XO_LtCmdr_Idrani says:
::walks onto the bridge::
CTO_LtJG_Adalberto says:
::stands up:: XO: Sir.
CTO_LtJG_Adalberto says:
XO: I stand relieved....finally. ::walks over to the tactical station::
XO_LtCmdr_Idrani says:
CTO: Come with me. ::motions to the FCO:: FCO: Bridge is yours and see if you can keep it cleaner than Adalberto.
FCO_Ens_Uax says:
::sitting at the helm keeping us at our current location::
CTO_LtJG_Adalberto says:
XO: Aye sir.
XO_LtCmdr_Idrani says:
::walks into the conference room with S'Tan and Prhatten::
CTO_LtJG_Adalberto says:
::follows him inside::
XO_LtCmdr_Idrani says:
Prhatten: I have done more research this week.
XO_LtCmdr_Idrani says:
Prhatten/S'Tan: And I see you two are brothers. What I didn't know is that your father was the leader of your previous government.
CTO_LtJG_Adalberto says:
::wonders if these two have even left the conference room this past week::

Action: Both Prhatten and S'Tan simply look at the XO to listen to what he has to say.

<TO_Williams>::steps into the Turbolift::

<TO_Williams>::pushes the red button::

FCO_Ens_Uax says:
::keeping an eye on the warp core for further signs of it going critical :: 
XO_LtCmdr_Idrani says:
Prhatten/S'Tan: Let me see if I have this right... you both bickered but Prhatten, you took control.
XO_LtCmdr_Idrani says:
Prhatten: Your brother wasn't political, was he; well not until you didn't give him a choice.

Action: The turbo lift sudden starts to shudder, the lights dim slightly and a high pitched noise starts to increase in volume by the second.

CTO_LtJG_Adalberto says:
::stands around idly, wondering if they could go back to the Starbase sooner rather than later to get the warp core offline and the system overhauled::

<TO_Williams>::braces himself in the turbolift:: *Bridge*: BRIDGE! This is Lieutenant Williams in turbolift Alpha! Shut it down, shut it down!

XO_LtCmdr_Idrani says:
Prhatten: I have found evidence that you tried to have him assassinated. ::points to S'Tan:: And that is a crime, and that means you can no longer be Governor. You are removed from the election list.
XO_LtCmdr_Idrani says:
S'Tan: So it's down to you and the third party. Which means... most probably, you are the new Governor.

Scene: Phratten wants to get up and say something, but decides against such action, after seeing the CTO could weave his big gun around.

XO_LtCmdr_Idrani says:
CTO: Escort former Governor Prhatten away. Let the security forces on O'Ryans planet sort him out.
CTO_LtJG_Adalberto says:
XO: Aye sir. ::taps his phaser by his side::
CTO_LtJG_Adalberto says:
Prhatten: Please come with me, sir.

<Prhatten> ::Silently gets up and follows the CTO, but before heading out he glares at S'Tan for a moment, then turns to face the door again.::

XO_LtCmdr_Idrani says:
S'Tan: When you are ready, please feel free to return to your planet, and S'Tan, thank you for your cooperation and support. I am sure that ties between your world and the Federation can be strong again.
CTO_LtJG_Adalberto says:
::leads the man out of the conference lounge and across the Bridge towards the Turbolift::
XO_LtCmdr_Idrani says:
::goes back to the bridge and sits in the centre chair, assuming the CO is with Lorianna on a date or something:: FCO: Report.

Action: As the CTO and Prhatten arrive at the turbolift, they hear a high pitched whine coming from the shaft, then a big WOOOSH and the whine fades away again.

CTO_LtJG_Adalberto says:
::stops as the doors stay shut:: All: Is there something wrong with the lifts?
CTO_LtJG_Adalberto says:
::tries again but the doors don't open::
XO_LtCmdr_Idrani says:
::Stands:: CTO: Problem?

Action: After a little while the high pitched whine comes back again, another WOOOSH and the whine fades once more.

XO_LtCmdr_Idrani says:
CTO: I know technology advanced but sometimes I wish there were handles.
CTO_LtJG_Adalberto says:
XO: The Turbolift is....::hears the whine and it's gone:: okay that's just weird sir.
FCO_Ens_Uax says:
::looks back from her seat at the helm:: ALL: Now what pre tell is going on! 
XO_LtCmdr_Idrani says:
CTO: Hmm. I haven't seen the Captain recently. I hope he isn't being thrown around like a Targ at a Klingon rodeo in there.

Scene: On the bridge they can hear the whine of the turbolift approaching.

XO_LtCmdr_Idrani says:
FCO: You tell me Ensign. I did ask for a report,
CTO_LtJG_Adalberto says:
::chuckles at the thought, then composes himself in front of his prisoner::
CTO_LtJG_Adalberto says:
::taps his badge:: *Brig*: Brig, this is Adalberto. Please lock on to the former Governor Prhatten here beside me and transport him to holding cell 1.

FCO_Ens_Uax says:
XO: No you didn't but I'll get right on it. 
XO_LtCmdr_Idrani says:
FCO: I did. Perhaps some extra duties would make your ears work?
XO_LtCmdr_Idrani says:
CTO: Let the FCO try the lift first. I wouldn't want our guest getting hurt.
CTO_LtJG_Adalberto says:
XO: Sir....from the sounds of it, taking the lift will most definitely hurt him!
CTO_LtJG_Adalberto says:
*Brig*: Transport.
FCO_Ens_Uax says:
XO: Excuse me! I beg to differ. Internal sensors say there's a problem with the turbolift system. Shall I shut it down. 
XO_LtCmdr_Idrani says:
Computer: Who is in the lift?
XO_LtCmdr_Idrani says:
FCO: No need to beg, just do it.

<Computer> XO: TO Williams sir.

XO_LtCmdr_Idrani says:
Computer: Thank you... maam...

<Computer> XO: You're most welcome sir.

FCO_Ens_Uax says:
::hits a few commands bringing the turbolift system to a halt ::

Action: The turbolift stops at the bridge, the doors slide open and the TO is hurled across the bridge. At the same time the CTO and Prhatten are beamed towards Cell 1 in the brig.

XO_LtCmdr_Idrani says:
::makes sure he is out of the way of the flying tactical officer:: TO: Now THAT is definitely the kind of enthusiasm I like to see. Good job!

<TO_Williams>::gets thrown across the floor, collapsing to his knees in the middle of it:: Self: GOD!

XO_LtCmdr_Idrani says:
TO: Just call me Commander. ::offers a hand::

<TO_Williams>::takes his hand and stands up, his knees shaking and looking pale::

XO_LtCmdr_Idrani says:
TO: I think you'd better head for Sickbay

<TO_Williams>XO: I'm.......I'm......not taking the lift…

XO_LtCmdr_Idrani says:
TO: Try the other one...
CMO_LtJG_Balena says:
::arrives back in sickbay and starts to put back his equipment::
CTO_LtJG_Adalberto says:
::Escorts Prhatten into Holding cell 1:: Prhatten: Now relax, and we'll have you back to your O'Reilley's or Ryans or O'Donnely's planet.

XO_LtCmdr_Idrani says:
*Shipwide*: All hands. We are preparing to disembark.
CMO_LtJG_Balena says:
Self: It’s about time.

<TO_Williams>::looks at the XO terrified then nods and walks over to the turbolift and slowly steps inside:: TL: Sickbay...

XO_LtCmdr_Idrani says:
FCO: Lay in a course... Andorian homeworld.

FCO_Ens_Uax says:
XO: Aye sir. course laid in 
XO_LtCmdr_Idrani says:
FCO: I think the crew could use some shore leave somewhere different. And it's beautiful this time of... well it's beautiful.
XO_LtCmdr_Idrani says:
FCO: And we could use an overhaul there too.
FCO_Ens_Uax says:
XO: I would agree. 

Action: A subspace message comes in, resulting in a light blinking at the OPS console.

XO_LtCmdr_Idrani says:
*Shipwide*: All hands report ready to depart, all non essential crew disembark.

<OPS_Zen> ::sees the flashing thingymajig:: XO: Sir.. incoming message.

XO_LtCmdr_Idrani says:
OPS: Let’s hear it.
CTO_LtJG_Adalberto says:
::arrives back on the Bridge and takes the Tactical station:: XO: Lifts work fine.
XO_LtCmdr_Idrani says:
CTO: Good to hear.

<Message from Starfleet> XO: Captain, we have received word of your successful mission. You are therefore granted shore leave. The brass has decided you have earned some well deserved rest on Starbase 102. Congratulations and have a safe trip back home.

XO_LtCmdr_Idrani says:
Self: But...but... I wanted... Andor...its... FCO: Change course to new heading 172 mark 68.
XO_LtCmdr_Idrani says:
::sits down and covers a sulk::
FCO_Ens_Uax says:
XO: Understood. Course laid in and ready to depart 
XO_LtCmdr_Idrani says:
::waits for the all clear from departments:: FCO: Engage.
CMO_LtJG_Balena says:
::exits sickbay and enters a nearby turbolift:: Turbolift: Bridge
XO_LtCmdr_Idrani says:
::makes the famous gesture::
CTO_LtJG_Adalberto says:
XO: Sir....our guests?
FCO_Ens_Uax says:
XO: Yes sir. Maximum warp engaging

Action: A small cargo vessel arrives near the Scimitar.

FCO_Ens_Uax says:
XO: A small cargo ship has appeared near the scimitar.
XO_LtCmdr_Idrani says:
FCO: Identify.

Action: The cargo vessel is hailing

XO_LtCmdr_Idrani says:
::answers hails::
FCO_Ens_Uax says:
XO: Scanning the ship now. 
FCO_Ens_Uax says:
XO: It's a Ferengi cargo ship.
CTO_LtJG_Adalberto says:
XO: Can I shoot it?
XO_LtCmdr_Idrani says:
CTO: Behave.
CTO_LtJG_Adalberto says:
XO: Aye...::sulks mockingly::

<Ferengi vessel> Prak'tar: XO: Hail oh mighty starfleet officer. We are here to offer you some of our goods.

XO_LtCmdr_Idrani says:
COM: Prak'tar: Not today, we're on holiday. Thank you.
CMO_LtJG_Balena says:
::steps onto the bridge::
XO_LtCmdr_Idrani says:
CMO: Good to have you back Doctor. All is well, I presume?
CTO_LtJG_Adalberto says:
XO: The local government awaits our guests eagerly sir, I have received beam down coordinates. We can swing by the planet, transport the lot off and then get the hell out of this system and back to civilization where I can shoot at something.
CMO_LtJG_Balena says:
XO: As can be after leaving a planet destroyed by war sir.
CTO_LtJG_Adalberto says:
::salutes the CMO:: CMO: What's up Doc.

<Prak'Tar> COM: XO: But you haven't even looked at our goods yet. We have nice Denobulan slaves here, some are pretty... err... skilled. ::smiles nervously as he cautiously makes a motion somewhere off screen.:

CMO_LtJG_Balena says:
CTO: Just another long day at the office
XO_LtCmdr_Idrani says:
CMO: Well good job we were here to swoop in and save the day then. COM: Prak'Tar: Denobulan Slaves? You do know slaves are illegal in Federation space? FCO: Set course to intercept vessel and come to a full stop.
CTO_LtJG_Adalberto says:
XO: Can I shoot them now?
FCO_Ens_Uax says:
XO: Understood, course altered and we're on our way.

Action: The com is immediately broken and the vessel starts to manoeuvre away from the Scimitar and raise shields.

CTO_LtJG_Adalberto says:
XO: I can try and lock on with a tractor beam, sir ?
XO_LtCmdr_Idrani says:
::is so close to just putting his head in his hands:: CTO: Maybe... COM: Prak'Tar: Come to a stop and lower your shields. Prepare to be boarded.
XO_LtCmdr_Idrani says:
CTO: If they don't stop, make them.
CMO_LtJG_Balena says:
XO: Thank you sir but I think we could have done more.

Action: The XO's hail is being ignored and the Ferengi vessel increases speed.

CTO_LtJG_Adalberto says:
::prepares a tractor beam and also locks on to their propulsion systems with their weapons::
XO_LtCmdr_Idrani says:
CMO: Saved a few million lives.... I think that's enough for one day. Self: But no… there had to be Ferengi…
CTO_LtJG_Adalberto says:
XO: Initiating tractor beam
XO_LtCmdr_Idrani says:
FCO: On screen. Keep with them.

Action: The tractor beam grabs hold of the Ferengi vessel and the speed decreases... slightly.

FCO_Ens_Uax says:
XO: Understood. Keeping up 
XO_LtCmdr_Idrani says:
CTO: I don't have all day. Disable that ship, now.
CMO_LtJG_Balena says:
CTO: What’s going on?
CTO_LtJG_Adalberto says:
XO: They're trying to break free Sir, I'll attempt to increase power.
CTO_LtJG_Adalberto says:
XO: Understood. ::goes to red alert and fires all phasers at the propulsion system::
XO_LtCmdr_Idrani says:
CTO: But don't destroy it... I know you can get too trigger happy sometimes.
CTO_LtJG_Adalberto says:
XO: Hey...you do your job, and I'll do mine.

Action: The phasers take out the ships propulsion systems, but the blast was strong enough to severly damage their life support as well.

CTO_LtJG_Adalberto says:
XO: Mostly..
CMO_LtJG_Balena says:
XO: Should I be expecting more wounded?
XO_LtCmdr_Idrani says:
CTO: Excuse me? I know I don't have Ferengi ears but I'm sure I heard you say you knew what you were doing...
XO_LtCmdr_Idrani says:
CMO: Apparently. Ask the CTO. He seems to be deciding.
CTO_LtJG_Adalberto says:
XO: Seems their systems are more or less held together by space tape...
CTO_LtJG_Adalberto says:
XO: Not my fault!
XO_LtCmdr_Idrani says:
CTO: Its a pity we don't have any.
CTO_LtJG_Adalberto says:
XO: Well they stopped, what more do you want?
FCO_Ens_Uax says:
CTO: ::looks back:: it is your fault, You don’t' know how to aim well it appears.

Action: A distress beacon on board the Ferengi vessel is activated.

CTO_LtJG_Adalberto says:
FCO: Don't you make an enemy of me, Ensign.
XO_LtCmdr_Idrani says:
CTO: Beam the crew to the brig. They can stay there until we get to Starbase. Then get that ship in tow.
XO_LtCmdr_Idrani says:
FCO: Shut up and drive.
CTO_LtJG_Adalberto says:
XO: Yes sir.
FCO_Ens_Uax says:
::shrugs off the CTO and goes back to her duties:: 
CTO_LtJG_Adalberto says:
::informs the Brig to expect incoming, then locks on to the Ferengi on the ship::
XO_LtCmdr_Idrani says:
::is starting to REALLY understand why the CO needs coffee::
CTO_LtJG_Adalberto says:
XO: Transport complete.
XO_LtCmdr_Idrani says:
CTO: How many Ferengi and how many Denobulans?

Scene: The brig is getting rather overcrowded with Ferengi and Denobulans.

Action: With the Ferengi and Denobulans combined in their cells, little fights start to break out.

XO_LtCmdr_Idrani says:
CTO: When you're finished here, get down to the Brig please and sort out the criminals from the victims.
CTO_LtJG_Adalberto says:
::gets the report from the Brig:: XO: Aye sir....I'm on it!
CTO_LtJG_Adalberto says:
::steps into the Turbolift: Turbolift: Brig.
XO_LtCmdr_Idrani says:
::goes and gets Andorian coffee from the replicator::

Action: With the CTO cleaning up the mess in the brig, the crew on the bridge hear another whine approaching. When the doors open, a very nauseated CO stumbles from the turbolift, not even capable of muttering the words "report" as he drops to the floor, exhausted. The Scimitar finally shoots off to Starbase 102 for a well deserved shore leave.
