The crew of the Kraken now need to decide what the next step is, unless Starfleet decide first.

Host Andrew says:
<<<<<<<<<<Resume>>>>>>>>>

Host CO_Cmdr_Aan says:
::Walks onto the bridge.:: XO:  Report.

CSO_Ens_Ix says:
::at her station, keeping an eye on the team in the warbird and on the planet's surface::

Host XO_LtCmdr_Suder says:
::turns:: ALL: Captain on the bridge! ::nods to the CO::

TO_Ens_Koraz says:
:: At the TAC station monitoring for anything unusual::

SO_LtJG_Sumner says:
@::moves towards the transporter console, attempting to activate it with translations from his tricorder::

CSO_Ens_Ix says:
::glances at the mention of the Captain and then turns back to her screen::

Host XO_LtCmdr_Suder says:
::pulls herself out of the Big Chair and makes way for A'an:: CO: We have sent Adalberto and Sumner over to the warbird to track down transport co-ordinates for those that beamed to the surface.

Host CO_Cmdr_Aan says:
::Sucks down a swig of coffee and nods to Kesh as he sits.::

CMO_Ens_DuPont says:
::In sickbay nursing a raktajino::

SO_LtJG_Sumner says:
@::tries to locate intact transporter records::

Host CO_Cmdr_Aan says:
::Nods.:: XO: Where are we with the Praetor and his people?  Are they back on their feet yet?

CSO_Ens_Ix says:
::taps her badge:: *SO*: Ix to Sumner. How is it going, Lt?

Host XO_LtCmdr_Suder says:
::watches the CO nurse his coffee:: CO: I haven't heard from DuPont yet. I'll check it up. ::eyes him curiously, her voice lower:: CO: You get some sleep?

Host CO_Cmdr_Aan says:
::Nods.:: XO:  Too much.  We need to get on top of these insurgents before they go underground.

Host CO_Cmdr_Aan says:
CSO: Any word from the away team Ensign?

CSO_Ens_Ix says:
CO: Not yet Captain, I am trying to reach Lt. Sumner.

SO_LtJG_Sumner says:
@::after a small stream of cursing:: *CSO*: Poorly. Looks like they completely corrupted the recording system; we're not getting anything useful from it, unless you need some medi-gel packs for something.

CSO_Ens_Ix says:
CO: Oh, talked too soon. ::relays Sumner's message through speakers::

Host XO_LtCmdr_Suder says:
::smirks, remembering how little sleep A'an needed at times:: CO: Aiy sir. ::turns, sits into her own seat, flips open her armrest console and checks a few things before tapping her comm badge::

CSO_Ens_Ix says:
*SO*: I suppose they knew we would try to find them and corrupted their own records. Somehow to be expected from a Romulan crew.

Host XO_LtCmdr_Suder says:
*CMO*: Suder to DuPont...

Host CO_Cmdr_Aan says:
CSO:  Keep me posted, if don’t make any headway, we can try to find an environmental element to narrow the search.  Tap Dr. DuPont if it comes to that, he's been through a lot, but his knowledge will be helpful.

TO_Ens_Koraz says:
::hums quietly to herself  quite happily at TAC busy working away monitoring::

CMO_Ens_DuPont says:
::Recycles the Raktajino glass:: *XO* Yes Commander?

SO_LtJG_Sumner says:
@*CSO*: They definitely thought ahead. Whatever they're up to, they've been planning it for some time.

Host XO_LtCmdr_Suder says:
*CMO*: Have you any update on the Praetor and his people?

CSO_Ens_Ix says:
CO: Sumner started compiling an environmental matrix to do just that, but so far no results. Is there any more information you think we can get from the warbird?

CMO_Ens_DuPont says:
*XO* I'll have to check with the ground teams Commander. I'll let you know shortly DuPont Out!

CSO_Ens_Ix says:
*SO*: There must be some clue in there .... maybe their personal logs?

Host XO_LtCmdr_Suder says:
*CMO*: Thank you, doctor.

SO_LtJG_Sumner says:
@*CSO*: Worth a look, I suppose; I'll make my way to the computer core. ::packs up and heads for the engineering deck::

Host CO_Cmdr_Aan says:
CSO:  Other than trying to find the location from the transporter matrix, I'm open to suggestions.  Have Sumner check the transporters pattern buffers to get an idea of who beamed down, we can at least get a biological makeup of those that left, maybe one of them has something unique we can track.

Host CO_Cmdr_Aan says:
CSO: An implant or disease, hell who knows, we might get lucky.

CSO_Ens_Ix says:
::nods:: *SO*: Before you go, the Captain is asking to look into the pattern buffers to at least try to figure out their biological make up. Maybe we can use that to look for them.

Host XO_LtCmdr_Suder says:
::smirks::

CSO_Ens_Ix says:
CO: That is a good idea. And since Sumner and Adalberto made the trip to the warbird they might as well try to get as much information as possible. But Captain ....

CSO_Ens_Ix says:
CO: ...with all due respect. If we do find them, What then?

CMO_Ens_DuPont says:
::Sits down behind the computer and pulls out the the status reports from the ground team::

TO_Ens_Koraz says:
::partially listens to what is going on not really taking much notice::

Host CO_Cmdr_Aan says:
CSO:  Track them, hunt them and take them down.

CSO_Ens_Ix says:
CO: You mean making them prisoners? Taking them with us?

Host XO_LtCmdr_Suder says:
::chimes in:: CO/CSO: From what DuPont told me, it appears the man he was kidnapped to nurse back to health appeared to him to be more important than he was lead to believe. If nothing else, I think we need to locate him.

Host CO_Cmdr_Aan says:
TO:  You need to have a team ready to go on a moments notice, we find them, their not going to stay put for long.

CSO_Ens_Ix says:
::nods:: XO: That would explain why they were so eager to kidnap Doctor DuPont in the first place.

Host CO_Cmdr_Aan says:
CSO:  Prisoners yes, but not ours, we turn them over to the local government once they've re-established themselves.

TO_Ens_Koraz says:
CO: Teams are ready sir

Host XO_LtCmdr_Suder says:
CSO: Hm. That's my thinking. CSO/CO: I think the rest can disappear for all I care. I expect they beamed down and split up to make it more difficult for us to focus.

Host CO_Cmdr_Aan says:
XO:  Possibly a major player in the coup.

Host Andrew says:
<ACO_Cmdr_Idrani> COM: CO: Idrani to A'an.

SO_LtJG_Sumner says:
@*CSO*: Ask the Captain what part of "they corrupted the system and made it useless" he didn't understand. Or, if you feel like being nice, just tell him the buffers are part of the recording system. Either way.

Host XO_LtCmdr_Suder says:
::nods to the CO, her face determined::

Host CO_Cmdr_Aan says:
XO:  Now that you mention it...  ::Taps his combadge.:: *CMO*:  A'an to Dupont.

CMO_Ens_DuPont says:
*CO* Yes Captain?

TO_Ens_Koraz says:
::wonders to herself if they have a safe house down there some where and how she would go about finding it::

CSO_Ens_Ix says:
*SO*: Understood. There is a new piece of information. Apparently there was someone of importance to the Vendori aboard, the one who needed medical attention. Perhaps you can try to find some clue of who he is in the logs? Or in sickbay?

Host CO_Cmdr_Aan says:
::Frowns.:: SO:  Tell Mr. Sumner I doubt they could corrupt the Transporter pad itself since they were already gone!  Check the damn hardware, not the software.

SO_LtJG_Sumner says:
@::sets up in the computer core and checks the status of the log system:: *CSO*: I'll add it to the list, but don't hold your breath. These guys were thorough.

TO_Ens_Koraz says:
::raises her eyebrow at the CO's response and wonders what the reply will be::

Host XO_LtCmdr_Suder says:
COM: ACO: Captain. ::nods::

CSO_Ens_Ix says:
CO: I will relay your message but I think the Romulans knew exactly what they were doing.

Host CO_Cmdr_Aan says:
*CMO*:  When you were operating on the insurgent leader, did you perform anything or discover anything about him that would make him stand out in a scan?  Something we could track

Host Andrew says:
<ACO_Cmdr_Idrani> COM: XO: Ah, Commander Suder. ::smiles:: My away team informs me that the Warbird is ours - they've broken through the encryption.

CSO_Ens_Ix says:
::removes Sumner from speakers just in case:: *SO*: I take it you looked at hardware of the transporter buffers? That seems to be where the Captain thought the records would be.

CMO_Ens_DuPont says:
*CO* We'll I was more interested in his brain at the time, but I'm sure I'll be able to identify him should I see him again

Host XO_LtCmdr_Suder says:
::stands up from her seat and positions herself in from of the view screen:: COM: Scimitar: ACO: Great news. A hell of a trophy to bring home, sir.

Host Andrew says:
<ACO_Cmdr_Idrani> COM: XO: ::grins:: Tell me about it! I plan to keep it cloaked and scare the living daylights out of Captain Rome with it.

Host CO_Cmdr_Aan says:
*CMO*:  What about implants or something unique about his physiology?  Maybe something we can use to find him?

Host XO_LtCmdr_Suder says:
::smirks for the second time this shift:: COM: Scimitar: ACO: Be sure to let me know how that goes.  ::relaxes and folds her arms:: We're still trying to track down those that beamed to the surface. No luck so far.

SO_LtJG_Sumner says:
@*CSO*: Remind me to take the time to explain to the Captain how software and hardware interact with each other. The transporters are a lost cause. And it's looking like the logs are, as well. If I knew anything about Romulan kernel programming...

Host Andrew says:
<ACO_Cmdr_Idrani> COM: XO: Well, I am scheduled to speak with Starfleet Command shortly. Please keep us informed. ::nods::

CSO_Ens_Ix says:
*SO*: Understood.

CSO_Ens_Ix says:
*SO*: Are you ready to return or would you like to explore further?

CMO_Ens_DuPont says:
*CO* Hmm give me a few minutes Captain, I did use a number of Romulan medical implements and the like I'll let you know if its possible to track them

Host XO_LtCmdr_Suder says:
COM: ACO: Aiy aiy, sir. ::smiles warmly and nods sharply:: Kraken out.

SO_LtJG_Sumner says:
@*CSO*: I think Adalberto wants to check a few things in engineering; unless you need me, I'll stick around and keep him company.

CMO_Ens_DuPont says:
::Pulls up the romulan medical database and begins scanning through it::

CSO_Ens_Ix says:
*SO* I will take every opportunity to know more about our new Romulan friends. So by all means, explore away. Anything that will give us a tactical advantage will be important.

Host CO_Cmdr_Aan says:
XO:  This is looking more an more like something we're not going to be able to address without seriously pushing our authority here.

Host XO_LtCmdr_Suder says:
::strolls  over to the CO:: CO: You get all that? The Scimitar have broken through the warbird's encryptions. They have control of her.

Host CO_Cmdr_Aan says:
::Nods:: XO:  And the Praetors got himself squared away enough to make do it seems.  Given they've lost the advantage, I don't think the rebels are going to show themselves any time soon.  I'll contact the Admiral, get the final word.

SO_LtJG_Sumner says:
@*CSO*: Might be worth getting a closer look at their cloaking device. The sensor modifications we got from Starfleet are anything but complete.

SO_LtJG_Sumner says:
@::sets about getting detailed scans of the cloaking device::

CSO_Ens_Ix says:
*SO*: Good idea. And also their weapons, maybe we can find something that interferes with them.

Host CO_Cmdr_Aan says:
XO:  Patch me in a channel to Admiral Rice and pipe it into my ready room.  ::Stands and moves to the door.:: XO: You have the bridge.

Host XO_LtCmdr_Suder says:
::nods, letting her arms drop to her sides. Raises a hand and rests it on A'an's arm briefly:: CO: I need a moment when things calm down, here.

Host CO_Cmdr_Aan says:
::Nods.::

Host XO_LtCmdr_Suder says:
::gets to work on that communiqué::

CSO_Ens_Ix says:
::continues scans of the planet, but mostly concentrates on looking for disturbances like weapons fire::

Host CO_Cmdr_Aan says:
::Sits at his desk and pulls up the monitor, waiting for the connection.::

Host XO_LtCmdr_Suder says:
::watches the CO's door close as she gets patched through to the central relay. Diverts the channel to the CO's ready room and sits back in the XO's chair::

CMO_Ens_DuPont says:
*CO* DuPont to Aan

Host CO_Cmdr_Aan says:
*CMO*: Go ahead doctor.

CSO_Ens_Ix says:
XO/TO: The situations looks pretty calm on the planet's surface. At least for now, our mission is complete.

TO_Ens_Koraz says:
::nods to the CSO in acknowledgement::

CMO_Ens_DuPont says:
*CO* Captain I believe we might be able to track the aesthetic I used providing engineering can modify some tricorders

Host CO_Cmdr_Aan says:
*CMO*:  Contact Ensign Ix and see if she can get the ball rolling, provide them with any data you can.

Host Andrew says:
<ADM_Rice> COM: CO: You rang, Captain?

Host XO_LtCmdr_Suder says:
CSO: Thank you, Ensign. We'll just sit, wait for the Admiral's approval and then get a move on.

Host CO_Cmdr_Aan says:
COM: ADM_Rice:  Yes sir, I wanted to provide you with an update and get a final decision on our next course of action.

TO_Ens_Koraz says:
XO: Ma'am if I am not needed on the bridge I will head down to the brig to sort some bits out?

Host Andrew says:
<ADM_Rice> COM: CO: Please, it's ma'am or Admiral. ::smiles:: And I'm not really used to those titles either, even after all these years. ::waves a dismissive hand:: Anyway, to business. Please, go ahead.

Host XO_LtCmdr_Suder says:
::gives the TO an apprising look, thinks for a moment, raises an eyebrow and nods:: TO: Find a replacement and you can be dismissed.

TO_Ens_Koraz says:
::nods to the XO and taps her comm badge and orders up her replacement::

Host CO_Cmdr_Aan says:
COM: ADM_Rice:  We've managed to establish the relief station, as well as rescue the local Praetor and his staff.  They've resettled and seem to be making headway.  We've also ended the immediate threat of the insurgent Vendori and take control of their ship.  A few of them managed to escape to the surface, but finding a few Romulans on a planet full of them is proving difficult.  Were making a few last ditch efforts, but I'm not holding out much hope.  They've escaped, for now at least, and getting any more involved is going to start making people nervous.  I'm not sure there's much more we can do here without creating an even bigger incident.

Host XO_LtCmdr_Suder says:
COM: ACO: Suder to Idrani. ::leans on her elbow on the right armrest in the XO's chair::

Host Andrew says:
<ACO_Cmdr_Idrani> COM: XO: Go ahead.

TO_Ens_Koraz says:
::see her replacement and leaves he bridge:: TL: Brig

Host XO_LtCmdr_Suder says:
COM: ACO: Update for you, Captain. It appears as if things are settling down below. Word has it we'll be bugging out soon.

Host Andrew says:
<ADM_Rice> COM: CO: A tricky situation, yes. ::pauses while thinking:: The Romulans seem to be getting a bit tense about Starfleet being in their territory. ::shrugs:: Seems a bit silly to me being as they need all the help they can get. Either way, we'll be withdrawing the Kraken from their space soon.

CMO_Ens_DuPont says:
::double checks his calculations::

Host Andrew says:
<ACO_Cmdr_Idrani> COM: XO: yes, I heard the same rumour. Seems tensions are rising on the diplomats tables.

TO_Ens_Koraz says:
::leaves the TL and enters the Brig, walks up to the replicator, orders a coffee and sits down putting her feet up on the table taking a sip of her coffee::

Host CO_Cmdr_Aan says:
COM: ADM_Rice:  Understood, we'll contact the Praetor and make sure he's aware of the situation and offer any further help we can.  Once we get the word, we'll collect our people and get under way.

Host Andrew says:
<ADM_Rice> COM: CO: Agreed. Good work out there, Captain. I know it hasn't been easy.

Host XO_LtCmdr_Suder says:
COM: ACO: And Starfleet uniforms are making certain factions jumpy. ::nods:: Hope to cross paths again before long, Captain.

TO_Ens_Koraz says:
::opens her draw and pulls out a little handmade device that looks very old, switches it on and starts to play an old earth game called pac man::

Host CO_Cmdr_Aan says:
COM: ADM_Rice:  The old girls got a few dings, but she's holding together.  We'll keep you informed, Kraken out.

Host Andrew says:
<ACO_Cmdr_Idrani> COM: XO: I certainly hope so, Commander - it's been a pleasure. Maybe next time you can save our butts. ::smiles:: All the best. Scimitar out.

SO_LtJG_Sumner says:
@::watches the results of the scans and starts getting crazy ideas::

Host XO_LtCmdr_Suder says:
::smiles, nods and watches the screen go dark:: Self: Hm. Nice guy. I wonder what's wrong with him...
