Last time on the Scimitar...

Excellent job assisting those alien lifeforms and sending across that previously unknown star chart. We have received word of pirate activity in a sector of space close to DS9 and, since your ship is the nearest available vessel, we would like you to investigate. Please report to my colleague, Vice Admiral Chandra..."

<<<<<<<<<<Begin Mission – Pinnacle - Part 1>>>>>>>>>>

XO Lt.Cmdr. Ro’kar says:
:: on the station, walking to the Admiral's office and looking for the CO::

CSO Lt. Powers says:
::On the bridge, running diagnostics on the Science department's systems::

CO Capt. Rome says:
::sits in the waiting area outside the Admiral's office::

XO Lt.Cmdr. Ro’kar says:
::rounds the corner:: CO: Good morning, Captain

CO Capt. Rome says:
::Stands up:: XO: Commander, thanks for joining me.

XO Lt.Cmdr. Ro’kar says:
CO: I would say it is a pleasure but... ::straightens his uniform:: It often is not a pleasure to be in these briefings

CO Capt. Rome says:
XO: It is a pleasure to spend time with your Commanding Officer, is it not? ::said jokingly as they move towards the receptionist::

CO Capt. Rome says:
::taps his badge::

Receptionist says:
CO/XO: Sirs, the Admiral is expecting you. Please go right in.

CO Capt. Rome says:
*FCO*: Ensign, please prepare the Scimitar for departure.

XO Lt.Cmdr. Ro’kar says:
::smiles to humour the CO and follows him in::

FCO Ens. Uax says:
*CO* Understood. prepping started..

CO Capt. Rome says:
*CSO*: Lieutenant Powers, please report to the Bridge and prepare your department. We will leave shortly.

FCO Ens. Uax says:
:: goes about getting the ship ready for departure making sure all the final things are on board :: 

CO Capt. Rome says:
::puts his badge on vibrate and walks in::

CSO Lt. Powers says:
*CO*: Aye sir.

CO Capt. Rome says:
::salutes the Vice-Admiral::

XO Lt.Cmdr. Ro’kar says:
::enters with the CO and comes to attention next to him smartly::

VAdm. Chandra says:
::coffee in his hand, he gestures to them both to sit down::

XO Lt.Cmdr. Ro’kar says:
::sits down smartly, his back bolt upright::

CO Capt. Rome says:
::walks over to the desk and sits down in the comfortable chair opposite the VAdm:: Chandra: Admiral, reporting as ordered.

CSO Lt. Powers says:
::makes sure that all sections of his department have reported that their ready for departure::

VAdm. Chandra says:
CO/XO: Can I get you two a drink?

CO Capt. Rome says:
::puts his hand up:: Vadm: None for me thank you, just had breakfast with the station commander.

XO Lt.Cmdr. Ro’kar says:
VAdm: Coffee, please Admiral. No sugar and milk

VAdm. Chandra says:
CO: You didn't try his eggs did you? ::pours a fresh cup of coffee and hands it to the XO:: XO: None of that replicated rubbish.

CSO Lt. Powers says:
FCO: Do you think the CO would notice if we borrowed the ship for a quick trip to Risa?

XO Lt.Cmdr. Ro’kar says:
::smiles at the sight of proper coffee:: CO: Thank you, sir.

CO Capt. Rome says:
::looks grim:: VAdm: Unfortunately, but I think my doctor has the cure if needed. ::smiles::

FCO Ens. Uax says:
CSO: I'm pretty sure he would and I wouldn't wanna be on the ship when we got back. How's your department. All others are reporting in ready.

VAdm. Chandra says:
CO/XO: Gentlemen, let's cut to the chase. ::sips his coffee:: What do you know of Thalev Idrani?

CSO Lt. Powers says:
FCO: My department reports that they're ready. We could always leave him a shuttle.

XO Lt.Cmdr. Ro’kar says:
::expression changes to surprise as he glances at the CO through the corner of his eye::

ACTION: The turbolift doors open on the bridge for twenty children and a teacher to enter.

CO Capt. Rome says:
::sits up straighter:: VAdm: Commander Idrani, former XO of the Scimitar. We served together for a few years.....a very...competent officer.

Teacher says:
CSO: We know you're preparing to leave! I just wanted to finish the school trip here. The kids have been talking about it for ages.

FCO Ens. Uax says:
CSO: Lets' not and say we did.. okay. 

XO Lt.Cmdr. Ro’kar says:
VAdm: My exposure to the Commander was minimal - as I was being transferred to the Scimitar, he was being transferred to my former ship, the Tal-war

VAdm. Chandra says:
CO: Competent...well... no need to hold back.

FCO Ens. Uax says:
*CO* Sorry for the interruption. All departments ready for immediate departure

CSO Lt. Powers says:
Teacher: You've seen the bridge now so I suggest you get back to the station... unless you all want to take part in a long and dangerous mission which many of you may never return from.

CO Capt. Rome says:
::taps his badge:: *FCO*: Thank you Ensign, please keep her ready. Rome out.

CSO Lt. Powers says:
FCO: You're no fun. I could always order you to do it.

CO Capt. Rome says:
VAdm: Well, we never really got along...but he was a very competent and a good officer. Though a bit short sighted at times.

CO Capt. Rome says:
VAdm: Not one to take chances.

Teacher says:
CSO: Now now! No need to frighten the children!

FCO Ens. Uax says:
CSO: Yes you could, but then I would in turn rat you out.. how’s that sound.. 

Teacher says:
Aloud: Jeffrey! Get off the Tactical console this instant!

VAdm. Chandra says:
CO/XO: Well it looks as if that has changed and he's taken some chances. He's missing.

CO Capt. Rome says:
::straightens his uniform jacket:: VAdm: Where? How?

CSO Lt. Powers says:
Teacher: Oh but there is. I've seen many strange and dangerous things during my time in Starfleet that could snatch away the children’s lives in an instant. Terrible space diseases which rot you from the inside and bloodthirsty pirates who sell children into slavery.

XO Lt.Cmdr. Ro’kar says:
::almost chokes on his coffee::

CSO Lt. Powers says:
Jeffrey: Step away from that this instant or I'll have you locked in the brig.

CO Capt. Rome says:
VAdm: Let me take the Scimitar to take a look, I owe him that. He also found me one time

CSO Lt. Powers says:
FCO: I order you to lighten up, Ens.

FCO Ens. Uax says:
:: Smiles back at the CSO and goes about her business :: 

Teacher says:
CSO: Don't make me come over there! I've dealt with unruly lads all my life and you're no different.

VAdm. Chandra says:
CO/XO: I have been talking with Admiral Shinra. She has passed on information that disturbs me. You aren't just to find Idrani. ::pauses:: You're to apprehend him.

CO Capt. Rome says:
::leans forward:: VAdm: Admiral, what is going on here?

XO Lt.Cmdr. Ro’kar says:
::narrows eyes:: VAdm: From what I know of the Commander, he is not the type that breaks Starfleet law

CO Capt. Rome says:
VAdm: Idrani is no saint, but he's not stupid either.

VAdm. Chandra says:
::sits with one butt cheek on the desk and puts his coffee down::CO/XO: Well just between us, Admiral Shinra seems extra concerned about this than I've seen her in the past. That said, orders are orders.

CSO Lt. Powers says:
Teacher: Except that I have these pips on my uniform and while you are on my bridge you are subject to my orders. Why don't you take the children back to the station before I have security escort you there. The bridge is no place for a school trip.

CO Capt. Rome says:
VAdm: I need to know the charges brought against him

VAdm. Chandra says:
CO/XO: Theft of Starfleet property, treason, among other minor charges. Subject, of course, to a court hearing.

Teacher says:
::snarls at the CSO:: Kids: Okay kids let's go!

CO Capt. Rome says:
::leans back, taking all of this in:: VAdm: I need copies of all of these transcripts and access to his file. There might be something to help me find him.

ACTION: Seven of the kids are trying to sit on the COs chair at once.

VAdm. Chandra says:
CO/XO: He was last detected near Andor. In some trade vessel he managed to acquire.

XO Lt.Cmdr. Ro’kar says:
VAdm: Treason is a serious crime

VAdm. Chandra says:
::nods to the XO gravely::

CO Capt. Rome says:
Vadm: All right, I will take the Scimitar there...but I need the complete transcripts. What did he steal, what did he do to commit treason ? Can you have this information sent to me ?

CSO Lt. Powers says:
Aloud: If those children want to sit in the chair they're going to have to fight to the death. The one left standing will be granted 30 seconds of sitting time in the chair.

CO Capt. Rome says:
VAdm: I will depart at once and find him, I promise. But I need ALL the information.

ACTION: The COs chair collapses under the weight and the kids fall into a pile as blackcurrant drinks splatter everywhere on the carpet and the FCOs uniform.

VAdm. Chandra says:
CO: No worries, Captain. ::hands over a padd:: This has everything you need to know.

CO Capt. Rome says:
Vadm: Thank you Admiral. I will find him.

FCO Ens. Uax says:
:: jumps back out of her chair :: shakes her head :: 

Teacher says:
Kids: Behave! In the turbolift! NOW!

CO Capt. Rome says:
VAdm: What about my standing orders to investigate signs of piracy in the sectors surrounding DS9 ?

CSO Lt. Powers says:
Teacher: I suggest you get out of here before the CO comes back.

FCO Ens. Uax says:
CSO: Lt can you maybe acquire a new chair stat before the captain gets back here. I'm going to quickly go change uniforms. 

VAdm. Chandra says:
CO: Consider them rescinded. Admiral Shinra deems this far too important to delay.

XO Lt.Cmdr. Ro’kar says:
::finishes his coffee, his expression grave::

Teacher says:
::with kids in the lift and the doors closing:: CSO: Why? You're the one who was supposed to keep everything in order. ::grins and leaves::

CO Capt. Rome says:
::stands up:: VAdm: Understood, Admiral.

FCO Ens. Uax says:
CSO: Remind me to mention that little comment to the captain when he gets back. Now let’s say we clean this place up before the CO and XO get back.

CO Capt. Rome says:
VAdm: Anything else I need to know?

CSO Lt. Powers says:
FCO: I've just remembered that I'm needed in astrometrics...

FCO Ens. Uax says:
CSO: I think astrometrics can wait a few minutes while you help me with this little MESS 

VAdm. Chandra says:
CO: Not right now, but we'll be in touch. CO/XO: Good luck. I know it isn’t a great idea tracking down a fellow officer.

CO Capt. Rome says:
VAdm: Rather me than someone who hasn't served with him

XO Lt.Cmdr. Ro’kar says:
::stands up and nods, his mind deep in thought:: Self: This is unlike Thalev, the man I met was ordered, controlled and played by the book

CSO Lt. Powers says:
FCO: Fine, you mop up the floor and I'll supervise.

CO Capt. Rome says:
::salutes::

FCO Ens. Uax says:
CSO: I think NOT! :: pushes the CSO a Broom and a Mop :: You help! 

VAdm. Chandra says:
::returns the salute::

CO Capt. Rome says:
::hands the PADD to Ren and walks out the door:: FCO: We need to depart immediately.

XO Lt.Cmdr. Ro’kar says:
::stiffens to attention, nods to the Admiral and leaves with the CO: CO: Aye aye captain

CO Capt. Rome says:
*FCO*: Rome to Ensign Uax, please bring all systems online. Chart a course for Andor.

XO Lt.Cmdr. Ro’kar says:
::starts reading through the PADD as they walk::

CSO Lt. Powers says:
FCO: Watch and learn...  *Engineering*: This is the bridge. I need an emergency engineering team up here right away. *Sickbay*: This is the bridge. We have a possible biological spill up here and need a cleanup team and samples taken immediately.

FCO Ens. Uax says:
*CO* :: blinks:: Andor.. Yes Sir.. 

CO Capt. Rome says:
XO: I want you to get me all the information on the USS Tal-War, Idrani's last assignment and activities and his personnel file. Get me access to his logs, dating back a month.

FCO Ens. Uax says:
CSO: Cheeky little brat.. You heard the captain. Let’s get things ready to go here. 

CO Capt. Rome says:
Self: Blast it, Thalev.

XO Lt.Cmdr. Ro’kar says:
CO: Sir. ::nods, not looking up from his reviewing of the data::

CSO Lt. Powers says:
FCO: That's cheeky little brat sir. ::returns to his station and starts bringing up scientific data on Andor::

FCO Ens. Uax says:
:: Notifies all departments of immediate departure status and brings the ship to standby :: 

XO Lt.Cmdr. Ro’kar says:
CO: Might be quicker to beam over, sir, instead of walk all the way to the docking ring

CO Capt. Rome says:
XO: I like the exercise, commander.

CSO Lt. Powers says:
::sees the medical team arrive and points to the purple stains::

CO Capt. Rome says:
::walks up the stairs from the promenade::

CO Capt. Rome says:
XO: You spend a lot of time with Thalev, Commander ?

FCO Ens. Uax says:
*CO* the ship is ready for departure when you get back here.. 

CO Capt. Rome says:
*FCO*: Thank you Ensign.

CSO Lt. Powers says:
::sees the engineering team enter and points to the chair:: Engineers: I think you know the consequences for all of us if that isn't fixed by the time the CO gets back.

XO Lt.Cmdr. Ro’kar says:
CO: If you wish, sir ::regrets doing the circuit training the day before:: Not really, sir, chatted to him briefly about the Scimitar when I saw him in the court room

CO Capt. Rome says:
XO: Annoying little bugger, a know it all, self centred, bragger.

ACTION: The CO falls over.

XO Lt.Cmdr. Ro’kar says:
::halts in surprise:: CO: Captain? Are you OK? ::offers his hand::

CSO Lt. Powers says:
::considers erecting a force field to stop the CO getting to the bridge::

XO Lt.Cmdr. Ro’kar says:
CO: That floor is deceptively flat and unobstructed

CO Capt. Rome says:
::takes his hand and stands up:: XO: Wasn't looking where I was going. ::smiles::

CO Capt. Rome says:
::arrives at the airlock::

CO Capt. Rome says:
XO: Commander..

CSO Lt. Powers says:
FCO: You know that this is all your fault don't you? If you'd been nicer to the teacher this wouldn't have happened.

XO Lt.Cmdr. Ro’kar says:
CO: Yes, Captain? ::looks at him quizzically::

CO Capt. Rome says:
XO: I'm not good with ceremony, and I hate fuss.

FCO Ens. Uax says:
CSO: Putting it all on me are you.... I think NOT mister!

CO Capt. Rome says:
XO: So....here it is. You've been a great first officer. I like your input and assistance. Please keep it up. ::hands him a small leather box::

CO Capt. Rome says:
::pats him on the shoulder:: XO: Congratulations Commander Ro'kar.

CSO Lt. Powers says:
::watches as the medical team carefully leaves with a sample of the juice after having cleaned up the spill::

XO Lt.Cmdr. Ro’kar says:
::looks at the box, then at him, then back at the box:: CO: Captain? I...

CO Capt. Rome says:
XO: Just open it and get it over with. I really need to get back to work.

CO Capt. Rome says:
::looks uncomfortable::

XO Lt.Cmdr. Ro’kar says:
CO: Aye, Captain... ::opens it and takes out the pip, muttering:: I am now the same rank as my brother... ::removes the black one::

CO Capt. Rome says:
XO: Well...good on you both. ::smiles and steps through the airlock::

CO Capt. Rome says:
Deck officer: Make sure everyone is onboard, then close her up.

XO Lt.Cmdr. Ro’kar says:
::follows him, his expression changing between joy and concern rapidly::

CO Capt. Rome says:
::steps into the Turbolift:: XO: Now I still need those documents I asked you for, you can celebrate later.

CO Capt. Rome says:
TL: Bridge.

XO Lt.Cmdr. Ro’kar says:
CO: Of course, sir. ::starts writing a list of what to retrieve:: Do you want me to get your yeoman to para-phrase it for you?

CO Capt. Rome says:
::looks at him annoyingly:: XO: I am literate, Commander Ro'kar.

XO Lt.Cmdr. Ro’kar says:
::smiles:: CO: But you are a Commanding Officer, sir, you do need time to sleep

CO Capt. Rome says:
::smiles:: XO: Just get me the whole thing, I'll sort through it. I know the man too well already...we shared a mind. ::shudders as he steps onto the Bridge, knocking shoulders with Engineer Charlston::

CSO Lt. Powers says:
CO: Ens. Uax sat in your chair.

XO Lt.Cmdr. Ro’kar says:
::removes the note saying 'Get yeoman to highlight the important bits', glancing up and smiling slightly and nodding::

CO Capt. Rome says:
::looks at the team of Engineers moving into the Turbolift looking sheepish::
