The crew of the USS Cherokee, having tracked a suspect in the theft of the Avandar museum, are on New France about to take Scanlan Riegel into custody.

<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<Resume Mission>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>
Host Scanlan_Reigel says:
::Entering his dressing room, looking to put a bit of work into his latest rendition before heading out for the next show in the morning.::

TO_Lt_LVor says:
::LVor hurried to get to Riegel's dressing room ahead of the Away Team, to cut off any escape through any back doors, he gets to the dressing room, and holds fast awaiting the Captain and others.::
 
Host CO_Capt_Daniels says:
::Sitting at the table:: All: We shall we go backstage and congratulate Scanlan on a good show?

SO_Lt_Trix says:
::With the team on New France, watching as the suspect steps into a side room off the lounge.  Pulls up a building schematic on the PADD.::  All: According to specs, that room only has the door he passed through.  Labelled as "performer accommodations". If the blueprints are correct.

SO_Lt_Trix says:
CO: Yes sir, it would be rude not to complement him after such a show, right?

CEO_LtCmdr_Hull says:
CO:  Yes, I see that Lt. LVor is on point, he probably is at the dressing room door even now.

Host CO_Capt_Daniels says:
All: Let's go ::Stands and makes his way around tables and chairs to the door marked performer accommodations::

SO_Lt_Trix says:
::Follows the Captain, while seeing if ship's sensors can focus on the building to confirm the suspect is still in place.:: Self: Come on, don't give me the bypass game, focus in where I'm telling you to...blasted remote interface!

TO_Lt_LVor says:
::Holds the door knob as the Captain and party approach::

Host CO_Capt_Daniels says:
All: I suppose it is polite to knock.  ::Knocks on door::

TO_Lt_LVor says:
CO:  Captain, Riegel is still inside Sir!  

Host CO_Capt_Daniels says:
TO: Thank you.

Host Scanlan_Reigel says:
All: Yes?  Who is it?  ::Steps up, expecting that it is a fan looking for an autograph...or more.::

Host CO_Capt_Daniels says:
::Said through the door::  Scanlan: Some new fans wishing to meet you, Sir.

Host Scanlan_Reigel says:
::Reaches the door and pulls it open.:: All: Always glad to meet new fans.  And Starfleet!  Of all the fleets in the Federation, Starfleet is my favorite fleet by far!  ::Holds his hands out to either side in a welcoming gesture.::

TO_Lt_LVor says:
::follows his CO into the room, ready to take Riegel into custody.::

CEO_LtCmdr_Hull says:
::Enters the room, looking for evidence and whatever is in plain view::

Host CO_Capt_Daniels says:
Scanlan: I'm Captain Daniels.  This is Lieutenant Cmdr Hull, Lieutenant Trix, Ensign Granger, Lieutenant LVor...  And this here ::indicates JAG officer:: is your lawyer.

INFO: The room is simple, with a small bed, a desk and a small dresser.  A few generic paintings hang on the wall.

Host Scanlan_Reigel says:
CO: Uh, welcome Captain.  But my Lawyer?  I wasn't aware I had a Lawyer. I don't even have an agent, handle it all myself.

Host CO_Capt_Daniels says:
Scanlan: I'm afraid I have some bad news for you.  The reviews are in. I'm afraid we need to take you into custody to answer some questions.  We will be arresting you at this time and taking you to our ship.

Host CO_Capt_Daniels says:
TO: You may proceed, Mister LVor.

TO_Lt_LVor says:
CO:  Aye Sir!  

Host Scanlan_Reigel says:
CO: Oh my, this may be my worst review ever it seems.  Was it the second song?  I thought I was a little sharp there at the end...

Host CO_Capt_Daniels says:
Scanlan: The performance wasn't bad, you have talent.

TO_Lt_LVor says:
Riegel:  Mr. Riegel, you are under arrest for investigation of grand theft, you are my prisoner ::places hand restraints on Mr. Riegel's wrists, and holds him in place, in view of his JAG Lawyer::

OPS_Ens_Granger says:
All: I thought he sang all the songs wrong.

CEO_LtCmdr_Hull says:
TO:  Well done Lieutenant!  

Host Scanlan_Reigel says:
TO: Grand...oh, that.

Host JAG says:
Scanlan: I'd suggest you stop, just in case you say the wrong thing.

TO_Lt_LVor says:
CO: ::Nods in return to the CEO's compliment.::

Host CO_Capt_Daniels says:
SO: Can we beam up to our ship now, Lieutenant?

OPS_Ens_Granger says:
CO: I took the liberty of paying our bill, Sir.

SO_Lt_Trix says:
CO: I don't see a reason to delay, sir.  Sensors are clear. ::Pauses and adds more to herself.:: Even if they won't focus like I told them they should.

Host CO_Capt_Daniels says:
OPS: Thanks.  Be sure to submit a voucher and get paid back.

CEO_LtCmdr_Hull says:
OPS:  Why thank you Mr. Granger!  Forward thinking.

OPS_Ens_Granger says:
CO: Aye, Sir.

OPS_Ens_Granger says:
CEO: You're welcome. ::Smiles::

CEO_LtCmdr_Hull says:
CO: Shall we just beam out from this room Sir! Would be easier than having Mr. Riegel embarrassed by being guided out of the concert!

Host Scanlan_Reigel says:
All: I hope the accommodations are good, I'm used to first... ::Sees the glare from the JAG.:: class.

OPS_Ens_Granger says:
*Chief Otis*: Seven to beam up, Mister Otis.

ACTION: The Away Team is Transported to the Cherokee.

Host CO_Capt_Daniels says:
::Rematerializes in the Transporter Room:: TO: To the brig with our new guest, Lieutenant.  Remember, separate cells.

Host Scanlan_Reigel says:
TO: And remember, I have a strict meal regiment to keep!

TO_Lt_LVor says:
CO:  Yes, Sir!  ::Guides Riegel out the transporter room doors and down the corridor::

Host JAG says:
CO: Captain, once he is settled I'd like a few minutes to let him know just what he is in for.  I am hoping that his sense of humor is a matter of him not realizing what he is in for...

SO_Lt_Trix says:
::Once back on the ship pulls out the PADD she was working from and begins removing the new protocols installed the other day.  Obviously they did not do what she hoped they would.::

Host CO_Capt_Daniels says:
JAG: I think he knows why he's here but, he's your client.  Talk to him and the others as much as you like.  Eventually, and probably soon, I'm going to want to take a crack at all of the prisoners.

TO_Lt_LVor says:
Riegel: Not a problem Mr. Riegel, you can have whatever you like ::Makes a right and left into the Brig, passes the TO On-Duty, and into Cell #9::

TO_Lt_LVor says:
::Removes the hand shackles and introduces the Brig TO-onDuty, who takes charge of the new prisoner::

Host JAG says:
CO: Yes sir, the other three have been advised and are ready whenever you would like.  One of us needs to be present, of course, but otherwise they are ready.

Host Scanlan_Reigel says:
TO: Aw, those aren't souvenirs of the trip? Oh well, a lot more room than my current transport at least.

Host CO_Capt_Daniels says:
JAG: Thank you.  All: I'm going to the bridge.  Does anyone wish to join me?  ::Exits Transporter Room::

TO_Lt_LVor says:
Riegel:  Mr. Riegel, I hope you will be comfortable while you are with us, whatever you need, please let the Brig Tactical Officer know, they will accommodate you.  ::Turns and exits the cell, and the brig.::

OPS_Ens_Granger says:
CO: Of course, Sir.  ::Exits after CO::

SO_Lt_Trix says:
CO: On your six, Captain.  I have something that will be easier to work from the Bridge.  If it will work.

CEO_LtCmdr_Hull says:
::following the CO and SO to the Bridge::

Host Scanlan_Reigel says:
::Takes a seat in his cell, takes a deep breath, and then starts looking around at the "accommodations".::

Host CO_Capt_Daniels says:
OPS: I want you to clear it first and then bring Scanlan's shuttle aboard.  Might be worth a search.  ::Enters Turbolift::

CEO_LtCmdr_Hull says:
CO: That is an excellent idea Captain!  No telling what intel we can gather from his shuttle.  

Host CO_Capt_Daniels says:
CEO: Then I'll put you in charge of the search.  Take whatever crew you need.

OPS_Ens_Granger says:
::Exits Turbolift onto the bridge:: CO: Aye, Sir.  ::Takes his place at OPS::

Host JAG says:
::Heads to the Brig, hoping this Riegel character isn't as hard to deal with as he seems.::

CEO_LtCmdr_Hull says:
CO:  Yes Sir!  As soon as it is secured in the main hangar deck, we'll get on it right away!

SO_Lt_Trix says:
::Steps off Turbolift and to SCI 1.  Starts seeing if there might be a way to increase our scanning capability using other ship and station sensors.::

Host CO_Capt_Daniels says:
::Takes his seat::  CEO: Sounds like a plan.

CEO_LtCmdr_Hull says:
OPS:  Mr. Granger, let me know when Riegel's shuttle is secured onboard, I'll be in main engineering putting the search team together.  

OPS_Ens_Granger says:
CEO: Aye, Sir.

CEO_LtCmdr_Hull says:
SO:  Lieutenant Trix, I hope you'll join us when we pop open the hatch! ::grins::

OPS_Ens_Granger says:
::Goes about following his orders::

SO_Lt_Trix says:
CEO: Yes sir, if you need me I'll be there.  Just trying to see if we can get a bit more proactive in our search, but that's going to take some setup anyway.  Just let me know when.

CEO_LtCmdr_Hull says:
SO: Will do! ::Turns and heads to the nearest TL, taking it to Main Engineering::

Host CO_Capt_Daniels says:
All: We need to figure out where to go next.  I don't think the dog groomer is involved but, we still need to check it out.

INFO: The request for taking the shuttle into evidence is cleared, Starfleet Intel anticipated the possibility and laid the ground work.

SO_Lt_Trix says:
CO: Aye sir, groomer had a legit reason to be there, but a quick check can't hurt.

OPS_Ens_Granger says:
::Uses industrial transporter to bring Scanlan's shuttle aboard the Cherokee::

SO_Lt_Trix says:
CO: I've been working on a plan, a way around the limited ability of our sensors to sense an Elway shift when it happens.  But it will require a bit of linking the search into other Starfleet sensors.  If a jump happens in a system a Starfleet presence is in, there's a good chance they might detect it.

OPS_Ens_Granger says:
*CEO*: The shuttle is aboard, Sir.

Host CO_Capt_Daniels says:
SO: Let's do that.  You can head that project.

SO_Lt_Trix says:
CO: Thank you sir.  Pretty sure we can just put out an energy signal to look for, that way we don't have to advertise what it is we are after.

CEO_LtCmdr_Hull says:
::Arrives on Deck 24 and enters Main Engineering.::

SO_Lt_Trix says:
CO: It will only work if someone actually uses the Elway Shift, but if they do it would greatly increase the chance of it being seen.

Host CO_Capt_Daniels says:
FCO: Set a course for Beta Rigel and engage at warp 7.

CEO_LtCmdr_Hull says:
Duty Engineer:  ::Walks up to the Duty Engineering Console::  We need a search team put together for searching a leased shuttle, it will be transported by the ship's industrial transporters and placed in the main shuttle hangar, we will need the usual experts for each of the shuttle's main components.  Mr. Granger will let us know when its aboard.  We'll also ask Lieutenant Trix to join the team.

CEO_LtCmdr_Hull says:
<Duty Engineer> CEO:  Aye Sir!  The team will be ready and tasked on the duty roster.

CEO_LtCmdr_Hull says:
Duty Engineer:  Very well, anything else going on? 
 
CEO_LtCmdr_Hull says:
<Duty Engineer> CEO:  No Sir, everything is nominal and in the green ::smiles::

OPS_Ens_Granger says:
*CEO*: Scanlan's rental is just where you wanted it, Sir.

CEO_LtCmdr_Hull says:
*OPS*:  Thank you Mr. Granger, would you advise Lt. Trix of that, the team will be on the hangar deck in 20 minutes.

Host CO_Capt_Daniels says:
<aFCO>: CO: Aye, Sir.  Warp 7.

OPS_Ens_Granger says:
CEO: Aye, Sir.

OPS_Ens_Granger says:
SO: Commander Hull would like your company in the main hanger in twenty minutes, Ma'am.

CEO_LtCmdr_Hull says:
::Heads to his CEO Office, and grabs a tricorder, and catches up with the engineering search team heading to main hangar bay::
