Host CO_Ayidee says:
Ship's Log, Stardate 11006.06, Captain Ayidee recording.  We are continuing our search along the Neutral Zone, both for what happened to the Science Ship and Lieutenant Worthington.  At this time we believe they are related, but still can not say for certain.

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

ACTION:  CTO Worthington has finally come to consciousness.  Diana Smith has been waiting for this moment to find out exactly what is going on.

Host CO_Ayidee says:
::On Bridge, trying to leave people free to do their jobs.::

OPS_Cmdr_Nash says:
::on bridge, monitoring the Shadow Core::

CTO_Lt_Worthington says:
#::regains consciousness, looking around him; his vision slightly restored::

CNS_aXO_Wells says:
::Just arriving back on the bridge, after taking care of other business.  Steps off the Turbolift and takes the CNS's chair left of the Captain's::  CO: So, anything happening?

Host DianaSmith says:
#<sMO> Diana:  Ma'am ::running as he enters the bridge::  He is awake now!

Host CO_Ayidee says:
CNS: Our patience still struggling with theirs, but neither is ahead at the moment.

Host DianaSmith says:
#sMO:  It's about time!  ::glaring at the MO, she leaves the bridge to make her wait to her victims quarters::

CEO_LtCmdr_On says:
:: at engineering looking that everything is normal ::

CNS_aXO_Wells says:
CO: I feel like I've been gone a long time, I guess I'll catch up.

FCO_Lt_Zdunowski says:
::Behind his console. Console checking things and talking to Farsy, who is disappearing afterwards.::

Host DianaSmith says:
#::yanking open the door, her patience at an end::  CTO:  Well, it seems your beauty rest is over Trent!  I want some answers, and I want them now.  Who sent you?

Host CO_Ayidee says:
CNS: Not much to catch up on, Commander.  Ship's nearly back to full capacity, but nothing to test it on.  We did set up a bit of protection from attempts to take over the ship.

CTO_Lt_Worthington says:
#Diana: Oh hey, nice to see you to. I was just here to deliver some paperwork, it appears you have some outstanding parking tickets.

CNS_aXO_Wells says:
CO: Well, then I guess I won't worry then.

Host CO_Ayidee says:
CNS: I wouldn't go that far, but it's one less thing to worry about for now.
OPS: Any signs of attempted intrusion?

Host DianaSmith says:
#CTO:  I am glad you have a sense of humor.  Let's see how long it lasts!  ::walking over she backhands him, sending him flying into the wall.  Blood trickles down the corner of his mouth::

OPS_Cmdr_Nash says:
CO: None as of yet however that could change.

CEO_LtCmdr_On says:
:: leaves engineering in order to go the bridge ::

CTO_Lt_Worthington says:
#Diana: Man, I have missed you. ::spits blood back at her:: Why so rude? Haven't you missed me too?

Host CO_Ayidee says:
All: I think we need to poke the nest with a stick.  Any ideas?

CEO_LtCmdr_On says:
:: takes the Turbo Lift and orders it to set course to the bridge ::

CNS_aXO_Wells says:
CO: What nest?

Host DianaSmith says:
#CTO:  This is the last time I will ask, who sent you and why are you here?  That was just a love tap to get your attention.  Bruiser has been begging me…  Oh you remember Bruiser don't you? To use you as a basketball.

CEO_LtCmdr_On says:
:: enters the bridge ::

Host CO_Ayidee says:
CNS: It's a human expression, isn't it?  It's quiet until you poke it with a stick?

CTO_Lt_Worthington says:
#Diana: That sounds fun and all but I am going to have to pass. I was sent here by Starfleet, your former employers. Looks like someone forgot to pay for their groceries and I was sent here to collect on the bill. Where is LoDuca?

CNS_aXO_Wells says:
CO: I just needed to know what type of stick you needed, Sir.

Host DianaSmith says:
#::roars with laughter::  CTO:  You expect me to believe that you are still looking for that bag of scum?  He has probably tucked his tail and ran for the hills.

Host CO_Ayidee says:
CNS: I'm not sure.  Something that they can't ignore, something that will make it so they come out of hiding.

CEO_LtCmdr_On says:
:: looks for the Captain:: CO: Chief Edward On, reporting to duty, sir.

Host DianaSmith says:
#CTO:  And who says they are my "former" employers?

CTO_Lt_Worthington says:
#Diana: And you expect me to believe that? You are small peas compared to Paul. He is the big fish. Now who is kidding who?

Host DianaSmith says:
::wondering just exactly what kind of game he is playing::
CNS_aXO_Wells says:
FCO: Konrad, you're the idea man, come up with something brilliant.

CTO_Lt_Worthington says:
#Diana: Well if you still work for them then you should already know why I am here.

Host CO_Ayidee says:
CEO: Welcome back, Commander.  Ship is still being repaired, but we're hoping to be ready to incur some huge repairs.

FCO_Lt_Zdunowski says:
::Smiles.:: Self: Well he is back.

Host DianaSmith says:
#CTO:  Is that so?  Well who has this ship and who has dropped off the radar? ::her pulse quickens at the insult::

FCO_Lt_Zdunowski says:
CNS: Me with ideas? Yeah, I would say ram the ship in to the position, force them to do action.... Afterwards? Or simply give them a gift. Vodka perhaps?

CNS_aXO_Wells says:
CO: We can either attract them out with something they want or attack them somehow from where they are.

CEO_LtCmdr_On says:
CO: Understood, sir. Where did you want me to supervise the repairs or you need me here at the bridge?

CTO_Lt_Worthington says:
#Diana: Yeah, you may have the ship but we all know you don't have what it takes to use it, demonstrated by the fact you are out here stealing medical supplies like a two bit hoodlum.

CNS_aXO_Wells says:
::Looks at FCO:: FCO: Yeah, that's what I'm saying.  Give them something or blast them.

Host CO_Ayidee says:
CEO: I would like input from the Bridge, but if you need Engineering, I'm not going to refuse.

Host Raal says:
%COM: Cherokee:  I have found another trail.  Sending the coordinates now.  :;tapping her console::

Host CO_Ayidee says:
CNS: Drawing them out is easier, as we don't know where they are.

CNS_aXO_Wells says:
CO: Agreed.

FCO_Lt_Zdunowski says:
CNS: So we are on one line then? Again!

CEO_LtCmdr_On says:
CO: Okay, Sir. I will stay here. I’ll just go to my console.  :: goes to his console.::

CNS_aXO_Wells says:
FCO: Were we off line?

FCO_Lt_Zdunowski says:
CNS: Hehe, not really. I meant, we where on the same track.

Host DianaSmith says:
#CTO:  Not so small when the supplies we used on you came from that ship.  ::fakes a sigh::  Too bad it crashed on a planet.

OPS_Cmdr_Nash says:
COM: Ra'al:  Thank you, coordinates received.
CO:  Captain, Ra'al has just sent new coordinates of another ion trail.

CTO_Lt_Worthington says:
#Diana: Look, did you bring me here to just flirt with me or are you going to get down to it as you are starting to bore me?

Host DianaSmith says:
#CTO:  Now, I want some answers.  ::turning to the door, she raises her voice so Bruiser can hear her tell him to come in::

Host CO_Ayidee says:
OPS: How far from the Neutral Zone?

CNS_aXO_Wells says:
FCO: Oh yes, yes we are.  I'm sorry my head is scrambled, being counselor, XO, studying for command test, add a five year old boy to raise and well, you see where I'm going with this.  ::Smiles::

FCO_Lt_Zdunowski says:
CNS: I had that, a few days ago. Scrambled Eggs.

CNS_aXO_Wells says:
FCO: Exactly!

OPS_Cmdr_Nash says:
CO:  The coordinates indicate that the trail leads into the Neutral Zone, closer to our side.

Host DianaSmith says:
#CTO:  Well, let's try something easy.  Where is the formula?

ACTION:  Bruiser pauses just outside the doorway.

CNS_aXO_Wells says:
::Looks at CO::  CO: So, what do you think?

Host CO_Ayidee says:
FCO: Plot us a course, headed for where they are, one that will take a full engine burst to alter course to prevent entering.  Let's make Neutral Zone Proximity the bait.

FCO_Lt_Zdunowski says:
::Smiles.:: CNS:: What bait can we give them? Ship in a bottle?

CTO_Lt_Worthington says:
#Diana: So Jessup did tell you I had it?  Oh how I love how you SFI people work. Well, I will give it to you but you have to do something for me.

FCO_Lt_Zdunowski says:
CO: Aye-aye sir.

Host CO_Ayidee says:
FCO: Or ship headed for a bottle.

Host DianaSmith says:
#CTO:  And what is that?  ::raising her eyebrow suspiciously::

CNS_aXO_Wells says:
FCO: More like goldfish in a bowl.

CTO_Lt_Worthington says:
#Diana: You tell me where LoDuca is and I will give you the formula. Your life for his.

FCO_Lt_Zdunowski says:
::Plots a new course.:: CO: What I mean is leave a shuttle behind, with a kind a localizer on board. That beeps and tells us where the shuttle is. And hope it will be picked up.

Host DianaSmith says:
::pauses to consider the offer::

Host CO_Ayidee says:
FCO: That will be plan B, if they don't try and cut our reins.
OPS: Keep a close eye on Shadow, if they are going to try and alter our operations, this is a great place for it.

OPS_Cmdr_Nash says:
CO: Already on it.

FCO_Lt_Zdunowski says:
CO: Roger that sir. Path is plotted.

Host DianaSmith says:
#CTO:  Deal!  Now tell me.

CTO_Lt_Worthington says:
#Diana: You first, and then I will tell you how you can live.

Host CO_Ayidee says:
FCO: Engage, let's lay out the bait.

Host DianaSmith says:
#CTO:  That stupid baboon has gone back to the slave planet.  Starfleet left it after evacuating all the people from it.  He thought it would be the last place you would look for him.  I only know because I have one of my spies with him.  He would kill me to get this ship back.

FCO_Lt_Zdunowski says:
CO: Aye-aye sir. ::Starts the plotted course. Happy to be on the ball again.::

Host DianaSmith says:
#CTO:  Now, give me the formula!  I have men dying here.

CTO_Lt_Worthington says:
#Diana: If you are lying to me, I will find you and I will kill you. Understood? ::he extends his right arm and rips open the skin, beneath is a small isolinear chip:: Give this to your doctor.

Host DianaSmith says:
#*cCMO*:  We have the formula.  I will send it down with Bruiser.

CTO_Lt_Worthington says:
#Diana: Once your doctor confirms the formula I want a shuttlecraft. Tell Starfleet you had to kill me. No one will stop me from finishing off LoDuca.

Host DianaSmith says:
#CTO:  Come with me.  Now that the formula for the Theleron Radiation is being sent down to the Doctor, let see what the Cherokee is up to.  ::Pauses.::  As if they would believe me... haven't you got it yet Trent?  They want you dead!

CTO_Lt_Worthington says:
#::follows after Smith:: Diana: Why? Because I won't let you get away with your little games.

Host DianaSmith says:
#CTO:  Too many of the higher ups will get caught and they can't afford that to happen.

CTO_Lt_Worthington says:
#Diana: You really think the Rommies are that much of a threat? They can't even agree who to hate more us or Klingons.

Host DianaSmith says:
#CTO:  The Romulans are no threat.  Neither are the Klingons for that matter.  They just wanted this ship and the way to get it was through LoDuca.  You are such a child!

CTO_Lt_Worthington says:
#Diana: Diana, give up all this nonsense. Come with me, we can really make a difference together.

Host DianaSmith says:
#sOPS:  Open the view screen and let's see if we can visually see the Cherokee, if not, move us into position on her.
CTO:  You have got to be kidding!  I am making enough credits to set me up for life.  When SFI gets through with this ship, I will slip away as if I never existed.

Host CO_Ayidee says:
OPS: Prepare the Shadow to represent us doing whatever they want.  Should give us a few seconds as they try to figure out if sensors or control systems are telling the truth.

Host DianaSmith says:
#<sOPS> Diana:  Ma'am. we are moving within range of the Cherokee.  She still has no idea where we are, neither does that Rommie ship looking on the other side of the border.

CTO_Lt_Worthington says:
#Diana: Have it your way. As long as LoDuca dies, that is all I care about.

OPS_Cmdr_Nash says:
CO:  Aye, Sir.  ::she does as asked with the Shadow.::

Host DianaSmith says:
#<sCMO>  *Diana*:  I am running the formula now.  Something is not right here.

FCO_Lt_Zdunowski says:
::Monitors the plotted course.::

ACTION:  The Hand of God’s systems begin to fluxuate.

CTO_Lt_Worthington says:
#Diana: Looks like Jessup double crossed you. Sorry old girl.

Host DianaSmith says:
#::lets out a scream in frustration::  CTO:  I will personally kill him!

Host CO_Ayidee says:
Tactical: Reinforce forward shields, ready weapons.  We won't get a lot of time if this works.

Host DianaSmith says:
::turning her back on Trent, she begins to talk to her TO::

CTO_Lt_Worthington says:
#Diana: Good luck with that. ::turns away and activates his implant with a large flash of light::

ACTION:  The CTO sets off an implant that incapacitates everyone on the bridge.

CTO_Lt_Worthington says:
#::Trent rushes over to the console and tries to release Anesthezine gas on the rest of the ship but the system will not work:: Self: Looks like we will have to do this the old fashioned way.

CTO_Lt_Worthington says:
#COM: Cherokee: Cherokee, this is Captain Worthington of the Hand of God, I could use your assistance.  ::Trent lowers the cloak and shields, bringing the ship to a full stop.:: Self; We don't have much time.

OPS_Cmdr_Nash says:
CO: Captain, Trent is hailing us saying he is Captain of a The Hand of God.

Host CO_Ayidee says:
OPS: Understood.
COM: Hand of God: Captain Worthington, this is Captain Ayidee, give us your coordinates and we'll get you assistance.

CTO_Lt_Worthington says:
#::sends coordinates:: COM: Cherokee: Coordinates sent. I need security over here to arrest the crew, I have secured the bridge. The systems are fluctuating rapidly sir. She may blow at any time now.

CEO_LtCmdr_On says:
CO: The scan show us that he lowers the cloak device and the shields and he had bring the ship to a full stop

CNS_aXO_Wells says:
CO: Well, it is nice that he finally called.  ::Is genuinely relieved to hear he is okay::

ACTION:  The Hand of God appears on the sensors and the Cherokee makes it way towards her.

Host CO_Ayidee says:
FCO: Bring us to the coordinates.
OPS: Inform Commander Raal this is now a rescue operation, we're crossing in, so we would appreciate an "escort" to keep it legal.

OPS_Cmdr_Nash says:
CO: Aye, Sir.

Host CO_Ayidee says:
CEO: See what kind of scans you can get on it, let teams know what we're getting into.

FCO_Lt_Zdunowski says:
::Changes course towards the Hand of God.:: CO: Course changed.

CEO_LtCmdr_On says:
CO: Aye, Sir.

Host CO_Ayidee says:
CNS: Let’s see if we can make something of it.  Even with Raal, this is a big risk I'm taking going in.

CNS_aXO_Wells says:
CO: I'll alert Sickbay.  ::Does it::

CTO_Lt_Worthington says:
#::starts securing the unconscious bridge crew, doesn't want them to interfere.::

CNS_aXO_Wells says:
CO: Well, that is what we do on the Cherokee, isn't it?  Take risks.

Host CO_Ayidee says:
Tactical: Full Security Teams, armed with Type III.  No risks, go in, secure that ship, and get the crew under control.

OPS_Cmdr_Nash says:
COM: Ra'al:  We are now in rescue mode and in need of crossing into the Neutral Zone. We would appreciate an escort to keep everything legitimate.

Host CO_Ayidee says:
CNS: That's part of Starfleet life, wouldn't have it any other way.

Host Raal says:
%COM: Cherokee:  Understood, meeting you there.  And we called for your help if anyone should inquire.  Ra'al out!

CNS_aXO_Wells says:
CO: And we never leave a man or a friend behind, even Trent.

CNS_aXO_Wells says:
All: So, we have no option but to go.

CTO_Lt_Worthington says:
#COM: Cherokee: Captain, according to my readings we maybe have 10 minutes ‘til the Theleron reactor starts to come apart, we need to get everyone off here and in custody as fast we can.

ACTION:  The Hand of God's systems are overloading.

OPS_Cmdr_Nash says:
CO:  They will meet us there and for the records, they called us for help.

Host CO_Ayidee says:
COM: Hand: Understood, we'll start beaming as soon as in range.

CEO_LtCmdr_On says:
:: he calls engineering to set up a team of engineers to scan more deeply the ship to see what they can find ::

Host CO_Ayidee says:
OPS: Tell the Transporter Rooms to start beaming people out as soon as in range.  Bio only, no time to risk leaving them weapons.

CNS_aXO_Wells says:
::Alerts all Transporter rooms, for standby::

OPS_Cmdr_Nash says:
CO:  Understood.

Host CO_Ayidee says:
OPS: Might be a good idea to get some robes to Transporter rooms while we're at it.
Sec: Get teams to the rooms to take control.

CNS_aXO_Wells says:
CO: Where are we going to put them all?

OPS_Cmdr_Nash says:
::informs all Transporters to begin transporting people off of the Hand of God::

Host CO_Ayidee says:
CNS: That's a good question, going to have to go with the Cargo bays as a sorting facility.

CNS_aXO_Wells says:
CO: That was my thinking.  Give it extra security.  Should be okay, huh?

CTO_Lt_Worthington says:
#COM: Cherokee: Sir, things are going down hill fast here. If we can't get them off soon I will have to move out of range to protect the Cherokee.

CNS_aXO_Wells says:
CO: Are we in range?

Host CO_Ayidee says:
COM: Hand: Understood, Transporters just coming in range and starting.  We'll go full speed.  Any way to get the ship crew to abandon ship?
