USS Cherokee 10408.15 Doppelganger Part 18

Host SM-Trish says:
The USS Cherokee has finally found their double.  And it appears to be their double in every way, down to the ID code.

Host SM-Trish says:
The C2 has crossed the border into Cardassian space.  In pursuit, the Cherokee is stopped and not allowed to enter until Gul Devar reaches them.

Host SM-Trish says:
Apparently the C2 is preparing a fleet, but a fleet for what purpose?  Will the Cherokee find out, and make it out alive to warn the Federation?

Host SM-Trish says:
The Cherokee has been comm’d by the arriving Gul Devar:  #COM:  USS Cherokee: Federations Vessel, This is Gul Devar onboard the Cardassian Union Warship Brall'ur, I understand we have something of a problem. But I am sure that we can all work out some sort of solution. Stand By for further instructions.

Host CO_Ayidee says:
aOPS:  Any idea how we're being selectively jammed if we're all alone in space, relatively speaking?

CEO_Pandora says:
::Sits in main engineering, feeling tired of the work he had over the past few days.::

aOPS_Tiernan says:
::On Bridge at station.::  CO:  Sorry Captain that is currently eluding me at the moment.

CNS_T`Lin says:
::Sitting in her chair with a headache from all the tension.::

Gul_Devar says:
#COM:  USS Cherokee:  Federation Vessel, this is Gul Devar.  May I please speak with your Captain?

Host CO_Ayidee says:
aOPS:  I can think of two options, cloaked source or internal jamming.  Let's eliminate the latter.  Put Devar through, please.

EO_Ilianor says:
::On the bridge, at ENG1, watching as reports of the shield generator repairs file in.::  CO: Captain, we may not be alone in space.  Could the Romulan Warbird we are looking for be in the area?  It was an experimental ship, after all.  Perhaps they have made upgrades to their cloaking device.

aOPS_Tiernan says:
CO:  Yes Sir.  ::Puts Devar through.::

Host CO_Ayidee says:
EO:  A very likely option.

Host SM-Trish says:
ACTION:  Gul Devar appears on the screen.

Host CO_Ayidee says:
COM:  Devar:  Gul Devar, this is Captain Ayidee of the Starship Cherokee.  We have a problem, it seems.

CEO_Pandora says:
::Feels his stomach rumble again.  He hadn't had anything to eat for several hours now.::  EO: Crewman Bodarov, I'll be in the mess hall if you need me.  I should be back in half an hour, or less.  ::Heads for the exit.::

Host Gul_Devar says:
::Turns and looks at the Captain with an appraising eye.::  #COM:  USS Cherokee:  Yes, it seems we do.  Perhaps you could explain it to me so I can tell these warships they have better things to do than to be .. what is the term .. oh yes, babysitting you.

CEO_Pandora says:
EO:  Oh, and Bodarov.  You have engineering until I return.

Host CO_Ayidee says:
COM:  Devar:  Recently, a Federation Supply depot was raided by a New Orleans class starship masquerading as us.  They escorted a fleet of freighters with the loot from said haul, and have taken it into your space.  I don't know what they plan on doing with it, but they have the weapons and Warp cores to build a fair sized fleet, easy.

Host CO_Ayidee says:
COM:  Devar:  Obviously, that is a threat to both our powers.

CNS_T`Lin says:
::Begins to feel a little more at ease.  For once, someone appears to be on their side.::

EO_Ilianor says:
::Looks up from his console, and the reports coming in, to watch the Cardassian on the screen.  Why can't they just cooperate!::

Host Gul_Devar says:
::Nods at this, seeming to ponder these words.  Turning to an officer off screen, he barks several orders in a gruff voice before returning his gaze to the CO.::  #COM:  CO: Captain, I am sending the other ships to investigate your claim.  However I will ask that we discuss this in more detail.  That old Grump Baret did not give me many details.

CEO_Pandora says:
::Exits main engineer and enters the TL, ordering it to the mess hall.:: 

aOPS_Tiernan says:
::Notices something peculiar and she gets the Captain's attention and she whispers.::  CO:  Captain, the jamming has suddenly stop at the same time you are talking to him.

Host CO_Ayidee says:
COM:  Devar:  Understood, he seemed unwilling to accept the possibility of the threat when we explained it to him.  Made me rather suspicious.  Where would you like to meet?

Host CO_Ayidee says:
aOPS:  Then send word to Starfleet, quickly.

Host SM-Trish says:
ACTION:  The jamming begins again.

EO_Ilianor says:
aOPS:  I'll help you run a scan of the ship for any signs of active jamming equipment having been set up.  Oh, wait.  Oh, heck!

Host Gul_Devar says:
#COM:  CO:  Well seeing as you have come all this way, would it be acceptable for me to beam aboard your vessel, just myself.  No weapons.  A sign of trust you might say?

aOPS_Tiernan says:
::Nods, then tries to contact Starfleet.::

CNS_T`Lin says:
CO:  I get no bad vibes from him, Captain.  ::Whispers.::

CEO_Pandora says:
::Gets out of the TL and walks to the mess hall doors, trying to think of something that would take care of his appetite.::

Host CO_Ayidee says:
::Nods.::  COM:  Devar:  Very well, shall we pull along side you for the beam over?

aOPS_Tiernan says:
::Has a bad feeling about this Gul Devar.  Makes note to have someone from her own staff keep an eye on him.::

Host Gul_Devar says:
#COM:  CO:  That would be acceptable.  Shall we say 10 Terran Minutes from now?  Excellent.  Devar Out.

Host SM-Trish says:
ACTION:  Communications are abruptly cut with the Cherokee.

CNS_T`Lin says:
CO:  Captain, he's coming unarmed, so I think we can trust him.

Host CO_Ayidee says:
CNS:  Perhaps, we'll find out soon enough.  We don't have much choice, though, except to prompt a war.

CEO_Pandora says:
::Enters the mess hall and walks over to the replicator.::  Replicator:  I'll have a, um, two ham and cheese sandwiches, a large bowl of cornflakes with milk and sugar, and a jug of orange juices, and a glass to go with that.

Host XO_Worthington says:
CO:  I have finished my tactical strategy for the C2.  All weapon systems are standing by, Sir.

Host CO_Ayidee says:
XO:  You'll have the Bridge during the meeting.  But before, we need to figure out 2 things; where the jamming is coming from and whether dropping shields for beam over will open us to a threat.

CNS_T`Lin says:
CO:  I think you are doing the right thing, Captain.  Diplomacy first.

CEO_Pandora says:
::Takes the tray to a table and starts on his cornflakes before the milk gets too warm.::

EO_Ilianor says:
CNS/CO:  Unfortunately, we just end up losing more and more time, while I'm willing to bet that someone's out there watching us very closely, and we can't even see them.

Host XO_Worthington says:
CO:  With all due respect, Sir, I believe that I should be at your side during the meeting.  I also think the Counselor could lend valuable insight to our Cardassian friends.

CNS_T`Lin says:
EO:  But right now, we do not have much of a choice, do we?

Host CO_Ayidee says:
XO:  OK, I was hoping to have you on the Bridge, but we can't move until we are done here anyhow.  Any ideas to minimize the risk during the beam over?

EO_Ilianor says:
aOPS:  The jamming is so prolific.  There's no way to see where it's coming from, but who on the ship would do this?  After all, we do have a stolen warbird on the loose.

EO_Ilianor says:
CNS:  I'd say we have a choice, but it would be the one you're proposing.  ::Shrugs.::

Host XO_Worthington says:
CO:  I have already assigned Security teams to all of the sensitive areas. There should be a small gap in the shields for a millisecond.  Hopefully they won't be quick enough.

CNS_T`Lin says:
::Walks over to the EO and pats him on the back.::  EO:  For now, this is all we can do.  We have to trust him.

aOPS_Tiernan says:
EO:  I'm having difficulty pinpointing the source of the jamming.  I'm welcome to suggestions.

Host SM-Trish says:
ACTION:  The 4 ships escorting Gul Devar leave the border.

Host CO_Ayidee says:
All:  No, we don't have a choice, not if we don't let them change who we are.  aOPS:  When we are in place, notify Devar's ship we're ready for beam over.

Host CO_Ayidee says:
XO/CNS:  Shall we go to meet our guest?

CNS_T`Lin says:
CO:  Ready when you are.

Host XO_Worthington says:
CO:  I am right behind you, Sir.

aOPS_Tiernan says:
CO:  Yes, Sir.

EO_Ilianor says:
aOPS:  As I said, it's so prolific, it's simply blanket jamming.  The interference is bouncing off everything else.  ::Smiles, as the CNS reassures him.::

CNS_T`Lin says:
::Sends a smile back to the EO.::

Host CO_Ayidee says:
aOPS:  You have the bridge until we return.  Have Devar beam to Transporter Room 1, we'll meet him there.

EO_Ilianor says:
CNS:  Be careful, T'Lin. You never know, when it comes to Cardassians.

CNS_T`Lin says:
EO:  I will be careful.  Thank you Adahn.

Host CO_Ayidee says:
::Turns and heads for TR1.::

CNS_T`Lin says:
::Follows the Captain to TR1.::

aOPS_Tiernan says:
CO:  Aye.  ::Sends the coordinates to Transporter Room 1 to Gul Devar's ship.::

Host SM-Trish says:
ACTION:  Gul Devar transports to the Cherokee.

Host SM-Trish  (Transporter.wav)

Host XO_Worthington says:
::Follows behind, forming the welcoming party.::

Host CO_Ayidee says:
Gul:  Gul Devar, welcome to the Cherokee, I'm Captain Ayidee, this is my Exec Commander Worthington, and Counselor T'Lin.

Host Gul_Devar says:
::Looks about the room and steps off the transporter pad.  His hand reaches out to shake the CO's.::  CO:  Captain Ayidee, I presume?  Gul Narel Devar.  I was hoping we could meet under better circumstances.

CNS_T`Lin says:
::Holds out her hand to Gul Devar.::  Gul Devar:  I am Counselor T'Lin.

EO_Ilianor says:
Self:  If it's not Romulans, it's Cardassians.  They are defiling the very air we are breathing.

Host XO_Worthington says:
::Looks at the Cardie and just nods.::

Host CO_Ayidee says:
::Takes the hand.::  Gul:  Agreed, but at times we master our fate, and at other times fate masters us.  Let's hope this is more towards the former.

Host Gul_Devar says:
::Turns his gaze to the CNS and offers her a charming smile.::  CNS:  I see Starfleet has continued their tradition of making sure the Captain is surrounded by beautiful women.  Charmed to make your acquaintance, Counselor.  ::He bends down to kiss her hand.::

CNS_T`Lin says:
::Gets a little uneasy, but brushes it off.::  Gul Devar:  Nice to meet you.

EO_Ilianor says:
::Starts mumbling as he tries every variation he can think of to scan the immediate vicinity of the Cherokee for any signs of a well-cloaked war bird, any mistake they made, any stray, misplaced photons.::  Self: The galaxy should be purged of a Cardassian for every Federation life taken.

Host XO_Worthington says:
::Waits for the CO to make his move.::

Host Gul_Devar says:
::Kisses her hand and looks back to the CO.::  CO:  Captain, perhaps you could show us to a room where we could discuss the situation in leisure.  It’s been a rather hectic week for me, and I don't wish to speak of it in the open so to speak.

CNS_T`Lin says:
::Gets a little sick to her stomach, and her hand starts to tingle where Gul Devar kissed her.::

Host CO_Ayidee says:
Gul:  Agreed, let's head to the Observation lounge.  ::Turns and heads towards the OL.::

Host Gul_Devar says:
::Puts both of his hands behind his back and follows the Captain.::

CNS_T`Lin says:
::Follows behind Gul Devar.::

Host XO_Worthington says:
::Brings up the rear with his hand in his jacket.::

CEO_Pandora says:
::Finishes his cornflakes and starts on his sandwiches.::

Host CO_Ayidee says:
::Enters OL and takes a seat.::  Gul: Take a seat, can I get you anything?  Juice, tea, fish juice?

Host Gul_Devar says:
CO:  So tell me, Captain.  Will your Intelligence Officer and Tactical Officer be joining us, or is this all you feel comfortable with?  No on all.  I will accept coffee.  I find it most relaxing.

Host XO_Worthington says:
::Sits next to the Captain as he requested.::

Host Gul_Devar says:
::Takes a seat next to the Counselor and smiles at her.::

CNS_T`Lin says:
::Orders a glass of water and sits down next to Gul Devar, still feeling a bit nauseous and her head starting to pound.::

EO_Ilianor says:
::Mutters a bit louder.::  Self:  Make them pay for every death, all their subjugations.

Host CO_Ayidee says:
Gul:  Our ship's don't carry Intelligence officers, and our Chief Tactical Officer is currently recovering from an attempted murder by someone we believe connected to this mess.  Replicator:  Coffee and milk.

Host CO_Ayidee says:
::Hands him his coffee.::  Gul:  So this will be sufficient.

EO_Ilianor says:
::Mutters a bit louder.::  Self:  Make them pay for every death, all their subjugations, their exterminations, and the same goes for the Romulans.  The Galaxy would not be worse off if those vermin are killed off!

Host Gul_Devar says:
CO:  How unfortunate.  I offer my sympathies.  This really couldn't come at a worse time.  ::Accepts the coffee with one hand.::  The Cardassian Union has more than her fair share of problems right now.

CNS_T`Lin says:
::Drinks a sip of water hoping the water will make her stomach feel better.  The room starts spinning, but she tries to shake it off, her hand still tingling and wonders what is happening.::

aOPS_Tiernan says:
::Hears the EO mumble to himself.::   EO:  Are you okay, Ensign?

Host CO_Ayidee says:
Gul:  Agreed, which is why I had hoped to catch this fleet before it crossed the border.  I can think of a dozen reasons for building a fleet in Cardassian space, and none of them look promising for Galactic relations.

EO_Ilianor says:
::He covers his face with his hands, before dropping them again and paying closer attention to his console.  What have we here?::  aOPS:  Yes, ma'am.  I will be alright, thank you.  Ma'am, I think I'm getting something.  I'm seeing strange indications on my sensors.  Misplaced photons, stray gravitons.  I think we can suspect that there is a high-powered cloak operating, range unknown, class unknown.

Host Gul_Devar says:
CO/XO:  I assume you are already familiar with the state of affairs recently in the Union?

Host XO_Worthington says:
Gul:  Somewhat, we don't get the Cardassian newspapers around here.

Host CO_Ayidee says:
Gul:  I know things are unstable, and the rebuilding and democratization is meeting with certain struggles slowly and steadily, but progress is shaky.

aOPS_Tiernan says:
EO:  Understood, keep up the good work.  ::Pauses.::  EO:  And Ensign, just be sure, and don't carrying on the other part of that conversation.  ::Cracks a smirk.::

CNS_T`Lin says:
::Sits quietly listening to the conversation, observing the actions of Gul Devar.::

Host Gul_Devar says:
::Chuckles and looks at the XO.::  XO:  You must definitely look into a new delivery service.  CO:  Actually, we are on the verge of what could be a civil war.  The occupation of Federation and Romulan forces have caused many former soldiers and officers to wish things back to where they were.  There is even talk of a rebel fleet being formed.

EO_Ilianor says:
::Stiffens.::  aOPS:  Thank you, ma'am.  I will... keep my thoughts to myself.  ::He closes his eyes suddenly, as he feels a slight sense of... confusion in the back of his mind, which disappears as soon as it became apparent.::  aOPS:  It's just, I am feeling very, uneasy about the Cardassians here.  They are not known for their cooperation.

Host CO_Ayidee says:
All:  And another piece comes into view.  I guess we know where the fleet we pursue is headed.  We should get back in chase quickly, as soon as you are ready.

aOPS_Tiernan says:
EO:  You are not alone in that assessment.  Trust me.  I am just as uneasy.  ::She starts thinking of her past encounters with them when she was younger, she shudders to think about it.::

CNS_T`Lin says:
::Gets really sick to her stomach and the room starts to spin.  Her arm goes numb.::  CO: Captain, I do not feel well.  I .. think .. I .. need to go to ... ::Vomits all over Gul Devar.::

CNS_T`Lin says:
Gul Devar:  Sorry - bad fish.

Host Gul_Devar says:
::Shakes his head and smiles.::  CO:  You will forgive me if I do not seem ready to jump into action, but there is talk that the Federation and Romulans are "supplying" the rebel faction.  Perhaps you might be able to provide me with some proof of what you claim?  ::Turns to the CNS just as she vomits, wiping off chucks from his armor.::

Host Gul_Devar says:
CNS:  How..  charming.

Host SM-Trish says:
ACTION:  The CNS vomits all over the Gul.

Host CO_Ayidee says:
CNS:  Counselor. are you all right?   *Sickbay*:  Medical emergency in the Observation lounge.

CNS_T`Lin says:
CO:  Captain, I think I need to go to sickbay.  ::Gets up out of her chair and stumbles almost falling to the floor, holding her arm, unable to speak.  ~~~EO: Adahn, help me.~~~

Host Gul_Devar says:
::Stands up and looks for something to wipe off the vomit from his armor.::

CNS_T`Lin says:
::Falls to the floor, collapsing and unconscious.::

Host CO_Ayidee says:
Gul:  What kind of proof?  Sensor logs of their ship?  Logs of the ...  CNS:  Counselor!  ::Moves forward to try and catch her.::

Host Gul_Devar says:
::Steps away from the falling CNS and the CO.::

EO_Ilianor says:
::He winces quietly, as he feels something much stronger this time, something wrong with T'Lin.::  ~~~CNS:  T'Lin?  T'Lin, what is it?~~~  Computer:  What is the location of Counselor T'Lin?

Host XO_Worthington says:
::Tries to catch T'Lin, then moves to her.::  T'Lin:  Are you there? Can you hear me?

CNS_T`Lin says:
::Is unable to respond.::

Host CO_Ayidee says:
<Sickbay> *CO*:  Medic on the way, Captain.  What's happened?

Host Gul_Devar says:
::Sighs as he watches the CO and the XO tend to the CNS.::

Host SM-Trish says:
<COMPUTER> EO:  The counselor is in the OL.

EO_Ilianor says:
<MO_Whatzig> ::Looks to the doctor, nods, and hurries out of the sickbay with another medic.::

EO_Ilianor says:
::He closes his eyes again, as if in pain.  Then suddenly there's nothing.::  aOPS:  Ma'am! There is something wrong with Counselor T'Lin!  Permission to leave the bridge?

Host XO_Worthington says:
::Holds T'Lin's hand as they wait for the medics.::

Host Gul_Devar says:
CO/XO:  I trust she will be all right, though if this is your idea of proof, I am somewhat unimpressed.

aOPS_Tiernan says:
EO:  Granted.

EO_Ilianor says:
<MO_Whatzig> Self:  What a life I lead.  Someone probably just scraped her knee.  ::Steps into the turbo lift.::  Turbolift:  Observation Lounge, medical emergency!  ::Waits as the turbolift speeds up incredibly towards Deck 1.::

EO_Ilianor says:
aOPS:  Thanks so much, ma'am, you're a dear.  ::Runs off, away from his console and into the observation lounge.::  ~~~CNS:  T'Lin?~~~  CNS:  T'Lin, what's wrong?  ~~~CNS:  T'Lin, answer me.~~~

Host CO_Ayidee says:
::Turns slowly.::  Gul:  No, this isn't the proof, Gul Devar.  This is an unplanned event.  Will sensor logs of the battles with the imitator ship be sufficient?  The downloads from the supply depot?  The reports of raids in the area, some of which apparently by Federation ships?

EO_Ilianor says:
<MO_Whatzig>::Exits the turbolift, and steps into the observation lounge; he pulls out his tricorder.::  All:  What seems to be the trouble?

CNS_T`Lin says:
::Can hear the EO trying to speak to her telepathically, but is unable to respond to him.::

EO_Ilianor says:
::He looks up, to the CO and the XO.::  CO/XO:  My apologies for my intrusion, Captain, Commander, but I received a telepathic call from T'Lin, and I simply had to come see what was happening.

Host Gul_Devar says:
CO:  Yes, that would be most acceptable.  I also have to warn you.  The Cardassian Government has proof of Romulan involvement.  A shipment of Shield Generators was hijacked on 10408.01 by what was identified as a Romulan Warbird.

Host CO_Ayidee says:
MO:  The Counselor grew ill and collapsed.  Get her help, and ensure that whatever caused it isn't contagious or a threat to us or our guest.

Host XO_Worthington says:
::Whispers to the CO.::  CO:  Probably LoDuca.

CNS_T`Lin says:
~~~EO: Adahn - my hand, I think he ...~~~  ::Conversation ends there.::

Host Gul_Devar says:
::Notices the XO whispering to the CO and smirks.::  CO:  And here I thought you said you didn't have an intelligence officer.

CEO_Pandora says:
::Finishes his sandwiches and only then remembers he had a whole jug of orange juice replicated.  He gets up, taking the tray, including the full jug, with him to the replicator.  He puts the tray in the deposit and takes off the jug.::  Replicator:  Computer, replicate me.... Ten glasses, please.

Host CO_Ayidee says:
Gul:  Understood, and not surprising.  We've had reports, and experience with, a stolen Romulan Warbird.

EO_Ilianor says:
<MO_Whatzig> ::Quickly scans his patient, as he checks his tricorder.::  Self:  Ah, aha.  Medic: All right, let's transport her to the sickbay to take a closer look.  *Sickbay*:  Lock onto Counselor T'Lin, myself, and the medic, beam to sickbay, please.

Host XO_Worthington says:
Gul:  Yes, our crew knows the importance of intelligence, unlike others.

EO_Ilianor says:
MO:  Wait, take me as well!  ~~~T'Lin: T'Lin, I hear you, what is it about your hand.  T'Lin!~~~

Host SM-Trish ACTION:  The people are beamed to sickbay. (Transporter.wav)

Host Gul_Devar says:
CO:  May I see these records you speak of.  If I am going to convince that brigand Baret to let you in, I am going to have to have something to give to him, though I wouldn't be surprised if he had a hand in this.

CEO_Pandora says:
::Grabs the tray of glasses from the replicator and places the jug of orange juice on it.  He walks out of the mess hall and makes his way to engineering.::

CNS_T`Lin says:
::Can feel people working on her, but is unable to respond verbally to them.  Her head is pounding furiously.::

Host CO_Ayidee says:
Computer:  Download sensor logs from contact with alternate Cherokee, full access. Authorization Ayidee 1313.

EO_Ilianor says:
<MO_Whatzig> ::Rematerializes in the sickbay, and then gestures to some of the medics to help him hoist her onto the biobed.::  Medic:  Let's get her up here.  It seems like a textbook case, but I want to be sure.

Host XO_Worthington says:
::Gets up and stands next to the CO.::

Host SM-Trish says:
<Computer> CO:  Authorization verified, downloading now.

Host CO_Ayidee says:
XO:  Get in touch with Sickbay, make sure that T'Lin is all right, and that whatever it is affecting her isn't contagious.  Don't want to spread this to the Cardassian fleet if we can avoid it.

EO_Ilianor says:
::Rematerializes, and quickly jumps closer to help the medics.::  ~~~T'Lin:  I know you can hear me.  T'Lin, please, I do not understand.  T'Lin, What's...~~~  MO:  What's wrong with her, doctor?

Host Gul_Devar says:
::Nods in thanks as he looks over the data provided, stroking his chin with his fingers as he reads.::  CO:  Captain, I see you have a detailed scan of the vessel in question.  I think I might have an idea of where we may find it.

Host XO_Worthington says:
*MO*:  Keep me advised about Counselor T'Lin's condition.  Let me know if she is contagious.

Host CO_Ayidee says:
Gul:  And where would that be?

CEO_Pandora says:
::Enters main engineering and heads for the pool table, where he puts the tray down.::  All: Guys!  Listen up!  You've all done a terrific job the past few days, really outstanding.  Now, if you have a minute between your work, come and grab a glass of orange juice here.  Replicated it myself.  ::Grins.::

EO_Ilianor says:
<MO_Whatzig> EO:  Ensign, you must let us work, and I am afraid I am not at liberty to say .. doctor-patient confidentiality.  Rest assured that if you need to know, you will be informed of any risks to your health from your captain, or whatever the case may be - or you may be told nothing at all.  Please - just stand back!

CNS_T`Lin says:
::Is drifting in and out of unconsciousness.::  ~~~EO: My head hurts, I am not sure, but I think Gul Devar ...~~~

CEO_Pandora says:
::Picks up the jug and starts filling glasses of orange juice, placing them back on the tray once filled.::

Host XO_Worthington says:
*CEO*:  Mr. Pandora, I want you to increase your warp core security.  Understood?

EO_Ilianor says:
<MO_Whatzig> *XO*:  Aye, commander, I will you apprised of any details.  I do not believe she, ah, is contagious at the moment.  But I am investigating.

EO_Ilianor says:
~~~CNS:  Gul Devar?  What about him?~~~  *XO*:  Captain, do not permit the Cardassians to leave!

Host Gul_Devar says:
::Taps a control on the screen and shows the Warp Engine Frequency diagram, then shows separate scans of the emissions.::  CO:  There have been rumors of a rouge shipyard deep in Cardassian Space.  By these scans, it looks like someone took two separate warp engines and put them on one hull, the resulting interference from the Warp fields.  Hmm.

Host XO_Worthington says:
*EO*:  What is it Ensign?

Host CO_Ayidee says:
Gul:  So it's likely the warp field is a well planned fake.  Clever.  The fleet is only moving at Warp 7.4.  If we go now, we could catch them.

Host Gul_Devar says:
CO:  I think you and I can do each other a favor.  I will contact Baret and tell him that I shall escort you into our space, and we will hunt down this rouge starship of yours.  A perfect opportunity to show that the Federation is willing to help the Cardassian Union, perhaps even forestall the civil war.

EO_Ilianor says:
*XO*:  It's Counselor T'Lin, Sir.  She spoke to me telepathically.  She thinks Gul Devar may have done something to her.  Commander, you must not allow them to leave, not until we get to the bottom of this!

aOPS_Tiernan says:
::Starts pacing in front of the command chairs while trying to figure out why the comm's are being jammed and why they can't call for help from Starfleet.::

Host CO_Ayidee says:
Gul:  We shall do our best.

Host Gul_Devar says:
::Smiles warmly.::  CO:  Why Captain, I believe this is the start of what can be a beautiful friendship.

Host XO_Worthington says:
Gul:  However we must ask you to delay your return just a bit.

Host SM-Trish says:
