Host SM-Trish says:
USS Cherokee 10410.17 Getting to Know You Part 4

Host SM-Trish says:
Starbase 33 is on a lockdown.  The hunt is on for the Nash twins, if they are still on the station. 

Host Diggs says:
<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<Begin Mission>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>

Host CO_Ayidee says:
::In Starbase Security Office, looking over sensor scans to see who took the children.::

Host Diggs says:
::Never will he do a favor again.  This is getting too scary.  Too many security, too many patrols peeking out from a room.::

OPS_Nash says:
::Sitting on the bed, sinking deeper in the void that was her heart, and anger is slowly filling that void.::

CEO_Ilianor says:
::Lying on his biobed, his head resting on his arms which are crossed under his neck; he looks up, wondering where that doctor is who can clear him for duty so he can be useful.::

CMO_Ferdinant says:
::Takes a last deep breath before opening his eyes again.::  CNS:  All right.  Ready Lieutenant?  ::Picks up a small clamp.::

Host Diggs says:
ACTION:  The babies begin to stir.  The sedative was very mild.  The kidnapper begins to fear they will cry.

CSO_Nash says:
::Begins pacing while the forensics team is doing their job.::  XO:  Permission to go somewhere where I can feel more useful, Commander?  ::Paces becoming more angry by the second.::

Host XO_Worthington says:
*CO*:  Captain, I have just come from the crime scene.  Commander Nash and Starbase security are combing through the crime scene.

CNS_T`Lin says:
CMO:  I think so.  ::Takes a deep breath, knowing this is going to be the toughest part of surgery.::

CTO_Hazzard says:
::Continues to make his way to the closest location of transport activity as he talks over his combadge.::  *Lt. Miller*:  I want every available officer and enlisted man guarding the airlocks and turbolifts leading out of this Starbase.  Coordinate your efforts with SB33 Security.

CEO_Ilianor says:
::Screams.::  Medics:  How long does it take to process a simple form?  ::When he sees that no answer is forthcoming, he grumbles, and pushes himself off the biobed, walking out the door and heading for the security office.::

Host CO_Ayidee says:
*XO*:  Very good.  Is there a team on the cribs yet?

CMO_Ferdinant says:
::Smiles.::  CNS:  All right, vascular extraction clamp please.  ::Takes a close look at the various small veins, trying to select one to be placed on the heart.::

Host Diggs says:
::Begins to swing the box, hoping to lull the babies back to sleep.::

Host CO_Ayidee says:
Montegue:  Commander, I'm recalling my crew from leave, we should have an additional 200 or so officers and crew at your disposal within minutes.

Host XO_Worthington says:
*CO*:  Yes, Sir.  I will join you shortly.  CSO:  Yes, Commander, why don't you join me in security control while we oversee the search?

CNS_T`Lin says:
::Looks around on the surgical table for the correct clamp.::  Self:  Ah, yes.  Here it is.  ::Passes the clamp to the doctor.::

CTO_Hazzard says:
::Slowly starts to do a room-by-room search of the deck he is on, checking rooms closest to the transport site keeping his phaser ready in case his search shows results.::  *XO*:  Commander, currently at the sight of first transport site.  Conducting room-by-room search.  Will inform you if I find anything.  Let the Nash's know I'm on the case.

Host Diggs says:
<Montegue> CO:  Every man will be needed, Captain.  This is a big base.  ::Does not show how badly she wants to get in the chase.::

CSO_Nash says:
*XO*:  On my way, Commander, and thank you, Sir.  ::Heads off for Security.::

CEO_Ilianor says:
::Steps into the turbolift.::  Turbolift:  Security office.  ::Sighs as the turbolift starts moving, finding himself subconsciously staring at his wrists, but then consciously diverting his stare.::

Host CO_Ayidee says:
Montegue:  For now I'm going to have them placed at exit points.  Let me know if you need them elsewhere.

Host XO_Worthington says:
*CTO*:  I will pass along the message.  If the perpetrator is still on this station I want him captured.

Host Diggs says:
<Montegue> CO:  Will do, Captain.

CMO_Ferdinant says:
::Takes the clamp and puts it down next to him, quickly heading back to the chest to see how long a vein he will need.::

OPS_Nash says:
::As anger starts to consume her, she goes into military stealth mode.  She slowly gets up, locates some black clothes, and gets dressed.  Then she sneaks out of the Infirmary and blends in with the crowd.::

CTO_Hazzard says:
*Monteque*:  Commander, this is Lieutenant Hazzard.  I've informed my lead officer to coordinate with you in locking down the Starbase.  Lt Miller should be in touch with you shortly.

CSO_Nash says:
::Enters the Security Office.::

CMO_Ferdinant says:
::Sees it's about the same length as the other one.  He selects a seemingly strong vein, puts the clamp on it at the right distance.::

CEO_Ilianor says:
::The doors slide open and he steps out, heading back towards the all-too-familiar security office.::  CO:  Captain.

Host Diggs says:
<Montegue> CTO:  Affirmative.

CSO_Nash says:
XO:  Any new leads yet, Commander?

CNS_T`Lin says:
::Keeps an eye on the vitals.::

Host CO_Ayidee says:
CEO:  Lieutenant, I need someone to start checking over the ships which were scheduled to depart between one hour ago and two hours from now.  Before long we should have a suspect view to cross check for.

Host Diggs says:
ACTION:  One baby begins to whimper, not loud enough to be heard other than by Diggs.

CMO_Ferdinant says:
::Places two small clamps on either side of the extraction clamp.::  CNS:  All right.  Hold the extractor for me.  ::Severs the vein between the extractor and the small vascular clamps.::

OPS_Nash says:
::She notices that the person in front of her is wearing a phaser.  She takes the phaser, quickly and carefully, then makes her way down an empty corridor.::

CTO_Hazzard says:
::Continues to search through the various rooms, slowly locking each door as he proceeds down the hall, eliminating one hiding spot after another as he continues to search, his anger a cold and deadly thing as it grows by the second.::

Host Diggs says:
*Stranger*:  This is Diggs, it is getting hot around here.   I need a distraction to get out of here.

Host CO_Ayidee says:
CSO:  So far no solid leads, but we're eliminating the hiding spots they can use quickly.

CEO_Ilianor says:
CO:  Aye, Sir.  ::Moves to a free console.::  I assume most if not all of those ships are currently under lockdown?  ::Begins to compile a passenger database.::

CNS_T`Lin says:
::Holds the extractor as the doctor severs the vein.  Is happy she has not eaten in a while.::

Host CO_Ayidee says:
CEO:  That is correct.  The base is locked down until we find the kidnapper.

CSO_Nash says:
CO:  Understood, Sir.  Permission to join in on the search?

CMO_Ferdinant says:
::Nods.::  CNS:  Very good.  Just put it down right there.  ::Points at a small table.::  But don't do anything with it until I'm with you.  ::Hasn't forgotten how there wasn't much more to do for him with the last vein.::

OPS_Nash says:
::She accesses an isolated console and somehow accesses all known transporter beams and transports that occurred in the past hour, then she notices that the Starbase is on lockdown.  She thinks "Good."::

CTO_Hazzard says:
*Monteque*:  Commander, if this guy is using transporters, he might also be in communication with the actual transporter responsible.  Might be a good idea to monitor communication traffic in and out of the station.

Host CO_Ayidee says:
CSO:  Granted.  Start a room-by-room scan.  Isolate any bio signs of low mass.  Should give us a lower number of spots to check if successful.

CNS_T`Lin says:
::Acknowledges the doctor, and wonders why the doctor is being so testy.::

CSO_Nash says:
CO:  Aye, Sir.  Where should I start the search?

CEO_Ilianor says:
::Flips over to the individual data files on the various ships as he waits for the compiled passenger manifests.::  CO:  Then it should be no trouble.  Is there anything in particular you would like me to look for?  ::Stares at the data, as he separates Starfleet vessels from cargo vessels, personal shuttles from the more suspect.::

Host Diggs says:
<Montegue> CTO:  Thank you for telling me my job Hazzard.  How did I ever manage without you.  ::Begins to fume, thinking she owes him a little lesson in tact.::

OPS_Nash says:
Self:  Don't worry, Little Ones.  Momma is coming for you.  And may God have mercy on those who took you from me.

Host Diggs says:
<Stranger> *Diggs*:  I will see what I can arrange.

Host CO_Ayidee says:
CSO:  Start at the point of the last known Transport, work out from there.  CEO:  I wish I knew, but once we have the ship's isolated we can look for their crews.

CTO_Hazzard says:
::Growls at the tone of the commander's voice.  Thinking that if HER security were up to snuff, this situation would not have HAPPENED.  Finishing the search of yet another room and locking the room off as he moves to the next one.::

CSO_Nash says:
CO:  Aye, Sir.  ::Looks at the last transport records and heads out for a deck in the midrange between deck 67 and 93.::

Host Diggs says:
ACTION:  OPS picks up the mental signature of her twins.

OPS_Nash says:
::She is merely going on instinct and senses the location of Liam and Kiandra, so she moves in that direction.::

CSO_Nash says:
::Arrives at the TL.::  TL:  Deck 71.  ::Gets on and the TL begins to move.::

Host CO_Ayidee says:
All:  Okay, have a visual.  Likely a disguise, but we're looking for a female suspect, trying to isolate more exact sensor details from the overall scans now.

CMO_Ferdinant says:
::Walks around the operating table to the small table with the heart on it.::  CNS:  All right.  Get me some saline to clear this out.  Seems to be a little bit cluttered in there.   But it's the strongest in the pack.  ::Picks up a small rod and carefully inserts it in the vein.::

Host CO_Ayidee says:
::Begins trying to match sensor scans with the suspect.::

CTO_Hazzard says:
*CO*:  Sir, we might want to operate under the assumption that the kidnapper knew she would be monitored.  We should be looking for ANYONE acting suspiciously.

CNS_T`Lin says:
::Walks to a nearby table, grabbing a saline bottle to clean out the vein.::  CMO: Here you go, Doctor.

Host CO_Ayidee says:
*CTO*:  Of course, we also don't know if the suspect was working alone, but we have to stay focused and chase down the leads as we find them.

CMO_Ferdinant says:
::Takes the bottle, gently pulls out the rod and inserts a needle instead.  When inserted, he connects the saline bottle to the needle and pushes softly, the liquid flowing out at the other end of the vein.::

CTO_Hazzard says:
::Grips his phaser tighter as he resumes his search.  Hallway:  Come out, come out wherever you are you sunova.

CEO_Ilianor says:
::Sorts through the data, quickly organizing the ships by suspecting order.::  Self:  34 ships, most minor vessels docked; of those, 19 due to depart within the last two hours.  ::Blinks and clears his throat, as he finds himself lost in thought for a second.::   ... Of those 19, four are Starfleet vessels, three of which carry no passengers.

Host Diggs says:
ACTION:  The stranger leaves firecrackers in a trash barrel and walks off.  Four minutes later they begin to explode!

CSO_Nash says:
::Exits the TL on Deck 71 and begins a room-by-room search.::

CMO_Ferdinant says:
::Slowly pulls out the needle, still squeezing the saline bottle::  CNS:  Almost there.  ::Takes the needle out and takes the small rod again.  It now goes much smoother through the vein.::  All right.  We're go.  ::Smiles.::

Host Diggs says:
<Stranger> *Diggs*:  You should be able to leave in about 4 minutes.  Good luck, pal!

Host Diggs says:
*Stranger*:  Roger that.  I am ready.

CNS_T`Lin says:
::Takes the bottle of saline from the doctor and puts it down.  Then follows the doctor back to the surgical table.::

CEO_Ilianor says:
::Sighs.::  Self:  In total, 218 unique passengers, 50 children; 168 likely suspects.  ::Sighs.::  Computer:  Computer, check internal sensors.  See if any of these recorded passengers on this manifest approached the Starbase Infirmary at any time within the last two hours.

CSO_Nash says:
::Sees a small explosion on his tricorder and beats haste to its location.::  TL:  Promenade.

CTO_Hazzard says:
::His ears pick up the loud report of the firecrackers, the sound strangely familiar as he dashes to the source of the sound, stopping halfway.::  Computer:  Computer, what was the cause of that explosion?

CMO_Ferdinant says:
::Takes the clamp to the operating table and puts it down on Mrs. Hazzard's chest.::  CNS:  And now the matching game begins again.  ::Takes a deep breath.::  You hold the vein to the heart, right?  ::Points with two hands, marking beginning and ending.::  Here.  I'll trim it to the correct configuration.

Host Diggs says:
::Hears the noise and slips out of his corner.::

OPS_Nash says:
::Feels her twins mental signature and realizes that they are still on the Starbase.  She quickens her pace to a TL and enters and tells it to take her to an isolated section of the Promenade level.::

CSO_Nash says:
*CTO/CO*:  I just registered a small explosion on the Merchant Center.  I'm heading there now.

CTO_Hazzard says:
*CSO*:  Sc--, Commander Nash, wait a sec..

Host Diggs says:
::Begins to melt into the crowd that is moving away from the noise.::

CSO_Nash says:
::As the TL stops, he runs to the area of the explosion with phaser drawn.::

CNS_T`Lin says:
::Holds the vein as asked.::

Host CO_Ayidee says:
*CSO*:  Understood.  Montegue:  They're trying to draw us off.  Why else would they cause an explosion?  Lock that section of Starbase down tight.

CTO_Hazzard says:
::His eyes start to look through his surroundings, trying to pick out anything out of the ordinary.::

Host CO_Ayidee says:
::Focuses sensors on area around the reported explosion, scanning for low mass life form readings.::

CMO_Ferdinant says:
::Takes a laser scalpel and goes through the testing ritual again.  Satisfied, he goes to work, pointing it at the top part of the heart.::  CNS:  A bit more up, like here.  ::Holds the laser scalpel right over the spot he wants the vein to start.::

CEO_Ilianor says:
::Watches as a list of about 15 names appear on the screen, those who have been near the Sickbay in the past two hours.::  CO:  Captain, I've narrowed down the list of suspects to 15.  I suggest we seek them out and detain them all immediately.

Host Diggs says:
ACTION:  Sensors pick up two small life forms moving out of the area of the promenade.

CSO_Nash says:
::Slows his approach and begins looking through the corridor for anyone carrying an unusually large container.  Keeps his phaser at the ready but out of sight.::

CNS_T`Lin says:
::Raises the vein.::

Host CO_Ayidee says:
*CSO*:  Ignore the explosion.  We have a possible scanner match near you.  Forwarding sensor data to your Tricorder.

CSO_Nash says:
::Checks his tricorder and sees his children's signs moving away from the Promenade and he begins pursuit.::

CMO_Ferdinant says:
CNS:  All right.  ::Looks around to see where the suture kit went.::  Nurse:  Get me a new manual suture kit, please?

CTO_Hazzard says:
::Notices the crowd leaving the area and rushes over, yelling at the top of his lungs at the crowd.::  ALL:  EVERYONE, ON THE GROUND, NOW.  STARFLEET SECURITY!

Host CO_Ayidee says:
*CTO*:  We may have them.  Two small life forms exiting near the likely diversion.  Forwarding data now.

Host Diggs says:
::The hairs on the back of Diggs neck begin to prickle.::

OPS_Nash says:
::She hears an explosion as she gets off the TL, and makes her way toward that sound.::

CEO_Ilianor says:
::Turns to the CO.::  CO:  If you would, transfer that data to my console, Sir.  I can attempt to match them to my list of names.

CSO_Nash says:
*CO*:  Aye, Captain.  I got it now.  I'm moving with them.  I'm going to hang back and trail them until reinforcements arrive.

Host CO_Ayidee says:
CEO:  On its way.  ::Forwards scanner data to CEO.::

Host Diggs says:
ACTION:  People begin hitting the deck at securities order.

CMO_Ferdinant says:
<Nurse> ::Nods::  CMO: Yes, Doctor.  ::Goes to get a kit from the closet and hands it to Ferdinant.::

Host CO_Ayidee says:
::Continues scanning for other life signs matching mass parameters.::

CTO_Hazzard says:
::Keeps his phaser ready as he looks at the prone forms, seeing if any of them might be concealing the twins, boxes, containers, anything.::

CSO_Nash says:
::Sees the crowd start to hit the deck as the CTO comes into view.  He waits to see who doesn't comply.::

CEO_Ilianor says:
::Watches as the data arrives at his console.::  Computer:  Analyze these sensor readings.  Extrapolate their most likely identities based on my list of those who have been in Sickbay within the last two hours.

CTO_Hazzard says:
CSO:  Stay where you are, Commander.  Take the side closer to you.  I have this one.

CSO_Nash says:
::Also out of the third vertex of a triangle, he notices OPS dressed in black coming up.::

CSO_Nash says:
CTO:  Aye, Lieutenant.  Setting up a perimeter now.

CMO_Ferdinant says:
::Starts making a small incision in the vein so it will once again cover the little hole.  Then makes the little hole he wants to place the vein over.::  CNS:  Okay, steady.

Host XO_Worthington says:
::Enters the SB security office.::  CO:  Are there any new developments?

Host Diggs says:
::Not knowing whether to drop to the ground or run, he decides to run.::

OPS_Nash says:
::She notices that the CSO and CTO are forming a triangle, so she steps in place to form the third part.::

CTO_Hazzard says:
::Sees the sudden movement and fires a shot to the side, missing him on purpose.::  Diggs:  ON THE GROUND NOW, CREEP!  NOW!!!!

Host CO_Ayidee says:
XO:  We may have located them.  Merchant section.  You want to head down?  Commander Nash and Lieutenant Hazzard are on scene.

Host XO_Worthington says:
CO:  Can you beam me there?  ::Grabs a phaser rifle.::

Host Diggs says:
ACTION:  Diggs veers at the shot and runs into Momma Nash, knocking her to the ground in his haste to escape.

CSO_Nash says:
CTO/OPS:  That's him.  Let's get him.  Moves in and aims his phaser at the fleeing man.  Diggs:  Stop right there.

Host CO_Ayidee says:
XO:  Aye, keep everyone's head on straight.  ::Accesses Transporter control, beaming XO to Merchant's section.::

CNS_T`Lin says:
::Steadies the clamp, her hand starting to shake a little.::

CTO_Hazzard says:
::Tears off in a mad dash, pumping his legs and sprinting after Diggs as he jumps over the prone OPS not recognizing her.  *CO*:  Perp on the move.  Follow my signal.

CSO_Nash says:
::Sees OPS get knocked over.::  OPS:  Hang on to him, Kyleigh.  ::Flies through the air and hits Diggs with a perfect tackle.::

CMO_Ferdinant says:
::Takes the suture kits and starts making real tight stitches, making sure the vein won't separate or leave its place without a big force tearing it off.::

OPS_Nash says:
::She sees the person who is responsible for taking her children.  Rage takes over.  She sets her phaser on high stun and fires phasers as it passes over her and hitting where the sun don't shine.::

Host XO_Worthington says:
::Materializes behind a crowd of people on the ground.::  *CTO*:  Status report.

Host Diggs says:
ACTION:  Diggs falls to the ground, holding himself.  The box goes flying with the twins.

Host CO_Ayidee says:
Montegue:  How many units you have near them?

CEO_Ilianor says:
CO:  Captain, two names from that.  Um, a Linda Balls and a Steve Diggs?

OPS_Nash says:
::She stands up and moves the phaser to kill, and aims at him.::

Host CO_Ayidee says:
CEO:  Can you tell which is in the Merchant section?

CTO_Hazzard says:
::Looks at the OPS and shakes his head.::  OPS:  Kyleigh, I have your children.  Take them.  I have this scum.

CMO_Ferdinant says:
::Proceeds to the other part of the vein, pulling the clamp up slightly.::  CNS:  All right.  Keep it steady again.  ::Makes a small cut and spreads the vein, careful not to rip it open any further.::

OPS_Nash says:
Diggs:  Why, vermin, would you steal innocent newborns from their mothers?

CSO_Nash says:
::Steps in front of OPS.::  OPS:  No.  ::He then grabs Diggs and punches him in the face.::

CEO_Ilianor says:
CO:  There is one sensor reading that you sent me.  It is also one of the fifteen near Sickbay within the last two hours.  And, presumably, he is the one giving everyone a hard time right now.  What his connection is to Lt. Nash, I do not know.

Host Diggs says:
ACTION:  The XO grabs the box as it almost goes sliding by.

Host XO_Worthington says:
::Sees a box coming near and makes a diving catch.::

Host CO_Ayidee says:
CEO:  We can figure that out later.  There is one in the Merchant section.  Where's the other?

CTO_Hazzard says:
::Moves over to the CSO and Diggs, separating them.  ::CSO:  SCOTT.  Stand down, Sir.  I have him!

OPS_Nash says:
::Gets mad as the CSO steps in front of her.::  CSO:  NOOO!!!  I want him to answer me.

Host Diggs says:
ACTION:  The hit the CSO gives Diggs breaks his nose, blood goes spurting everywhere.

CSO_Nash says:
CTO:  Standing down, but GOD that felt good.

Host XO_Worthington says:
::Opens up the box.::  *CO*:  Captain, medical team, transport to this location.

CNS_T`Lin says:
::Holds the clamp steady.::

Host Diggs says:
ALL:  My dose is broken!  My dose!!!

CTO_Hazzard says:
::Stares at both the CSO and the OPS and takes Diggs from them, keeping him between himself and the NASH's, holding Diggs in his firm grasp.  ::CSO/OPS:  BACK AWAY, SIR, MA'AM.  Security has this.  Tend to your children.

OPS_Nash says:
Diggs:  WHY???!?!   We did nothing to you.  Neither did they.  WHY!!!  Answer me, scum.

Host Diggs says:
::Begins to back up as the woman is screaming.::

Host CO_Ayidee says:
*XO*:  Understood.  Is everyone all right?  Montegue:  We need a medic to the chase location, and it appears we still have a co-conspirator loose.

CSO_Nash says:
::Holds Diggs at arm's length and shakes him once, and then lets him fall into the CTO's hands.::  Diggs:  That's for messing with my family.

CEO_Ilianor says:
CO:  Unknown.  But I am certain this person is one Steve Diggs.  Perhaps Lt. Nash will be able to shed some light on this person.  Computer:  While Steve Diggs was by Sickbay, was he accompanied by anyone?

CMO_Ferdinant says:
::Takes the suture kit again and applies stitches to this part as well, not as tight as the other end but still tight enough so it won't just rip off with the first heartbeat.::

Host XO_Worthington says:
*CSO*:  Commander, please join me.  I have something that belongs to you.

Host Diggs says:
<Computer> CEO:  Records show no one with Steve Diggs.

Host CO_Ayidee says:
<Montegue> ::Orders medics to the Merchants section.::  CO:  Understood.  We'll find 'em.

CSO_Nash says:
*XO*:  Aye, Commander.  OPS:  Shall we?

CNS_T`Lin says:
CMO:  Looking good, Doctor.

OPS_Nash says:
CSO:  I want him to answer me.  I need to .... know.....  ::Starts crying.::

CTO_Hazzard says:
::Turns to look at Diggs and gives him the evilest smirk he can muster.  ::Diggs:  You shut up, right now.  I ought to let them have their way with you, you piece of Dren.  ::Slams him roughly to the wall and holds him there.::  *Montegue*:  Commander, I have custody of the suspect.  I need an escort to bring him to the brig for interrogation.

Host Diggs says:
Diggs:  CTO, what are you going to do with me?  ::Holding his shirt tail to his nose.::  I am bleeding to death here!

CSO_Nash says:
::Takes a hold of a reluctant OPS and moves over to the XO's location.::

Host CO_Ayidee says:
CEO:  Can the Sensors locate Miss Balls?

Host Diggs says:
CTO:  Ooof!

CMO_Ferdinant says:
::Takes his hands out of the chest area.::  CNS:  All right.  That's that.  How are her vitals holding up?  ::Looks up at the monitor himself, but wants to hear the report anyway so he'll have a second opinion.::

Host Diggs says:
ACTION:  With the slam to the bulkhead, Diggs breaks two ribs.

CTO_Hazzard says:
Diggs:  I am trying very hard not to beat you to a living pulp you piece of work.  Those are my god nephew and niece, and that means I ought to just shoot you a few more times .... and not on stun.  Who's working with you!  Talk, or I'll let their mother ask the questions.

OPS_Nash says:
CSO:  Why?  I need to know.

CEO_Ilianor says:
CO:  I'll take a look.  Computer:  Identify all probable locations of Linda Balls, based on biochemical cues and registered services.

CNS_T`Lin says:
::Reviews the vitals and everything appears to be stable.::  CMO:  Vitals are stable.  Everything looks good.

CSO_Nash says:
Diggs:  You better answer her now.

Host Diggs says:
CTO:  My back, you broke my back!  ::Begins to slide to the floor.::

Host Diggs says:
ACTION:  Diggs begins to bleed at a fast rate from his nose.

Host XO_Worthington says:
::Hands the children to the medical team and walks over to the CTO.::  CTO:  What is going on here?

CMO_Ferdinant says:
::Nods.::  CNS:  Agreed.  Let's get her heart going again.  Cardio simulator!  ::Holds his hand over Mrs. Hazzard's chest area.::

Host Diggs says:
::He stares up at the XO and can't believe his eyes, as they almost pop out of their sockets.::  XO:  You!  You are the one that got me into all this mess.  ::Looking directly at the XO.::

OPS_Nash says:
::Looks to the XO with a perplexed look.::

Host Diggs says:
CTO:  It was him!  He is the one who wanted this done.  Talk to him!  ::Pointing at Trent.::

CTO_Hazzard says:
::Holds him up and tries not to give into the urge to pistol whip him.::  XO:  Suspect was trying to leave the Starbase under the cover of the other civilians.  The OPS got a glancing shot and I ..    ::Finally has had enough of Diggs, and sets his phaser to light stun . for the man's own good .. stunning him.::

CSO_Nash says:
::Looks from Diggs to the XO and then back again.::

Host XO_Worthington says:
::Looks down at the perpetrator.::  Diggs:  Looks like you lose today, punk.

CNS_T`Lin says:
::Readies the cardiac stimulator and passes it to the doctor.::

OPS_Nash says:
XO:  Say it ain't so.

Host Diggs says:
ACTION:  Diggs slumps to the ground from the stun.

CEO_Ilianor says:
CO:  Yes, she is definitely in the area of Diggs.  I can't identify where exactly, Sir.

Host CO_Ayidee says:
CEO:  What ship did Diggs and Balls come from?

CTO_Hazzard says:
OPS:  Kyleigh, are you really going to listen to the words of the guy who tried to kidnap your children?  This guy is looking for an out.

Host XO_Worthington says:
OPS:  What are you talking about?

CSO_Nash says:
CTO:  I suggest you get him to the infirmary quickly before he bleeds to death.

OPS_Nash says:
XO:  What he said.

CTO_Hazzard says:
*Sickbay*:  I need a medical team on the promenade, Starboard side, near Veridian Travel Agency.

Host CO_Ayidee says:
*XO*:  We have a second suspect in your area; a Linda Balls.  I'm transmitting her image to all search team Tricorders and placing it on all Starbase computer monitors.  ::Forwards the picture, with "Wanted" underneath the image on the Wall monitors.::

CSO_Nash says:
XO:  Aye, Commander.  Why would he single you out, Sir?

Host Diggs <Medical> CTO:  I have your signature, we will beam you and your team to sickbay immediately.   (Transporter.wav)

Host XO_Worthington says:
OPS:  He was obviously lying to you, Kyleigh.  Your children are safe now.

CTO_Hazzard says:
*Medical*:  Just me and the suspect only.

CSO_Nash says:
::Runs a scan to verify that the children are present and then he moves to get them.::

OPS_Nash says:
XO:  I just needed to hear that from you.  You know how much those twins are wanted and loved.

Host XO_Worthington says:
CTO:  Let's move out.  We got another one to get.

CTO_Hazzard says:
XO:  Sir, I will stay with this scum wad and let you look for the second suspect.

CMO_Ferdinant says:
::Takes the stimulator and puts it directly on her heart, making a small adjustment for the lack of resistant tissue between the device and the heart.::  CNS:  All right.  Slowly reduce the heart-lung machine's functions, keeping the cardio stimulator on standby to take over when needed.

Host LindaBalls says:
::Inside a shop, wondering what is going on, seeing SF clobbering an unarmed man.::

CMO_Ferdinant says:
::De-activates the electro suppressors they placed before surgery.::  CNS:  Start now.

CSO_Nash says:
::Sees the medical people holding a case with the life signs of the children and relieves them of it.::

CTO_Hazzard says:
::Helps the medical team put Diggs on a biobed, securing him to it and looking to the XO.::   XO:  Unless you want me to come with you, Sir.

OPS_Nash says:
::Goes over to her husband.::

CEO_Ilianor says:
CO:  Checking, Sir.  ::Goes over his lists, as he quickly identifies their ship.::  CO:  It's registered officially as MD-122, with a note that it's unofficially identified as the Puma.

CNS_T`Lin says:
::Turns the knob on the heart-lung machine slowly down.  Switches the cardiac stimulator to standby, as requested.::

CEO_Ilianor says:
::Suddenly his console beeps.::  CO:  Identified her, sir.  She's browsing in a nearby store.  She's approximately 50 yards away from the location of the skirmish.

CSO_Nash says:
::Gets the case and opens it.::

Host CO_Ayidee says:
Montegue:  We need to take a search of ship MD-122, aka the "Puma".

Host XO_Worthington says:
*CO*:  Captain, please alert all security to the shops.

OPS_Nash says:
::As the case opens, she grabs hold of a baby, and it just happens to be Kiandra.::

Host LindaBalls says:
::Turns and continues her shopping, knowing it will be months before she comes back to civilization.::

CMO_Ferdinant says:
::Holds up his hand, meaning to say "I got it".  Then looks up at the monitor, not yet detecting electric pulses.::

Host CO_Ayidee says:
Montegue:  And we need an APB on Linda Balls, suspected to be in the Merchants Section.  Have her image on all internal monitors.

Host LindaBalls says:
ACTION:  The twins sense their mother and begin to coo.

CTO_Hazzard says:
*CO*:  Sir, if I was her, I would be wanting to get the heck out of dodge.  She's gonna need credits for that.  Can we secure her accounts?

CNS_T`Lin says:
::Gets a worried look on her face as the heart is not yet starting to beat on its own.::

OPS_Nash says:
Kiandra:  Sorry that you had to go though that.  You and your brother are safe now.

CSO_Nash says:
::Grabs Liam, and hugs and holds OPS and Kiandra close to him.::

Host CO_Ayidee says:
Montegue:  Scratch that.  We have a location.  ::Sends to Starbase Security.::  *CTO*:  She's on the Starbase, but she isn't getting off.

Host XO_Worthington says:
CTO:  Stay with the prisoner.  I am heading to the Security office.  *CO*:  I will be rejoining you shortly.

CTO_Hazzard says:
*Montegue*:  Acknowledged, Ma'am.  The XO and I are en route.  ::Turns to the XO and grins evilly.::  XO:  Once more into the breach, Sir?

OPS_Nash says:
::Sinks into her husband's embrace.::

CMO_Ferdinant says:
::Sees a faint electric pulse on the monitor.::  Self:  Come on.  ::Sees it grow stronger, slowly but steadily.::  All right.  Keep up.

CTO_Hazzard says:
::Nods to the XO and steps over to the prisoner, watching the CSO and OPS.::  CSO:  Commander, about down on the promenade.  Sorry I yelled, Sir.

Host LindaBalls says:
Shopkeeper:  Oh, I like this one, I am going to try it on now!  ::Walks to the changing room.::

CSO_Nash says:
Liam:  I'm glad that you and Kiandra made it through this ordeal and that they didn't use that strong of a sedative on you.  ::Kisses OPS and the children on their foreheads.::

Host CO_Ayidee says:
<Starbase Security> ::Enters the store, noticing Linda moving to the changing room.::  LindaBalls:  Freeze!  You're under arrest!

CSO_Nash says:
CTO:  Think nothing of it.  You had to stop me some how, Lieutenant.

CNS_T`Lin says:
CMO:  I think you did it, Doctor.  Looks like the heart is starting to pump on its own now.

Host LindaBalls says:
::Can not believe what she just heard, but freezes in place, turning her head slowly to see who spoke to her.::

Host XO_Worthington says:
::Makes his way down towards the shops.::  *CO*:  Sir, I am moving into location.

CTO_Hazzard says:
::Sneers as he looks over at Diggs.::  CSO:  Kinda glad you got to him first.  I might not have been so gentle.

OPS_Nash says:
CSO:  Why would want to separate a family?

CMO_Ferdinant says:
::Smiles.::  CNS:  Okay, you can take the cardio stimulator again.  But keep it nearby, in case we need it after all.  I want to monitor the vitals for a minute or two to make sure the new veins are doing their job.

CNS_T`Lin says:
CMO:  Understood.  Places the cardiac stimulator on a table next to the surgical table.

CTO_Hazzard says:
::Sighs as he realizes his mother is in surgery right now, the tension and the anger and all of the negative emotions that have been building in him coming to a head.:: Diggs:  Pray I'm not the first face you see when you wake up you piece of trash.  Pray.

CSO_Nash says:
OPS:  A very good question.  I don't know of anyone that would have motive against either you or I.  CTO:  I'm lucky you stopped me.

CNS_T`Lin says:
::Wonders what is going on outside the doors of surgery.  Hears a lot of commotion, but has no idea what has happened.::

Host XO_Worthington says:
::Enters into a shop with his phaser rifle looking for the person in the wanted picture.::

Host CO_Ayidee says:
<Security> LindaBalls:  Hold steady.  You're currently a suspect in a kidnapping case.  ::Scans suspect and forwards data to Security Office.::

CEO_Ilianor says:
::Watches the security camera.::  CO:  It would appear that security has the situation under control.

Host LindaBalls says:
CO:  Me?  ::Gasps for breath.::  I have never stolen anything in my life, much less kidnapped anyone!  ::Her face turns deathly pale.::

CTO_Hazzard says:
*CO*:  Sir, the male suspect tried to insinuate that the XO was in on this.  I think our pal, LoDoofus, is back in town.

CMO_Ferdinant says:
::Takes two steps back and leans against a little tray, which in turn is standing against the wall.  Looking up at the monitor, he sees the vitals are stabilizing.::  Computer:  Computer, change background of monitors.  Display recorded data file hazzard one alpha and match heart-rate peaks with time index.

Host XO_Worthington says:
::Sees the security.::  SEC:  Report.

Host CO_Ayidee says:
*Security*:  That's not her.  She's 2 tenths of a meter too short.

Host LindaBalls says:
::She looks from one to the other as they stare at her, making her skin crawl.::

Host CO_Ayidee says:
<Security> *CO*:  You sure, Sir?  Okay, who are we looking for then?

Host LindaBalls says:
Security:  Does that mean ..  ::Almost afraid to ask.::  . that you are letting me go?

CTO_Hazzard says:
::Starts to search Diggs for any kind of communication device.::

OPS_Nash says:
::Starting to feel tired and it shows in her face.::

Host CO_Ayidee says:
<Security> LindaBalls:  For now.  We'll be back if we have any further questions.

CTO_Hazzard says:
OPS:  Kyleigh, your kids are safe, and they will stay that way.  You have my word on that.  I'll have my men stand 24/7 on watch.

Host LindaBalls says:
Security:  No apologies, nothing?  After scaring me half to death?  I intend to talk to the Admiral about this!

Host XO_Worthington says:
SEC:  Hold on a second.  Escort her to the infirmary to make sure she is not injured.

OPS_Nash says:
CSO:  Take me to my room, and I want the kids with me in the bed.

Host CO_Ayidee says:
<Security> XO:  Injured?  How would she be injured?

Host LindaBalls says:
::Raises her eyebrows at the XO, how could she be injured?::

CSO_Nash says:
OPS:  Good idea.  You look extremely tired, and any bathings from now on I will do.  Shall we?

Host XO_Worthington says:
SEC:  Do I need to repeat myself?  She said she was scared half to death.  Now escort her to the infirmary.

OPS_Nash says:
CSO:  Yes.  ::Allows herself be escorted to her room with her children.::

Host CO_Ayidee says:
<Security> LindaBalls:  Sorry, but in a case like this, we have to move quickly.  ::Shrugs.::  XO:  Aye, Sir.  LindaBalls:  Ma'am, if you could come with us?

Host LindaBalls says:
::A small smile comes to the corners of her mouth at the humor of the XO.::  XO:  Sir, I am fine.  No need for sickbay.

CTO_Hazzard says:
::Taps his combadge.::  *Lt. Miller*:  Miller, I want two guards outside the Nash's state room at all times.  Nobody gets in and/or out unless they clear it with Commander Nash, myself , the Captain or the XO, understood?  Hazzard out.

CSO_Nash says:
CTO:  The security measures are greatly appreciated.

Host LindaBalls says:
ACTION:  Diggs begins to come to consciousness.

Host XO_Worthington says:
LindaBalls:  No, I must insist.  *CO*:  Have the med team standing by.  Make sure she is who she says she is.

Host LindaBalls says:
XO:  Well, whatever you say, as long as you buy me a cup of coffee afterwards.  ::Smiling at him.::
