Star Trek: Apache - Episode #20
Week #3
Mission: "Neutral Parties"

Host Jafo says:
With Reg's freighter secured in the Main Shuttlebay, the Apache has resumed its course for the Klingon homeworld. Engineering and Security teams have gone over the small, one-man, freighter searching for any indication of what may have occurred on the ship to little avail.

Host Jafo says:
Meanwhile, the Apache encountered a Talarian heavy transport which claimed to be en route to Qo'noS on an errand of mercy, picking up much needed medical supplies for their continued conflict with the Tzenkethi Empire. Shadowing the vessel, the Apache observed a Tzenkethi Destroyer that dropped from warp and attacked the smaller transport craft.

Host Jafo says:
The Apache intervened and fired on the Destroyer, which was forced to retreat from the superior weapons of the Apache. An engineering team and medical team have beamed over to the Talarian heavy transport VonChek to assist its crew with repairs and tend to their injured. Once propulsion was restored, the two vessels resumed their previous course towards Qo'noS.

CIV_Torsian says:
@:: nods :: XO: Aye sir.

CNS_Lux says:
Nurse Lorat: Nurse, I have this huge headache, can you prescribe something for me?

Host Jafo says:
ACTION: The USS Apache continues on its course towards Qo'noS, escorting the Talarian heavy transport VonChek.

TO_Verall says:
$::quietly watching the workers at repair, in the company of Ensign Tana::

MO_Powers says:
::rushes into sickbay hoping nobody notices he's late::

CNS_Lux says:
::watches the nurse walk by her, barely hearing her and sighs:: Self: I'm an invisible person today.

Host CO_Linard says:
CTO: Any word from the away team, Commander? How are they doing?

CIV_Torsian says:
@::sits at the secondary console and looks over the controls with interest::

FCO_Terman says:
::finishes getting dressed and rushes out of his quarters in a flurry, rushing over to the turbolift::

CNS_Lux says:
::gets bumped from behind as someone walks right into her:: MO: Oh, hello. Oh, good morning Doctor Powers.

CTO_Cha`Dak says:
CO: They have not reported in recently, Captain.

Host Doctor_Horvin says:
$::walking up towards where Tana is standing:: EO: Ensign ... how go your repairs?

XO_Storal says:
@CIV: Mister Torsian,  I take it you haven’t been in the cockpit before?

Host CO_Linard says:
::looks at the CSO:: CSO: Mister Hammond, do you have any idea where Mister Terman is?

MO_Powers says:
CNS: Sorry Counselor…

CIV_Torsian says:
@XO: Quite the contrary Commander, I'm a fighter pilot, but that's where it ends, Emergency Shuttle Operations.

EO_Tana says:
$::looks up from the boards, closing them up:: Horvin: Umm … environmental controls should be operating properly again in the damaged sections.

FCO_Terman says:
TL: Bridge, and step on it.

CSO_Hammond says:
CO: I'll find out sir.  *FCO*: Hammond to Terman, where are you at the present time?

XO_Storal says:
@CIV: I see ... the controls are similar but the response time is slower.

CNS_Lux says:
MO: No worries, Doctor.  ::rubs her neck:: MO: I have a headache, a really big one, and my ears are ringing.  I was hoping you could prescribe something to make them go away.

Host Doctor_Horvin says:
$EO: Excellent ... your Doctor Naegle has also done a fine job with our wounded. She's made good use of our spartan medical facilities.

Host CO_Linard says:
::looks at the rather tired Mister V'Taran in the helm chair::

CIV_Torsian says:
@XO: Of course, Commander. How long have you served on Apache, sir?

TO_Verall says:
$::stands unobtrusively at the doorway listening to Tana and Horvin exchange pleasantries, hands clasped behind his back::

FCO_Terman says:
::taps his feet:: TL: Can't you go any faster?

MO_Powers says:
CNS: I'll just run a few scans and give you a hypospray.

EO_Tana says:
$::stops a minute to recall the face of the woman he remembers from Recovery:: Horvin: Yes ... she's very good. ::changes back to work:: We've gotten your power functioning properly, so the reroutes and backups should work better now. Is there anything else?

CNS_Lux says:
MO: Um ... sure.  That sounds great.  ::smiles, a little relieved:: MO: I've been getting a lot of headaches lately, I'm not sure why.

Host CO_Linard says:
::goes through the list of possible replacements for the FCO::

FCO_Terman says:
::the turbolift whirrs into motion, nearly taking the FCO off his feet, a few moments later it slows down and the doors open::

Host Doctor_Horvin says:
$::glances at Verall and raises an eyebrow slightly:: EO: I can understand your Captain's interest in protecting you ... but are you really so valuable to your crew that you need a constant guard?

CSO_Hammond says:
Computer: Computer, give me the location of Ensign Terman.

XO_Storal says:
@CIV: The Apache should be in range. COM: Apache: Shuttle Demeter to Apache, respond please...

MO_Powers says:
CNS: It's probably down to lack of rest or stress. Have you had much sleep recently?

MO_Powers says:
::runs a few scans and prepares a hypospray::

CNS_Lux says:
MO: Plenty actually.  ::tries to think of other possible reasons but her brain hurts too much to think::

TO_Verall says:
$::stiffens a little at the insinuation::

CIV_Torsian says:
@::nods:: XO: Very good, I’m anxious to meet my team.

FCO_Terman says:
::walks out onto the bridge and heads off to the flight pit:: V’Taran: Umm ... you can go now. Maybe get some rest.

XO_Storal says:
@CIV: I’ve been on the ship for about two and a half years.

EO_Tana says:
$::looks over his shoulder, having forgotten that Verall was even there:: Horvin:: Hmmm? Oh, that's standard procedure on alien ... non-Federation vessels.

Host CO_Linard says:
::turns and looks at the FCO enter the bridge:: FCO: Well now, it's nice of you to join us, Mister Terman. I trust this shift didn't interfere with your beauty sleep? ::wry grin::

CTO_Cha`Dak says:
::frowns at the FCO’s impertinence::

Host Doctor_Horvin says:
$::smiles at him slightly:: EO: I'm afraid most of our experienced officers were injured in the attack ... our Captain was killed. It will be difficult to complete our mission without them, but I thank you for your help, Ensign.

CIV_Torsian says:
@XO: They're awaiting my arrival on an outpost near Klingon territory.  My, that's some time to serve at one post.

MO_Powers says:
CNS: Have you had any knocks on the head or anything like that?

XO_Storal says:
@CIV: Been my only post, Lieutenant.

FCO_Terman says:
::blushes:: CO: Umm ... my alarm mustn't have gone off. ::a flashback of him rolling over and telling the computer to shut up plays through his mind:: CO: Yah, that must've been it. ::nods::

CSO_Hammond says:
::shakes his head at the FCO::

CNS_Lux says:
::blinks:: MO: Knocks?  Whatever do you mean?  My head is not a door.

MO_Powers says:
::gives CNS Lux the hypospray::

CIV_Torsian says:
@XO: You're only post?  My, oh my, if I may be so bold, how old are you Commander?

EO_Tana says:
::blinks once:: Horvin: Just doing my job, sir. ::really needs to cough but doesn't want to do it in front of anyone:: Horvin: Is that all?

MO_Powers says:
CNS: Have you hit you're head or anything like that?

XO_Storal says:
@CIV: 30…

CNS_Lux says:
::tilts her head sideways a little as she feels the hypospray pressed against her neck.::  MO: Thanks... ::rubs the spot as she straightens her head again::

Host Doctor_Horvin says:
$ ::turns back as he is walking off:: EO: Yes ... that is all. ::continues walking off::

CNS_Lux says:
MO: Umm ... nope, it could be stress. It was a little chaotic, and still is…

FCO_Terman says:
::waits patiently for V’Taran to get up::

TO_Verall says:
$EO: You all right, Mister Tana?

CIV_Torsian says:
@XO: That makes sense; fresh out of the Academy and all the way up to Commander already. Good for you, you must be one heck of an officer.

TO_Verall says:
$::can see that Kavli is beginning to sweat slightly::

CSO_Hammond says:
COM: Shuttle: Long time no see, Commander.

EO_Tana says:
$::wipes brow reflexively:: TO: I am ... thanks. Just, a bit hot. ::picks up his repair kit and tricorder:: TO: We'd better do those exterior scans for the captain now.

XO_Storal says:
@CIV: I wouldn’t say that.

MO_Powers says:
CNS: The hypospray should stops the pain. I suggest you get some rest and do something relaxing like visit the holodeck at your earliest convenience. If the pain returns come back and I’ll run a few more tests.

TO_Verall says:
$::nods and follows the EO::

XO_Storal says:
@COM: Apache:  Agreed Mister Hammond, permission to dock in shuttle bay two?

TO_Verall says:
$EO: I'll need to report to Lieutenant Commander Cha`Dak soon, Mister Kavli. What should I tell him?

CNS_Lux says:
::shakes her head a little, and then rigorously:: MO: Yes, the headache is gone for now.  As for relaxing, well, I can't do much there, there is way too much to do really.

FCO_Terman says:
::as V’Taran leaves, Jordan sits down in the comfy chair:: Self: Almost as good as the big one.

CIV_Torsian says:
@::looks over the controls and pushes a few buttons:: XO: Maybe not, that's all right sir.

EO_Tana says:
$ ::reads his tricorder, lost again, but thankful for the attention off his face:: TO: hmm? Oh, I guess we should report that repairs are underway and we're proceeding with exterior scans?

CSO_Hammond says:
COM: Demeter: Permission granted sir, and welcome back.  ::activates shuttle bay 2::

TO_Verall says:
$::nods::

Host CO_Linard says:
@::hears the XO's voice:: CSO: Tell him to report to my ready room for debriefing once he arrives...

CSO_Hammond says:
CO: Sir, it looks like Commander Storal has arrived.

XO_Storal says:
@::steers the shuttle towards shuttle bay two and begins the landing procedures::

CNS_Lux says:
MO: I tried sleeping as I could, but as soon as I open my eyes, it seems like the work just piles up overnight.

MO_Powers says:
CNS: Try to book some holodeck time as soon as you can … doctor’s orders.

XO_Storal says:
@CIV: We’re here.

CSO_Hammond says:
CO: Right away, sir.

CNS_Lux says:
::chuckles:: MO: Yes, doctor.

CIV_Torsian says:
@XO: Excellent Commander, thank you for a splendid ride.

CSO_Hammond says:
COM: Demeter: Commander Storal, the captain wants you to report to the Ready Room for debriefing.

MO_Powers says:
::smiles::

XO_Storal says:
@CIV: My pleasure Lieutenant Torsian; better head to the bridge.

CIV_Torsian says:
@XO: Aye sir.

EO_Tana says:
$ ::scans a breach behind the door and makes sure the emergency fields are in place before opening it::

FCO_Terman says:
::relaxes and begins looking over his orders for the shift::

CNS_Lux says:
MO: Are you a host, Doctor Powers?  I've never heard of a symbiont named Powers before.  It's quite an unusual name.  Where did you get that?

XO_Storal says:
::shuts down the shuttle and grabs his bag:: CIV: Sorry, it will take me awhile.

Host Jafo says:
ACTION: As Tana opens the door, the emergency field fails and a sudden rushing of atmosphere around him lifts him off his feet and propels him towards open space.

XO_Storal says:
*CSO*: Acknowledged Mister Hammond, I’m on my way.

CTO_Cha`Dak says:
::continues scanning for any nearby Tzenkethi vessels::

TO_Verall says:
$EO: Wait... ::a rush to grab Kavli’s uniform as he begins to move::

CIV_Torsian says:
XO: Quite all right, sir. ::opens the hatch of the shuttle and steps out:: Shuttle Bay Operator: I will return for my luggage.

EO_Tana says:
$::watches his tricorder and toolkit fly off through the hole and feels the wind rip him off his feet:: Self: AH!

Host Jafo says:
ACTION: As Verall lunges forward to grab Kavli's uniform, the rushing atmosphere lifts them both off their feet and takes them through a breach in the hull that they pass through into open space.

XO_Storal says:
::heads for the turbolift:: CIV: This way, Lieutenant.

Host CO_Linard says:
::gets up and straightens her uniform::

MO_Powers says:
CNS: It was a bit of an emergency. The last host died after a fight and the symbiont needed to be transferred quickly. I was on the same ship so I was lucky enough to be given Powers. I'm surprised you haven't heard the name before.

CIV_Torsian says:
::nods and follows the Commander:: XO: After you, sir.

EO_Tana says:
$::remembers just a bit of his training and exhales quickly so his lungs don't rupture, screaming without sound in the cold black::

CSO_Hammond says:
CO: Sir, one of the emergency fields on the transport has failed.

XO_Storal says:
::enters the turbolift:: Computer: Bridge.

CNS_Lux says:
::shakes her head:: MO: No, I didn't.  How many hosts have you had?

CIV_Torsian says:
::stands side by side to the commander, hands folded behind his back::

Host CO_Linard says:
::turns her head:: CSO: Notify the away team. Can you get them back up from here?

EO_Tana says:
$::feels the tears in his eyes start to ice over and quickly closes them::

CSO_Hammond says:
::tries to get a lock and beam the away team aboard::

Host Doctor_Horvin says:
$COM: Apache: Captain Linard, there's been an accident ... one of our emergency forcefields failed and two of your crewmembers were blown out into space!

Host CO_Linard says:
::turns to the CTO:: CTO: Lock on to the two crewmembers and beam them to sickbay ... NOW!

CSO_Hammond says:
::once away team is locked onto, energizes the beam:: CO: I have them, sir.

MO_Powers says:
CNS: I've had 8 hosts; 6 male, 2 female.

XO_Storal says:
::exits the turbolift and heads to the CO:: CO: Reporting for duty, sir. This is Gunnery Sergeant, Lieutenant Fred Torsian.

Host Jafo says:
ACTION: Tana and Verall dematerialize just as they run out of their last bit of oxygen and rematerialize in sickbay, huffing and puffing.

Host CO_Linard says:
::sighs slightly:: CSO: Thank you, Mister Hammond...

CIV_Torsian says:
::stands at attention next to the Commander:: CO: Reporting for duty, sir!

CNS_Lux says:
::nods:: MO: I've never been hosted ... I failed the... ::quickly looks over at the two people materializing across the bay from them and gasps::

EO_Tana says:
$ ::takes a long, desperate breath and starts a spastic coughing fit, blood evident on his lips:: Self: Argh!

Host CO_Linard says:
::looks at the CIV as he stiffens at attention:: CIV: At ease... ::grins and holds out her hand:: ...Captain Kathleen Linard.

CNS_Lux says:
::rushes over to them, pushing one of the nurses away so she can get nearer to them::

Host CO_Linard says:
CSO: Are they in sickbay?

TO_Verall says:
::begins to pass out, not quite aware that they're back::

CSO_Hammond says:
CO: Yes sir, I beamed them directly there.

CIV_Torsian says:
::stands at ease and extends his hand shaking hers:: CO: Gunnery Sergeant, Lieutenant Fred Torsian, sir.  Pleasure to make your acquaintance.

Host CO_Linard says:
::nods:: CSO: Good...

XO_Storal says:
::looks around the Bridge:: CO:  Sir, what is the ship next to us?

Host CO_Linard says:
::motions to her Ready Room:: CIV/XO: Would you care to join me in my ready room, gentlemen?

TO_Verall says:
::opens his eyes, and as the reality of sickbay hits him, he sucks in a huge lungful of air, feeling bruised on the inside::

MO_Powers says:
::rushes over to the two patients::

CIV_Torsian says:
::nods:: CO: Aye sir.

EO_Tana says:
::feels like something's ripping open inside him and starts to seize up::

CNS_Lux says:
::catches Verall as he passes out and then looks over at the EO::  EO: What happened?  Wait ... don't answer that. Just breathe for now.

XO_Storal says:
::nods to the CO and follows her::

Host Jafo says:
ACTION: Tana seems to have faired okay, but Verall has some more serious injuries with some bleeding about his body where oxygen was forced from within.

CSO_Hammond says:
*Burrows*: Ensign Burrows, report to the bridge please.

MO_Powers says:
CO: We have Tana and Verall in sickbay.

SO_Burrows says:
CSO: I’m on my way, sir.

Host CO_Linard says:
::taps her combadge:: *MO/CNS*: Sickbay, this is the Captain ... how are our crewmen doing?

Host CO_Linard says:
::enters the Ready Room and takes her seat behind the desk motioning for the XO and CIV to sit::

XO_Storal says:
::takes  his seat and waits to be briefed on the situation::

MO_Powers says:
*CO*: EO Tana appears to be okay, but TO Verall has some injuries. They should be fine, sir.

CIV_Torsian says:
CO: Thank you sir, I prefer to stand if it's all the same. ::stands in front of her desk with his hands folded behind his back::

CTO_Cha`Dak says:
FCO: Mister Terman, what is our ETA to Qo’noS?

Host Doctor_Horvin says:
$COM: Apache: This is Doctor Horvin to the Apache...

CNS_Lux says:
::helps the doctors put Verall onto a biobed, and then turns to look at Ensign Tana on the other bed::  MO: Ensign Tana seems to be okay...   ::has the EO sit up so he can breathe easier::

MO_Powers says:
::moves the TO onto a biobed and starts the treatment::

CSO_Hammond says:
COM: Horvin: Apache here, go ahead.

Host CO_Linard says:
::quickly punches a few things onto the PADD’s and hands them each one:: CIV/XO: Here are the details for our mission ... we're to pick up Ambassador K’laas on Qo’noS and bring him to Galen IV.

TO_Verall says:
::groans as he begins to regain consciousness, but the pain blacks him out again::

FCO_Terman says:
CTO: Somewhere around two days, give or take a couple hours.

Host Doctor_Horvin says:
$COM: Apache: Were you able to recover your crewmembers?

Host CO_Linard says:
*MO*: That's good to hear Doctor Powers, thank you. Linard out.

CIV_Torsian says:
::takes a PADD and reads:: CO: I'm sure you're aware of my team awaiting on Starbase 40-Sierra, near the Klingon Border that's awaiting pickup?

EO_Tana says:
::finally opens his eyes and feels the ice crack and begin to melt as it falls to his cheeks, and can't seem to stop coughing no matter how much air he gets::

XO_Storal says:
::takes the PADD and begins to peruse the contents:: CO: Sir, why a Klingon ambassador?

MO_Lorat says:
TO: Don't move, just relax … you're safe now.  We'll take good care of you.  ::helps Doctor Powers in Verall's treatments::

CSO_Hammond says:
COM: Horvin: Affirmative, we have them in our sickbay.

Host CO_Linard says:
XO: The Talarian & Tzenkethi representatives have decided on a representative that would neutral to their conflict … as such, they had to look outside the Federation ... thus the Ambassador.

SO_Burrows says:
::exits the turbolift and heads over to the CSO::

MO_Powers says:
::works on the TO's wounds and makes sure he is getting enough oxygen::

TO_Verall says:
::tries to speak, but only manages to gurgle out some liquid sounds::

Host Doctor_Horvin says:
$COM: Apache: Good ... good. I would have hated for anything to happen to them. ::pause:: Well, Apache ... lest this incident repeat itself ... I believe my crew can handle it from here. The rest of your away team can beam back to the Apache. We'll need to break course soon anyway.

SO_Burrows says:
CSO: You wanted to see me, sir?

CNS_Lux says:
::grabs a nearby towel, and wipes the melted ice away from the EO's face and speaks calmly to him:: EO: It's okay.  You're safe now.  Just try to breathe.  Coughing is okay; your lungs are just inflating.

EO_Tana says:
::draws up his knees and rests his head against them, coughing out little bits of blood that stain his trousers:: Self: In ... I need... ::opens his eyes and looks up, barely noticing anyone:: I need my tools... ::slips his legs off the side of the biobed::

Host CO_Linard says:
*CTO*: Mister Cha`Dak ... I'll be in a meeting for the next few moments.  You have the bridge.

MO_Powers says:
::sits the TO up to stop him choking and finishes up on his wounds::

CNS_Lux says:
EO: I'll go get them for you, you stay right here.  ::helps move his legs to the bed again::

Host CO_Linard says:
::nods to the CIV:: CIV: Not until now ... do you have instructions for me?

XO_Storal says:
::nods at the CO::

CSO_Hammond says:
COM: Horvin: Happy to help, we'll start beaming our crew back then.  Have a safe trip.

MO_Powers says:
CNS: How is the EO doing?

CTO_Cha`Dak says:
*CO*: Aye Captain.

MO_Karl says:
EO: Ensign, I want you to close your eyes and think about your pet project right now.  Do that, and don't make a single movement while we treat you.

CIV_Torsian says:
CO: The outpost is on our way, so it should not interfere with the time schedule allotted.  I will call ahead, and we can make a brief stop to beam them aboard. I’ll brief them on the current situation myself.

EO_Tana says:
::takes them off again:: CNS: I'll… ::looks up at the other doctor:: …I need to get back to work.

CSO_Hammond says:
Burrows: One moment.  ::begins beaming back the rest on the Away Team’s::

CNS_Lux says:
::looks a little worried as she turns to look at the MO::  MO: He's coughing up blood.

Host CO_Linard says:
::nods:: CIV: Of course.

Host Doctor_Horvin says:
$::nods:: COM: Apache: VonChek out...

CNS_Lux says:
EO: Kavli please... ::sounds a little urgent in her voice:: ...I'll go get your tools.  You stay here and concentrate on being good to the Doctor and do what he says, okay?  And then I'll give you your tools.

CIV_Torsian says:
::nods continuing to look over the PADD::

Host CO_Linard says:
XO: Commander, I'm sure you'll find it interesting when I tell you we have the ‘Beta Babe’ in our shuttlebay.

MO_Powers says:
Karl: Are you okay over there?

XO_Storal says:
::his  shoulders sag:: CO: You’re kidding me...

MO_Karl says:
::nods:: MO: But I won’t mind your assistance, Doctor Powers.  If Verall is okay, I can use your help.

EO_Tana says:
::shakes his head, not wanting them to scan him, which will happen if he stays too long:: CNS: No, Li, please. I'm fine ... I'm ... fit for duty. See? ::holds out a hand that won't stay steady, no matter how much he looks at it::

Host CO_Linard says:
CIV: It's good to have you onboard, Lieutenant. Dismissed... ::nods::

CSO_Hammond says:
CTO: The rest of our away team is back.  They said they could handle the rest of the repairs themselves.

MO_Powers says:
Karl: Okay, I’ll be right there.

MO_Karl says:
::fixes a hypospray, carefully measuring the medication before loading it::  MO: His body will go into shock soon, if something isn't done.  ::presses the hypospray against EO's neck::

CTO_Cha`Dak says:
CSO: Understood Commander. ::taps his combadge::

CIV_Torsian says:
::nods:: CO: Thank you sir, pleasure to be on board. ::stands at attention then walks out stiffly onto the bridge::

CTO_Cha`Dak says:
*CO*: Sir, the away team has been beamed back, and the VonChek is resuming its course.

EO_Tana says:
::shifts his neck away before he can press the trigger:: Karl: NO!

Host CO_Linard says:
::shakes her head and makes a few notes on her PADD:: XO: I wish I was. She was sent here on an intercept course with us. There was no one on board.

CNS_Lux says:
::takes Kavli's hand and lowers them for him::  EO: I know that, but you need to prove that to the doctors.  They don't believe you, so you need to prove to them that you're okay by listening to them, okay?

Host CO_Linard says:
*CTO*: Acknowledged, Mister Cha`Dak.

MO_Powers says:
Lorat: Patch the TO up. He'll have to stay a few hours and get some rest.

XO_Storal says:
CO: Any sign of the scruffy looking Tribble herder?

CIV_Torsian says:
:: walk onto the bridge and over to the OPS station ::

MO_Powers says:
::moves over to Doctor Karl::  Karl: What have we got here?

CNS_Lux says:
EO: Kavli, listen to the doctors, okay?  And I'll go get your tools for you.

Host CO_Linard says:
XO: Not a bit ... his last known heading was Tzenkethi space.

CTO_Cha`Dak says:
CSO: Mister Hammond, I’ve had a thought...

MO_Karl says:
EO: An uncooperative patient.  ::goes to apply the hypospray again::

CSO_Hammond says:
Burrows: I'm going to have you take over Gamma shift and move Cervantes over to Beta.

CIV_Torsian says:
::begins writing out a message and encoding it::

XO_Storal says:
XO: What about his ship? Any leads there?

EO_Tana says:
::finally notices her hand on his and withdraws them:: CNS: I'll come back after my shift, I promise!

CSO_Hammond says:
CTO: A thought? I hope it didn't hurt you, Commander. ::smiles::

EO_Tana says:
::notices Karl with hypo again and glares at him::

Host CO_Linard says:
XO: Well, aside from the fact that the computer's wiped clean, all we know is that he had picked up a large cargo a couple of weeks ago ... but it's gone now.

CNS_Lux says:
EO: Your shift is over.  ::looks at Doctor Powers::  MO: Right Doctor? ::begs him silently to say yes::

XO_Storal says:
CO: Do we know what the cargo was?

CIV_Torsian says:
::transmits his message and looks up from the OPS station::

CTO_Cha`Dak says:
::ignoring the insult, so deep in thought is he:: CSO: ...perhaps if you tried matching the weapons used against the Talarian transport to the ones marking the Beta babe?

MO_Powers says:
EO: Be nice to Doctor Karl and Counselor Lux … we need to treat you and you will have to stay here for a few hours.

MO_Karl says:
::ignores the glare::  EO: Look over there on the wall, please.  ::points, still his hypo unused::

CSO_Hammond says:
Burrows: I just wanted to tell you in person, good luck.

Host CO_Linard says:
::shakes head:: XO: Not yet ... and there's really not much way to tell at this point.

SO_Burrows says:
CSO: Thank you, sir.  ::turns and leaves::

MO_Powers says:
EO: I'm going to put you on restricted duty so you don't have to worry about work.

CTO_Cha`Dak says:
::brings up the tactical schematics of the damage to the Beta Babe::

EO_Tana says:
::eyes widen at Powers' suggestion:: MO: You can't do that!

XO_Storal says:
CO: Seems like it. What’s our ETA till our pick up of the ambassador?

CSO_Hammond says:
CTO: I'll send you the data I have and we'll compare.

CIV_Torsian says:
::looks around and heads for the turbolift:: TL: Sickbay.

Host CO_Linard says:
XO: So far a couple more days.

CNS_Lux says:
::quickly chirps in:: EO: I think what he meant was that he'll make sure the work that was meant for you will be restricted ... umm … untouched by others, so you'll still have work to go back to. But only after they say you’re okay to go back to work.

MO_Powers says:
::gets a hypospray in case Doctor Karl is unsuccessful::

XO_Storal says:
CO: Should we increase our speed?  I mean, if the hostilities are increasing, speed is of the essence.

MO_Karl says:
::uses the distraction and quickly applies his hypospray and lets out a long breath::

Host CO_Linard says:
XO: It might be a good idea since we're not with the VonChek anymore.

Host Jafo says:
ACTION: The VonChek breaks course, heading in the same general direction as the Apache, but altering their course slightly off of the Federation vessels’.

CNS_Lux says:
MO: That’s what you meant, right doctor?

MO_Powers says:
EO: If you don't let us do our jobs now you will not be able to do yours later so sit still and do what Doctor Karl tells you to do.

EO_Tana says:
::feels the pinch at his neck and slaps it away:: MO: Hey!

XO_Storal says:
CO: We could shave a day or so off the ETA.

CIV_Torsian says:
::steps off the turbolift and into the corridors entering sickbay:: All: Hello? Anyone home?

CTO_Cha`Dak says:
::matches the data from the VonChek against the data from the Beta Babe:: CSO: As I thought, it matches perfectly.

Host CO_Linard says:
::nods:: XO: Agreed ... we'll increase to warp 8 then.

MO_Karl says:
::rubs his hands, and watches his hypospray fly across the room, bonking Nurse Lorat on the head::

XO_Storal says:
::taps his combadge:: *FCO*: Mister Terman, increase speed to warp 8.

Host CO_Linard says:
::taps her combadge:: *FCO*: Mister Terman, increase speed to Qo’noS to warp 8 and engage.

CIV_Torsian says:
::walks up to the doctors and patients and clears his throat::

CSO_Hammond says:
CTO: The VonChek has altered their heading slightly off our own.

FCO_Terman says:
*CO/XO* Aye… ::preps for warp 8 and hits the big green 'go' button::

Host CO_Linard says:
::looks at the XO and laughs as he speaks in unison with her:: XO: Welcome Back, Commander...

CTO_Cha`Dak says:
::distractedly:: CSO: Acknowledged. So, that means the Tzenkethi attacked Reg, and we know Reg had been to Cardassia to transport some very large cargo to Tzenkethi space.

EO_Tana says:
::slips his legs off the biobed again, feeling drowsy on top of being a split second from oblivion:: All: I have to go. ::takes one step and promptly collapses::

MO_Karl says:
::looks at the EO, who just received a nerve relaxant medication .... who should be calming down rather quickly::

XO_Storal says:
::chuckles:: CO: Good to be back.

CIV_Torsian says:
::clears his throat louder:: MO/Karl/CNS/EO: What's with the service around here? Can't anyone get a good injection?

FCO_Terman says:
::checks for the new ETA now that they're going significantly faster::

MO_Karl says:
CIV: Just a sec.  ::helps pick the EO up::

CSO_Hammond says:
CTO: Just adds to the list of questions, doesn't it commander.

Host CO_Linard says:
::stands from her seat and heads onto the bridge, muttering towards Kylorean:: XO: Seems we have cause for a little celebration, Mister Cha`Dak is getting married.

CIV_Torsian says:
Karl: Very well, if I must wait. :: goes over and sits on a biobed::

XO_Storal says:
CO: Really?

CNS_Lux says:
EO: Kavli! ::helps him back onto the bed::  Well, at least you're not coughing your brains out anymore... ::tries to take relief in that, and lies Kavli down:: EO: Rest, okay?

Host CO_Linard says:
::nods:: XO: Yeah, and guess who gets to marry them? ::grins proudly::

CTO_Cha`Dak says:
::nods:: CSO: But perhaps the cargo was for the Talarians .... no, why was he in Tzenkethi space? ::is not much good with this whole 'thinking' thing::

EO_Tana says:
::clutches his arm to his chest, but doesn't look at Ligeia, managing to look angry even as the anesthetic takes hold::

XO_Storal says:
::follows the CO out of the Ready Room, takes his seat and begins to go over the Beta Babe data::

Host CO_Linard says:
::looks to the CTO as she enters the bridge:: CTO: Report…

XO_Storal says:
CTO: Mister Cha`Dak, Can you forward me your findings of the Beta Babe. I’d like to go over them. CO: I’m sure you will do fine, sir.

CTO_Cha`Dak says:
XO: Yes, Commander. CO: Sir, we've just analyzed the data from weapons damage to both the VonChek and the Beta Babe. They match perfectly.

CNS_Lux says:
::looks down at EO, doesn’t care that he looked angry and then turns to look at the CIV::

CTO_Cha`Dak says:
::begins forwarding the data to Commander Storal::

CIV_Torsian says:
:: looks over his shoulder and wonders how long it will take to get serviced ::

XO_Storal says:
CTO: Commander, has the cargo been tracked?

MO_Powers says:
CIV: What can I do for you?

FCO_Terman says:
::decides to go over the menu at Fort Apache today::

Host CO_Linard says:
::looks at the CTO:: CTO: Well at least we know who's responsible for taking his cargo now ... the only question is ... what was he carrying?

EO_Tana says:
::fights to stay conscious, which feels a lot like swimming through cotton candy when drugged up to his eyeballs::

CSO_Hammond says:
CTO: You can never tell what that guy is up to.  There is no telling what he was doing.

XO_Storal says:
CTO: Meaning … do we know where it was picked up?

CIV_Torsian says:
MO: Hello Doctor, I've just come aboard and need to get medical clearance.

Host CO_Linard says:
CSO/CTO/XO: Well gentlemen, I think its time we put our thinking caps on ... I'm open to any theories you might have.

CTO_Cha`Dak says:
XO/CO: Yes sir. We know he picked up a large cargo from Cardassian space, and was last known to be in Tzenkethi space ... I theorize that he may have possibly been carrying weapons for the Talarians. 

XO_Storal says:
CTO: Do we know where in Cardassian space?

MO_Powers says:
CIV: Okay, just pop up onto this biobed and I will run a few scans.

CTO_Cha`Dak says:
XO: His exact location was unknown, sir.

CIV_Torsian says:
::lies down on the biobed hands folded across his chest:: MO: This won't be painful, will it doc?  Cause I know we don't want to hurt each other.

CNS_Lux says:
::pulls the blanket up Kavli's body and then leans down to hum a familiar lullaby that they both grew up with::  Kavli: Go to sleep.  Close your eyes...

XO_Storal says:
CTO: From the Beta Babe's last position it may be possible to plot a reverse course … judging on the deuterium decay? That’s if the engines weren’t to severely damaged.

EO_Tana says:
::blinks tiredly, but looks up at her, eyes seeming to say "Why did you do it?"::

CNS_Lux says:
::turns to look at Karl::  Karl: You didn't give him anesthetics, did you?

MO_Karl says:
::shakes his head::  CNS: Nope.  But his body is still recovering from the entire episode before, where he was housing all those larvae, and he hasn’t recovered fully from that yet.

CTO_Cha`Dak says:
::nods, looking at the XO/CSO/CO:: XO: It is possible.

CNS_Lux says:
::blushes, because she knows it was her fault::

Host CO_Linard says:
XO: His ship was in pretty bad shape ... maybe the engineering teams can come up with something.

XO_Storal says:
CTO/CSO: Work on it and see what you can come up with, we may be able to get a clue.

CTO_Cha`Dak says:
XO: Aye Commander.

CSO_Hammond says:
XO: Will do, sir.

CIV_Torsian says:
::plays with his fingers while he waits for the doctor to finish::

MO_Karl says:
CNS: Excuse me, counselor...

Host Jafo says:
ACTION: As the Apache continues on course for Qo'noS, a Klingon Bird of Prey decloaks alongside on a parallel course at a matching speed.

CSO_Hammond says:
::starts’ scanning over the Beta Babe’s known course::

MO_Karl says:
::walks over to the CIV:: CIV: My apologies for the wait ... how can I help you?

XO_Storal says:
CTO: What about the damage to the ship? Did you find out who or what caused it?

CNS_Lux says:
::still a little red from knowing that Kavli's condition was her fault::  EO: I'm really sorry about that, I didn't know. ::hesitates::

FCO_Terman says:
::almost pulls hard to port as the sight of the Klingons, but doesn't::

CTO_Cha`Dak says:
CO: Sir! Klingon Bird of Prey decloaking off our starboard bow.

CSO_Hammond says:
CO: Sir! A Bird of Prey has decloaked alongside us.

CIV_Torsian says:
Karl: I'm new aboard, and I need medical clearance.  ::sighs as he lays down::

Host CO_Linard says:
::stands:: CTO: Hail them.

CTO_Cha`Dak says:
CO: It’s holding position parallel with the Apache... ::checks to see if they're targeting the Apache::

EO_Tana says:
::fights to pay attention to her, still looking half-angry::

MO_Karl says:
::blinks:: CIV: Usually, we have to chase the new recruits ... you volunteered.  Wow... ::chuckles:: …this will only take a bit.  And you are...?  ::checks the Apache's database::

XO_Storal says:
CO: Maybe the ambassador came to us?

Host CO_Kargan says:
COM: Apache: Captain Linard ... this is Captain Kargan of the IKS Pagh. My crew stands ready to protect and escort your vessel the rest of the way to the Klingon Homeworld.
