Host SM-Trish says:
USS Cherokee 10508.28 Discovery Part 5

Host SM-Trish says:
More and more evidence is turning up that is beginning to show the FCO may have been duped.  The crew continue to investigate.

Host Adm-Alexander says:
<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<Begin Mission>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>

Dirn says:
::scratches his arm, and hefts the crate of Latinum over his head.:: 
Self: They will never find me... I'm too deep in the caves. Too deep, too deep.

FCO-Orpax says:
::Sits in his cell, humming a tune:: Self: Where oh where has my Latinum gone, oh where oh where could it be?  Oh my, I shouldn't try to combine Hew-mon and Ferengi lullabies...

CO_Ayidee says:
::In Quark's bar, near entrance to the Holosuites, trying to over ride the control lockouts.::  
Self: I need some technical help here.

Host Adm-Alexander says:
::sitting in the commander's office on DS 9, getting some answers to the improper procedures done to her crew::

OPS_Nash says:
::in quarters with her father and the twins::

CEO_LtJg_Rome says:
::sitting in Quark's, getting a glass of water::

Action:
The controls are fused in the Holodeck.

CO_Ayidee says:
Holosuite computer: Are the safety over rides in place still?

OPS_Nash says:
Stephen_Jones:  Dad, can you do a huge favor?

FCO-Orpax says:
::Stand up.:: Self: Oh my, I'm famished.
Guard: Guard, guard! Yes, hello.. might I ask, are there any available tube grubs?

XO_Worthington says:
::finishes going over the last reports:: 
*CO*: Sir, I think the next person we should talk to is one of the FCO's associates. However I am having trouble locating him.

Computer says:
CO:  Negative, safety overrides are inactive.

Stephen_Jones says:
OPS:  Sure, Princess, what is it?

CMO_Brabas says:
::The coffee was a new nice thing in his body. He even ordered a sandwich to eat::

Dirn says:
::Runs through the caves.:: Self: Even if they catch me... Orpax will understand... he will... he would have done the same thing. He too is Ferengi.

CO_Ayidee says:
*XO*: Let me guess, is it a 'Dirn'?  If so, he's locked in a Holosuite with the safeties off.

OPS_Nash says:
Stephen_Jones:   I need to return to duty, as much as it pains me to be separated from my little ones, duty calls.  Can you watch them for a while longer?

CO_Ayidee says:
*CEO*: You have a minute?  I've got a Holosuite system I need to knock off line without blowing it up completely.

XO_Worthington says:
*CO*: Aye sir. I will meet you there. Worthington out. ::heads for the Holosuites::

Dirn says:
Self: Yes, yes... Orpax will vouch for me... but no, no! He'll want his Latinum back.. but I wont give it up... what if... no, this is not an issue, for I will not be caught! ::Huffs, puffs, and runs deeper into the labyrinth.::

CEO_LtJg_Rome says:
*CO*: On my way sir! ::runs up the steps to the Holosuite::

CO_Ayidee says:
*XO/ CEO*: Thanks, I'll be waiting at the door.

CEO_LtJg_Rome says:
::approaches the Captain:: CO: Sir.

Guard says:
::Ignores Quol::

Host Adm-Alexander says:
Cmdr:  Had this been done right in the first place, we wouldn't be having this conversation.  The mess this has caused is inexcusable!  ::watches as the man pales::

FCO-Orpax says:
Self: Of all the nerve... how indignant! ::sits down::

CO_Ayidee says:
CEO: Excellent, there's a suspect inside who somehow over rode the computer controls.  We can't shut it down, and we don't have the safeties on.  I either need an over ride of his over ride, or simply get the thing knocked down.

Stephen_Jones says:
OPS:   Of course, its a privilege to watch them for a little longer.  ::grins at his daughter::  OPS:  Remember, you don't have to ask, I will always be honored to take care of them.  You go take care of your duties.  Kiandra and Liam are in good hands.

CEO_LtJg_Rome says:
::walks straight to the wall panel and peers inside:: 
CO: What happened here?  Everything seems to be fused together.

Dirn says:
Computer: Computer, using internal station sensors... please tell me, is anyone in my shuttle?

OPS_Nash says:
::hugs her father::  
Stephen_Jones:  Thanks Dad, you're the best.

Host Station_Commander says:
Adm:  Admiral, I was assured that all the evidence was there and this was an open and shut case.  I apologize that security was a little over zealous ::pauses as the Admiral turns on him::

CO_Ayidee says:
CEO: I'm guessing this is the result of an over used system in a privately owned Holosuite.  Throw in a pinch of cost savings, and this is what we get.

XO_Worthington says:
::makes his way onto the promenade and over to the CO:: CO: What is the Ferengi up to?

CEO_LtJg_Rome says:
::tries to make sense of all the mixed Federation-Cardassian technology:: CO: I'd like to meet the person who has been doing maintenance here.

Stephen_Jones says:
::returns the hug::

CO_Ayidee says:
XO: Uncertain, he's locked himself inside some kind of maze, and shut down the systems controls.

Host Adm-Alexander says:
Cmdr:  A little over zealous?  Commander, had anyone in my command acted as your people have done, they would be out of Starfleet in a heartbeat!  ::glares at him, knowing his will be removed when she gets through with him::

Computer says:
Dirn: Access to sensors denied.

CEO_LtJg_Rome says:
CO: I'd suggest contacting the Station's Operations center and cutting all power to the Holosuite first.

CO_Ayidee says:
CEO: We'll see if we can arrange that once we get inside.

OPS_Nash says:
::she kisses her precious twins then takes off for duty, feeling more complete than ever::

CMO_Brabas says:
::He is enjoying his ham sandwich it seems that in side is almost like real ham::

Dirn says:
Self: Well, none of this matters. They will give up their search, and I will go free.

Stephen_Jones says:
::watches his daughter fly out the door then he smiles at his grandchildren::  Twins:  Now what can we do for fun?  ::the twins just look up at him::

Host Adm-Alexander says:
Cmdr:  As it stands now, I have one crewman in the brig, with his reputation tarnished, I have a CNS that due to all this, almost miscarried her triplets... the count is mounting Commander.

CO_Ayidee says:
CEO: Excellent, I thought that, but wasn't sure if there was a short cut around that.  
*Station OPS*: This is Captain Ayidee, I need the power cut off from Holosuite 3 in Quark's establishment, priority over ride.

XO_Worthington says:
CEO: can't we just disconnect the suite from the power couplings?

FCO-Orpax says:
::Taps the force field:: ::zzzzzzzzzaaaaaaaaaaaaapppp:: Guard: Oh my, you do have this set at a high power... do you think I would attempt escape?

CEO_LtJg_Rome says:
XO: Let's see if the power can't be shut off first.

Host Station OPSsays:
CO:  Captain, I cannot do that without the Commander's authority.

CO_Ayidee says:
*SBOPS*: Then get the Commander's authority.  We have a suspect holed up inside, and I'd rather do this the civilized way.

OPS_Nash says:
::feeling content, she steps off the TL::  *CO*:  This is Lt. Cmdr Nash, is there special instructions for me and a specific location you need me to be in right now?

XO_Worthington says:
Out loud: Who runs this dump? Since when do primates get station assignments!

Guard says:
FCO: Hey, Ferengi. Don't be touchin' that. If you want to burn your fingers off, do it somewhere else. I don’t want to have to deal with an injured, gluttonous fool. ::Continues reading his novel::

Host Adm-Alexander says:
<SBOPS> *Cmdr*:  This is Operations, I have a Captain Ayidee wanting us to cut power to one of the Holosuites in Quarks.  ::pauses to hear the Commander as he gives permission::  Yes Sir, immediately Sir!

Host  Station OPS Alexander says:
CO:  Captain, power is being cut now.

CO_Ayidee says:
*OPS*: Actually, come and see if you can give Chief Rome a hand getting around the Holosuites in the Ferengi's establishment.

FCO-Orpax says:
Guard: Hew-mon! How little you know about me, or my culture! Do not place judgment until you have walked in my shoes! ::sits::

Host Adm-Alexander says:
ACTION:  The power is cut to the Holosuite, but unknown to the Starbase personnel, a backup generator kicks in.

XO_Worthington says:
Self: I swear, I'm going to burn this place to the ground before this is all said and done.

OPS_Nash says:
*CO*:  I'll be right there.  Nash out.

CO_Ayidee says:
*SBOPS*: Very good, thank you.
XO: Shall we lead security inside and see what this...Galaxies, how much prep time did he put into this?

CEO_LtJg_Rome says:
::sighs as the power cuts back in::

CEO_LtJg_Rome says:
*Cherokee Engineering*: Engineering, this is Rome. Beam a standard engineering tool kit to my location please.

Dirn says:
::startles as the power momentarily fluctuates:: Self: HA! They have failed to break my encryptions!

Host Adm-Alexander says:
ACTION:  As the backup power cuts in, it throws sparks, almost burning the CEO.

CEO_LtJg_Rome says:
Self: Yikes!

OPS_Nash says:
::she makes her way to the CEO location at the Holosuites::

CO_Ayidee says:
CEO: Are you all right?

XO_Worthington says:
CEO: Are you all right?

CEO_LtJg_Rome says:
::shakes his left hand which is slightly tingling::

CEO_LtJg_Rome says:
All: Fine, just fine.

Host Adm-Alexander says:
ACTION:  The panel begins to spark again, then burns out.  The Holosuite doors open, but the program is still running.

CO_Ayidee says:
XO: I'm assuming there would be strenuous objections to my entering the caverns, wouldn't there be?

XO_Worthington says:
CO: I think you read that book before, sir. Just let me take care of this. You can be my backup.

OPS_Nash says:
::she sees the CEO::  
CEO:  Mr. Rome, I hear that you are in need of assistance.

Dirn says:
::Stops:: Self: What was that... I heard something ::listens closely, and with his Ferengi ears, hears voices.:: Self: No! ::pulls out his Disruptor, and hunkers down::

CEO_LtJg_Rome says:
OPS: Thank you, I'm gonna try to see if I can cut the power manually.

CO_Ayidee says:
XO: Very good, I'll coordinate from out here until you have the area secure.  Question, though.  What is this simulation of?

CEO_LtJg_Rome says:
*Cherokee Engineering*: Where is my toolkit?

OPS_Nash says:
CEO:  All right, what can I do to help?

CEO_LtJg_Rome says:
OPS: For now nothing, I don't want you getting hurt. This panel is highly unstable.

XO_Worthington says:
CO: Whatever it is, what happens to "Dirn" when I find him won't be any simulation. ::removes his Phaser and steps through the doors::

OPS_Nash says:
CEO:  Understood.  ::stands out of the way::

CEO_LtJg_Rome says:
XO: Be careful sir, the safeties are offline.

Dirn says:
Computer: Computer, close and seal the doors, authorization Dirn 82-55.

CO_Ayidee says:
XO: Good hunting.
OPS: While he works the physical end, see if you can access the program and see what this simulation is of.  That would help the hunt a great deal I believe.

Host Computer says:
Dirn:  Unable to comply... door circuits are not functioning.

OPS_Nash says:
CO:  I'll see what I can do for him.  I also will make sure he gets his tool kit from the ship.

Dirn says:
Computer: Computer, alter program configuration, create a barrier between me and whomever is approaching. Granite, eight feet thick.

CO_Ayidee says:
OPS: I have no doubts of that.

Host  Computer says:
Dirn:  Unable to comply at this time.  The program has been corrupted.

CEO_LtJg_Rome says:
OPS: Thank you, I'll also have to have a talk with my Engineering staff when I get back to the ship. ::annoyed at the time delay::

OPS_Nash says:
::she calls the ship to have the CEO's toolkit beamed to his location.  Moments later it appears near his location::

Dirn says:
Self: Bah!

CEO_LtJg_Rome says:
OPS: Thank you Kyleigh.

Host Adm-Alexander ACTION:  The tool kit appears near the CEO. (Transporter.wav)

OPS_Nash says:
CEO:  I understand how one's equipment is special to someone.

XO_Worthington says:
::sees several paths leading on for what seems like forever, picks one and heads slowly, anticipating what is ahead::

CEO_LtJg_Rome says:
::kneels down and opens the kit, pulling out a Coil spanner::

CO_Ayidee says:
Sec Beta: Form a perimeter, and lock down the area.  Make sure there are no "back doors" they can get out of.

Action:
Several spots on the Holosuite walls begin to sparkle, as it seems it is losing it's integrity.

Dirn says:
Self: Oh no! ::begins to panic::

CEO_LtJg_Rome says:
::puts his Coil spanner to work inside the panel::

Dirn says:
Shouts: Whomever you are... I have a lot of Latinum here! We can strike a deal, can't we?

XO_Worthington says:
::sees the failing generator and fires his Phaser::

Host Adm-Alexander says:
ACTION:  A rock explodes inside the Holosuite... the generator was a fake.

CO_Ayidee says:
OPS: It's some pretty impressive bypassing of systems he did in there.  You think we can get around it enough to get Commander Worthington a map of the place?  Or at least an idea of 'where he is'?

FCO-Orpax says:
::lays down, and puts his hands behind his head.:: Self: Never saw the sun.... shining so bright...

OPS_Nash says:
::she tries to access the computer program in hopes of finding a clue to what this running program entails and what it will take to shut it down::

XO_Worthington says:
Returns the shout: Of course, I am a business man. Make me an offer and I will see about getting you out of here before the strike teams arrive.

CEO_LtJg_Rome says:
OPS: There's nothing I can do from here, seems like the second generator is connected from within the suite somewhere.

CEO_LtJg_Rome says:
::returns the spanner to his kit, which he takes with him and enters the Holosuite:: CO: Sir, I'm going to try and find the power generator and disable it.

OPS_Nash says:
CO:  I am fairly resourceful.  I'm sure I can find a way in.

CO_Ayidee says:
CEO/ OPS: Excellent, I'd lay my Latinum on your success any day.

Dirn says:
XO: Whomever you are, let me out of this hole, and I will see to it that you never have to set foot into a drab Starfleet uniform again! Or... uh ::remembers about human morals:: I could... exchange some Latinum for uh.... um... freedom?

CEO_LtJg_Rome says:
::nods at the Captain then enters the simulation::

Dirn says:
Self: Darn, you blew it again, Dirn

FCO-Orpax says:
Self: I see blue skiiiiiieeeeeeees smilin' at meeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee ::dreadfully out of tune, and loud::

XO_Worthington says:
Dirn: How much are we talking here? Do you think I can pull this off for chump change?

Host Adm-Alexander says:
ACTION:  The XO begins to home in on the sound of Dirn's voice.  Heaven help the Ferengi when the XO finds him.

Dirn says:
XO: I warn you, I am armed! Come no closer! We can work this out from afar!

Dirn says:
XO: I will kill us both! ::readies to set his disruptor to overload::

XO_Worthington says:
::thinks he has a fix on Dirn:: Dirn: Hey, no problem. But I want to see this Latinum first. Why don't you lay out a "down payment"? ::after he finishes the statement he missteps and falls into the wall, appearing to be unconscious::

CEO_LtJg_Rome says:
::pulls his Tricorder out and begins scanning for power emissions::

Dirn says:
XO: A down payment? What amount... ::hears the thud:: Are you there?

CEO_LtJg_Rome says:
Self: Seems to be something here... ::walks towards the power emissions::

CEO_LtJg_Rome says:
::finds a rock and scans is:: Self: Here we are.

Dirn says:
::walks over to where he heard the thud, and sees the seemingly unconscious XO:: Self: Oh thank you, great Exchequer for this collateral I will use! ::grabs the XO's leg and tries to drag him back to the Latinum::

CEO_LtJg_Rome says:
::pulls out a Dualitic Inverter::

OPS_Nash says:
::is beginning to get very frustrated because she keeps hitting dead ends, she begins mumbling under her breath::

CEO_LtJg_Rome says:
*CO*: Cutting power now!

XO_Worthington says:
::in one quick move he jumps behind Dirn and slams him head first into the wall::

CEO_LtJg_Rome says:
::deactivates the generator::

Dirn says:
Self: AHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! ::a loud crack sounds in Dirn's skull.::
Dirn says:
XO: Y.... you're a monster! I... I'm deformed!

XO_Worthington says:
Dirn: Enjoy your nap. ::renders him unconscious with a nerve hold::

OPS_Nash says:
CO:  It's no use, I keep getting blocked, I am trying get at least a title of the running program.  I'll keep trying, Sir.

CO_Ayidee says:
OPS: Keep at it, don't they say there's always something left behind?

Dirn says:
::head slumps to the ground, and a slight *mush* sounds, as his skull bounces off the ground.::

OPS_Nash says:
CO:  Yes, Sir.

XO_Worthington says:
::picks up his unconscious "friend" and carries him back to the entrance::

Action:
The backup power to the Holosuite stops... the black and yellow grid lines appear, showing the XO, CEO and Dirn.

CEO_LtJg_Rome says:
Self: Another victory for Wonder Wrench. ::smiles as he gathers his kit::

XO_Worthington says:
::sees the CEO and CO:: CO: He fell down the stairs. :: carries Dirn out::

CEO_LtJg_Rome says:
XO: Some stairs.

CEO_LtJg_Rome says:
::picks up his kit and exits the Holosuite::

CO_Ayidee says:
XO: Good work, get him to the Brig, obviously.  Oh, and make sure they understand to keep him separate from mister Orpax.

XO_Worthington says:
CO: Aye, and someone might want to get that sack of Latinum. Have a medical team meet me there, he fell pretty hard, a couple times.

Host Adm-Alexander says:
::exits the Commander's office, in a much better mood than when she entered::

CEO_LtJg_Rome says:
XO: Too bad for him the safeties were off, eh commander?

Host Adm-Alexander says:
*CO*:  How are we doing Tio?  Any more information?

CEO_LtJg_Rome says:
::smiles at the XO::

CO_Ayidee says:
*Adm*: We seem to have made some progress, and may even have a suspect.  Commander Worthington is taking him to the Brig now.

XO_Worthington says:
CEO: Yea, too bad.

Host Adm-Alexander says:
*CO*:  I am on my way!

Host Adm-Alexander says:
::grinning, she hurries to the brig::

FCO-Orpax says:
Self: It's been so long since I've left this tiny space! I think I am getting cabin fever.

CEO_LtJg_Rome says:
CO: Request permission to visit the Doctor, my hand is still hurting from that damaged panel.

CO_Ayidee says:
CEO: Granted, good work.

CEO_LtJg_Rome says:
CO: Thank you sir.

CEO_LtJg_Rome says:
*CMO*: Hey Doc! I'm in need of your care. Had a disagreement with a wall panel.

XO_Worthington says:
::arrives at the brig, having already removed Dirn's weapons, and places him in a cell away from Orpax. Med team: Check him out. SEC: Hold that Phaser rifle to his head, if he moves the wrong way, shoot him. I will come back to talk to him when you have him fixed up.

Security says:
XO: Aye sir.

FCO-Orpax says:
XO: Commander! What's all the ruckus?

CEO_LtJg_Rome says:
::picks up his stuff, then heads for the infirmary::

Host Adm-Alexander says:
ACTION:  The CMO responds to the CEO stating he will meet him in the base infirmiry.

Dirn says:
::gurgle gurgle gurgle gurgle gurgle::

XO_Worthington says:
FCO: Seems a friend of yours got himself hurt pretty bad. Thanks for him I was there.

OPS_Nash says:
::seeing that there is a lot of damage, but she is able to make out a few letters.::  CO:  I was able to come up with a fraction of the title of the program.  "G-E- - - M- - - ns - - F - - - - - n a -" .  That is all I can come up with.

FCO-Orpax says:
XO: He got himself hurt? I doubt that... Dirn was always good at looking out for number one... Oh well. Good to see you again... are we any closer to solving this thing? I want out.

CO_Ayidee says:
OPS: OK, this Dirn is rather good at this after all.  I guess it's one of the things money CAN buy.  Thanks, it's a start at least.  Maybe we can figure out how he did it so we can get around it if we see it again.

Host Adm-Alexander says:
ACTION:  A medical team enters Dirn's cell and patches him up.

XO_Worthington says:
FCO: I am going to talk to Dirn, you call him, and then I am going to talk to you. And if you tell me the truth, then maybe you will get out of here.

OPS_Nash says:
CO:  Maybe.

FCO-Orpax says:
XO: Oh I'm getting out of here, no matter how it happens.

XO_Worthington says:
FCO: Not if I say you don't. Now just relax and enjoy your stay. We will speak soon.

CEO_LtJg_Rome says:
::thanks the Doctor as he leaves the infirmary, his hand feeling much better, but his uniform worse for the wear::

FCO-Orpax says:
XO: Aye. ::sits::

CO_Ayidee says:
OPS: Get a team put together to look and see what he did.  Low priority for the moment, but at worst it's a training exercise for them.

CEO_LtJg_Rome says:
Computer: Computer, is there a good tailor on this station?

XO_Worthington says:
*CO*: I think we need to put on a little show for our new friend Dirn. We will call it, "Good cop, Bad cop". I'll give you one guess who I'll play.

OPS_Nash says:
CO:  Aye Captain.

CO_Ayidee says:
*XO*: On my way.  And for my guess, is it "Jean Val jean" from Les Miserables for your part?

Host  Station_Medic says:
*CO*:  Captain, Dirn is going to be out for a least a day.  I suggest you come back tomorrow for your interrogation.

Host Adm-Alexander says:
