USS Cherokee's 200th Mission "Getting to know you"  Part 5 

Host SM-Trish says:
The Kidnapper Diggs has been found, and is a little worse for the wear.  His interrogation will start shortly, if there is anything left to interrogate after OPS and the CTO got through with him.

Host Diggs says:
::Pacing his cell, looking at the CTO wondering if he will come out of this one alive.::

OPS_Nash says:
::Sitting on the bed in the Infirmary holding Kiandra, and Liam is asleep on her lap.::

Host CO_Ayidee says:
::In Security Office.::  Montegue:  We have one, but I can't believe he worked alone.  How long can we slow down ship departures to ensure we get the other?

CTO_Hazzard says:
:: Gives Diggs a very evil grin and just stands there, staring at him.::

Capt_Lyon says:
@::Brings the shuttle in on final approach.::

CNS_T`Lin says:
::Walks away from the surgical table.  Notices a surgical sponge on the floor.::  Self:  There you are.  Nurse:  Could you please deposit that sponge in the biohazard receptacle.

CSO_Nash says:
::Sitting with OPS looking at her and the children, seeing the emotional clouds pass over their faces even in slumber.::

Host Montegue says:
CO:  Ain't nobody leaving this space anytime soon, Captain.  If they try it, they will have a disabled ship.

CEO_Ilianor says:
::Sighs, as he leans back from his console in the security office, and ..::  Self:  Oh God!  I probably shouldn't return to the Infirmary anytime soon.

Capt_Lyon says:
@COM:  SBOPS:  Shuttle Komodo requesting permission to dock.  ::Smiles at the familiar face on the screen.::

Host CO_Ayidee says:
Montegue:  Excellent, now we have to hunt those guys down.

CTO_Hazzard says:
Diggs:  So, you wanna do us all a BIG favor and tell us just exactly who you're working for, or do I have to get .. inventive .. on you?

CSO_Nash says:
OPS:  I wonder what they're thinking about?

CNS_T`Lin says:
CMO:  Doctor, if you have time, could you please check on Lt. Ilianor?  ::Walks over to the biobed where she left Adahn.::  Self:  Now where is he?

Host CO_Ayidee says:
CEO:  How did you isolate this Digg's character?

SBOPS says:
COM:  Komodo:  Permission granted, Captain.  Welcome home.  It's good to see you.  Proceed to docking bay Seven Delta.

OPS_Nash says:
CSO:  I don't know, but I am relieved they are safely back with us.

Host CO_Ayidee says:
*CNS*:  How is the surgery progressing?

Capt_Lyon says:
@COM:  SBOPS:  Acknowledged.  It's good to be here.  Lyon out.

CSO_Nash says:
OPS:  As am I, and what are you thinking about and don't tell me nothing.

Host Diggs says:
CTO:  I have already told you!  Your XO is who I was working for!  How many times do I have to say it?  ::Begins to sweat profusely.::  And, are you going to send a medic to clean me up some?  ::Wipes blood from his face.::

CNS_T`Lin says:
*CO*:  Surgery went well, Captain.  She is in recovery now.  First 24 hours will be the most critical.

CEO_Ilianor says:
::Looks up, an eyebrow raised.::  CO:  Well, um, I compiled the master passenger list, right?  And, of those names, only 15 were near the Infirmary within the time-frame of interest.  And then, well, I mean, the security team basically accosted the poor guy, and with their sensor readings, it was an easy chore identifying him from the list.

CTO_Hazzard says:
::Walks up to the cell, not quite touching the security screen.::  Diggs:  BZZZZ!  Wrong Answer.  Just when exactly did you speak with our XO.  Tell me that, and how, or do I have to come in there and .. persuade you?

Capt_Lyon says:
@::Brings the shuttle in through the hanger doors, and makes its way to the shuttle bay assigned to him.::

Host CO_Ayidee says:
*CNS*:  Then are you free?  If so, could you join Lieutenant Hazzard in the Brig?  During surgery the Nash twins were kidnapped but rescued.  I want to find out who the kidnapper was working with.

OPS_Nash says:
CSO:  You know what is forefront on my mind right now, I just don't want to ta-- ..  ::Looks down as she feels something wet and sticky.::  CSO:  Oh NO!!  I am bleeding!!  ::Starts to show a little panic in her face.::

CMO_Ferdinant says:
::Takes off his mouth cover and gloves and throws them in the waste basket.::  CNS:  Pas de problèm...  ::Catches the door the CNS let go, pushes it open again and walks through, looking around for Mister Hazzard.::  Pa:  Mister Hazzard, I presume?

Host Diggs says:
CTO:  He contacted me... asked for a favor... I don't keep those kinds of communications!  I ain't that stupid!

Host CO_Ayidee says:
CEO:  Okay, but it wasn't Diggs who pulled this off, and the other suspect doesn't match the sensor readings very well.

CSO_Nash says:
OPS:  Oh no!  *CMO*:  Medical Emergency in the delivery room.

CTO_Hazzard says:
Diggs:  WHEN!  ::He growls at the man, slamming his fist against the archway of the cell.::  Diggs:  How long ago did you contact him!

CEO_Ilianor says:
::Frowns.::  CO:  It wasn't?  Then, Diggs was not involved at all?

OPS_Nash says:
CSO:  Take the babies and puts them in their beds.

Host Diggs says:
CTO:  About 3 hours ago!  ::Jumps.::

Capt_Lyon says:
::Lands the shuttle and goes through the shut down sequences.::  Computer:  Remain on standby, ready for immediate take-off.  ::The computer chirps at him and the door closes.::

CNS_T`Lin says:
CMO:  Thank you, Doctor.  ::Walks through the door, and over to the biobed where Adahn is supposed to be.  Picks up the PADD containing the medical information of Adahn, and sees he has not been discharged.::  *CO*:  I am on my way.  And Captain, our CEO was not medically discharged.  If he is not too busy, could you please send him back to sickbay.

PA_Hazzard says:
CMO:  How's my wife doing?  Is she going to be all right?  Tell me straight, Doc!

CEO_Ilianor says:
CO:  I'll check the computer for signs of tampering with the records.  ::Begins to input the parameters necessary for such a check.::

CSO_Nash says:
OPS:  Yes.  ::Takes the twins and puts them in their beds.::

Host CO_Ayidee says:
*CNS*:  He wasn't released?  ::Stops and gives Illianor a hard look.::  Thanks, keep me informed of what you find.  CEO: Were you released from Sickbay, Chief?

CTO_Hazzard says:
Diggs:  Was it face to face?  Over a com screen?  Give me details boy .. or I'll feed you to the Nash's .. and trust me .. you want to avoid them right now!

Host Diggs says:
ACTION:  The physical exertion that OPS used on the kidnapper is now causing her to bleed from her recent birth of the twins.

CMO_Ferdinant says:
::Puts his hands on Mister Hazzard's shoulders.::  Pa:  Don't worry, Mister Hazzard.  The surgery went on without problems.  We performed one angioplasty, that is, we sort of pulverized the blockade by inflating a balloon in her artery, right at the spot of the blockade.

CEO_Ilianor says:
::Turns to face the Captain.::  CO:  Captain, have you any idea the kind of service they provide in that infirmary?  I called and called, and not one person was able to give me my discharge papers.  I had to show here to perform my duties, and I did so, no?

Host Diggs says:
CTO:  Over a com link!  Why would I lie to you?  I was to meet this woman, and she gave me the box with the sedative to keep the kids quiet!

Capt_Lyon says:
::Exits the shuttle bay and walks to the turbolift, enters and smiles at the other occupants.::  TL:  Security Office.

CNS_T`Lin says:
::Exits sickbay and makes her way to the security office brig.  Enters the TL.::  TL: Brig.

Pa_Hazzard says:
::Looks confused, both by the complicated words, and the accent.::  CMO:  So, she's gonna be all right, right?

CMO_Ferdinant says:
Pa Hazzard:  And then we did two by-passes, which both appear to have gone by very well.  We will have to monitor her the next 24 hours, to make sure she's out of the danger area, but I'm confident she will make it.  ::Smiles.::

CSO_Nash says:
::Gets out his tricorder and keeps OPS readings and monitors blood loss while trying to get a Doctor into the room.::

Host CO_Ayidee says:
CEO:  I'm only going to say this once, as "inconvenient" as it may be, you cannot ignore or bypass Doctor's advice.  Get back down there and get cleared.

CTO_Hazzard says:
::Taps his combadge.::  *Montegue*:  Commander, is it possible to pull com records coming from and going to Commander Worthington's combadge from three hours ago, trying to verify a statement the prisoner just made.

CMO_Ferdinant says:
::Squeezes Pa Hazzard's shoulders slightly.::  Pa Hazzard:  She does have to take it a bit easier, and eat healthier, but I expect her to make a very good recovery.

OPS_Nash says:
::Is starting to feel weaker by the moment and turning pale.::

CSO_Nash says:
*CMO*:  I need a doctor or someone with medical experience to the delivery room stat.

CEO_Ilianor says:
::Sighs.::  CO:  Aye, Sir.  In the meantime, the computer is running a diagnostic to ensure that no records have been tampered.  ::Steps out of the office, and heads for the turbolift, rolling his eyes once he's out.::

Host Montegue says:
CTO:  No, we wouldn't have a record, but if he used his badge your ship should.

PA_Hazzard says:
CMO:  Thank you, Doc.  I'll let you get on with your business, but thank you.

CNS_T`Lin says:
::Exits TL, and walks to the brig.::  CTO:  The Captain requested my presence here.

Host CO_Ayidee says:
CEO:  Thanks, good work.  ::Shakes head slightly as I watch him leave.::

Capt_Lyon says:
::Exits the TL and walks down the corridor to the security office, with attached brig.::

CMO_Ferdinant says:
::Looks up at the com.::  Pa Hazzard:  Sorry, Sir, I have to go.  I'll be back!  ::Runs off to the delivery room.::

CEO_Ilianor says:
::Steps into the turbolift.::  Turbolift:  Sickbay, feel free to take your time.

CTO_Hazzard says:
::Notices the CNS enter and can't help but smile at her, fighting it down and trying to remain professional.::  CNS:  Thank you, Lieutenant.  Perhaps you might have better luck convincing our friend here the importance of telling the truth.

CMO_Ferdinant says:
*CSO*:  On my way!  ::Bursts through the doors to the delivery room.::  CSO:  All right, what's the problem!

OPS_Nash says:
::Passes out as the CMO enters the room.::

CSO_Nash says:
CMO:  She just started bleeding profusely.

Capt_Lyon says:
::Enters the outer office to the brig, looking around as he tries to be unobtrusive.::

CEO_Ilianor says:
::Steps out of the turbolift and heads towards sickbay, steps through, sighs loudly, and returns to his usual bed.::

Host Diggs says:
CNS:  Well hello, baby.  Maybe now we can get a little civilized!

CNS_T`Lin says:
Diggs:  I am Counselor T'Lin.  I am sure you have been briefed by our CTO of the consequences of your actions.  Who are you working for?  We know you are not in this alone.

CMO_Ferdinant says:
::Looks at the OPS officer, just as she faints and runs over, grabbing a med kit from a little trolley.::  CSO:  All right.  ::Takes out a medical tricorder and scans her.::

CTO_Hazzard says:
*Lt. Tiernan*:  Dawn .. it's Lt. Hazzard.  Can you pull up a log of all communications the XO has had through his combadge from three hours ago?

Host CO_Ayidee says:
Montegue:  I'm going to head over and see if I can find any evidence of who Diggs was working with.  Has to be some signs left behind.

CSO_Nash says:
CMO:  I asked her how she was feeling, and then she just started bleeding.

CEO_Ilianor says:
::Sits on his biobed and calls out.::  Anyone:  All right, who in the heck paged me?

Nurse says:
CEO:  Welcome back, Lieutenant.  The doctor will be with you shortly.

Tiernan says:
*CTO*:   I'll see what I can do.

Host Diggs says:
CNS:  Well, I have tried to tell your bully here what happened but he won't listen to me.  ::Smirking at the CTO.::  And you are MUCH better on the eyes than he is!

CTO_Hazzard says:
::Stops and turns around, his face a perfect study of anger and fury.::  Diggs:  Wrong tone of voice, son.  ::Slowly goes over to the brig screen control.::

CEO_Ilianor says:
::Raises an eyebrow.::  Nurse:  Well I'm glad he will be.  ::Checks his chronometer.::

CNS_T`Lin says:
Diggs:  Let's just get to the point, shall we?  Who are you working for?  Looks like you took quite a fall.  You should be more careful where you walk.

Host CO_Ayidee says:
::Turns to leave, grabbing a Tricorder and sample kit before noticing the new arrival.::  Capt:  Captain Lyon, when did you arrive, Sir?

CSO_Nash says:
::Looks over to the sleeping children.::  CMO:  Anything I can do to help?

CTO_Hazzard says:
Diggs:  I am gonna tell you this once, ONCE.  You speak to her in anything other than a respectful tone and I will make sure that you're missing more appendages than you started with!

CMO_Ferdinant says:
::Nods, as he flips the tricorder close again and slowly lifts the covers.::  Self:  Oh dear.  ::Looks around for a hypospray, finding one on the table at the next bed.  He picks it up, fills it with a coagulant and applies it to Miss Nash's belly.::  CSO:  Get me another doctor or a nurse in here.

Capt_Lyon says:
::Smiles.::  CO:  Just now, Tio.

Host Diggs says:
CNS:  That person ..  ::Pointing to the CTO.:: .. hit me.  I have told him it was your XO who hired me.  I did it as a favor!

Nurse says:
::Runs a medical tricorder over the CEO.::  CMO:  Doctor, I know you are busy, but you have a patient that is getting impatient.

Tiernan says:
::Pulls up the information and forwards it to the CTO's location.::  *CTO*:  The data you asked for is available at your location, Sir.

CNS_T`Lin says:
Diggs:  And I suppose our XO dressed up in a nurse's uniform and snatched the babies as well?

CTO_Hazzard says:
::Takes a deep breath and turns to the console available there.::  *Tiernan*:  Thanks, Lieutenant.  I owe you one.

Host Diggs says:
CTO:  No, that was a woman.  Never met her before.  I was just to take the package and hide it on the base.  Then I was going to leave.  That is all I know!

CSO_Nash says:
CMO:  Aye Doctor.  *Med Staff*:  Can we get a nurse in the delivery room to assist Dr. Ferdinant?

CMO_Ferdinant says:
::Looks up.::  Nurse:  Not now!  Tell him to wait!  ::Focuses on Miss Nash again, monitoring her vital signs.::

CNS_T`Lin says:
Diggs:  So who did you take the package from then?

Host XO_Worthington says:
::Sitting in the security office, going over reports as his loyalty is questioned.::

Nurse says:
CEO: The doctor says he will be with you shortly.  You know how doctor's office's are.  Fifteen minute appointment, and 45 minutes of wait.

CTO_Hazzard says:
::Sits down and starts pouring through the report that Lt. Tiernan had sent him.::

Host CO_Ayidee says:
Capt:  It's good to see you again, although the timing could be better.  The Nash twins were just recovered from a kidnapping, and we're trying to find who else was involved.

Host Diggs says:
CNS:  Why won't anyone believe me?  I have told you.  I don't know who she was, and I identified who I talked to.  Beating me won't change what I know!

CMO_Ferdinant says:
::Sees the vital signs are still stable.::  Self:  All right, coagulant has been applied.  Sterile cloth.  ::Looks around, looking for some sterile bandages.::

CTO_Hazzard says:
::Mutters to himself.::  Self:  But it would sure lighten morale around here!

CNS_T`Lin says:
Diggs:  I am not going to beat you.  Maybe do a Vulcan mind-meld with you, but you do know I am only half-Vulcan, and I have not quite mastered the technique.  Last person I melded with, well he is doing okay now.

Capt_Lyon says:
::Grins.::  CO:  When was I ever good with timing?  So Kyleigh had the twins?  Good to hear they are safe.  It seems children associated with this ship has bad luck.

CTO_Hazzard says:
::Looks up at the CNS and shakes his head.::  CNS: T'Li-- ..  Lieutenant, there is no need to risk any harm to you over this scumbag.

CEO_Ilianor says:
Nurse:  God, then why did you call me back if only to make me wait.  ::Sighs, and leans back.::

Host Diggs says:
CNS:  Go ahead, doll.  You will see I am telling the truth!  ::Grinning at the CTO.::

CNS_T`Lin says:
Diggs:  So our XO, did you have personal contact with him, or did you get a letter?  How did you make the contact?  And what did you get in return?

CSO_Nash says:
::Moves to a drawer as he sees the Doctor looking for something.  Pulls out some sterile bandages and hands them to the doctor.::  CMO:  I believe you were about to ask for these.

CTO_Hazzard says:
Diggs:  That does it.

Host Diggs says:
CNS:  As I said, I was doing a favor.

Host CO_Ayidee says:
Capt:  Perhaps, but luck seems to be manipulated when the children can be used as tools to apply pressure.

CTO_Hazzard says:
::Stands up and moves to the door control.::  Diggs:  Just had to open your mouth.  Back home, we have ways of teachin' respect!

CNS_T`Lin says:
CTO:  Stand down, Lieutenant!

Capt_Lyon says:
CO:  Despicable in itself.  ::Sighs.::  And there I thought I could drop by, have a nice visit with you all and then be on my merry way again.  Well, you need some help?

CNS_T`Lin says:
Diggs:  How did the XO contact you?

CTO_Hazzard says:
::Turns and looks at the CNS with wide eyes.::  CNS:  I won't allow him to mouth off to you like that.

CNS_T`Lin says:
CTO:  I want to hear his side of the story.

Host Diggs says:
CNS:  Like I said before, he commed me.  Asked me to pick up a package from a woman.  I didn't know it would be kids!  But it was too late to do something else, so I did as I was told!

Host CO_Ayidee says:
Capt:  Depends on how good you are at manipulating a sensor log or discovering the identity of a disguised kidnapper based upon sensor readings.

CNS_T`Lin says:
Diggs:  So how do you know it was the XO then?

OPS_Nash says:
::Resting comfortably and color is returning to normal.::

CTO_Hazzard says:
CNS:  His side?  He doesn't have a side.  He willfully kidnapped two INFANTS.  This guy is lower than LoDuca and Devar combined.  As far as I am concerned, the nearest airlock would be the quickest way to deal with this trash!

CMO_Ferdinant says:
::Grabs some bandages after he finally found them, and puts them on the incision they made for the Caesarian procedure, applying a little pressure to prevent more blood from coming out.::

Capt_Lyon says:
::Raises an eyebrow.::  CO:  It seems you forgot that I did start out my Starfleet career as an operations officer.  I can still get into the Cherokee's command systems without you knowing it.  ::Grins.::  Lead on.

CNS_T`Lin says:
CTO:  He accepted a package, Lieutenant.  He did not harm the children.  I want to know everything, and I do NOT want to jump to conclusions.

CTO_Hazzard says:
::Grinds his teeth and stares at the CNS.::  CNS:  A word with you in private, Counselor?

Host CO_Ayidee says:
Capt:  It seems you forgot, I spent several years working to secure said systems.  ::Grins back.::  But for getting through computer files, I'll bet you can work pretty fast and efficiently.

CNS_T`Lin says:
*CEO*:  Adahn, I know you are in sickbay, but I need your presence here in the brig.  Could you come down to see me, please.  Diggs:  Excuse me one moment, please.  ::Steps to the side with the CTO.::  CTO:  What is it?

CEO_Ilianor says:
::Frowns, with a bit of spite in his voice perhaps.::  *CNS*:  I'm afraid I can't, I'm held up here in Sickbay right now, T'Lin.

CSO_Nash says:
CMO:  Anything else you need Doctor?  I have acclimated myself with the contents of this room while OPS was in the delivery chair.  I pretty much know where 
everything is.

CMO_Ferdinant says:
::Releases the pressure and looks at the vital signs again, seeing the blood pressure is up again.::  CSO:  There, that should do it, I think.  ::Smiles.::

CTO_Hazzard says:
::Keeps his voice down to a whisper but still conveys the anger.::  CNS:  Just what in the heck do you think you're doing?  He kidnapped Scotty and Kyleigh's kids, and is trying to pin this on Commander Worthington.  And your coddling him?

Capt_Lyon says:
::Chuckles.::  CO:  Show me where it is and I'll see what I can do for you, and I bet I can still get into the Cherokee's systems, no matter what you did.

CNS_T`Lin says:
CTO:  And just what do you think you are doing?  I thought all people were innocent until proven guilty in a court of law.  Have you not learned anything from what we just went through.  Badgering this man and beating the crap out of him will not get anything out of him.

Host CO_Ayidee says:
Computer:  Bring up sensor readings from abduction point, bio scans of abductor.

CSO_Nash says:
CMO:  I hope so.  I just hope that we don't have to go chasing the children down.  ::Looks over at them and smiles.::  Doctor, while you are here, can you see what was used on them to prevent them from crying?

Host XO_Worthington says:
::Starts thumbing through the surveillance photos captured outside of the scene of the abduction.  Suddenly notices a picture of someone getting in the TL::  Montegue:  Hey, I know this person.  Have you ID this person yet?  ::Shows her the photograph.::

Host Computer says:
CO:  Bringing up sensor readings now.

CMO_Ferdinant says:
::Nods.::  CSO:  Certainly.  ::Picks up the tricorder again and heads over to the little ones.::

Capt_Lyon says:
::Sits down at the console and starts looking through the sensor data.::

CNS_T`Lin says:
*Nurse in sickbay*:  Could you please release the lieutenant under my authorization and send him to the security office.

Host Montegue says:
XO:  No, your CEO was working on that aspect.

CTO_Hazzard says:
::Almost growls with frustration.::  CNS:  So what?  We give him milk and cookies and promise not to scare him, and he'll just start cooperating?  Maybe sit him in a corner for a time out?

Nurse says:
CEO:  You are free to go, with the understanding that you will come back here once you are finished with the CNS.

Capt_Lyon says:
CO:  What seems to be your problem here, Tio?

CEO_Ilianor says:
::Rolls eyes.::  Nurse:  Thank you kindly.  I appreciate it.  ::Snickers, as he struts out of the sickbay, and heads for the turbolift .. again.  He steps in.::  Turbolift:  Security office .. again.

Host XO_Worthington says:
Montegue:  This woman, she was Starfleet intelligence, until she was killed by LoDuca.  So unless ghosts are responsible, I think we may have a new lead.

CNS_T`Lin says:
CTO:  And what would you prefer to do?  Beat it out of him?  Is that part of Starfleet protocol?  I am saving your job.  Now stand down and let me do mine.

Host CO_Ayidee says:
Capt:  Trying to determine who that person is.  We had a suspect, who is now being "checked out" in the infirmary, a Linda Balls, but she's about 20 cm too short.

CTO_Hazzard says:
::Stares at the CNS for a second, then turns his back to her and walks over to the console.  CNS:  Whatever you say, Lieutenant!

Host Montegue says:
XO:  Killed?  Starfleet?  Okay, start explaining that one, Trent.

CEO_Ilianor says:
::Steps out of the turbolift, and heads back to the security office, again, towards the brig section, looking for T'Lin.::

CMO_Ferdinant says:
::Runs the tricorder over the kids and waits for the results to come through.::

CSO_Nash says:
::Looks on as the doctor runs his scan and looks to the comfortable OPS while she sleeps.::

Host XO_Worthington says:
Montegue:  I believe her name is Diana Smith.  She was Starfleet Intelligence, sent in to shadow LoDuca.  He found out and it was assumed that he killed her, but I suppose she is alive and working together with him. That would explain a great deal.

Capt_Lyon says:
::Runs a few algorithms through the data.::  CO:  20cm?  That is quite a difference.

Host Montegue says:
XO:  With him or for him Trent?  Looks like to me, she is on his side.

CNS_T`Lin says:
::Gets a lump in her throat, but knows she is doing the right thing.  Returns to the table where Diggs is sitting.  Notices Adahn out of the corner of her eye coming toward her.::  Diggs:  As I said before, how do you know it was our XO that spoke to you if it was only over a Comm?

CTO_Hazzard says:
::Sits down at the console once again and begins to review the data he received from the Cherokee, stabbing the buttons with fierce finger jabs.::

Host CO_Ayidee says:
Capt:  Aye, that's the thing.  A few Centimeters are easy to get around, but 20?

CMO_Ferdinant says:
::Smiles as he sees the results.::  CSO:  Ah, I see.  Nothing harmful, Mister Nash.  Just a small dose of valium.  Safe and effective.

CSO_Nash says:
CMO:  Thank you, Doctor.  I just wanted to make sure it was nothing harmful.

Host XO_Worthington says:
Montegue:  In any event, this proves LoDuca is responsible.  Just get me to a ship, and I will go find him.

Host Diggs says:
CNS:  You aren't as smart as I thought you were, babe .. a communication screen?  You know, voice and picture?

CSO_Nash says:
CMO:  Or something that wouldn't have any lingering effects.

Capt_Lyon says:
::Hums softly as he changes a few parameters and runs the algorithms again.::  CO:  Either it wasn't her, or the sensors are lying.  What does she say?

Host CO_Ayidee says:
Capt:  Says she knows nothing of it.  Based on the sensor readings confirming it wasn't her, I tended to believe it was the truth.

CNS_T`Lin says:
Diggs:  Well let's see how smart you think I really am.  I would like you to meet my friend, Adahn.  ::Calls Adahn over.::  Adahn is Betazoid.  Do I have your permission to let him read your thoughts?

Host XO_Worthington says:
*CO*:  Captain, I have some disturbing news.  It appears Diana Smith is still alive and was the one responsible for kidnapping the Nash twins.

CMO_Ferdinant says:
::Smiles.::  CSO:  In a few hours, they won't even notice they ever had that injection.  Now, if you'll excuse me, I need to check up on another patient.  

CSO_Nash says:
CMO:  Thank you, I'll not keep you any longer.

CMO_Ferdinant says:
::Nods to the CSO and heads out of the door again, and into the door of another room.  The room the CEO had been in.::  Out loud:  Hello?

Host Diggs says:
CNS:  Hey!  I said you could.  ::Looking at the person she is indicating.::  Why him?  Can't you do it?

CNS_T`Lin says:
Diggs:  Because I am afraid if I do it, your brain will be more fried than what you would like it to be.

CEO_Ilianor says:
::Hears his name, and migrates over to the brig, with his hands clasped behind his back, a small smile on his face as he sees Steve Diggs.::

CNS_T`Lin says:
Diggs:  Now do I have your permission.

Host CO_Ayidee says:
*XO*:  Diana Smith?  Where is she now?

CTO_Hazzard says:
::Looks to the CEO and grins.::  Diggs:  Oh don't worry.  He's almost got it to where the vict-- .. I mean subject stops screaming incoherently.  Isn't that right, Chief?

CEO_Ilianor says:
CNS:  You want me to do what?  ::Looks at Diggs again.::  Diggs:  I do delicate work, sir.

Host Diggs says:
CNS:  Does he have to touch me?  ::Not liking the idea at all, hoping the pretty one would handle him.::

CNS_T`Lin says:
::Tries to cover the grin on her face.::  Diggs:  Only if you want him to.

Capt_Lyon says:
::Breath catches in his throat as he hears the name.::  CO:  Tio, she was the reason I got kidnapped more than a year ago.

CMO_Ferdinant says:
::Shrugs as he doesn't get a reply, and heads out again, back to the surgical area.::

Host XO_Worthington says:
*CO*:  Probably long gone. It looks like our old friend LoDuca is messing with us again. We need to go find him now, Sir, before anyone else is hurt.

Host Diggs says:
CNS:  Sure,  ::Shrugs shoulders.::  As long as he keeps his hands to himself!

CNS_T`Lin says:
CEO:  Adahn, scan him, and tell me if our XO is behind this.

Host CO_Ayidee says:
Capt:  I know, but this time we stopped her short.  Guess luck has turned for the better.  Do the sensor readings match Diana Smith?

CNS_T`Lin says:
Diggs:  Oh, and Diggs.  If you are lying to me, you get to deal with our CTO.

CTO_Hazzard says:
::Finishes scanning the records and looks up at Diggs, his grin one that would give anyone the shivers.::  Diggs:  You told a lie, Mr. Diggs.

Host Diggs says:
::Looks curiously at the man.::

Capt_Lyon says:
::Taps controls.::  CO:  Checking now.

CEO_Ilianor says:
CNS:  Give me a few seconds, T'Lin.  ::Smiles, and walks up to the force field.::  Diggs:  Just .. relax, sir.  Open your mind.  ::Looks right into Diggs' eyes, as he begins to peer through his thoughts.::

CMO_Ferdinant says:
::Enters the small office and sits down behind one of the desk, grabbing a PADD from one of the drawers and starts filling out some paperwork.::

Host Diggs says:
CTO:  I am NOT lying.  Ask whoever he is if I am!

CSO_Nash says:
::Looks on as OPS and the children sleep peacefully.::

Host CO_Ayidee says:
*XO*:  See if you can track down where she went.  Pursuit should begin as soon as possible.

CSO_Nash says:
*CO*:  How goes the hunt, Sir?

CTO_Hazzard says:
::Notices the CEO is concentrating and backs off for a minute.  Still angry at the CNS, but remaining in the background.::

Capt_Lyon says:
Computer:  Match physical dimensions of Diana Smith with those of the intruder.

Host Diggs says:
::Feels like an itch in his skull he can't scratch.::

CEO_Ilianor says:
~~~Diggs:  Just .. relax .. this won't hurt much .. unless you want it.~~~  ::Giggles, as he closes his eyes, and images start pouring into his mind, superfluous images, unfamiliar images, but then ..::

Host CO_Ayidee says:
*CSO*:  We have a lead, Diana Smith of LoDuca fame.

CNS_T`Lin says:
::Can sense the anger from the CTO, but he is going to have to deal with it .. for now.::

Host XO_Worthington says:
Montegue:  Any records of transporter activity in the area?  Has she been spotted anywhere else?

Capt_Lyon says:
::Bites back a curse.::  CO:  That rancid snake of a bi .  ::bites back the curse.::  Tio, it was her.

Host Montegue says:
XO:  No transporter activity, but she could have walked out to a dock before the alert was sent out, and by now transferred to another ship. Sorry, Trent.

CSO_Nash says:
::Hears that and grimaces.::  *CO*:  Lo'Duca?  I guess that old villain has found a new wrinkle to an all time low.

CEO_Ilianor says:
::He comes across an image of a communications panel, with a monitor.::  ~~~Diggs:  What have we here?~~~  ::Probes a little deeper, and identifies the person on the monitor.::  CNS/CTO:  I see .. I see Cmdr. Worthington.  ::Raises an eyebrow.::

CTO_Hazzard says:
CEO:  Are you sure?  Dig deeper.  Fry his brain for all I care!

CNS_T`Lin says:
CEO:  Adahn?  Are you sure it is Trent?

Host CO_Ayidee says:
Capt:  Good, better to know who you face.  Now we have to find her.

CNS_T`Lin says:
::Glares at the CTO.::

CTO_Hazzard says:
::Glares right back at the CNS.::

Host XO_Worthington says:
*CO*:  She is probably long gone, sir.  Security will keep a look out for anyone matching her description but she is probably in the next sector by now.

Capt_Lyon says:
::Mutters darkly and starts running a trace through all the SB logs and sensor data.::  CO:  I'll find her, and this time I'll strangle her myself.

CNS_T`Lin says:
CEO:  What exactly was said Adahn?

Host Diggs says:
CNS:  See, I told you I wasn't lying.  It is him!

CNS_T`Lin says:
Diggs:  Relax.  He is not finished yet.

CEO_Ilianor says:
::Stands a little closer.::  ~~~Diggs:  Why is Cmdr. Worthington here?~~~  ::Goes deeper, trying to find other similar thoughts of Cmdr. Worthington hidden in Diggs' mind .. and a voice.::  CNS/CTO:  I hear a voice, Cmdr. Worthington, saying something about .. how Diggs owes a favor .. that there's a package that needs to be picked up, and .. and..

Host CO_Ayidee says:
Capt:  I'll throw your name in the lottery, but the line is pretty long.

CEO_Ilianor says:
CNS/CTO:  And then to hide it on the station.  ::Opens his eyes.::

CSO_Nash says:
::Wonders why he doesn't keep that chip with him at all times?::  Self:  But that only works on any system that Lo'Duca has placed in someone's head and uses to communicate with them.

CEO_Ilianor says:
::Turns to face the CNS and CTO.::  CNS/CTO:  Whatever "it" is.

CTO_Hazzard says:
CNS/CEO:  Well, we have a problem then.  I just reviewed the com records from the Cherokee.  No such message was received by the Commander at the time this .. cowpattie, said.

Capt_Lyon says:
::Looks furious.::  CO:  Well, they can get at the back of the line.  I have first dibs on her.  She was the one that kidnapped me, and introduced her into our lives.  Her and that p'tagh of a LoDuca.  ::Pauses.::  Is he dead?

Host CO_Ayidee says:
Capt:  Now we just need a ship, repairs to the Cherokee won't be finished for a couple weeks, weeks we don't have.

CNS_T`Lin says:
CEO:  You were able to see Trent?  Or not?  CTO:  Is it possible to erase those records?

Host CO_Ayidee says:
Capt:  No, he's not dead; and he seems to have found some allies in a Cardassian dissident movement.  But he has a flaw, like bugs to a light he keeps coming back to us.

CEO_Ilianor says:
CTO/CNS:  I cannot be entirely sure whether or not Diggs is lying, but I am fairly certain he is not.  I am also fairly certain that he didn't know about the contents of the package; and, in response to your question .. yes, I saw Cmdr. Worthington .. he was on the monitor.  I saw him through Diggs' own eyes.  ::Turns back, and gives Diggs a wink.::

CMO_Ferdinant says:
::Puts the PADD aside and picks up a new one, filing another report.::

CTO_Hazzard says:
::Looks at the CNS rather crossly.::  CNS:  After the incident with the virus, Commander Nash and Lt. Nash have worked non-stop to prevent that kind of tampering.  I doubt it was erased.

Capt_Lyon says:
::Growls as the computer beeps at him.::  CO:  Well, next time he crosses my path, I'll have a plasma cannon ready for him.

CNS_T`Lin says:
CTO:  But it is still possible, Lieutenant.

Host CO_Ayidee says:
Capt:  I'm sure he will, and I wish you luck in the search.

Capt_Lyon says:
::Starts to smile.::  CO:  Well, lookee here!  ::Pulls up the records.::

Host CO_Ayidee says:
Capt:  What did you find?

CTO_Hazzard says:
CNS:  So that's it.  We're just gonna take this moron at his word and arrest the XO?

Host Diggs says:
CNS:  See cutie!  I told you!  I didn't lie, and I think I am going to file a suit against your friend there!!

CTO_Hazzard says:
::His words dripping with sarcasm.  Turns and glares at Diggs.::  Diggs:  You gotta be breathing to do that.

Capt_Lyon says:
CO:  Tio, dear friend, its the comms from Trent to Diggs.

CNS_T`Lin says:
Diggs:  A suit for what?  For interrogating you?  You are forgetting you still did the crime.

CSO_Nash says:
::Begins to fume and pace around the room.::  Self:  I'm glad that Kyleigh and Liam and Kiandra are not telepathic or empathic.

CNS_T`Lin says:
*CO*:  Captain, we have a problem.

Host Diggs says:
CTO:  But if I remember my SF regs, you did not have the right to bust me up .. and I STILL haven't gotten proper medical treatment!

Host CO_Ayidee says:
Capt:  From the Cherokee?  *CNS*: What is it?

CNS_T`Lin says:
CTO:  Give the man a band aide, would you?   *CO*: Adahn scanned Diggs, and in he is almost certain that the images he saw were Trent.  I am going to send the CEO to you to give you an update.

CEO_Ilianor says:
CTO:  You know, if I applied .. the proper amount of pressure, he might crack if he's lying .. but, only if you think it's a good idea.

CTO_Hazzard says:
Diggs:  Allow me to remind you, Mister Diggs.  You are charged with accessory to kidnapping, endangering 2 minors, resisting arrest and assault on a Starfleet Officer.  And, yes, you did receive proper medical attention.  You were beamed into sickbay and placed on a biobed.  Your injuries, minor as they were, were repaired.

Capt_Lyon says:
::Smiles.::  CO:  But, it wasn't Trent.  It's buried so deep in the base records, it HAS to be fake.

Host Diggs says:
CTO:  Yeah right.  ::Turns and walks to the back of his cell and sits down on the bed.::

Host CO_Ayidee says:
*CNS*:  Images?  Identity on a transmission is easy to alter.  Ask him what the name Diana Smith means to him?

CTO_Hazzard says:
CNS:  Lieutenant, lock the entrance to the Brig, please.

Host CO_Ayidee says:
Capt:  Can you tell where the transmission came from?

CNS_T`Lin says:
*CO*:  Will do.  ::Walks over to Diggs.::  Diggs:  Does the name Diana Smith mean anything to you?

CTO_Hazzard says:
::Sighs and walks over to the main brig entrance, tapping a security code and locking the door from the inside.  CNS:  Step away from the door, Counselor.

CEO_Ilianor says:
Diggs:  Oh, remember, I'm still here.

Host Diggs says:
CNS:  No, why should it?  ::Looking her up and down, and undressing her with his eyes.::

Host Diggs says:
CEO:  Fine, take another look-- see .. never heard of her.

CNS_T`Lin says:
CEO:  Do it.

Capt_Lyon says:
::Calls up the transmission.::  CO:  It was sent from here on the base.  Remember, Diana Smith is an SFI agent.  She has access codes we can only dream of.

CTO_Hazzard says:
CEO/CNS:  Both of you, stand down.

CNS_T`Lin says:
CTO:  Excuse me?

Host CO_Ayidee says:
Capt:  Thanks, that's a great start.

CEO_Ilianor says:
CTO:  What, and end my fun? ::Steps back, and wonders what the CTO is going to do.::

CNS_T`Lin says:
CTO:  I remind you, Mark.  You are a Starfleet officer.  Let Adahn scan him.

CTO_Hazzard says:
CNS:  You heard me, Lieutenant.  Stand .. Down.  I am the Chief Tactical Officer and currently the officer in charge of this interrogation.  Step away from the cell door.

Host Diggs says:
CTO:  What is it big man?  Gonna beat me again?  How will you explain that one?

Host CO_Ayidee says:
Capt:  Can we trace those steps, now that we know she's using her codes?

CNS_T`Lin says:
CTO:  And I have been called here by the Captain directly, so if you want me to stand down, then I am afraid you better go speak to your Captain.

CEO_Ilianor says:
CTO:  I promise you, I can get the answer out of him.

CNS_T`Lin says:
CEO:  Scan him, Adahn.

Capt_Lyon says:
CO:  I'll see what I can do.  ::Starts entering his own codes, the new ones since he started working back on Earth.::

CNS_T`Lin says:
CEO:  It's okay, Adahn.  Scan him.

Host CO_Ayidee says:
Capt:  Thanks, now I think I need to get a few other answers.  Give me a call if you need me.  ::Turns and heads to the Brig.::

CTO_Hazzard says:
::Crosses his arms and then looks over at Diggs.::  Diggs:  That lady just saved your life.

Capt_Lyon says:
::Bites his lower lip as the computer runs a search.::  CO:  I'm not very optimistic.  Ms. Smith was never one to stick around after doing something nefarious.

CEO_Ilianor says:
CTO:  Now, if you don't mind, is it possible you could lower the force field?

CTO_Hazzard says:
::Walks over to the opposite end of the brig, opening the door from the console.

Host Diggs says:
CTO:  Yeah, right little man!  Hide behind a woman.  ::Smirks.::

Host CO_Ayidee says:
Capt:  Just give us a direction, and we'll owe you a huge one.

CNS_T`Lin says:
Diggs:  If you do not curb your comments, I am going to let him have a piece of you.

CTO_Hazzard says:
::Stands up and walks briskly over to the force field control.::  Diggs:  That's it!

CNS_T`Lin says:
::Stands in front of the CTO and Diggs.::  CTO: Stand down!  ::Places herself between Diggs and the CTO.::

CEO_Ilianor says:
CTO:  I won't lay a hand on him, I promise.  ::He looks over at the CTO.::  

Host Diggs says:
::Shrugs his shoulders.::  CEO:  Well go ahead, let's get this over with.  Little man needs his raw meat today!

Capt_Lyon says:
::Mutters and pokes the console a few times.::  CO:  Well, I won't be able to collect.  She was careless in leaving the comm in the system, but that's all.  I can't dig up anything for you to trace.

Host CO_Ayidee says:
::Enters Brig.::  CTO: Lieutenant, what is happening here?

CTO_Hazzard says:
::Is about to enter the brig cell when the CO walks in.  Biting his lip and stepping away from the control he stands at attention.::  

CEO_Ilianor says:
CTO:  Whoa--  CO:  Captain.

Host CO_Ayidee says:
Diggs:  Okay, so far we've found out that you weren't behind it, and you claim you were doing a favor, right?

CEO_Ilianor says:
::Stands to the side, against the wall, with his arms crossed on his shoulders, waiting for the CTO to calm down, and waiting for the CO to leave so he can get to work.::

Host Diggs says:
CO:  I think you need to put a muzzle on your CTO.  He had been threatening me with bodily harm, after I have been very cooperative, Captain!

Host XO_Worthington says:
::Continues sifting through photos taken all over the station in the past few hours.::  Montegue:  Any updates?

CTO_Hazzard says:
CO:  Captain, permission to be excused.  I'm ..  ::Takes a breath and looks him squarely in the eye.::  CO:  Captain, I am too close to the situation personally to continue.  It's better for the investigation

Host CO_Ayidee says:
CTO:  Very well, go calm yourself down.

CNS_T`Lin says:
CO:  Captain, permission to leave with the CTO.

Host CO_Ayidee says:
CNS:  Granted.

CTO_Hazzard says:
CO:  Thank you, Sir.  ::Takes a step and does not wait for the CNS to follow.::

CNS_T`Lin says:
CO: Thank you, Sir.  CEO: Adahn, could you stay please and assist the Captain?

CEO_Ilianor says:
CNS:  Absolutely, T'Lin.  ::Stands next to the CO.::  CO:  Diggs has been .. quite forthcoming, but I'm not sure our work is complete yet, with him.

CNS_T`Lin says:
CEO:  Thank you, Adahn.  ::Turns and sees the CTO walking briskly away.  Runs after him.::  CTO:  Mark, wait.

Host CO_Ayidee says:
Diggs:  Why did you think you owed Commander Worthington a favor?

Capt_Lyon says:
::Gets up and walks to Montegue's office, enters the room, and takes in the sight.::

Host CO_Ayidee says:
*XO*:  Commander, could you come to the Brig please?  I think you need to be in on this as well.

Host XO_Worthington says:
*CO*:  Aye, Sir.  ::Wonders why he has been summoned to the brig.  Heads out of the office and enters the TL::

Host CO_Ayidee says:
CEO:  It's all about getting the right questions before you can interpret the answers, at least in my experience.

Host Montegue says:
XO:  Captain Lyon has found the com originated here on the base, but that is all.  I think we can confirm it was Diana.

CTO_Hazzard says:
::Continues to storm down the hallway.::  CNS:  No thank you, Counselor.  I wouldn' t want you to have to save my job again.

CNS_T`Lin says:
CTO:  Fine.  Go cool off.  When you are ready to talk, come find me.  ::Storms back to the brig, angry.::

Host XO_Worthington says:
::Exits the TL and walks down toward the brig, noticing the CTO as he walks by.::

OPS_Nash says:
::Resting still from nearly bleeding to death.::

CTO_Hazzard says:
::Stops, not noticing the XO, turning to a nearby wall and punching it in frustration.::

CSO_Nash says:
::Paces a hole in the deck plates trying to piece this puzzle together.::

Capt_Lyon says:
::Turns around and starts walking to the TL to visit with Samantha.::

Host CO_Ayidee says:
Diggs:  Again I ask, why did you think you owed Commander Worthington a favor?

CTO_Hazzard says:
Self :  Am I the only one here that sees that slime ball for the piece of Vulcan N'takc that he is?!?

Host XO_Worthington says:
::Shakes his head and enters the brig.::  CO:  Reporting as ordered, Sir.  Any more baseless accusations do you have for me?

CNS_T`Lin says:
::Stops before entering the brig, wiping a tear from her eye before she enters the brig again.::

Host Diggs says:
CO:  I didn't owe him a favor, but a friend of his...

Host Diggs says:
CO:  That's him!  ::Pointing at the XO.::  Keep him away from me!  ::Backs up in terror.::

CTO_Hazzard says:
::Slowly slides down the opposite wall, cradling his bruised hand and trying to keep from crying out of frustration.::

Host CO_Ayidee says:
XO:  Actually I want to get to the source of the accusation.  Diggs:  What friend?  Oh be quiet, haven't you ever heard of altered image Transmission?

CNS_T`Lin says:
::Stares at the XO, as Diggs points to him.::

Host Diggs says:
CO:  I don't want to die.::

Host XO_Worthington says:
CO:  The source is a bunch of liars lied again, and I am about to get upset about it.  ::Stares down Diggs.::
