Last time on the Scimitar...

The Scimitar crew continued to debate various options, including using a modified headpiece to communicate with the other bidders. They picked up a very minor fluctuation near the Tholian ship, but it disappeared as quickly as it arose.

After deliberation, they rejoined the auction room and heard that the Vidiians were after information and knowledge. After bidding the Starfleet Medical database, the crew lost the bid for the harvester weapon to the Romulans - a devastating blow.

While the crew continued to converse with the Vidiians and bidders, the CO received notification that the OPS officer had received some strange readings from the Jem Hadar vessel, it was full of Tholians...

<<<<<<<<<<Resume Mission - Out of the Shadows, Part 5 >>>>>>>>>>

XO Lt.Cmdr Ro`kar says:
::looking at the rest of the list of items disheartedly::

CO Capt. Rome says:
XO: So....Tholians onboard a Jem'hadar cruiser.....any ideas?

CMO Cmdr. Bauer says:
::On the bridge, working on information packs and feeling like a traitor for bargaining with Federation knowledge::

FCO Ens. Uax says:
:: sitting at the helm trying to figure out possible escape routes if need be :: 

XO Lt.Cmdr Ro`kar says:
CO: A trap perhaps?

CO Capt. Rome says:
XO: If I remember my history correctly.....the Romulans once used a device to mimic other vessels on a drone vessel...sometime around 2160

CO Capt. Rome says:
Self: Direct all passive scans on that vessel Zen.....but be subtle.

XO Lt.Cmdr Ro`kar says:
CO: The question is why, sir? ::thinks to himself:: Self: And how do we get out of this alive?

CO Capt. Rome says:
XO: One thing at a time. ::smiles::

CO Capt. Rome says:
::Steps forward and directs his attention to the Jem'hadar delegates::

FCO Ens. Uax says:
ALL: Now I seem to recall another time where federation vessels were trapped in the same net, how did they get out that time? 

Vidiian says:
::finishes with his console:: All: Let us move on to the next item.

CMO Cmdr. Bauer says:
::Listening in on the bridge conversation, not sure what to make of it all.  Continues compiling bidding chips::

ACTION: Item two is an advanced medical tool, far more advanced than any Starfleet tools.

CO Capt. Rome says:
Jem'hadar: Hey, out of curiosity. How did you get permission to travel here? I thought no dominion cruisers could enter this area of space.

ACTION: The Jem'Hadar ignores the Captain completely.

Vidiian says:
All: Let the bidding begin! Enter your bids now.

CO Capt. Rome says:
::raises an eyebrow at the lack of response, from what he had read the Jem'hadar were even more temperamental than Klingons::

XO Lt.Cmdr Ro`kar says:
Vidiian: Could you tell us more about this device? can it be used to treat breaks?

XO Lt.Cmdr Ro`kar says:
::whispers:: CO/CMO: I am trying to stall for time, sir.

CO Capt. Rome says:
Vidiian: I too would like to know of it's power usage.

CO Capt. Rome says:
::winks at Ren::

CO Capt. Rome says:
::nods to Bauer:: CMO: What do we have ?

CMO Cmdr. Bauer says:
XO: I don't like the idea of giving up any of this to these guys but, I'll bid the medical database, see if it works this time.

CO Capt. Rome says:
::gives a thumbs-up to the doctor:: CMO: Let's hope it's more effective this time around.

XO Lt.Cmdr Ro`kar says:
CMO: Good plan. Keep bidding the medical database, we are bound to win at some point ::smiles thinly::

CMO Cmdr. Bauer says:
CO: It seems appropriate medical info for medical instrument.  No one has better medical than us.

Vidiian says:
CO/XO: For more information, read the padd you were all provided with. Bidding ends in 30 seconds.

CO Capt. Rome says:
::looks distracted:: Self: Just like the tellarite incident in 2160...

CMO Cmdr. Bauer says:
::Enters the bid, the entire Federation Medical Database Library::

CO Capt. Rome says:
XO: Ren, I need to consult the Bridge. Take over here, I will return soon.

XO Lt.Cmdr Ro`kar says:
CO: Aye, sir

CO Capt. Rome says:
::disengages his headseat and returns to 'reality'::

CO Capt. Rome says:
::taps his badge:: *CIV*: Captain Wuer, if you have finished settling in....I could use your scientific experise on the Bridge asap.

CMO Cmdr. Bauer says:
XO: Sharing medical information is one thing, its okay, its the humanitarian thing to do but, I'm still not so sure we should give them anything else, especially if it can be used for negative reasons and with this crowd you know that's a given.

Vidiian says:
All: Bidding ends... let's see... very interesting... Klingons offer all info on the Romulans... Federation offer medical database. Our species have advanced medically beyond anything you can dream of, but this information is still very interesting.

Vidiian says:
::pauses:: CMO: We accept your bid. ::nods::

XO Lt.Cmdr Ro`kar says:
::smiles:: CMO: Hurrah, we won!

CMO Cmdr. Bauer says:
XO/FCO: They accepted! Now what?

CMO Cmdr. Bauer says:
Vidiian: Umm, thanks?  I think.

CIV Capt. Wuer says:
::hears the comm and looks around his quarters:: *CO*: Settled, well probably.  Neededing to get on with something definatly

OPS Lt. Zen says:
CO: Sir, incoming transport... its the medical device and.. incoming data stream. Let's call it the manual.

FCO Ens. Uax says:
:: looks around at the participants still involved :: 

CO Capt. Rome says:
*CIV*: Please hurry, I think we have a slight problem. Rome out.

CO Capt. Rome says:
OPS: Secure the device until we can scan it for bugs.

ACTION: The Vidiian pauses and tenses.

Vidiian says:
All: The auction will continue...in... some ...minutes.

CMO Cmdr. Bauer says:
XO: Gee, what ever we just bought, I suppose it being mine is out, huh?  Probably have to turn it over to somebody, huh?  You think I could play with it first?

CIV Capt. Wuer says:
::heads out of his quarters towards the nearest TL::

XO Lt.Cmdr Ro`kar says:
Vidiian: Is something wrong?

ACTION: The meeting is abrubtly ended and the crew returned to reality.

XO Lt.Cmdr Ro`kar says:
CO: Captain, the meeting abruptly ended

CO Capt. Rome says:
XO: That.....means something bad.

XO Lt.Cmdr Ro`kar says:
OPS: Mister Zen, are you picking up something on your scans?

CMO Cmdr. Bauer says:
::Back on bridge after removing the helmet.  Needs to run his comb through his hair, again::

FCO Ens. Uax says:
:: looks up at the view screen and then taps a few commands into the console :: 

FCO Ens. Uax says:
CO: wasn't a federation vessel trapped in one of these things at one point and does anyone remember how they got out, because I have a really bad feeling.. 

CO Capt. Rome says:
XO: Ren, take my headset. Try and contact the Klingons alone.

OPS Lt. Zen says:
XO: There... that flicker again. This time for longer, and it's not just the Vidiian ship either. I detected the same readings from the Romulan vessel albeit very weak..and our ship too!

CIV Capt. Wuer says:
::steps out onto the bridge, his first time on any bridge, yet alone a Akira class bridge since his sectioning after his court martial::

CO Capt. Rome says:
OPS: I want to know what that means, mister.

XO Lt.Cmdr Ro`kar says:
CO: Aye sir ::Takes the headset and starts trying to 'tune in' ::

CMO Cmdr. Bauer says:
FCO: I think that should be your project, Ensign, figure out how we can fly out of here, in case anyone else thinks its a good idea.

CO Capt. Rome says:
CIV: Tobius. Been a while, welcome aboard the Scimitar. I wish I could have met you under better circumstances, like that dinner I promised.

XO Lt.Cmdr Ro`kar says:
COM: Klingons: Hello? Klingons are you there?

CIV Capt. Wuer says:
::walks towards the CO:: CO: Thank you Captain Rome, Dr. Tobius Wuer, science specialist reporting for duty...

CIV Capt. Wuer says:
::puts out his hand::

FCO Ens. Uax says:
CMO I'm way ahead of you on that one.. been working the main computer for some time now.

OPS Lt. Zen says:
CO: I don't know what it means, Sir, but I'm picking up definite traces of...something...

CO Capt. Rome says:
::shakes his hand:: CIV: Welcome back to active duty, and now I need something from you....we think that Jem'hadar vessel is indeed something else...

CMO Cmdr. Bauer says:
::Looks to see a new face enter the bridge.  Looks over catalogue to see what item number three is going to be::

OPS Lt. Zen says:
CO: It's like it was slightly out of phase.

XO Lt.Cmdr Ro`kar says:
::starts fiddling with the controls again::

CO Capt. Rome says:
::points to Zen:: CIV: As you can hear, my operations officer needs some assistance with all of this.

CMO Cmdr. Bauer says:
FCO: I'm glad to hear it.  I'm ready to go when the Captain is.

OPS Lt. Zen says:
CO: Thanks, just the boost of confidence I needed.

CO Capt. Rome says:
::gives Zen a thumbs-up::

OPS Lt. Zen says:
::cant cover a grin::

CIV Capt. Wuer says:
::walks towards the OPS station:: OPS: What have you found Mr Zen

CO Capt. Rome says:
::looks at Tobius and thinks he looks older...more tired then when they last met during a conference:: 

OPS Lt. Zen says:
CIV: Well, the Vidiian vessel seems to go so slightly out of phase every now and then... I don't know what it is. ::turns his console for better viewing::

CIV Capt. Wuer says:
::feels like the CO will be auditing him.... feeling personally a little rusty::

CO Capt. Rome says:
::stands up:: XO: Any luck ?

XO Lt.Cmdr Ro`kar says:
::Takes off the helmet:: CO: No luck, sir, stupid thing needs a kick or something...

CMO Cmdr. Bauer says:
CO: I think he needs a dime, Klingons don't accept collect calls. ::Smiles::

CO Capt. Rome says:
::grins and takes the headset from Ren and starts fiddling with the controls on the side::

XO Lt.Cmdr Ro`kar says:
CMO: Did you manage to scan the medical device we 'won'? ::touches the CO on the arm:: CO: Captain its no use, the signals have completely dropped. Doesn't take an engineer to see that the device is completely deactivated

FCO Ens. Uax says:
XO: I think i have something.

XO Lt.Cmdr Ro`kar says:
FCO: Do tell ::looks at the FCO::

CMO Cmdr. Bauer says:
XO: No.  I wasn't sure I was allowed near it.  Can I take it to Sickbay and check it out?

CIV Capt. Wuer says:
::moves closer to the console for a better view:: OPS: Any sign of chronotron particles?

XO Lt.Cmdr Ro`kar says:
CMO: I'd rather it stayed in quarantine, can you run scans remotely?

CO Capt. Rome says:
CMO: Inspect the device, make sure it does what they say it does.

OPS Lt. Zen says:
CIV: Chronoton particles... not that I can see.

CO Capt. Rome says:
XO: Sorry Ren, I need to know we didn't pay for snake oil.

CMO Cmdr. Bauer says:
XO: I can set up quarentine protocols best in Sickbay.

CMO Cmdr. Bauer says:
CO: Aye, Sir.

FCO Ens. Uax says:
XO: Aparently if my information is correct if we can somehow 'phase' we can slip out of this net.

CIV Capt. Wuer says:
::points at the screen:: OPS: It like there moving out of out universe

OPS Lt. Zen says:
CIV: Yes... I wonder what the other species here are making of it.

CO Capt. Rome says:
CIV: Excuse me? I'm not doing that again. ::Stands up::

ACTION: The Romulan ship cloaks.

XO Lt.Cmdr Ro`kar says:
Self: I don't like this. ::turns to OPS:: OPS: Zen, can you raise our shields?

CMO Cmdr. Bauer says:
::Takes the resently purchased medical thingy and reads up on the schematics and product description, as well as the complete operating instructions::  Self: So, what does this thing do?

OPS Lt. Zen says:
XO: Aye Maam. Raising shields... as are everyone else out there except the wounded Gorn!

CIV Capt. Wuer says:
OPS: I'm a bit rusty but ::points at some data:: does that indicate we are also being affected by the phasing?

XO Lt.Cmdr Ro`kar says:
::looks at his chest then at Zen, sighs deeply::

CO Capt. Rome says:
CIV: Do you remember the USS Defiant....the Constitution class one ?

CIV Capt. Wuer says:
CO: I rememver reading about? What are you thinking?

CO Capt. Rome says:
CIV: It phased out of our universe somewhere close to here didn't it ?

CO Capt. Rome says:
CIV: And we still have no idea how the Vidiians managed to travel here from the Delta Quadrant.

OPS Lt. Zen says:
CIV: Aye.. just so slightly and it seems to be where that medical device is.

CMO Cmdr. Bauer says:
ALL: Hey, you know what this thing does?  Or at least what it says here, it does?  ::Reading, a bit::  It can manufacture blood from a small sample, any species, any blood type, red green or blue, iron based, copper based, zinc based, platelets, plasma and clotting agent included.  That's pretty cool.  Can I keep it?

XO Lt.Cmdr Ro`kar says:
CMO: That is amazing! ::eyes brighten:: Can we replicate the technology?

CIV Capt. Wuer says:
CO: The defiant did go missing in Tholian space, what happened to it has been sepculated many times

FCO Ens. Uax says:
CMO: Now that definately would be helpful, but playing the devils advocate, can you tell what it does to harm people. 

CIV Capt. Wuer says:
OPS: Where is the medical device?

CMO Cmdr. Bauer says:
XO: Yeah, I guess so, we got the schematics and blueprints, I wonder if they was being truthful saying this was a one of a kind?

CMO Cmdr. Bauer says:
FCO: I don't see where it does harm.  It's a healing tool.

CO Capt. Rome says:
CIV: From the reports, it seemed to disappear. Phase out of existance.

ACTION: The Vidiian ship phases slightly again, as does the medical device. The CMO touching it feels very dizzy, disoriented and passes out.

CO Capt. Rome says:
CIV: Is that happening to us?

XO Lt.Cmdr Ro`kar says:
CMO: Bauer!! ::runs to his side, trying to find his medical tricorder::

CMO Cmdr. Bauer says:
::Faints away, in his seat::

CIV Capt. Wuer says:
CO: The medical device appears to be phasing......

XO Lt.Cmdr Ro`kar says:
::finds the tricorder and starts to scan the CMO::

CMO Cmdr. Bauer says:
::Starts to regain consciousness:: Self: Hey, what.... ::Puts the device off his lap, and on the floor:: ALL: Hey, why did it do that?

CO Capt. Rome says:
CIV: Get a lock on it, lock it in a level 4 forcefield.

XO Lt.Cmdr Ro`kar says:
CMO: Sit still, I am trying to figure out what happened

CMO Cmdr. Bauer says:
::Backs away from it:: CO: Are those shiftless scumbags trying to take it back now?

CIV Capt. Wuer says:
::moves over to a free console and accessess transporter systems:: CO: Attemting to lock on to it

CO Capt. Rome says:
CMO: I think it runs deeper than that......are you unhurt, doctor?

XO Lt.Cmdr Ro`kar says:
CO: Seems like he is fine, relatively speaking ::closes the tricorder and hands it back to the CMO::

CMO Cmdr. Bauer says:
CO/XO: I'm okay, I just got real dizzy and all the blood rushed out of my brain.  I just want to know why that happened.

CIV Capt. Wuer says:
::tries to lock onto the in-phase portion of the device::

ACTION: Everything phases back into place and the Klingons cloak.

FCO Ens. Uax says:
:: looks up at the view screen :: All: I think we may have a problem..

XO Lt.Cmdr Ro`kar says:
All: What is going on here? ::looks at the viewscreen::

CO Capt. Rome says:
FCO: Say 'I told you so' and I will throw you into the nearest airlock.

CMO Cmdr. Bauer says:
::Takes the information packs that came with the medical device, finds another seat far away from device and out of the way, to continue researching our auction win::

CIV Capt. Wuer says:
::sets the device to transport into a level-4 forcefield in the main science lab:: CO: Energising

FCO Ens. Uax says:
:: Looks to the CO :: CO: Then I wont' say it but you know its true. 

XO Lt.Cmdr Ro`kar says:
::lowers himself into the XO seat and watches the proceedings, trying to figure out what is going on::

CO Capt. Rome says:
::pats Stephanie on the shoulder::

CIV Capt. Wuer says:
::watches the device beging to transport:: CO: If you don't mind I like to head down to the lab to study this thing

CMO Cmdr. Bauer says:
CIV: Not without me, you don't ::Smiles::

CO Capt. Rome says:
CIV: All right, but keep an open link. I need to know what is going on with my ship.....and everyone's ships...ses..
