TO_Ens_On`tan`ek says:
::nods::

OPS_Cmdr_Naegle says:
::looks up with interest at what the General is saying::

Host MGen_Nash says:
ALL: Stafleet Command has stepped aside from this matter and Starfleet Intelligence and Marine Corps has stepped in to resolve a matter.

CSO_Lt_Nightcloud says:
::considers that interesting::

OPS_Cmdr_Naegle says:
::raises an eyebrow::

Host MGen_Nash says:
ALL: This is a Black Ops mission, meaning if you are killed or lost, you're family will not know how or why.

FCO_Ens_Ilianor says:
::restrains a shudder at the sound of marine corps::

OPS_Cmdr_Naegle says:

::starts to worry...::

XO_Cmdr_Ramsey says:
Nash: What do we have at our disposal?

Host CO_Captain_Linard says:
::smiles inwardly::

CSO_Lt_Nightcloud says:
::thinks when did we go from Fleet ops to spec ops with no training::

Host MGen_Nash says:
XO: Excellent question. We have 4 platoons of marines, as well as the Indigo and the Apache to offer support.

TO_Ens_On`tan`ek says:
::rethinks his thinking to kill anything that moves::

OPS_Cmdr_Naegle says:
::thinks "A free for all??"::

Host MGen_Nash says:
XO: There are also experimental rifle that will be used for this.

XO_Cmdr_Ramsey says:
Nash: Indigo? I thought she was lost

CEO_Cmndr_Jarek says:
Nash: General, if you have all of those Marines. Why do you need us?

Host MGen_Nash says:
CEO: Navy and Marines always exist to help one another Commander.

Host CO_Captain_Linard says:
CEO: As well, there will be fighting up here Commander...

TO_Ens_On`tan`ek says:
::opens eyes and smiles:: Self: New weapons?

CEO_Cmndr_Jarek says:
::Raises his eyebrow::

Host MGen_Nash says:
XO: The Indigo was meant to be thought lost Commander

FCO_Ens_Ilianor says:
Self: This isn't what I signed up for... Black Ops... What on earth? And Marines...? ::his heart starts to beat a little faster, as the general and the XO continue to discuss plans...::

CTO_Lt_Telgar says:
Nash: Do we have the specs for this rifle?

CEO_Cmndr_Jarek says:
::Throws the Captain a Vulcan look::

OPS_Cmdr_Naegle says:
Nash: I'm sure you know how dangerous this is, General. Why us?

Host MGen_Nash says:
ALL: Lt. Telgar, Ens. On'tan'ek, I'm assigning you to a supportive detail with a group of my marines.

TO_Ens_On`tan`ek says:
::nods to the General::

CTO_Lt_Telgar says:
:: nods :: Nash:  Aye General.

Host MGen_Nash says:
OPS: You are the flag ship of this sector.

CMO_Lt_Powers says:
Nash: As it's Black Ops, do we get the choice weather to take part or not?

Host CO_Captain_Linard says:
::looks at OPS:: OPS: Meaning we get to have more fun now... ::winks without smiling::

OPS_Cmdr_Naegle says:
::nods:: Nash: Okay, makes sense, sir.  Do we have any other backup besides the Indigo?

Host MGen_Nash says:
CMO: You will be need as a field medic Doctor, pack supplies only neccesary.

TO_Ens_On`tan`ek says:
Self: Starfleet must think that since this ship has saved the universe once or twice it can do it forever.

Host MGen_Nash says:
OPS: That is all that will be needed.  CO: You can fill them in on the Apache's part, Captain.

CTO_Lt_Telgar says:
:: looks at her junior officer ::

OPS_Cmdr_Naegle says:
::nods to captain:: CO: Thanks a lot, Captain. ::winks herself::

TO_Ens_On`tan`ek says:
::thinks the CTO is cute for a pink skin::

CMO_Lt_Powers says:
::glances over at Janet with a nervous look on his face::

OPS_Cmdr_Naegle says:
Nash: No disrespect intended sir, but are you sure about that?

CEO_Cmndr_Jarek says:
Self: Sauce for the goose. Sauce for the goose.

Host MGen_Nash says:
OPS: I'll say this, we've been preparing for this for several months....

FCO_Ens_Ilianor says:
Self: We could... we could die, and no one will ever know... ::looks forward, who so happened to be the CTO, with a look of distress and worry::

Host CO_Captain_Linard says:
::comes to her feet:: ALL: Basically, we are to go in, recover the people down on that planet. Obviously, the Cardassians won't let them go willingly... we're to get in and get out... but it's not going to be easy.

OPS_Cmdr_Naegle says:
::nods:: Nash: So all this we've been going through is "preparation?"

Host MGen_Nash says:
CO: Pardon my interuption, but we are to also secure the base......

TO_Ens_On`tan`ek says:
::steeples his hands and puts on a very thoughtfull look::

CMO_Lt_Powers says:
::laughes aloud and stops quickly::

CSO_Lt_Nightcloud says:
FCO: And I thought this was going to be easy....

XO_Cmdr_Ramsey says:
::puts a hand on the CMO's shoulder:: CMO: Is something wrong Lt.?

Host CO_Captain_Linard says:
::nods at Nash:: ALL: Precisely... his operation must be stopped at all costs.

Host MGen_Nash says:
OPS: Commander, contact Horricat on this channel and let him know we will be ready in 15 minutes.::hands her a PADD::

CMO_Lt_Powers says:
XO: It's absurd sir. You can't honestly be serious about this? It could start another war.

OPS_Cmdr_Naegle says:
::takes the PADD:: Nash: Aye, sir.  I'll do it right away.

FCO_Ens_Ilianor says:
CSO: Easy, huh... I can't believe this... this is unreal.

XO_Cmdr_Ramsey says:
CMO: I agree with you. But we are dealing with a rogue faction. They don't want this out in the open anymore than we do.

Host MGen_Nash says:
CEO: Commander Jarek, your expertise will be needed as well.

CTO_Lt_Telgar says:
:: looks at the CMO and raises here eyebrow ::

Host CO_Captain_Linard says:
::looks at the CMO:: CMO: That's why it has to be stopped, Doctor. The Cardassians have signed a treaty with us... this alone puts everything in jeopardy

CEO_Cmndr_Jarek says:
Nash: Sir?

CSO_Lt_Nightcloud says:
FCO: Don't worry...

Host MGen_Nash says:
CEO: I believe you are familiar with the one that seems to be the faction leader.

CEO_Cmndr_Jarek says:
Nash: And that would be ?

CMO_Lt_Powers says:
CO/XO: If given the choice I'd rather go back to the brig, Sirs.

FCO_Ens_Ilianor says:
CSO: Too late... ::closes his eyes for a moment to calm himself down and take deep breaths... and after awhile has maintained his composure...:: CSO: No, it's too late.

XO_Cmdr_Ramsey says:
CMO: I'm afraid there is no choice Lieutenant.

Host CO_Captain_Linard says:
::looks at the CEO:: CEO: Think about it, Commander... who do you know would do something like this?

CMO_Lt_Powers says:
XO: Aye sir.

CEO_Cmndr_Jarek says:
::Stands very slowly::

CSO_Lt_Nightcloud says:
FCO: Remember your training, keep your head, you'll be fine.::nods::

Host CO_Captain_Linard says:
CMO: I understand, John, but I need you at your post.... sickbay is going to be busy...

CEO_Cmndr_Jarek says:
Nash: Is there a Betazoid woman there as well?

CTO_Lt_Telgar says:
:: stands with her PADD in her hand ::

Host MGen_Nash says:
::looks over at the CO:: CEO: I believe you know him as the Shadowman.

CEO_Cmndr_Jarek says:
::Jareks face gets very red with anger::

Host MGen_Nash says:
CEO: There is that possibility, Commander.

Host CO_Captain_Linard says:
::softly:: CEO: We don't know, Commander. If she is then we'll find her and bring her home.

OPS_Cmdr_Naegle says:
::stands up with her PADD in hand::

CEO_Cmndr_Jarek says:
Nash: You do realize this entity will try to kill me at all costs

CMO_Lt_Powers says:
XO: Will I be given a weapon sir?

Host MGen_Nash says:
CEO: That's what we're hoping.

CSO_Lt_Nightcloud says:
CMO: I have medic training if it gets real bad I can lend a hand, can't hardly see where a scientist fits into a battle.::grins::

XO_Cmdr_Ramsey says:
CMO: Of course.. if not you could always use harsh language against the Cardies ::grins::

CEO_Cmndr_Jarek says:
Nash: That will give the rest of you time to complete our mission

CMO_Lt_Powers says:
XO: Or my bedside manner, sir.

Host MGen_Nash says:
::hears the CSO talk:: CSO: I'm glad you volunteered Lieutent, get ready for the away trip as a field medic.

CEO_Cmndr_Jarek says:
Nash: Be clear sir, I will also be trying to kill it!

FCO_Ens_Ilianor says:
::glances upwards as the CSO mentions his medic training:: CMO: I can assist in that regard, as well, if necessary...

XO_Cmdr_Ramsey says:
CMO: Agreed.

CSO_Lt_Nightcloud says:
::winces, "one day I will keep my trap shut"::

CMO_Lt_Powers says:
FCO/CSO: The more the better.

Host MGen_Nash says:
ALL: You all have your assignments, dismissed and prepare for the worst.

CSO_Lt_Nightcloud says:
::looks at Lt Powers and shrugs::CMO: So much for that...

TO_Ens_On`tan`ek says:
::nods:: Self: The General sounds encouraging.

Host CO_Captain_Linard says:
::watches the crew stand and begin to file out::

OPS_Cmdr_Naegle says:
::looks around after being dismissed and starts out the door::

CEO_Cmndr_Jarek says:
::The pupils in Jareks eyes all but disapear::

Host MGen_Nash says:
::walks onto the bridge::

XO_Cmdr_Ramsey says:
Nash: What's the method of extration? They can't be beamed out.

CSO_Lt_Nightcloud says:
::stands slowly, makes his way to sickbay to gather a field pack::

TO_Ens_On`tan`ek says:
::exits and heads to the tactical station::

Host MGen_Nash says:
XO: Shuttles.

OPS_Cmdr_Naegle says:
::walks onto the bridge and goes to her station, relieving V'lynn::

Host MGen_Nash says:
FCO: Take us into the DM Ensign.

CTO_Lt_Telgar says:
:: follows Nash onto the bridge :: Nash: Sir, If I may. Do you have the spec on this rifle you were talking about?

Host CO_Captain_Linard says:
::remains in the lounge by herself, pauses to close her eyes and focus on Ky::

Host MGen_Nash says:
XO: Clear it with your Captain.

OPS_Cmdr_Naegle says:
::sends message to Horricat on the secure channel::

FCO_Ens_Ilianor says:
::exits onto the bridge and takes his seat at the helm:: MGen: Aye, sir. Setting course for the DM. At what speed, sir?

OPS_Cmdr_Naegle says:
Nash: Message sent, General.

XO_Cmdr_Ramsey says:
::nods to Nash and walks over to the Captain:: CO: Sir... you with us?

CSO_Lt_Nightcloud says:
::taps on his communicator badge::*SO*: Rework the duty roster, I am going on a field trip.

Host MGen_Nash says:
FCO: Full impulse.

FCO_Ens_Ilianor says:
MGen: Full impulse, aye. ::inputs the command on his console::

Host CO_Captain_Linard says:
::looks up at the XO:: XO: Yes, Commander.... ::straightens and walks onto the bridge::

CMO_Lt_Powers says:
::exits and heads for sickbay::

CEO_Cmndr_Jarek says:
::Enters his quarters and retrieves a small device that he attaches to his belt::

CTO_Lt_Telgar says:
:: shakes her head and walks to tactical :: TO:  Ensign, have you gone over the tactical personnel files?

CSO_Lt_Nightcloud says:
::enters sickbay, grabbing a field pack, stocking heavy on what will be needed for battle injuries::

XO_Cmdr_Ramsey says:
CO: Sir, with my extensive flight training. I think that it would greatly enhance the success of this mission if I pilot one of the retrieval shuttles.

FCO_Ens_Ilianor says:
MGen: Begging your pardon, sir, but what will be my role for this... mission, aside from possibly assisting the CMO?

TO_Ens_On`tan`ek says:
::nods without looking up:: CTO: I am doing so now Ma'am

Host MGen_Nash says:
::taps Comm badge:: Sgt. Jones: Telgar, On'tan'ek, Nightcloud, and Powers will be joining us on the surface, outfir them with EVA's and the plasma injector rifles.

CEO_Cmndr_Jarek says:
::Checks the power level of the device::

CTO_Lt_Telgar says:
:: hears Nash refer to the rifles and looks over at him ::

Sgt. Jones says:
Nash: Sir, yes Sir! Issue them supplies.

CEO_Cmndr_Jarek says:
::Also retrieves 2 - 18" Vulcan warriors knives and sheathes them::

CMO_Lt_Powers says:
::enters sickbay and packs a medkit for the battle::

TO_Ens_On`tan`ek says:
::frowns:: CTO: Ma'am... we are to use the new weapons without being certified on them?  I recommend we also bring other weapons as backups

CSO_Lt_Nightcloud says:
::looks at Lt Powers as he enters::CMO: Ought to be interesting.

CMO_Lt_Powers says:
Karl: You're going to be incharge of sickbay while I'm on an illegal Black Ops mission. Expect heavy casualties.

CTO_Lt_Telgar says:
TO:  Normally, I'd agree with you Mister On`tan`ek. But in this instance, we would have to clear it with the General.

OPS_Cmdr_Naegle says:
::monitors subspace traffic while maintaining radio silence::

CMO_Lt_Powers says:
CSO: Busy too.

TO_Ens_On`tan`ek says:
::frowns:: CTO: Of course Ma'am

CEO_Cmndr_Jarek says:
::Picks up a phaser, looks at it and puts it back again::

CSO_Lt_Nightcloud says:
::nods:: CMO: At least I got my affairs in order before rejoining the ship.

CTO_Lt_Telgar says:
Nash: Sir, as these rifles are not something my staff and I are certified on, wouldn't it be prudent to bring other weapons as well?

XO_Cmdr_Ramsey says:
::nods to the CO:: CO: ::whispers:: Don't worry, Sir. We will bring him back. ::grins and winks::

CEO_Cmndr_Jarek says:
::Heads for the bridge::

Host CO_Captain_Linard says:
::looks at him:: XO: I was hoping that I would be doing that.... but I can't help thinking I'm better off here.... ::sighs::

Host MGen_Nash says:
ALL: Red Alert, man your battle stations.

XO_Cmdr_Ramsey says:

OPS_Cmdr_Naegle says:

OPS: See if you can reach the Indigo, Commander. We might as well know what the other is doing if this is a joint effort..
