Host Jafo says:
Star Trek: Apache - Episode #14
Week # 3
Mission: "Independence"

Host Jafo says:
Commander Storal and Commander Vekh led a briefing of the Apache's Senior Officers in the main briefing room to remind everyone of the seriousness of the situation on the Riseal Homeworld.

Host Jafo says:
Following the meeting, Commander Linard led an away team to the planet's surface to determine the situation there and begin the process of removing Omin Rego and his Lieutenants from Risealan custody.

Host Jafo says:
Commander Vekh took advantage of his time on the surface to meet with Omin Rego for the first time while Commander Linard and Mister Cha`Dak met with Colonel Dathom, head of Federation forces on the planet.

CSO_Storal says:
*SO*: Mister Hammond, report to the bridge.

SO_Hammond says:
::puts the final touches on his uniform before heading out:: Mongo: You know you’re going to run out of table soon.

XO_Linard says:
@::is on her way with Cha`Dak to meet with the Colonel::

CSO_Storal says:
CO: None at this time, sir. They should be checking in shortly.

SO_Hammond says:
*CSO*: I'm on my way, sir. ::heads for the bridge::

EO_Powers says:
%::on a shuttle, returning to the Apache::

CTO_Cha`Dak says:
@::accompanying Commander Linard, warily glancing from left to right::

OPS_Edgemoor says:
::in his quarters he looks at time:: COM: SB 366: Anne: I left a crewman at my post ... it's been almost 2 hours, I need to get back.  Later love, take care. It's been good talking to you!

Host Jafo says:
ACTION: Judge Anderson shows Vekh into an area of the building that very much resembles a dark, dank, dungeon. They pass cell after cell that appear empty but the Orion's strong sense of smell detects the definite presence of humanoids.

Host CO_Tyler-Turnbull says:
CSO:  Thank you, Commander.  ::remembers his plans for leave:: Do you have everything ready for your trip?

CNS_Vekh says:
@::walks through the detention area intentionally slower than necessary trying to take in everything:: Judge_Anderson: All of Rego's men are here too?

CMO_Naegle says:
::decides to head to the shuttlebay::

Host Judge_Anderson says:
Vekh: Some of them ... the ones that were not transported by the Tiananmen.

SO_Hammond says:
::exits the turbolift and heads over to science one::

CSO_Storal says:
CO: Yes sir, I just need to stop by my office and collect a few things. I’m just waiting for my shuttle assignment.

CNS_Vekh says:
@::smells humanoids:: Judge_Anderson: I see … very well.

Host Jafo says:
ACTION: Eventually, Anderson and Vekh pass beyond the cells and into an open area. Judges can be barely seen beyond the shadows in the area and then they come to a heavy wooden door. Anderson shows Vekh in, and latches the door behind him.

XO_Linard says:
@::looks at Cha`Dak:: CTO: Try and take it easy for now, Commander. I don't want to provoke anything unnecessary.

CMO_Naegle says:
::goes out of sickbay and into the turbolift, asking for deck three::

Anne_Edgemoor says:
#COM: Apache: Edgemoor: Yes John, you just got back there don't make the command staff wait on you.  I'll talk to you tomorrow! Love you! ::closes comm channel from her end::

Host CO_Tyler-Turnbull says:
CSO:  Lieutenant Edgemoor and Lieutenant V'Taran should have the shuttle arrangements made.

EO_Powers says:
%COM: Apache: This is Engineering Officer Powers, requesting permission to dock.

CSO_Storal says:
CO: Aye sir.

CNS_Vekh says:
@::eyes quickly adjust to dimly lit area and he looks around for Omin Rego::

CTO_Cha`Dak says:
@XO: I cannot help it, sir. ::quietly spoken:: XO: These people put me on edge.

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

SO_Hammond says:
CSO: You rang, sir? ::smiles::

CSO_Storal says:
*OPS*:  Mister Edgemoor, is my shuttle ready?

Host Omin_Rego says:
@::was working on something in a corner of his cell and stands, glancing at Vekh ... slowly, a smile brightens the older man's face:: CNS: Allow me to introduce myself, I am Omin Rego ... but I imagine you knew that.

XO_Linard says:
@::pats his shoulder and nods whispering:: CTO: I understand. I'm trying not to show it myself...

OPS_Edgemoor says:
::folds his console down and heads for the door, turning when he hears the CSO::

Host Judge_Hershey says:
@XO/CTO: I'm sorry to keep you waiting ... I'll show you to the Colonel's office now. ::ushers them down a brightly lit, and quite modern looking, corridor.

CSO_Storal says:
SO: Yes Lieutenant, I’m leaving momentarily. I need you to continue mapping and also monitor Tactical sensors in the absence of Chief Cha`Dak.

CNS_Vekh says:
@::spots him:: Omin: Indeed I do, Mister Rego. My turn now: I'm Commander Drayan Vekh, Chief Counselor of the USS Apache. And I guess you know why I'm here.

SO_Hammond says:
CSO: Aye sir.

CTO_Cha`Dak says:
@::gives Kathleen a knowing glance, before turning his attention to Judge Hershey and following her down the corridor::

XO_Linard says:
@::nods with a smile:: Hershey: It's quite all right, I understand you are quite busy.

Host OPS_Rakhmatullin says:
::hears the COM:: COM: EO:  You are cleared for landing in the main shuttlebay, doors will be open momentarily.

XO_Linard says:
@::follows the Judge::

OPS_Edgemoor says:
*CSO*: Sir, there is a Type 8 Armed Personnel Shuttle waiting for you in shuttle bay one. I hope it will be sufficient, sir?

Host Omin_Rego says:
@::grins at the Orion and shakes his hands:: CNS: Please, call me Omin ... my father was Mister Rego.

TO_Verall says:
@::quietly takes a position just inside the doorway::

CSO_Storal says:
*OPS*:  Excellent, thank you Mister Edgemoor.

Host OPS_Rakhmatullin says:
::begins the sequence to open the shuttlebay doors and watches as the shuttle completes its approach::

Host Judge_Hershey says:
@XO: Oh, quite busy Commander ... but I was pleased that the Protectorate allowed me time off to accompany your vessel on its mission.

CMO_Naegle says:
::enters the shuttlebay as the shuttle approaches::

Host OPS_Rakhmatullin says:
COM: EO: Permission granted. ::opens shuttle bay 1::

EO_Powers says:
%::lands his craft in the Apache’s shuttlebay::

CSO_Storal says:
::whispers:: SO: Joseph, I don’t know when I will be back ... or if I am even coming back.  Angel will help  you with whatever you need.

CNS_Vekh says:
@::returns Rego's handshake:: Omin: If you say so ... Omin. You can call me Drayan if you wish. I was ordered to act as a liaison between your group and the Risealan security escort during our voyage.

XO_Linard says:
@Judge Hershey: We are glad of that as well. I hope that this transfer goes smoothly.

Host OPS_Rakhmatullin says:
::closes the shuttlebay doors behind Power's shuttle and resumes his monitoring of the surface::

Host Omin_Rego says:
@::smiles at Vekh and nods:: CNS: Yes ... but I suspect you have many of your own questions too. ::chuckles with a small glint in his eye::

CMO_Naegle says:
::watches as the shuttle docks in the shuttlebay::

SO_Hammond says:
::whispers:: CSO: You'll be back, sir. You love it here. ::smile::

CTO_Cha`Dak says:
@Hershey: Should we be expecting any trouble during this transport?

OPS_Edgemoor says:
::runs to the turbolift:: Self: Geez, I'm late! TL: Bridge...

EO_Powers says:
::gets his bag and opens the hatch of the shuttle::

Host Judge_Hershey says:
@::sarcastically:: CTO: Trouble? From Omin Rego? Whatever would give you that idea? ::raps her knuckles on a door:: CTO/XO: Dathom will see you right away.

CMO_Naegle says:
::walks up to greet Mister Powers as he disembarks the shuttle::

CSO_Storal says:
SO: I’m not sure Joseph. Any headway on Reg's sensor logs?

CNS_Vekh says:
@::is quietly measuring the man before him, trying to fit him into the mold of bloody terrorist, as Risealan authorities have described him:: Omin: You could say that, Omin. For one, you don't seem particularly depressed at the prospect of exile, do you?

XO_Linard says:
@::nods and grins at her joke:: Hershey: Thank you. ::enters Dathom's office::

CTO_Cha`Dak says:
@::allows the XO to enter before him::

EO_Powers says:
::smiles at the CMO:: CMO: How's the new sickbay?

SO_Hammond says:
CSO: Yeah, they indicate he visited almost half the planets in the sector within the last month.

Host Omin_Rego says:
@::thinks on that for a moment, brushing a strand of long graying hair out of his dark complexioned face and answers calmly:: CNS: I'm being taken away from my home, Drayan. Of course it bothers me. How would you feel?

CMO_Naegle says:
::smiles back:: EO: John! You look wonderful.  The Sickbay is just great, thank you.  How was your trip?

SO_Hammond says:
CSO: That's a lot of travel time for such a small ship, sir.

Host Jafo says:
ACTION: Commander Linard and Lt. Commander Cha`Dak are shown into the office of Colonel Dathom Strom, Commander in Chief of Federation Forces on the Risealan homeworld.

CSO_Storal says:
SO: Any deliveries or cargo pickups?

CTO_Cha`Dak says:
@::glances around the office::

Host Col_Dathom says:
@::rises from behind his desk:: CTO/XO: Commander ... Lieutenant Commander ... we've been expecting you.

OPS_Edgemoor says:
::the lift comes to a sudden stop and the doors breeze open revealing a busy bridge crewman. John hurries to his station trying not to draw attention:: Rakhmatullin: Thanks for watching the panel for me. dismissed.

Host CO_Tyler-Turnbull says:
::sees Lieutenant Edgemoor exit the lift:: OPS: So good of you to rejoin us, Lieutenant.  I take it that everything checked out in sickbay?

EO_Powers says:
CMO: Thanks. The trip was great, and it's done me a world of good.

XO_Linard says:
@::smiles and extends her hand:: Dathom: Kathleen Linard, this is our Chief Tactical Officer, K’hora Cha`Dak....

SO_Hammond says:
CSO: Yes on both accounts, sir.

CNS_Vekh says:
@::remembers how many years he has been away from Ri'igel, his homeworld:: Omin: Not a particularly exciting prospect. However, I believe your options here are rather limited … exile or capital punishment.

Host CO_Tyler-Turnbull says:
::listens as Storal and Hammond discuss Reg's sensor logs::

CTO_Cha`Dak says:
@::offers a nod:: Dathom: Colonel.

Host Col_Dathom says:
@::nods, not really caring what their names are:: XO/CTO: I presume the Apache has been prepared to receive Omin and his Lieutenants?

CMO_Naegle says:
EO: That's good.  Well, I've got a portable tricorder here.  Let me give you the once over before you report for duty, okay?

CSO_Storal says:
SO: Very well … as soon as the ship is repaired, confiscate all cargo aboard.

Host Omin_Rego says:
@::laughs and slaps Vekh on the shoulder:: CNS: When you get to be my age, death might not look so bad to you. ::goes to what appears to be a kind of replicator:: CNS: Can I get you anything?

OPS_Edgemoor says:
CO: Captain, I was never in sickbay … was I supposed to be?

XO_Linard says:
@Dathom: Absolutely, Colonel. We have accommodations ready and waiting.

SO_Hammond says:
CSO: We already confiscated the cargo sometime ago, sir … as per your orders, you may recall.

CMO_Naegle says:
::gets out her tricorder::

EO_Powers says:
CMO: Okay. Have you been busy while I’ve been gone?

CSO_Storal says:
CO: There is nothing out of the ordinary in Reg's sensor logs.  He appears to check out so far.

Host CO_Tyler-Turnbull says:
CSO:  Understood.

CSO_Storal says:
SO: That’s right.  I’m sorry I have a lot on my mind.

Host CO_Tyler-Turnbull says:
OPS:  It was my understanding that you were to report there for your physical.

SO_Hammond says:
CSO: I understand, sir.  I would also, under the circumstances.

Host Col_Dathom says:
@XO/CTO: I doubt they will give you much trouble ... the Zlibra are far more easy-going than the Risealan Government would have you believe. But it always pays to be prepared.

CSO_Storal says:
COM:CTO: Storal to Cha`Dak.

CMO_Naegle says:
::runs her tricorder over Mister Powers and gestures for him to follow her out of the shuttlebay:: EO: Busy enough.

CNS_Vekh says:
@::pretends he did not notice Omin's attempt to socialize:: Omin: I'm the off-worlder here, so I'd guess you can choose it yourself. Something to drink would be fine.

XO_Linard says:
@Dathom: Of course, shall we proceed then?

CTO_Cha`Dak says:
@Dathom: Excuse me, sir. ::turns away from the Colonel, tapping his combadge::

CMO_Naegle says:
::looks at the readings as they walk::

CTO_Cha`Dak says:
@COM: Apache: Cha`Dak here, go ahead Apache....

EO_Powers says:
::follows the CMO::

CSO_Storal says:
COM:CTO: Status report, Commander?

Host Jafo says:
ACTION: The lights in the corridor that Naegle and Powers are passing through flare up to a higher intensity briefly, and then drop down again.

Host Col_Dathom says:
@XO: Absolutely, my Marines are standing by. ::presses a button on his desk:: XO: Are you armed, Commander?

CMO_Naegle says:
::looks at the Engineer:: EO: What the heck was that?

Host CO_Tyler-Turnbull says:
::glances back at the Science station::  SO:  If you find anything out of the ordinary, report it immediately, Lieutenant.

OPS_Edgemoor says:
CO: Captain, in all honesty I had an open channel to Anne, my wife ... we had a few things to discuss. But I suppose it can wait till later. Or now, I’ll go now. ::waves his relief crewman over::

CTO_Cha`Dak says:
@COM: Apache: We are about to receive our guests shortly, Commander.

EO_Powers says:
CMO: A power surge?

CSO_Storal says:
COM: CTO: Acknowledged.

CNS_Vekh says:
@::crosses his arms:: Omin: I've heard there was some controversy around your 'capture' by Colonel Dathom, Omin.

CMO_Naegle says:
EO: Could be.

CTO_Cha`Dak says:
@::turns his attention back to Dathom::

XO_Linard says:
@Dathom: I always am Colonel... ::smiles:: …it's Starfleet protocol.

SO_Hammond says:
::checks on the scans of the area:: Self: Let's see if there is anything out there.

EO_Powers says:
CMO: I'll check it out when I get to Main Engineering.

CSO_Storal says:
CO:  Sir, status reports are in from the away team. Mister Cha`Dak reports that they are just about to obtain custody of the prisoners.

Host CO_Tyler-Turnbull says:
OPS:  You can wait until Doctor Naegle is ready for you.  Until then, you should remain at your station.

SO_Hammond says:
CO: Will do, sir.

Host Omin_Rego says:
@::orders a water for the Counselor:: CNS: Always best to go with water ... it's the universal constant. ::hands the glass to the Counselor:: CNS: Controversy? Not sure what you mean ... or do you find it odd that I would surrender myself after so many years in the concentration camps? And so many years more of hiding...

CMO_Naegle says:
EO: All right.

Host CO_Tyler-Turnbull says:
CSO:  Excellent Commander, perhaps we will have the first phase of this mission wrapped up soon.

Host Col_Dathom says:
@::mutters something about Fleeter’s and goes over to his own personal weapons locker, pulling out a compression phaser rifle and several extra charges::

CMO_Naegle says:
::reads her tricorder again:: EO: By the way, I declare you fit for duty … and welcome back.

CNS_Vekh says:
@::takes the glass and eyes Omin sharply:: Omin: Concentration camps you said?

TO_Verall says:
@::continues to stand attentively, hands held behind back::

CSO_Storal says:
CO: Agreed,  the sooner we  have our team on the  ship the better.

CMO_Naegle says:
::goes into a turbolift with the Engineer::

XO_Linard says:
@::overhears his thoughts and frowns, giving Cha`Dak a quick glance::

EO_Powers says:
CMO: Good and thanks. It's good to be back.

Host Omin_Rego says:
@::sits on the edge of the bed and regards the CNS with surprise:: CNS: You don’t know about them? Oh, the government refers to them as reservations ... but it’s no different than a concentration camp to the Risealians forced to live there.

Host CO_Tyler-Turnbull says:
::nods to Storal::  CSO:  I agree completely.

CTO_Cha`Dak says:
@::frowns slightly:: Dathom: Will they really be necessary, Colonel? ::nods towards the weapons he has just procured::

SO_Hammond says:
::checks on tactical scans::

CMO_Naegle says:
EO: I’m curious, John. Do you mind if I go to Engineering with you?

Host Col_Dathom says:
@::glares at Cha`Dak:: CTO: You're on my planet, Klingon. You’ll follow my rules. ::heads for his door where several Marines have suddenly appeared::

CSO_Storal says:
CO: Sir, is there any correspondence that you need me to take to the Headquarters? I’ll be in the neighborhood.

CNS_Vekh says:
@::thinks, the pleasure of first hand information:: Omin: I must admit that ... my files may be incomplete at some points. I'd be very interested in learning more about the 'reservations'.

CTO_Cha`Dak says:
@::takes a deep breath, remembering where and who he is::

EO_Powers says:
CMO: Sure, I don't mind.

Host Omin_Rego says:
@::smiles and nods:: CNS: A lack of information seems to plague the Federation ... it's something you really should look into.

CNS_Vekh says:
@::dozens of possibilities of breaking the Prime Directive cross his mind, but he decides it won't hurt just to listen::

CMO_Naegle says:
TL: Main Engineering…

XO_Linard says:
@::frowns further and looks at Cha`Dak to contain himself, knowing how hard it is for him:: Dathom: I'm sure that Mister Cha`Dak was just trying to keep this as smooth and conflict free as possible, Colonel.

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

Host Jafo says:
ACTION: Dathom shows Vekh and Cha`Dak back down the corridor towards the security checkpoint. He bows slightly at the Judges as they pass but doesn't ever really look at them. Behind the group a squad of Marines, in full gear, fall into step.

Host CO_Tyler-Turnbull says:
::nods:: CSO:  Thank you Commander, there is a small stack on the corner of my desk in the ready room.  Basically the standard reports, however there are a few personal items there that should be kept confidential.

CNS_Vekh says:
@Omin: You may be right about that part. For how long these 'reservations' have been in operation … I would have expected the First Contact team reports to mention them.

CSO_Storal says:
CO:  Will do. I'll get them. ::heads to the Ready Room::

Host Omin_Rego says:
@::stands as he hears the movement of Judges outside his door:: CNS: Perhaps later, Drayan. For now, I believe our judgment awaits us. ::again clasps the mans shoulders briefly::

CMO_Naegle says:
::exits the turbolift at Main Engineering::

XO_Linard says:
@::follows the Colonel keeping her calm, but just as wary as Cha`Dak::

CTO_Cha`Dak says:
@XO: I have a bad feeling about this, sir.

Host CO_Tyler-Turnbull says:
::returns her attention to the viewscreen after giving Storal a brief nod::

CIV_Lu says:
CO: Excuse me Captain, but when are the away teams scheduled to return?

OPS_Edgemoor says:
::takes his station back::

EO_Powers says:
::enters Main Engineering::

CSO_Storal says:
::enters the ready room and sees the stack the Captain had indicated… picks up the PADD’s and leaves the room::

CMO_Naegle says:
EO: So what kind of power surge would do that?

XO_Linard says:
@::mutters to the CTO:: CTO: Just stay on guard, K’hora.

CNS_Vekh says:
@::having long heard the footsteps, he thanks his enhanced hearing and is not surprised at the newcomers:: Omin: You are correct. But be assured that I'll hold you up to that conversation you promised. ::stands as he waits the Judges::

Host Jafo says:
ACTION: Judge Hershey falls into step beside Dathom Strom, her helmet has been put back into place and only her mouth and jaw line are visible. Her jaw is set, in a determined look, and she does not acknowledge Dathom, nor does he acknowledge her.

Host CO_Tyler-Turnbull says:
CIV: Captain, as soon as the prisoner transfer is complete and the security detail is ready to transport to the Apache.

CTO_Cha`Dak says:
@::offers her an encouraging nod::

EO_Powers says:
::goes over to a console and checks the power distribution in the hallway just before, during, and after the lights power surge::

XO_Linard says:
@::watches the formalities::

CIV_Lu says:
CO: The security detail consists of Colonel Dathom's marines and our security personnel?

Host Judge_Anderson says:
@::knocks on the door to Omin's cell:: CNS: Vekh, you about done in there?

CMO_Naegle says:
EO: What do you see?

CSO_Storal says:
CO: Sir, are these the reports you mentioned? ::shows  her  the PADD’s::

CNS_Vekh says:
@Anderson: Yes I am, Judge Anderson. Ready to go when you are.

Host CO_Tyler-Turnbull says:
CIV:  A Risealan security force, possibly established by the Judges.

Host Jafo says:
ACTION: Powers finds an unusual entry in the power distribution logs. Power was diverted from the M/ARC through the ODN network that runs through the corridor he passed through to another section of the ship, briefly.

Host Jafo says:
ACTION: Judge Anderson swings open the door to Omin Rego's cell and, as Drayan Vekh turns towards the door, he finds himself face to face with a dark skinned Risealan that he immediately recognizes as Oreh Dash.

CTO_Cha`Dak says:
@COM: Apache: Commander Storal, please respond.

Host CO_Tyler-Turnbull says:
::nods:: CSO: Yes, thank you.  ::points to one near the bottom:: This one should be hand delivered to Ambassador Brian Turnbull, he has a personal courier that will pick it up once you contact him.

OPS_Edgemoor says:
CSO: I have a COM for you, from Chief Cha`Dak.

CNS_Vekh says:
@Self: Oreh Dash! ::conceals his surprise::

EO_Powers says:
CMO: That's strange. There is an unusual entry in the power distribution logs here. The power was briefly transferred through the ODN Network in that corridor to another part of the ship.

CSO_Storal says:
CO: Aye sir. I'll make sure of it. If there isn’t anything else, I’ll be leaving now.

CSO_Storal says:
COM: CTO: Storal here. Go ahead, Mister Cha`Dak.

CNS_Vekh says:
@::introduces himself:: Dash: I'm Commander Vekh of the Apache. Are we ready to beam up?

Host Judge_Anderson says:
@::grips Dash's arm firmly above the elbow:: CNS: We're already moving his Lieutenant's. ::waves a new Judge forward who roughly grabs hold of Omin Rego.

CIV_Lu says:
CO: I don't think it is wise to just have the Risealans guard their prisoners. We should have our own people present too.

CSO_Storal says:
OPS: Thank  you, Lieutenant.

SO_Hammond says:
::varies his scanning pattern and checks the area again::

Host CO_Tyler-Turnbull says:
CSO:  Of course Commander, have a safe journey and be sure to take some personal time ... you deserve the rest.

OPS_Edgemoor says:
::nods to the Commander::

CMO_Naegle says:
EO: That is weird. ::suddenly remembers something that has nothing to do with the current problem:: EO: Oh no!  I was supposed to meet our new Operations Officer in sickbay! I'll leave you to this dilemma. You'll figure it out. Got to run... ::bolts out of Main Engineering::

CTO_Cha`Dak says:
@COM: Apache: Status report, Commander. We are about to greet Omin Rego and his lieutenants. We are currently under heavily armed security.

Host Col_Dathom says:
@::arrives at the transfer area and hears the judges bringing forward a handful of Lieutenants ... each is scanned intensely before a Judge hands them off to a pair of Marines.

CNS_Vekh says:
@Anderson: Is all this necessary, Judge Anderson? I don't see how these unarmed men can pose a threat to anyone. ::faces Anderson::

CMO_Naegle says:
::runs to a turbolift:: TL: Deck 9, Sickbay!

Host CO_Tyler-Turnbull says:
CIV:  That is the purpose of the security measures that Engineering and Tactical are putting in place.  Once the Risealans are on board, Commander Cha`Dak and his security teams will be working with the Risealans.

EO_Powers says:
::attempts to find the reason for the transfer::

CSO_Storal says:
COM:CTO: Acknowledged.

CMO_Naegle says:
*OPS*: Mister Edgemoor, I can see you in sickbay at your convenience.

Host Judge_Anderson says:
@::ignores Vekh, cause he knows better, and ushers the Zlibra members forward::

CIV_Lu says:
CO: I see, thank you Captain.

OPS_Edgemoor says:
COM: CTO: A security detail was expected … are you ready for beam up?

CTO_Cha`Dak says:
@::studies the Zlibra members, noticing the strengths and weaknesses of each one::

Host Omin_Rego says:
@::offers Vekh a smile as he is more or less carried past him, moving back down the corridor::

CSO_Storal says:
CO: They are making the transfer now, sir.  Thank you. May the Prophets blessings shine brightly on your path.

CNS_Vekh says:
@::following the group, close to Anderson but manages to contain himself:: Self: All this for the Prime Directive. ::in a whisper to self::

OPS_Edgemoor says:
*CMO*: Understood Doctor.

XO_Linard says:
@::goes along with the transfer and nods to Cha`Dak:: Dathom: Are we ready, Colonel?

Host CO_Tyler-Turnbull says:
::notices something in Max's demeanor:: CIV:  Max, how are you adjusting to being back on the Apache?

Host Jafo says:
ACTION: All the Zlibra members pass through the inspection by which time no less than four Judges are guarding Omin Rego.

CNS_Vekh says:
@::his face turns back to the 'standard' stern look as they exit the cell as Vekh would not give the chance of the Judge suspecting of his conversation with Omin::

Host CO_Tyler-Turnbull says:
CSO: Thank you, Commander.  OPS:  Have transporters standing by to transport the away team and our guests from the surface.

CSO_Storal says:
::heads for  the turbolift:: SO: The department is  yours, Joseph.  Good Luck.

CMO_Naegle says:
::enters sickbay again and waits for the OPS officer if he can make it::

Host Col_Dathom says:
@Hershey: As the Federation Representative to the Risealan Homeworld, I hereby take custody of these fugitives for transport to Jovian 3.

SO_Hammond says:
CSO: Thank you, sir.  Good luck to you as well.

Host Judge_Hershey says:
@Dathom: As the Risealan Representative to these proceedings, I hereby relinquish custody of these fugitives to the Federation Representative for transport to Jovian 3.

CNS_Vekh says:
@::arrives at the transfer area and nods to Cha`Dak and Linard as he stays close to Omin Rego::

CSO_Storal says:
::enters the turbolift::  Computer:  Deck three.

CIV_Lu says:
CO: Captain, slowly but surely...

OPS_Edgemoor says:
CO: The away team reports they are being escorted by armed security. Do you want to disable their weapons in transport?  We can have security standing by … I don’t feel comfortable allowing armed Risealans aboard the Apache.

Host Col_Dathom says:
@::turns to the XO:: XO: Commander ... all yours. You want my Marines to accompany you? Or do you think your Fleeter Security Officers can handle it?

CTO_Cha`Dak says:
@Dathom: I assure you we can handle it, Colonel.

CSO_Storal says:
::Storal exits the turbolift and sees Lieutenant Cervantes waiting by the entrance to the shuttlebay::

CTO_Cha`Dak says:
@::frowns, highly insulted::

CIV_Lu says:
CO: Excuse me Captain, they might need an extra hand down in the transporter rooms.

SO_Hammond says:
::goes back to reading incoming sensors for science and tactical::

SO_Cervantes says:
CSO: I brought you the material you  requested.

XO_Linard says:
@::doesn't like the word "Fleeter’s" but ignores it for now and nods:: Dathom: We can handle it, Colonel. Thank you for your offer just the same.

Host Col_Dathom says:
@::nods at Cha`Dak:: XO/CTO: Very well ... I then turn them over to you.

CNS_Vekh says:
@::thinks to himself that the Klingon would want to kill the Colonel under ordinary circumstances::

CIV_Lu says:
::briskly leaves the bridge and heads for the transporter room with a brief stop by his quarters and the armory::

EO_Powers says:
::places his bag in the CEO's office for safe keeping::

Host CO_Tyler-Turnbull says:
OPS:  Have a security team of our own join me in the transporter room...  ::thinks about the request to disable the security forces weapons::  Yes, Lieutenant, we will see that they are properly informed of weapons procedures before reactivating their weapons.

XO_Linard says:
@::nods:: COM: Apache: Linard to Apache, prepare to receive us...

EO_Powers says:
::locates the source of the power transfer::

CSO_Storal says:
Cervantes:  Thank  you, Angle.  I trust that you and the rest of the department will help Mister Hammond. ::smiles::

OPS_Edgemoor says:
CO: Transporters ready, Captain. We will need to make three separate transports.  Shall I ask them what order they want to be brought up?

Host Jafo says:
ACTION: Powers finds that the power was redirected to the transporter systems.

Host CO_Tyler-Turnbull says:
SO:  You have the bridge.  ::stands and heads for the turbolift:: TL:  Transport Room one.  ::nods to OPS::  OPS: Very well, Lieutenant.

SO_Cervantes says:
CSO: Aye sir.  Get some rest, and enjoy yourself.

SO_Hammond says:
::looks up in surprise:: CO: Aye sir…

Host CO_Tyler-Turnbull says:
::exits the lift once it stops near the transporter room and walks the short distance::

OPS_Edgemoor says:
COM: XO: Very well, it will be three separate transports.

CSO_Storal says:
::Storal nods to Angel and enters the shuttlebay:: Self:  I’m sorry, Kathleen...

EO_Powers says:
::tries to find out who transferred the power::

OPS_Edgemoor says:
*TRChief_Owen*: Disable all weapons in transport.

XO_Linard says:
@COM: OPS: Acknowledged, have security and the fugitives beamed up first.

CIV_Lu says:
::enters transporter room one with a mark four phaser rifle::

OPS_Edgemoor says:
*Security*: 2 details of 5, please meet the captain  in transporter room one.

OPS_Edgemoor says:
COM: XO: Yes sir.

EO_Powers says:
::sees that the files are encrypted so decides to go to the bridge and ask the duty officer about it::

TO_Wregget says:
*OPS*: Aye sir.

Host CO_Tyler-Turnbull says:
::awaits the transport of the Risealan group and the away team ... nods to Captain Lu as he enters, followed shortly by a small security detail::

OPS_Edgemoor says:
*CO/SEC/TR1*: The fugitives are coming up first.

EO_Powers says:
::enters the turbolift::  TL: Bridge.

XO_Linard says:
@::waits for the transport::

CSO_Storal says:
::Storal enters the shuttle and stows his gear in a locker before manning the controls::  *OPS*: Storal to Edgemoor, shuttle Demeter  requesting clearance for departure.

CIV_Lu says:
::signals the security detail to get into place::

SO_Hammond says:
::does a quick scan of the area during transport::

Host CO_Tyler-Turnbull says:
*OPS*: Understood, Lieutenant.   SEC/CIV:  Keep all weapons on stun, and remain at ease unless there is a sign of a threat.

TO_Wregget says:
::gestures for another tactical officer to accompany him to the transporter room, and heads towards the turbolift::

CIV_Lu says:
::moves next to Mister Edgemoor::

TRChief_Owen says:
All: Here they come... ::makes modifications for the weapons and beams the first party::

Host Jafo says:
ACTION: Omin Rego, Oreh Dash, and four other Lieutenants of the Zlibra dematerialize from the surface of the planet, reappearing on the Apache’s transporter pad. Omin Rego looks around the transporter room ... stumbles slightly, and collapses to the ground.

EO_Powers says:
::enters the bridge::

OPS_Edgemoor says:
CIV: Greetings sir, this should be fun eh?

CIV_Lu says:
OPS: Tell me about it... ::grins::

TRChief_Owen says:
All: Ready for next wave?

CTO_Cha`Dak says:
::dematerializes with the first group, and quickly moves forward to help Omin Rego::

SO_Hammond says:
::looks over as the Engineering Officer enters, nods to Powers::

CTO_Cha`Dak says:
*CMO*: Medical assistance required in transporter room one.

Host CO_Tyler-Turnbull says:
::steps forward as the group appears ... sees Omin Rego fall:: *CMO* Doctor Naegle you are needed in transporter room one immediately.

CTO_Cha`Dak says:
TRChief_Owen: Wait for a moment.

XO_Linard says:
@COM:OPS: Ready next beam out, Mister Edgemoor.

Host Omin_Rego says:
ACTION: Oreh Dash bends down to help Rego.

CTO_Cha`Dak says:
::is wary of Oreh as he bends down, and tenses::

EO_Powers says:
::walks over to the SO::

CMO_Naegle says:
*CTO/CO* I'm on my way. ::grabs her medical bag and rushes out of sickbay::

CSO_Storal says:
*OPS*: Shuttle Demeter requesting clearance to depart…

Host CO_Tyler-Turnbull says:
::moves to help Rego:: Omin:  Just lie still, we have a doctor on the way.

CMO_Naegle says:
::enters the turbolift in a hurry:: TL: Deck 5!

CIV_Lu says:
::covers the area::

OPS_Edgemoor says:
COM: XO: There is delay in the transporter room, it will be a moment yet...

SO_Hammond says:
EO: What can I help you with?

Host Oreh_Dash says:
::bends down to help his friend up and notices the Captain of the Apache instinctively moving closer within his reach::

EO_Powers says:
SO: Do you know anything about a power transfer to the transporters?

CNS_Vekh says:
@::on the surface, waiting his turn to beam up::

OPS_Edgemoor says:
*CSO*: You're cleared to depart, Commander. Have a good trip.

XO_Linard says:
@COM:OPS: Acknowledged, Lieutenant. Standing by.

CTO_Cha`Dak says:
::steps away from Omin, signaling for the other Zlibra to step off the Transporter pad::

SO_Hammond says:
EO: No, but let’s see what we can find out.

CMO_Naegle says:
::exits the turbolift at deck 5 and hurries to the transporter room… spots Omin Rego on the floor:: CTO/CO: What happened?

CTO_Cha`Dak says:
Oreh: Please step off the transporter pad.

OPS_Edgemoor says:
*CO/TRChief*: Is there a problem? The XO is ready on the surface.

Host Jafo says:
ACTION: Dash helps Omin up, and supports him as all the Zlibra members move off the transporter pad at Cha`Dak’s signal.

SO_Hammond says:
::moves over to the center chair and begins checking power transfers::

CSO_Storal says:
%*OPS*: Acknowledged Lieutenant. ::waits for the shuttlebay doors to open and then flies the shuttle out::

Host CO_Tyler-Turnbull says:
::bends down to check on Rego:: Omin/Oreh:  It may simply be from not being used to the transporters.  However, I would like to have Doctor Naegle check you out to be sure.

Host Judge_Hershey says:
@::glances at Linard:: XO: This seems to be taking an awfully long time...

XO_Linard says:
@::nods at Hershey in acknowledgement:: COM:OPS: Is everything okay up there?

CMO_Naegle says:
::pulls out her tricorder and kneels by Omin's side: Omin: Lie still sir, this won't take long.

EO_Powers says:
SO: If you check the power distribution logs for just after I docked … in the corridor leaving the shuttlebay there was a serious power surge.

Host Oreh_Dash says:
::hesitantly:: CO: I'm sure he'll be fine, Captain ... he was just overwhelmed, it happens.

CSO_Storal says:
::Storal looks out the viewport and wonders if this is the last time  he  will  see the Apache, and enters warp::

Host CO_Tyler-Turnbull says:
*OPS*:  The transporter pad is clear, you may continue to transport the remainder of the Away team.

SO_Hammond says:
::checks the time in question::

CMO_Naegle says:
::runs her tricorder over Omin Rego:: CO: Can you tell me what happened?

Host Oreh_Dash says:
::reluctantly eases Omin Rego back down to the floor:: CMO/CO: He will be fine ... he just needs rest.

Host CO_Tyler-Turnbull says:
::nods:: Dash:  I'm sure he will be fine, this is just for precaution.  We have quarters set up for you and he will be able to rest there.

OPS_Edgemoor says:
COM: XO: Sorry for the delay, Commander. We’re ready for the next group now.

XO_Linard says:
@COM: OPS: Acknowledged Lieutenant, proceed.

Host Jafo says:
ACTION: Doctor Naegle's tricorder detects nothing the matter with Rego, though there is a slight abnormality that isn't immediately recognizable to her trained eye.

EO_Powers says:
::points out the transfer::

Host CO_Tyler-Turnbull says:
CMO: Our guest collapsed upon completion of transport.

SO_Hammond says:
EO: Now the question is who did it, and why.  Lets see if we can find out.

Host Oreh_Dash says:
::nods ... steps back away from them slowly, moving towards the other gathered Zlibra members::

TRChief_Owen says:
All: Here comes the second group, everyone. ::does his magic::

SO_Hammond says:
::tries to find where the transfer originated first::

CTO_Cha`Dak says:
Zlibra Members: If you will follow me, I will show you to your quarters.

CTO_Cha`Dak says:
Oreh Dash: Mister Rego will be fine, sir.

Host Jafo says:
ACTION: Judge Hershey, dematerializes from the planet along with her two bodyguards and Mister Knoxville and Mister Verall.

CMO_Naegle says:
::notices the abnormality:: CO: Thank you, Captain.  There's nothing essentially wrong with Mister Rego, but there is an abnormality that I’ll need to check out. It requires further study.  I'll need Mister Rego to come to sickbay with me.

TO_Verall says:
::materializes in transporter room one and steps off the pad::

Host Oreh_Dash says:
::stands with his cell members:: CTO: We won't leave without Omin!

Host CO_Tyler-Turnbull says:
::leaves Rego with Naegle and joins Dash and the others:: Dash:  I'm Captain Turnbull, and I would like to welcome you to the Apache.  Commander Cha`Dak and his team will escort you to your quarters.

Host Jafo says:
ACTION: Mister Hammond is able to track the transfer from a console in Fort Apache.

CMO_Naegle says:
::stands up at Dash's comment::

SO_Hammond says:
EO: I don't like this.  The transfer started in Fort Apache.

CMO_Naegle says:
Omin Rego: Can you stand up, sir?

Host Judge_Hershey says:
::materializes on the Apache and is immediately startled to see Omin Rego loose, laying on the floor and Oreh Dash standing nearby relatively unguarded. Draws her Peacemaker and takes aim on Dash, the most immediately threat, as her bodyguards do the same:: All: What's going on!

EO_Powers says:
SO: Why would anyone conduct an energy transfer from Fort Apache?

CTO_Cha`Dak says:
::draws his phaser, aiming at Judge Hershey::

SO_Hammond says:
::tries to find out who accessed the console::

Host CO_Tyler-Turnbull says:
::nods:: Dash:  I understand your concern, he should be fine to join you.  ::turns to Commander Cha`Dak::  CTO:  Would you have two of your men assist Mister Rego and the others to their quarters.

SO_Hammond says:
EO: That's what I don't like.  Let's hope we can figure it out soon.

TO_Verall says:
::draws his phaser, aiming at Anderson::

TRChief_Owen says:
Hershey: Your weapons have been disabled for safety … you might as well stow that.

CIV_Lu says:
::aims his sight at Hershey's forehead turning on the laser sight::

CMO_Naegle says:
::looks around at the slowly deteriorating situation.

TO_Knoxville says:
::aims at the third Judge with his phaser::

CIV_Lu says:
::sees the red dot on her forehead::

TRChief_Owen says:
::looks at the tactical officers::

Host Judge_Hershey says:
::looks from Dash to the Transporter Chief, and back ... not sure to believe him:: Dash: Up against the wall, Dash!

Host CO_Tyler-Turnbull says:
::turns to Judge Hershey as she shouts:: Hershey:  Omin Rego collapsed upon completion of transport, we have had him checked out by our chief medical officer and are preparing to move this group to their quarters.

XO_Linard says:
@::looks to the CNS:: CNS: I hope everything is okay up there.

Host Oreh_Dash says:
::immediately does as she says, along with all the Zlibra members, moving to the walls of the transporter room and prostrating themselves::

SO_Hammond says:
Self: Encrypted eh? Let’s see if we can break it.  EO: See if the cameras were on in the Fort.  Maybe we'll have a recording of them.

CIV_Lu says:
::self what in the world::

Host Judge_Hershey says:
::growls:: CO: I should have expected such shoddy protection from the Federation ... your men haven't secured these prisoners yet! Don't you know, Rego's collapse could have been a ploy. Your security leaves something to be desired, Captain.

EO_Powers says:
::watches the SO work::

Host CO_Tyler-Turnbull says:
::watches Hershey:: Hershey:  Our transporter chief is correct.  All weapons have been deactivated during transport.  They will be reactivated only upon the understanding that stun settings only are to be used.

CTO_Cha`Dak says:
::glances from the Zlibra members prostrated against the wall to Judge Hershey::

CNS_Vekh says:
@XO: So do I, Commander. However some say Orion’s get a sixth sense for trouble. And I just learned of some very interesting things from Mister Rego.

XO_Linard says:
@CNS: Care to fill me in Commander?

Host Judge_Hershey says:
::hmph:: CO: We'll see about that! ::points her Peacemaker at Oreh Dash and pulls the trigger::

CMO_Naegle says:
::rolls her eyes at the Judge's comments.  Hershey: Excuse me, your Honor, but would you like to look at Omin Rego's scan?

OPS_Edgemoor says:
*TO/CO*: Quarters were arranged on deck ten, section gamma, for our guests.

Host Judge_Hershey says:
::is genuinely surprised when nothing happens:: CO: Interesting ... technology.

SO_Hammond says:
::looks up at the Engineer:: EO: Check the camera files while I try and break the encryption.

CNS_Vekh says:
@::looks from side to side, making sure Judges are out of earshot:: XO: He told me of what he calls 'reservations' operating throughout the southern hemisphere. They seem to be detention centers for the Risealians - little more than concentration camps.

EO_Powers says:
SO: Okay… ::checks the camera logs::

Host CO_Tyler-Turnbull says:
Hershey: Understanding the strict security that you are familiar with, I can see your doubts.  However, I assure you that not one of them could have gotten past the security team that is guarding the door.
