Ship's Log, Stardate 11608.07, Tio Ayidee recording.  During our investigation of the outpost an unknown vessel has dropped cloak next to the Cherokee and ordered us to stand down.  Who they are and what they want are just two more questions to add to the growing list.

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

Host CO_Ayidee says:
@::On Bridge.::  *AT*: Get that outpost secure just in case we can't get things clear up here.

Host CO_Ayidee says:
@OPS: Get that ship on screen if they can, if not then open a voice channel.
TO: Shields up, give me an analysis of that ship.

OPS_Cmdr_Nash says:
@::On Bridge, trying to make sense of this recent chaos event of a de-cloaking vessel::

CIV_Capt_Marek says:
<Ju'Knows> USS Cherokee: seconds are passing by. surrender or die... we know about you... ::turns to his first mate:: Be ready to shoot.

CNS_Ens_Daniels says:
*CO*: Aye, Sir.  CTO: Secured, that means you.

OPS_Cmdr_Nash says:
@::activates Viewscreen, hoping to see who occupies the other ship::

Host CO_Ayidee says:
@COM: Ju'Knows: This is Captain Ayidee of the Cherokee.  Who am I speaking with?

CIV_Capt_Marek says:
CTO/CIV: These unwanted visitors sure have the key to solve this conundrum.

CIV_Capt_Marek says:
<Ju'Knows> COM: Ju'Knows.

CTO_LTJG_Q`ten says:
CNS/CIV: Well let's get back up there and kick some unwanted visitor SaHut!

Host CO_Ayidee says:
@<TO> CO: Sir, that ship, it does not appear to have the capability to handle a ship of this capability.  Maybe 50 crew, weapons far below current Starfleet standards.

CNS_Ens_Daniels says:
CTO: So, my trip to the village is off?

CTO_LTJG_Q`ten says:
CNS: For the moment at least.

CNS_Ens_Daniels says:
::Is seriously bummed out::

CTO_LTJG_Q`ten says:
CNS/CIV: Do we have everything tucked away?

Host CO_Ayidee says:
@Com: Ju'Knows: Then at least we each know who we are dealing with.  We came here to investigate a missing Starfleet team and see if they are in need of assistance.  What brings your ship here?

CIV_Capt_Marek says:
<Ju’Knows> First officer: Send a team down. Take control of that outpost... again.

CIV_Capt_Marek says:
<Dnt'say> Ju’Knows: Aye...
CIV_Capt_Marek says:
<Dnt'say> Faer'sur:  Go ready and go down again. You know the routine.

CIV_Capt_Marek says:
<Faer'sur> Dnt'say: ::with a fatigue tone:: Ahh man... again??

CIV_Capt_Marek says:
<Ju'Knows> COM: Cherokee: Investigate... don't make laugh... Surrender at once!

CIV_Capt_Marek says:
<Faer'sur> Cahier and Faer'saik: Ok.. Let's pay a visit to some new Federation friends... ::all walk towards the transportation room::

Host CO_Ayidee says:
@COM: Ju'Knows: I am trying to be polite, but you do not seem to want to aid that.  Who are you and why are you demanding our surrender?  We have just come for our missing team.  I am going to open an invitation for you to either come to my ship or to accept myself and a small team to yours to discuss this.  But it seems like it needs to be said, we will defend ourselves if needed.

CTO_LTJG_Q`ten says:
CNS/CIV: Get ready for anything to happen. Cherokee may not be able to beam us out of here for a while.

Host CO_Ayidee says:
@::Hits button on chair panel to mute audio.:: OPS: Take a look in Starfleet records for anything that might identify these beings and what they are doing here.
TO: Prepare a response if things do come to blows.  Minimize damage to their vessel but be ready if needed.

CIV_Capt_Marek says:
<Ju'Knows> ::as the team dematerializes:: COM : Cherokee: Sure, sure... We were here first and this new Federation wave will not change that... ::signals Dnt'Say to bring weapons on line and mumbles:: As soon as they take over the outpost ... shoot to starboard side.

CNS_Ens_Daniels says:
::Sits himself down on the desk near a computer console::

CTO_LTJG_Q`ten says:
::Checks his Phaser settings::

Host CO_Ayidee says:
@::Reopens audio:: COM: Ju'Knows: This planet is home to a sentient species and is not open to a "finder's keepers" policy so to speak.  Is that what brings you here, the mineral?

ACTION: A group of aliens from the new ship Transport into the outpost.  They are bipedal with a reptilian appearance.

CIV_Capt_Marek says:
<Faer'sur> ::materializes directly inside the outpost:: All: Federation! On your knees! now! now!

CTO_LTJG_Q`ten says:
::As soon as he recognizes a not Starfleet transporter beam he raises his Phaser:: Lizard Man: FREEZE! Who are you?

CIV_Capt_Marek says:
<Faer'sur> ::shoots warning shots passing very close to the AT heads::

CTO_LTJG_Q`ten says:
::Fires back...NOT a warning shot::

CNS_Ens_Daniels says:
::Stands and draws Phaser.  Shoots the reptile guys::

CTO_LTJG_Q`ten says:
::Dives for cover and resets his Phaser to vaporize::

CNS_Ens_Daniels says:
::Ducks behind the desk::

Host CO_Ayidee says:
@<TO> CO: Captain, analyzing the ship for weaknesses and formulating an attack plan.

CIV_Capt_Marek says:
<Faer'sur> ::thinks:: Ok you want it the hard way like the others... ::fires back and hit the old Vulcan in his shoulder::

CIV_Capt_Marek says:
::feels the burning in his left shoulder:: Self: Damn... I’m not as quick as before...

CNS_Ens_Daniels says:
::Continues to fire and duck::

CTO_LTJG_Q`ten says:
::Fires again at what seems to be the lead lizard::

CIV_Capt_Marek says:
::ducks and avoids the CTO shot:: Self: A little more aggressive than the others ah...

CIV_Capt_Marek says:
<Faer’sur>::manages to reach the place where the hurt Vulcan is ducking and overpowers him:: All: ::pointing at Marek's head:: Cease fire or this pointy ears fellows will be history

CIV_Capt_Marek says:
::starting to fade out::

CTO_LTJG_Q`ten says:
::Stops firing and signals for Wally to do the same::

CNS_Ens_Daniels says:
::Stops::

Host CO_Ayidee says:
@COM: Ju'Knows: Are you willing to speak or does this come to a different end?

CIV_Capt_Marek says:
<Faer’sur> All: Good call. ::let Marek fall down to the floor, unconscious:: Throw your weapons to me now! On your knees!!!

CTO_LTJG_Q`ten says:
::Throws his phaser AT the lizard's head and leaps toward him::

CIV_Capt_Marek says:
<Faer’sur> Camhier: Tell Ju’Knows we have taken control of the outpost... again...

CNS_Ens_Daniels says:
::Since the lizard guy doesn't have CIV shielding him, continues to fire::

CIV_Capt_Marek says:
<Camhier> ::shoots the CNS on his left leg::

CTO_LTJG_Q`ten says:
::Launches himself toward the lead lizards legs to knock him down::

CIV_Capt_Marek says:
<Camhier> CNS: Surrender or die!

CTO_LTJG_Q`ten says:
::Rolls the lizard man over and straddles him before giving him a Klingon head butt from hell::

@ACTION: The alien vessel fires on the Cherokee, penetrating her shields.

CNS_Ens_Daniels says:
::Still standing despite the pain and keeps shooting two other lizard guys::  Camhier: What?  And let you kill me?  I don't think so.  ::Fires and ducks::

Host CO_Ayidee says:
@<TO> CO/ OPS: Uh, somehow they punched right through our shields , minimal damage but those weapons should not have gotten through that easy!

CIV_Capt_Marek says:
<Faer’sur> ::shoots the CTO::

Host CO_Ayidee says:
@TO: Full shield nuation, randomize the frequencies.  Prepare to return fire.

Host CO_Ayidee says:
@<TO> CO: Firing solution ready.

CTO_LTJG_Q`ten says:
::Wraps his hands around the lizards neck and squeezes with what strength he has left::

Host CO_Ayidee says:
@TO: Engage return fire.

CIV_Capt_Marek says:
<Ju'Knows> COM: Cherokee: That's was your last warning... next time we will destroy you.

Host CO_Ayidee says:
@<TO>: ::Returns fire.::  CO: Their shields seem to be holding, Captain.  Not sure why we are having so many issues...

OPS_Cmdr_Nash says:
@::she notices that there is a message coming through, she reads it and is stunned when she reads who sent it.::  CO:  Um Captain. I have received a message in regards to the shield frequency of that ship out there. The message claims that we can easily penetrate their shields. And Sir....

Host CO_Ayidee says:
@OPS: Feed it to Tactical, and prepare the Transporter teams.  Let's beam their command crew off their Bridge and over here for a "chat".

OPS_Cmdr_Nash says:
@CO: The message is signed "J. Smith".

Host CO_Ayidee says:
@::Pauses.::  OPS: Do it anyway.

OPS_Cmdr_Nash says:
@::feeds the information to Tactical::

CTO_LTJG_Q`ten says:
Lizard Man: ::groaning::  You're gonna make a nice belt when I'm done with you.

Host CO_Ayidee says:
@<TO> ::Inputs new frequency and targets the other ship's weapons and then fires again.::

OPS_Cmdr_Nash says:
@::she prepares the Transporter Teams for the task at hand.::

CIV_Capt_Marek says:
<Faer'sur> CTO:  Is that an insult in your homeland? ::thinks:: It was easier the last time...

CIV_Capt_Marek says:
<Ju’Knows> Dnt'say: No news from the outpost?

CTO_LTJG_Q`ten says:
Lizard Man: It means I might even get a pair of boots out of this too.  You picked the wrong crew to mess with.

@ACTION: the Transporter teams initiate Transport using the other ship's shield modulation and attempt to beam the bridge crew to the Cherokee.

CNS_Ens_Daniels says:
CTO: I'm setting my Phaser to kill.  ::Does so and continues to fire at the other two, taking careful aim::

Host CO_Ayidee says:
@<TO> CO: Punched through the shields sir but I think our tactical scans are a bit...off.  Weapons undamaged, looks like we hit navigational systems.

Host CO_Ayidee says:
@TO: Keep trying.  I want them disarmed so we can assist the Away Team.

Host CO_Ayidee says:
@<TO> ::Fires another round, trying again to hit weapon systems.::

CIV_Capt_Marek says:
<Ju’Knows> Dnt'say: What is going on!!! The shield harmonics were supposed to reject their Phasers shots!!

CIV_Capt_Marek says:
<Dnt'say> Ju’Knows: I am aware of that! we have been cheated!!!

CIV_Capt_Marek says:
<Ju'Knows>  Dnt'say: Darn Federation traitors!

@ACTION: Ju'Knows and his Bridge crew are Transported to the Cherokee Bridge.

Host CO_Ayidee says:
@Ju'Knows: Welcome to the Cherokee.  Time to talk.  ::Nods to Security to keep an eye on them.::

CIV_Capt_Marek says:
<Ju’Knows> CO: What the he....
