USS Cherokee Interference Part 3

Host SM-Trish says:
The XO has decided to take the time to take a tour with the CEO and TO to see how their men are positioned in case of boarding by any of Diana's men.

CEO_LtJG_Rome says:
::finishes his last check-up on the intermix chamber::

Host Adm-Alexander says:
::stepping onto the bridge from the TL she sees the XO and walks over to him::  XO:  Trent, how is it going?

TO_Ens_Holax says:
::makes sure he's got enough tissues in his uniform, he's not sure he’s over the flu completely::

XO_Worthington says:
::on the bridge after being dug out of his quarters, going over the latest evaluation reports:: Adm: Just getting caught up. Don't worry, we will find them.

Host Adm-Alexander says:
XO:  Are repairs being made to your quarters?

XO_Worthington says:
Adm: I hope so, the bulkhead has completely collapsed.

TO_Ens_Holax says:
::checks status of men on all decks of the Cherokee::

Host Adm-Alexander says:
CEO:  What is the progress on the repairs to the XO's quarters?

CEO_LtJG_Rome says:
Adm: The bulkhead has been removed and we are in the process of installing a new one, the relays were all fused through.

Host Adm-Alexander says:
CEO:  I am assuming we do have replacements?

CEO_LtJG_Rome says:
Adm: Oh I always make sure to have enough replacements on this ship. ::grins::

TO_Ens_Holax says:
::shifts sloggily from foot to foot, sniffling slightly::

Host Adm-Alexander says:
TO:  I want a security guard on those quarters until they are fully operational.  I don't like the possibility that Diana might have snuck someone on the Cherokee.

Host Adm-Alexander says:
TO:  By the way, I don't think we have met.  I am Admiral Trish Alexander.  We have been somewhat busy since you were assigned.  Where are you from?

TO_Ens_Holax says:
::nods:: Adm: Of course ma'am.

Host Adm-Alexander says:
XO:  And don't look at me that way Trent.  ::knowing he would love to get his hands on her or LoDuca::

TO_Ens_Holax says:
Adm: I'm from Greece, back on Earth. It's a pleasure to meet you.

Host Adm-Alexander says:
TO:  Take good care of my crew Wechel.  I won't always be onboard to help out!

TO_Ens_Holax says:
Adm: I surely will.

XO_Worthington says:
Adm: I don't know what you are talking about Admiral. ::grins knowing she probably read his thoughts::

Host Adm-Alexander says:
::grinning back at him:: XO:  Now would I do that?

CEO_LtJG_Rome says:
::makes a mental note to find out the back story of this Diana::

XO_Worthington says:
Adm: I am going to personally inspect the security with the TO and CEO. Will you take over?

Host Adm-Alexander says:
::looking at him::  XO:  I would love to... not often I get to sit in that seat.

CEO_LtJG_Rome says:
::hears the XO and secures his console, then stands up::

TO_Ens_Holax says:
*Security*: Ensign Topica, I want another man outside the XO's quarters immediately please.

CEO_LtJG_Rome says:
::signals the console for a replacement to take over::

XO_Worthington says:
Adm: Just keep her in one piece. Over to you, ma'am.

XO_Worthington says:
CEO/TO: Your with me. ::heads for the TL::

Host Adm-Alexander says:
XO:  I have the bridge, and I will do my best not to disappoint you, XO.

CEO_LtJG_Rome says:
XO: Yes sir. ::follows the Commander::

TO_Ens_Holax says:
::checks his surroundings before following the XO::

Host Adm-Alexander says:
::walks around the Captain's chair and takes a seat, remembering her only and last command as the Captain of the Scorpius::

XO_Worthington says:
::waits for the TO and CEO to enter: TL: Security office.

Host Adm-Alexander says:
::notices that the CSO is hard at work, trying to keep on top of the faint ion trail::

XO_Worthington says:
TO: Ensign, have you had much time to brief your team leaders?

TO_Ens_Holax says:
::sneezes loudly, making everyone in the Turbolift jump::

Host Adm-Alexander says:
OPS:  Dawn, keep sharp there.  I know Kyleigh trained you well.  It is hard to get her to leave her seat, but it's time she had a few hours with the twins.

TO_Ens_Holax says:
XO: Sor.. sorry sir.

CEO_LtJG_Rome says:
::looks at the Ensign grinning::

TO_Ens_Holax says:
XO: Unfortunately not sir, I have assigned them sufficiently, but I have been off duty with flu.

XO_Worthington says:
::exits the TL and walks out:: TO: No problem. Let's meet with Alpha leader.

CEO_LtJG_Rome says:
::exits the TL::

TO_Ens_Holax says:
::leaves the Turbolift::

Host Adm-Alexander says:
<Dawn> ADM:  You can say that again.  It has been really nice for her to have her Dad here as well.  Admiral, if there is so much as a whisper on the com channels, I will let you know.  The entire operations department would like to get their hands on Diana.  There was no excuse for the torment that Kevin and Kyleigh had to endure.

XO_Worthington says:
TO/CEO: LoDuca and his associates are all psychopaths. They will stop at nothing to kill all of us and destroy this ship. It is of the utmost importance for us all to be on our toes. If we blink for a moment we could all be particles.

Host Adm-Alexander says:
OPS:  Yes, I was in her position not so long ago.  You try to stay calm, however, it seems your heart never functions quite the same until you hold them in your arms.

TO_Ens_Holax says:
XO: To be honest Sir, I'd be better equipped to tackle this if I knew more about this Diana.. who exactly is it?

CEO_LtJG_Rome says:
XO: I agree with the Ensign, Sir. No one has breathed a word about this Diana.

Host Adm-Alexander says:
<Dawn> ::nods in understanding as she remembers the kidnapping of T'Sara as well::

XO_Worthington says:
TO/CEO: She is former Starfleet intelligence. She was supposed to be a mole in the KPF but she was a double agent. She secretly had been working with them all along. There is no telling how many people have died because of her deception.

Host Adm-Alexander says:
::sitting back in the Captain's seat, she recalls the details of what her crew told her and what they went through to return her daughter::

CEO_LtJG_Rome says:
::nods at the Commander:: XO: That's awful.

TO_Ens_Holax says:
XO: Forgive me, but I sense something of a personal history between her and this ship or those serving on her.

XO_Worthington says:
TO/CEO: The KPF is an organization believed to be dead for many years. They had a brief run about twenty years ago trying to stir up trouble between the Federation and The Romulan Star Empire. Their mission is to destroy all Romulan's for the preservation of the Klingon race. The irony was their leader was actually a human named LoDuca.

Host Adm-Alexander says:
<CMO> *ADM*:  Admiral, this is Jovan.  The XO was to come by and let me see him, as I discovered from other crew that he was in his quarters.  You know how much he loves to be in sickbay.  Perhaps you might persuade him to see me?

XO_Worthington says:
TO/CEO: They had kidnapped a Starfleet Admiral's son for ransom and weapons to further their cause however that Admiral refused to negotiate with terrorists and left his son for dead. Luckily he was able to escape on a botched raid on a Romulan science station. It was there that LoDuca was believed killed. But he survived, like a cockroach.

Host Adm-Alexander says:
*CMO*:  Jovan ::smiling at him, although he can't see her::  The XO is with the CEO and TO at the moment.  When he returns to the bridge, I will ask him to see you.  You might be better calling him yourself.  But I will wish you luck!  Alexander out.

Host Adm-Alexander says:
~~~XO:  Thought I would warn you, Jovan is looking for you.~~~

TO_Ens_Holax says:
XO: That's terrible. I see why there is a lot of fear directed towards her name.

CEO_LtJG_Rome says:
::nods::

Host Adm-Alexander says:
<CMO> *XO*:  Sir, this is CMO Brabas... I would like for you to report to sickbay today.  Just a brief examination to make sure you are fit for duty.  This is a request, as I am sure you know I could make it otherwise.  What time can you be here?

CEO_LtJG_Rome says:
::shakes his head as he hears the Doc's request, hasn't gotten to like him all that much::

Host Adm-Alexander says:
::grinning to herself, she wonders how Trent will get out of not going to sickbay... she will have to make herself scarce or Jovan will make her get him there::

XO_Worthington says:
TO/CEO: After years in hiding he returned and attacked the Cherokee to get revenge. However the massive conspiracy was a rouse to distract us from stealing a Warbird with Reman cloak and weapon technology. The ship can fired while cloaked. So LoDuca could be out there anywhere. He could be sitting right of our side, laughing.

CEO_LtJG_Rome says:
::startled:: XO: Sir...I apologize, but why wasn't this information revealed to me earlier? I would have started working on detecting a cloaked vessel.

XO_Worthington says:
*CMO*: Sometime Doctor, trying to make sure that you don't have anymore patients for a while.

XO_Worthington says:
CEO/TO: Part of this info is classified. The rest should have been read by you once you joined the ship. Tactical briefings have most of the unclassified info.

Host Adm-Alexander says:
<CMO> *XO*:  I can make time for you, that is of course if you would prefer the rag instead to get you here.  ::grinning knowing that should get him down here::

TO_Ens_Holax says:
::shivers:: XO: what does this man want from us?

CEO_LtJG_Rome says:
*Engineering*: Ens. Williams, please start working on a way to detect Reman cloaks asap. And Ensign, keep this to yourself for now.

XO_Worthington says:
TO/CEO: His lust for revenge is very personal. When I escaped from him as a child I made him look bad. He will not rest until I am dead, for real this time.

Host Adm-Alexander says:
CSO:  You know, I never get tired of looking at the stars.  They are never the same, but yet they are.

TO_Ens_Holax says:
XO: I'm…sorry.

CEO_LtJG_Rome says:
<Ens_Williams> *CEO*: Yes sir, I will start immediately.

XO_Worthington says:
*CMO*: Doc, go use the rag on yourself. I will be there when I can. ::laughing::

Host Adm-Alexander says:
<CSO> Adm:  Yes, I understand.  I think that is why everyone on a starship joins.  The mystery and fascination of them never stops.

CEO_LtJG_Rome says:
::realizes that the Commander was the young Admiral's son that was kidnapped::

XO_Worthington says:
CEO/TO: He kidnapped me and had me altered and used a chip to control me and used against this ship. The man is far beyond sanity. And the scary part is he thinks he is the hero in all this.

CEO_LtJG_Rome says:
XO: Reminds me of a man called Praxton, back in the early days of Human space exploration, he was the leader of the Terra Prime.

XO_Worthington says:
CEO/TO: The bottom line is this. He could be anywhere, anytime. He could have his agents on this ship right now. We can not blink for a second or we may all perish. It is very important that we take this threat as seriously as possible.

Host Adm-Alexander says:
::with the retelling of the story of LoDuca and Diana, she feels again how close she came to losing Trent::

TO_Ens_Holax says:
XO: Well sir, I have assigned two constant patrols of two officers on each deck, as well as additional security to several stations, including your quarters.

CEO_LtJG_Rome says:
XO: understood sir, you can trust that I won't blink once.

CEO_LtJG_Rome says:
XO: I have repair teams standing by on all decks as well Sir.

XO_Worthington says:
CEO/TO: Let's head to engineering next. I want round the clock security there.

CEO_LtJG_Rome says:
XO: Aye sir.

TO_Ens_Holax says:
XO: All taken care of. There are two officers inside and two outside main engineering at all times.

XO_Worthington says:
TO/CEO: I also want the buddy system in order. No one travels alone.

Host Adm-Alexander says:
ACTION:  From the COM, the entire ship hears the next message.  WELL, LONG TIME NO SEE TRENT.  IT SEEMS YOU ARE GETTING SLOPPY.  MUST BE OLD AGE SETTING IN.  AND I GET A BONUS... LOOKS LIKE YOUR NOSY ADMIRAL IS ONBOARD.  I OWE HER ONE FOR SAVING YOUR WORTHLESS LIFE.  I WILL SEE YOU SOON.

CEO_LtJG_Rome says:
::nods::

TO_Ens_Holax says:
::jumps::

CEO_LtJG_Rome says:
::looks startled::

TO_Ens_Holax says:
::pulls out a phaser::

CEO_LtJG_Rome says:
*Engineering*: Engineering, locate the source of that transmission!

Host Adm-Alexander says:
::looking up from her chair, she hears the message then turns red::  OPS;  Dawn, find out where that is coming from, and I mean now...

CEO_LtJG_Rome says:
::runs over to the closest wall console::

Host Adm-Alexander says:
<Dawn> ADM:  On it now Admiral.  Kevin, help me out on this.  ::her hands begin flying across her console panel::

Host Adm-Alexander says:
*XO*:  Trent, where are you and did you hear a message?

CEO_LtJG_Rome says:
<Ens_Williams> *CEO*: Sir I was trying to scan for cloaked vessels, but we have nothing on this transmission. Sorry sir.

TO_Ens_Holax says:
::wonders:: Topica: I want a thorough search of the ship. I want everyone out of bed. Now ensign, hurry.

Host Adm-Alexander says:
<CSO> ADM:  I have the chip ready.  We will see if he is close.  ::tapping a few commands::  Somehow he got into the computer again.  This is a time delayed message.  I am activating the chip now.  ::waiting for the readings::

CEO_LtJG_Rome says:
*Ens_Williams*: No need to apologize James, just keep on it. Rome out.

Host Adm-Alexander says:
<Dawn> ADM:  I concur Admiral... it is a taped message in the computer and.... dang it, it is erasing itself!

CEO_LtJG_Rome says:
::reads the monitor:: Self: What?

XO_Worthington says:
*ADM*: Yes, ma'am. I am on my way.

XO_Worthington says:
TO/CEO: Let's get back to the bridge.

Host Adm-Alexander says:
aTO:  Take the ship to red alert now ensign.

CEO_LtJG_Rome says:
::nods to the XO and logs off the console::

TO_Ens_Holax says:
XO: Aye sir. ::Follows::

XO_Worthington says:
::heads for the TL::

CEO_LtJG_Rome says:
*Engineering*: I want a level 5 diagnostic of the Main Computer Core now! Send the results to my Bridge Station.

Host Adm-Alexander says:
<CSO> ADM:  He did it to us again... isolating the message so it doesn't spread anywhere else.  ::entering the instructions as fast as his fingers can touch the console::

TO_Ens_Holax says:
::runs to wall panel:: Computer: Ship to red alert, authorization Holax Alpha 13.

Host Adm-Alexander says:
ACTION:  The aTO initiates the red alert klaxons.

CEO_LtJG_Rome says:
::exits the TL behind the Commander::

XO_Worthington says:
::returns to the center chair:: Adm: Status report.

CEO_LtJG_Rome says:
::runs to his Console::

TO_Ens_Holax says:
::walks swiftly to Tactical::

Host Adm-Alexander says:
XO:  You have the bridge.  It was a taped message.  Kevin has isolated it in case there is a virus attached.  I thought it best to go to red alert.  ::standing she moves out of the Captain's chair::

XO_Worthington says:
TO: Active scanning. Give us something to follow.

TO_Ens_Holax says:
XO: Scanning…::taps consoles::

CEO_LtJG_Rome says:
XO: Sir! There is a small part of the message still intact in the computer core, but I...I have no idea how it got there.

TO_Ens_Holax says:
XO: Nothing yet..

XO_Worthington says:
CSO: Anything from your department?

CEO_LtJG_Rome says:
*Engineering*: James, send the Cloaking scan to the Tactical Station please.

CEO_LtJG_Rome says:
::smiles at the TO:: TO: Hope this helps.

Host Adm-Alexander says:
ACTION:  LoDuca is playing with them.  A torpedo is released with enough time for the Cherokee to evade.  But too far away for them to find his ship.

TO_Ens_Holax says:
::scans again::

XO_Worthington says:
TO: Return fire, wide range.

Host Adm-Alexander says:
<CSO> XO:  Looks like he is here  ::grabs the console as the FCO makes an evasive maneuver::

CEO_LtJG_Rome says:
::tries to trace the torpedo's trajectory backwards::

TO_Ens_Holax says:
Adm: Cycling phaser output.. firing phasers

Host Adm-Alexander says:
<CSO> XO: Sorry Trent, he is out of range.  The chip is picking up nothing.

CEO_LtJG_Rome says:
All: What chip?

Host Adm-Alexander says:
CEO:  The XO will explain.

CEO_LtJG_Rome says:
::grumbles something about him not receiving enough memos::

XO_Worthington says:
CEO: The mind control device.

Host Adm-Alexander says:
<CSO> CEO:  I reversed engineered it to let us know when LoDuca was around, but it has limited range, as you can see.

CEO_LtJG_Rome says:
CSO: Smart...who helped you? ::grins::

Host Adm-Alexander says:
XO:  Knowing him Trent, he is long gone.  
TO:  Did your phasers hit anything in the distance?

XO_Worthington says:
TO: Fire at random intervals, see if we can hit something to fire at.

TO_Ens_Holax says:
XO: Will do.

TO_Ens_Holax says:
::fires full spread::

XO_Worthington says:
Adm: Probably, but he came here for a reason. I wouldn't be surprised if he was picking up or dropping off.

CEO_LtJG_Rome says:
Adm: I would like to retrieve that torpedo if it didn't explode::

Host Adm-Alexander says:
::raises her eyebrows::  CEO:  What torpedo?  The one fired at us?  Why?

XO_Worthington says:
All: Just keep your guard up.

TO_Ens_Holax says:
::sneezes extremely loudly::

CEO_LtJG_Rome says:
Adm: It might tell us something, what ship it was fired from and perhaps something relevant in it's technology can help.

Host Adm-Alexander says:
ACTION:  The fired torpedoes hit nothing.

Host Adm-Alexander says:
CEO:  That is up to the XO...
