Star Trek: Apache - Episode #14
Week # 1
Mission: "Independence"

Host Jafo says:
With the Apache on routine patrol, a dinner was held in Fort Apache, the ship's lounge, for most of the senior staff. Treo, the Ossarran representative was asked to join the dinner as well.

Host Jafo says:
The festivities got underway with a few of the crew performing for the rest of the guests and there is talk of further activities to help lighten the mood and help get into the spirit of the upcoming Federation Day.

Host Jafo says:
The Apache is now enroute to the Riseal Homeworld on orders from Starfleet Command to help relocate a group of student and worker protesters.

::on the bridge, manning tactical one::

CNS_Vekh says:
::in his office, going over the Mission Briefing:: Self: Very well, political dissidents eh?  Computer: Open LCARS database.

CEO_Yeung says:
::in Main Engineering, performing diagnostics::

Host Computer says:
::chirps CNS: Database open.

CSO_Storal says:
::exits the turbolift and  walks over to  Science One::

SO_Hammond says:
::walking Mongo down the corridor::

OPS_Edgemoor says:
::at station::

Host CO_Tyler-Turnbull says:
::leaves her quarters with Brian on her hip::

Host Jafo says:
ACTION: Mongo stops to do his 'duty' on the nicely carpeted floor.

XO_Linard says:
::in her quarters getting ready for duty::

SO_Hammond says:
::looks around to make sure no one sees and continues walking::

CTO_Cha`Dak says:
CSO: Greetings Commander. 

CNS_Vekh says:
Computer: Compile information available on planet Riseal, Sovoko system. Search political system, judiciary system, customs and recent events since First Contact.

CIV_Lu says:
::finishes up his cappuccino and walks out his quarters and heads for the bridge::

CSO_Storal says:
CTO: Hello Mister Cha`Dak.

XO_Linard says:
::is in her bathroom fighting with her hair::

Host Computer says:
::chirps:: CNS: Working ... search may take several minutes.

CTO_Cha`Dak says:
::scans long-range sensors for any abnormal activity::

Host CO_Tyler-Turnbull says:
::walks down the corridor toward the turbolift and stops when she sees Mister Hammond with his dog:: SO:  How long have you had that dog on board?

CNS_Vekh says:
::with that he gets up and exits his office::

OPS_Edgemoor says:
CSO: Commander, I will need to make a few minor temporary crew quarters assignments in order to make room for our guests.

SO_Hammond says:
CO: A couple weeks now, sir.

Host Jafo says:
ACTION: Long-range scans reveal a freighter ahead of the Apache. It's warp field is fluctuating, an apparent problem with the power distribution through the vessels plasma manifolds.

CSO_Storal says:
OPS: What about our guest quarters … what happened to them?

CTO_Cha`Dak says:
CSO: Sir, long-range sensors are picking up a freighter ahead of us.

SO_Hammond says:
CO: My sister gave him to me.  A real pain in the rear this dog is.

Host Jafo says:
ACTION: As Counselor Vekh exits his office and heads down the corridor he steps in something mushy that smells of rotten Kava rolls.

CSO_Storal says:
CTO: On screen. What do the sensors have to say?

Host CO_Tyler-Turnbull says:
::notices the mess on the floor a few feet behind them:: SO:  I see why he needed his walk ::smiles::  I see that he could be a pain, but he is a pretty dog.  What do you call him?

CNS_Vekh says:
::looks at his boots:: Self: By the Ancient Green Demons. ::looks around for the 'criminal'::

XO_Linard says:
::growls a little at her hair and just yanks it back and ties it with a barrette ... leaves for the bridge knowing she'll be late if she waits any longer::

CIV_Lu says:
::enters the turbolift and heads for the bridge::

CTO_Cha`Dak says:
::places the image of the freighter on the viewscreen:: CSO: Its warp field is fluctuating, the source of the problem seems to be a problem with their power distribution system.

Host Jafo says:
ACTION: The freighter in question appears on the main viewscreen. Its running lights are operating, but it is clearly moving at less than maximum speed.

SO_Hammond says:
CO: Mongo.  ::starts to laugh at the CNS, but bites his tongue::

OPS_Edgemoor says:
CSO: Sir, we will have a few Risealan aboard I believe. Shall I hale the freighter?

CSO_Storal says:
OPS:  Open a channel.

CEO_Yeung says:
::walks about Main Engineering, going over reports::

XO_Linard says:
TL: Bridge…

Host CO_Tyler-Turnbull says:
::tries not to smile as she notices the look on the counselor's face:: CNS:  Good afternoon Counselor.

CNS_Vekh says:
::gives a look at the SO but declines from commenting:: *Cleaning Teams*: Report to my location ASAP.

CIV_Lu says:
::exits the turbolift and walks onto the bridge::

SO_Hammond says:
CNS: Afternoon sir.

OPS_Edgemoor says:
::attempts a general hail and waits::

CSO_Storal says:
CTO: Can  you identify the freighter.

Host CO_Tyler-Turnbull says:
SO:  Mongo?  That's an interesting name.

XO_Linard says:
::enters the bridge:: CSO: Report.

CNS_Vekh says:
::at noticing the captain, composes himself as if nothing had happened:: CO: Good afternoon sir. Greetings Mister Hammond.

CTO_Cha`Dak says:
CSO/XO: The ship appears to be unregistered in the Apaches database, sir.

OPS_Edgemoor says:
CSO: I’ve hailed them … still awaiting a reply.

CSO_Storal says:
::looks at the XO's  hair and smirks:: XO:  Sir, we just came across this unidentified freighter.

CIV_Lu says:
::looks at the viewscreen::

Host Jafo says:
ACTION: As the channel is opened, the view on the main screen changes to a close-up of a Targ's snout as it snorts and mews over the communication channel.

Host CO_Tyler-Turnbull says:
CNS:  How is your Olympics program project going?

CTO_Cha`Dak says:
Self: What...

SO_Hammond says:
CO: I didn't think it was.

CIV_Lu says:
Self: What the…

CSO_Storal says:
All:  What in the Fire Caves ... is that?  ::points at the viewscreen::

CTO_Cha`Dak says:
::stares bewildered at the viewscreen::

CTO_Cha`Dak says:
CSO: A Targ I believe, sir.

OPS_Edgemoor says:
::thinks; I hope that beast in not the one in command::

Host CO_Tyler-Turnbull says:
SO: I take it from that comment that your sister named the dog?

CIV_Lu says:
Self: It’s a zoo over there.

CNS_Vekh says:
::going over the subject:: CO: I must say it's going quite well, sir. Mister Cha`Dak has accepted heading the bat’leth competition and I was about to go invite another person for the martial arts competition.

OPS_Edgemoor says:
XO: The channel is open, sir.

Host CO_Tyler-Turnbull says:
CNS: That sounds wonderful, Counselor.  Who did you have in mind for that position?

SO_Hammond says:
CO: No sir, I named him.  Don't know why, he just looked like a Mongo.

CIV_Lu says:
::walks over to an empty station and conducts a scan on the freighter::

XO_Linard says:
COM: Freighter: This is the USS Apache, our sensors are detecting that you are having trouble. Do you need assistance?

CTO_Cha`Dak says:
ALL: Unfortunately, I do not speak Targ.

CIV_Lu says:
::overhears Cha`Dak and chuckles silently::

CNS_Vekh says:
CO: From the crew profiles, I've learned our Chief Engineer participates in the martial arts. I was about to go to Main Engineering.

Host Reg says:
@::pushes the Targ off of his console and smiles across subspace:: COM: Linard: Hi there, hot pants ... we got to stop running into each other like this.

Host CO_Tyler-Turnbull says:
::looks at the dog again, then squats down so that Brian can be closer to him:: SO: The name does fit him, has he been around children much?

OPS_Edgemoor says:
::wonders::

CSO_Storal says:
::whispers:: XO: Hot pants?

CTO_Cha`Dak says:
::glances at Ky::

Host CO_Tyler-Turnbull says:
::looks up at Drayan:: CNS: Commander Yeung would be excellent for that part of the project.

OPS_Edgemoor says:
::whispers:: XO: Shall I cut him off?

CIV_Lu says:
Self: Oh lord ... we have a 24th century red neck. ::mutters::

Host Reg says:
@COM: Linard: Don't tell me you forgot about me already ... it's only been, what, four months?

SO_Hammond says:
CO: Not since he's been on the ship.  He pretty much has stayed in my quarters eating my table.

XO_Linard says:
::grins:: Reg: Of course not, how could I possibly forget you?

CNS_Vekh says:
CO: So I hope, sir. That'll leave open only the head of the Arts Challenge. Also, there's something I'd like to ask of you, sir.

CTO_Cha`Dak says:
::recognizes Reg from a previous mission::

Host Reg says:
@::chuckles:: COM: Linard: That's what they always say...

OPS_Edgemoor says:
::thinks; I must have missed a lot::

Host CO_Tyler-Turnbull says:
::speaks softly to Brian:: Brian:  What do you think of the cute doggie?  ::Brian just coos in response and reaches for the dog::

CTO_Cha`Dak says:
::monitors Regs' freighter::

Host Reg says:
@COM: Linard: I'm having a little trouble with my warp engines. I don't suppose you could lend a hand? It might give us a chance to get reacquainted.

CSO_Storal says:
::turns his back to the viewscreen:: XO: You have some explaining to do kiddo. ::chuckles and mans his station::

Host CO_Tyler-Turnbull says:
SO:  Still teething at his size?  You're going to have your work cut out for you.  Either that or he misses you.  ::smiles::

CIV_Lu says:
Self: I know what he wants to get acquainted with...

XO_Linard says:
COM: Reg: Of course, we’ll make the shuttlebay available to you and have an Engineering Team standing by. 

Host CO_Tyler-Turnbull says:
::lets Brian pet Mongo for a moment then stands:: CNS:  What would you like to ask me, Commander?

SO_Hammond says:
CO: I think he just likes eating the table.  I think more to bug me, but I can't prove it.

XO_Linard says:
*CEO*: Mister Yeung, get an engineering team ready to meet a freighter in our shuttlebay.

Host Reg says:
@::nods:: COM: Linard: Thanks, sugar lips.

Host CO_Tyler-Turnbull says:
::laughs:: SO: Just give him a little more time.  If he's teething or lonely, it'll stop in a couple more weeks.

CNS_Vekh says:
CO: I think we should be all ready for the Olympics by next week. I'd like that you deliver an opening speech for the crew, if that's not asking too much.

CEO_Yeung says:
*XO*: Will do, Commander.

CSO_Storal says:
Self: I’m going to hurt that fellow.

CEO_Yeung says:
::calls over a few engineers and gets his repair kit::

CTO_Cha`Dak says:
::snarls slightly at the display of disrespect for his XO::

CEO_Yeung says:
*XO*: On my way, sir.

CSO_Storal says:
XO:  Should I meet him in the shuttle bay, sir?

XO_Linard says:
OPS: Have the ship brought into the shuttle bay.

Host CO_Tyler-Turnbull says:
::smiles:: CNS:  Not at all Commander, I would be glad to.  I think this project is just what everyone needs.

CEO_Yeung says:
::exits Main Engineering and enters the turbolift:: TL: Deck 3, Main Shuttlebay.

XO_Linard says:
CSO: That's okay Commander, I'll meet him there. You have the bridge. ::grins and winks::

Host Reg says:
ACTION: The floundering freighter moves to a position where it can enter the Apache's shuttlebay. It steers in slowly and sets down in an available spot taking up a significant amount of room in the bay.

CSO_Storal says:
XO: I knew you were going to say that. ::winks::

CNS_Vekh says:
CO: Thank you, sir. ::nods:: CO/SO: Now if you'll excuse me, I'll get that done.

Host CO_Tyler-Turnbull says:
::struggles with Brian as he tries to reach for Mongo:: CNS/SO:  If you'll excuse me, I need to get this little one down to his babysitter, since his nanny is on vacation.

CTO_Cha`Dak says:
XO: The vessel has safely docked in the shuttle bay. Should I have security attend?

CSO_Storal says:
CTO: Have a team meet our guest in the shuttlebay.

CEO_Yeung says:
::arrives on deck 3 and exits the turbolift::

CTO_Cha`Dak says:
CSO: Aye sir.

CNS_Vekh says:
::as he gets out of sight of the others, stops and cleans his boots on the carpet, getting away quickly::

Host Reg says:
::exits his craft and looks around, grinning and scratching at his stomach through the battered shirt he is wearing under his pilots jacket::

XO_Linard says:
CTO: Perhaps you could have a couple of your men meet me there, though I doubt there will be little to worry about.

CEO_Yeung says:
::enters shuttlebay::

XO_Linard says:
::enters the turbolift and heads for the shuttlebay::

CTO_Cha`Dak says:
::taps his combadge:: *Lt. Verall*: Lieutenant Verall, form a small security detail and have them go to shuttle bay two and meet Commander Linard there.

CSO_Storal says:
*SO*:  Storal to Hammond…

CEO_Yeung says:
::looks at the ship and whistles::

TO_Verall says:
*CTO*: Acknowledged sir.

SO_Hammond says:
*CSO*: Go ahead, sir.

XO_Linard says:
::exits the turbolift and enters the shuttlebay:: Reg: Welcome aboard. ::smiles readily::

Host Reg says:
::spots the CEO and hurries over pushing his hand into the Engineers:: CEO: Commander, great to see yah again. It's been awhile. ::pumps his hand vigorously::

CIV_Lu says:
::walks out of the bridge to see what kind of commotion this will start up::

CSO_Storal says:
*SO*: Where are you?

CTO_Cha`Dak says:
::turns back to the tactical console, monitoring the Cardassian border and their projected flight trajectory for hostile or abnormal activity::

CIV_Lu says:
::heads for the shuttlebay::

Host Reg says:
All: Hey, there's my girl. ::rushes over to Linard and sweeps her into his arms picking her up off the floor::

CEO_Yeung says:
Reg: Umm … yes, it has.

SO_Hammond says:
*CSO*: About to put Mongo in my quarters and report for duty, sir.  Why, what’s up?

CIV_Lu says:
::exits the turbolift at deck three and heads for the shuttlebay::

CSO_Storal says:
*SO*:  I need you to start mapping this sector … I know, boring job.

Host Reg says:
::sets her down and laughs, keeping one arm around her waist:: CEO: So you think you can do something with her? She started acting up about 5 light years back.

Host CO_Tyler-Turnbull says:
::nods at the two officers and continues to the turbolift:: TL: Deck 14.

XO_Linard says:
::is spun around the floor like an old mop and lands on her feet slightly disoriented:: Reg: Good ... to umm see you too.

CEO_Yeung says:
Reg: Oh? What's the main problem?

CTO_Cha`Dak says:
OPS: ETA to Riseal homeworld?

CSO_Storal says:
*SO*: Either that or assist the CEO in Main shuttlebay.

SO_Hammond says:
*CSO*: No problem, sir. I'll get right on it.

CNS_Vekh says:
Computer: Locate CEO Yeung.

CIV_Lu says:
::enters the shuttlebay::

Host CO_Tyler-Turnbull says:
::waits until the doors open then continues to Janice's quarters and ring the chime::

Host Reg says:
::lets go of the XO and walks over to talk with the CEO:: CEO: Well ... these old plasma manifolds just can't seem to hold up with the routes I have been running lately.

SO_Hammond says:
*CSO*: I think I'll check in with the chief before mapping.

Host Computer says:
CNS: Lieutenant Commander Yeung is in Shuttlebay Two.

CSO_Storal says:
::chuckles:: *SO*: I thought that you  might.

Host Reg says:
::slaps a panel of the hull:: All: I named her "Beta-Babe" after my favorite girl.

Janice says:
::opens the door and smiles broadly seeing little Brian::  CO:  I'm glad that you took me up on my offer.  ::reaches her arms out to the baby::

CEO_Yeung says:
Reg: Hmm … well, I'll go examine it. If we can’t fix the problem, we might have to replace them.

SO_Hammond says:
::puts Mongo in his quarters and makes sure the door shuts before leaving::

XO_Linard says:
::feels her face redden and laughs in her embarrassment::

CEO_Yeung says:
::chuckles weakly::

Host Reg says:
CEO: Sounds great, Chief. I'd surely appreciate that. How long you think I'll be stuck here?

SO_Hammond says:
::enters the turbolift:: TL: Main Shuttlebay.

CNS_Vekh says:
::frowns:: Self: Better wait for another opportunity. ::decides to go to the bridge::

Host CO_Tyler-Turnbull says:
::Brian scoots eagerly into Janice's waiting arms and waves and says bye:: Janice:  I appreciate your taking care of him for me.  I need to get up to the bridge so I'll see you later this evening.

CIV_Lu says:
::looks at Reg in disdain::

CSO_Storal says:
CTO: What do you know about the Orion pirates?

OPS_Edgemoor says:
::accesses flight panel view:: CTO: Well I'm no pro, but a couple hours perhaps?

CEO_Yeung says:
Reg: A few hours maybe. I'll know more precisely once I get to work.

XO_Linard says:
Reg: So Reg, what brings you to this sector of space?

Janice says:
CO:  Okay, Tyria, and don't worry ... I'll take good care of him for you.

XO_Linard says:
::makes a mental note not to tell the CSO about any of this::

CTO_Cha`Dak says:
CSO: Not much. I know they are worthy opponents, but of their piracy I know little.

Host CO_Tyler-Turnbull says:
Janice:  I know you will.  ::turns and enters the turbolift:: TL:  Bridge.

CNS_Vekh says:
::takes a turbolift and soon enough exits on Deck 1::

Host Reg says:
CEO: Great! ::turns to Linard:: XO: Looks like I am all yours for at least a few hours. ::smiles at her wickedly:: XO: This sector? Oh, you know me ... little of this, little of that. They'll pay a lot in this sector for the right goods.

CEO_Yeung says:
::motions his team to begin scans on the ship::

CIV_Lu says:
::looks at the heap of scrap metal Reg calls his ship::

Host CO_Tyler-Turnbull says:
::exits onto the Bridge and looks around at the officers on duty, quietly observing them at work::

CNS_Vekh says:
::enters the Bridge, hearing a mention of Orion pirates::

CTO_Cha`Dak says:
All: Captain on the bridge!

CSO_Storal says:
CO: Sir ... we have a guest.

CIV_Lu says:
::walks over to the CEO::

XO_Linard says:
::smirks:: Reg: That's what I was afraid of...

SO_Hammond says:
::exits the turbolift and heads over to the CEO:: CEO: How's it going, sir?  I was sent to see if you needed any assistance.

CEO_Yeung says:
::raises an eyebrow at his scans::

Host Reg says:
::brushes some dust off his pilots jacket and bangs a hand on his ship:: XO: Me and this girl have sure put in some light years ... been hauling perishables to the rim colonies for the most part. Ever since that Tellas fiasco  I’ve been staying away from the mercenary for hire gig as much as possible.

CEO_Yeung says:
Self: Very interesting...

XO_Linard says:
Reg: Did you want to get something to eat while we work on your ship?

CIV_Lu says:
CEO: Mister Yeung, mind if I borrow a tricorder?

Host CO_Tyler-Turnbull says:
::shakes her head:: All: As you were.

CNS_Vekh says:
::greets all officers present and moves to an empty station in the back of the bridge to check on his research on Riseal::

CEO_Yeung says:
::turns to SO and nods:: SO: We can always use an extra pair of hands, Lieutenant.

CEO_Yeung says:
::nods to Lu and hands him a tricorder::

Host CO_Tyler-Turnbull says:
::turns to Storal::  CSO:  A guest?  Who might that be?

CTO_Cha`Dak says:
::returns his attention to monitoring long and short range sensors::

SO_Hammond says:
CEO: Just point to where you would like me to start and I'll get right on it.

Host Reg says:
::moves up to her and wraps her up in his arms pulling her close and whispering:: XO: Oh, you're about all I want to eat up right now.

CIV_Lu says:
::thanks Yeung and scans for any contraband::

CEO_Yeung says:
CIV: By the way sir, what do you make of this? ::shows CIV results of his scans::

CSO_Storal says:
CO: A mercenary by the name of Reg. We found him aboard the Breen vessel during the Tellas mission.

CIV_Lu says:
::smirks:: CEO: Looks like hidden compartments used to smuggle … err, transport items.

XO_Linard says:
::clears her throat and takes a step back:: Reg: Well I'm flattered but this main course is spoken for … however I'm sure Fort Apache has something to suffice for now.

CEO_Yeung says:
::nods:: CIV: Like I thought. Well, I'll leave that to you, I've got some repairs to do.

Host CO_Tyler-Turnbull says:
CSO:  Ah yes, I remember him.  How did he manage to find us this time or was it the other way around?

Host Reg says:
XO: Spoken for? But I thought we were like two ships passing in the night ... or more like running into each other. ::moves his arm to around her shoulder and escorts her out of the shuttlebay::

CSO_Storal says:
CO: Unfortunately, it was the other way around.  He was having some engine problems. Commander Linard offered our assistance.

CIV_Lu says:
::nods at the CEO::

CEO_Yeung says:
::climbs aboard the ship and waves his hand in front of his nose at the smell inside::

CIV_Lu says:
::looks at his tricorder and grins:: Self: Look what we have here...

SO_Hammond says:
::follows the CEO inside and begins scanning::

Host CO_Tyler-Turnbull says:
CSO:  Good, and who is down there with him?

CSO_Storal says:
CO: So he’s docked in the main shuttlebay while his ship is being repaired.

CSO_Storal says:
CO: Commander Linard, sir.

Host Reg says:
ACTION: The security team arrives and begins to secure the freighter.

CEO_Yeung says:
::walks toward the warp manifolds::

CIV_Lu says:
::sends a message via the tricorder to Yeung’s tricorder, telling him the location of contraband behind the cockpit::

Host CO_Tyler-Turnbull says:
::nods:: CSO:  And has an engineering team been called?

XO_Linard says:
::ignores the arm for now:: Reg: Well, umm … you know … how things go…

CSO_Storal says:
CO:  Aye sir. Mister Yeung and his team are on hand.  I sent Mister Hammond to assist.

CEO_Yeung says:
::checks his tricorder and smirks::

Host Reg says:
::leads her towards a turbolift and a meal at Fort Apache:: XO: How is that ole warhorse, Jaxlt Burta, anyway?

OPS_Edgemoor says:
CO: Ma'am, ship hands report that enough room for quarters have been made for our expected guests on deck 11 and 12. Security Teams Alpha and Bravo will be on hand to provide security.  Anything else you feel we should make ready before we arrive?

CEO_Yeung says:
::acknowledges the message::

Host CO_Tyler-Turnbull says:
::looks forward to the helm at V'Taran:: CSO:  Are we still on course to Riseal?

CSO_Storal says:
CO: Aye sir … we should be there in a couple of hours.

CEO_Yeung says:
::walks behind the cockpit and rummages around::

CIV_Lu says:
::walks inside the freighter and heads over to the bulkhead and finds a small notch and opens it::

XO_Linard says:
Reg: Well, I don't think of Jax that way, but if you must know … he's doing great. I'm sure he'll enjoy having you for company once we reach the lounge.

CNS_Vekh says:
CO: Also, I've started a compilation of information on Risealan political and social organization, sir.

Host Reg says:
::absently:: XO: So word has it through the grapevine that you all are headed for the Riseal homeworld?

CNS_Vekh says:
::continues reading through the data::

CSO_Storal says:
::walks over to the CNS::

SO_Hammond says:
::looks at the results:: Self: If that is all he has, either he's not doing to well or just finished with something.

Host CO_Tyler-Turnbull says:
::takes the report from John:: OPS:  Check with Counselor Vekh to see if he knows of any particular needs they may have.  If he knows of anything more that they need you can go from there.  Thank you, Lieutenant.

CEO_Yeung says:
SO: Looks like our friend has some ale here, of the Romulan kind.

CIV_Lu says:
::sees a bunch of holoporn and x-rated Holonovels::

CSO_Storal says:
CNS: Commander, what do you know of the Orion Pirates.

XO_Linard says:
Reg: Yes we are … just routine duty. Why do you ask? ::looks at him curiously::

OPS_Edgemoor says:
::nods and motions the Counselor to his station for a brief moment::

Host CO_Tyler-Turnbull says:
CNS:  Excellent Counselor.  I'd like you to remain on the bridge until we know what to expect from the Risealans.

CNS_Vekh says:
::frowns at the CSO's question:: CSO: Unfortunately, I may know more than I'd like to, sir. Anything specific?

SO_Hammond says:
CEO: Looks that way.  Wonder what else he has onboard.

Host Reg says:
::shrugs and acts like it is nothing important:: XO: Oh, just thinking Riseal is no place for a nice girl like you. It's been pretty rough there for a while.

CIV_Lu says:
::shuts the bulkhead and shutters:: Self: I wouldn't touch that if I had a full bio-suit on…

CEO_Yeung says:
::continues rummaging around, finding some more contraband, a few of them stamped::

CSO_Storal says:
CNS: I’m sorry, but unfortunately you are our expert on Orion’s.

CEO_Yeung says:
SO: Hey, doesn't this look like an Orion Syndicate marking to you?

Host Reg says:
::enters Fort Apache and grins over at Jaxlt Burta::

XO_Linard says:
::gives him her usual warm "duty" smile:: Reg; Thanks for your concern Reg, but I've been in worse places.

CSO_Storal says:
CNS: I would like you to give any tactical information on the pirates to Mister Cha`Dak.

Host Jaxlt_Burta says:
::looks up as the door sounds:: All: Reg! ::stomps across the room and grips Reg's hand shaking it like their was no tomorrow::

CIV_Lu says:
::the stench is getting to him and so Max briskly strolls out of the "ship"::

CEO_Yeung says:
::looks around and finds a concealed weapon::

Host Reg says:
::mutters towards her, very seriously, while he shakes the XO's hand:: XO: No, you haven't.

SO_Hammond says:
CEO: Looks that way.  Either he's not that smart or he doesn't care what we find.  Which makes me wonder what he's doing here.

XO_Linard says:
::is curious about why he asked about the Riseal::

CEO_Yeung says:
SO: Yeah, I wonder...

OPS_Edgemoor says:
CSO: I took the liberty of collecting some of that data from our files and have placed it on a PADD for the CTO already.

Host Jaxlt_Burta says:
::grinning as broadly as is possible for his features:: Reg: Let me get you a drink! ::as an afterthought:: XO: Anything for you, Commander?

CSO_Storal says:
OPS:  Excellent Mister Edgemoor.

CEO_Yeung says:
SO: Get Captain Lu in here, I'm going to look further in the ship.

Host CO_Tyler-Turnbull says:
CNS: What have you learned about the Risealans, Commander?

XO_Linard says:
::gets a little concerned but smiles just the same at Jax:: Jax: Nothing for me thank you, I'm going to be heading back to the bridge shortly.

SO_Hammond says:
CEO: Aye sir.  ::continues looking around as he goes to get Captain Lu::

Host Reg says:
::looks at Linard disappointedly but nods:: XO: Okay, sweetie ... I better check in on your Engineers anyway.

CSO_Storal says:
::walks back over to Science One and begins his sensor sweep::

CIV_Lu says:
::looks around the outside of the freighter::

CIV_Lu says:
::I’m surprised this thing even flies, let alone move::

CEO_Yeung says:
::examines the plasma manifolds with his tricorder::

SO_Hammond says:
::pokes his head out of the ship:: CIV: Sir, Commander Yeung requests your presence onboard.

Host Jaxlt_Burta says:
::brings Reg a drink:: Reg: You aren't leaving just yet! You and I are going to catch up! ::slams the drink down in front of the mercenary with a thud and a cheery belly laugh::

XO_Linard says:
Reg: Of course, I'll be back later anyway. Enjoy your drink. ::smiles at him and leaves for the turbolift::

Host Reg says:
ACTION: To the trained eye of Commander Yeung, it is immediately apparently that the Plasma manifolds were manually left full on for a long duration of time then they were able to handle.

XO_Linard says:
TL: Bridge…

CIV_Lu says:
::walks back into the garbage scowl::

CEO_Yeung says:
Self: Hmmm...

XO_Linard says:
::exits the turbolift and enters the bridge::

Host Reg says:
::grins and commiserates with Jax almost immediately forgetting about Linard::

CIV_Lu says:
::starts looking around the ship again::

CSO_Storal says:
::looks up at the XO as she comes in and  mouths the words ... "Hot pants"::

CEO_Yeung says:
::closes his tricorder and walks towards the front end of the ship::

SO_Hammond says:
::begins scanning the rest of the ship:: Self: I know there is something else in here, I can feel it.

CSO_Storal says:
*CEO*: Status report, Mister Yeung.

XO_Linard says:
::nods to the CO:: CO: Captain, seems we've crossed paths with our old friend Reg again.

OPS_Edgemoor says:
::walks over to Cha`Dak and presents a PADD:: CTO: This is information I extracted from the SFC database. It's tactical information on the Orion Syndicate ... one of many Orion Pirate groups.  ::walks back to post::

Host CO_Tyler-Turnbull says:
::notices the XO coming off the lift:: XO:  So Commander Storal informed me.  Were you able to find out anything?

CEO_Yeung says:
*CSO*: I've isolated the problem with the ship, Commander, and we're about to start repairs. We've also found some peculiar items aboard which I think you should see personally.

CNS_Vekh says:
::going over his research:: CO: There's not much information on the Risealans, sir … mostly due to their desire to remain planet-bound.

CTO_Cha`Dak says:
::takes the PADD from OPS:: OPS: Thank you, Lieutenant.

CSO_Storal says:
*CEO*: On my way.

XO_Linard says:
CO: Not particularly, but he did seem rather interested in our destination to the Risealan homeworld.

CEO_Yeung says:
::gets out of the ship and orders his engineers to get the parts needed for repairs::

CSO_Storal says:
CO: Sir, Mister Yeung requests my assistance in the shuttlebay.

Host CO_Tyler-Turnbull says:
CNS:  I see, thank you Counselor.

CTO_Cha`Dak says:
::begins transferring the data from the PADD into the Apaches database, making sure to also add the identification and registration of Reg's ship::

Host CO_Tyler-Turnbull says:
XO:  That's interesting.  Were you able to sense anything from him?

CNS_Vekh says:
CO: They are standard humanoids though. What got my attention is that their government head has shifted no less than 6 times since first contact with the Federation.

CEO_Yeung says:
::goes back into the ship and begins taking out the burnt out parts::

Host CO_Tyler-Turnbull says:
::nods to Storal:: CSO: Carry on, Commander.

CIV_Lu says:
::looks around the ship one last time and hurries out::

CSO_Storal says:
::gets up and enters the turbolift::  Computer: Main shuttlebay.

CNS_Vekh says:
CO: Plus, they have a rather unusual judicial system that does not require the presence of evidence to call someone guilty. ::grunts something about that::

XO_Linard says:
::smirks:: CO: Well, he's the Reg that we all know and love if that's what you’re asking.

SO_Hammond says:
::heads to the back of the ship::

CSO_Storal says:
::exits the turbolift and  enters Main Shuttlebay::  CEO: What have you found, Mister Yeung?

Host CO_Tyler-Turnbull says:
CNS: That is rather peculiar.  But I've heard of many governments having that kind of change over.

CEO_Yeung says:
::waves over the CSO:: CSO: Quite a lot, sir.

CSO_Storal says:
CEO: Report.

CSO_Storal says:
::walks over to see what the CEO has found::

CEO_Yeung says:
CSO: Aside from the usual depraved items, we've found some cases of Romulan ale, more contraband of various natures, and some of them marked with Orion syndicate markings.

CEO_Yeung says:
::shows the CSO the items::

Host CO_Tyler-Turnbull says:
::smiles at the XO:: XO:  I see, do you think that we should have someone remain with him?

SO_Hammond says:
::helps the engineers with the repairs::

CEO_Yeung says:
CSO: There's also a weapon in the cockpit.

CIV_Lu says:
::walks over to the CEO and CSO::

CNS_Vekh says:
CO: Indeed, sir. For the Risealans, the words and opinions of their Judges are considered fact. I'll try to have some more updated information before we arrive.

CSO_Storal says:
CEO: I see, what about the ship as a whole.

CNS_Vekh says:
CO: In the group we'll be picking up, there'll be one of the leaders of Risealan opposition, a teacher by the name of Omin Rego

XO_Linard says:
CO: Yes, I think that would be a good idea. I think he's hiding something. There's more to his presence than just that burnt out manifold. Jax is with him now, but it wouldn't hurt to have someone "buddy" around with him just to keep their eye on him.

CIV_Lu says:
CSO: I'm surprised this bucket of bolts even flies, Commander!

CEO_Yeung says:
CSO: Well, the plasma manifolds are burnt out and will need some replacing.  It seems Reg was pushing his ship to the max, for a long time.

CSO_Storal says:
CIV: What’s your take on this Max?

CSO_Storal says:
CEO: That’s not out of the norm in his line of business, Jon.

CIV_Lu says:
CSO: The worst type of smuggler/pirate ... but devious, from what I gather he was found on a Breen ship?

CSO_Storal says:
CIV: That’s correct.

Host CO_Tyler-Turnbull says:
XO:  Perhaps you should have Commander Storal, "buddy" up with him as you call it, and try to find out if he knows anything about Riseal that isn't in our records.  If so, then perhaps we could enlist him to serve as a guide once we arrive there.

CEO_Yeung says:
CSO: I agree, kind of an amazing coincidence that he should come across our path, eh, Commander.

CIV_Lu says:
CSO: He'll probably work for the highest bidder; he might or might not have a hidden agenda.

Host Reg says:
ACTION: The security console begins to chatter next to Mister Cha`Dak - someone is reporting a disturbance in Fort Apache.

XO_Linard says:
::nods:: CO: Agreed. I'll have him join Reg in the lounge.

SO_Hammond says:
::tries to calculate how long it would take to burn out the manifolds to get an idea of how far he has come::  Self: Maybe I can figure out where he came from.

OPS_Edgemoor says:
::looks to the CTO::

CSO_Storal says:
CEO/CIV:  I agree ... confiscate all cargo and go through the ships sensor logs.  I want to know where he has been recently.

CTO_Cha`Dak says:
::attends the alert:: CO/XO: There is a disturbance... ::snarls:: …it is in Fort Apache.

Host CO_Tyler-Turnbull says:
CNS:  I believe I remember seeing that name in the report from Starfleet.  Thank you Commander, this should prove to be an interesting and educational mission.

CEO_Yeung says:
::nods:: CSO: Will do, sir.

XO_Linard says:
::taps her combadge:: *CSO*: Would you mind finding our guest in the lounge and being his formal escort?

OPS_Edgemoor says:
:: readies power if sectional shielding is needed ::

Host CO_Tyler-Turnbull says:
CTO:  Have a security detail report to Fort Apache to assist in breaking up the disturbance.  If our guest is involved, have him turned over to Mister Storal.

CIV_Lu says:
::looks nonchalantly at Yeung:: CEO: You mind confiscating the holoporn?

CSO_Storal says:
*XO*: Aye sir.

CTO_Cha`Dak says:
CO: Aye sir.

CSO_Storal says:
*XO*: On my way.

CEO_Yeung says:
CIV: Um, you can handle that if you want.

CSO_Storal says:
CEO/CIV:  Keep me informed … this ship doesn’t leave, understood?

CTO_Cha`Dak says:
::taps his combadge:: *Verall*: Lieutenant, report to Fort Apache immediately and investigate the disturbance there.

XO_Linard says:
*CSO*: Be sure to report anything suspicious from him, Commander.

CIV_Lu says:
CSO: Understood.

TO_Verall says:
*CTO*: Aye sir.

CEO_Yeung says:
CSO: Yes sir. There might be some ... delays in the repairs.

CNS_Vekh says:
CO: Yes sir. ::has a feeling that the mission will pass far from 'educational', but keeps the feeling to himself for now::

CSO_Storal says:
::smiles:: CEO: I thought their might be…

CEO_Yeung says:
::smiles slyly::

CSO_Storal says:
::heads to Fort Apache to meet Reg::

CIV_Lu says:
CEO: Mister Yeung while you’re at it you might want to plant this somewhere.

CIV_Lu says:
::hands CEO Yeung a transponder beacon::

TO_Verall says:
::enters a turbolift:: TL: Apache’s lounge…

CEO_Yeung says:
::nods:: CIV: Good idea...

CIV_Lu says:
::small tiny, transponder beacon::

CEO_Yeung says:
::sees his engineers return with the replacement parts::

CSO_Storal says:
::exits the turbolift and arrives at Fort Apache::  Jax: What’s going on?

Host Reg says:
ACTION: As Storal and Verall, with his security team, rush into Fort Apache they are greeted by cheers and chants of dozens of crewmembers who are cheering on Reg and Jaxlt who appear to be trying to outdo each other ... by drinking each other under the table.
