Host CO_Ayidee says:
Ship's Log, Stardate 11002.21, Captain Ayidee recording.  We have eliminated the intruder threat, and now have an opportunity to make contact with a barely known race.  Count Winter's entourage is expected to arrive any time.

<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<< Begin Mission >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>

Host CO_Ayidee says:
::Exiting Jeffries Tubes shaft, nodding to the Medical teams taking the intruder's body to autopsy.::

CNS_aXO_Wells says:
::On the bridge happy the Romulans ran away::

OPS_Cmdr_Nash says:
::at OPS on bridge::

Host SM-Trish says:
@<Sedwick> COM: Cherokee:  This is Count Winters ship.  He is ready to be beamed over from these coordinates.

Host CO_Ayidee says:
::Makes for the Bridge after signing off the handover.::

CTO_Worthington says:
#::on the U.S.S. Mayflower, after having been picked up in space. The runabout had lost power and was brought into the Shuttlebay. Trent work quickly to ascertain the ship's system failures.::

CEO_LtCmdr_On says:
::at Engineering preparing a team to be in surface again::

FCO_Lt_Zdunowski says:
::At the bridge. Behind his console, slowly bringing the ship out of the atmosphere, back in to standard orbit.::

OPS_Cmdr_Nash says:
COM: Sedwick:  We are ready to receive.

CNS_aXO_Wells says:
OPS: Someone needs to greet the Count.  Volunteers?

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

Host SM-Trish <Sedwick> @COM: Cherokee:  Beaming now Cherokee. (Transporter.wav)

Count_Winters says:
::Rematerializes in the Cherokee's transporter room.  Looks around waiting to be greeted::

OPS_Cmdr_Nash says:
CNS:  I'm sending Jarod.  I hear he was the key to proving what really happened to Miss Winters.

CTO_Worthington says:
#*Mayflower CO*: Sir, I am unable to find the source of the failures as yet. By order of Starfleet Command I need you to set course for the U.S.S. Cherokee. I have the appropriate documents in order.

Host CO_Ayidee says:
<Security> Count: Welcome aboard, Count.  Our Command staff is on the way, if you can just hold a few seconds.

CEO_LtCmdr_On says:
*FCO*: I am gathering a team of Engineers in order to get supplies to the surface and I need you to assist me?

Host CO_Ayidee says:
*OPS*: Where is Count Winters expected to arrive?

Count_Winters says:
::Arrives with another man, carrying a medical case.  Sees the security man::  Security: Don't tell me you are the Captain?

CTO_Worthington says:
#< Mayflower CO>*CTO*: I am aware of your authority here Mr. Worthington, we will set course for the Cherokee immediately.

OPS_Cmdr_Nash says:
<Jarod>  ::running to greet the Count to see he was greeted by Security::  Count:  My apologies for being late.  I've been assigned as your escort.

FCO_Lt_Zdunowski says:
*CEO*: Commander. You want me to help you get supplies back to the planet? At this moment, I am bringing this ship into standard orbit, but I am sure I can convince Farsy to help you and shuttle you down. Did you already receive the order?

Host CO_Ayidee says:
<Security> Count: No Sir, they are on their way.  They just finished with an emergency threat and will be here shortly.

CTO_Worthington says:
#* Mayflower CO*: Thank you, sir. I will be here until we arrive.

Count_Winters says:
::Exchanges disapproving look with his colleague:: Security:  I see.  When can I be taken to my daughter?

OPS_Cmdr_Nash says:
<Jarod>  Count:  My name is Crewman Jarod Taylor.

FCO_Lt_Zdunowski says:
::Reaches standard orbit.:: aXO: Commander... We have reached standard orbit.

Count_Winters says:
Jarod: You will take me to my daughter, then?

OPS_Cmdr_Nash says:
*CO*:  The Count has been beamed to the Main Transporter.  I assume the first stop he would want tot make is to see his daughter.  I have told Jarod to take him to Sickbay.

CNS_aXO_Wells says:
FCO: Very good, Lieutenant.  Let's start thinking about getting back to our mission.  Are the shuttles ready to go?

CTO_Worthington says:
#::returns to working on the runabout, not looking forward to rendezvous with the Cherokee.::

OPS_Cmdr_Nash says:
<Jarod>  Count:  Right this way.  ::points the way to head to Sickbay.::

Host CO_Ayidee says:
*OPS*: Understood, I'm headed to meet him.  ::Redirects the Turbolift.::

Count_Winters says:
::Follows the man in the gold uniform::

FCO_Lt_Zdunowski says:
aXO: You can bet on it. Our Engineer already asked to shuttle things down to the planet.

CNS_aXO_Wells says:
FCO: Good.  We will resume once, the Count has been dealt with.

Host CO_Ayidee says:
::Exits the Turbolift and moves quickly to rendezvous with the Count.::

CEO_LtCmdr_On says:
*FCO*: As soon as you get to standard orbit, I have my orders to get back to the planet with a team of engineers and they will help me with the supplies.

Count_Winters says:
Dr. Fernando:  Once we get to this ship's Sickbay, work with their staff to treat my daughter.  You have everything you need for the antidote?

FCO_Lt_Zdunowski says:
aXO: I will let Farcy load the shuttles and pilot one down himself with the CEO. He is eager to go.

Count_Winters says:
<Dr. Fernando>: Count: Yes, Count.  All the ingredient we need are in this little case.  ::Taps his medical supplies::

Host CO_Ayidee says:
::Catches up to Jarod and the Count.::  Count: Count Winters, I apologize for the delay.  I am Captain Ayidee, Commander of the vessel.

FCO_Lt_Zdunowski says:
*Farcy*: Farcy, can you load all shuttles again, with all materials needed for planet mission? I guess, you still have that list. The CEO will call in early.

Count_Winters says:
::Sees the Captain:: CO: Ah, yes, Captain.  I should thank you for your assistance in this unpleasant matter.

FCO_Lt_Zdunowski says:
<Farcy>*FCO*: Lieutenant, Aye sir. I still have the list. We are on our way.

FCO_Lt_Zdunowski says:
*CEO*: Farcy just got the order, to load the shuttles again. You can meet him and await the order to go down. If I am not there, Farcy will shuttle you down.

Host CO_Ayidee says:
Count: I wish we had the opportunity to meet under more pleasant circumstances.  It seems we have encountered a common foe.

Count_Winters says:
::Introduces his physician::  CO: This is Doctor Fernando, I suspect he can work in cooperation with your medical staff?

CEO_LtCmdr_On says:
*FCO*: All right, Lieutenant.  :: leaves engineering with a team to shuttle bay ::

Host CO_Ayidee says:
Count: Of course.  In this case we will do all we can to assist you.  But we need to determine if the threat to your daughter and the ship are no longer in danger.

Count_Winters says:
CO: My ex-wife, you mean.  Yes, once we found out about her dealings with these Romulan lowlife, she was arrested.  It was then when we discovered she wasn't even Vareilian but, some shape shifting monster.  I'm afraid we let her escape.

CTO_Worthington says:
#::all diagnostics check out on the runabout but she cannot sustain power by herself. Frustrated and now the inevitability of his mission begins to sink in. He wonders how much the Cherokee has changed since he was last there::

Count_Winters says:
CO: She was working alone with them.  I take it she left with them?

FCO_Lt_Zdunowski says:
aXO: I have ordered Farcy to load the shuttles again. I guess that Mister On is already on his way to the Shuttlebay. Did he got the order already? ::Smiles.::

Host CO_Ayidee says:
Count: Yes, she made her way here and caused a good deal of trouble until we were able to identify her.  We had her cornered in a shaft, but she tried to press an ill advised attack and fell to her death, I'm afraid.

Count_Winters says:
CO: So, she's deceased, is she?  Cursed creature.  We're all better off.  Now, about my daughter?

Host CO_Ayidee says:
Count: She's right ahead.  Our Doctors could not identify the poison that was infecting her, so they put her in stasis.

Count_Winters says:
::Enters their Sickbay following CO and Jarod::

CTO_Worthington says:
#<Mayflower CO>*CTO*: Mr. Worthington, we should be approaching the Cherokee soon. Once we arrive, will you be free to navigate your vessel?

Host CO_Ayidee says:
::Escorts the Count into Sickbay.::

MO_Jones says:
::sees the crew arrive in sickbay::

ACTION:  The body of Whitney Winters looks as if she is dead, but her vitals are low.

Count_Winters says:
CO: My family physician has the items needed to prepare an antidote.  Your Counselor has given us the medical records already.

CTO_Worthington says:
#*CO*: Negative sir. Looks like I have been sabotaged. Please destroy this vessel and stand by for transport.

Count_Winters says:
<Doctor Fernando>: MO_Jones: Bring the girl out of stasis please.

Host CO_Ayidee says:
MO: Doctor, this is Count Winters and his physician.  Assist him in any treatment needed to help Miss Winters.

OPS_Cmdr_Nash says:
<Jarod>  ::follows the Count and CO into Sickbay::

MO_Jones says:
::checking the vitals on the stasis chamber::
CO: Aye sir. We will do what we can.
Doctor: I would advise against that, she won't last long.

Count_Winters says:
<Fernando>: MO: I have the ingredients for the antidote.  It is all spelled out in this data chip.  I'm sure you will have no problem producing the formula.

Host CO_Ayidee says:
Fernando: Would it be better to prepare the antidote before removing her from stasis?
MO_Jones says:
::takes the data chip and inspects it on his Tricorder:: Fernando: I am sorry but we do not have some of these ingredients nor can we replicate them.

ACTION:  The USS Mayflower beams CTO Worthington aboard his ship, then destroys the runabout as ordered.

Count_Winters says:
CO: I hope no damages were done to you or your ship, Captain.  Although the people of Variel are a private people, your actions will go along way in possibly establishing a relationship with your Federation.

CTO_Worthington says:
#::beamed directly from the shuttle bay, he arrives and steps off the pad::

Count_Winters says:
<Fernando>: CO: With this data chip and a Replicator, you can have it ready by the time she's fully thawed.

Host CO_Ayidee says:
Count: Nothing serious.  And it is always our hopes to build friendly relations with other peoples.

Count_Winters says:
<Fernando>: MO: I have the ingredients you need here. ::Hand MO the case::

Host CO_Ayidee says:
MO: Is it something we're capable of producing?

MO_Jones says:
::takes the case from the doctor:: Fernando: I will begin the awakening process while we work on the antidote. Obviously I don't have to tell you about the risks involved?
CO: Honestly I am not sure, sir. But we will try our best.

Count_Winters says:
<Fernando>: MO: Replicate according to formula on data chip then, we will add these ingredients I brought with me.

Host CO_Ayidee says:
Count: Your ex wife, do you have any idea what her connection to the Romulan Empire was?

MO_Jones says:
::motions to the nurse for a Hypospray and administers it to the girl:: Fernando: This should not take very long. :: begins to work on the new antidote::

ACTION:  Whitney vital signs begin to rise,

Count_Winters says:
CO: Many on my planet have heard of the great Federation, some are ready for reaching out while others, I'm afraid, are not.  Maybe someday.  Of course, meeting up with these Romulans may have set things back centons.

Host CO_Ayidee says:
Count: One of our most important rules is we will not force our will upon another people, or interfere with their natural progression.  We wish for good relations, but we will let you set the pace of contact.

Count_Winters says:
::Looks on with interest, to see daughters progress::  CO: She was over her head with them, she thought herself important, they were just using her to gain conquest of Variel.

MO_Jones says:
::works on creating the ingredients:: Fernando: Should have the base ready soon. Do you have the other ingredients?

Host WhitneyWinters says:
<USS Mayflower>  $COM: Cherokee:  We have two passengers for your ship.  We should arrive in 15 minutes.

Count_Winters says:
CO: Perhaps, with what has happened, perhaps some good will come from it for both our people.  I shall continue to try to convince my colleagues of the benefits of the Federation.

CTO_Worthington says:
#::remains in the TR, waiting for arrival at the Cherokee and minimizing his contact with the Mayflower crew.::

OPS_Cmdr_Nash says:
COM:  Mayflower:  Understood.
XO/CNS:  The Mayflower is en route with 2 passengers for us.  They should be arriving in 15 minutes.

Count_Winters says:
<Fernando>: MO: Here we go.  ::Looks over MO's work and adds ingredients::  Now, let's run that through a liquefier and we shall put it into a hypo, if you have one handy.

Host CO_Ayidee says:
Count: I hope we can come to more friendly, open relations.  The Federation was built on accepting others.

CNS_aXO_Wells says:
OPS: Two?  I hope one of them is the Governess my mom hired for ZG.

MO_Jones says:
::hands him the hypo:: Fernando: This should just take a moment. ::runs the formula through the liquefier::

OPS_Cmdr_Nash says:
CNS:  Could be, but who is the other one?

CTO_Worthington says:
#*CO*: Once we rendezvous with the Cherokee I will be beamed directly to the bridge, understood?

CNS_aXO_Wells says:
OPS: I have no clue.  They don't tell me anything.

OPS_Cmdr_Nash says:
CNS:  Same here.  The saying is true, it gets lonely the higher you get to the top.

MO_Jones says:
::as the formula finishes he checks the patients vitals again:: Fernando: She should be around soon. If this does not work...

ACTION:  The antidote is ready to be administered to Whitney Winters.

Host WhitneyWinters says:
::fluttering her eyelids, she tries to open her eyes::

CTO_Worthington says:
#<Mayflower CO> *CTO*: understood.

Count_Winters says:
CO: I wish they'd hurry.  My poor little Whitney.  I can't believe her stepmother tried to have her killed just because I exiled her.  In my father's day she'd have been beheaded.

MO_Jones says:
::finishes the formula and prepares the hypo:: ALL: Looks like we are ready.

Host CO_Ayidee says:
Count: Personal whims and vendettas are seldom reasonable, and even more seldom kind.  That is why the rule of law is important to us.

Count_Winters says:
<Fernando>: MO: I'll give you the honors.

MO_Jones says:
::moves to the patient and nervously administers the hypo, hoping that things work as the strange visitors have suggested::

Count_Winters says:
CO: Laws on my planet depend on what kind of mood our leaders are in on any particular day.

ACTION:  Whitney Winters begins to shake violently, as if she is having seizures.  Then becomes very calm and opens her eyes.

Count_Winters says:
::Takes Whitney's hand gently in his::

Host CO_Ayidee says:
Count: Many worlds are like that.  But in the Federation, we let time temper our moods which makes for slower, yet more progressive, rule.  It works for us.

MO_Jones says:
::monitors her vitals:: Nurse: Nurse, prepare stasis field ::sees the patient reaction and checks her vitals::

Count_Winters says:
<Fernando>: All: She should be alright, in just a few moments.  
MO: This is normal.  The antidote is killing the toxic poisons.

Host WhitneyWinters says:
::opening her eyes she sees her father::  Winters:  Daddyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy!

Count_Winters says:
Whitney: Oh, my darling girl.  ::Hugs his daughter::
MO_Jones says:
Fernando: I sure hope you are right. ::mutters under his breath something about witch doctors::

Host CO_Ayidee says:
*XO*: Commander, just to bring you up to date, Miss Winters has regained consciousness.  Looks like we have a happy ending to this part.

Host WhitneyWinters says:
::holds onto her father for dear life::  Winters:  Daddy, that witch Akiva tried to kill me!

Count_Winters says:
Whitney:  Are you alright?  I'm so sorry this happened, my dear daughter.  We must get you home right away.

MO_Jones says:
ALL: Looks like she has stabilized.

Count_Winters says:
Whitney: It's all right, now.  The evil Akiva is dead.

Host WhitneyWinters says:
Winters:  Yes Daddy!  And I never want to leave home again... There's no place like home!  ::sitting up in bed, ready to leave;:

Count_Winters says:
CO: Thank you, greatly, Captain but, we must ask to be beamed back to the Sedwick now, we must be getting home.

Host WhitneyWinters says:
Winters:  Is she really Daddy?  I am so glad, she was horrible to me.

MO_Jones says:
Count: Just a moment please, we would like to run a full examination for precautionary measures.

Count_Winters says:
MO: It is fine our doctor and our Sickbay can take it from here.

Host CO_Ayidee says:
*OPS*: Once Medical has cleared Miss Winters, have them Transported back to their vessel.

CNS_aXO_Wells says:
*CO*: Good news, Sir.

Host WhitneyWinters says:
#<Mayflower> COM: Cherokee: This is Captain Hines.  We are within transporter range and ready to beam your passengers aboard.

OPS_Cmdr_Nash says:
*CO*:  Right away.  Jarod should be there with you.  He could escort them to their transport.

OPS_Cmdr_Nash says:
COM:  Mayflower:  Understood.  Ready to receive.

Count_Winters says:
::Helps Whitney off the Stasis Bed:: Whitney: Thank the Captain, dear.  Its time to go home.  Lance is waiting for his bride.

Host CO_Ayidee says:
Count: It was a pleasure meeting you, and a greater pleasure that things ended well.  May our paths cross as friends soon, Count.

CTO_Worthington says:
#::steps on to the pad and awaits transport::

CNS_aXO_Wells says:
#<Ava>:: Steps on pad with Worthington::  CTO: Hello, Sir.

CTO_Worthington says:
#::nods solemnly but says nothing::

Host WhitneyWinters ACTION:  The USS Mayflower beams one passenger to TR 1 and the other to the bridge of the Cherokee.  Needless to say, everyone on the bridge was surprised at the appearance of someone they thought they would never see again, appear. (Transporter.wav)

Count_Winters says:
CO: Thank you, Captain.  ::Nods at Jarod, they're ready::

Host WhitneyWinters says:
CO:  Goodbye Captain.

Host CO_Ayidee says:
Whitney: It was an honor to meet you, Miss Winters. 
*OPS*: Have the Counts party beamed to their vessel.

CTO_Worthington says:
::materializes on the Cherokee bridge:: ALL: Where is the Captain, I must speak with him immediately!

OPS_Cmdr_Nash says:
<Jarod>  Count/Whitney:  This way folks.  :: takes them to Transporter Room 1::

CNS_aXO_Wells says:
::Sees Trent Worthington appear on the bridge and immediately stands:: CTO: Trent?  No way?  Is that you?

OPS_Cmdr_Nash says:
CTO:  Trent?

FCO_Lt_Zdunowski says:
::Checks his console and flight systems.::

CNS_aXO_Wells says:
CTO: Where have you...?  What the...?

ACTION:  All junior officers on the bridge just stand and stare at the CTO.

CNS_aXO_Wells says:
OPS: Get Tio up here fast.

OPS_Cmdr_Nash says:
*CO*: Yes, Sir.

CTO_Worthington says:
::ignores the questions:: aXO: I must speak with your Captain, now.

OPS_Cmdr_Nash says:
CNS: Of course, he wouldn't want to miss this.

FCO_Lt_Zdunowski says:
::Turns over and looks straight towards the CTO Trent.:: CTO: Back as a CTO? Welcome back.

OPS_Cmdr_Nash says:
*CO*:  Captain, it's urgent you get up here, we have a surprise for you.

CTO_Worthington says:
aXO: I will wait in his ready room with your permission, sir.

CNS_aXO_Wells says:
CO: I'll get him for you, but...  Hey, don't you know where you are?  You do know us don't you?  Because, you're being kind of rude for just dropping off the radar without word one to anybody about anything.  Didn't you think we'd worry about you?

Host CO_Ayidee says:
Count/ Whitney: It was an honor, but duty calls.  Have a safe journey.
*OPS*: On my way.  ::Turns and exits Sickbay headed for the Bridge.::

OPS_Cmdr_Nash says:
::Jarod calls Kyleigh to notify that they Winters have been beamed to their transport to go home,::

CNS_aXO_Wells says:
CTO: Fine! Go!  Use the blasted Ready Room.

CTO_Worthington says:
::heads for the RR::

CNS_aXO_Wells says:
::Sits back down::  OPS: Weren't we stupid for worrying all this time about what happened to him.  He just comes waltzing back in here barking orders like he's never left the place!  ::Sits::

OPS_Cmdr_Nash says:
CNS:  Nah, I was never worried about him.  I knew we'd see him one day.  As for barking orders at us, that will never change.  I'm just glad to see him.  Now we need one more former member to come home.  ::thinks of Treeboy::

CNS_aXO_Wells says:
::has little to say::

Host CO_Ayidee says:
::Exits Turbolift.::  XO: What do we have, Commander?

CNS_aXO_Wells says:
FCO: Let's get the Terraforming project going again, what the heck time of day is it, anyway.  ::Kind of upset::
CO: In your Ready room. GO!

FCO_Lt_Zdunowski says:
aXO: Aye-aye sir.

CNS_aXO_Wells says:
FCO/OPS/CEO: How fast can we get started on the planet?

Host CO_Ayidee says:
CNS: I see, sort of.  ::Turns and enters the Ready Room.::

FCO_Lt_Zdunowski says:
*Farcy*: If the CEO is there and your shuttles are loaded, send the guy and his team down. He wants to get there as fast as possible.

FCO_Lt_Zdunowski says:
<Farsy>*FCO*: Aye-aye sir.
CEO: We got the order, to load you up. Please follow me, and we prepare to fly you down.

CNS_aXO_Wells says:
FCO/CEO/OPS: Zero eight hundred hours, then we go back to our surveying schedule of Patel IX.  Have things ready then.   I gotta go greet my new Nanny.
OPS: Mrs. Nash you have the bridge.  ::Exits bridge::

Host CO_Ayidee says:
::Walks through the door.::  CTO: Cap...Commander...Lieutenant?

CTO_Worthington says:
CO: Lt. Worthington, reporting as ordered sir. We need to talk!
