee says:
Computer: Scan ship for life signs without a comm badge.
EO_Wilson-Ilianor says:
CEO: I suspect we're going to have to pick up the pace here, sir.
CEO_Pandora says:
::Sets the exhaust to face backwards:: EO: Increase fuel flow to.... ::Hears the red alert:: *CO*: On it captain! ::Steps away from the console:: Computer: Computer, lock down all engineering access ways, authorization Pandora three tango!
CSO_Nash says:
*CO*: Aye Captain. :: Takes the ship to Red Alert.::  @COM: ADM:  Admiral, We are at red alert. It seems that business is about to pick up.
LoDuca says:
OUT LOUD: Hmm, ok, I already killed them, and then I went to Aunt Janine's wedding, yup, I'm free! So come on down to....um, dang, I forgot. Hold up, it's written down somewhere.
Host TroiStarr says:
<Computer> CO:  There are 3 life signs in crew quarters without COM badges.
CEO_Pandora says:
::Nods, as he turns back to Wilson:: EO: correct... You continue starting the impulse systems, I'm starting with the warp core...
Host CO_Ayidee says:
Com: Adm: Either LoDuca is aboard, or he has a remote link.  Knowing him it's probably the later, but I’m not taking that chance.
Host CO_Ayidee says:
Computer: What species is each?  Any bipedal?
EO_Wilson-Ilianor says:
CEO: Aye, sir. Activating power-up reserves... the impulse engines are online. Power output at 5%... 10%.. 17%... ::slowly increases the power output of the impulse engines...::
CSO_Nash says:
:: Activates the chip  and watches for any action from it.::
LoDuca says:
OUT LOUD: Here it is, Diego Gamma. And I know what your thinking, it must be a trap. Well if I tell you that it is will that make you feel better since you all think I am a liar, which is really rude by the way.
Host TroiStarr says:
<Computer>  CO:  All are bipeds, one Vulcan, one human, on Andorian.
Host CO_Ayidee says:
::Turns to a weapons locker, drawing a Type II before resealing and locking.::
CEO_Pandora says:
::Walks to the warp core control console and starts working on it, meanwhile focusing on securing access to any systems that came online after the lock-down::
Host CO_Ayidee says:
Out loud: I don't think you're a liar, just a coward and a traitor.  Computer: Where is the human?
EO_Wilson-Ilianor says:
::looks up from his console and calls out from over his shoulder:: CEO: Power output is now at 43%. I believe that should be enough to proceed for the time being, sir.
Host ADM-Alexander says:
<Computer> CO:  Deck 8, section 32.
LoDuca says:
OUT LOUD: Oh well, I'll see you there. I have been just dying to show you my new toy. And Captain Kitty, try not to lose anymore CTO's on the way. Oh, and tell Trent his mom says hi. Peace out!
CEO_Pandora says:
::Nods:: EO: Get the plasma injectors going! ::Taps his console again::
Host CO_Ayidee says:
*CSO*: Look for signs of a remote link to our systems, see if he might be outside the ship.  ::Enters TL,::  Deck 8, Section 32.
CSO_Nash says:
:: As he activates the chip it lights up as bright as the North Star.:: *CO*: I have activity on LoDuca’s bandwidth.
Host CO_Ayidee says:
*CSO*: Can you trace it?
Host ADM-Alexander says:
ACTION:  The chip the CSO has picks up a sight blip, in the direction of Diego Gamma quadrant.
Host XO_Worthington says:
::runs full sprint to the bridge knocking over everyone on the way to the turbolift:: TL: BRIDGE, NOW!
OPS_Nash says:
@::shifts into a more comfortable position::

Host CO_Ayidee says:
Com: Adm: Ma'am, we might have another problem.  Contact Starfleet Academy, check on Commander Worthington's mother, please.
Host ADM-Alexander says:
::nods to Sam to place a priority one call to a friend::
EO_Wilson-Ilianor says:
CEO: Aye, sir. EO2: Assist me. ::accesses the plasma injectors, and begins to feed ionized gas through:: CEO: It will take some time for the plasma injectors to operate at full capacity.
Host ADM-Alexander says:
@COM:  CO:  Why?  You haven't told me what is going on?  Is it LoDuca or someone else? ::nods to Sam to make the connection to SFA::
CEO_Pandora says:
EO: Aligning dilithium injector assembly.. ::Looks up briefly, then turns back to his console again:: Just make sure we don't over-heat them...
Host XO_Worthington says:
::bursts out of the turbolift:: Out Loud: If that SICK FREAK has touched one FREAKIN hair on my mom's head I will destroy him and his entire FLEET!
Host CO_Ayidee says:
Com: Adm: Sounds like it is.  I'm trying to figure out what's going on.  ::Arrives on deck and knocks on door.::
Host ADM-Alexander says:
@COM: CO:  Tio, make sure Trent does nothing rash, I have a call into them right now.  Give me a few minutes.
CEO_Pandora says:
::Steps away from his console and walks to Wilson's console, looking over what he's doing for a few moments::
EO_Wilson-Ilianor says:
CEO: I've got a few tricks up my sleeve for such an occurrence. But I doubt that will occur, sir. ::checks the impulse engines and back to the injectors:: CEO: Power output of impulse engines at 94%; plasma injectors at 83% of full capacity.
CEO_Pandora says:
