Star Trek: Apache - Episode #14
Week # 10
Mission: "Independence"

Host Jafo says:
With the Apache crew beginning their cleanup of Main Engineering, Doctor Naegle has beamed the disintegrated bodies of the "Judges" to the ship's morgue for an autopsy. Suspecting that the Apache was still under enemy control, the USS Greenland began an attack designed at bringing down the Apache's shields.

Host Jafo says:
The remaining Judge, Judge Hershey, has been taken to the Captain's Ready Room for questioning. It was clear to the Betazoid Executive Officer that every answer the Judge gave was a lie, and when pushed the Judge assaulted the crew with a psionic energy wave capable of flooding their minds with intense emotion.

Host Jafo says:
This is the strongest use of Riseal mental abilities to date. Incapacitated, and protected only by the weaker mental abilities of Omin Rego, the bridge crew could do little to stop Judge Hershey as she left the bridge and headed for Main Engineering.

Host Jafo says:
A trail of mentally agonized officers was left in her wake as she headed for the power center of the Apache bent on destroying the ship. Ejecting the core, Chief Engineer Yeung narrowly averted a disaster and with the loss of her goal, and significantly weakened by the use of her mental abilities, Judge Hershey has been subdued by the Engineers on duty.

FCO_Terman says:
::straightens his shirt:: Self: Off to work.

CSO_Storal says:
*SO*: Has the doctor cleared you for duty?

Host TRChief_Owen says:
::glances up from his transporter console:: FCO: You must be our new stick jockey?

CNS_Vekh says:
::strides into sickbay and spots the doctor:: CMO: Have a minute, Doctor?

XO_Linard says:
::taps her combadge:: *CTO*: Thank you Mister Cha`Dak ... have him come to my office to report in.

CTO_Cha`Dak says:
*XO*: Aye sir.

SO_Hammond says:
*CSO*: I was just about to head down there and get cleared, sir.

CSO_Storal says:
*SO*: Acknowledged.

Host CO_Tyler-Turnbull says:
::looks up from the PADD that she was reading and turns toward Kylorean:: CSO: Commander, how are the diagnostics coming on the science systems?

FCO_Terman says:
Chief: More or less. I need to go now, bye. ::heads to the nearest turbolift::

CMO_Naegle says:
::looks up and sees Vekh enters:: CNS: For you, always Counselor. Come into my office ::gestures the way::

Host TRChief_Owen says:
FCO: But... ::watches the FCO rush out:: ...you don't know where you are going.

CTO_Cha`Dak says:
*FCO*: Ensign Terman, you are to report to Commander Linard in her office, immediately.

CSO_Storal says:
CO: Until we get to back to Starbase 366, and do a full systems check, I can’t say if there’s any hidden damage. But, as it stands, everything is in the green.

XO_Linard says:
::feels another headache coming on and wonders about stopping by sickbay for another dose of aspirin::

CNS_Vekh says:
::follows the CMO's lead into her office and speaks after the doors closing behind him:: CMO: I just wanted to come and apologize for being so blunt with you during the latest crisis in Main Engineering, Doctor.

FCO_Terman says:
::realizes that he isn't quite sure where the Commander’s office is:: Computer: Where is Commander Linard's office?

SO_Hammond says:
::looks over at Mongo:: Mongo: Try and not damage too much today. ::heads out for the nearest turbolift::

Host Computer says:
FCO: Commander Kathleen Linard's office is on deck 2, section 319.

XO_Linard says:
::closes her eyes and rubs her forehead::

CSO_Storal says:
CO: Estimated time to the Riseal homeworld ... four hours, sir.

Host CO_Tyler-Turnbull says:
::nods:: CSO: Thank you, Commander.

FCO_Terman says:
TL: Take me to Deck 2...

CMO_Naegle says:
::smiles:: CNS: It's okay, Drayan. I know you were under a lot of stress down there.

CNS_Vekh says:
CMO: Whether or not was I under the effects of Judge Hershey’s psionic blast, in retrospect, I felt I was a bit too harsh with you back then.

SO_Hammond says:
TL: Sickbay… ::starts to hum as the turbolift moves::

Host Jafo says:
ACTION: The FCO's Turbolift stops on deck 4...

Host CO_Tyler-Turnbull says:
::leans back with a sigh:: CSO: Good, maybe we can find the answers we're looking for and get everything settled quickly.

Host Jaxlt_Burta says:
::sees the turbolift stop and the doors slide open ... eyes the new officer:: FCO: You must be new here!

CMO_Naegle says:
CNS: Well, you needed my help and I questioned why. So I'm as much to blame as you are.

FCO_Terman says:
Jaxlt: Yes I am.

Host Jaxlt_Burta says:
::shuffles forward, squeezing himself into the turbolift:: FCO: Make room, Ensign...

CSO_Storal says:
CO: Agreed. With what we witnessed, they have a lot of explaining to do.

CNS_Vekh says:
CMO: Thank you for your understanding, Doctor. I think the kind of events we experienced lately was somewhat beyond anyone expectations. I just wanted to have everything straight between us.

Host Jaxlt_Burta says:
::pins the FCO to the wall, squeezing himself into the lift:: FCO: I'm Jaxlt Burta ... I run Fort Apache. Stop by some time and we can get to know each other. TL: Deck 2...

SO_Hammond says:
::exits the turbolift and looks around for the Doctor Naegle::

Host CO_Tyler-Turnbull says:
CSO: I don't understand how the team that made first contact missed so much of what we've encountered ... and I can't help wondering what Dathom had to gain by helping the Judges.

CTO_Cha`Dak says:
::thinks about eating a live Vor’cha bird::

FCO_Terman says:
::gasps for breath::

CNS_Vekh says:
CMO: Speaking of which, how's Mister Edgemoor doing after the attack on Main Engineering?

Host Jafo says:
ACTION: The turbolift shoots up a few more decks and deposits Jax and Terman on deck 2.

CMO_Naegle says:
::holds out her hand to shake the Orion's hand:: CNS: I think it is, Counselor.

Host Jaxlt_Burta says:
::steps out of the turbolift and clomps on down the corridor:: FCO: Nice meeting you, Ensign...

CSO_Storal says:
CO: Well, perhaps they implanted the vision of what the observation team wanted to see.

FCO_Terman says:
::rushes off to find Commander Kathleen Linard’s office::

Host CO_Tyler-Turnbull says:
CSO: After everything we've seen, I wouldn't doubt it.

CSO_Storal says:
CO:I don’t know about Dathom, sir. I wish I could have had a chance to talk to him.

XO_Linard says:
::waits for the new FCO before heading for the bridge::

CNS_Vekh says:
::accepts Janet's hand and shakes it:: CMO: Good that we understand ourselves. ::smiles just a bit::

CMO_Naegle says:
::looks a bit concerned:: CNS: He's still in a coma. You can come and take a look at his vitals if you'd like. Maybe you will see something that I'm missing.

FCO_Terman says:
::reaches the XO's office and straightens his duty jacket::

SO_Hammond says:
::walks over to the CMO's office::

FCO_Terman says:
::enters the XO's office::

XO_Linard says:
::looks up as the FCO enters … is a little startled at his entrance::

CNS_Vekh says:
::follows the Doctor out of her office:: CMO: I'd be glad to help, Doctor. But I'm afraid I lack the medical competence you usually demonstrate. ::spots Mister Hammond:: SO: Greetings, Mister Hammond.

CEO_Yeung says:
::reviews current list of supplies while waiting on the diagnostics::

XO_Linard says:
FCO: Ensign! It's good to ... meet you. ::stands and extends her hand::

SO_Hammond says:
CNS/CMO: Hello sirs, how's everything going?

FCO_Terman says:
XO: FCO Terman, reporting for duty sir. ::shakes the XO's hand::

CMO_Naegle says:
::sees the SO and answers the CNS:: CNS: All right, thanks anyway.

CSO_Storal says:
*CEO*: What’s the status of Main Engineering?

CMO_Naegle says:
SO: How are you doing today, Lieutenant?

XO_Linard says:
::smiles widely:: FCO: Good to have you aboard. I've been reading your record, I know you'll be just what we need.

SO_Hammond says:
CMO: Not bad. I came to get cleared back to duty.

CNS_Vekh says:
CMO: I'll let you to your patients then, Doctor Naegle. ::nods to Hammond and turn to the exit doors::

FCO_Terman says:
XO: I hope so.

CEO_Yeung says:
*CSO*: Essential systems are repaired. We'll need to resupply back at 366 though, but we're good to go now.

CMO_Naegle says:
SO: Ah, okay. Well let me get out my tricorder... ::nods to the CNS::

Host Jafo says:
ACTION: The Apache continues on course towards the Riseal Homeworld, escorted by the USS Greenland.

CMO_Naegle says:
::gets out her tricorder and begins to examine Mister Hammond::

XO_Linard says:
::nods:: FCO: I'm just heading to the bridge. Would you care to join me and meet the Captain?

CSO_Storal says:
*CEO*: Excellent Jon, you’re becoming a regular miracle worker down there. ::chuckles::

Host CO_Tyler-Turnbull says:
::nods:: CSO: Same here, especially knowing that he worked with the Judges to set up the Zlibra and we were told that he was a Zlibra sympathizer... ::pauses for a moment:: CSO: You have the bridge. I'm going down to speak with Omin Rego. Contact me when we reach Riseal.

CNS_Vekh says:
::takes the nearest turbolift to the bridge::

FCO_Terman says:
XO: Certainly. ::nods::

CEO_Yeung says:
*CSO*: I don't have much of a choice, Ky. ::chuckles::

CSO_Storal says:
CO: Aye sir … should I have Mister Vekh meet you?

XO_Linard says:
::motions to the door:: FCO: After you... ::exits the room with the FCO::

Host CO_Tyler-Turnbull says:
::stands and walks to the turbolift:: TL: VIP Quarters. CSO: Yes, Commander, good idea.

CMO_Naegle says:
SO: Well, you seem to have recovered nicely. The plasma burns are healed. So yes, I will clear you for duty. I'll notify Commander Storal.

FCO_Terman says:
::heads out, hoping that what the XO says is true::

CSO_Storal says:
*CNS* : Storal to Vekh, please meet the Captain at Omin Rego's VIP Quarters.

SO_Hammond says:
CMO: Thanks Doc, I'll try and remain in one piece for more than a day.

CNS_Vekh says:
::the turbolift stops and doors open to welcome the XO and ... a new face:: XO/FCO: Greetings.

CMO_Naegle says:
::chuckles:: SO: You do that, Son. Now go on!

TO_Verall says:
::hurries down the corridor and bumps into Terman:: FCO: Oh, excuse me sir... ::glances at Linard:: XO: Commander.

XO_Linard says:
FCO: So, you just transferred here from the Nighthawk, I take it... ::enters the turbolift::

XO_Linard says:
::raises her hand, jumping slightly:: TO: It's okay, Mister Verall. What's the hurry?

FCO_Terman says:
XO: Yes, a very fine ship.

TO_Verall says:
::sighs frustratedly:: XO: Oh, Commander Cha`Dak has us running all over the ship with drills.

XO_Linard says:
CNS: Commander, this is our new FCO, Ensign Terman.

TO_Verall says:
::steps into the turbolift with the XO, CNS, and FCO::

Host CO_Tyler-Turnbull says:
::steps out of the turbolift and walks the short distance to Omin Rego's quarters::

CMO_Naegle says:
::turns around as Hammond leaves::

SO_Hammond says:
::enters the turbolift:: TL: Bridge…

CNS_Vekh says:
::nods to the ensign:: FCO: Greetings Mister Terman, welcome aboard the Apache.

Host Omin_Rego says:
::senses the CO approaching:: CO: Come in, Tyria...

CNS_Vekh says:
::extends his hand to the ensign::

CMO_Naegle says:
*CSO* Sickbay to Storal…

XO_Linard says:
FCO: I understand how it can be to leave friends behind. I transferred from the USS Hayden a little over a year ago. I had been there for quite a while.

CTO_Cha`Dak says:
::scans the Apache’s trajectory towards Riseal for any other vessels::

CSO_Storal says:
::paces the bridge:: Self: What has the Federation gotten themselves into this time…

FCO_Terman says:
XO: A little small for me, but a fine ship nonetheless. CNS: Greetings...

CSO_Storal says:
::taps his combadge:: *CMO*: Storal here, go ahead Doctor.

CNS_Vekh says:
::gets a communiqué from Storal:: *CSO*: I'm on my way, Commander.

CMO_Naegle says:
*CSO*: I've just cleared Lieutenant Hammond for full duty, Commander. Just wanted to let you know.

FCO_Terman says:
XO: Mmm, indeed, I'm actually glad I was only on for the short time that I was, for that reason.

XO_Linard says:
::waits for the turbolift to open on the bridge::

Host Jafo says:
ACTION: The turbolift arrives at the bridge and deposits the officers there. Verall stays in and heads for the brig.

CSO_Storal says:
*CMO*: Thank you, Doctor.

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

CMO_Naegle says:
*CSO*: You're welcome, Sickbay out.

SO_Hammond says:
*CSO*: I'm almost there, sir.

XO_Linard says:
::enters the bridge and sees the CSO:: CSO: Report, Commander.

Host FCO_V`Taran says:
::glances up as a new face appears on the bridge, notes the red uniform and presumes this is the new FCO he'd heard so much about::

CNS_Vekh says:
::after stopping by the bridge the turbolift is rerouted to the CO's VIP quarters::

Host CO_Tyler-Turnbull says:
::starts to press the chime and is surprised when Rego calls for her to enter ... enters as the doors slide open:: Rego: Greetings, Mister Rego.

CSO_Storal says:
::looks at the XO:: Self: Not now.  XO: We are enroute to Riseal ... all departments have checked in.

FCO_Terman says:
::looks around at the bridge, thinking I'm going to fly this baby::

XO_Linard says:
::nods:: CSO: Where is the Captain?

CSO_Storal says:
XO: Captain Tyler is meeting with Omin Rego. Along with Mister Vekh.

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

Host Omin_Rego says:
::looks up from the PADD he is reading:: CO: Your Mister Vekh was kind enough to offer me a sampling of Terran classics ... I was just reading Moby Dick.

CTO_Cha`Dak says:
::glares at the FCO, trying to determine whether he could hold himself in battle::

XO_Linard says:
::nods:: CSO: This is our new FCO ... Ensign Terman. FCO: Mister Terman, meet our Second Officer, Command Storal.

CNS_Vekh says:
::exits on deck four and heads for Omin Rego’s assigned quarters::

FCO_Terman says:
::notices the CTO's glare and matches it with almost equal intensity for about two seconds, then breaks out in a grin::

CSO_Storal says:
::bows his head slightly:: FCO: Welcome aboard Mister Terman.

Host Omin_Rego says:
::senses Mister Vekh approaching:: CNS: Come in, Drayan...

Host CO_Tyler-Turnbull says:
Rego: I want to apologize for the way you were treated when we recaptured Reg's freighter.

FCO_Terman says:
CSO: I'm honored to be here.

CMO_Naegle says:
::walks over to check on Mister Edgemoor one more time:: Self: No change here.

CSO_Storal says:
FCO: Please take your post.

Host Omin_Rego says:
::waves a hand:: CO: It is of no concern, Captain ... I did, after all, attempt to escape your capture. It was understandable.

FCO_Terman says:
::walks over the flight pit and motions for V’Taran to let him take over::

XO_Linard says:
::turns and takes the Captain's seat ... checking her console::

Host FCO_V`Taran says:
::stands from the Flight Console and allows the FCO to sit:: FCO: I stand relieved...

SO_Hammond says:
CSO: Reporting in, sir.

CNS_Vekh says:
::door opens and he enters:: CO/Rego: Greetings Mister Rego, Captain. ::nods:: CO: Commander Storal suggested I join you.

CSO_Storal says:
::walks back over to science one:: SO: Mister Hammond … looking a bit tan are we. ::chuckles::

FCO_Terman says:
::looks over the various features and controls, finding them all similar to the Nighthawks::

SO_Hammond says:
::chuckles:: CSO: I look better now. Before I looked extra crispy.

Host Omin_Rego says:
::smiles at the Orion:: CNS: Oh, you are quite welcome here Drayan. Whether Mister Storal has given his okay or not.

XO_Linard says:
FCO: ETA to Riseal, Mister Terman?

Host CO_Tyler-Turnbull says:
::nods to Rego, then turns to Vekh:: CNS: Yes, I thought we would ask Omin a few more questions about Colonel Dathom before we reach Riseal.

Host FCO_V`Taran says:
::stands beside the FCO waiting to be dismissed:: FCO: Was there something you needed, sir?

CMO_Naegle says:
::exits Sickbay and enters the turbolift::

CSO_Storal says:
SO: So now you are just the original recipe then. ::chuckles:: I need your help with the planetary scans of Riseal.

CMO_Naegle says:
TL: Bridge!

CTO_Cha`Dak says:
FCO: Ensign. Please review these tactical maneuvers and enter corresponding flight commands.

SO_Hammond says:
::laughs:: CSO: Where did you want me to start?

CTO_Cha`Dak says:
::sends the tactical information to the flight control console::

Host CO_Tyler-Turnbull says:
Omin: I hope you don't mind answering a few more questions about all of this.

FCO_Terman says:
XO: ETA is three hours, sir. ::Notices that V'Taran hasn't left:: V’Taran: No, you are relived.

XO_Linard says:
FCO: Acknowledged.

Host Omin_Rego says:
::bows slightly to Terman:: FCO: Of course, sir. ::walks towards the turbolift::

CMO_Naegle says:
::exits the turbolift at the bridge and goes straight over to the XO::

XO_Linard says:
::sits back in her seat and reads a few more reports::

CSO_Storal says:
SO: Well I want you to start going over the northern and southern hemispheres ... maybe we can come up with something that we missed.

CMO_Naegle says:
XO: Hello Commander, I'm just coming up here to see if you need anything.

Host Omin_Rego says:
::nods and waves a hand for both the CO and CNS to have a seat:: CO: Not at all, Tyria...

XO_Linard says:
::is engrossed in reading and doesn't hear the CMO approach::

SO_Hammond says:
CSO: I'll get right on it, sir.

CNS_Vekh says:
::attending the CO's indication, takes a seat himself::

XO_Linard says:
::snaps her head up:: CMO: Doctor? Oh, I didn't hear you coming. I'm okay, thank you.

CSO_Storal says:
::glances at the XO for a moment then turns away:: SO: Look for increased power levels, etc.

CMO_Naegle says:
::chuckles:: XO: Sorry Commander, I didn't mean to startle you. Next time I'll call first. You sure you're okay?

Host Omin_Rego says:
::holds a hand to his forehead:: CO/CNS: I wish these migraines would go away ... would Doctor Naegle be able to join us?

XO_Linard says:
::smiles:: CMO: I'll live Doctor, thanks. Don't worry, I'll let you know if I need anything else.

CTO_Cha`Dak says:
::thinks about biting D'Layna::

FCO_Terman says:
::accidentally overhears the CTO's thoughts and frowns::

Host CO_Tyler-Turnbull says:
::smiles as she sits down ... thinks of something:: Omin: Of course, I was just about to suggest the same thing... *CMO*: Doctor, could you join us in Omin Rego's quarters?

SO_Hammond says:
CSO: I'll see what I can find. ::heads over to the auxiliary console and begins a complete scan of Riseal::

CNS_Vekh says:
::worries about Omin's health status:: Omin: She's only a call away, Omin. Are these migraines related to your psionic abilities?

CSO_Storal says:
SO: Concentrate on the northern hemisphere … I’ll cover the southern.

Host CO_Tyler-Turnbull says:
*CMO*: And could you bring a medkit, Mister Rego is still suffering from a migraine.

Host Omin_Rego says:
::glances at the CNS:: CNS: Why ... I don't know, I never really thought of that. They come and go ... usually don't bother me too much.

CSO_Storal says:
::brings up Riseal on the ships sensors and begins to go over the southern hemisphere::

SO_Hammond says:
::begins his scans of the northern hemisphere::

Host CO_Tyler-Turnbull says:
Omin: The Judges told us that Colonel Dathom was a supporter of the Zlibra's cause. Did you know that he was also working with the Judges?

CTO_Cha`Dak says:
::continues to monitor the USS Greenland’s ship activity::

Host Jafo says:
ACTION: As they examine the southern hemisphere, the Science team finds much the same as the previous scans ... large tracts of land set aside for crop production with local communal farms tending them throughout most of the area. There are also several sites of small city centers where the populace is much more compact.

CNS_Vekh says:
Omin: That's something that would require an investigation. I wonder if the power level demonstrated by Hershey is common among all Risealans.

CSO_Storal says:
SO: Concentrate on the dilithium deposits, I have a hunch.

CEO_Yeung says:
::walks about engineering, inspecting the little details::

Host Omin_Rego says:
::waves a hand at the CNS:: CNS: No ... it's quite uncommon. The Judges are the strongest telepaths among the Risealans, often selected at birth for their abilities. It is fairly rare for one to be as strong as Hershey. CO: I knew Dathom fairly well ... we'd met socially on a few occasions and spoken to each other privately now and again.

XO_Linard says:
CSO/SO: Have you found anything different about Riseal this time around?

CSO_Storal says:
XO: No sir, I haven’t detected anything yet.

Host Omin_Rego says:
CO: He was a good officer, and a good marine ... not terribly friendly, but with strong convictions. Dathom didn't believe that the Federation should be involved with Riseal. I'm forced to say that I felt much the same way.

SO_Hammond says:
CSO: Got it sir. ::looks for the dilithium and increases the scans of those areas::

CTO_Cha`Dak says:
*TO Verall*: Report, Lieutenant!

Host Jafo says:
ACTION: As the science team scans the northern hemisphere, they find again much the same as before. The city centers are much more common and much larger. Spaceports dot the land in the biggest of cities. In the mountain areas the dilithium deposits are quite large and deep under the strata.

CSO_Storal says:
*CEO*: Jon, I’m getting a slight power differential from the port array. Can you take a look.

Host CO_Tyler-Turnbull says:
::nods understandingly him:: Omin: I understand that, and from all that has happened since the Federation team was discovered there, I can't help but feel you are right.

Host CO_Tyler-Turnbull says:
Omin: Do you think that may be why Dathom chose to work with the Judges to further incriminate the Zlibra?

CSO_Storal says:
*CEO*: It’s causing the resolution from the array to dull.

CEO_Yeung says:
*CSO*: Sure Commander… ::walks over to a console and brings up diagnostic on the port array::

SO_Hammond says:
CSO: So far, nothing new sir.

TO_Verall says:
*CTO*: Sir, I’m currently in the brig … everything's in order here, sir.

FCO_Terman says:
::studies various statistics on the power output that the Apache can hold::

Host Omin_Rego says:
::nods:: CO: Yes, I fear that Hershey ... and others like her ... are so anxious to take advantage of the advances the Federation brings that they have lost site of our own world. We need to get back to the land, I think. We need to concentrate more on ourselves and less on the galactic stage.

CSO_Storal says:
*CEO*: Most likely it’s due to the hard boot. Log it in the repair requests when we get back to Starbase 366.

CEO_Yeung says:
*CSO*: That's what it looks like. I'll note it and keep an eye on it.

Host Omin_Rego says:
::thinks:: CO: I am surprised that Dathom became involved with the Judges ... he didn't get along very well with them. However, I imagine he would offer them his support if he felt their actions could result in the withdrawal of Federation support to Riseal.

XO_Linard says:
::rubs her forehead, feeling her headache getting a little stronger … wishes she had a mug of Vulcan Spice Tea::

CSO_Storal says:
*CEO*: I’m sure there are other bugs in the system.

CTO_Cha`Dak says:
XO: Sir, what are our plans in relation to Reg?

CEO_Yeung says:
::notes the port array and begins a scan on other systems possibly affected by the boot::

CNS_Vekh says:
::mostly agrees with Omin's reasoning, but refrains from commenting at this time::

XO_Linard says:
CTO: I think we will keep him in custody for now. Where do you have him confined?

Host Jafo says:
ACTION: While examining the flight control systems of the Apache, Mister Terman comes across an anomaly. On the shuttlebay manifest there is a vessel listed that is not accounted for on the most recent scans.

CTO_Cha`Dak says:
XO: Reg is currently confined to the brig, sir.

XO_Linard says:
FCO: Everything going okay Mister Terman?

Host CO_Tyler-Turnbull says:
::nods:: Omin: And by supporting the Judges attempt to attack their own and blame the Zlibra for it, he may have thought that the Federation would withdraw leaving Risealans to themselves.

FCO_Terman says:
XO: Yes sir ... but ... how many shuttles do we have?

CNS_Vekh says:
CO: This is a very sensitive situation, Captain. Either Federation presence on Riseal or our withdrawal seems a not entirely adequate solution as it is now.

XO_Linard says:
CTO: I'm wondering if he'll prove to be very much more of a nuisance. What are your thoughts on the matter?

SO_Hammond says:
::compares the population levels from the last time they were here::

CSO_Storal says:
SO: Report any bugs you come across to Commander Yeung. I’ve already found one ... there are most likely more.

CEO_Yeung says:
*CSO*: Looks like that boot didn't go so smoothly. Computer response is a second or two slower than usual, some data clusters are corrupted ... nothing serious, but we'll need to dock to clean out the bugs.

Host CO_Tyler-Turnbull says:
CNS: I agree, Commander. Neither solution would be easy.

XO_Linard says:
FCO: Quite a number ... thirty, I believe.

CTO_Cha`Dak says:
XO: His actions in collaborating with Omin Rego in his escape attempt are not to be taken lightly. He is also responsible for causing damage to Federation property. I suggest we hand him over to Starfleet Security upon our return to Starbase 366.

SO_Hammond says:
::nods at the CSO and continues to read incoming sensor reports::

CSO_Storal says:
*CEO*: That’s what I figured. We probably fried some of the isolinear chips as well.

FCO_Terman says:
XO: I believe we may have an intruder then, sir.

Host CO_Tyler-Turnbull says:
Omin: Is there anything else that we should know before we speak to the officials there?

Host Omin_Rego says:
::nods as they each speak:: CNS/CO: Should you recommend the withdrawal of Federation forces from Riseal ... it could be very bad for my people. We would be blamed for the loss of your technological advancements. Thousands would be rounded up and sent to the reservations.

XO_Linard says:
CTO: Noted. Keep him in the brig for now. I'll let you know what to do with him once we reach Starbase 366.

CTO_Cha`Dak says:
XO: Aye sir.

XO_Linard says:
FCO: Elaborate Ensign. ::sits up in her seat::

CTO_Cha`Dak says:
::pays attention to what the FCO has to say::

CEO_Yeung says:
*CSO*: We've got some spares. I'll replace the damaged ones. I may need to shut down some minor systems while doing so.

Host CO_Tyler-Turnbull says:
Omin: Did these concentration camps exist before the Federation forces came to Riseal?

FCO_Terman says:
XO: A small one-man freighter of unknown origin is listed on the manifest for Shuttlebay One, but it is not registered appropriately.

CSO_Storal says:
*CEO*: Agreed. Have your teams go through and see what you can turn up, if its major then save it for the Starbase.

CEO_Yeung says:
::heads over to the supply room and gathers up some spare isolinear chips::

XO_Linard says:
::smiles:: FCO: That would be the ship belonging to our guest in the brig, Ensign.

Host Omin_Rego says:
::sits back:: CO: Oh yes ... the reservations have existed for a very long time; as long as I have been alive.

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

CTO_Cha`Dak says:
::relaxes .... slightly::

CEO_Yeung says:
::runs a scan on the isolinear chips::

CSO_Storal says:
SO: Anything yet, Joseph?

FCO_Terman says:
XO: Well, sir, it’s listed on the manifest but the last scan of the shuttlebay didn’t show it.

SO_Hammond says:
CSO: Nothing different than the last time we were here, sir.

XO_Linard says:
FCO: Missing? When did it leave?

CNS_Vekh says:
::follows up their conversation with the Risealan leader::

FCO_Terman says:
XO: I'm not sure ... one second.

Host CO_Tyler-Turnbull says:
Omin: I see ... that helps give us some idea of what we need to look into. Thank you for your time.

FCO_Terman says:
::checks the database for when the missing shuttle left::

Host Omin_Rego says:
::nods at the CO:: CO: There is one more thing, Captain...

CTO_Cha`Dak says:
*TO Verall*: Mister Verall, is Reg in his cell?

CSO_Storal says:
SO: Try looking for anomalies ... like cloaked areas, power spikes?

TO_Verall says:
*CTO*: Standby sir. ::checks Reg’s cell::

CEO_Yeung says:
::opens up a panel to reveal a rack of chips, some blackened::

CNS_Vekh says:
::raises from his chair, preparing to leave, then stops at Omin's remark::

Host CO_Tyler-Turnbull says:
::turns back to Omin before leaving:: Omin: Yes, Omin?

XO_Linard says:
::turns back to the CTO:: CTO: Hershey! Where is she?

TO_Verall says:
*CTO*: All is in order, sir.

CTO_Cha`Dak says:
*TO Verall*: Acknowledged.

Host Omin_Rego says:
::stands with them:: CO/CNS: I have accepted my fate and the fates of my people. It may be best if we comply with my exile order to Jovian 3. It may be what is best for Riseal as a world. Bringing us back will only anger those in power.

CEO_Yeung says:
::turns off the systems linked to the chips and replaces them::

FCO_Terman says:
XO: Hershey, sir? ::a look of confusion is on Jordan’s face::

Host Jafo says:
ACTION: As Verall peers into the Brig cell, he sees that Reg is lying on the makeshift bed, sleeping under a blanket.

CEO_Yeung says:
::when done, closes up the panel, and reboots the system::

TO_Verall says:
::slaps the forcefield to Regs cell with his phaser:: Reg: You awake!

XO_Linard says:
FCO: A Risealan judge. She's responsible for nearly killing most of the crew and disabling this ship.

SO_Hammond says:
::scans for any form of anomalies::

FCO_Terman says:
::looks up from the scan, obviously flustered:: XO: There was no mention of this when I left...

TO_Verall says:
Reg: Hey! Wake up!

Host Jafo says:
ACTION: As Verall steps into the cell and picks up the blanket, he finds a small life sign repeater lying on the bunk among a pile of pillows in the shape of a body.

XO_Linard says:
::feels her jaw tighten:: FCO: Anything from sensor logs? I'm sure a shuttle leaving our bay would have been noticed.

TO_Verall says:
::picks up the lifesign repeater and then taps his combadge:: *CTO*: Umm, sir ... we have a slight problem.

CTO_Cha`Dak says:
*TO*: What is it, Lieutenant.

FCO_Terman says:
::checks the sensors for any shuttles::

Host CO_Tyler-Turnbull says:
::nods:: Omin: I understand how you feel, and maybe you're right. However, I still want to have a little more information from your homeworld before we submit our reports to our superiors. Once we have that information we'll continue on to Jovian 3, if that's what must be.

XO_Linard says:
::overhears Verall:: CTO: Define problem, Mister Verall.

TO_Verall says:
*CTO*: Reg has gone, sir. All that's left is a lifesign repeater.

Host Omin_Rego says:
::nods at the Captain:: CO: Of course, sir.

CTO_Cha`Dak says:
*TO Verall*: How did this happen!

TO_Verall says:
*XO/CTO*: I have no idea, sir. I only just got here.

XO_Linard says:
::stands from her seat:: FCO: Scan the system, long and short range sensors. Scan for ion trails ... neutrino emissions ... anything to determine where he could have gone.

FCO_Terman says:
XO: Sir, it could have left at any of a few times the shuttlebay doors were open. I can’t pin down when it left.

Host CO_Tyler-Turnbull says:
::smiles:: Omin: We'll keep you informed of everything that happens.

CTO_Cha`Dak says:
Computer: Computer, locate Reg.

Host Computer says:
CTO: Reg is not onboard the Apache.

FCO_Terman says:
::checks the sensors, suddenly glad he paid attention in his science classes::

CTO_Cha`Dak says:
::slams a fist into his console::

XO_Linard says:
::taps her combadge:: *CO*: Captain, I think you should know ... Reg has left the Apache.

Host Jafo says:
ACTION: Sensors detect at least a dozen energy signatures and ion trails along their path that could be Reg's ship.

FCO_Terman says:
::groans::

CNS_Vekh says:
::agrees with the CO on that part::

CSO_Storal says:
*CEO*: I need access to the scans and repair logs for Reg's ship.

FCO_Terman says:
XO: There are at least 12 signatures that could be his type of ship.

Host CO_Tyler-Turnbull says:
::turns to Drayan as she hears the comm from Kathleen:: CNS: I think we should get back to the bridge. *XO* Understood Commander, see if you can trace the direction he headed and when he may have left the ship ... we're on our way up.

CEO_Yeung says:
*CSO*: Reg's ship? Sure, but what's going on?

XO_Linard says:
::sighs::

SO_Hammond says:
CSO: Sir, we did install a transponder on his ship. Barring him finding it we should be able to track it.

CSO_Storal says:
*CEO*: Reg is gone.

XO_Linard says:
*CO*: We already have, sir. There are a dozen or more signatures that could lead us to his ship.

CNS_Vekh says:
::nods:: CO: At once, sir ::leaves the room and heads for the turbolift::

CSO_Storal says:
SO: That is correct.

CSO_Storal says:
CTO: Mister Lu placed a transponder aboard Reg's ship when it was in our shuttlebay. We should be able to detect the signal from a considerable distance.

Host Jafo says:
ACTION: As the commander taps her combadge, there is a crack and fizzle from the OPS panel and the view on the main viewscreen changes to a picture of Reg, sitting in the cockpit of his freighter with his Targ sitting beside him getting a good scratching behind the ears.

XO_Linard says:
*CEO*: Mister Yeung, you worked on Reg's ship. Was there anything about his power output that could help us narrow it down and trace his heading?

CTO_Cha`Dak says:
CSO: Aye sir.

Host CO_Tyler-Turnbull says:
::follows Vekh out:: Omin: Thank you for your help... ::walks to the nearest turbolift:: Self: Perfect... ::sighs::

CEO_Yeung says:
::sends logs to the bridge:: *CSO*: Logs sent.

CNS_Vekh says:
::on the turbolift with the Captain:: CO: Captain, the Risealan situation is a very sensitive one. Either if we remain on the planet or if we leave, the outcome is not satisfactory for the general population.

CEO_Yeung says:
*XO*: Perhaps in my repairs logs, but I also installed a tracking beacon on Reg's ship.

CTO_Cha`Dak says:
::begins scanning long and short-range sensors for the signature being emitted from the transponder on Regs ship::

CSO_Storal says:
XO: Sir! ::points at the viewscreen::

Host Reg says:
XO: Hi Sweet Cheeks ... I thought I'd leave you a message. By now you've probably realized I've left the Apache, snuck out of your brig, and taken my ship back. I'm off on my next adventure. The Ferengi are offering a ton of latinum for holoprograms these days. Don't yell at Cha`Dak too hard, it wasn't easy getting out of the Brig.

XO_Linard says:
::looks to the viewscreen::

SO_Hammond says:
::looks up at the main viewscreen::

CTO_Cha`Dak says:
::quietly at the image on the viewscreen:: Self: P’tak...

Host CO_Tyler-Turnbull says:
::shakes her head:: CNS: No it's not. If the Federation pulls out the situation will be worse for the Zlibra and if we stay ... they still suffer.

XO_Linard says:
::walks to the FCO's console:: Reg: You realize that if you're ever found around this part of space again...

Host Reg says:
XO: I just figured it was time for me to make my exit ... I mean, you couldn't have thought I'd let you take me into the authorities. This Mercenary still has a lot of road in front of him and I'm sure we'll meet again. Say goodbye to Jax for me. Oh, and that transponder you guys put in my ship? Well, it should halfway to Quo'noS by now.

XO_Linard says:
::places her hands on her hips:: Reg: So much for our date, huh?

CSO_Storal says:
CTO: Don’t be to frustrated ... that P’tak, as you refer to him, has no honor.

CTO_Cha`Dak says:
CSO: Agreed Commander.

Host Reg says:
::leans forward and just before he shuts off the recording he adds:: XO: Something tells me this won't be the last time you get a chance to catch me; until next time. It was ... fun.

FCO_Terman says:
::under his breath:: Self: Good day to come aboard…
