Host CO_Ayidee says:
Ship's Log, Stardate 11006.20, Captain Ayidee recording.  We are still traveling to Starbase 33 with our prisoners secured, but far from feeling like everything is wrapped up.  We are looking forward to some answers to long standing questions now.

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

Host CO_Ayidee says:
::Making for Sickbay to try and get some answers.::

Host Adm-Alexander says:
%::pacing her office floor wondering why she hasn't heard from the Cherokee::

CTO_Lt_Worthington says:
::laying in the Biobed, recovering from surgery::

OPS_Cmdr_Nash says:
::on Bridge::

Host CO_Ayidee says:
::Enters Sickbay, moving for the recovery room.::

CNS_aXO_Wells says:
::In the CMO's office, borrowing it to make some post op notes on patient Worthington's medical chart::

Host Adm-Alexander says:
%COM: Cherokee:  This is Admiral Alexander.  Kyleigh there should be a ship meeting you shortly to relieve you of your prisoners.  It is the Dallas.

FCO_Lt_Zdunowski says:
::At the bridge, reading the debriefing messages of Farsy, from his shuttle missions.::

CNS_aXO_Wells says:
::Sees CO enter, with great determination:: CO: Hold up, Sir.  Wait a second before you go in there.

Host CO_Ayidee says:
XO: Of course, is anything wrong?

OPS_Cmdr_Nash says:
COM: ADM:  Ah, the Dallas. Understood. I wonder if they spread the word on my creative side.

Host Adm-Alexander says:
%COM: Cherokee:  Creative side?  Did I miss something?

CNS_aXO_Wells says:
CO: No, I just want to say that before you go in there to remind you he's recovering from a pretty traumatic surgery, so please go easy on him. I worked hard to patch his brain up.  Don't go making it explode or something.

OPS_Cmdr_Nash says:
COM: ADM:  They were the ship who took our place at the Hell planet.  And I had given my story to the kids.

Host CO_Ayidee says:
XO: Don't worry, he's not a prisoner.  He is still one of us after all.

Host Adm-Alexander says:
%COM: Cherokee:  I haven't heard about that one Kyleigh.  You will have to bring me up to date once you arrive here.

CNS_aXO_Wells says:
CO: I'll join you, if you don't mind.

Host Adm-Alexander says:
<USS Dallas> $COM: Cherokee:  This is the USS Dallas.  We will be reaching you in about 15 minutes.  Please have the prisoners ready for transfer.

Host CO_Ayidee says:
XO: Of course, you deserve the answers as much as anyone.

OPS_Cmdr_Nash says:
COM: Dallas:  Understood.

CNS_aXO_Wells says:
CO: After you. ::Follows the CO into the recovery room and to the CTO's bedside::

Host CO_Ayidee says:
::Walks in.::  CTO: How are you feeling, Lieutenant?

Host Adm-Alexander says:
<Dallas> $COM: Cherokee:  Is there any medical attention needed?

CTO_Lt_Worthington says:
::Notices he has guest:: CO: Sore, how about yourself?

OPS_Cmdr_Nash says:
*CO*:  The USS Dallas will be here in about 15 minutes to collect the prisoners.

Host Adm-Alexander says:
%COM: Cherokee:  When the Captain is available, I need a private chat with him.  Ask him to call when he can.  Is there anything else I should know?

Host CO_Ayidee says:
CTO: I'm fine, and the ship is in good shape on her way home.  But we need a rundown of what happened over there.

OPS_Cmdr_Nash says:
COM: ADM:  I'll relay the message.

CNS_aXO_Wells says:
::Checking the readouts on the bio-bed monitoring display and makes a few adjustment on the control panel as he listens to the conversation about to unfold::

CTO_Lt_Worthington says:
CO: Well they bashed my face in for a while and then they got sloppy. I tricked them into thinking I had a cure to their illness. I used that to disable their ship.

CNS_aXO_Wells says:
CO: Ummm, could you ask him to start at the beginning?

Host CO_Ayidee says:
CTO: That's jumping a bit ahead.  Last we saw you Intel was dragging you out of a briefing room, and then you came back as a special consultant.  Long time between.

CNS_aXO_Wells says:
CTO: Yup.

CTO_Lt_Worthington says:
CO: I had to swap identities so that I could go undercover to stop the KPF. As part of the deal they trumped up some charges against me and offered me a chance to stop the KPF.

OPS_Cmdr_Nash says:
COM: ADM:  Oh yeah, almost slipped my mind with all the chaos I forgot to mention that Trent is back, Diana Smith is dead  and the Hand of God is completely destroyed.

Host CO_Ayidee says:
CTO: Are you telling me the entire thing was planned in advance?  No one knew a thing about what happened, outside of yourself.  That's a bit more hush-hush than can usually be counted on.

Host Adm-Alexander says:
%COM: Cherokee:  It seems SFI hasn't told me everything.  Can you give me a little more detail please?  ::wonders who she is going thank for all of this at SFI::

CTO_Lt_Worthington says:
CO: There are certain people in Starfleet Intelligence believed to be "sympathetic" to the KPF. Secrecy was paramount for this mission to work.

CNS_aXO_Wells says:
CTO: Let me guess, no one could be bothered to tell any of this to us because it's more of that need to know... stuff, right?

FCO_Lt_Zdunowski says:
::Listens to the chatter of the Admiral to OPS.::

CTO_Lt_Worthington says:
CNS: Highest level of secrecy Counselor. That is how this missions work. I have been undercover since the moment I left until a few days ago.

OPS_Cmdr_Nash says:
COM: ADM:  Admiral, I personally do not have any details to give you.  It appears that the only one with all the info is Trent.

Host CO_Ayidee says:
CTO: Who was behind it?  Secret or not someone's gotta set things in motion.

ACTION:  The FCO detects the USS Dallas approaching.

CNS_aXO_Wells says:
CO: I hate that rule.

FCO_Lt_Zdunowski says:
OPS: USS Dallas is approaching us.  I will let the Captain know.

CTO_Lt_Worthington says:
CO: Admiral Jessup recruited me after I attacked the chief prosecutor for letting LoDuca walk.

Host CO_Ayidee says:
CNS: You aren't the only one.

OPS_Cmdr_Nash says:
FCO: Acknowledged.

FCO_Lt_Zdunowski says:
*CO*: Sir, the USS Dallas is approaching us.

Host Adm-Alexander says:
%COM: Cherokee:  Let him know I want a private chat with him as well when he returns.

CNS_aXO_Wells says:
CTO: So, what did he who shall not be named have to do with this?  I thought he'd be in hiding someplace.

CTO_Lt_Worthington says:
CO/CNS: None of this matters now though.  The KPF is dead and those who would support them will be exposed.

CNS_aXO_Wells says:
CTO: You attacked a lawyer?

CTO_Lt_Worthington says:
CNS: Yes, I did. LoDuca is nothing now. We will catch him sooner or later.

Host CO_Ayidee says:
CTO: So he wasn't aboard the Hand?

CTO_Lt_Worthington says:
CO: He is excommunicated, no one will touch him.

CNS_aXO_Wells says:
CTO: Well, you're alive and that's all that matters to me.  But, I can't wait to read your reports on this.  Please, feel free to go into great detail; like you're talking to people who have no idea what you have been up to for the last two years.

Host CO_Ayidee says:
CTO: So he's practically martyred, with nothing to loose.  That doesn't make a man like that nothing, that makes him dangerous.

CTO_Lt_Worthington says:
CO: He is hiding on the slave planet, according to Smith. She apparently went rogue and was trying to find a cure to the Theleron radiation. She made a deal with SFI to get it. That is how I disabled their ship, newest SFI tech, isolinear chip back feed their entire system.

Host CO_Ayidee says:
*FCO*: Understood, are they the transport ship?

Host CO_Ayidee says:
CTO: Theleron radiation?  How severe was that, and what was the source?

CNS_aXO_Wells says:
::Fluffs up the patient's pillows:: CTO: Diana Smith?  I thought those two would be done with each other after the trial.

FCO_Lt_Zdunowski says:
*CO*: Affirmative.

Host Adm-Alexander says:
<Dallas> $COM: Cherokee:  We are within beaming range.  Please send us the coordinates and we will begin transporting them to our ship.

Host CO_Ayidee says:
*FCO*: Then match velocity and prepare for the transfer.  Double check security codes before transfer.

OPS_Cmdr_Nash says:
COM: Dallas:  Understood.

CTO_Lt_Worthington says:
CO: The reactor of their ship uses illegal Theleron radiation. The radiation was poisoning their crew after long term exposure. Instead of trying to take over the galaxy they were searching every medical vessels they could for a possible cure.

FCO_Lt_Zdunowski says:
*CO*: Aye-aye, matching velocity and preparing to beam the cargo out.

CTO_Lt_Worthington says:
CNS: They were, LoDuca was a means to an end for Smith. She actually cared for the crew and died trying to save them. In her own twisted mind she was a hero.

Host CO_Ayidee says:
CTO: Understood.  And I am not even going to ask about the disabling device.  I'm sure it's past both of our clearance levels.

CNS_aXO_Wells says:
CTO: She did her part in getting Paul convicted.

FCO_Lt_Zdunowski says:
::Matches the speed of the Dallas.::

CTO_Lt_Worthington says:
CO: Herein lies the problem sir. I was supposed to capture that vessel and return to Starfleet. I was supposed to secure it at all costs. I am sure I will be summoned to Earth to answer for that.

CNS_aXO_Wells says:
CTO: ...but, hero?  Don't let Kyleigh hear you say that.

FCO_Lt_Zdunowski says:
COM: Dallas: We have the same speed as the Dallas.

CNS_aXO_Wells says:
CTO: What's the big deal with THAT ship?

CTO_Lt_Worthington says:
CNS: Other that the fact it can fire while cloaked?

OPS_Cmdr_Nash says:
::she checks the security levels and confirms that they are indeed the USS Dallas. She sends over the proper beaming coordinates so the prisoners can be transferred in the most efficient manner.::

Host CO_Ayidee says:
CTO: Intel is going to have to get used to it.  Space combat is impossible to predict or control.  Getting out in one piece is all that matters.  Classified Romulan Technology can remain so.

CNS_aXO_Wells says:
CTO: Really?  Cool.

FCO_Lt_Zdunowski says:
COM: Dallas: Are you ready to receive the packages?

CTO_Lt_Worthington says:
CO: So I could be Ensign Worthington next time I see you.

Host CO_Ayidee says:
CTO: How did they get you inside?  You aren't exactly able to go incognito with the likes of LoDuca, Smith or any of the others.

Host Adm-Alexander says:
<Dallas> $COM: Cherokee:  Receiving coordinates now.

FCO_Lt_Zdunowski says:
Com: Dallas: Aye-aye.

CNS_aXO_Wells says:
CTO: That's too bad, I thought the Lieutenant part was part of your cover story and you could now be our XO again.

Host CO_Ayidee says:
CTO/ XO: Starfleet is still in need of good people.  Their rank is a temporary issue.

CTO_Lt_Worthington says:
CO: I stuck to surveying colonies around trade routes, looked for signs they had been by. After I gathered enough Intel, Smith cut her deal with SFI. They then sent me to you, knowing that we would be an ideal trap for them. They couldn't resist coming after us again.

FCO_Lt_Zdunowski says:
Com: Dallas: I have received the coordinates. Starting to execute the beam out. When you are ready to receive them.

CNS_aXO_Wells says:
CO: We were bait, again.

Host CO_Ayidee says:
CNS: At least this time it worked.

CNS_aXO_Wells says:
CO: Yup.

Host CO_Ayidee says:
CTO: Were you officially drummed out, or was all that part of the cover story?

Host Adm-Alexander says:
::receives an incoming transmission priority one from SFI regarding Trent Worthington::

FCO_Lt_Zdunowski says:
*CO*: Matched speed with the Dallas. Exchanged coordinates. We are ready to beam out our cargo sir.

CNS_aXO_Wells says:
CTO: I thought you were doing something to go after LoDuca, that's why I was so mad at you because to protect you we needed to know what was going on.

Host Adm-Alexander says:
::the more she reads, the madder she gets.  Her hair looks pale pink to the color in her cheeks::

Host CO_Ayidee says:
*FCO*: Very good, thank them for the effort, our cargo holds were about to burst at times.

CTO_Lt_Worthington says:
CO: Charges are still pending. So they can rule whenever they feel. If they are not too upset about the ship blowing up, hopefully they drop all charges and then I will be restored back to Captain rank. Though the Cherokee is yours Captain, I would never dream of trying to take her from you.

CNS_aXO_Wells says:
CTO: Feel free to take my position.  ::Smiles::

CTO_Lt_Worthington says:
CNS: If I could have told you everything Garrison I would have.

Host CO_Ayidee says:
CTO: But if you were officially re-assigned before they called for your return, we could at least give you a base to protect yourself from.

FCO_Lt_Zdunowski says:
Com: Dallas: I have to thank you from our Captain, that you are releasing us from this cargo. The holds where going to burst soon enough. Can we start to beam?

CNS_aXO_Wells says:
CTO: I know, need to know, that don't mean I ain't going to get ticked off about it.

Host Adm-Alexander says:
::starts pacing her office speculating on who she can contact at SFC::

CTO_Lt_Worthington says:
CO: Hey, maybe they promote me to Admiral and then I can give you guys sour stomachs all the time like Alexander. ::smiles::

Host Adm-Alexander says:
::she has seen some screwed up missions before, but this one takes the cake.  She will make sure heads will roll over this one.::

CNS_aXO_Wells says:
CTO: You don't need to be Admiral to do that.

CTO_Lt_Worthington says:
CNS: Hey now!

CNS_aXO_Wells says:
::Laughs:

Host CO_Ayidee says:
CTO: Does anyone else know where LoDuca is now?

CNS_aXO_Wells says:
::Stops laughing::

CTO_Lt_Worthington says:
CO: If Diana is telling the truth? Then no one but us three sir.

CNS_aXO_Wells says:
CTO/CO: Are we going to go after him?

Host CO_Ayidee says:
CTO/ XO: Then we may have a chance to truly tie up loose ends.  What are the odds we can get assigned to a follow up mission without any questions asked?

CTO_Lt_Worthington says:
CO/CNS: Slim, unless Admiral Alexander is involved.

CNS_aXO_Wells says:
CO: It depends on how much we tell Starfleet about what we are doing.

FCO_Lt_Zdunowski says:
::Starts the first 10 test beam outs.:: COM: Dallas: I have beamed out 10. Can you confirm you have received them?

CNS_aXO_Wells says:
CTO: Give them a little of that need to know stuff back at them.

CTO_Lt_Worthington says:
CNS: Exactly. A little taste of their own medicine.

Host Adm-Alexander says:
<Dallas>  $COM: Cherokee:  We have them.  We are ready for the rest.

Host CO_Ayidee says:
XO: We can do that, with just a twist.

FCO_Lt_Zdunowski says:
COM: Dallas: Mass beam out will take about 15 minutes. Will start now. ::Starts to mass beam out the Klingons.::

CNS_aXO_Wells says:
::Nods in agreement::  CO/CTO: We can move more freely if Starfleet thinks we are doing something else.  The minute they find out it’s about LoDuca, knowing our history, everyone there will freak out and then that’s when stuff gets all sticky and gooey.

Host CO_Ayidee says:
CTO: Good work, especially the part about Smith sending a team to see if we left any usable supplies on the slave planet.

Host Adm-Alexander says:
:;walks over to her desk and begins placing calls, priority one::

Host CO_Ayidee says:
CNS: Two of our missions overlap, I think we can push for jurisdiction.

FCO_Lt_Zdunowski says:
::Monitors the beam out and sees all things are going well.:: *CO*: Mass beam out initiated. It will still take 10 minutes until the cargo is over to the USS Dallas.

CTO_Lt_Worthington says:
CO/XO: With LoDuca out of the way the Cherokee could do actual missions searching the galaxy.

Host CO_Ayidee says:
*FCO*: Understood, keep to procedures and make sure it goes without problems.

CNS_aXO_Wells says:
CO/CTO: No one, other than this crew need hear the name LoDuca, it's all about recovering lost supplies.

FCO_Lt_Zdunowski says:
*CO*: Aye-aye sir. All procedures followed so far.

CTO_Lt_Worthington says:
CO/XO: Aye sir, the lost supplies.

Host CO_Ayidee says:
CTO/ XO: Very well, we'll leave him out.  I think I have enough pull to get us assigned with less.

CNS_aXO_Wells says:
CO: I can't believe I'm saying this but, back to New Hades?

Host Adm-Alexander says:
<Farsy> *FCO*:  Hey boss!  The shuttles are in good shape and the smell is gone.

FCO_Lt_Zdunowski says:
*Farsy*: Thank you sir. That smell, yea, good it is gone. I will make a note about your efforts in my personal book about you and your crew.

CTO_Lt_Worthington says:
CO: Sir, may I also suggest that with my extensive injuries it is best I stay in Dr. Wells care for a while, heading back to Earth now may be bad for my condition. ::grinning::

Host CO_Ayidee says:
CNS: Hopefully we can wrap up a bigger problem.

CNS_aXO_Wells says:
CTO: I haven't discharged anybody.

Host CO_Ayidee says:
CTO: I'm sure that can be arranged.  Moving an injured patient is bad, first rule of first aid, not to mention real medical situations.

Host Adm-Alexander says:
<Farsy>  FCO:  We had to use some really heavy duty deodorizer!  I don't think anyone could have stood them if we hadn't been successful!  My men will appreciate any good word from you Sir!

CNS_aXO_Wells says:
CTO: I may not be done swimming around in your head yet.

CTO_Lt_Worthington says:
CNS: That does not sound good. You know you don't really have to lobotomize me for this to work.

Host CO_Ayidee says:
CTO: But he has to be thorough, otherwise it might not work.

CNS_aXO_Wells says:
CTO: Oh, this time I was planning on going in as the ship's counselor, then when he's done the XO gets you.  ::Laughs::

FCO_Lt_Zdunowski says:
::Looks in his system. Beams out a small crate from his room to the Shuttlebay.:: *Farsy*: My thank is great. I really appreciate it. I have beamed a purple colored crate in the Shuttlebay. I think you know what to do with what you find inside. But be sure only to use alcohol in your spare time. Use it with sense.

CTO_Lt_Worthington says:
CO/XO: Now that I think about it counseling sessions may be worse than going to face the music at Starfleet.

CNS_aXO_Wells says:
CO/CTO: Wouldn't that be great if we could end him.

Host Adm-Alexander says:
<Farsy>  *FCO*:  Aye Sir!  ::grins::  The men will appreciate it.

Host CO_Ayidee says:
CNS: It's not him that we need to end, it's his ideas.  One man can do little, one man's idea can bring down an empire.

CNS_aXO_Wells says:
CTO: We could give Kandi Chase the exclusive, we'll be media sensations all over again.  This time they'll make action figures of us.

FCO_Lt_Zdunowski says:
*Farsy*: I think so. But only aftertime, and after cleaning up the Shuttlebay, and help cleaning the holding areas. Zdunowski out. ::Grins.::

CTO_Lt_Worthington says:
XO: I do owe her, I will have to give her my thanks next time I am on Earth.

FCO_Lt_Zdunowski says:
::Sees that the beam out has completed.:: COM: Dallas: All has beamed out. Thank you.

Host CO_Ayidee says:
CTO: Get your rest then, we still have work ahead of us.

FCO_Lt_Zdunowski says:
*CO*: Packages are on the USS Dallas now sir.

ACTION:  The USS Dallas begins pulling away from the Cherokee on her was to Earth.

CNS_aXO_Wells says:
CTO: Yeah, go to sleep, we have a busy adventure ahead.  Good night, Mr. Worthington.

Host CO_Ayidee says:
*FCO*: Understood, I'll be back to the Bridge shortly.  Good work.
