Star Trek: Apache - Episode #21
Week # 4
Mission: "The Hero Khrysaros"

Host Jafo says: 
Orbiting the planetoid Hynozad, the Apache began their search for their missing crewmembers. On the surface, the Styx away team tried to recover from the both their crash-landing and the destruction of the Cardassian shuttle nearby. On Betazed, the Captain has been whisked away and taken prisoner by an unknown faction.

Host Jafo says: 
The Apache sent down a detachment of marines to the surface of Hynozad to recover the away team and secure the farmhouse they'd been using as shelter. There the Marines also took two Cardassian prisoners who were quickly secured in the Apache's brig.

Host Jafo says: 
Now, the Apache speeds towards Betazed while the Captain’s away team ponders their next move in find their missing comrades, and the Staff of Khrysaros.

::exits the turbolift and heads to the brig::

CSO_Nightcloud says: 
%::adds some wood to the fire:: All: If they can't see this ... they are blind.

Host Jafo says: 
ACTION: The CTO gets no response from the Captain...

SO_Bern says: 
::materializes aboard the Apache in transporter room one, as the runabout he arrived in breaks off, gives a nod to the Transporter Operator as he skips off the pad::

CO_Linard says: 
@::reaches for her combadge to try and reach her away team but hears her fingers go 'thud' on her chest::

Host Jenia_Prue says: 
::smiles softly at Nightcloud::

CTO_Cha`Dak says: 
*SO*: Lieutenant Bern, please report to the bridge immediately.

CSO_Nightcloud says: 
%::sits down, sighing::

CMO_Naegle says: 
%::helps with the fire:: CSO: I agree, you did a good job, Kii.

CIV_Torsian says: 
::sighs and picks up a PADD writing up a report on his marines::

Host TRChief_Owen says: 
SO: Hang on, Mister! ::hurries after him::

CO_Linard says: 
@::looks to Jax and Masterson::

SO_Bern says: 
*CTO*: On my way, sir. ::whips around as the operator calls after him:: Owen: Yes? ::tilts his head::

Host TRChief_Owen says: 
::hears the CTO's call and frowns before sticking out his hand:: SO: Papers, please...

CSO_Nightcloud says: 
%::smiles:: CMO: Thanks Doctor.

CTO_Cha`Dak says: 
::scans long-range sensors:: V'Taran: Estimated time of arrival, Mister V'Taran?

MO_Powers says: 
::runs into sickbay hoping that nobody is in there waiting for him::

SO_Bern says: 
Owen: Oh ... sorry. I guess I’m a little ahead of myself. ::smiles slightly and digs the PADD out of his duffel before handing it over::

CO_Linard says: 
@::watches as Jaxlt sits up:: Jaxlt: Are you okay?

CIV_Torsian says: 
::sighs and puts the PADD aside:: Self: Never was one for paperwork... ::steps up off his bed and changes into his work uniform::

Host TRChief_Owen says: 
::looks over the orders closely:: SO: Well ... this wee bit o' paperwork seems to be in order. Carry on, sir.

XO_Storal says: 
::enters the brig and nods to the security officer on duty:: Verall: Mister Verall, what’s the status of the prisoners?

Host Jaxlt_Burta says: 
@::nods at the Captain:: CO: And you, Captain?

TO_Verall says: 
::at attention:: XO: Sir, Gul Suppec has just regained consciousness. His friend is still out.

SO_Bern says: 
::gives a small salute:: Owen: Thanks Chief. ::turns on his heel and leaves hurriedly for the turbolift::

FCO_V`Taran says: 
CTO: Entering orbit of Betazed now, sir.

CTO_Cha`Dak says: 
FCO: Slow to one-quarter impulse.

CO_Linard says: 
@::winces again slightly as the pain in her forehead continues:: Jaxlt: I'm okay for now ... it's later on that I'm worried about.

SO_Bern says: 
::finds the nearest turbolift and enters:: Turbolift:  Bridge, please...

FCO_V`Taran says: 
*XO*: Sir, we have entered orbit of Betazed.

Host Jaxlt_Burta says: 
@::doesn't really know what she means, but doesn't want to pry ... stands and walks to the forcefield::

CSO_Nightcloud says: 
%CEO: What do you think, sir?

CIV_Torsian says: 
::steps out of his quarters and passes Johnson and Burn playing a game of catch with a plasma grenade before heading into a turbolift:: Self: That had better have the pin in it... TL: Brig.

SO_Bern says: 
::winces and scratches his head ... should've probably left his bags with the Chief instead of dragging them along to the bridge::

Host Jafo says: 
ACTION: As Captain Linard regains consciousness she finds herself in what is clearly a Brig cell, which is sealed with a forcefield much like a Starfleet cell. The walls are a muted green color that is immediately recognizable the galaxy over.

CTO_Cha`Dak says: 
*SO*: Mister Bern, do not linger. You are needed on the bridge!

CTO_Cha`Dak says: 
*XO*: Bridge to Commander Storal.

MO_Powers says: 
::searches sickbay., when he is happy that nobody is going to jump out at him he sits down and relaxes in a chair::

SO_Bern says: 
::shrugs, then jumps at the communiqué::*CTO*: Y-yes sir! I'm in the turbolift now. ::fidgets nervously::

XO_Storal says: 
*V'Taran*: Acknowledged. *CTO*: Storal here, go ahead Commander.

CEO_Yeung says: 
%::turns his attention from the sky to the CSO:: CSO: I'm thinking that our lift had better hurry...

CTO_Cha`Dak says: 
*XO*: Sir, Captain Linard is not responding to hails. Should I continue to try?

CIV_Torsian says: 
::steps off the turbolift and heads through the corridors into the Brig:: Carver: Status?

CSO_Nightcloud says: 
%::nods, looking back at the fire, watching it::

SO_Bern says: 
::getting a bit jumpy, steps out of the turbolift onto the bridge and takes a quick glance around::

Host Jenia_Prue says: 
::slips into Yeung's arms and rests her head on his chest::

CTO_Cha`Dak says: 
::sees the new Science Officer step out of the turbolift:: SO: Man Science I for me please, Lieutenant Bern...

PFC_Carver says: 
CIV: All fun and games, Gunny. Keeping an eye on these guys is easy, they’re like bunny rabbits … harmless.

SO_Bern says: 
::swallows once and walks toward the Klingon, looking up to him:: CTO:  Lieutenant Junior Grade Roger Bern reporting for duty, sir.

XO_Storal says: 
*CTO*: Continue trying to reach any crewman on the away team.

CTO_Cha`Dak says: 
SO: ...and welcome to the Apache.

CO_Linard says: 
@Jax: Well at least they didn't put us in separate cells.

CSO_Nightcloud says: 
%::looks over at Jenia and Yeung::

CIV_Torsian says: 
::nods to Carver and approaches the XO:: XO: What's the word, Commander?

CTO_Cha`Dak says: 
*XO*: Understood, Bridge out.

SO_Bern says: 
CTO:  Thank you, sir. ::feels slightly more at ease for that, and walks over to the science station::

Host Jafo says: 
@::nods:: CO: Indeed ... is Lieutenant Masterson all right?

XO_Storal says: 
::looks at the Cardassian in the brig:: CIV: None yet, Lieutenant.

CEO_Yeung says: 
%::looks at Jenia curiously, but does nothing except pat her shoulder::

CTO_Cha`Dak says: 
COM: CO: Captain Linard, this is the USS Apache, please respond.

CSO_Nightcloud says: 
%::looks back at the sky, thinking isn't Jenia with Jax? Shakes his head thinking it is not his concern::

CIV_Torsian says: 
XO: What can I do to be of assistance?

CTO_Cha`Dak says: 
SO: I want you to keep a close eye out for any Romulan or Breen warp signatures. I don’t believe we'll be seeing the Cardassians for a while.

CO_Linard says: 
@::looks at her sleeping form and nods:: Jax: From what I can tell, yes. I don't think their intention was to harm any of us ... just get us out of the way.

XO_Storal says: 
CIV: Just be ready incase of an escape attempt.

SO_Bern says: 
::raises one eyebrow a little:: CTO: I'll be watching, sir. ::wonders what that might be about::

XO_Storal says: 
Suppec: Why don’t you begin by telling me why you attacked my crew.

Host Jafo says: 
ACTION: As Captain Linard's voice trails off a person clad in Romulan armor comes strolling up to their cell. Instinctively, Jaxlt takes a step backwards as two guards approach carrying nasty looking disruptors.

CTO_Cha`Dak says: 
COM: CSO: Lieutenant Nightcloud, this is the USS Apache. Please respond.

CIV_Torsian says: 
XO: Sir, yes sir. I have posted watch of one marine on a 2.75-hour shift.  Their will always be one of us here, starting with Private Carver.

CO_Linard says: 
@Jax: I'm wondering if they have the rest of the team in custody as well. ::looks to the guards and comes to her feet::

Host Gil_Suppec says: 
::starts snoring, lying on the bunk in the cell::

CSO_Nightcloud says: 
%::jumps as his combadge goes off::

Host Jenia_Prue says: 
%::jumps against Yeung, as Nightcloud's combadge goes off::

CSO_Nightcloud says: 
%COM: Apache: This is Nightcloud, Apache. We are sure glad to hear from you guys.

CEO_Yeung says: 
%::straightens his back at hearing Nightcloud's combadge:: Self: Yes!

CO_Linard says: 
@::moves next to Jax and stares at their visitors, waiting for them to speak first::

CTO_Cha`Dak says: 
COM: CSO: Report, Lieutenant?

Host Centurion says: 
@CO: We do, Captain ... but I'm hoping it won't become necessary to question all of them. That is, assuming you are willing to answer a few questions openly and honestly.

XO_Storal says: 
Suppec: We can do this the easy way or the hard way.  It’s your choice.

CO_Linard says: 
@::despite the pain, tries to sense if he's lying::

CEO_Yeung says: 
%COM: CTO: Commander Cha`Dak, we have an emergency! Captain Linard, Lieutenant Masterson, and Jax have been abducted by Romulans!

CIV_Torsian says: 
::stands next to the Commander looking into the Cell:: Suppec: Wake up Grunt!

MO_Powers says: 
*XO*: Do our guests need any medical attention, sir? Like an elbow to the nose?

CIV_Torsian says: 
::kicks the forcefield with the tip of his shoe::

SO_Bern says: 
::sets scanners to an active search for warp signatures of Breen or Romulan vessels::

CO_Linard says: 
@::smiles sweetly:: Centurion: Well that all depends...

SO_Bern says: 
::keeps an eye on other traffic in and out of the system as well, just in case::

Host Gil_Suppec says: 
::grunts and stirs on the bunk, looking up bleary-eyed::

XO_Storal says: 
*MO*: Not at the moment, Lieutenant.

CSO_Nightcloud says: 
%::gets up::

CTO_Cha`Dak says: 
::growls:: COM: CEO: Acknowledged, Mister Yeung. I shall begin beaming you all back to the Apache immediately.

CEO_Yeung says: 
%COM: CTO: Understood, Commander Let's hurry.

Host Centurion says: 
@::brandishes his own disruptor:: CO: No Captain, it does not... ::waves Jax away from Linard::

CTO_Cha`Dak says: 
SO: Begin beaming the away team up, Lieutenant.

MO_Powers says: 
*XO*: Oh, well if they do then you know where to find me.

CEO_Yeung says: 
%::begins standing up:: All: Everyone get ready, we're heading back to the Apache.

CIV_Torsian says: 
::kicks the forcefield again:: Suppec: Answer the Commander's question!

XO_Storal says: 
Suppec: Now lets try this again.  Why did you attack my crew?

CSO_Nightcloud says: 
%::nods::

SO_Bern says: 
CTO: Aye. ::quickly taps into transporter controls and locates the away team's signatures before commencing their beam up::

CO_Linard says: 
@::looks down at the disruptor:: Centurion: Threatening me a little early aren't we? If you want me to cooperate, I hardly think this method is very hospitable.

XO_Storal says: 
*MO*: I’ll keep that in mind, Mister Powers.

Host Jaxlt_Burta says: 
@::defiantly stands in front of the Captain::

CO_Linard says: 
@::lays her hand on Jax's arm and says softly:: Jax: It's okay Jax...

Host Centurion says: 
@CO: We'll see, Captain ... I'm sure the Tal Shiar has at least one tactic that will work on Captain Kathleen Linard of the starship Apache.

Host Gil_Suppec says: 
::gets up off his bed:: XO: Huh?

CTO_Cha`Dak says: 
*XO*: Sir, we have a situation. You're needed on the bridge.

CEO_Yeung says: 
%COM: CTO: K'hora, while you're beaming us up, see if you can detect an emission trail that could be caused by a Romulan shuttle in the sky of Betazed in the area of our position.

MO_Powers says: 
*XO*: Yes sir. ::leans back disappointed that he does not get to 'aid' the Cardassian guests::

Host Jafo says: 
ACTION: All members of the away team on Betazed, with the exception of Linard, Masterson, and Burta, materialize in transporter room one.

SO_Bern says: 
::takes a short breath and unloads his duffels to the floor in front of him before kicking them under the science console and going back to this sensor scans::

XO_Storal says: 
::growls to himself::*CTO*: Acknowledged, on my way.

CSO_Nightcloud says: 
::looks around after they materialize::

CTO_Cha`Dak says: 
SO: You heard Lieutenant Commander Yeung, begin searching for any Romulan ion emissions.

CIV_Torsian says: 
XO: I'll come with you, sir.

Host TRChief_Owen says: 
::finishes the beam up:: All: Phew ... thank goodness you all are all right. ::looks around:: CEO: Commander, where’s Captain Linard?

XO_Storal says: 
CIV: No, stay and see what you can get out of this spoon head. ::turns and heads for the turbolift::

CIV_Torsian says: 
::nods and stands at attention:: XO: Sir, yes sir!

CO_Linard says: 
@::tries to read his mind now that her inhibitors are out of her system:: Centurion: Really?

CTO_Cha`Dak says: 
FCO: Keep us in a steady orbit, Mister V'Taran.

CEO_Yeung says: 
::begins heading out of the transporter room at a rush:: Owen: Kidnapped!

CSO_Nightcloud says: 
::rushes to the bridge::

CIV_Torsian says: 
::looks towards Suppec and pulls his phaser off his belt:: Brig Guard: Lower the forcefield. ::raises his weapon and points it at Suppec::

CEO_Yeung says: 
::enters turbolift:: TL: Bridge!

SO_Bern says: 
Self:  Hmm...  ::cross-references vessel records with the readings around the first planet:: CTO:  Sir, I don't see any Romulan signatures as yet ... but ... there do seem to be some scattered signatures around Hynozad, the first planet in this system. They appear to be Cardassian in origin … I’m analyzing further.

CO_Linard says: 
@::keeps drawing inconclusive results from his mind::

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

Host Centurion says: 
@::doesn't answer, but the forcefield snaps out:: CO: Come with me, Captain... ::waves the disruptor in her direction as the guards move forward::

CSO_Nightcloud says: 
::stands beside Yeung:: CEO: I'll scan the islands and see what I can find as well.

CEO_Yeung says: 
::makes sure Jenia is still with them::

CTO_Cha`Dak says: 
::growls:: SO: I hate Cardassians.

BrgGrd_Iltor says: 
CIV: Are you sure that's a good Idea? ::looks skeptical::

CEO_Yeung says: 
::nods to Nightcloud::

Host Gil_Suppec says: 
::backs away from Torsian:: CIV: Hey! What the...!

Host Jenia_Prue says: 
::hurries to keep up with the CEO and CSO::

XO_Storal says: 
::exits the TL and enters the bridge:: CTO: Report.

CIV_Torsian says: 
Iltor: 100%, now lower the forcefield.  Carver: Be on your guard.

CEO_Yeung says: 
::exits turbolift upon arrival to bridge::

PFC_Carver says: 
::stands up and points a phaser at Suppec:: CIV: Aye, aye, Gunny.

CTO_Cha`Dak says: 
XO: Sir, the away team reports that Captain Linard and two other crewmembers have been kidnapped. The away team has been retrieved.

CO_Linard says: 
@::slowly takes a step forward, looking at Jax then to the Centurion::

BrgGrd_Iltor says: 
CIV: Yes sir. ::lowers the forcefield to Suppec’s cell::

CEO_Yeung says: 
XO: Commander! We've got a serious problem.

CTO_Cha`Dak says: 
XO: We are now at one-quarter impulse, orbiting Betazed.

Host Jaxlt_Burta says: 
@Centurion: Like hell she will! ::grabs one of the Romulan guards at the elbow and yanks his arm clean out of its socket using the bloody arm as a weapon as he charges the Centurion::

CSO_Nightcloud says: 
::walks to science two, seeing someone at science one, brings the islands up on the display and begins to scan::

XO_Storal says: 
CTO: Kidnapped?  By whom? CEO: Jon, what happened?

CIV_Torsian says: 
::steps into the cell with his phaser drawn and aimed right at Suppec's neck:: Suppec: Why did you attack us on the planet?

CTO_Cha`Dak says: 
::gestures with his head towards Jon, indicating he should explain::

Host Centurion says: 
@::turns and fire's his disruptor at Jax, but doesn't have it on nearly a high enough setting as the Brikar begins battering at him with the guard’s radically amputated arm::

SO_Bern says: 
::continues tapping away at the panel ... when he looks to the CTO, he sees someone standing at the secondary console:: CSO: ...sir?

CO_Linard says: 
@Jax: Jax no!

CEO_Yeung says: 
::walks over next to Storal:: XO: Our skimmer was sabotaged. We landed safely in a swamp, but then a Romulan shuttle appeared, and beamed away the Captain, Masterson, and Jax.

CSO_Nightcloud says: 
::doesn't look over:: SO: Yes?

Host Gil_Suppec says: 
::stammering:: CIV: Umm ... umm ... cause you were there!

XO_Storal says: 
CEO: Romulan, are you sure?

SO_Bern says: 
CSO:  Are you ... Lieutenant Nightcloud?

CEO_Yeung says: 
::turns to Jenia and motions towards her:: XO: This is Jenia Prue, Doctor Fyue's assistant. She's been aiding us in locating the Staff.

CIV_Torsian says: 
::aims right to the left of his neck and shoots the wall behind Suppec:: Suppec: Not good enough! What were you doing on that planet!

CSO_Nightcloud says: 
::looks over:: SO: Yes I am. 

SO_Bern says: 
::hopes he remembered the name right ... doesn't help to get your superior's name wrong on the first day, sighs in relief::

CEO_Yeung says: 
::nods:: XO: They're the only ones I know who use that shade of green for their vessels.

CO_Linard says: 
@::ducks and gets out of the way from the swinging bloodied arm::

Host Jafo says: 
ACTION: As Jaxlt attacks the Centurion; several more guards rush into the area firing their disruptors into his body. Eventually he groans, and falls backwards struggling to keep up the fight until the Centurion wraps an arm around Linard's neck and presses his disruptor to her head.

CTO_Cha`Dak says: 
::scans for any tachyon traces, which may indicate a cloaked vessel::

SO_Bern says: 
CSO:  I'm Roger Bern, the new Science Officer.  I can move over to two, if you'd like to be here.  ::stands aside::

Host Gil_Suppec says: 
::terribly frightened, he soils himself:: CIV: We were looking for the Staff!

CO_Linard says: 
@Jax: Jax, stop! This won't do us any good!

CIV_Torsian says: 
::sniffs something foul:: Suppec: Why?

XO_Storal says: 
::nods at Jenia:: Jenia: I wish we would have met under different circumstances.

CSO_Nightcloud says: 
::grins:: SO: No, it’s okay. You stay on one and look for those emissions. I’m honored to have you on board.

CEO_Yeung says: 
XO: Last I checked, they were heading in the direction of the Piri Islands. That was our destination.

Host Jaxlt_Burta says: 
@::sinks backwards into the cell moaning in pain from multiple disruptor wounds ... eyes the Centurion with death in his eyes::

CSO_Nightcloud says: 
::continues to scan the Piri Islands::

PFC_Carver says: 
::hears a noise coming from Suppec and sniffs something odd in the air and starts to chuckle::

SO_Bern says: 
CSO:  Thank you, sir. ::smiles:: I had just noticed three definitive scattering fields in use on the surface of Hynozad. Not sure what that could be yet. There are Cardassian warp signatures around the planet, as well.

CO_Linard says: 
@::freezes as she is grabbed from behind and mutters:: Self: Great... as if my headache wasn't bad enough.

Host Centurion says: 
@::yanks Linard away from the cell, as the forcefield goes back up ... takes her down the corridor::

XO_Storal says: 
CTO: Commander, scan for any Romulan vessels.

Host Gil_Suppec says: 
::scared out of his wits:: CIV: Because Uncle said so!

CTO_Cha`Dak says: 
XO: One step ahead of you, Commander. No sign of them as yet.

CSO_Nightcloud says: 
SO: Concentrate the scan on our pickup position and the Piri Islands.

CTO_Cha`Dak says: 
XO: I'm not detecting any tachyon emissions that might indicate a cloak either, sir.

CO_Linard says: 
@Centurion: Where are we going? I want to see if he's okay...

SO_Bern says: 
CSO: Aye sir. ::redirects sensors to that area of Betazed ... wonders what could be of interest there::

XO_Storal says: 
CTO: Try looking for quantum singularities.

CIV_Torsian says: 
Suppec: Who is Uncle? You better stop giving me one-worded answers before I just might lose my temper and accidentally blow your head off! ::takes a step back as he smells an awful smell::

XO_Storal says: 
CEO: How much of a jump do they have?

CSO_Nightcloud says: 
SO: Are there any Cardassian warp signatures around Betazed?

Host Centurion says: 
@::marches the Captain forward with an angry glint in his eyes:: CO: Worry about yourself, Linard ... and the rest of your crew.

CEO_Yeung says: 
XO: I'd say about half an hour since they abducted the captain and the others.

XO_Storal says: 
CSO: Scan the Piri Islands for the missing crew.

Host Gil_Suppec says: 
::screams and pulls away, hiding under his bunk:: CIV: Glinn Dorchel!

CTO_Cha`Dak says: 
XO: Aside from the quantum singularity our scans reveal nothing new.

CO_Linard says: 
@::glares at him:: Centurion: He is part of my crew...

SO_Bern says: 
CSO: Not that I've seen so far ... only around Hynozad. ::knits his brow, curious::

Host Jenia_Prue says: 
::tries to stay out of the way, hanging around the back of the bridge::

CSO_Nightcloud says: 
XO: Aye sir, we're doing so now.

CEO_Yeung says: 
XO: Permission to take a shuttle and a team to head down to Betazed, and take a closer look?

CSO_Nightcloud says: 
::nods to Bern::

CIV_Torsian says: 
::hears the name and pulls his ears back with amazement:: Suppec: Where is he now?

Host Jafo says: 
ACTION: As the Captain is marched down the corridor she passes cell after cell housing one or two members of the Away Team she was with. Doctor Naegle and Lieutenant Nightcloud are in one, Commander Yeung and Jenia Prue in another...

XO_Storal says: 
CEO: Prepare one and stand by.

PFC_Carver says: 
::whispers and taps his combadge::*XO*: Private Carver to Commander Storal.

XO_Storal says: 
Prue: Please have a seat. ::motions to the secondary command chair::

Host Gil_Suppec says: 
::still hiding under the bunk, yells out:: Aloud: Help! This guys crazy! Someone help me!

XO_Storal says: 
*Carver*: Report Private…

CO_Linard says: 
@::does a double take seeing the rest of her crew in the cells::

CEO_Yeung says: 
::nods:: CTO/CSO/Jenia: You're part of the team, stand by.

CSO_Nightcloud says: 
CEO: Aye sir.

Host Jenia_Prue says: 
::looks at the chair tentatively, but does not sit down, shaking her head in the negative::

CTO_Cha`Dak says: 
CTO: Aye sir.

PFC_Carver says: 
*XO*: It appears a Glinn Dorchel is the sponsor of this Cardassians mission to the planet we recovered the away team from.

CSO_Nightcloud says: 
::sighs not seeing any signs of that shuttle::

CTO_Cha`Dak says: 
::orders Dolan Trient to take over tactical, and holds the turbolift for the others::

Host Centurion says: 
@::leads her through a door and takes her into a room, sealing the door behind them::

TO_Trient says: 
::steps up to tactical one::

MO_Powers says: 
::starts playing with his medical equipment while reading up on brain surgery::

XO_Storal says: 
*Carver*: Are you sure?

CIV_Torsian says: 
::holsters his phaser and kneels:: Suppec: Tell me, and I can get you off this ship and back into your Uncle's hands.

CSO_Nightcloud says: 
SO: I'm not having much luck, you?

PFC_Carver says: 
*XO*: As sure as we can be of the information from a mortified Cardassian prisoner.

XO_Storal says: 
CEO: Take Mister Powers, they may need medical attention.

Host Jafo says: 
ACTION: As Linard enters the room it is darkly lit, but she can make out the sounds of a jungle environment outside. The room only has one desk ... with a chair on either side ... and seems to have no other obvious amenities. The windows are all slated and she can't see out of any of them.

SO_Bern says: 
::shakes his head:: CSO: Me neither.

CO_Linard says: 
@::remains silent, curious as to what he's going to try::

Host Gil_Suppec says: 
::thinks about it:: CIV: No ... he'll kill me if I tell you where he is. I'll never tell.

CSO_Nightcloud says: 
SO: If the winds picked up the emission trail would have dispersed, I think they have landed already...

CEO_Yeung says: 
::nods to XO::*MO*: John, prepare a medkit, and stand by. You're part of my team to head down to Betazed.

CEO_Yeung says: 
*FDO_Marshal*: Prepare the alert shuttle for launch…

SO_Bern says: 
CSO: That's a good possibility. ::trying to remember things he picked up from the briefing he was sent::

XO_Storal says: 
CSO: You have the bridge, I’m going down to the brig.

CIV_Torsian says: 
Suppec: I can return you to him dead or alive. Right now, I am preparing for dead unless you talk. ::lowers his voice:: Us Marines aren't Starfleet, and I am personally one that hates it. I wouldn't mind joining you, with the knowledge I have ... you'd be a hero.

MO_Powers says: 
*XO*: Yes sir, may I ask what we will be doing sir?

CSO_Nightcloud says: 
XO: Aye sir.

Host Jafo says: 
@::leads her to a chair on one side of the desk and sits Captain Linard down ... then goes around to the other side of the desk, picking up a PADD and referring to it briefly:: CO: I'm sorry that we had to meet under such circumstances ... I'm sure that, normally, we might have gotten along quite well.

CIV_Torsian says: 
::stands and walks to the door of the cell:: Suppec: Or you can be a Martyr.

XO_Storal says: 
*PFC_Carver*: I’m on my way.

Host Gil_Suppec says: 
::looks at Torsian, even he doesn't believe that:: CIV: Umm ... he's on Hynozad.

MO_Powers says: 
::gets a medkit and checks everything is in it::

CTO_Cha`Dak says: 
*SEC_Abbott*: Lieutenant Abbott, meet me in shuttle bay one with weapons provisions for an away team. We'll need four sets of phasers.

Host Jenia_Prue says: 
::timidly:: XO: Can I come with?

CSO_Nightcloud says: 
::steps from his station to join the away team:: SO: Keep on it, Lieutenant.

CO_Linard says: 
@Centurion: Normally ... perhaps. ::gives him a tiny smile::

CIV_Torsian says: 
::pulls his phaser and shoots Suppec between the legs hitting the floor board:: Suppec: Try again.

Host SEC_Abbott says: 
*CTO*: On my way...

SO_Bern says: 
CSO: Will do, sir. ::shakes his head again, decides to have the computer run further analysis on those scattering fields::

TO_Trient says: 
XO: Sir, I’m detecting weapons fire in the brig!

Host Centurion says: 
@::smiles and nods, picking a bit of bloody arm off his uniform:: CO: Your Brikar is quite a creature ... in the Romulan Empire we have great respect for their races strength.

XO_Storal says: 
::looks at her curiously:: Prue: I’m not sure why you would want to go.

PFC_Carver says: 
*XO*: Aye, aye, sir.

CEO_Yeung says: 
Jenia: Could you come with us? We could use your knowledge of Betazed.

Host Gil_Suppec says: 
::screams and rolls into a fetal position::

Host CO_Linard says: 
@Centurion: So you should, he could have easily killed you if it weren't for your guards...

XO_Storal says: 
*Trient*: Get a detail down there now!

MO_Powers says: 
*CEO*: May I ask what we will be doing, sir?

Host Jenia_Prue says: 
::quietly:: XO/CEO: I just want to help find Jaxlt...

CEO_Yeung says: 
*MO*: You're coming just in case the Captain and the others are injured.

CIV_Torsian says: 
Suppec: You ready to talk yet, or should I bring some of my buddies down here to help me?

TO_Verall says: 
::hearing the phaser fire, runs into the room, phaser trained on the CIV:: CIV: What's going on?

CEO_Yeung says: 
*MO*: Head down to shuttlebay one.

XO_Storal says: 
CEO/ Prue: She’s with you. ::grins and nods to  Prue::

TO_Trient says: 
XO: Lieutenant Verall should be down there as well. 

Host Centurion says: 
@::smiles sweetly:: CO: Perhaps... ::sits behind the desk:: CO: I'm curious Captain, what are you and your crew doing on Betazed?

PFC_Carver says: 
Verall: Stand down; everything is all right. ::motions for him to come here::

Host Gil_Suppec says: 
::begins sucking his thumb, ignoring Torsian completely::

MO_Powers says: 
*CEO*: Yes sir.

CEO_Yeung says: 
CTO/CSO/Jenia: Okay, let's go. ::heads to turbolift::

XO_Storal says: 
::enters the turbolift and  heads down to the brig::

CSO_Nightcloud says: 
::joins the team in the turbolift::

Host CO_Linard says: 
@Centurion: Well in case you didn't notice ... this is my homeworld.

MO_Powers says: 
::leaves Doctor Karl in charge of sickbay and heads for transporter room one::

SO_Bern says: 
Self: Why on earth would anyone be using a scattering field for on that planet? ::scratches his head::

TO_Verall says: 
Carver: I'd be more comfortable if you holstered the weapon, sir.

CIV_Torsian says: 
::holsters his phaser and kneels right by Suppec:: Suppec: You are weak for a Cardassian, I can make you strong!

CEO_Yeung says: 
TL: Shuttlebay one.

Host Jenia_Prue says: 
::turns to the CEO and follows him::

PFC_Carver says: 
Verall: Get over here! And keep your voice down!

CSO_Nightcloud says: 
::thinks on something Lieutenant Bern told him::

MO_Powers says: 
::waits for turbolift::

XO_Storal says: 
::enters the brig:: CIV: Report!

CSO_Nightcloud says: 
CEO: Why would someone use a scattering field?

Host CO_Linard says: 
@::knows they didn't go far from the rest of the team's cells and tries to reach Jenia:: ~~~Prue: Jenia ... can you hear me?~~~

TO_Verall says: 
::holsters his own phaser, walking over to Carver::*TO Trient*: Bridge, everything's under control.

CEO_Yeung says: 
::exits with team from turbolift once it arrives::

CSO_Nightcloud says: 
::follows::

CTO_Cha`Dak says: 
CEO: To avoid detection?

PFC_Carver says: 
XO: Sir! Over here! ::motions for the XO to move towards him::

Host Centurion says: 
@::refers to the PADD::CO: Yes, I am well aware of your Betazoid heritage, Captain ... born in the Capital of Medara, if our information is correct.

CTO_Cha`Dak says: 
::looks for D'Layna::

CEO_Yeung says: 
::turns head to CSO as he walks down to shuttlebay one:: CSO: A scattering field? Do you have the coordinates of its center?

CIV_Torsian says: 
Suppec: What do you say, Captain of your own ship?  I have 3 Kaneda Class Fighters, most versatile in all of Starfleet.

XO_Storal says: 
::walks over to Private Carver:: Carver: What is going on?

CSO_Nightcloud says: 
All: Lieutenant Bern mentioned a scattering field being used on Hynozad.

MO_Powers says: 
::enters turbolift:: TL: Shuttlebay One…

PFC_Carver says: 
::whispers:: XO/TO: Forgive gunny's odd tactics, he's not very diplomatic when it comes to prisoner questioning.

CSO_Nightcloud says: 
::taps his combadge::*SO*: Lieutenant Bern, are you detecting any scattering fields on Betazed?

Host Gil_Suppec says: 
::continues to suck his thumb, completely ignoring Torsian as if he isn't even there::

CEO_Yeung says: 
::enters the shuttlebay:: CSO: Someone's got to be hiding something...

XO_Storal says: 
CIV: Mister Torsian, front and center.

SO_Bern says: 
*CSO*: I don't believe so ... I'll run a quick check, to be certain. ::sweeps the surface::

Host SEC_Abbott says: 
::enters the shuttlebay, equipment in hand and looks to her husband eagerly:: CTO: Ready to go sir.

CIV_Torsian says: 
::stands and sighs, exiting the cell:: Iltor: Please close the forcefield. ::hears the XO and stands at attention:: XO: Sir!

CEO_Yeung says: 
::enters the shuttlecraft that was made ready for them, unholsters his phaser, and preps it::

Host Centurion says: 
@CO: So then your presence on Betazed is ... what? Vacation perhaps? With an armed away team...

Host CO_Linard says: 
@::inclines her head:: Centurion: Yes...

XO_Storal says: 
CIV: What are you doing?

MO_Powers says: 
::exits the turbolift and enters shuttlebay one::

CSO_Nightcloud says: 
All: He believed it to be Cardassian in origin. Cardassians and Romulans in this game ... wonder if their intentions are mutual.

CTO_Cha`Dak says: 
Abbott: Lieutenant, I’ll be leaving you in charge of security. Report to the brig once we've left.

Host Centurion says: 
@::nods:: CO: Yes, I often take guards when I vacation on Remus ... but Betazoid is not Remus, Captain. What were you really doing there?

Host CO_Linard says: 
@Centurion: Wouldn't you be armed in the jungle? With the wildlife there, we need some kind of protection...

CIV_Torsian says: 
XO: Questioning the prisoner, sir! We have found that Glinn Dorchel has ordered the search for the Staff, which is what they were looking for sir! The Cardassians I mean.

CTO_Cha`Dak says: 
CSO: I'm wondering when the Breen will make an appearance.

CEO_Yeung says: 
CSO: Either way… ::holsters phaser:: …they aren’t mutual with us.

XO_Storal says: 
CIV: Wait outside, and take your Marines.

CSO_Nightcloud says: 
::nods in agreement:: CTO: The game will definitely be afoot if that happens.

SO_Bern says: 
*CSO*: I don't see anything similar on Betazed ... I guess whoever's operating down there is primarily interested in Hynozad, for whatever reason.

CEO_Yeung says: 
::waits for everyone to get aboard::*FDO_Marshal*: Open the hangar doors.

CIV_Torsian says: 
XO: Sir, yes sir! Carver: Move out! ::walks in stiff military fashion outside of the brig followed by Carver::

XO_Storal says: 
::walks over to the cell:: Iltor: Mister Iltor, lower the field.

Host CO_Linard says: 
@Centurion: We were on a tour ... a trip to see the more lush parts of my planet. ::chuckles:: I never did get to see much of them when I was younger.

CSO_Nightcloud says: 
*SO*: Thank you Lieutenant Bern, if you spot anything unusual on Betazed let us know right away.

PFC_Carver says: 
::follows Gunny outside and stands to the right of the door at attention::

CIV_Torsian says: 
::stands to the left of the door at attention::

SO_Bern says: 
::realigns sensors back to the islands, and increases the power slightly:: *CSO*: Yes sir, Bern out.

BrgGrd_Iltor says: 
::taps the console nearby and lowers the forcefield::

CEO_Yeung says: 
::sits in the pilots seat, and begins startup:: CTO/CSO/MO/Jenia: Everybody take a seat.

Host CO_Linard says: 
@::tries to reach Jenia again, but doesn't even sense her in the vicinity::

CTO_Cha`Dak says: 
::takes a seat::

CSO_Nightcloud says: 
::sits:: All: Off we go … again.

Host Centurion says: 
@::is far from convinced:: CO: No Captain, I don't think you were on a tour. In fact, I think you were in search of the Staff of Khrysaros. Admit it, Captain ... you may not be able to read my mind, but we can certainly read yours.

Host SEC_Abbott says: 
CTO: Aye sir... ::nods briskly and leaves the shuttlebay::

XO_Storal says: 
::enters the cell and stands a few feet from the cowering Cardassian:: Suppec: On your feet.

MO_Powers says: 
CTO: Can I have two phasers please, sir?

Host CO_Linard says: 
@Centurion: So if you know all this, why question me?

CSO_Nightcloud says: 
::checking his tricorder::

FDO_Marshal says: 
::opens hangar doors::

CTO_Cha`Dak says: 
%MO: Two phasers? ::looks on either side of John:: MO: I see only one of you.

CEO_Yeung says: 
::pilots the shuttlecraft out of the Apache, and heads towards the surface of Betazed::

MO_Powers says: 
%CTO: I feel I am more effective with two, sir.

XO_Storal says: 
::lowers his voice and in a Cardassians arrogant tone:: Suppec: Glinn Suppec, you are a Cardassian. Stand on your feet and act like one.

CSO_Nightcloud says: 
%::lifts his pants leg to check the rather large bone handled knife in its sheath in his boot::

CTO_Cha`Dak says: 
%MO: Starfleet regulations only allow one weapon per person in an away team situation as this. One will suffice, Mister Powers. ::hands the MO a single phaser::

PFC_Carver says: 
::shifts as he stands:: Gunny: You’re going to get it now, aren't you?

Host Centurion says: 
@::after a pause:: CO: We have our reasons .... in fact, if that is your mission here then we can release you now. You see, we've already recovered the Staff so there is nothing further to be gained from our conversation.

SO_Bern says: 
::begins a constant, passive sweep of Hynozad, hoping to pick up bits and pieces of data. Has been racking his brain trying to figure out how to glean something from those scans, and that's the best he came up with. Checks what this beeping on the Betazed sweep is all about, now::

CEO_Yeung says: 
%All: Okay, we'll start from where we landed and then head in the same direction that the Romulan shuttle departed.

CIV_Torsian says: 
::stands stiffly and raises an eyebrow:: Carver: As you were Private!

CSO_Nightcloud says: 
%CEO: Aye sir.

CEO_Yeung says: 
%CSO: Nightcloud, I want you and Commander Cha`Dak to scan and see if you can pick up its trail.

PFC_Carver says: 
::looks sharply ahead and shuts up thinking he crossed the line:: CIV: Sir! Yes sir!

SO_Bern says: 
Self: That's odd... COM: CSO: Bern to Lieutenant Nightcloud. I've picked up something on Betazed ... seems insignificant, but maybe it'll help.

CTO_Cha`Dak says: 
%::nods::

CSO_Nightcloud says: 
%CEO: Yes sir. CMO: SO: Go ahead, Lieutenant.

MO_Powers says: 
%CTO: What if you forgot that you had already given me one? ::nudges Cha`Dak and winks at him::

Host CO_Linard says: 
@Centurion: Good, then I can get back to exploring my jungle...

CEO_Yeung says: 
%MO/Jenia: If you two have any insight on what's happening, don't hesitate to say so.

XO_Storal says: 
::whispers:: Suppec: We have met before. Do you not remember?

SO_Bern says: 
*CSO*: There's a higher than normal concentration of photonic particulate in the islands, particularly the southern group. I can't get a very good reading, but I can give you a general location if you'd like to check it out. The shuttle sensors may have better luck if you get in close.

Host Centurion says: 
@::smiles a half smile and nods as he reaches out to his PADD and presses some buttons:: CO: Quite, Captain ... I'm very sorry to have delayed you.

CTO_Cha`Dak says: 
%MO: Then that would indicate I would not be fit for duty, John. Stay your bloodthirstiness, human.

Host Jafo says: 
ACTION: As the Centurion presses the buttons on his PADD the door they came through can be heard sliding open behind Linard.

CSO_Nightcloud says: 
%*SO*: Excellent, Lieutenant Bern … feed us the coordinates.

Host Gil_Suppec says: 
::cowers from Storal, fear evident in his eyes and he hunkers even further under the bunk::

CEO_Yeung says: 
%::pilots the runabout to the skimmer crash site::

CTO_Cha`Dak says: 
%CEO: Photonic particulate?

Host CO_Linard says: 
@::doesn't trust him for half a nanosecond ... begins to rise to her feet::

SO_Bern says: 
::begins the transfer:: *CSO*: You should be receiving now.

CTO_Cha`Dak says: 
%All: I do not understand.

CSO_Nightcloud says: 
%All: Lieutenant Bern picked up an unusual amount of … something … emanating from the southern Piri Islands.

MO_Powers says: 
%CTO: I'll try sir. ::points to his Trill spots::

XO_Storal says: 
Suppec: I am Gul Naltoth of the Obsidian Order. We met several months ago. Do you remember?

Host CO_Linard says: 
@Centurion: Then you'll transport the team and myself back to the my ship then?

Host Centurion says: 
@::looks up from his PADD::CO: There's a guard just outside that door ... he'll see that you are transported back to your vessel safely.

CIV_Torsian says: 
::begins to wonder where he went wrong::

CSO_Nightcloud says: 
%CTO: Think of it as Photon particles but in a very small concentration.

CIV_Torsian says: 
::stands quietly and solemnly awaiting what news there is from the XO on Suppec::

CEO_Yeung says: 
%All: It's a clue, let's go. ::heads towards the coordinates of the photonic particles at good speed::

CTO_Cha`Dak says: 
%CSO: That would indicate some sort of projection or hologram then, yes?

CSO_Nightcloud says: 
%CTO: Could indeed ... a very clever hologram with that low a concentration.

Host CO_Linard says: 
@::eyes him curiously:: Centurion: No escort? Why with such hospitable service before ... I would think you would do the honors yourself.

CSO_Nightcloud says: 
%::looks at the data::

Host Centurion says: 
@::watches her start to go:: CO: I'm actually quite busy. You see we'll of course have to keep the others here ... perhaps one of them will be able to answer my questions. Perhaps the girl ... what was her name, Prue? Yes, she will probably be able to answer our questions about the Staff.

CEO_Yeung says: 
%::turns to Jenia:: Prue: Any idea what was happening in that area currently?

Host Gil_Suppec says: 
::crawls out from under the bunk slightly and looks at Storal:: XO: You don't look like Naltoth...

CTO_Cha`Dak says: 
%::scans for any Romulan biosigns::

Host Jenia_Prue says: 
CEO: No, there shouldn't be anything going on there. It's generally left as a preserve. No Betazoid wants to get anywhere near the 'Whispering Men'.

XO_Storal says: 
::kneels down and motions Suppec to come out from under the  bunk. Suppec: You helped me escape from Glinn Dorchel and helped me to complete my mission. ::looks around and whispers:: I  am on a new mission my old friend.

Host CO_Linard says: 
@Centurion: That's hard to say, since she was our guide in the tour ... she'd be of little service to you.

PFC_Carver says: 
::wonders what the Gunny is thinking and remembers his latest persuasion tactics::

Host Jafo says: 
@::nods and considers:: CO: Perhaps ... but I'm sure you understand that I'll need to determine that for myself. ::waves to the door, for her to go through and turns back to his PADD::

CSO_Nightcloud says: 
%All: If it's a hologram then a phaser burst at the lowest setting should disrupt it.

CTO_Cha`Dak says: 
%Jenia: What can you tell us of these 'Whispering Men'?

XO_Storal says: 
Suppec: We of the Obsidian Order do not forget our allies, and you will be rewarded.

CEO_Yeung says: 
%CSO: Okay, we'll try that.

Host Jenia_Prue says: 
%CEO: No Betazoids live in the region. They'd never risk that kind of constant exposure to the thoughts of the Whispering Men.

CEO_Yeung says: 
%CTO: K'hora, man the guns. We're almost there.

Host CO_Linard says: 
@Centurion: Of course... ::dips her head:: ...will my tactical officer and my Brikar be joining me back to my ship as well?

CTO_Cha`Dak says: 
CEO: Aye sir. ::takes the tactical station::

CEO_Yeung says: 
%::nods to Jenia:: Jenia: But Romulans or Cardassians wouldn't be affected.

CSO_Nightcloud says: 
%::continues to look at the data Bern is uploading to them::

Host Centurion says: 
@CO: Once I am through questioning them ... certainly. It shouldn't be more than ... oh, a week or two.

XO_Storal says: 
Suppec: Will you help me now friend? Dorchel escaped justice before, don’t let him do it again.

Host CO_Linard says: 
@Centurion: I don't think so. You have no need for them. You will release them and myself back to the ship.

CIV_Torsian says: 
::checks his phaser to see if he still has any charge in it then holsters it again and continues to stand stiffly at attention::

Host Gil_Suppec says: 
::shakes head:: XO: No, I could never do that ... Glinn Dorchel is a patriot, a hero to our people.

CTO_Cha`Dak says: 
%CEO: Weapons on standby.

CSO_Nightcloud says: 
%CEO: No change in photonic concentrations.

CEO_Yeung says: 
%CTO: Okay, we're in range of the photonic particles. Let her loose, Commander.

XO_Storal says: 
Suppec: If he was a hero, why did he kill Gul Nereg?

Host Gil_Suppec says: 
XO: Nereg was a traitor, he would have never supported Dorchel’s cause.

Host Centurion says: 
@::sees the Captain isn't leaving:: CO: Does this mean you'll be staying, Captain? Excellent ... I so hoped we'd get a chance to talk more.

Host Jafo says:
