USS Cherokee 10604.30 The Chase Part 13

Host CO_Ayidee says:
Captain's Log, Stardate 10604.30.  We have recovered the Away Teams, although one of them has suffered injuries.  Our only lead is a stretch at best, a youth seen fleeing the scene of the bombing.  Whether he's involved or just wanted to avoid attention, we will soon find out.

Host Johnnie says:
<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<< Begin Mission >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>

Host Johnnie says:
MO_Juan:  Put me down you, you brute you! ::begins to squirm::

FCO_Lt_Hazzard says:
MO_Winters: I am being serious, let me outta this bed so I can get back to work.  And for goodness sakes, you could warm that thing up before you use it!!

OPS_Nash says:
@::en route back to the ship with the CSO::

Host XO_Worthington says:
::on the bridge, waiting for an update on the Admiral and FCO's conditions:: *CO*: Any update yet sir?

MO_Winters says:
FCO: Sir, The Doctor said you were to remain at bed rest until he was satisfied your condition could handle duty type activities.  And stop being such a baby.

Host CO_Ayidee says:
*XO*: Nothing yet, but I'll let you know as soon as we find something.

FCO_Lt_Hazzard says:
MO_Winters: Baby!!  Are you kidding me.  Who gave you your doctor's credentials, the Marquis De Sade?

CNS_Wells says:
::Outside Sickbay door:: CO: So, what's up with this boy? Why do we have him on board again?

Host CO_Ayidee says:
::Just outside Sickbay, waiting for Doctors to finish with the youth.::  CNS: What we have is either a witness or a suspect.  I'd like to believe he's just a witness, but we need to find out.

CEO_Bishara says:
:;sitting at her station looking amused::

CNS_Wells says:
CO: Witness to what? The bombing I heard about?

MO_Winters says:
FCO: Honestly, there's no reason to be so rude.  He'll be back in a few minutes.  Now just sit there and be a good little patient and I'll see about getting you a lollypop.

CNS_Wells says:
CO: You think he might have been responsible?

Host Johnnie says:
MO_Juan:  Let me go... I ain't done nuttin!

Host CO_Ayidee says:
CNS: Yes, he was running from the scene.  Whether that means he was responsible or whether it means he was just near by, we'll soon learn.

CEO_Bishara says:
::adjusts the power output to one of the dynoscanners::

CNS_Wells says:
CO: Okay, I'm ready, Sir.

FCO_Lt_Hazzard says:
MO_Winters: You just get that other doctor here so I can get out of this dang bathrobe!  And you know what you can do with that lolly pop...:: seems to think for a second. ::  Make it Grape.  :: pouts ::

Host MO_Juan says:
Johnnie:  Listen kid, you don't calm down, I am going to throw you in a tub and soak you until your skin falls off!  ::disgusted with the brat.::

Host CO_Ayidee says:
::Nods, then enters the room.::  Johnny: I hope you didn't mind the checks, but we have to be careful with the guests we bring aboard.  Lot's of diseases that are unique to certain worlds, and we need to protect ourselves.

Host Johnnie says:
MO_Juan:  Oh Yeah!  You just try it you bully!

CNS_Wells says:
::Enters after CO::

FCO_Lt_Hazzard says:
Self: Just wait till I get my hands on whoever put that fraggin concussion bomb there,  I know what I'd do with that lollypop then.

Host Johnnie says:
::he turns blazing eyes towards the CO.::  CO:  You got no right to bring me here!

Host Johnnie says:
ALL:  Ouch!  ::turning to look at the MO who just injected him::

FCO_Lt_Hazzard says:
Self: And sheesh, do they store those med sensors in the freezer?

Host CO_Ayidee says:
Johnnie: Perhaps, perhaps not.  But I do know that two of my friends were caught in a very suspicious explosion that you were running from almost immediately after.  Can you blame me for assuming you were involved?

OPS_Nash says:
@CSO:  I wonder how the Admiral and Hazzard are?

Host XO_Worthington says:
CEO: What is our status? Are we ready to go to warp if needed?

FCO_Lt_Hazzard says:
:: tries to pull down the hospital gown a little further. :: Self: Well at least no one else has seen me like this.

OPS_Nash says:
@<CSO>  OPS:  Knowing those two, probably get up and going before we know it.

Host Johnnie says:
CO:  Yeah right!  I ran, you stupid cat, because I just knew I was gonna be blamed for something I didn't do!

CEO_Bishara says:
::begins to run diagnostics on ships systems not immediately being used::

OPS_Nash says:
@CSO:  Yeah, I wonder if Hazzard is behaving himself.

CEO_Bishara says:
CO: Sir you have warp at your disposal sir.

FCO_Lt_Hazzard says:
:: reaches forward and grabs his comm badge from the table beside him. :: *CEO*: Hey DG, can you do me a favor?

CNS_Wells says:
JOHNNIE: Why were you at the establishment where the explosion occurred, if you don't mind my asking?

OPS_Nash says:
@<CSO>  OPS:  I seriously doubt it.  Though it would be a funny sight to see him in a hospital gown.

Host MO_Juan says:
CO:  Captain, I don't think this child has ever been inoculated for anything.  It is a wonder he is alive.

CEO_Bishara says:
*FCO*: How you feeling?

OPS_Nash says:
@CSO:  Yeah, I wonder if they come in pink?

OPS_Nash says:
@<CSO> ::chuckles::

CEO_Bishara says:
*FCO*: Sure, what is your pleasure?

Host CO_Ayidee says:
Johnnie: But you were so close, you must have seen who did.  It takes certain skills to survive on the streets, and those include an ability to see unusual things.  By the way, I'm Captain Hardin, and this is my associate Mister Garrison.

FCO_Lt_Hazzard says:
*CEO*: Like the Klingon Imperial Marching Band just used me as a door mat.  But other than that, Peachy with a side of keen.  Let whoever's running the helm know that I'll be up there in about two shakes of a cow's tail.

Host Johnnie says:
::looks at the Captain and wonders how much he can make from answering the question::  CO:  Well what's in it for me, if I answer ya?

Host CO_Ayidee says:
MO: People survived for centuries before the invention of vaccination.

CEO_Bishara says:
*FCO*: Are you sure about that ?

Host XO_Worthington says:
*CO*: Systems are go and all stations report ready. We can break orbit and go to warp whenever you are ready, sir.

Host CO_Ayidee says:
Johnnie: That depends on what you want.  Of course I could pay you, I have some credits  put away, including some of the Romulan variety that would be welcomed here.  But perhaps there are some other means we use to help you.

Host CO_Ayidee says:
*XO*: Excellent, any "word" among the local chatter that they're even looking at us wrong?

OPS_Nash says:
@::tries not to laugh too hard at the idea of Hazzard wearing a pink hospital gown::

CNS_Wells says:
JOHNNIE: You'll find us very grateful for your cooperation. We believe in rewarding cooperation.

FCO_Lt_Hazzard says:
*CEO*: Yeah I'm sure.  You think that Doctor is gonna be able to keep a young fit as a fiddle officer like me in some bed?  I mean, please!

Host XO_Worthington says:
*CO*: Not from what I can tell, I will have the com logs poured through again to be sure.

CEO_Bishara says:
::just pictures the FCO in a pink paper gown wearing his Stetson and his cowboy boots and tries like mad not to laugh out loud::

Host CO_Ayidee says:
Johnnie: How would you like a ticket off of this world?  Off of the streets, to go somewhere that you don't have to look for scraps of food to just survive.
FCO_Lt_Hazzard says:
*CEO* Are you giggling?  What’s so funny?

CEO_Bishara says:
*FCO*: Oh nothing really, just had a thought that is all.

FCO_Lt_Hazzard says:
:: sighs and lays back down on the bed. :: Self: I swear, the women around here are gonna be the death of me some day.

Host Johnnie says:
CO:  Are you crazy!  Where would someone like me go?  And how much you gonna pay me?

Host Johnnie says:
::looks the CNS up and down::

CEO_Bishara says:
Self: I got to tell OPS when she gets back here what I just saw in my mind.

Host CO_Ayidee says:
Johnnie: Some have said that I am.  But we can help you find a place.  For you and your father, your family, the ones you mentioned on the planet.

CNS_Wells says:
JOHNNIE: GO? The world has endless possibilities for someone your age.

Host Johnnie says:
CO:  Ah nuts!  I ain't go no family!  Just run errands and take a little now and again.

Host CO_Ayidee says:
::Pulls out a pocket full of credit chips.::  Johnnie: If you need something more "now", then we can start with these.  But the original offer stands.

MO_Winters says:
FCO: Okay now Lieutenant, just one last series of medical tests to make sure you are ready for duty. :: grins as she holds up a series of hypos that she retrieved from the medical cooler, unable to resist. ::

FCO_Lt_Hazzard says:
:: eyes go wide as he rolls off the bed...keeping it between him and the nurse. :: MO: I swear...you keep those things away from me.

Host Johnnie says:
::looks into the Cait's paw and sees more money than he would earn in a month::  CO:  Ah go on now... you think I believe you are going to give me that money then take me somewhere?  Are you a slaver? ::glares at him::

MO_Winters says:
FCO: Oh, now you behave for goodness sakes.  You’re gonna re-injure yourself with all that jumpin’ about. :: stops complaining and starts to giggle. ::

CNS_Wells says:
::Smiles at the kids silly thought::

FCO_Lt_Hazzard says:
:: Backs away towards the door.  Strangely feeling a draft. ::

Host CO_Ayidee says:
Johnnie: No, never.  I've been on the other side of that and I'd sooner shoot myself than to take up their trade.  If we can't work out a deal, then you are completely free to go.  With these.  ::Drops the coins on the bed beside the boy.::

FCO_Lt_Hazzard says:
:: turns around to see the majority of the duty shift nurses has gathered at the door, laughing louder now.  Reaches behind to find that his hospital gown has opened, leaving his bare assets out in the open. Blushes a deep red as he backs against a wall.:: Med Staff: Now, now ladies, nothing to see here.  You just move on along.

Host Johnnie says:
::he slowly reaches down to touch the credits, then looks up to see if they are going to be taken away from him::  CO:  Well, I might know something... what do you want to know?

Host CO_Ayidee says:
Johnnie: To start with, did you see who planted that bomb?

Host XO_Worthington says:
::runs scans on the surrounding area, looking for any sign of other ships::

MO_Winters says:
FCO: Well I don't know about "nothing". I guess it really is true what they say about everything from Texas. :: Starts to laugh uncontrollably.::

OPS_Nash says:
@*Serenity*:  This the Goddess Chariot, requesting permission to dock.

FCO_Lt_Hazzard says:
:: his eyes go wide again as he covers himself.  Apparently the gown is a bit...short.::  Self: Jeez, ladies.  Who had this gown last, a midget?  Can ya get me something a bit longer...like a WASHCLOTH maybe?

Host Johnnie says:
::ponders the question::  CO:  Well, you promise you will take me somewhere else, cause if I tell you, they will hunt me down like a dirty rat, then kill me.

CNS_Wells says:
JOHNNIE: Who will hunt you down and kill you?

MO_Winters says:
FCO: Just get back into your bed, Lieutenant, and I promise, no one will speak a word about your...bare necessities.

Host CO_Ayidee says:
::Smiles a bit.::  Johnnie: They can't reach you here.  And we...I will do all in my power to make sure you not only disappear from their view, but that they won't know what you told of.

Host Johnnie says:
::gathering the coins from the bed::  CNS:  The people who tossed that grenade into the restaurant.

CNS_Wells says:
::Looks at CO::

FCO_Lt_Hazzard says:
:: makes a dash for the bed, covering himself with the blanket. :: MO: You’re an evil, evil, evil woman.

CEO_Bishara says:
::adjusts the power flow to number two plasma relay::

CNS_Wells says:
JOHNNIE: So, you can identify these people?

Host Johnnie says:
CNS:  I know one name... it is a name that if you say it will get you dead.

Host CO_Ayidee says:
CNS: I think we both have a guess as to the answer.  That group that's been hounding  us all these months.

MO_Winters says:
FCO: I know.  I majored in Medical at the Academy, but I took evil as an elective study.  Its a gift. :: presses the cold hypo against his side and gives him another shot.::

Host CO_Ayidee says:
Johnnie: OK, then I'll say it, and the death will look for me.  Is it LoDuca, or is it Smith?

Host Johnnie says:
::the little boy turns white as his eyes get big, then he ducks his head::  CO:  If they are after you, then you are one dead Cat!

CNS_Wells says:
::Looks at Johnnie:: JOHNNIE: We know of these people. 

FCO_Lt_Hazzard says:
Self: There is just no way.  No way in heck this could get any worse.

OPS_Nash says:
@::suddenly feels a chill down her spine::

Host XO_Worthington says:
::waits patiently for any news, scanning the surrounding space::

Host CO_Ayidee says:
Johnnie: I've been on their list for some time.  They have been looking for us for some time, and they've missed on more than one occasion.  You see, we have some powerful friends as well.

OPS_Nash says:
@<CSO>  ::sees his wife shudder::  OPS:  You all right?

Host Johnnie says:
ACTION:  Coming up behind the Serenity another ship makes an appearance.  The proximity alert goes off.

MO_Winters says:
FCO: Oh yes there is.  Lt. Commander Nash is a good friend of one of my friends...and I'm sure she'd like the image recording from just now.  :: Grins and hands the FCO a grape lollypop.

FCO_Lt_Hazzard says:
MO: You...wouldn't...dare!

OPS_Nash says:
@CSO:  I'm not sure, I just feeling like someone just walked over my grave.

CNS_Wells says:
JOHNNIE: They were on Dorian IV, weren't they? How long have they been there? We believe them to be responsible for the condition of the economy there.

CEO_Bishara says:
Self: Hello, some one is at the back door.

Host XO_Worthington says:
::sees the ship on sensors, trying to ascertain who they are:: *CO*: Sir, look like we may have company.

Host Johnnie says:
CO:  You can't outrun them for long.  I have seen what they can do.

MO_Winters says:
FCO: Try me.  Evil, its not just a job, its pretty darn fun. :: walks off laughing as only women with blackmail on men do. ::

CEO_Bishara says:
XO: Some one is knocking at our back door.

Host Johnnie says:
::nods his head::  CNS:  Yes, all trade goes through them.

FCO_Lt_Hazzard says:
Self:: I really, really hate being in Sickbay.

Host XO_Worthington says:
CEO: Prepare for a rude greeting.

CEO_Bishara says:
XO: You got it.

Host CO_Ayidee says:
Johnnie: Yes, so have I.  And we're going to make sure they can't run for long.  
*XO*: Is the Chariot aboard?

CEO_Bishara says:
::keys in the commands for all security and defense systems to be online and in standby mode::

CNS_Wells says:
JOHNNIE: Do you know where they operate out of? Where they’re using as a home base, on the planet?

Host Johnnie says:
CO:  See!  I told ya!  They have found me!

Host XO_Worthington says:
COM: Chariot: Dock immediately. CEO: Raise shields one they are clear.

CEO_Bishara says:
XO: Sir could our guest have a homing beacon on him?

Host Johnnie says:
CNS:  I ain't saying nuttin more!

CEO_Bishara says:
XO Understood.  Could explain how they found us so fast.

Host CO_Ayidee says:
::Smiles.::  Johnnie: That doesn't necessarily come to pass.  But if you feel safer waiting, then we can continue this once we figure out who this is.

Host XO_Worthington says:
CEO: Perhaps we have been setup. Didn't the Captain bring someone back with him?

OPS_Nash says:
@*Serenity*:  On our way.  ::pilots the shuttle into the shuttle bay::

Host CO_Ayidee says:
CNS: See if you can get Johnnie a room and someone to keep an eye on him until we get to a safe port.  Once that's done, then join me on the Bridge.

CNS_Wells says:
JOHNNIE: Why not? We have offered you protection and a new life. You are good to go. Wouldn't you like to help bring down the bad guys?

CEO_Bishara says:
XO: Yes he did sir a young child.

CNS_Wells says:
CO: Yes, Sir.

Host Johnnie says:
CNS:  Do I look like I want to commit suicide?

CEO_Bishara says:
XO: Chariot is aboard and shields are raised.

CEO_Bishara says:
XO: Sir, yellow alert?

Host CO_Ayidee says:
Johnnie: It's not suicide.  He just doesn't let stories of those who escape him spread around much.  But it's happened a few times.

CNS_Wells says:
JOHNNIE: Come on, lets get you a room. After a good meal and a shower you may be more relaxed to talk more.

OPS_Nash says:
::she breathes a sigh of relief once the shuttle in safely on board::  *CO/XO*:  We are aboard. Sir.

Host CO_Ayidee says:
CNS: And once this latest "guest" is dealt with, I'm sure he'll be more safe feeling.

Host XO_Worthington says:
CEO: Aye. *CO*: The Chariot is safely on board and I have taken us to yellow alert.

Host Johnnie says:
CNS:  Shower, as in getting wet all over?  No way!!!  But now I am hungry! ::grins::

CNS_Wells says:
CO: Agreed.

MO_Winters says:
::chuckles as she sends a copy of what is titled "Sleepless in Sickbay" to the OPS's private message console.  The other nurses continue to giggle as they go about there business.  Leaving a very disgruntled and embarrassed FCO to pout on his medical bed. ::

Host CO_Ayidee says:
*OPS/ XO*: Very good, I'm on my way to the Bridge.  Any ID on the ship?  ::Smiles at Johnnie, watching the way he clutches the credits as I depart.::

CNS_Wells says:
JOHNNIE: Got you covered...we have sonic showers....next excuse, young man? ::Smiles at him hoping he will lighten up::

CEO_Bishara says:
*OPS*: Once you are up on the bridge I got to tell you something very funny.

OPS_Nash says:
*CEO*:  Can't wait.  Be there soon.

Host CO_Ayidee says:
::Enters Turbolift.::  Turbolift: Bridge.

Host Johnnie says:
CNS:  Well, can I have something sweet?  I have heard of something called creamed ice?  I know that can't be true... ::hoping::

CNS_Wells says:
::Leads Johnnie out the door::

OPS_Nash says:
::exits the shuttle and heads for the bridge with the CSO in tow::

CNS_Wells says:
*OPS*: Wells to Commander Nash.

CEO_Bishara says:
XO: Shouldn't you let the CO know that maybe the kid he has might have a homing beacon imbedded somewhere on him?

OPS_Nash says:
*CNS*:  Yes Counselor?

CNS_Wells says:
*OPS*: Ma'am, I need quarters assignment for our young guest. you got an empty room for him?

CEO_Bishara says:
XO: Why Else would they find us so fast?

Host Johnnie says:
CNS:  You mean I get a room all to myself?

OPS_Nash says:
*CNS*: Not sure, I need to research that.

CNS_Wells says:
*OPS*: Okay I'll take him to the galley in the mean time.

OPS_Nash says:
*CNS*: All right.

Host XO_Worthington says:
CEO: Let's not jump to conclusions, we have no reason to think they are hostile, just being cautious. The Captain should be here shortly.

Host CO_Ayidee says:
::Exits the TL onto the Bridge.::  XO: Any update on who we have coming at us yet?

MO_Winters says:
:: suddenly has another idea, sending a duplicate copy to both the CEO and Lt. Tiernan, remembering a conversation they had a few days ago.  This was something that just HAD to be shared.  She finishes sending the copies as the MO_Summers arrives in Sickbay. ::

CNS_Wells says:
JOHNNIE: Captain Hardin told you he'd treat you right, didn't he. He is an honorable Cait. You hungry?

CEO_Bishara says:
XO: Understood.  I agree there.  Nothing yet so far on what or who is knocking at the back door.

OPS_Nash says:
::the Turbolift stops at the bridge and she steps off onto the bridge with the CSO in tow::

Host Johnnie says:
CNS: Yes I am, so I guess there is no such thing as creamed ice?

CEO_Bishara says:
::turns and nods to OPS::

MO_Summers says:
FCO: Well, all we need to do is just go over the last series of test results, but I'm sure we can have you out of here in a few minutes.

OPS_Nash says:
::nods to the CEO::

Host XO_Worthington says:
CO: No sir, but the CEO and I believe your little friend may have led them here.

CNS_Wells says:
JOHNNIE: Ice cream? Again, got you covered ::Thinks - Thank god for Replicators::

FCO_Lt_Hazzard says:
MO_Summers: Where were you ten minutes ago?  These women should be tried as war criminals.

CEO_Bishara says:
::then sees that she has an incoming video Feed::

Host Johnnie says:
CNS:  Really?  Honest?  You are lying to me?

CEO_Bishara says:
OPS: You got to hear this.

CNS_Wells says:
JOHNNIE: I recommend a coffee ice cream sundae with hot fudge.

MO_Summers says:
FCO: You think I'm gonna speak up and have them turn on me, junior? Heh...I'm a doctor, Mark. Not a Masochist.

OPS_Nash says:
CEO:  Oh really?

Host CO_Ayidee says:
XO: That's possible, but I don't get that impression.  More likely it's just the "actions" on the planet drew attention, and process of elimination led them to us.

Host Johnnie says:
CNS:  Do you think I could have real meat?  I have heard about it but never had any.

CEO_Bishara says:
::gets up and walks over to her::

CNS_Wells says:
*PAT*: Yeoman Pat to the galley, please.

FCO_Lt_Hazzard says:
MO_Summers: So am I ready to go back on duty or what?

CEO_Bishara says:
OPS: While you were gone, I had the wildest picture enter my head.

CNS_Wells says:
JOHNNIE: We have a well stocked galley. I'm sure we will find you something.

Host CO_Ayidee says:
<Pat> *CNS*: Aye Sir, on my way.  ::Stands and waddles down to the Galley.::

Host XO_Worthington says:
CO: Perhaps but I am just bringing up that possibility, how much do you know about your guest?

OPS_Nash says:
CEO:  Do tell.

CNS_Wells says:
JOHNNIE: Meat? Hmmm probably no steak, we have a cow hog on board, but we'll see what we can do.

Host CO_Ayidee says:
XO: I understand, and it's still a possibility.  All I know is he's a street kid, and he's afraid of LoDuca, as most in this sector likely are.

MO_Summers says:
*CO*: Captain, you wanted to know when Lt. Hazzard was fit for duty again.  Just letting you know I see no reason to keep him here any longer.

CEO_Bishara says:
OPS: I caught a picture of Cowboy in a Pink paper gown with the back side open flapping in the air and to be honest I couldn't stop laughing.  It was so funny.

Host CO_Ayidee says:
*CMO*: Excellent, then send him up to the Bridge when he's ready.  We may have company.

OPS_Nash says:
::starts laughing::   CEO: You're kidding, I had a strange thought about that very thing.

Host Johnnie says:
CNS:  You know we are gonna wind up dead... those "two" are past mean... one is crazy and the other one is evil.

Host CO_Ayidee says:
<Pat>  ::Enters the Galley.::  CNS: You wanted to see me, Sir?

CEO_Bishara says:
::nods at OPS:: OPS: I can't stop seeing it in my head.

CNS_Wells says:
::Arrives in galley with Johnnie:: JOHNNIE: Find a seat. I got someone coming to show you around and get you settled. We will get you a room soon.

FCO_Lt_Hazzard says:
*CO*: Captain, if I ever get injured again, just leave me there.  It'd be more humane.  I'm on my way. :: gets out of the bed and goes immediately to put his uniform on, not listening to the laughter as his aft is left without shielding. ::

Host Johnnie says:
CNS:  Uh-uh, no way!  I ain't gonna stay with that ::gulps:: whatever it is!  ::turns white::

OPS_Nash says:
::still laughs::  CEO:  We'll catch up more on this later.

CNS_Wells says:
PAT: Yes, umm Pat, Captain would like you to assist our young friend here? ::Motions to the boy:: PAT: Get him fed, whatever he wants, Commander Nash is assigning him quarters. Follow through on that, please?

CNS_Wells says:
JOHNNIS: Don't be rude.

CEO_Bishara says:
OPS: Oh and I have  video feed from sickbay too that the MO thought it nice to send me.  I will send it to you.

Host Johnnie says:
::looks at the CNS and then at Pat and takes off running::

OPS_Nash says:
CEO:  Excellent, I can't wait to see it.

CEO_Bishara says:
OPS: Me either ::still laughing::

Host CO_Ayidee says:
<Pat> Johnnie: I'm Pat, new recruit?  OK, guessing he never saw a Tellarite.

CNS_Wells says:
::Catches up to the kid and holds him:: JOHNNIE: Hold it buster.

FCO_Lt_Hazzard says:
:: quickly gets into uniform...straightening the top as he walks out of sickbay, immediately feeling better as he begins to make his way to the bridge. ::

CNS_Wells says:
JOHNNIE: Don’t you think you've done enough running.

Host Johnnie says:
ACTION:  The ship behind the Serenity moves out of orbit around it, then goes to warp.  The Serenity is caught in the after effects and begins to rock violently.

CEO_Bishara says:
ALL: Warp wash grab something.

Host CO_Ayidee says:
*FCO*: Sorry, we don't leave folk's behind.  We'll try and make better arrangements next...  ::Nearly looses balance.::

OPS_Nash says:
::braces::

CEO_Bishara says:
::her hands fly to stabilize the rocking ship::

Host Johnnie says:
::begins to squirm, then gets loose...::

CEO_Bishara says:
Self: Now that wasn't nice to do at all.

Host CO_Ayidee says:
Tactical: Track that ship as best you can.

FCO_Lt_Hazzard says:
:: braces himself against the bulkhead as he struggles to maintain his footing. :: Self: Who the bloody blue blazes is piloting this crate?  :: moves faster to the TL ::

CNS_Wells says:
JOHNNIE: Aww, please don’t make me call security. Those Tactical people get so unpleasant.

Host XO_Worthington says:
::grabs his armrest::

CNS_Wells says:
JOHNNIE: Sit, I'll get your ice cream.

FCO_Lt_Hazzard says:
:: enters the TL and sets it to the bridge. ::

Host Johnnie says:
ACTION:  The boy opens a Jeffries Tube and is gone before the CNS can catch him.

CEO_Bishara says:
::struggles to get the ship back on an even keel::

CNS_Wells says:
SELF: Damn!

Host CO_Ayidee says:
OPS: See if you can get us clearance to depart.  
All: Once we're given clearance, take us out at normal speed until we clear local sensors, then if we can still track that ship, we'll give true pursuit.

OPS_Nash says:
CO:  Aye.

CNS_Wells says:
*CO*: Captain? The kid was freaked out by Pat and took off. Sorry, I lost him. You wanna involve security?

Host CO_Ayidee says:
CNS: Definitely.  Until we know for sure, I don't want him to have free roam of the ship.

FCO_Lt_Hazzard says:
:: Enters the bridge and looks to the Captain. :: CO: Captain, Lt Hazzard requesting permission to resume my post.

CEO_Bishara says:
::looks up and sees the FCO and can barely hide her face from laughter::

FCO_Lt_Hazzard says:
:: glares at the CEO ::

OPS_Nash says:
COM: Planetary Traffic Control:  This is the Serenity requesting permission to depart.

Host CO_Ayidee says:
FCO: Granted, Tactical is tracking a ship, prepare a pursuit course once we're clear to depart.  Keep speed "Civilian" until we clear local sensors.

FCO_Lt_Hazzard says:
CO: Aye sir.

CNS_Wells says:
*SECURITY*: Wells to security. We got a boy loose in the Jeffries tubes. Please locate and detain. Do not use unnecessary force.

Host Johnnie says:
#COM: Serenity:  Hold for 15 minutes,  Two other freighters ahead of you.

CEO_Bishara says:
FCO: Nice to see you at your station sir.  ::smiles::

OPS_Nash says:
COM: Planetary Traffic Control:  Acknowledged.

CEO_Bishara says:
CO: Sir I can isolate the kid by the internal scans.

FCO_Lt_Hazzard says:
:: walks over to the helm and gestures to the officer there to vacate his seat.  Readjusting the console to his liking, he spares a glance to the CEO. :: CEO: Yeah, I think you'll be seeing more of me than I'd care for.

OPS_Nash says:
CO:  They have two others ahead of us, it will be 15 minutes.

CNS_Wells says:
<SECURITY>: *CNS*: Aye, Sir.

CEO_Bishara says:
FCO: Really?  Why is that Lieutenant Hazzard?

Host CO_Ayidee says:
XO: That's the problem with being under "Civilian" guidelines.  Fifteen Minute head start will be hard to overcome.

FCO_Lt_Hazzard says:
:: taps a few sequences into his console. :: CEO: Oh...I just know how my luck is holding up on this ship.

Host CO_Ayidee says:
CEO: Work with the Counselor then.

CEO_Bishara says:
CO: Aye sir.

CEO_Bishara says:
*CNS*: Sir, I may be able to locate the kid for you.

CNS_Wells says:
PAT: Stay here, he'll be back, if the Captain don't want him in the brig, that is.

Host XO_Worthington says:
CO: Aye sir, maybe it was nothing other than a disenchanted trader.

FCO_Lt_Hazzard says:
CO: Captain, pursuit course laid in.  I can give ya a little more than Warp 4 if I simulate some venting of the nacelles, no harm to us, but I can pump speed up to Warp 4.6.  That is if Engineering can handle the gimmicking.

CNS_Wells says:
*CEO*: That would be great.  I'm on my way to the bridge.  ::Exits Galley::

Host CO_Ayidee says:
FCO: If needed, we could "undo" the modifications, but with that head start, it likely won't work anyhow.

CEO_Bishara says:
::hands fly over the console and institutes the internal sensors and keys in for the child’s DNA patterns::

CEO_Bishara says:
*CNS*: Understood sir.

Host Johnnie says:
::knows that Pig person must be after him as the Pig Person was on the planet::

CEO_Bishara says:
::is narrowing down the possibilities as she takes out known DNA patterns::
