Mission Summary 10708.30 
Host Susan says:
Major Barrett has been assigned to the USS Don Johnson and placed in charge of the current investigation of Badlands Piracy.  These orders have come as a surprise to the command staff as previous orders gave command to Commander Stidd who has information from his son's memories that could bring a quick conclusion to the investigation.
Host Susan says:
How will the crew deal with the change?  With they be able to cope with Major Barrett?  Will Barrett be able to control the crew?

OPS_Jankara says:
CO: Nothing I'm able to decipher, Captain.
CO_Capt_Shemara_Arca says:
OPS: Continue monitoring.
OPS_Jankara says:
CO: I'll continue working on it.
XO_Cmdr_Stidd says:
::Enters onto the bridge:: CO: You wanted to see me captain before I debrief the crew?
CMO_Ens_Blackfeather says:
::rides the lift to the bridge, her thoughts on the current events::
OPS_Jankara says:
::frowns slightly as she hones in on other channels::
CO_Capt_Shemara_Arca says:
XO: Cmdr Stidd who is in command of this mission?  You or this idiot?
Major_Barrett says:
OPS: So there is unusual traffic and you are not up to deciphering it? Perhaps we should get someone who can do it up here.
OPS_Jankara says:
CO: I have picked up the name Blackthorn a few times but I don't have much information regarding it.
OPS_Jankara says:
Major: I said I'm working on the decryption, Major.  I'm sorry if you were unable to understand what I explained to my Captain.
Major_Barrett says:
CO: Idiot? Typical reaction from a Klingon.

CO_Capt_Shemara_Arca says:
Barrett: Let me tell you something you young whippersnapper I am more than just a Klingon I am also a Vulcan so if you don't mind keep your smart remarks to yourself.
XO_Cmdr_Stidd says:
:: Looks over at the major:: Major: James McAllister Barrett!  I will not have you insulting a member of my crew like that.  She is perfectly capable of doing her job, unlike you!!!
Major_Barrett says:
OPS: Well please take all the time you need. We aren't in a hurry or anything. Why don't you let me look at those.
CO_Capt_Shemara_Arca says:
XO: Stidd that is all I needed to hear.
Major_Barrett says:
::Steps over to the OPS station::
OPS_Jankara says:
::applies a new algorithm to the decryption matrix::
XO_Cmdr_Stidd says:
Major:  I am only going to say this once, so clean out your ears and listen real good.  Get in my way and I will have OPS put through a call to Rear Admiral Frank Jamison.  You will be behind a desk with the rank of buck private so fast you won’t know what hit you.  Do you understand?
CO_Capt_Shemara_Arca says:
Barrett: Step away from that console or I will have you sleeping in the brig.
Major_Barrett says:
XO: Please fell free to do so and we will see who ends up on the garbage scow.
CO_Capt_Shemara_Arca says:
XO: My dear Stidd you have something..........::hears Barrett and has had enough:: Garbage scow?
CO_Capt_Shemara_Arca says:
Barrett/XO: My READY ROOM NOW!!!
Major_Barrett says:
CO: Again you fail to realize who is charge here. Did you not understand you orders or do you routinely disobey orders?
CO_Capt_Shemara_Arca says:
FCO: You have the bridge.
CO_Capt_Shemara_Arca says:
::storms to her ready room clearly heated::
FCO_Newell_McPhee says:

CO_Capt_Shemara_Arca says:
::turns:: XO/Barrett: BOTH OF YOU NOW!!!!
OPS_Jankara says:
::nearly jumps in surprise out of her chair as the XO begins yelling::
CMO_Ens_Blackfeather says:
::watches the interactions between the CO, XO and the Major but remains where she's standing::
Major_Barrett says:
::Quickly uses a technique similar to a Vulcan nerve pinch he learned from a obliging member of the Orion syndicate on the XO::
CO_Capt_Shemara_Arca says:
::sees the movement and is ready for it::
CO_Capt_Shemara_Arca says:
XO: Watch your back!!
CO_Capt_Shemara_Arca says:
::is already next to Barrett::
XO_Cmdr_Stidd says:
:: Throws Barrett across the bridge:: Major: Get out of my sight you worthless Varool.
CO_Capt_Shemara_Arca says:

CO_Capt_Shemara_Arca says:
CMO: Do what I told you to do.
FCO_Newell_McPhee says:
CO: Aye, sir.
Major_Barrett says:
::Quickly rises to his feet::
Host Susan says:
ACTION:  Stidd looses his grip on Barrett's throat, but remains standing.
FCO_Newell_McPhee says:
Barrett: Major Barrett, I'm placing you under arrest for conduct unbecoming a Starfleet Officer.  Now we can do this the hard way or the easy way.
CO_Capt_Shemara_Arca says:
::lunges and nails Barrett solid in the middle::
FCO_Newell_McPhee says:
*Security*: I need a security team to the bridge, on the double.
CMO_Ens_Blackfeather says:

Host Susan says:
ACTION:  Barrett sidesteps the Captain.
CO_Capt_Shemara_Arca says:
::rolls and side swipes his legs out from under him::
Major_Barrett says:
::Quickly jumps out of the way of the CO and CMO::
CO_Capt_Shemara_Arca says:
FCO: Put him down
CO_Capt_Shemara_Arca says:
::comes up quickly::
OPS_Jankara says:

FCO_Newell_McPhee says:
::fires her phaser at the Major::
Major_Barrett says:
::Tries to dive to avoid the phaser fire::
Major_Barrett says:
::Quickly rolls an object into the middle of the bridge::
Host Susan says:
ACTION:  The phaser fires as it is kicked out of Barrett's hand, alarms blare as McPhee is struck in the shoulder by the wild fire.
Host Susan says:
ACTION:  Arca slowly begins to come around.
XO_Cmdr_Stidd says:
:: Again drives a fist to the Major's jaw and then to the solar plexus::
CO_Capt_Shemara_Arca says:
Out loud: What in the name of Kahless happened?
OPS_Jankara says:
All: ENOUGH! ::grabs a phaser, sets it on wide-beam, and backs to the corner of the bridge firing::
CO_Capt_Shemara_Arca says:
::stays flat on the floor::
CMO_Ens_Blackfeather says:
::assists the Captain:: CO: The Major moved and I got you instead.
CO_Capt_Shemara_Arca says:
CMO: You are forgiven.
CO_Capt_Shemara_Arca says:
::eyes roam the bridge and sees a small object in the center of the floor::
Host Susan says:
ACTION:  A brief buzz is heard from the object as it explodes with a loud band and bright flash, at the same time as Jankara fires stunning the entire bridge crew.
CO_Capt_Shemara_Arca says:
::stun grenade closes eyes::
FCO_Newell_McPhee says:
::falls to the floor, stunned::
CMO_Ens_Blackfeather says:
::slumps to the floor::
CO_Capt_Shemara_Arca says:
::never left the floor::
OPS_Jankara says:
::is thrown against the wall where she's standing, covering her eyes from the flash::
XO_Cmdr_Stidd says:
:: Drops to one knee then collapses face first into the floor::
OPS_Jankara says:
::falls in a clump to the floor, shaking her head trying desperately to clear it::
OPS_Jankara says:
Computer: Computer, beam all other bridge personnel to the brig, separate cells.  Authorization Jankara Beta-Gamma-Seven-Seven-One.
CO_Capt_Shemara_Arca says:
::materializes in the brig::
Major_Barrett says:
::Begins to awake in the brig::
FCO_Newell_McPhee says:
::materializes in a cell in the brig::
XO_Cmdr_Stidd says:
:: Materializes in the brig and begins to come to::
CMO_Ens_Blackfeather says:
::materializes in a cell in the brig also::
CO_Capt_Shemara_Arca says:
Out loud: Qu'valth!!! <Klingon Explicative>
OPS_Jankara says:
::moves slowly back to her console, orders the computer the notify her the moment the decryption is complete and heads off the bridge::
Major_Barrett says:
::Looks around the cell::
CO_Capt_Shemara_Arca says:
::Klingon blood is boiling and is rabid::
OPS_Jankara says:
::leans against the lift wall:: Computer: Disperse a mild stimulant to all those still stunned in the brig.  I need them conscious not wild anymore.
CO_Capt_Shemara_Arca says:
Self: I hope that Jonathan did the dampening field I asked him to do a head of time::
Host Susan says:
ACTION:  The stunned crew begin to awaken.
FCO_Newell_McPhee says:
::wakes up and wonders why she's in the brig::
CMO_Ens_Blackfeather says:
::slowly comes too and looks around::
CO_Capt_Shemara_Arca says:
::has already started to come around and is madder than a wet targ in a cage::
XO_Cmdr_Stidd says:
:: Stands in the cell and looks around:: Self: Logical, very logical.
OPS_Jankara says:
*CEO*: Lieutenant, I need you on the bridge please.  Don't ask why but I just had to transport the rest of the bridge crew to the brig.
OPS_Jankara says:
::realizes the bridge was unmanned and quickly orders the computer to call up replacement personnel::
CMO_Ens_Blackfeather says:
::leans against the wall of the cell and almost appears to sulk angry with herself for failing her captain::
Major_Barrett says:
ALL: Well we should be able to get the mission accomplished from here, shouldn't we. Nicely done.
OPS_Jankara says:
::leaves the lift and heads to the brig::
CO_Capt_Shemara_Arca says:
Barrett: I will have your hide on my wall in my quarters.
FCO_Newell_McPhee says:
CO: Well, your mission was accomplished, Captain. Though not the way you had planned it.
OPS_Jankara says:
::enters the brig just as the Captain speaks::
CO_Capt_Shemara_Arca says:
OPS: You did what was expected of you in this situation.
Major_Barrett says:
CO: And I thought most Klingon’s could read. You might think of adding that talent to your repertoire, then you would understand your orders.
CMO_Ens_Blackfeather says:
::listens to the Captain and the Major::
OPS_Jankara says:
All: Now, before any of you start trying to give me orders. ::stands so all can see and crosses her arms::  We need to get the chain of command here settled.
CO_Capt_Shemara_Arca says:
Barrett: You are in more trouble than you think.
OPS_Jankara says:
CO: Thank you Ma'am.
CEO_McPhee says:
::motions for EO Hotpants to come with him and heads to the Bridge::
Major_Barrett says:
OPS: That's the first smart thing I have heard since I arrived.
CO_Capt_Shemara_Arca says:
<Hotpants> CEO: Right behind you sir.
OPS_Jankara says:
Major: Barrett, I'm going to say this once and only once, especially since I can keep you here with charges that would stick...Shut UP!
Major_Barrett says:
OPS: There goes the one point you earned.
CEO_McPhee says:
::enters the turbo lift and waits for the EO:: TL: Bridge
XO_Cmdr_Stidd says:
:: Listens to Jankara but says nothing::
CO_Capt_Shemara_Arca says:
<Hotpants> ::enters the TL::
CMO_Ens_Blackfeather says:
::slides down the wall so she's sitting on the floor but still listening::
CO_Capt_Shemara_Arca says:
::listens to Jankara::
OPS_Jankara says:
All: We've got a mission to accomplish.  Major, as long as you keep up your attitude, we're not going to get anything done.  With Commander Stidd's response to you, I'd think he has information that could keep you here.
OPS_Jankara says:
All: If the command staff that belongs to this ship can find a way to work with the man who doesn't want to belong anywhere, we can get something done.
CEO_McPhee says:
::exits the turbo lift and steps into the Bridge. Looks for the OPS::
Major_Barrett says:
OPS: And perhaps he may have been misinformed by someone with misinformation.
Host Susan says:
ACTION:  The computer signals completion of its task.
OPS_Jankara says:
All: Are you going to all act like adults or do I call Commander Fowler as the ranking officer to take over the ship until the mission is complete?
CO_Capt_Shemara_Arca says:
<Hotpants> CEO: Sir the OPS console beeped sir.
OPS_Jankara says:
::raises her hand:: Major: Just answer the question, Major.
CO_Capt_Shemara_Arca says:
OPS: You can release all of us except Barrett until I hear what Stidd has to say.
CEO_McPhee says:
Hotpants: Well, lets check it out then. :;walks over to the console::
OPS_Jankara says:
::gets the notice via her combadge as she'd ordered the computer:: All: That notice says my decryption worked, we may have information.
CO_Capt_Shemara_Arca says:
<Hotpants> ::walks with the CEO to the OPS station::
Major_Barrett says:
Self: Finally, progress.
OPS_Jankara says:
CO: Captain, that wasn't a condition with all due respect.  Those orders were real.  You three work together or you all stay here and I start filing charges about Unbecoming an Officer::
CEO_McPhee says:
*OPS*: McPhee to Jankara. I'm currently on the bridge at your station. Whatever you were working on seems to be done and ready to view.
CO_Capt_Shemara_Arca says:
OPS: I understand you and agree but until Barrett is confirmed he stays here.
XO_Cmdr_Stidd says:
OPS: Jankara, check file 37 Lima 1 and you will see that I have my mission authority straight from Rear Admiral Frank Jameson, the head of Starfleet Intel.  The only one higher than him is the Federation President.
OPS_Jankara says:
*CEO*: Thank you.
Major_Barrett says:
OPS: A sane suggestion if you senior officers can comply.
Major_Barrett says:
XO: How can one so naive raise to your rank?
CMO_Ens_Blackfeather says:
::sits and ponders her future if she even has one::
OPS_Jankara says:
XO: Commander, I don't care if your orders came from the Tooth Fairy.  Your actions on the bridge warrant brig time and charges.  I'm an officer and will do whatever it takes to keep this ship safe.  Your actions were dangerous to this crew.
Host Susan says:
ACTION:  The results indicate messages to various ships to assemble in orbit of Quinor.
CEO_McPhee says:
Hotpants: Check out the console, lets get an idea of what it says.
OPS_Jankara says:
Major: That isn't working together.  ::releases all but the CO, XO, and Major from their cells::  All: I believe your help is needed in your departments or on the bridge.
CO_Capt_Shemara_Arca says:
<Hotpants> CEO: You got it sir.  ::sits at the console and begins to read::
FCO_Newell_McPhee says:
::notes that her cell was open and walks out::
OPS_Jankara says:
CO/XO/Barrett: I'm counting to five then I'm leaving.  You agreeing means you'll start acting like the officers you are, end of discussion.  One...Two...
CMO_Ens_Blackfeather says:
::slowly rises from where she sits and exits the cell, none too happy about the situation:: OPS: Yes sir ::glancing at the CO before exiting the brig and heading for sickbay::
Major_Barrett says:
OPS: My orders are to accomplish this mission not coddle this crew or Captain.
OPS_Jankara says:
CO/XO/Barrett: Three...
CO_Capt_Shemara_Arca says:
OPS: Do as the XO says please.  If his orders do come from the Admiral.
OPS_Jankara says:
Barrett: Fine, then you stay here.  Four...
XO_Cmdr_Stidd says:
OPS: I agree.
FCO_Newell_McPhee says:
;:walks out of the brig and heads for the bridge.
OPS_Jankara says:
::releases the XO and looks one final time at the CO and Barrett::
CO_Capt_Shemara_Arca says:
OPS: I agree as well.
OPS_Jankara says:
::releases the CO and looks at Barrett::
OPS_Jankara says:
Barrett: Well?  Attitude or professionalism, your choice Major.
XO_Cmdr_Stidd says:
::Exits the brig cell:: OPS: Do not release him.
Major_Barrett says:
OPS: Have we decided on a chain of command? Who is in charge?
CO_Capt_Shemara_Arca says:
XO: Stidd walk with me and tell me if he stays in the brig.
OPS_Jankara says:
::mocks salutes::  Major: Yes, you three were working together, side by side, not barking at each other like dogs in heat.
OPS_Jankara says:
Major: Five.
XO_Cmdr_Stidd says:
CO: He led a mission in which 27 men lost their lives because he would not pull back when he was compromised.  He is a danger to this mission
Major_Barrett says:
OPS: There is a reason there is only one CO aboard a ship.
OPS_Jankara says:
Major: And I guess you aren't it.  Good-bye, Major. ::turns and leaves the brig::
CO_Capt_Shemara_Arca says:
XO: If he is released, and if he puts this ship in danger I will kill him myself.  I will not lose any of my family to an inept individual.
XO_Cmdr_Stidd says:
CO: You will have to wait in line as Semaj lost friends in that mission.
Major_Barrett says:
OPS: A bad career choice.
CO_Capt_Shemara_Arca says:
XO: It is because of him this riot happened and I will have his hide in my quarters.
CMO_Ens_Blackfeather says:
::enters sickbay after taking the long way around so she could calm down::
CO_Capt_Shemara_Arca says:
XO: Now down to business what have you found out?
OPS_Jankara says:
Major: Tell that to Captain Horn when you get back to SFI, Major.  She'll inform you all about my career!
FCO_Newell_McPhee says:
::enters the bridge and retakes the helm from the relief FCO::
OPS_Jankara says:
::hears the door close behind her and heads to the bridge, sighing heavily::
CO_Capt_Shemara_Arca says:
::walking with the XO back to the bridge::
XO_Cmdr_Stidd says:
CO: Make you a deal, you can have his hide in your quarters if I can have his head on a pike in my quarters.
CEO_McPhee says:
::sees his wife enter the bridge and walks over to her:: FCO: So you were in the brig?
CO_Capt_Shemara_Arca says:
XO: Deal.
FCO_Newell_McPhee says:
CEO: Yeah, Jankara stunned us all!
Major_Barrett says:
::Waits until everyone has left the brig::
CEO_McPhee says:
FCO: What did you do to get stunned by Jankara?
CO_Capt_Shemara_Arca says:
XO: I still don't trust him.  All my senses tell me he is bad news.  I want him off this ship as soon as possible.  He is up to something.
Major_Barrett says:
::Removes a small device he has hidden, presses a button and walks out of the cell after the force field has dropped::
XO_Cmdr_Stidd says:
CO: We need to set up two covert boarding parties.  They have 2 ships that are non-Federation and they need to be taken out of commission before your plan will work.
FCO_Newell_McPhee says:
CEO: I didn't do anything.  That major has a major chip on his shoulder!
OPS_Jankara says:
::changes her mind and heads to sickbay::
XO_Cmdr_Stidd says:
CO: I can go to the transporter and beam him into space, if you like?
OPS_Jankara says:
::makes it a short trip to sickbay and enters looking around for anyone::
CEO_McPhee says:
::gives his wife a serious look:: FCO: But it had to get out of hand for OPS to stun you all, send you to the brig, then contact me.
CO_Capt_Shemara_Arca says:
XO: No that is murder although I wouldn't mind but.......
Major_Barrett says:
::Walks to the nearest computer panel using his device:: Computer: Computer transfer all commands codes to Barrett. Authorization Barrett Omega Alpha One Code Black.
