USS DON JOHNSON, NCC-61701
SD 10309.25
The Wash, Part V

SUMMARY: The DJ has been crippled by the pirate mother ship, he warp drive is down. And to make matters worse, the much-heralded "Flash Over" event is in progress. The DJ really needs to get out of the system; in fact, she shouldn't have gone into the system in the first place. Serves them right. In less than four minutes, the immense shock wave will wash over the DJ, Orca Drift and the pirate ship. The Drift is safe; the multi-phasic shields will protect it. The pirate ship at least still has warp speed.

Host CO Hawkes says:
::On the bridge::

FCO Ens Harris says:
::at the conn::

Host XO Adrel says:
ALL: Status!

CSO Cmdr Sea says:
CO: I will attempt to hack into the Station’s computers and order it to extend shields around us.

Host CO Hawkes says:
CSO: Very good, keep at it.

Host Loren says:
ACTION: DJ is 10 000 km from Orca drift, the massive shock wave is approaching, On the bridge, alarms are sounding all over the place.

CNS Shirley says:
::sits at the OPS station::

CSO Cmdr Sea says:
Computer: This is a priority one task, use all resources to hack into the station computers and order it to extend shields around us.

FCO Ens Harris says:
::not good that shock wave is getting closer::

CMO LtCmdr Sea says:
::running around Sickbay coordinating the effort to give everyone a dose of anti-radiation::

Host XO Adrel says:
CO: It seems like I may face death once again today. I hope I can beat it a 2nd time.

Host Tom Ruger says:
@COM. DJ: Don Johnson, this is Tom Ruger on board Orca Drift, what is going on, the shock wave is approaching, you'd better high tail it out of here.

Host Tom Ruger says:
<LCARS> CSO: Working.

Host CO Hawkes says:
XO: You and me both. ::Smiles...tries to make it look natural::

Host XO Adrel says:
::looks at everyone waiting for her status reports::

CEO Lt Shirley says:
::looking over the station::

CSO Cmdr Sea says:
CO: Suggest attaching tractor to pirate ship.

FCO Ens Harris says:
*CEO*: I could use that warp drive any time, please.

Host CO Hawkes says:
COM: ::on a coded freq.:: Orca Drift: If you could extend your shields around us, that would be appreciated. We're without warp.

CMO LtCmdr Sea says:
*XO*: It might not help, but an evacuation is under way of all family members to the most shielded areas of the ship.

CEO Lt Shirley says:
FCO: the warp drive is offline.

CEO Lt Shirley says:
Computer: reroute all power to warp core and restart.

CMO LtCmdr Sea says:
~~~Children: Hurry Paladine and Tranquility, you must rush to be safe from the radiation~~~

Host Tom Ruger says:
@COM. Hawkes: I can, why don't you just get out of the system?

Host XO Adrel says:
*CMO*: Thank you, LtCmdr. Let me know how things progress.

Host CO Hawkes says:
COM: Ruger: I would if I could.

Host CO Hawkes says:
CNS: Attempt to tractor the pirate ship. Grapple too if you can.

CNS Shirley says:
CO: Yes, Sir...

CNS Shirley says:
::attempts to tractor the prate ship::

CEO Lt Shirley says:
Computer: reroute all power to shields

CSO Cmdr Sea says:
CO: I suggest, if all else fails, we jettision the port nacelle and attempt to run on one engine

CTO Ens Beokeown says:
::Working at his console::

Host Tom Ruger says:
ACTION: Excessive radiation in the system have rendered the tractor system useless.

CEO Lt Shirley says:
CO: Sir, you might want to go ahead send signal out to SB 279 we will need a tow

Host XO Adrel says:
CEO: Do you need help, Lt?

Host CO Hawkes says:
CSO: It's a thought, but it'd be a last ditch attempt. The chances of getting everything balanced in time are slim.

CNS Shirley says:
::tries to use the grapple::

CEO Lt Shirley says:
XO: I could use all the help to get system to put their power to shields.

CSO Cmdr Sea says:
::opens file on explosive bolts on port warp nacelle::

CMO LtCmdr Sea says:
::would go to the bridge if there were time::

Host Tom Ruger says:
ACTION: Pirate ship turns, and points nose out of the system, begins to move. On DJ bridge, urgent alarms sound. 3 minutes to impact.

Host CO Hawkes says:
CSO: Make ready to jettison if grapple fails.

CSO Cmdr Sea says:
CO: I am continuing to attempt to override the station.

Host CO Hawkes says:
::nods at the CSO::

CEO Lt Shirley says:
Computer: Shield power level.

CSO Cmdr Sea says:
CO: There she goes.

CSO Cmdr Sea says:
CO: Pirate ship is exiting.

Host XO Adrel says:
CEO; I'm not much of an engineer but tell me what to do and I'll help you get this ship going.

Host Tom Ruger says:
@COM: Hawkes: Don Johnson, we show you having damage to your nacelle, I take it you can't warp out of the system

CEO Lt Shirley says:
XO: What we could do once again is take odd decks offline and route the power to shields.

Host Tom Ruger says:
<LCARS> CEO: Shields are at 45%

Host CO Hawkes says:
COM: Ruger: That's right.

CTO Ens Beokeown says:
Self: Hey, maybe my second close call with death today...

CSO Cmdr Sea says:
CEO: Begin simulations for single warp flight.

Host Tom Ruger says:
@COM: Hawkes: Don Johnson, Move to within 500 meters of us, we will extend our shields.

Host CO Hawkes says:
CNS: Grapple that ship before she's out of range.

Host XO Adrel says:
CEO: Okay, will do that ::moves to an ENG station on the bridge::

CNS Shirley says:
::tries to use the grapple:: CO: Yes, Sir.

CTO Ens Beokeown says:
XO: Orders, Ma'am?

FCO Ens Harris says:
CO: Sir, I have an idea ::hands a notepad to the CO::

CEO Lt Shirley says:
CTO: Take phaser power out and move it to shields.

CEO Lt Shirley says:
CO: Sir, you might want to go ahead send signal out to SB 279 that we will need a tow.

Host XO Adrel says:
CTO: Continue coordinating defenses. Check on our shuttles and have someone check that shuttle in shuttle bay to see if the saboteur left something behind.

Host Tom Ruger says:
ACTION: Pirate ship fires her phaser at the grapple from the DJ, severing the link, she then engages her warp drive and leaves the system.

Host CO Hawkes says:
FCO: Prepare to move us to within 500 m of the station. Then engage.

CMO LtCmdr Sea says:
::feels a slight rock from the severed grapple::

FCO Ens Harris says:
CO: Aye, sir.

Host Tom Ruger says:
@COM: Hawkes: Captain Hawkes, we have a slight problem here.

CEO Lt Shirley says:
*CMO*: How many people do you have in your lab and sickbay?

CMO LtCmdr Sea says:
::doesn't look at her terminal, doesn't want to watch the clock tick down::

CTO Ens Beokeown says:
::Moves phaser power to the shields:: XO: Want me to take a team? Did you want to come along this time again?

FCO Ens Harris says:
::moves the ship 500 m of the station::

Host XO Adrel says:
::checks which deck still has power and takes some more offline making sure to notify personnel so they move out::

FCO Ens Harris says:
CO: Ready.

CMO LtCmdr Sea says:
*CEO*: Approximately 30, why?

Host CO Hawkes says:
COM: Ruger: Yeah? What sort of problem?

Host XO Adrel says:
CTO: You better send a team down there. I guess it's best we don't go near a shuttle bay for a while.

Host CO Hawkes says:
FCO: Thank you, Ens.

CEO Lt Shirley says:
*CMO*: Can you clear all your labs where we can move power to shields and level sickbay up fully?

CMO LtCmdr Sea says:
*CEO*: Aye, working on it.

CMO LtCmdr Sea says:
::makes it so::

CTO Ens Beokeown says:
::Gives a pout face:: XO: But we always have so much fun... ::Calls up a security team::

Host CO Hawkes says:
::Glances at the FCO's padd::

CEO Lt Shirley says:
Computer: Shield power level.

Host Tom Ruger says:
@COM: Hawkes: My engineer tells me, that extending our shields around your ship will only partly protect your ship. Your vessel will be flooded with radiation and isoletic particles.  

CSO Cmdr Sea says:
CO: When we reach one minute to impact, I suggest we jettison the nacelle and take our chances

Host Tom Ruger says:
<LCARS> CEO: Shields are at 45%

Host XO Adrel says:
CEO: Good idea. I took a few decks offline and notified the personnel so they move out. We are going to get crowded on the decks with power but better that then die.

CEO Lt Shirley says:
:: kicks station:: Self: I have gave you more power.

Host CO Hawkes says:
COM: Ruger: Thanks for the update.

Host XO Adrel says:
CTO: I'll pass this time.

CSO Cmdr Sea says:
CO: Tell the station to drop her shields and we will dock.

CMO LtCmdr Sea says:
~~~CSO: We're all counting on you to deliver us, John, don't let me down ::smiles mentally::~~~

Host Tom Ruger says:
<LCARS> ALL: Alert! Approaching class one shock wave, impact in two minutes.

CEO Lt Shirley says:
XO: Maybe we can transport some the personnel to the station?

Host CO Hawkes says:
COM: Ruger: Can you drop shields and allow us to dock?

CNS Shirley says:
::looks over at the CEO::

Host CO Hawkes says:
CSO: If the station answers no, make it happen.

CTO Ens Beokeown says:
::Sends a security team to check out the once stolen shuttle, playing it safe this time and staying put::

CSO Cmdr Sea says:
~~~CSO: At least the Children will survive, River will gate out~~~

CSO Cmdr Sea says:
CEO: Prepare to jettison port nacelle.

CEO Lt Shirley says:
CSO: Aye.

Host Tom Ruger says:
@COM: Hawkes: Captain, forgive me, were you not already told that you were not to come a board this facility?

CMO LtCmdr Sea says:
~~~CSO: As the time slips from us, I just wanted you to know how much I love you and always will~~~

FCO Ens Harris says:
CO: Sir, looks like one shock wave is going to hit us ETA 2 minutes.

CSO Cmdr Sea says:
~~~CMO: Aye, blossom.~~~

CMO LtCmdr Sea says:
::goes back to work::

Host XO Adrel says:
CO: The decks with power are getting cramped up. It would be best that the station lets us dock so we can transfer at least some and spare a few lives if possible.

CEO Lt Shirley says:
CNS: Alert all ENG teams to stand by.

Host CO Hawkes says:
COM: Ruger: So you'll let us die on a point of protocol. Thank you very much. May you live in interesting times! Hawkes out.

CSO Cmdr Sea says:
CO: They can lodge a formal complaint after we survive! ::irritated at the station::

Host Tom Ruger says:
@COM. Hawkes: Actually, something has happened to enlist me to alter that standing order, I am prepared to beam your entire crew to one of our empty cargo bays.

CNS Shirley says:
CEO: All right... ::alerts all engineering teams to stand by::

Host CO Hawkes says:
COM: Ruger: Very well, what do you need us to do?

CSO Cmdr Sea says:
CO: He will have to lower shields to do that he should let us dock.

CEO Lt Shirley says:
CO: I recommend you lock the computer out if we are beamed off the ship.

Host CO Hawkes says:
CTO: Have the crew arm themselves.

Host CO Hawkes says:
CEO: Make it happen.

Host XO Adrel says:
::wonder what has happened to make him change ideas::

CSO Cmdr Sea says:
CO: I am going to lock out the main computer

Host CO Hawkes says:
CEO: If anyone tampers, have a silent count down to destruction occur. ::enters codes::

CTO Ens Beokeown says:
::Looks around the bridge:: XO: No problem ma'am , but why? ::starts walking to the weapon locker::

Host Tom Ruger says:
@COM: Hawkes: We are sending you transport co-ordinates, I recommend we link all our transporters together to try a mass transport.

CEO Lt Shirley says:
Computer: Lock out main computer from everyone. Code access only from CO, XO, CSO, and CEO. Set computer to and ship to blow up.

CSO Cmdr Sea says:
::inputs fractal encryption code::

Host Tom Ruger says:
<LCARS>  Beeps in response to the CEO's command.

Host CO Hawkes says:
COM: Ruger: Thank you. ::routes the coordinates to CNS at OPS::

CEO Lt Shirley says:
CO: Done, Sir.

Host CO Hawkes says:
CNS: Link all the transporters to these coordinates. Announce abandon ship!

Host Tom Ruger says:
ACTION: The DJ enters the requested range of the Drift, the multi-phasic shields are extended to envelop the DJ.

CEO Lt Shirley says:
Computer: Once no life signs aboard, power ship down.

Host XO Adrel says:
::gets up from the station and heads towards the CO:: CO: Weird he suddenly change his mind, but I guess we don't have time to investigate before we get there. Seems we'll beat death once again, Captain.

Host Tom Ruger says:
<LCARS> ALL: Alert! Approaching class one shock wave, impact in one minute.

Host CO Hawkes says:
CTO: And lock down the shuttle bay, in case that shuttle is some sort of Trojan horse.

Host Tom Ruger says:
<LCARS> Beeps in response to the CEO's command.

Host CO Hawkes says:
::Graps a phaser and tricorder:: XO: Get everyone off. I'll be the last to leave.

CEO Lt Shirley says:
::say aloud:: Computer: Stupid computer I'm tired of your damn beeping talk why don’t you…

CNS Shirley says:
CO: Yes, Sir. ::links all transporters to these coordinates:: ALL: Abandon ship...

CSO Cmdr Sea says:
::physically removes key isolinear chips from the bridge processor and pockets them::

CMO LtCmdr Sea says:
::looks up at the ceiling, towards where the bridge::

Host Tom Ruger says:
@COM: Hawkes: Captain, you need to link your transporters to our trans codex, now.

Host Tom Ruger says:
<LCARS> Chirps harshly at the CEO.

CEO Lt Shirley says:
::Grabs Phaser::

CTO Ens Beokeown says:
*TO Donovan*: Lock down shuttle bay, and take precautionary measures ::nods to the XO::

Host CO Hawkes says:
COM: Ruger: Our OPS is on it ::meaning the CNS, but they don't need to know that::

CMO LtCmdr Sea says:
::tells the children they will be safe, that they will be leaving the ship shortly::

CEO Lt Shirley says:
::kick the computer console::

CSO Cmdr Sea says:
CEO: What is that beeping?

CEO Lt Shirley says:
CSO: Nothing, just fighting with the Computer.

CTO Ens Beokeown says:
<TO Donovan> *CTO*: Right away sir :: heads off to do as ordered::

Host Tom Ruger says:
ACTION: CNS gets confirmation of transporter link.

Host CO Hawkes says:
::steps to his RR and grabs his Katana. Everyone always says never to grab anything, but a lot of people will be leaving first anyway::

CSO Cmdr Sea says:
::looks at Eng display::

Host Tom Ruger says:
<LCARS> ALL: Alert!  Approaching class one shock wave, impact in 30 seconds

Host XO Adrel says:
CO: A captain always leaves last, I know.

Host CO Hawkes says:
::returns to the bridge::

Host XO Adrel says:
::gets her phaser and waits for the bridge to clear out::

FCO Ens Harris says:
XO: Sir, that shock wave is going to hits us in 30 seconds.

CMO LtCmdr Sea says:
::grabs a phaser and makes sure her team is also armed, stands and awaits the transport::

FCO Ens Harris says:
::gets up and heads for the TL::

CSO Cmdr Sea says:
CO: Now that we are inside the shields, let’s dock.

Host XO Adrel says:
FCO: I've heard, Ens. Get out, now.

Host CO Hawkes says:
All: Clear the bridge!

CEO Lt Shirley says:
::head to TL::

Host CO Hawkes says:
CSO: I don't think there’s time. Evacuate!

CTO Ens Beokeown says:
::Alerts his teams around the ship and grabs his phaser and heads for the TL::

FCO Ens Harris says:
::heads to TL::

CSO Cmdr Sea says:
::leaves::

CNS Shirley says:
::heads to TL::

CEO Lt Shirley says:
::say aloud:: Computer: Computer, have a nice time.

CMO LtCmdr Sea says:
::exits sickbay and heads to the closest transporter room::

CTO Ens Beokeown says:
XO: Coming...?

CEO Lt Shirley says:
*ENG*: Clear out!

CSO Cmdr Sea says:
CMO: Hiya

Host XO Adrel says:
CTO: I'm waiting for the bridge to clear out. Go...

CMO LtCmdr Sea says:
::can feel that River has all the children in hand and heading towards her location::

Host Tom Ruger says:
ACTION: Transport is initiated from the Drift, all transporter units on the drift and on the DJ active, locking onto any and all crewmembers, in an instant, EVERYONE is beamed to the drift, cargo bay 1.

CMO LtCmdr Sea says:
::opens eyes and turns looking for the twins::

CTO Ens Beokeown says:
::Shakes head:: XO: Not till you come with.

Host CO Hawkes says:
::looks around and checks for his gear::

CEO Lt Shirley says:
CO: I recommend we set a security guy around the non-Starfleet personal and family.

Host Tom Ruger says:
ACTION: A dull vibration is felt all over, the shock wave approaches.

Host XO Adrel says:
::looks around and walks a bit to see if everyone is okay::

Host XO Adrel says:
CTO: Have your crew in place at the exits of the Cargo Bay.

FCO Ens Harris says:
::looks out the window::

CSO Cmdr Sea says:
::sets watch to countdown::

CMO LtCmdr Sea says:
::grabs the twins in her arms, bringing herself to her knees so she can hug all three, including River to her as the wave passes::

CEO Lt Shirley says:
XO: I recommend we set a security guy around the non-Starfleet personal and family.

Host Tom Ruger says:
ACTION: The vibration gets progressively worse for about 15 seconds, then begins to subside, as the wave passes.

CSO Cmdr Sea says:
::with his family::

Host XO Adrel says:
CEO: Already on it, Lt.

Host XO Adrel says:
CTO: And have a few personnel here and there in case.

CMO LtCmdr Sea says:
::holds John's hand and looks into the blue eyes::

CSO Cmdr Sea says:
::smoothes his wife's flame hair::

CEO Lt Shirley says:
CO: Do we know if the ship powered down and locked out?

Host Tom Ruger says:
::walks into cargo bay with a security detail of 12::  All: Where is Captain Hawkes?

CMO LtCmdr Sea says:
::exhales and smiles, doesn't want to worry those around her::

Host CO Hawkes says:
::Checks the power setting on his phaser, sets it to heavy stun, then pulls out his tricorder, and scans for life signs hoping it matches the crew compliment.::

CSO Cmdr Sea says:
::whispers:: CO: I suggest someone impersonate you.

Host Tom Ruger says:
::motions for his security detail to spread out and take position::

Host CO Hawkes says:
::Without looking up:: CEO: If my tricorder will penetrate the MP shielding, we should be able to link with the ship's computer.

FCO Ens Harris says:
CSO: I will do it.

CMO LtCmdr Sea says:
::is a bit alarmed at the welcoming committee::

CTO Ens Beokeown says:
XO: Yes, yes, already working on it.

CNS Shirley says:
::just looks around ::

CEO Lt Shirley says:
::walks closer to the CO and watches the person that just came in::

Host CO Hawkes says:
CSO: But nobody here looks as good as I do... who'd buy it? ::Smiles ::

Host XO Adrel says:
::approaches the CMO:: CMO: I see you've gathered your family. Can you make sure you have MED here and there in case someone panics or is injured? We are so crowded in here, you never know.

CSO Cmdr Sea says:
CO: You know they are pirates.

FCO Ens Harris says:
::walks up to the CO::

Host XO Adrel says:
::nods at the CTO::

CMO LtCmdr Sea says:
::sets her phaser to stun and motions nurse Betty to herd the family members away from the active duty::

CTO Ens Beokeown says:
::Looks around::

CEO Lt Shirley says:
:: link with ship to  check to see if it powered down and locked out::

Host Tom Ruger says:
::looks around::  ALL: Hawkes!

Host CO Hawkes says:
::Hands the tricorder to the CEO, then walks through the throng to Ruger::

CMO LtCmdr Sea says:
::nods at the XO:: XO: however, I only have this one medkit, we'll manage though.

Host CO Hawkes says:
Ruger: I'm Hawkes. Thank you sir. ::extends his hand::

Host XO Adrel says:
CMO: I'm sure you'll do the best you can.

CEO Lt Shirley says:
:: link with ship to check to see if it powered down and locked out::

CTO Ens Beokeown says:
::Motions for a few security personal to move over to where the families and civilians are located::

FCO Ens Harris says:
::stands there looking around::

Host Tom Ruger says:
::looks at the man:: Hawkes: Captain, welcome to Orca Drift. ::shakes his hand::

CMO LtCmdr Sea says:
::nods to the CTO::

Host XO Adrel says:
::approaches the CO:: CO: Sir, sorry to disturb you. I have Sec personnel deployed around the CB as well as MED.

Host CO Hawkes says:
XO: Thank you commander.

Host CO Hawkes says:
Ruger: This is Commander Adrel, my first officer.

CTO Ens Beokeown says:
::Notices the CMO:: CMO: Everything all right?

Host XO Adrel says:
Ruger: Thank you for having us aboard, sir. ::extends her hand::

Host Tom Ruger says:
Hawkes: Captain, I'm afraid we have a bit of a problem here, something has been going on, something without my knowledge.

CMO LtCmdr Sea says:
::smiles:: CTO: No, just my way of thanking you for seeing to the security of the family members and civilians

Host Tom Ruger says:
::shakes the XO's hand, smiles, and winks::

CSO Cmdr Sea says:
::turns away and removes 2 pips::

CEO Lt Shirley says:
CTO: Can I see you a minute?

Host CO Hawkes says:
Ruger: ::feigning surprise:: Oh, and what is that?

CSO Cmdr Sea says:
::pockets them::

CMO LtCmdr Sea says:
::places her phaser in her jacket::

CTO Ens Beokeown says:
::Nods again to the CMO:: CMO: Need anything, just ask, ::heads over to the CEO:: CEO: Yes, Sir?

CSO Cmdr Sea says:
::whispers:: Megan: Remove your senior rank.

Host Tom Ruger says:
Hawkes: Taris Bree, I guess our former station administrator, was involved, it seems with the very same pirates that were attacking us, she set out shields to fail, allowing them to board the drift and clean out the rest of the storage bays.

CMO LtCmdr Sea says:
~~~CSO: Will do~~~

CEO Lt Shirley says:
CTO: Place 2 guard around the CO and XO at all times. while aboard the station... :: Hides phaser::

CMO LtCmdr Sea says:
::pockets two of her pips::

CEO Lt Shirley says:
::removes Rank::

Host CO Hawkes says:
Ruger: And is she still aboard, or any pirates?

CSO Cmdr Sea says:
::slouches a bit::

Host Tom Ruger says:
ACTION: Drift guards move to perimeter walls of cargo bay.

CTO Ens Beokeown says:
CEO: I do not think that wise, I will stay close if you wish to.

CEO Lt Shirley says:
CTO: Aye. Just make sure they have 2 guards with them at all times...

FCO Ens Harris says:
::stands there looking around at every thing::

Host Tom Ruger says:
Hawkes: Unfortunately, she doesn't seem to be on the drift, she is likely with her pirates.

CMO LtCmdr Sea says:
::watches the Drift guards, praying they will leave the families alone::

Host CO Hawkes says:
::eyes the guards peripherally::

CTO Ens Beokeown says:
CEO: I do not have the manpower to do so, I will do ::Moves over closer to the CO and XO::

Host CO Hawkes says:
Ruger: ::nods:: I see. So you'd like us to go after her I gather?

CEO Lt Shirley says:
::Walks up to one the guards get to close to the families::

CSO Cmdr Sea says:
::moves towards the medical personnel::

Host Tom Ruger says:
Hawkes: There is something else.

Host XO Adrel says:
::listens to the conversation between Hawkes and Ruger as she looks around at the Drift guards moving in place::

CMO LtCmdr Sea says:
::turns and watches the CSO move in her direction::

CEO Lt Shirley says:
CTO: Get some ENG team to help you out.

Host Tom Ruger says:
<D-Guard 1>  ::cocks his weapon, looks a bit twitchy::

Host CO Hawkes says:
Ruger: Yes?

CSO Cmdr Sea says:
::acts like a medical assistant::

CTO Ens Beokeown says:
::Moves up behind the XO:: XO: Everything all right over here?

CMO LtCmdr Sea says:
::hands John a medical tricorder::

CMO LtCmdr Sea says:
::turns around, watching the guards::

Host Tom Ruger says:
Hawkes: We found an opened storage bay, one that was supposed to have been closed off years ago. There is evidence that they were using it to store Keltrazan.

CEO Lt Shirley says:
::heads back over and stand by the CO::

Host XO Adrel says:
CTO: Yes... ::looks at Beokeown's collar and notices he removed ... :: yes... thank you... ::turns back to the conversation::

Host CO Hawkes says:
Ruger: Keltrazan? What's that? ::manages to keep his eyebrows from shooting up in alarm::

FCO Ens Harris says:
::walks around::

CTO Ens Beokeown says:
::Moves back a few feet, and looks around::

Host Tom Ruger says:
Hawkes: It’s a rare element. I would have thought you'd know about it, being that it is banned by the Federation

CEO Lt Shirley says:
::whispers:: FCO: Are you armed, Ens?

FCO Ens Harris says:
::whispers:: CEO: No, why?

Host Tom Ruger says:
<D-Guard 1> ::moves to a higher vantage point::

CNS Shirley says:
::rubs my head::

CEO Lt Shirley says:
::hands FCO spare phaser:: FCO: Guard the families and children.

CMO LtCmdr Sea says:
::has a bad feeling about this::

Host CO Hawkes says:
Ruger: Well ::smiles sheepishly:: I'm pretty new at CO. I must not have got the briefing yet. But if it's banned, that is serious. ::Thinks WOW...this is bad::

FCO Ens Harris says:
::whispers:: CEO: Got it.

Host XO Adrel says:
Ruger: Can you tell us more about it? Is it lethal?

FCO Ens Harris says:
::hides phaser and stand near the families and children::

CEO Lt Shirley says:
CNS: Can you find Redman and Blackie?

Host Tom Ruger says:
Hawkes:  Yeah, so now I am going to have to fill out kilometers of paper work, I suspect the Federation will shut us down over this one. This system shouldn't have been able to product this element, the star's are all wrong for it.

CNS Shirley says:
CEO: I already killed them.

Host CO Hawkes says:
Ruger: Well then, how soon can we return to our ship and get after her? The sooner the better.

CEO Lt Shirley says:
::Glares At the CNS::

Host Tom Ruger says:
::looks at the XO:: XO: Lethal, only if its delivered the correct way... So I've been able to read.

CTO Ens Beokeown says:
:: feels a bit uneasy, and steps a bit closer to the XO::

Host CO Hawkes says:
Ruger: I can't say what will happen, but helping us should go a long way with mitigating circumstances.

Host CO Hawkes says:
Ruger: And I for one would put in a good word for the station.

Host XO Adrel says:
::nods in agreement to the CO::

Host Tom Ruger says:
Hawkes: I want it made clear Captain that I had no knowledge of what she was doing. ::looks around nervously::

CTO Ens Beokeown says:
::Looks over Ruger very carefully::

CEO Lt Shirley says:
XO: Maybe we could ask the station to call SB 279 to send the Tug back out.

Host CO Hawkes says:
Ruger: Well, surely Starfleet will investigate... that can't be helped, but if you are indeed innocent as you say, you have nothing to fear. ::wishes for once he were empathic:: Remember, we're the quixotic ones. ::smiles warmly::

Host Tom Ruger says:
::leans closer to the Captain:: Hawkes: Captain, I'm afraid that I can't be sure, who on this drift were working with Bree, I think its safe to say, someone here knows what was going on, someone who won't want to be discovered.

Host CO Hawkes says:
::whispers:: Ruger: That would only make sense.

Host Tom Ruger says:
<D-Guard 1> ::Raises his phaser rifle, knocks over a small crate, which falls to the floor as he takes a bead on the CO::

Host XO Adrel says:
::nods at the CEO to show she understood:: CO: Sir, in order to go after her, we will need the ship to be repaired.

Host CO Hawkes says:
Ruger: Perhaps the best thing to do would be to let us return to the ship. Put on a big show that we're going after her, then look for any comms from someone who'd want to warn her.

CSO Cmdr Sea says:
ALL: Gun!

CMO LtCmdr Sea says:
::her mental shielding slips slightly as she looks towards the guard:: CO: ::shouts;: DUCK!

CEO Lt Shirley says:
::steps back and puts hand in pocket and looks at the guard but makes no move::

Host CO Hawkes says:
::Steps over next to Ruger::

Host XO Adrel says:
::gets her phaser out and points at the guard::

Host Tom Ruger says:
