Mission Summary 11309.26
The Don Johnson arrived at Starbase 320 under strange circumstances.  After docking, a Nova class starship appeared in the sector as an apparent aggressor.
After a confusing exchange of communique's with two seemingly distinct ship Captain's, the ship unexpectedly exploded.  Though it did so after the presence of Vroa aboard was confirmed.
30 minutes have passed since its the warp core breach of the USS Celeron, and the USS Don Johnson has returned to the station.
Upon return to the station and inspection of the aft Engineering hull of the USS Don Johnson, several hull ruptures were discovered as a result of the proximity to the explosion caused by the USS Celeron.

OPS_Ens_Donovan says:
::At operation, minding the operations console::

TO_Ltjg_Ki says:
::at a secondary station reviewing the sensor data of the encounter from the shuttle::

FCO_LTjg_Quinn says:
::On the bridge, at the helm, overseeing the installation of navigational updates::

CSO_Cmd_So`tsoh says:
:: After a relatively brief stop in medical, she returns to the bridge.::

ACTION: Engineering teams are dispatched to coordinate with the Starbase personnel for external hull damage and repairs from the explosion.

CTO_Lt_Telarus says:
::coordinating repair efforts and security of Engineering::

CSO_Cmd_So`tsoh says:
:: A momentary wait before she steps off the bridge, she head over to science to check in.::

CTO_Lt_Telarus says:
TO: This is all really strange. We should keep ourselves on our toes.

CSO_Cmd_So`tsoh says:
:: In stillness she listens to Rain's report.  After a moment she nods and turns to look at the screen.::

TO_Ltjg_Ki says:
CTO:  I agree.  Nothing was as it appeared.

FCO_LTjg_Quinn says:
::notices Sin walk onto the bridge, turns his attention back to his console::

CTO_Lt_Telarus says:
TO: ...and the Vroa...again?! really...

CSO_Cmd_So`tsoh says:
OPS:  Has the stations commander made contact with us yet?

TO_Ltjg_Ki says:
CTO:  I was unfamiliar with their species until this encounter.  Are they shapeshifters?

OPS_Ens_Donovan says:
CSO: No Ma'am

CSO_Cmd_So`tsoh says:
:: As much as she does not want to talk to the base commander... she almost sighs aloud.::  OPS:  Make contact with her.  I want to speak with her.

OPS_Ens_Donovan says:
CSO: Right away. COM: Station Operation: This is the Don Johnson, our commander would like to speak with yours.

FCO_LTjg_Quinn says:
::Checks readiness status on all nav systems.::

Capt_Neepad says:
COMM: Don Johnson: This is Captain Neepad, welcome back Don Johnson.

OPS_Ens_Donovan says:
::puts the comm on screen:: CSO: On screen.

CTO_Lt_Telarus says:
TO: They definitely are a thorn in our side Lieutenant. Unfortunately, they have that ability. Our Chief Engineer was really a Vroa saboteur.

CSO_Cmd_So`tsoh says:
:: nods her thanks::  COMM: Capt:  Captain Neepad.  We have many questions.

CTO_Lt_Telarus says:
TO: We have sensors to detect that, but they were probably disabled by him and also being the fact it was a trusted senior staff member, no one thought to check. That is why from now on we check everyone when they reboard the ship. At all entry and exit points and when beaming back on. I want you to implement that security protocol right away and make it so that it can not be overridden 

CTO_Lt_Telarus says:
without two senior officers authorizations.

Capt_Neepad says:
COMM: Don Johnson: Of course Commander So`tsoh, I understand.  Our station facilities are doing their best to repair your vessel in a timely fashion.  We know you have recently undergone some bad experiences at another starbase.  I can assure you, this will not happen here.

TO_Ltjg_Ki says:
CTO: So anyone could be a Vroa.  Even Neepad there.

Capt_Neepad says:
COMM: Don Johnson: However, I must insist that you return out shuttle craft to us immediately.  As you can see, its absence has already cost us too many lives.

CSO_Cmd_So`tsoh says:
COMM: Neepad:  In what way, has our keeping the shuttle cost lives?

Capt_Neepad says:
COMM: CSO_Cmd_So`tsoh: It is likely judging by your own inspection and use of the shuttle you have identified its specialized purpose.  We do not readily have a second available for Starship Captain's to Commandeer.  That is why we sent out a standard Type 9 shuttlecraft which as you observed, was destroyed with all hands lost on board.

CTO_Lt_Telarus says:
TO: It's sad, but yes...anybody.

CTO_Lt_Telarus says:
::as instructed previously begins to run passive scans using  the Vroa Technology on the station, it's personnel, and namely Captain Neepad::

CSO_Cmd_So`tsoh says:
:: lifts a brow::  COMM: At no time, did we register that you had sent out a shuttle.  And if you had been honest and upfront with us on what was going on, much of the situation could have been either avoided or better handled.

CTO_Lt_Telarus says:
::sends message to CSO at Captain's chair display::

CTO_Lt_Telarus says:
::message reads:: CSO: Checking the list, who has been naughty or nice, checking it twice...

Capt_Neepad says:
::sighs:: COMM: CSO: Please ... return our shuttle.

CTO_Lt_Telarus says:
::sends another message:: CSO: Can I interject...? I have a way to stall the Captain.

CSO_Cmd_So`tsoh says:
:: Considers it odd, the woman before them seemed so different the one before.::  COMM:  Neepad:  The shuttle is yours.

CSO_Cmd_So`tsoh says:
OPS:  What is the ETA for our departure time?

Capt_Neepad says:
COMM: CSO: Thank you Commander.  Please have one of your flight personnel pilot the shuttle as our tractor beams are offline for maintenance at the moment.

CSO_Cmd_So`tsoh says:
:: Looks down at the command chair to read Telarus message.::

OPS_Ens_Donovan says:
CSO: We're still waiting to hear from the repair crews.

CSO_Cmd_So`tsoh says:
COMM:  Acknowledged.  May things be... calmer for you.

OPS_Ens_Donovan says:
CSO: Ah, Here it is. Three days.

CSO_Cmd_So`tsoh says:
:: motions for OPS to cut the comm.::

Capt_Neepad says:
COMM: CSO: I have spoken with your Captain and Executive Officers.  They have informed me of the reason behind their absence and I understand.  When you have a moment, I would like to beam aboard and speak to your senior staff.

OPS_Ens_Donovan says:
::cuts the comm:

CSO_Cmd_So`tsoh says:
:: Looks up at the ceiling for a moment, then towards OPS::

CSO_Cmd_So`tsoh says:
OPS:  Give the captain our apology and when the captain is available we will let her know.

OPS_Ens_Donovan says:
CSO: 

OPS_Ens_Donovan says:
CSO: Aye

CSO_Cmd_So`tsoh says:
FCO:  You want the honor or one of your people?

CSO_Cmd_So`tsoh says:
CTO:  Has engineering and your officer been able to gather as much information as possible about our borrowed shuttle?

OPS_Ens_Donovan says:
CSO: Since we're going to be here for a while, would you like me to authorize shore leave for those who qualify?

CTO_Lt_Telarus says:
TO: What is your report on the shuttle?

CSO_Cmd_So`tsoh says:
OPS:  Yes.  Begin shifts.  And inform them if they find themselves in the brig, we will probably leave there.  I doubt we have any owed favors from this station.

OPS_Ens_Donovan says:
CSO: I concur. Personally, I'm staying aboard to oversee the rotations.

TO_Ltjg_Ki says:
CTO:  Nothing more than previously reported.  Its outfitted with specialized sensors and shielding

CSO_Cmd_So`tsoh says:
OPS:  Take some time for yourself.  We do not know when we will be at a station again.

FCO_LTjg_Quinn says:
CSO:  Yes Commander.  I can give you ensign Reed.  He's one of my best

CTO_Lt_Telarus says:
CSO: We have the info we are going to get, but I suggest not complying. There is more here than meets the eye.

OPS_Ens_Donovan says:
::reluctant:: CSO: Okay. ::thinks he'll check out the holodeck instead::

CTO_Lt_Telarus says:
CSO: I suggest we find a way to discreetly contact Starfleet Command.

CSO_Cmd_So`tsoh says:
CTO:  I concur.  However, the shuttle is not ours.  And we are currently guests.  We need to gather what information we can and return the vessel.

CSO_Cmd_So`tsoh says:
CTO:  You may have as much time as you can create excuses.  But when you are done, Ensign Read is to return the shuttle, in good condition.  Which does not mean you cannot leave anything aboard unseen.

CSO_Cmd_So`tsoh says:
CTO:  As for Starfleet, did we not already do so?  :: looks toward OPS for the answer.::

ACTION: Captain Neepad materializes on the bridge of the USS Don Johnson, unarmed but visibly perturbed.

Capt_Neepad says:
::clears her throat::

CSO_Cmd_So`tsoh says:
:: Turns around, keeping still, her eyes flaring slightly as she looks at the captain.  Quietly she waits::

CTO_Lt_Telarus says:
::intruder alert alarm goes off::

CTO_Lt_Telarus says:
Security: Draw weapons, hold fire.

FCO_LTjg_Quinn says:
::sends word for Ensign Reed to report to the main shuttle bay::

OPS_Ens_Donovan says:
::clears his throat:: CSO: Yes.

Capt_Neepad says:
::looks over at the CTO:: CTO: I believe the proper response is ::raises her voice:: "ATTENTION ON DECK" Lieutenant.

CSO_Cmd_So`tsoh says:
Capt:  No... intruder is appropriate given the circumstances.

CSO_Cmd_So`tsoh says:
:: makes a slight hand signal meant only for the CTO::

Ensign_Reese says:
:: acknowledges the message, and moves to report to the shuttle bay::

CTO_Lt_Telarus says:
::leans over to TO and whispers:: TO: Get whatever you need, now. Rig that shuttle with an engineering and I want it to be tracked down to the nanometer with full surveillance package. Scan it really thourgh once over and add an encrypted prefix code that we are the only ones the decryption key and tie it into the self destruct.

Capt_Neepad says:
::looks back over to the CSO and folds her arms contemptuously:: CSO: I was told by your Captain that I would receive full cooperation from this crew, and not a disconnected communication when my entire facility is spinning on its heel to facilitate your immediate repair.

CTO_Lt_Telarus says:
Capt Neepad: Captain...I would find that impossible. Being that the Captain is again in his quarters and has not communicated to us.

CSO_Cmd_So`tsoh says:
Capt:  My apologize for the disconnected message.  I presumed we were done, hence my operations officers reply.  As for cooperation, we have done so.  However... it would appear certain regulations have been forgotten.  Let me remind you for the future.

CSO_Cmd_So`tsoh says:
Capt:  One does not beam aboard the bridge of a starship if one does not want themselves shot at.  You are fortunate my security officers are well trained.

CTO_Lt_Telarus says:
::is bluffing about the communication::

Ens_Reed says:
::Enters the shuttle bay, and walks over to the shuttle bay supervisor::  LT_Hanson:  hey Jimmy...  What's going on?

Capt_Neepad says:
::ignores the CTO's remarks about a Captain not informing his crew and speaks quite professionally but condescendingly:: CSO: Commander So`tsoh, you are a visiting Starship docked at the Starbase I am in Command of.  All spaces aboard your ship are within my prevue to beam into and out of as I see fit.

Lt_Hanson says:
Ens_Reed:  Don't know what you mean, why?

CTO_Lt_Telarus says:
CSO: Actually Commander, per Starfleet regulations I am taking the Captain into custody immediately.

Ens_Reed says:
Lt_Hanson:  Got word from Quinn to report here, but he didn't specify.

Capt_Neepad says:
::raises both eyebrows at the CTO's remarks:: CSO: Is this your cooperation, Commander? ::taps her commbadge:: *Base Security*: This is Captain Neepad, stand by.

CSO_Cmd_So`tsoh says:
Capt:  Not unless regulations have changed that I have not been informed of.  Now that you have intruded.  Is there something of importance that you require of me?

CTO_Lt_Telarus says:
::engages transporter dampening field::

CSO_Cmd_So`tsoh says:
:: Turns to look at Telarus for an explanation, not that she blamed him for wanting the woman off their bridge.::

CTO_Lt_Telarus says:
CSO: Under Starfleet Regulations for violating security directives regarding the carrying and concealment of weapons from the Chief of a Starship Security and for Illegally Boarding a Federation Vessel without authorization of the commanding officer. Is this sufficient Commander?

Ens_Malrawe says:
COMM: USS Don Johnson: This is Starbase Three Two Zero Station Security, we have detected a priority call from your bridge from our CO and are detecting a transporter dampening field in place.  Please advise before your actions are taken as hostile actions.

CTO_Lt_Telarus says:
CSO: Additionally, I am holding Captain Neepad for investigation regarding the unknown origins and configuration of the technology aboard the shuttle we have in our possession.

CTO_Lt_Telarus says:
CSO: May I respond?

CSO_Cmd_So`tsoh says:
:: Turns toward the captain::  Capt:  He does have a point.  However...

Lt_Havson says:
Ens_Reed: I'd just hold here until we get word from upstairs.  Weird stuff going on.

Capt_Neepad says:
::raises both eyebrows furiously and puts her hands on her hips:: CSO: Commander, please restrain your Tactical Officer before I order his Court Martial!

CSO_Cmd_So`tsoh says:
:: turns back to Telarus::  CTO:  There were extraneous circumstances to the first situation.  And given our situation, we will be tolerant of the latter.

OPS_Ens_Donovan says:
CSO: Commander...hate to point this out, but the ship is currently crawling with station hands, We have an 'open' docking port...

CSO_Cmd_So`tsoh says:
OPS:  Acknowledged.  Inform the stations officer that we are simply dealing with a misunderstanding... or perhaps interpretation of regulation.

Ens_Reed says:
Lt_Hanson:  Weird...  I heard that.  ::smiles::

CTO_Lt_Telarus says:
CSO: While I respect you Commander, I will note my objection in the ship's log and file a formal complaint with Starfleet Command, Commander.

CSO_Cmd_So`tsoh says:
Capt Neepad:  My security officer will direct you to wherever you need.  We do however remind you, that beaming randomly aboard a starship is not... wise.

OPS_Ens_Donovan says:
::has a better idea:: COM: Starbase Operations: We are currently experiencing technical difficulties. Please stand by.

CSO_Cmd_So`tsoh says:
CTO:  Acknowledged.

CSO_Cmd_So`tsoh says:
:: Hearing Donovan looks at him with a lifted brow, not at all disagreeing.::

Capt_Neepad says:
::her eyes nearly pop out of her head with fury at the CTO's remarks but cools her jets at the CSO's:: CSO: I have already filled in your Captain and Executive Officer of the situation, now it's time for the rest of you.

CSO_Cmd_So`tsoh says:
OPS/CTO:  Will you provide Captain Neepad an escort...

Capt_Neepad says:
