ACTD Nicke:
Star Trek: Apache Episode #4
Week # 21
Mission: "Crime and Punishment"

ACTD Nicke:
Admiral Poradin has ordered the Apache to return to Cyasta Core. The Apache is currently in orbit around Cyasta Core, with an Away Team on the surface, with the Admiral. His plans, for any future negotiations, have not been revealed, at this time. 

Ad

ACTD Nicke:
Admiral Poradin has been reported, as doing fine, after the loss of his family. Some concerns had been raised about this, but nothing has been found to support them, as of yet. Contact with the USS Hood and USS Intrepid have been lost. 

ACTD Nicke:
The USS An Lu-Shan has not been located, to our knowledge, and is still at large. A decision will be made soon on how Starfleet Comand will proceed in these matters.

OPS_Tekaro:
::sits at OPS, familiarizes himself with the keypad::

CSO_Storal:
CEO: Nothing new to report

CO_Tyler-Turnbull:
@XO: This seems to be getting more odd. ::whispers::

CNS_Naegle:
@::waits patiently::

OPS_Tekaro:
::sees a large red button on the console, tries to keep away from that::

CMO_Quest-Mac:
:: with the MO's help, flops the bodies onto the drawer beds ::

SEC_Abbott:
CEO: Everything is in order here, Sir.

Adm_Poradin:
@::moves over to the conference table with Buriday and nods to the captain and the others:: All: My apologies for keeping you waiting

XO_Valrek:
@CO: I'm not sure of the situation yet. Things seem to be too secretive

CO_Tyler-Turnbull:
@::nods to the Admiral::

MO_Powers:
CMO: What now?

CO_Tyler-Turnbull:
@XO: Agreed.

CNS_Naegle:
@::looks up as Admiral and Buriday return::

CEO_Toros:
CSO: Acknowledged.  Are the Hood or the Intrepid on any sensors? :: nods at Abbott ::

OPS_Tekaro:
::says hi to the replacement FCO and tries to learn more about OPS::

Adm_Poradin:
@CO: Captain ... Apache crew...

CEO_Toros:
OPS: Is there any word from the Away team? 

MO_Powers:
CMO: Do you need me any more?

OPS_Tekaro:
CEO: No sir. I am monitoring them.

CSO_Storal:
CEO: Negative sir

CMO_Quest-Mac:
:: looks curiously at Ens. Powers :: MO: I'll always need your help.. :: grins :: But ... for now ... no ... you are dismissed.

CEO_Toros:
CSO/OPS: Acknowledged.

CO_Tyler-Turnbull:
@::moves her attention fully to the Admiral:: 

Adm_Poradin:
@Captain: the people of Cyasta Core need our help

MO_Powers:
CMO: if you need me I’ll be in Lab 3   ::smiles::

XO_Valrek:
@::listens closely::

CNS_Naegle:
@::watches admiral as he speaks::

CMO_Quest-Mac:
:: nods :: MO: Ok ... And I'll be on the bridge...

CEO_Toros:
:: Shifts slightly and ponders their situation :: *CMO* Doctor Quest report to the bridge.

MO_Powers:
::leaves towards lab 3 ::

CMO_Quest-Mac:
*CEO*: I'm on my way!

CMO_Quest-Mac:
:: chuckles to herself ::

OPS_Tekaro:
::monitors life signs of away team, seem to be doing fine::

Adm_Poradin:
@Captain: I order you to assemble a team of your best people to help educate the people of Cyasta Core in defending themselves

CMO_Quest-Mac:
:: exits Sickbay and heads for the TL ::

MO_Powers:
CMO: If you’re needed on the bridge, I should stay here

CMO_Quest-Mac:
:: enters TL :: TL: Bridge.

CEO_Toros:
:: refers back to his PADD and restructures his report ::

CTO_Lu:
@::listens to the admiral, thinks his training Sims would help::

MO_Powers:
::sees Quest enter the TL so turns back to sickbay and his hypospray::

CMO_Quest-Mac:
:: CMO heads out of Sickbay without a word to the MO and shortly the TL door open and she walks onto the bridge ::

XO_Valrek:
@::looks over to the Captain::

CMO_Quest-Mac:
:: looks around :: CEO: Sir.  :: nods at his direction. ::

CO_Tyler-Turnbull:
@::listens intently:: Admiral: Sir, we will do what we can.

CSO_Storal:
::notices the CMO enter bridge::

CNS_Naegle:
@::thinks that's a bit sudden, but keeps quiet, and looks to the captain for her answer::

CEO_Toros:
:: nods to the CMO and motions for her to approach :: 

Adm_Poradin:
@Captain: I’m sure you will...

OPS_Tekaro:
::notices that the keys are blinking, doesn't have a clue what this means::

CMO_Quest-Mac:
:: glances over at the CSO :: CSO: greetings.

CMO_Quest-Mac:
:: walks over to the CEO ::

CSO_Storal:
CMO: Hello

CNS_Naegle:
@::glances at the captain, meaningfully::

Adm_Poradin:
@All: I will have Buriday assemble their leaders for you to teach....

CSO_Storal:
::Returns his attention back to sensors::

CO_Tyler-Turnbull:
@::thinks this is unusual... notices Janet, and nods::

SEC_Abbott:
::begins running check on systems and inventory of supplies::

CTO_Lu:
@::thinks to himself, would this violate the prime directive??::

CMO_Quest-Mac:
CEO: Sir, you wished to see me?  :: curious look ::

OPS_Tekaro:
::finds himself daydreaming about his protofield, snaps out of it::

CEO_Toros:
CMO: Have you continued in your efforts to separate the bio signatures on the sensor logs?

Adm_Poradin:
@Captain: They need your full assistance

XO_Valrek:
@::rests his arms on the table with his hands clasped together::

MO_Powers:
:: puts down hypospray after playing and decides to check the supplies then to go over the results from the autopsies::

CMO_Quest-Mac:
CEO: Yes ... :: sighs :: But all attempts failed.  There's just not sufficient data.

CTO_Lu:
@::looks around the room::

Adm_Poradin:
@::looks around the table::

CO_Tyler-Turnbull:
@::glances at Valrek, trying to gage his thoughts:: Admiral: Sir, we will offer all assistance allowed within the Prime Directive. 

CEO_Toros:
:: frowns and sighs as well :: CMO: Very well, How is sickbay?

CTO_Lu:
@::thinks he is on the same wavelength with the captain::

SEC_Abbott:
::goes through each security detail thoroughly::

Adm_Poradin:
@Captain: I am only interested in the future safety of the Cyastans.  Being so close to the Miradorn and being a largely pacifistic race, they are ripe for the slaughter!  I will not leave them to be slaughtered! You are only to 'educate’ them, Captain.

CNS_Naegle:
@::approves of the captain's answer::

CMO_Quest-Mac:
:: wonders why he wanted know :: CEO: Sickbay is fine.  Kind of slow these last few days.  :: laughs a little:: I guess people stopped pretending to be ill to get off work, once they found out about the murder victims.

OPS_Tekaro:
::monitors away team's adrenaline levels, to see if they're afraid::

MO_Powers:
::checks supplies and sees that all is fine::

CEO_Toros:
CMO: Hmm, Do you suggest that Apache personnel are vagrants? And Lazy?

SEC_Abbott:
::panel beeps at her signaling missing weapon supplies::

OPS_Tekaro:
::sees levels soar, knows that they're nervous::

CO_Tyler-Turnbull:
@Admiral: I understand that, and I do not wish to see the Cyastans come to any further harm from the Miradorn, either.  However, I believe there are too many unanswered questions that need to be answered before taking this step.

CMO_Quest-Mac:
:: blink twice, hard :: CEO: No sir!  I was merely implementing a joke ... apparently not a very successful one…

CEO_Toros:
:: smiles and chuckles :: CMO: At ease Lieutenant, I am being sarcastic.

CNS_Naegle:
@::Silently agrees with the Captain::

Adm_Poradin:
@::looking intently at the captain: CO: Such as?

CMO_Quest-Mac:
:: looks relieves and annoyed at the same time :: CEO: We got to work on our communication skill.. :: laughs :: we're not doing that very well.

MO_Powers:
::hopes somebody comes in ill::

Adm_Poradin:
@Captain: the only question here is, are you going to leave the Cyastans defenseless? Or not?

CEO_Toros:
:: stands and walks to the Flight Control station taking a report from the AFCO :: CMO: Understood, and acknowledged :: Smiles taking his seat again ::

SEC_Abbott:
CEO: Sir, I'm detecting missing weapon supplies.

CNS_Naegle:
@::waits for the captain's answer::

CEO_Toros:
:: turns around whipping the smile off of his face :: SEC: Come again ?

CSO_Storal:
::thinks Oh great::

MO_Powers:
::walks to his cubical and gets out some of his notes on the bodies::

CO_Tyler-Turnbull:
@Admiral: What could have provoked the actions of the Miradorn?  ::Meets the Admiral's gaze:: Sir, I believe that we should remain in system until answers can be found.  So, no sir, we will not be leaving them defenseless.

CMO_Quest-Mac:
:: raises her eyebrows at SEC's statement ::

OPS_Tekaro:
::monitors spatial conditions around the ship...they seem to be normal::

XO_Valrek:
@Adm: Admiral, with all due respect, the position that we are in is not that of instructors, but as advisors of peace. I am certain that another way would become evident in time.

SEC_Abbott:
CEO: Was I not loud enough, sir?  I am detecting missing weapons

CNS_Naegle:
@::breathes a silent sigh of relief::

Adm_Poradin:
@Captain: I have no intention of leaving until we find out what happened either... ::glares at her coldly::

CEO_Toros:
SEC: How is that possible? We were just restocked at the Starbase; I myself went over the reports.

Adm_Poradin:
@XO: Teaching them will keep the peace. If the Miradorn know they are not waiting here like lambs to be slaughtered, they may think Twice about attacking them ... don’t you agree?

SEC_Abbott:
CEO: I am uncertain ... but the crates numbered 12,13, 14 and 32 are missing.

CO_Tyler-Turnbull:
@::nods to Valrek, pleased with his response:: 

CNS_Naegle:
@ADM/CO/XO: Captain, Commander, if I may…

CEO_Toros:
:: walks over to the Tactical station that the SEC is at and sees for himself the facts :: SEC: Take a team down to double check, then report back.

CSO_Storal:
:: hears the crate numbers and remembers that those were the ones that the Admiral requested to be beamed down::

Adm_Poradin:
@::looks to the counselor::

XO_Valrek:
@Adm: I tend to disagree. The Miradorn are no more a threat than we let them be. By being here, we are a deterrent

OPS_Tekaro:
::is amused with the different tones of the keys when he presses them::

Adm_Poradin:
@XO: but we cannot stay forever can we?

CO_Tyler-Turnbull:
@CNS:  Yes, Counselor?

XO_Valrek:
@Adm: This will not last forever, Sir

CMO_Quest-Mac:
CEO: Um... sir?  I believe those crates are supposed to be missing...

CSO_Storal:
CEO: Sir, those were the crates that the Admiral requested be beamed down

Adm_Poradin:
@XO: Nothing lasts forever, Commander...

SEC_Abbott:
::nods to CEO:: CEO: Aye, sir.

CEO_Toros:
SEC: Belay that order… CMO/CSO: I see, I see.

CO_Tyler-Turnbull:
@Admiral:  Agreed, however, we can stay until peace is achieved.

XO_Valrek:
@Adm: Exactly my point

CEO_Toros:
CMO/CSO: Why would the Admiral want crates of weapons?

CSO_Storal:
CEO:I don’t know sir

CMO_Quest-Mac:
:: looks at CSO and back at CEO ::  CEO: I do not know.

SEC_Abbott:
::halts at the TL doors and turns around again::

CEO_Toros:
:: as the thought comes to him he goes to the Command chair and sits furious :: CMO/CSO: I believe I do.  OPS: Get me the captain.

OPS_Tekaro:
::overhears CEO, starts thinking that the Admiral's a traitor or something::

CSO_Storal:
CEO: Unless he was planning to outfit them with weapons

OPS_Tekaro:
CEO: Aye Sir.

ACTD Nicke: 
ACTION: Sensors pick up a ship emerging from the Class 2 Nebula into Cyastan space

CNS_Naegle:
@Adm: Sir, with all due respect, we need to be careful.  I don't think the captain wants to endanger her crew, but she wants to do what is right.

CEO_Toros:
CSO: My thoughts exactly.

CSO_Storal:
CEO: Sir there is a ship emerging from the nebula

MO_Powers:
*CMO*: Is everything ok up there ... nobody ill or injured?

CMO_Quest-Mac:
*MO*: No, ensign...

Adm_Poradin:
@Counselor: I agree ... and I thank you for you input.  Now captain ... please prepare your crew

OPS_Tekaro:
::opens Com link:: COM: CO: Sir, Mr. Toros requests your attention. ::nods at CEO::

CEO_Toros:
CSO: Identify.

CMO_Quest-Mac:
CEO/CSO: But why?

ACTD Nicke:
ACTION: The ship is clearly damaged…

CNS_Naegle:
@::stands down::

CO_Tyler-Turnbull:
@::nods:: Admiral: Sir?

CSO_Storal:
::Scans the ship:: CEO: Sir the ship is damaged

MO_Powers:
*CMO*: Good to hear it. ::a little disappointed::

ACTD Nicke:
ACTION: …its transponder is emitting the USS Hoods transponder frequency

SEC_Abbott:
::returns back to her station::

CEO_Toros:
:: nods :: CMO: I am not positive.

XO_Valrek:
@::waits for Captain to stand first::

CSO_Storal:
CEO: Sir it’s the emitting the Hoods transponder signal

Adm_Poradin:
@Captain: Mr. Buriday, and the leaders, will escort you to the training facility

CTO_Lu:
@::waits for a cue::

CO_Tyler-Turnbull:
@::hears the Com message, stands::

CEO_Toros:
SEC: Take us to yellow alert.

CSO_Storal:
::Continues to monitor the incoming ship::

CEO_Toros:
CSO: Acknowledged.

SEC_Abbott:
::punches up yellow alert:: CEO: Aye sir

OPS_Tekaro:
::through Com::  COM: CO: Captain: Acknowledge...

ACTD Nicke:
ACTION: …as the away team is led outside toward the outer buildings, they notice that some of the Cyastans have arms in their possession

CO_Tyler-Turnbull:
@Admiral: We will view the facilities...

CNS_Naegle:
@::stands and follows::

SEC_Abbott:
::klaxons flash amber::

Adm_Poradin:
@Captain: I believe you will find them most to your liking

CTO_Lu:
@::looks and notices the Cyastans holding phaser rifles::

CO_Tyler-Turnbull:
@COM: Apache: This is the Captain, what is this message?

CEO_Toros:
COM: Captain: Captain, We have a problem, is it all right to speak?

ACTD Nicke:
ACTION: …the ship moves in on the Apache

CSO_Storal:
CEO: Sir, the ship is coming closer

CEO_Toros:
CSO: Let's see it on screen. SEC: Shields.

SEC_Abbott:
::brings all weapon systems to standby::

XO_Valrek:
@::disapproves of the weapons in view......in the wrong hands::

SEC_Abbott:
::raises shields::

CEO_Toros:
:: nods back to OPS ::

CTO_Lu:
@::looks at the XO::

CSO_Storal:
::puts the ship on main screen

SEC_Abbott:
CEO: Shields up, sir.

CMO_Quest-Mac:
:: looks at the approaching ship on view screen ::

CO_Tyler-Turnbull:
@All: Excuse me, Commander … come with me.  ::steps to the side away from the others.  COM: Apache: What kind of problem Mr. Toros?

XO_Valrek:
@Adm: Sir, how did these people get federation weapons?

ACTD Nicke:
ACTION: …as the ship approaches they see it is not the USS Hood

XO_Valrek:
@::is pulled away by the CO::

CEO_Toros:
:: nods at Abbott :: COM: Captain: Two problems, sir.  What seems to be the USS Hood has emerged from the Class 2 Nebula we observed earlier, and … there seems to be missing weapons, that the Admiral Acquisitioned earlier.

CO_Tyler-Turnbull:
@Com: Apache:  Understood, Mr. Toros, continue your investigation, and monitor all transmissions from the Hood.  Keep us informed.

CSO_Storal:
CEO: SIR, ITS NOT THE HOOD!

CEO_Toros:
SEC: Red Alert.

SEC_Abbott:
::Amber changes to Red alert Klaxons:: ALL: Red Alert!

CEO_Toros:
CSO: Identify the ship.

MO_Powers:
::notices red alert and gets ready for casualties::

OPS_Tekaro:
::looks around at the blinking red lights and the blaring noise, thinks: I haven't seen this since my run-in with the warp core...::

OPS_Tekaro:
::shudders at the memories::

CMO_Quest-Mac:
:: exits bridge and heads for sickbay, to her post ::

CEO_Toros:
CMO: Captain: Captain, There is a correction, it is not, repeat not, the USS Hood.

CO_Tyler-Turnbull:
@XO:  It looks like we have the answer about those weapons.  

CEO_Toros:
FCO: Keep us out of their weapons range.

CSO_Storal:
CEO: Aye. ::tries to ID the ship:: CEO: Negative sir still not close enough

ACTD Nicke:
ACTION: The ship closes in on the Apache … its the An Lu-Shan … and it begins firing on the Apache

XO_Valrek:
@CO: …and that would be?

CO_Tyler-Turnbull:
@COM: Apache: Mr. Asadourian?  Repeat, that?

CEO_Toros:
SEC: Power weapons

SEC_Abbott:
::feels her adrenaline rush and is ready for action::

CSO_Storal:
CEO: SIR, ITS THE AN LU SHAN!

SEC_Abbott:
::powers weapons::

CEO_Toros:
SEC: Fire Phasers. COM: Captain: The An Lu Shan Sir,  We are under attack.

CMO_Quest-Mac:
:: rushes down the corridor, and looses her balance as the ship rocked from the firing ship ::

MO_Powers:
::feels hit and wonders what is going on::

ACTD Nicke:
ACTION: …the An Lu-Shan begins attacking the Apache

SEC_Abbott:
::fires full phasers on the An Lu Shan::

CO_Tyler-Turnbull:
@XO: We have weapons missing from the Apache … and … the Cyastans have Federation weapons.  An assumption perhaps...

SEC_Abbott:
CEO: Firing phasers

CEO_Toros:
OPS: Hail them.

CMO_Quest-Mac:
:: clutches onto the wall to steady herself and finally arrives at sickbay. ::

MO_Powers:
CMO: What's happening?

CEO_Toros:
SEC: Acknowledged.

ACTD Nicke:
ACTION: The An Lu-Shan moves on the Apache and fires phasers over her as it passes

XO_Valrek:
@CO: Yes, sir, and perhaps those with some from the An Lu Shan as well.

OPS_Tekaro:
::detects power signatures from An Lu Shan:: CEO : Sir I detect another full weapons spread in 3 seconds...

OPS_Tekaro:
::braces::

CO_Tyler-Turnbull:
@::stiffens at Toros' remark:: XO:  Why would the An Lu Shan attack?

CMO_Quest-Mac:
:: looses her balance, and with nothing to hold onto, falls to the floor ::

CMO_Quest-Mac:
MO: We're under attack by a ship...

CSO_Storal:
CEO: Sir, may I suggest targeting their weapons array

MO_Powers:
:: helps quest up::

SEC_Abbott:
::routes all available power to the shields::

CEO_Toros:
FCO: Evasive actions. SEC: Return fire, Photon torpedoes … two.

ACTDNicke:
ACTION: …the An Lu Shan continues firing on the Apache

XO_Valrek:
@CO: It abandoned the Adm, and maybe they are trying to prevent us from aiding him as well?

CEO_Toros:
CSO: Make it so.

CO_Tyler-Turnbull:
@XO: Perhaps.  

CSO_Storal:
SEC: Target their weapons array

ACTD Nicke:
ACTION: The Apache begins losing shield integrity

CMO_Quest-Mac:

SEC_Abbott:
CEO: Aye sir.

CEO_Toros:
SEC: Fire full spread photon and phasers.

CMO: no problem

OPS_Tekaro:

SEC_Abbott:
CEO: Firing full spread sir...

SEC_Abbott:

MO_Powers:
CMO: goodie ... not good

OPS_Tekaro:
::hears SEC, thinks: no, really?::

ACTD Nicke:
ACTION: the An Lu-Shan moves off and dodges the Apache fire, only to come around again and fire on her once again, knocking shields out

CEO_Toros:
OPS: Divert auxiliary power to the shields.  SEC: Return fire! 

XO_Valrek:
@CO: Sir, we need to do something. Whether it is here… ::points back to the Adm:: …or on our ship.

CMO_Quest-Mac:

OPS_Tekaro:
CEO: Aye sir! Completed...

ACTD Nicke:
ACTION: …the An Lu-Shan fires at the Apaches weapons array , knocking them out temporarily

CTO_Lu:
@CO: I concur with the XO, we need to take some action.

CMO_Quest-Mac:
:: grabs a medkit :: MO: NOW!

CO_Tyler-Turnbull:
@::looks thoughtful and concerned:: XO:  Yes, we must, but until we can return to the ship, we can not take action there.

CEO_Toros:
:: runs up to the flight control console taking it under his control taking the Apache out of orbit and out of the An Lu Shan's weapons range ::

MO_Powers:
CMO: yes sir… ::grabs a med kit and heads for the decks indicated::

SEC_Abbott:

CSO_Storal:
CEO: Sir our weapons have been knocked out

ACTD Nicke:
ACTION: the An Lu-Shan sees the Apache break orbit and follows it firing heavily on her

CNS_Naegle:
@CO: Sir, I agree with them for now.  We need to defend ourselves too.

CMO_Quest-Mac:
:: follows MO's heels, then turns the other way at one of the intersections ::

CEO_Toros:
All: Give me shields and weapons on the double!

XO_Valrek:
@CO: Then, sir, may I suggest one of us returning to the ship?

SEC_Abbott:

:: uses the wall to guide and steady herself ::

CEO_Toros:
OPS: Contact the Captain; tell her we're going to be back.  :: brings the ship about directly into the flight path of the An Lu Shan going to warp speed before hitting her ::

OPS_Tekaro:
CEO: The shields are coming back, sir, with the diverted energy

CO_Tyler-Turnbull:
@XO: With the ship under attack, shields will be up; they can't risk lowering it to transport one of us aboard.

OPS_Tekaro:
CEO: Aye sir

@CO: Are they’re any other ships within Com range of the planet?

CEO_Toros:
OPS: Acknowledged, Get under way to repair it.

OPS_Tekaro:

@Captain: emergency? 

CEO_Toros:
SEC: Work with engineering, ideally, that would be me, but I have a sturdy staff.

CMO: You should get that seen to

CMO_Quest-Mac:

Adm_Poradin:
@XO: Lost Communications?  Well fix it?  What is the problem?

CMO_Quest-Mac:
:: in a low voice... :: MO: Ens. Powers ... when you are done.. I would like to see you in my office....

@Captain/XO: Do you realize the importance here?

CEO_Toros:
*Shuttle Bay* Bring a shuttle craft online and activate it's Com system. OPS: See if you can re-route it through a shuttle's Com system. 

XO_Valrek:
@Adm: Sir, it is not from our end, it is from the ship. Apparently, it came under attack from another federation vessel. Would you happen to know why another federation vessel would attack the Apache?

OPS_Tekaro:
CEO: Aye sir. ::reroutes Com::

CO_Tyler-Turnbull:
@Admiral:  Yes, Sir! We do, we are here to assist in achieving peace for the Cyastans.

CO_Tyler-Turnbull:
Admiral:  Sir, if I may ask, what happened before we arrived?

CTO_Lu:
@::tries to open communications with the apache::

CMO_Quest-Mac:
:: drops her jaw open ::

Adm_Poradin:
@Captain:  I do not understand your question, Captain

XO_Valrek:
@Adm: You do have control of this system, do you not? And the attack did take place here.

CMO_Quest-Mac:
:: shakes her head and sews the patient back up. ::

CMO_Quest-Mac:
:: checks his vital signs, monitoring. ::

Adm_Poradin:
@XO: I am here ... same as you.... I will find out who attacked your ship and why... 

CMO_Quest-Mac:
:: clearly upset over MO's actions. ::

CO_Tyler-Turnbull:
@Admiral: You had a Federation ship providing support for you, and they abandoned you.  I thought you might have the answer to that.

CEO_Toros:
:: monitors incoming reports from all decks ::

Adm_Poradin:
@XO: For now, we need to get things organized here ... then we will concentrate on who attacked your ship.

CEO_Toros:
OPS: Status.

MO_Powers:
CMO: sir

CMO_Quest-Mac:
MO: One moment please...

Adm_Poradin:
@::clearly getting edgy and irritated:: Captain: I do NOT have any answers for you right now … so please ... Carry out your orders!

OPS_Tekaro:
CEO: No reading on the Com yet. Shields almost there, Weapons back online.

CMO_Quest-Mac:
:: takes off her rubber gloves with a snap ::

XO_Valrek:
@Adm: Sir, I see that you have already organized things prior to our scheduled training. ::motions to the weapons::

Adm_Poradin:
@::Looks around:: XO: In case you were not prepared to help them...

CMO_Quest-Mac:
