CO Capt Rome:
::watches emergency lighting come back online:: All: Report!
 
FCO Ens Sumner:
CO: Engines offline.
 
XO Cmdr Idrani:
::with his phaser raised pointing at Kanga:: Kanga: Lights or no lights, you'd better talk.
 
CTO Raash:
::at Tactical, trying to check everything::
 
CO Capt Rome:
FCO: How's our orbit? ::walks over to check with her::
 
CMO Dr Jeq:
CO: What a mess.
 
CO Capt Rome:
CMO: Thank's for that, doctor obvious. ::smiles her way:: We've had worse.
 
CMO Dr Jeq:
::sitting in her designated chair (that she's hijacked from CNS)::
 
CMO Dr Jeq:
CO: I'm just saying. This is YOUR ship after all...
 
CO Capt Rome:
::smiles her way:: CMO: Life support ?
 
CMO Dr Jeq:
CO: We're still breathing right?
 
CO Capt Rome:
CTO: Do we have eyes out there, Lieutenant?
 
CO Capt Rome:
CMO: For now.
 
CMO Dr Jeq:
CO: Well, that's enough, isn't it?
 
XO Cmdr Idrani:
Kanga: I swear, you'd better talk or I'll stun you and tie you up so you can't escape. Forcefield or not, you are not going anywhere.
 
CO Capt Rome:
CMO: You know, sometimes I could just smack you.
 
CMO Dr Jeq:
CO: Don't get so jumpy.
 
CTO Raash:
CO: Working on it, Captain. ::pulls the panel off of the tactical console and sets about to get scanners some power::
 
CMO Dr Jeq:
CO: You wouldn't hit an old woman!
 
CO Capt Rome:
::laughs::
 
FCO Ens Sumner:
CO: We should be fine for now, Captain.
 
CTO Raash:
CMO: Do not worry, Doctor. If he tries anything, I do have the authority to put him in the brig for assault. ::grins just before he head disappears beneath the console::
 
CO Capt Rome:
FCO: Good job, Ensign. Work with Engineering, I want to know what happened and I want it fixed.
 
CO Capt Rome:
Self: And here I thought respect came with the job...::shakes his head::
 
CTO Raash:
::switches connections to get scanners operational::
 
CO Capt Rome:
CMO: Any ideas?
 
CTO Raash:
::stands up and checks the screen:: CO: Sir, I have scanners online, checking now.
 
CO Capt Rome:
::claps once:: CTO: Now we're talking.
 
CMO Dr Jeq:
CO: Sorry, all out.
 
CO Capt Rome:
::looks over at Jeq:: CMO: Jeq, you alright?
 
CMO Dr Jeq:
CO: What's that fool Idrani doing with that Kanga person?
 
CMO Dr Jeq:
CO: And yes, I'm fine. You're not though. Your ship almost got stolen.
 
CO Capt Rome:
CMO: Trying to get information from him, we need to find out if we're being attacked.
 
FCO Ens Sumner:
::motions for her replacement to take the helm, just in case, and makes for the turbolift:: TL: Engineering.
 
CO Capt Rome:
CMO: Are you going to keep reminding me, or do you wanna take that console on your arm and try to help with restoring main systems?
 
CMO Dr Jeq:
::sighs:: CO: Oh, fine. You seem to have missed your morning coffee and are taking it out on me.
 
XO Cmdr Idrani:
Kanga: Silent type, are we?
 
CTO Raash:
CO: Captain, I'm not seeing anything out there at the moment.
 
CO Capt Rome:
::tries activating the comm::
 
CO Capt Rome:
CTO: Good, try and get shields and weapons back online.
 
CO Capt Rome:
::just smiles at Jeq:: CMO: It's been a tough day.
 
CO Capt Rome:
*XO*: Rome to Idrani, do you read me?
 
CMO Dr Jeq:
CO: Clearly.
 
XO Cmdr Idrani:
*CO*: So far everything is okay down here. Kanga has gone quiet, though. Don't think we'll get anywhere with him. I need power for his cell, though.
 
FCO Ens Sumner:
::makes her way to Engineering and works with the crews to get the warp core back online::
 
CO Capt Rome:
::looks over at Jeq:: CMO: See if you can reroute some emergency power for the forcefields in the Brig.
 
CTO Raash:
CO: Captain, permission to leave the bridge?
 
Kanga:
XO: Please stun me and put me away, I will tell you nothing. I do not wish to die.
 
CO Capt Rome:
*XO*: Has he said anything about what happened to our systems, we're still trying to find the cause of the power outage.
 
CMO Dr Jeq:
CO: Ok.
 
CO Capt Rome:
::looks over at Raash:: CTO: Why?
 
CMO Dr Jeq:
CO: Tell Idrani that if he doesn't have the stomach for torture, I do.
 
XO Cmdr Idrani:
*CO*: Nothing - he's not talking at all.
 
CO Capt Rome:
CMO: I know, I've had your cooking.

Action: Ships thrusters come online.

CO Capt Rome:
::lurches in his seat::
 
CO Capt Rome:
Conn: What was that?
 
CTO Raash:
CO: To make certain the ship is secured. With power at a minimum, my teams need to use hand scanners to check for anything that might have been beamed aboard while power was down.
 
CMO Dr Jeq:
CO: Thrusters are back.
 
CO Capt Rome:
*XO*: Persuade him!
 
XO Cmdr Idrani:
*CO*: What do you want me to do? Offer a cookie?
 
CMO Dr Jeq:
*XO*: Break his fingers!!
 
CMO Dr Jeq:
::gets up and walks to the Conn and looks over the Ensign's shoulder::
 
CO Capt Rome:
Conn: Do we have engine power again ?
 
XO Cmdr Idrani:
*CMO*: And who's going to fix them? You? Ha!
 
CTO Raash:
::braces herself and motions to TO_Tesla to do the same::
 
CMO Dr Jeq:
*XO*: No. You leave them broken.
 
CO Capt Rome:
CTO: I'm afraid you're needed here, Lieutenant.
 
XO Cmdr Idrani:
Kanga: You start talking and I'll try and make sure you stay safe.

Action: Ships thrusters activate and the ship starts to leave orbit slowly
 
<AFCO_ Vasquez> CO: Uh, just thrusters, Captain... sir... ::is a little uncomfortable with people so close::
 
CMO Dr Jeq:
CO: Oh, that nitwit can't do anything right. I'm going down there to get that info out of him. I was deterred in a Cardassian prison world once upon a time. Not something you forget easily.
 
Kanga:
XO: Nobody can protect me.
 
CTO Raash:
TO: Go get the teams focused and scanning. If something blows up and it isn't found in time, ::looks at the CO then back to the TO:: You won't be to blame.
 
CO Capt Rome:
CMO: Hey, you respect the rules of treatment of prisoners, you hear me?
 
CMO Dr Jeq:
::stalks off to the turbo lift, ignoring the CO::
 
<TO_Tesla> CTO: Uh, yes Sir. ::glances to the Captain then quickly leaves the bridge::
 
CO Capt Rome:
CTO: I'll ignore that comment for now, Lieutenant. We have other things to worry about. So do you.
 
CMO Dr Jeq:
::arrives in the Brig:: XO: Idrani! I've come to do your job properly.
 
CO Capt Rome:
::holds his armrests as the ship jumps out of orbit with thrusters::
 
XO Cmdr Idrani:
CMO: Get out.
 
CO Capt Rome:
aFCO: Why the rough ride, ensign ?
 
CTO Raash:
CO: There is nothing to ignore, Captain. It simply isn't the fault of an Ensign if he can't do something as well as his chief could. If something goes wrong, it will land on my shoulders, not his.
 
CMO Dr Jeq:
XO: No. You need me. ::takes a phaser rifle from the armory cabinet and rounds on Kanga::
 
XO Cmdr Idrani:
Kanga: I'm the only thing between you and my crazy medical officer who has a penchant for breaking fingers. START TALKING.
 
XO Cmdr Idrani:
CMO: Get out. That's an order.
 
<AFCO_Vasquez>::presses in vain at the console:: CO: Uh, I don't have thruster control, sir; they're just firing by themselves.
 
CMO Dr Jeq:
XO: Captain sent me. Sorry.
 
Kanga:
XO: I am gonna die anyway.
 
CMO Dr Jeq:
XO: I'll stand here menacingly.
 
XO Cmdr Idrani:
::looks with daggers for eyes at Jeq:: CMO: You damn need to learn some respect for your superior officers.
 
CMO Dr Jeq:
Kanga: You'll die a lot slower if you don't start talking.
 
CO Capt Rome:
::stands up:: aFCO: Excuse me?
 
Kanga:
CMO: You are a starfleet officer. I doubt you will do anything to harm me
 
CMO Dr Jeq:
XO: I don't care if you hate me, Idrani. I'm going to get this info out of him.
 
CO Capt Rome:
::walks over to the conn and starts excamining it:: CTO: Raash, could Kanga have done something to our computers?
 
XO Cmdr Idrani:
CMO: Dammit Jeq, this has nothing to do with personal feelings. I am your commanding officer. I won't tell you again. Get out.

<AFCO_Vasquez>::almost seems to flinch:: CO: I don't have control of the ship, sir.

CTO Raash:
CO: That's what I wanted to go find out, Sir. We don't know what he did or didn't do before he was caught.
 
CMO Dr Jeq:
Kanga: Listen. I've lived 5 past lives. 3 of which were pretty nasty. I'm pretty nasty. Start talking or I'll show you what they did to me on Cardassia 6.
 
CO Capt Rome:
::receives a tricorder from a passing crewman and starts scanning the console::
 
CMO Dr Jeq:
XO: Ask him again.
 
CO Capt Rome:
::crouches down:: CTO: I'm reading something here.

Action: Thrusters shut off main power is restored in engineering and the impulse engines engage.

XO Cmdr Idrani:
::looks again at the Doctor:: CMO: You are well out of line. I'll be filing a formal report. ::turns to Kanga:: Kanga: Okay, talk.
 
CTO Raash:
::moves to the CO's side:: CO: What is it?
 
CO Capt Rome:
::shows her the readings:: CTO: Not sure, it's very faint. A signal of some sorts.
 
CO Capt Rome:
aFCO: Try and shut the conn down.
 
CO Capt Rome:
::taps his badge:: *FCO*: Rome to Sumner, what have you got ?
 
CTO Raash:
CO: I'll see if I can track it. ::relieved the relief Operations officer and works to get the console working::
 
<AFCO_Vasquez> ::taps pointlessly at the console:: CO: I have no control whatsoever, sir.
 
Kanga:
XO: All I know is I was approached by a man. He said he had a job for me. My talents were needed and that I had no choice but to accept.
 
CO Capt Rome:
::sends the readings to her console:: CTO: Do it.
 
XO Cmdr Idrani:
Kanga: What kind of man? What talents do you have? How did you get on board? What is happening now?
 
CTO Raash:
::accesses the console and works to bypass the Flight console in order to take control of the helm::
 
CTO Raash:
CO: Once I bypass the controls, I can track from the bypass point to the control panel on the console. It will make the tracking go faster.
 
CO Capt Rome:
*FCO*: Ensign Sumner, is there any way to cut main power from down there? ::is reminded of his attempt at a manual shut down::
 
CTO Raash:
CO: If the bypass doesn't work, we'll know it's deeper than that.
 
CMO Dr Jeq:
Kanga: Describe this man.
 
CO Capt Rome:
CTO: Continue.
 
Kanga:
XO: I dont know who he was. He handed me a bag. It had a Uniform and a Combadge and a PADD with my orders. He said it would get me anywhere I wanted on the ship.
 
CO Capt Rome:
::takes his seat::
 
FCO Ens Sumner:
*CO*: Best we can tell, Captain, is we're being controlled from an external source. Until we identify it and neutralize it, we have no control at all.
 
XO Cmdr Idrani:
::nods at the CMO, then back to Kanga:: Kanga; You heard the Doctor. Describe him.
 
CO Capt Rome:
*FCO*: Can we cut off the injectors to the fusion engines?
 
CTO Raash:
CO: Captain, the bypass didn't work. Whatever is causing helm to fail is deep.
 
CO Capt Rome:
::takes a deep breath:: CTO: See if you can send a mayday.
 
Kanga:
XO: He was tall very tall. looked human to me but that just didnt seem right to me.
 
CMO Dr Jeq:
Kanga: How did he talk? Like a Vulcan? Romulan? What was he wearing?
 
CTO Raash:
CO: Trying, Sir.
 
CTO Raash:
::tries to access the comm::
 
Kanga:
CMO: He was wearing simple robes
 
CO Capt Rome:
::feels the urge to rush down to Main Engineering, like when he was younger::
 
XO Cmdr Idrani:
::takes the transponder of Kanga and shoots it::
 
CMO Dr Jeq:
Kanga: Of course he was.
 
CMO Dr Jeq:
Kanga: Tall, robed and a terrorist. How did he find you?
 
XO Cmdr Idrani:
Kanga: That doesn't anser the question. What species was he?
 
Kanga:
XO: I told you he appeared human but I am not sure
 
FCO Ens Sumner:
*CO*: It's possible. We'll need to send someone in manually.
 
CTO Raash:
CO: Captain, I have internal comms only. I suggest we send someone to the shuttle bay. They can manually open the bay doors. A shuttle can send a mayday.
 
CO Capt Rome:
::feels a cold shiver down his back:: *FCO*: Do we have any volunteers? It's...it's very dangerous. ::remembers his own skin burning::
 
CO Capt Rome:
CTO: Do it.
 
CO Capt Rome:
CTO: And....tell them to prepare to fire on our engines on my mark..
 
CMO Dr Jeq:
Kanga: How did he find you? Who do you work for?

Action: Warp power comes online and the ship jumps to warp 5.

XO Cmdr Idrani:
CMO: Wait... Kanga: WHY did he choose you?
 
FCO Ens Sumner:
*CO*: I'll get it done, Captain. ::makes her way into the jeffries tubes, heading for the injectors::
 
Kanga:
XO: I was told my skills were needed.
 
XO Cmdr Idrani:
Kanga: You are infuriating. Answer the questions we ask. I said WHAT talents?
 
CO Capt Rome:
::is thrust back into his seat as warp comes online and the IDF takes a sec to compensate::
 
CMO Dr Jeq:
Kanga: Do you like your fingernails? Because I can get rid of them for you.
 
CO Capt Rome:
*FCO*: It's no use, we are at warp now.
 
*TO_Tesla*: Get a team to the shuttle bay. Open the doors manually and use a shuttle to send a mayday.
 
XO Cmdr Idrani:
::growls at the Doctor:: CMO: The questions are useful. The threats are not. :looks back at Kanga:: Kanga: Answer my damn question and do it now.
 
Kanga:
XO: I am a ship control specialist. I can make a ship completely controllable by remote.
 
XO Cmdr Idrani:
Kanga: I locked you out the system. How did you do it?
 
CO Capt Rome:
CTO: I hope you intend for them to wait until we drop out of warp.
 
<TO_Tesla> *CTO*: Aye Ma'am.
 
CTO Raash:
CO: I didn't order them to leave the ship, Captain. It is possible to open that door while at warp. The force field keeps them from being blown out into space.
 
Kanga:
XO: There is a device that was placed on your ship. It was planted somewhere near your computer core, which gave complete control of the ship to whoever has the controller once it was activated.
 
XO Cmdr Idrani:
*CO*: Idrani to Rome, there is a device near the computer core that is giving control of the ship to someone remotely.
 
XO Cmdr Idrani:
Kanga; How did you get it on board?
 
CO Capt Rome:
CTO: I am aware Lieutenant. Tell them to standby for when we drop out of warp. We might have to take our engines out.
 
CTO Raash:
::continues her tracking of the flight system finding the source of the signal::
 
XO Cmdr Idrani:
::gestures to Jeq to carry on asking questions as he speaks to the CO on the comm::
 
CO Capt Rome:
*XO*: I want to know where that device is.
 
Kanga:
XO: I didn’t, it was placed there by someone else with the instructions on how to hook it up.
 
CO Capt Rome:
CTO: Go, take a team of Tactical officers and Engineers and comb the computer core. I want that device taken offline.
 
CTO Raash:
CO: They will contact me before opening the doors.
 
Kanga:
XO: I dont know where it was placed. It has to be somewhere that ties into all the ships systems
 
XO Cmdr Idrani:
*CO*: All he knows is it is near the computer core - perhaps send some teams there to search?
 
CTO Raash:
CO: Aye, Sir. When the search comes to an end, I assume someone up here will contact me? My search should show exactly what we were looking for.
 
CO Capt Rome:
*XO*: Already on it Thalev, you think you can get him to help ?
 
XO Cmdr Idrani:
*CO*: Maybe. I'll work on it with Jeq.
 
CO Capt Rome:
CTO: I will take over from here and inform you, I have some experience with these things. ::smiles::
 
CO Capt Rome:
::walks over to the Operations console::
 
CTO Raash:
::stands up and heads to the turbolift::
 
Kanga:
XO: I didnt want to do it. They took my wife and son and told me I had no choice.
 
XO Cmdr Idrani:
Kanga: Maybe we can help you get them back - if you help us now.
 
Kanga:
XO: How? How can you help me. I don’t know where they took them.
 
CTO Raash:
::waits for the lift doors to close:: Self: Did I or did I not want to start scanning the ship 30 minutes ago? Would I or would I not have started my teams with the computer core and engineering? ::grumbles::
 
XO Cmdr Idrani:
Kanga: You have more chance of finding them with our help, right? So, what do you say? Last time I'm going to offer.
 
Kanga:
XO: You are looking for a device that operates in the terrahertz range. a frequency of 500.3. It does have a scrambler designed into it to make it hard to find.
