Ship's Log, Stardate 11505.17, Tio Ayidee recording:  The ship has been locked down while Starfleet continues it's investigation.  So far they are taking my answers well, but in the end how the judge our part in the escape is still unclear.

<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<Resume Mission>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>

Host CO_Ayidee says:
::In Ready Room, answering questions from a Starfleet panel, some in the room, some via subspace transmission.::

CMO_LtCmdr_Talora says:
::Walks around Sickbay, checking over anyone that's left over from the last mission::

OPS_Cmdr_Nash says:
::on Bridge, checking on how the repairs are coming along.::

CNS_Ens_Daniels says:
::In his quarters, watching something on the daily broadcasts::

CTO_LT_Q`ten says:
::Standing outside Wally's quarters with chopwI' hanging around his neck.  Activates the door chime::

CNS_Ens_Daniels says:
Computer: Open the door.

CMO_LtCmdr_Talora says:
<MO Rhapsody> ::Finishes her story:: CMO: So? What do you think?

CTO_LT_Q`ten says:
::Steps inside:: CNS: What are you up to?

CNS_Ens_Daniels says:
CTO: Oh, hey.  Umm, nothing much.  Laying about.  Sickbay told me to take it easy so, I'm following doctor's orders.

CMO_LtCmdr_Talora says:
::Sighs and turns:: Rhapsody: Quite frankly, I'm embarrassed that we were manipulated this way. I'm impressed though. You did well on the enemy ship.

CNS_Ens_Daniels says:
chopwI': Hey, kitty cat.
CTO: What are you two up to?

CTO_LT_Q`ten says:
CNS: He's been cooped up for way too long. I thought I would let him run wild for a while in the station arboretum.

Host Investigator_Schmurr says:
::Walking through the ship after investigating what happened to the engineers.  Enters Sickbay.::  CMO: Doctor...::Checks PADD.::  Yes, Doctor Talora?  I'm looking to just get official statements from the ship's staff, do you have a few minutes?

CTO_LT_Q`ten says:
CNS: Thought maybe you might want to join us. Get out for a little while.

CMO_LtCmdr_Talora says:
<MO Rhapsody> CMO: Wally did really well too, you know. He took the initiative over there. I'd have had a rough time- ::Cuts off quickly as the doors open:: Excuse me, Doctor...::Walks off::

CMO_LtCmdr_Talora says:
::Looks over the new person standing in front of her:: Schmurr: Uh huh. ::Waves him towards her office:: After you.

OPS_Cmdr_Nash says:
::she notices that everything is progressing smoothly, so she decided to head to the lounge for some personal time.::

CNS_Ens_Daniels says:
CTO: Sure, sounds like a plan.  ::Turns off the viewing monitor and stands up from the couch::  CTO: Just let me put some shoes on.

Host Investigator_Schmurr says:
CMO: Thanks.  ::Steps in.::  CMO: Not much needed really, just a quick follow up to the reports the JAG received.

CMO_LtCmdr_Talora says:
::Steps in behind them:: Schmurr: What do you want to know? I'm sure I'm not going to be of much help.

CNS_Ens_Daniels says:
::Gets his shoes and puts them on his feet::  CTO: Let's go.

CTO_LT_Q`ten says:
CNS: Anything interesting going on in the big wide galaxy? ::Nods toward the viewer::

OPS_Cmdr_Nash says:
::she exits the TL and heads for the Lounge, after a few moments, she enters the lounge and she sits down when a server appears to take her order, which she just ordered a large glass of unsweetened iced tea extra ice.::

Host Investigator_Schmurr says:
CMO: We need to know a few details, starting with, did you find anything about them medically that could help Starfleet hunt down the escapee and his brother?

CTO_LT_Q`ten says:
::Heads out the door:: CNS: No mention of our recent debacle was there?

CNS_Ens_Daniels says:
CTO: Nah, I was just watching an old movie about a bunch of mega human superheroes call the Avengers.  They have much more fun than we do.  ::Follows CTO out the door::  CTO: And no, nothing about us, not even on the Kandi Chase Show.

CMO_LtCmdr_Talora says:
::Shakes head:: Schmurr: Nothing out of the ordinary. You should have medical records of the escapee from the prison, and anything that was scanned here was standard tricorder readings. Nothing that gets filed. I attempted to place a tracker in the escapee, but I didn't get the opportunity.

Host Investigator_Schmurr says:
CMO: That's too bad.  That would have helped.  No chance you had anything on his brother, Martel Cane was it?

OPS_Cmdr_Nash says:
::after a few minutes, her tea is served, she takes a sip and looks out the window, in deep thought.::

CMO_LtCmdr_Talora says:
Schmurr: Nothing that you don't have yourself.

CTO_LT_Q`ten says:
CNS: Avengers huh? Mega humans?  Like the augments?

Host Investigator_Schmurr says:
CMO: Very well, we had hoped.  The injuries from the initial attack, can you tell anything about the weapons used?

CNS_Ens_Daniels says:
CTO: Something like that.

CTO_LT_Q`ten says:
CNS: Well they only have more fun than we do because they're scripted that way.

CMO_LtCmdr_Talora says:
Schmurr: Only its effectiveness. It shut down our whole ship. It was able to target specific systems it seems. I've never seen anything like it. Not here anyways. Must be a prototype that was stolen. Their ship appeared to be a mix of many different cultures. Pirates and all.

Host Investigator_Schmurr says:
::Nods.::  CMO: Very well, hopefully the Tactical reports may prove more useful in that regard.  But any detail, no matter how minor, may prove vital in figuring things out.

CNS_Ens_Daniels says:
CTO: So, you mean we need better writers?  ::Smiles, thinking himself clever::

CMO_LtCmdr_Talora says:
Schmurr: Oh, naturally.

CTO_LT_Q`ten says:
CNS: :: laughs::  couldn't hurt

Host Investigator_Schmurr says:
CMO: Starfleet Intelligence is already working on this case.  At least that is my understanding.  My clearance levels barely clear me for this much less what those types are thinking.  If you happen to think of anything else that may be of use, please send word.  As I said, any little bit can help.

CTO_LT_Q`ten says:
:: Boarding the station, looks for a nearby console to find directions to the arboretum::

CMO_LtCmdr_Talora says:
Schmurr: SI took this case? Well, I can get a hold of them if I think of anything, no worries. ::Smiles half-heartedly:: Is that all?

Host Investigator_Schmurr says:
CMO: That's all we have for you, yes.  Honestly not sure how this all came about...how a ship with those resources came to be without coming up as a possible threat?  Someone missed something.

CNS_Ens_Daniels says:
CTO: The Arboretum was a good idea for me as well as chopwl'.  I think plants and trees have a calming affect.  Maybe because they're so quiet.

OPS_Cmdr_Nash says:
::as she was in her thoughts, someone approached her so she can look over the most recent updated completed repairs, of course the list was small as there are many more repairs to be performed.::

CMO_LtCmdr_Talora says:
::Shrugs:: Schmurr: I wouldn't worry about questions like that. Leave it to SI. They don't like people asking too many questions.

Host Investigator_Schmurr says:
CMO: Well then eventually it will come to an issue.  The office of the Judge Advocate General...questions are about all we have to deal with.

CMO_LtCmdr_Talora says:
::Raises an eyebrow:: Schmurr: I thought you were just getting my statement about the escapee?

Host Investigator_Schmurr says:
CMO: I am.  But questions are self propagating.  ::Shrugs.::  In the end I just do what is asked of me.  If your ship is cleared of this, however, the look into what is behind all of this needs to continue.  Answers are needed even if we have yet to ask the right questions.  If there is anything else I need I will get back to you.  But I am certain you have more to do than simply debate the motivations of the JAG office.

CMO_LtCmdr_Talora says:
::Smiles:: Schmurr: I quite agree. Thank you.

CTO_LT_Q`ten says:
CNS: Well chopwI' is starting get destructive.  When I got off shift last night I came in and he had shredded my best leather vest.

CNS_Ens_Daniels says:
CTO: Did you forget to feed him or is he just looking for attention?

CTO_LT_Q`ten says:
CNS: And the Holodecks just aren't real enough for him I guess.

Host Investigator_Schmurr says:
::Turns and departs, heading to the next officer on the list.::

CTO_LT_Q`ten says:
CNS: Kind of hard to replicate live prey for him.

CNS_Ens_Daniels says:
CTO: I agree with him.  There's something to be said for the feel and smell of real grass when you're rolling around in it.

CMO_LtCmdr_Talora says:
::Sighs and sits down at her desk, to prepare a few messages to be sent later::

CTO_LT_Q`ten says:
::Arriving at the arboretum entrance.  steps inside::

CNS_Ens_Daniels says:
::Follows CTO into Arboretum::  CTO: Let's just hope his prey isn't unsuspecting strollers.

Host Investigator_Schmurr says:
::Heads off ship after noting most of the rest of those on the list are enjoying the station's facilities.::

CTO_LT_Q`ten says:
::Sets chopwI' down on the ground:: chopwI': There you go big guy, go have some fun.
 
CNS_Ens_Daniels says:
chopwl': Don't eat no one.  ::Watches the big fur ball run off::

CTO_LT_Q`ten says:
::Watches as chopwI' starts sniffing around the unfamiliar surroundings until something catches his attention and he starts stalking::
CNS: He's probably spotted a dragonfly or something.

CNS_Ens_Daniels says:
CTO: I wish chopwl' had been on the Prophet Class with us.  I would have liked for him to eat a few guards I could mention.

Host Investigator_Schmurr says:
::Walks to the arboretum then steps inside, looking about.::  CTO/ CNS: You two, you are from the Cherokee, aren't you?

CTO_LT_Q`ten says:
Schmurr: Yes, is there something you need?

CNS_Ens_Daniels says:
::Looks to see who is talking to them::
Schmurr: Who wants to know?

Host Investigator_Schmurr says:
CTO/ CNS: Lieutenant Schmurr, from the Judge Advocate General's office. I am trying to get a few details cleared up to ensure our report is accurate and concise.

CTO_LT_Q`ten says:
Schmurr: You mean to determine if Captain Ayidee is at fault in the Zartacla incident.  He is not!

Host Investigator_Schmurr says:
CTO: That is not for me to determine.  I am simply gathering facts...but so far it seems the evidence does not disprove your statement.

CNS_Ens_Daniels says:
Schmurr: I won't be much help to you.  I wasn't even on board the Cherokee at the time.

Host Investigator_Schmurr says:
CNS: So you were one of the hostages?

CTO_LT_Q`ten says:
CNS: But if not for your efforts we would not even be here to discuss this.

CNS_Ens_Daniels says:
Schmurr: That is correct, Sir.
CTO: Thanks, nice of you to notice.  ::Smiles::

Host Investigator_Schmurr says:
CNS: You saw the inside of their ship that means.  You might have some of the insight we need.  What type of ship was it?  How was it crewed?  Was their any consistency in their equipment, their training, their demeanor?  Anything?

CNS_Ens_Daniels says:
Schmurr: Whoa, one at a time.  First off, it was a Bajoran Prophet Class, but it had been modified... a lot.
We estimated its crew to be around fifty but, a lot of them were over on the Cherokee while I was there.

Host Investigator_Schmurr says:
CNS: Yes, Prophet class.  But there is no way our technical advisors can see to make such a ship capable of what your scans showed they did.  Now we need some idea how?

CTO_LT_Q`ten says:
Schmurr: their weaponry was definitely not Bajoran.

CNS_Ens_Daniels says:
Schmurr: He's right.  We saw tech from other kinds of ships, including some big guns of Tholian design.

Host Investigator_Schmurr says:
CTO: What it was not is a different answer than what it was, yes?  My staff is...concerned about what a ship of such capabilities might do to Federation citizens and resources.

CTO_LT_Q`ten says:
Schmurr: Wreak havoc, that's what they might do. Unless we find a way to stop them. Which I intend to do.

Host Investigator_Schmurr says:
CNS: Tholian?  You are certain of that?  It is in the report but that is...unusual technology for privateers to get ahold of.

CNS_Ens_Daniels says:
Schmurr: If it helps, we knew some of their crew, most I think, were ex-Marquis.  I think they've done a lot of... salvaging for spare parts.  And yes, we're sure it was Tholian.

CTO_LT_Q`ten says:
Schmurr: Regardless of where it came from its effects were real enough.

Host Investigator_Schmurr says:
CNS: That is disturbing.  
CTO: Where it comes from can help those with the knowledge to determine how to counter it.  But Tholian, I will need to stretch the resources of my office to find help in that regard, that is clear I am afraid.

CTO_LT_Q`ten says:
Schmurr: Well the sooner we find a way, the sooner Martel Canes head will hang on my wall.

CNS_Ens_Daniels says:
Schmurr: From what I understand Martel Cyd is some kind of engineering genius.

Host Investigator_Schmurr says:
CTO: Heads on a...I do hope you mean that as a metaphor.  Federation justice has defined punishments for crimes.  Mounting on a wall does not fit them.  ANY of them.

CTO_LT_Q`ten says:
::chopwI' comes trotting out of the brush with a small vole in his mouth::

CTO_LT_Q`ten says:
Schmurr: I never mentioned Federation justice. ::Bends over to pick up his ocelot:: chopwI': Look at you! You caught a prize.

CNS_Ens_Daniels says:
::Sees chopwl' catch::  chopwl': Mmmm looks tasty.

CTO_LT_Q`ten says:
<chopwI'> ::Folds his ears back and hisses at Schmurr::

OPS_Cmdr_Nash says:
::she finishes her tea and asks the server for another.::

CNS_Ens_Daniels says:
Schmurr: He's just kidding, sort of.  He has no heads hanging on his wall.

Host Investigator_Schmurr says:
CTO: I will chalk that up to the stress of the recent events.  ::Straightens up and coughs.::  I am almost ready to send my report up the chain.  I expect to have some kind of answer shortly but either way, I think some outside of the JAG need to...take a look.  Is he all right?

CTO_LT_Q`ten says:
Schmurr: yet

CTO_LT_Q`ten says:
Schmurr: He's warning you to stay away from his catch.

Host Investigator_Schmurr says:
CTO: I enjoy a good joke, but please be careful.  It is my job to ensure that such things do not happen.  Please do not add to my work load with this sort of thing.

CNS_Ens_Daniels says:
Schmurr: Mmm deep fried vole.

Host Investigator_Schmurr says:
All: Thank you for your time.  I will contact you if I need more.  ::Shakes head and moves on.::

CNS_Ens_Daniels says:
CTO: Come on, let's continue with our walk.  I want to try to catch a vole too.

CTO_LT_Q`ten says:
Schmurr: You don't seem to understand. I swore to Martel Cane that any of the hostages were harmed in the slightest, he would die by my hand. From Mister Daniels condition when he returned Cane ignored my warning.

CTO_LT_Q`ten says:
CNS: Not sure you'd be as good at it as chopwI'.

Host Investigator_Schmurr says:
CTO: I have left, I didn't hear that.  Or any repeats of it.  Dear me...  ::Walks off more quickly.::
