Mission Summary 10604.20
Host Susan says:
The USS Don Johnson crew reached Starbase 245 without incident. However, their relaxation soon ended as the station alarms blared intruder alert.
The alert was short lived, however, although they briefly met and were able to socialize with the crew of the USS Charlottetown, terrible incidents occurred.
The CMO of the USS Charlottetown was transported away from where she was talking with the ship's XO. Meanwhile the FCO of the USS Don Johnson was taken from where she was speaking with two of her fellow crewmates in the cargo bay where a celebration was in progress.
Host Susan says:
The two ships set off in pursuit of a ship that left the station shortly after the disappearance of the two officers. A third officer, the CNS of the Don Johnson is believed to be missing and possibly abducted along with the others.
Host Susan says:
The identification numbers of the departing ship was traced to the SS Antria, a ship that was sent for salvaged and supposedly dismantled. Will the two ships capture their quarry and will the missing officers be on board?

ACTION: The Antria sets course toward the badlands.
Host Cairn says:
@FCO: Interrogation room.
XO Arca says:
CIV: Work with Mr. Mahl on tracking down this ship
XO Arca says:
::Moves into the captain chair
FCO Newell says:
@Cairn: For what purpose?  I don't know anything.
CO Shemara Arca says:
::Sits in her couch and does some reflecting on the past events of her crew and the plight of the DJ and the loss of the Sabertooth::
Host Cairn says:
@::Doesn't say anymore until they are passed the two guards:: FCO: Just cooperate...::whispers:: I'll explain when I can...::louder:: It'll be a lot easier on you.
Host Cairn says:
@FCO: We do more than interrogate in that room
XO Arca says:
CIV: Do we have an ETA till we have intercept them?
CTO Mahl says:
XO: The last on the departments just reported in.  Everyone is accounted for... ::hears a beeping on his console:: Belay that.  The CNS seems to be missing.
FCO Newell says:
@Cairn: That's what I'm concerned about.  What do you want from me?
CIV Turok says:
XO: Yes sir.
Host Cairn says:
@FCO: You're to be sold at auction.

XO Arca says:
CTO: Understood
FCO Newell says:
@::Tries to pull away:: Cairn: No!  My ship will come and destroy you!
XO Arca says:
CTO: What information do we have on the ship?
CTO Mahl says:
::Receives one more notification:: XO: We seem to be without a pilot as well.  FCO Newell seems to be missing also.
XO Arca says:
CTO: Well that two reasons to stop that ship
Host Cairn says:
@FCO: What's with your friends back there? One is crying and the other acts indifferent.
FCO Newell says:
@Cairn: What concern is that of yours?
CTO Mahl says:
XO: The ship has minimal weaponry.  However, there is a shielded area inside their hold.
Host Cairn says:
@::Holds tighter:: FCO: Just come quietly.::Pushes her into the room:: Your ship doesn't have a clue where you are.
CIV Turok says:
XO: Twelve minutes to intercept sir.
FCO Newell says:
@Cairn: Don't be too sure about that.  They have ways of finding things out.
Host Cairn says:
@::Seals the door behind him, leaving the guards outside:: FCO: Because I want to help...
CO Shemara Arca says:
<FCO Jet> XO: Sir course is straight and true sir.
FCO Newell says:
@Cairn: Then get me back to my ship.
Host Cairn says:
@FCO: Your friends are chasing shadows.
XO Arca says:
CTO: Lets not take any chance I want shields at full power and weapons full armed
FCO Newell says:
@Cairn: Get me back to my ship! ::said louder::
XO Arca says:
CIV: Lets try to find a way to take them out of warp without destroying them
Host Cairn says:
@FCO: I'm going to try, but they are out of transporter range. I managed to get the pregnant one off...::places his hand over her mouth:: I said quiet, or you'll give me away. Now scream like you're being tortured!
CIV Turok says:
XO: Aye sir.
XO Arca says:
*CEO*: We may be going into battle, get your damage control teams ready
FCO Newell says:
@::Screams:: Cairn: No!
CIV Turok says:
CTO: Low yield torpedo might work?
CEO McPhee says:
::Walks into engineering::
Host Cairn says:
@FCO: I'm Starfleet and trying to do what I can to find who are in charge of this operation. Will you help?
CEO McPhee says:
*XO*: Aye sir, they'll be standing by.
FCO Newell says:
@Cairn: How do I know I can trust you?
Host Cairn says:
@FCO: You don't, but I'll tell you this, I'm your only chance.
CO Shemara Arca says:
*XO*: How are we doing?
Host Cairn says:
@FCO: Ensign, these people are dangerous.
FCO Newell says:
@Cairn: I heard, Orion slave traders.
CTO Mahl says:
XO: Shields are up at full power, weapons are hot.
Host Cairn says:
@ACTION: The Antria alters course toward Cardassia
XO Arca says:
*CO*: Twelve minutes to intercept. The CIV and CTO are working on a way to knock the ship out of warp. Engineering and controls teams report ready
CEO McPhee says:
EO_Smith: Ready damage control.
Host Cairn says:
@FCO: Among others. ::Unlocks a case and brings if over to where the FCO is standing. ::motions toward a table:: Lay down. I need to apply these before I return you to the others.
CIV Turok says:
CTO: Any ideas?
CO Shemara Arca says:
*XO*: Good keep me informed and push to warp 8 I want that ship and our crew back pronto.
XO Arca says:
*CO*: Understood
FCO Newell says:
@Cairn: Apply what?  If this is some sort of trick, I will scream for real.
CEO McPhee says:
<EO Smith>: Aye sir. Damage control is standing by awaiting orders.
XO Arca says:
CIV: Time to intercept at warp 8
XO Arca says:
Helm: Increase to warp 8
CIV Turok says:
XO: Three minutes sir.
CO Shemara Arca says:
<FCO Jet> XO: Understood increasing to warp 8.
Host Cairn says:
@FCO: Then scream. And yes, it's a trick on them. I'm supposed to alter your identity. That in mind, I have prosthetics that I want to put on you.
XO Arca says:
*CO*: Sir 3 minutes to intercept would you like to join us on the bridge?
CEO McPhee says:
Self: I wonder how much stress the engines can take?
FCO Newell says:
@Cairn: Well . . . okay.  ::Lays down on the table:: I hope you know what you're doing.
CO Shemara Arca says:
Self:  I don't know if it is a good idea or not but....
Host Cairn says:
ACTION: The DJ's engines begin to show signs of stress and power begins to drop.
CO Shemara Arca says:
<FCO Jet> XO: Ship we are chasing has altered course sir.
CO Shemara Arca says:
*XO*: I will be there in a few more minutes.
XO Arca says:
::Looks confused:: *CO*: Aye sir
Host Cairn says:
@FCO: So do I ::Begins applying the prosthetics:: Just scream and keep screaming.
CEO McPhee says:
*XO*: Sir, power is beginning to drop. I don't know how much more stress they can take. ::looks over a the main console::
CO Shemara Arca says:
<FCO Jet> XO: Sir I am losing speed sir.  Warp 7.5 now sir.
XO Arca says:
*CEO*: Stress at warp 8? what going on down there chief?
CEO McPhee says:
EO_Smith: See if you can't boast the power.
XO Arca says:
Jet: Can you hold this speed?
FCO Newell says:
@Cairn: Okay, you asked for it! ::screams bloody murder::
CO Shemara Arca says:
<FCO Jet> XO: Yes sir if we don't lose any more speed.
XO Arca says:
CIV/CTO: Gentlemen, I want that ship out of warp now so get the job done
FCO Newell says:
@::keeps screaming:: Cairn: No! No! No!
CO Shemara Arca says:
<FCO Jet> XO: Do you want me to change course sir.  The ship we are following is now headed into the badlands sir.
CIV Turok says:
CTO: We need to concentrate fire on their shield generator and the warp drive. Can we punch through those shields?
CTO Mahl says:
CIV: A tight beam phaser should do the trick.  We just have to be careful not to let it hit too hard, or it might punch right through their hull.
CEO McPhee says:
*XO*: They’re running hot, sir. The fail-safes are dropping the power to keep the engines cool.
CO Shemara Arca says:
Self: Well time to face the troops.  ::gets up and walks back out onto the bridge and takes her seat again::

XO Arca says:
*CEO*: Chief hold them together as long as you can
FCO Newell says:
@::Screaming:: Cairn: Ahhhhh!
CTO Mahl says:
::Hears what the CEO just said:: CIV: Now would be a good time to hit their engines.  With the fail-safes trying to keep them from over heating, the engines are ripe for the picking.
XO Arca says:
CTO: Are we in weapons range?
XO Arca says:
CIV: Hail the ship.
CEO McPhee says:
*XO*: I'll try sir, but she'll only hold for so long.
Host Cairn says:
@::Winces:: FCO: Keep it up. ::continues to apply the prosthetics...bends low so she can hear over her screams:: To give you an idea that I'm being straight with you. You are Ensign Deborah Newell, Senior flight control officer on the USS Don Johnson. One of your friends is the ship's counselor. Your crew had just reached the station to rejoin the rest of the crew after loosing the ship where you were temporarily assigned. Am I close?
CTO Mahl says:
XO: Yes we are, sir.  Awaiting your order to take their shields down, and stop them from moving.
XO Arca says:
CIV: Are they responding to hails?
FCO Newell says:
@::Screaming louder to try to block his voice from the outside:: Cairn: No!  Not that!
CIV Turok says:
COM: Unknown Vessel: Identify yourself and drop from warp immediately.
CO Shemara Arca says:
::Is somewhat distracted but aware of what is going on::
Host Cairn says:
@::Finishes with the prosthetics and steps back:: FCO: You can quit screaming, they don't anesthetize while doing the procedures...you played it well.
CO Shemara Arca says:
::Then feels the babies inside her move for the first time and smiles::
XO Arca says:
CO: We are about to engage the vessel

XO Arca says:
CIV: Anything?
CO Shemara Arca says:
XO: Understood carry on.
FCO Newell says:
@::Relaxes and says softly:: Cairn: I'm still not sure I trust you, but I will cooperate.
CTO Mahl says:
::Waits patiently for  the order to fire::
XO Arca says:
CTO: Fire.
CTO Mahl says:
::Fires phasers on a tight beam::
Host Cairn says:
@<Antria> COM: Don Johnson: CIV: This the SS Antriiaa...What do you wish?
XO Arca says:
*CEO*: Shutdown all non sestina systems and use the power to hold the ship together
CIV Turok says:
XO: It's the Antria sir. Channel open.
Host Cairn says:
@ACTION: The phasers hit target and the Antria falters, then their engines stall.
XO Arca says:
CTO: Hold your fire.
Host Cairn says:
@<Antria> COM: Don Johnson: CIV: What is the purpose of firing at us?
CTO Mahl says:
XO: Not a possibility, sir.  The beam has already found its target.
XO Arca says:
CIV: Tell them to drop out of warp
CEO McPhee says:
*XO*: Aye, sir shutting down all non essential: moves to main console and shuts down all non sestina systems::
FCO Newell says:
@Cairn: What do you need me to do?
CTO Mahl says:
XO: Sir, they have dropped out of warp.
CIV Turok says:
COM: Antria: Please drop out of warp.

XO Arca says:
Jet: Take us out of warp
Host Cairn says:
@ ::nods:: FCO: That's all I can ask. ::takes her by the elbow:: On the way back act weak like you've just been through all of that pain for real.
CO Shemara Arca says:
<FCO Jet> XO: Understood sir dropping from warp now.
CO Shemara Arca says:
<FCO Jet> ::Backs the DJ down to impulse::
XO Arca says:
CIV: Inform them that we have been informed that they are carrying kidnapped Starfleet officers. Also that they should prepare to be boarded.
CEO McPhee says:
*XO*: Sir, all non-essential are offline.
Host Cairn says:
@FCO: I need to get you to the leaders of this group. ::hand her a small concealable phaser:: Hide this, it should keep you from being sold, but I need to get past his stage of the deal.
XO Arca says:
CTO: Chief get a team ready
FCO Newell says:
@::nods:: Cairn: Shouldn't be too hard, I'm tired from all that screaming. ::takes the phaser and  hides it.::
CO Shemara Arca says:
CTO: I want them in my brig when you find the culprits.
XO Arca says:
*CEO*: Good work get those repairs going and find out why we are having engine problems
CIV Turok says:
COM: Antria: I have information that there may be Starfleet officers aboard and we need to verify that there are none aboard your vessel.
CEO McPhee says:
*XO*: Aye, sir.
CTO Mahl says:
XO: How large of a security detail do you wish for me to take with me?
Host Cairn says:
@<Antria> COM: Don Johnson: CIV: We are unable to move after your attack, you should be assisting with the repairs for this needless attack!
CEO McPhee says:
::Motions for EO_Smith to follow him::
XO Arca says:
CTO: Two teams of five and I'll command one and you have the other
FCO Newell says:
@::Walks with Cairn, weakly::
Host Cairn says:
@<Antria> COM: Don Johnson: CIV: Then send a team or whoever you wish to search. I've nothing to hide!
CEO McPhee says:
::Begins scan of the engines::
CIV Turok says:
XO: Might I suggest a tractor beam on the vessel to hold them.
XO Arca says:
CTO: You start aft and I'll start front and will meet in the middle
CO Shemara Arca says:
COM: SS Antria:This is Capt Cmdr Shemara Arca you are holding hostages in your unseen hold.  Two of them are my officers.  It is you who instigated this reaction.
CTO Mahl says:
XO: Very well, Sir.  ::Contacts alpha and beta teams, and orders them to meet him and the XO in the transporter room::
CTO Mahl says:
XO: Our teams will meet us in the transporter room.
Host Cairn says:
@::Takes her back to the cell and pulls Sharri out::
XO Arca says:
::Places a hand on his wife shoulder to calm her down::
FCO Newell says:
@::Sinks into the cell::
CO Shemara Arca says:
::Relaxes under his steady hand::
XO Arca says:
Com: Antria: If our teams show that you don't have the missing officers onboard we will assist in your repairs
Host Cairn says:
@<Antria> COM: Don Johnson: CO: If you believe that, then send your people over. Come yourself for that matter. I have no one on board! The only things in that hold are 4 targs!
CEO McPhee says:
*XO*: Sir engines will be back to 100 percent once they get a chance to cool down.

XO Arca says:
CIV: I want you to find a way to get sensors to ready that sensor hold
CO Shemara Arca says:
COM: Antria: Have no fear we will be boarding you soon to see for our selves.
XO Arca says:
*CEO*: What caused them to fail at warp 8
CIV Turok says:
XO: Aye sir. ::Works on the sensors::
XO Arca says:
::Heads for the TL and orders it to the transporter room::
CTO Mahl says:
::Follows the XO::
CO Shemara Arca says:
XO: Be careful I sense they are hiding something.
XO Arca says:
*CO*: Ain't I always
CO Shemara Arca says:
XO: Yes but this time I mean it.
CEO McPhee says:
*XO*:We're still looking into that sir. Will have an answer as soon as possible.
Host Cairn says:
@<Antria> COM: Don Johnson: CO: Of course, shoot first! What else does one expect from Federation bilge.
CO Shemara Arca says:
::That statement got her Klingon blood boiling::
XO Arca says:
*CEO*: Report to the CO when you find out why
CEO McPhee says:
*XO*: Aye sir.
FCO Newell says:
@::Sits in the cell, waiting::
CTO Mahl says:
XO: Regulation search over there, sir?  Or, do you want one of my special searches?
XO Arca says:
::Exits the TL and heads for the transporter room:: CTO: So what do you think?
CO Shemara Arca says:
COM: Antria: You call this ship Federation Bilge?  You who are in  badly misshapen freighter have the nerve to call my ship that.  ::laughs out loud::
CEO McPhee says:
<EO_Smith>: Sir come take a look at this? ::Motions towards the screen.
Host Cairn says:
@<Antria> COM: Don Johnson: CO: Not your ship, your personnel.
CTO Mahl says:
XO: I think they are hiding something over there.  I also think that you would want me to perform one of my "special" searches.  Just don’t ask what that is.
CEO McPhee says:
::Stands by Smith's side:: EO Smith: What is it Ensign?
CO Shemara Arca says:
COM: Antria: My personnel are the finest Starfleet Officers I have had the honor to work with so watch who you call Federation Bilge.  I am the one holding the cards at the moment and not you.
XO Arca says:
CTO: Your right I don't want to know but if it gets out friends home I can't care
XO Arca says:
CTO: Just don't kill anyone
CTO Mahl says:
XO: Good to hear, sir... VERY good to hear.
CTO Mahl says:
XO: OH!  OF course not!  I would never let someone off the hook that easily.
XO Arca says:
::Enters the transporter room and takes a phaser and tricorder from one of the guards::
Host Cairn says:
@<Antria> COM: Don Johnson: CO: The key words are Starfleet Officers...that alone means they are bilge to me. You attack a ship that only has defensive weapons, just because of a hold containing four targs.
XO Arca says:
CTO: Your team first.
CIV Turok says:
::Working on the sensor scan::
CO Shemara Arca says:
COM: Antria: Are you sure they are only targs?
CEO McPhee says:
<EO_Smith>: Something is plugging up the plasma vents.
CTO Mahl says:
XO: Meet you halfway through that ship, sir.

Host Cairn says:
@<Antria> COM: Don Johnson: CO: I think I know a targ when I see one.
XO Arca says:
CTO: See you there
CTO Mahl says:
::Gets onto the transporter pad with his team::
CO Shemara Arca says:
COM: Antria: Well maybe you aren't seeing Targs as I have two pet targs on the Klingon home world. 
CTO Mahl says:
::Looks at his team before the transport:: Team: We are going with Mahl alpha tango one search.  You know the rules, and the details.
Host Cairn says:
ACTION: The teams are transported aboard the Antria and granted free access to the ship.
CTO Mahl says:
Team: Fan out.  You know your orders.  Make sure you are thorough.
XO Arca says:
@::Beams onto the Antria bridge::
Host Cairn says:
@<Antria> COM: USS Don Johnson: CO: Come look for yourself
XO Arca says:
@Team: Start your search
CIV Turok says:
Self: This is too easy. Why would they let us over if they have any captives?
XO Arca says:
@Antria: Who is in charge here?
CTO Mahl says:
@::Goes on a rampage of sorts, not leaving anything unchecked.  Opens every door, every drawer, even lifts loose deck plates and opens access hatches::
CO Shemara Arca says:
COM: Antria: I don't have to my XO is there on your bridge now.
CEO McPhee says:
*CO*: Captain a constrictor valve has plugged up the plasma vents, that's why we couldn't maintain warp 8.
Host Cairn says:
@<Nailr> XO: That would be me.
Host Cairn says:
@XO: What was your reason for attacking my ship? What hostages?
XO Arca says:
@Nailr: Two Starfleet officers are missing and information has point this ship
Host Nailr says:
@XO: They aren't on this ship
XO Arca says:
@Nailr: I would like for all your ships logs to be transmitted to my ship for analysis
CO Shemara Arca says:
*XO*: Make sure I trust my gut feeling.
Host Nailr says:
@XO: Help yourself
CTO Mahl says:
@::Opens the door to the cargo bay, and sees 4 targs.  As he moves closer, they begin to snarl and drool.  Mahl backs off::
XO Arca says:
@Nailr: Well if they are not well get your engines back up and you can go with anymore hassle. Yet we do have to make sure
CIV Turok says:
::Tries to scan the ship::
Host Nailr says:
@XO: Sure whatever you say, you could have just asked for permission to board rather than shooting...but no. Go ahead, make your checks.
CO Shemara Arca says:
CIV: Any luck getting through that area that is shielded?
CTO Mahl says:
@::Keeps moving forward towards the XO's location::
