USS Apache - 10505.27 - "In the Shadows", Part IV

The rescue mission has been... successful, and not quite... Team One has succeeded in their objective, to rescue Dr. Reyon... but the Charybda are now in possession of the Federation shuttle... what to do, what to do?

Meanwhile, Team Two has problems of their own... the CNS has been captured by the guards, while the CSO is being pursued on the roof...

The Apache is orbiting the moon, attempting to avoid the antimatter charges, but also detecting a very strange but familiar warp signature...

<<<<<<<<<<<<<<Begin>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>

#ACTION: As the CSO tries to climb down the side of the library, he can see guards congregating down below, as above...

MO_Turok says:
#::Trying to get his bearings in the library::

#ACTION: In the alley down on the surface of Valleywind, several guards pin down the CNS...

Dr_Reyon says:
@::Peaks out from her trench looking down from a cliff at the action below.::

CNS_Solaa says:
#::kicks and screams frantically grabbing for the tricorder::

@ACTION: By the cliff, the action seems to have died down; the contingent of guards has passed, leaving the CMO, CTO and the good Dr. Reyon alone...

CTO_Running_Horse says:
@::has her phaser drawn::

XO_Naegle-Marsland says:
::sitting in her chair on the bridge::

CSO_Marsland says:
#::draws his phaser, concealing it with his coat, looks at the people above as I move around a corner of the building:: ALL: Guarantee me safe passage out of here or I'll kill everyone!

CSO_Marsland says:
#*MO*: Contact the Apache and get the 3 of us beamed out!

XO_Naegle-Marsland says:
FCO V'Taran: Can you get a better bearing on that warp signature?

CNS_Solaa says:
#Aloud: AHHHHHH!

FCO V’Taran says:
XO: I cannot be sure. But it bears investigating, I would imagine... I'm having the computer check its identity now, sir.

CNS’ Guard says:
@CNS: If you stop struggling, it will be less painful.

CMO_Powers says:
#OPS/CTO/Reyon: That's our mission complete. Better call the Apache and get picked up.

XO_Naegle-Marsland says:
V'Taran: Very good. Let me know what you find out.

CNS_Solaa says:
#::kicks the guard in the face::

MO_Turok says:
#*Apache*: Apache, Turok here we need an immediate emergency transport of the CSO, CNS and myself.

CTO_Running_Horse says:
@CMO: Need to get the shuttle back first.  I need to get not only us out of here but attempt to find the CNS and CSO and take them also.
CSO’s Guard says:
#CSO: Don't be foolish. We have fifteen weapons aimed in your direction.

Dr_Reyon says:
@CTO: Is there anything I can do to help?

@ACTION: The guards kick the CNS' stomach, as they hoist her upwards... the commander looks her square in the eyes.

CSO_Marsland says:
#Guards:  And I have a weapon here that if I'm killed will explode, destroying everything in this block.  It's fed directly from my neural activity.. Back down right now or I'll trigger it.

CNS_Solaa says:
#::is winded but still fighting hard:: Guards: LET ME GO!!!

CMO_Powers says:
@CTO: Our orders were to retrieve the doctor. We were not asked to deal with the shuttle and the other team is to make its own way back.

CSO_Marsland says:
#*MO*: Head to the roof and stun the guards there.. I'm coming up.

FCO V’Taran says:
XO: Sir, we're getting a message from Dr. Turok, requesting beam-out.

CNS_Solaa says:
#Guards: BARBARIC PEOPLE!

XO_Naegle-Marsland says:
V'Taran: Are we in range?

CTO_Running_Horse says:
@Dr. Reyon: Sir I need to find the shuttle first and secure it........But CMO: Suppose our people are in trouble and the ship is out of range for one reason or the other, who is going to rescue the other team?

MO_Turok says:
#*CSO*: Aye sir.

CNS_Solaa says:
#::still kicking she scratches the face of the closest guard::

FCO V’Taran says:
XO: No, not from behind the moon, we'll have to move closer to the planet... and... ::he pauses...:: The computer has identified the warp signature. It's Romulan.

MO_Turok says:
#*Shuttle*: Shuttle, Turok here, anyone on board? ::Begins moving toward the roof::

CMO_Powers says:
@CTO: In trouble? How could they possibly get into trouble? All they have to do is walk around a bit and visit a library. What could possibly go wrong?

XO_Naegle-Marsland says:
V'Taran: Romulan? Are you sure?  And tell Dr. Turok that we are out of range and cannot risk getting in range right now.

@ACTION: The entire team of Charybda scientists jumps back as they hear a voice coming from one of the panels...

Dr_Reyon says:
@CTO: Maybe I can help.  I've been monitoring the people.

CSO_Marsland says:
#*Shuttle*: Computer: Lock on to this commbadge and beam me up.

CTO_Running_Horse says:
#Dr. Reyon: You have what????  Well don't stand there make some more noise.

FCO V’Taran says:
::nods:: XO: I am absolutely sure... the warp signature seems to be isolated to the northern hemisphere, it's very faint though. Almost like a shuttlecraft on the surface...

CNS’ Guard says:
@CNS: Whatever you say. Now, tell me... who are you, and what do you want? Why are you running?

XO_Naegle-Marsland says:
V'Taran: Warn the teams.

CMO_Powers says:
@CTO: Now, how were we supposed to contact the ship? It was with flags or something...

MO_Turok says:
#::Reaches the roof and quietly  peers out to assess the situation::

FCO V’Taran says:
::nods:: XO: In the meantime... what are your orders, sir?

CNS_Solaa says:
#Guard: Let me go and I'll tell you! I promise I won't run...

Dr_Reyon says:
@CTO:  Do we know where the ship is?  Do you have a way to contact them?

CTO_Running_Horse says:
@CMO: If we can get to the shuttle, I can get us back to the ship and transport the other team onto the shuttle and leave.

CSO_Marsland says:
#*Shuttle*: This is SF lieutenant, authorization 990927-001. Beam me up, now, military override.

#ACTION: The guards pin the CNS against the wall, and five guards raise their weapons at her as the two guards holding her back release her against the wall...

XO_Naegle-Marsland says:
V'Taran: Just stay hidden.  I imagine the teams have found the shuttle and are securing it now.

CNS_Solaa says:
#Guards: Look! I just need to get that... that thing ::points to the tricorder on the ground:: It is HIGHLY volatile and could explode any minute if I don't take care of it!

#ACTION: The CSO is beamed into the shuttle... completely surrounded by even more bewildered scientists...

CMO_Powers says:
@CTO: What makes you think the other team is ready to leave?

CNS_Solaa says:
#Guards: All I gotta do is just disarm it! It's a terrorist bomb... THAT's why I was running!

Dr_Reyon says:
@CMO/CTO:  Perhaps maybe we should go find them?

CNS_Solaa says:
#Guards: I was saving the Library!

CTO_Running_Horse says:
@*CSO*: You better do a wide stun setting on the people around you and fast.

FCO V’Taran says:
::nods:: *Teams One, Two*: Be on the lookout for possible Romulan activity.

CNS’ Guard says:
#CNS: From what?

CSO_Marsland says:
@::holds his weapon at them quickly changing it to wide stun:: ALL: Back up, against the wall, NOW.

MO_Turok says:
#::Sets his phaser to its widest stun setting possible and opens fire on the unsuspecting guards::

CNS’ Guards says:
#::they step a little closer towards the tricorder... sniffing it...::

CNS_Solaa says:
#Guards: THAT ::points to the tricorder again:: bomb!

#ACTION: The guards on the library roof are stunned.

CNS_Solaa says:
#Guards: Look, you can point your guns at me while I do it, I just gotta do it!

CNS_Solaa says:
#Guards: DON'T GET TOO CLOSE!!!

CMO_Powers says:
@Reyon: No, it was hard enough finding you. CTO: The shuttle is most likely damaged due to the crash. If it wasn't I doubt the doctor would be here. If you're that worried about it being left behind we can destroy it... if you have any explosives.

ACTION: The shuttle on the surface of the moon begins to power up...

CTO_Running_Horse says:
@*CSO*: Stun them and get us into the shuttle by transport.  I have a feeling that the other team might be in a bad situation.

MO_Turok says:
#::Collects the guards’ weapons and looks for the CSO::

CNS’ Guards says:
#::they quickly step back... looking towards the CNS...:: CNS: Well, do something about it!

CNS_Solaa says:
#::breaks free from the guards and quickly opens the back of the tricorder and proceeds to totally dismantle it::

FCO V’Taran says:
XO: Slight problem, sir. The shuttle is powering up... I am uncertain if they have detected us or not. Most likely if we can see them, they can see us.

CSO_Marsland says:
@::ires at the scientists and shoves them out of the shuttle, locking the doors::

CNS_Solaa says:
#Guards: I'm a bomb technician... I know what I'm doing... ::tries to look scientific while just ripping out its insides::

@ACTION: The scientists step back... mesmerized by what they've just seen...

XO_Naegle-Marsland says:
::looks grim:: Self: Dammit!  V'Taran: I'm open to suggestions.

CNS_Solaa says:
#::looks around for the skin scanning device she also dropped::

@ACTION: In the distance, a contingent of Charybda guards come running by... and they are flanked by a small group of Romulans...

MO_Turok says:
#*CSO*: Your location sir?

CSO_Marsland says:
@::waits for the doors to shut, and accesses transporters trying to beam out the CNS and MO::

CMO_Powers says:
@::sees the Romulans:: Self: What the...

CNS’ Guard says:
#CNS: Be careful now, you here? ::frowns, watching her work::

CNS_Solaa says:
#Aloud: Ah... there you are... ::grabs the device and proceeds to smash it against the ground::

CMO_Powers says:
@CTO/Reyon: Maybe we should have a chat with the Romulans and see what's going on.

ACTION: The shuttle rises from the moon's surface, and moves towards the Apache's location, hailing them...

CNS_Solaa says:
#Guards: Look... I told you I know what I'm doing... do YOU know how to calmly take care of a bomb??? Didn't think so... ::keeps destroying the skin device::

CSO_Marsland says:
@::tries to beam the CTO, CMO, and Dr. Reyon into the shuttle::

Dr_Reyon says:
@CMO:  I'm game.  If we stick together, how bad can it be, right?

CNS’ Guards says:
#::jumps back as the CNS smashes the tricorder::

CMO_Powers says:
@Reyon: It's not like we're at war with them or anything.

CMO_Powers says:
@::starts heading towards the Romulans::

CTO_Running_Horse says:
@::sees the Romulans:: @Dr. Reyon:  If memory serves the Romulans are looking for you I believe.

@ACTION: The CTO, CMO and Dr. Reyon are beamed into the shuttle, as the guards and the Romulans begin to besiege the shuttle...

Dr_Reyon says:
@CMO:  I agree.  CTO:  Is that good?  Or bad?  ::Follows the CMO.::

MO_Turok says:
#::Not seeing the CSO, begins looking for the CNS::

CMO_Powers says:
@::looks around:: Self: What the...

CNS_Solaa says:
#::goes back to inspecting the tricorder... trying to bide her time...::

CTO_Running_Horse says:
@Dr. Reyon: In your case bad  ::feels the tingle of the transporter::

CSO_Marsland says:
@ALL: Welcome aboard all, let's get out of here. ::Activates engine power up and tries to hover off the surface::

Dr_Reyon says:
@::Materializes inside the shuttle just as her last line is said.::  CTO:  I guess that's a little too late to ask.

@ACTION: The Romulans begin firing at the shuttle with their firearms, as the shuttle rocks, still on the surface... attempting to lift off...

XO_Naegle-Marsland says:
::notes the hail from the Romulan shuttle:: V'Taran: Put the hail on speakers.

CSO_Marsland says:
@::tries again to beam in the MO and CNS, while lifting off and heading towards the city::

CMO_Powers says:
@CSO: You're not supposed to be here... why are the Romulans shooting at us...isn't that an act of war?

CNS_Solaa says:
#Guards: Yeah... sorry I looked like a criminal back there... I was just trying to be covert...

CSO_Marsland says:
@Dr_Reyon: Take the helm, please. This is your shuttle after all.

CTO_Running_Horse says:
@CSO: We are going to be heavy sir need to boost the engines.

ACTION: The hail from the Romulan shuttle is put on the speakers... and on the viewscreen... a Centurion can be seen at the front.

CNS_Solaa says:
#Guards: And sorry for the kick in the face, man... ::nods to the guard who she kicked in the face::

Centurion says:
COM: Apache: You will leave this system IMMEDIATELY.

Dr_Reyon says:
@::Sits behind the helm.::  CSO:  Where to?

CMO_Powers says:
@::has a look around the shuttle for any critical damage::

XO_Naegle-Marsland says:
COM: Romulan Shuttle: And if we don’t?

CTO_Running_Horse says:
@CMO: We better let the ship know we are airborne and coming home hot and fast.

@ACTION: The Romulans' shots ring true... one of the shots hits the shuttle's port thrusters, sending the shuttle crashing back down to the surface...

CMO_Powers says:
@CSO/CTO/Reyon: Anyone have a white flag?

Centurion says:
COM: Apache: If you don't, we will destroy you.

ACTION: Next to the shuttle, two War birds decloak...

CSO_Marsland says:
@::sighs:: ALL: That's it, I've had enough.  ::brandishes his phaser:: CMO: How about we go kick some butt? Dr.: Try beaming our CNS and MO in here.  They're right.. ::points to the screen:: ...there.

Centurion says:
COM: Apache: Charybdis is ours. We will allow you to leave NOW.

CMO_Powers says:
@CSO: I wonder if they have any Romulan ale they wish to sell.

XO_Naegle-Marsland says:
::raises an eyebrow:: COM:Romulan Shuttle: Charybdis is no one's,  Charybdis belongs to the Charybda.  You are the ones who will leave ::motions to have the connection disconnected::

Dr_Reyon says:
@::Gracefully lands the shuttle as it is shot down.::CSO:  Aye, ::presses a few buttons to try to lock onto their signatures.::  Trying to lock onto them.

CMO_Powers says:
@::finds something white to wave and makes sure he has a red cross armband clearly showing before heading out of the shuttle::

XO_Naegle-Marsland says:
Tactical Officer: Target the war birds and fire on my mark.
FCO V’Taran says:
::nods:: XO: Connection has been severed. Orders, ma'am? The Romulans are adopting an offensive configuration...

Dr_Reyon says:
@::Amplifies the signal strength to try to lock onto the CNS and MO.::

CSO_Marsland says:
@Reyon: Try to just use impulse drive... We might live. ::turns to the CTO:: CTO: Try to use the shuttle's weapons to take out these Romulans.

TO Huffman says:
::nods:: XO: Target locked.

XO_Naegle-Marsland says:
V'Taran: Keep us moving. Don't give them a clear shot.

CSO_Marsland says:
@CMO: Doctor, get back in here!

MO_Turok says:
#::Continues searching for the CNS::

Dr_Reyon says:
@::Activates impulse engines.::  CSO:  Taking us back up.  Transferring extra power to weapons.

CMO_Powers says:
@::starts heading towards the Romulans:: Romulans: I don't suppose you have any ale do you? I'm dying for a drink.

@ACTION: All around the shuttle, all along the cliff, various media interests and news teams can be seen, extremely interested in what's going on...

CMO_Powers says:
@::waives the white flag::

CTO_Running_Horse says:
@CSO: you got it sir.  ::takes aim with the shuttles phasers and starts firing at the Romulans.

Dr_Reyon says:
@::Takes the shuttle into the air away from the Romulans.::  CSO:  I think I can get a transporter lock on the CMO if you want, Sir.

@ACTION: The Romulans assembled raise their weapons, aimed at the CMO::
Romulan says:
@CMO: One more step and you die.

XO_Naegle-Marsland says:
Huffman: Very good.

CSO_Marsland says:
@Reyon: If you can, do it.  But get us into the atmosphere.

CMO_Powers says:
@Romulans: Whoa, hang on... I only wanted a drink.

CSO_Marsland says:
@Reyon: Out of sight, out of mind, I always say.

CTO_Running_Horse says:
@ALL: What ever it is you are going to do, do it fast.

ACTION: The War birds begin to move forward, attempting to surround the Apache... as the Apache tries to maneuver her way out...

Dr_Reyon says:
@::Quickly activates transporter to lock onto the CMO and takes the shuttle up into the air.::

Dr_Reyon says:
@CSO: Well .. I've got good news .. And bad news.  The good news is we're away from the Romulans.  The bad news is the CMO is not.

Romulan Guard says:
@CMO: Then you are a fool.

CSO_Marsland says:
@CTO: See if you can fix transporters, I'm not leaving without our teams.

CMO_Powers says:
@::sees the shuttle:: Self: Idiots, are they trying to get me killed?

CSO_Marsland says:
@Reyon: Keep us in high orbit away from the planet and station.

@ACTION: The shuttle moves up, leaving the CMO at the mercy of the Romulans...

CSO_Marsland says:
@COM: Apache: Apache, come in please.  We're in a bit of a jam down here!

Dr_Reyon says:
@::Maintains a steady orbit around the planet.::

CTO_Running_Horse says:
@CSO: Understood sir.  ::moves to the console that houses the transporter controls and pulls the panel off and begins to re wire the controls and overriding the safeties to get the transporter working::

CMO_Powers says:
@Romulan: No need for the guns just because I'm a fool.

CSO_Marsland says:
@CTO: Let me know if you get it fixed.. ::furrows his brow::

XO_Naegle-Marsland says:
COM: CSO: Tom, We've got a situation up here as well.  We've got two Romulan war birds trying to stake a claim on the planet.  Stand by.

@ACTION: Several of the Romulan guards grab the CMO, binding his hands with cuffs.

CTO_Running_Horse says:
@CSO: I should have it fixed in like two or three minutes I think.

Dr_Reyon says:
@::Several lights flash across her screen.::  CTO:  Whoa!  What you doing back there?  My console is flashing like a Christmas tree.

ACTION: One of the war birds fires a warning shot... direct at the Apache's starboard nacelle.

CSO_Marsland says:
@COM: Apache: Well, if you can hightail it here and beam us up, this shuttle, plus the Doctor who's in custody of the Romulans and the CNS and MO still in the city I'd appreciate it.

MO_Turok says:
#::Yelling loudly:: CNS: RYN! Where are you?

CMO_Powers says:
@Romulans: This is rather rude, and something that won't be looked too kindly on by my superiors.

CNS_Solaa says:
#Guards: Well... I'm done, I guess... Thanks to me, you're lives are saved. ::is triumphant::

@ACTION: Behind the panels, the transporter relays are a mess... it will take a lot of bypassing work.

CTO_Running_Horse says:
@Dr. Reyon: Sorry but it is necessary.  Your panel should return to normal.

XO_Naegle-Marsland says:
Huffman: Now's your chance, return fire, lock on to their weapons.

CTO_Running_Horse says:
@CSO: Sir this is a mess behind here.  I am going to have to do a lot of bypassing here.

CNS_Solaa says:
#::thinks she hears her name being called:: Guards: We'll it's a good thing I got HERE when I did... ::emphasizes her words::
Guard says:
#CNS: Thank you. Now, you're coming with us. ::grabs the CNS and drags her towards a police car::

Romulan Guards says:
@CMO: That is of no consequence. You are now a prisoner of the Romulan Star Empire.

CSO_Marsland says:
@CTO: Get to work.. ::Turns to Reyon:: Reyon: See if you can find a spot near this library out of sight to land.

CNS_Solaa says:
#Guards: I don't THINK so... I hope you know you are dealing with a very powerful person...

CMO_Powers says:
@Romulan: Prisoner!? I could be of use to you and I'm very cheap too.

@ACTION: With much work, the CTO manages to get the transporters functional...

CTO_Running_Horse says:
@Self: Damn it burned my finger.

CSO_Marsland says:
@CTO: Are they working?

ACTION: Ens. Huffman nods, and fires weapons at the lead War bird... barely scratching her systems, but they move off ever so slightly...

CTO_Running_Horse says:
@CSO: Transporters fixed lets bring it.

Dr_Reyon says:
@CSO:  Working on it.  ::Plots a course for a nearby ledge about 50 feet away from the library.::  CSO: Landing, Sir.  ::Takes the shuttle behind a ledge.::

CMO_Powers says:
@Romulan: You know, a man inside as it were.

CSO_Marsland says:
@::attempts to beam up the CNS and MO::

CNS_Solaa says:
#::insteps the guard holding her with her nasty high-heeled boot and takes off running again::

XO_Naegle-Marsland says:
Huffman: Damage to their vessel?

CMO_Powers says:
@Romulan: I'm sure the Tal Shiar would be interested in an opportunity like that.
Guards say:
#CNS: Save it. You are being taken to Interrogation Centre 304. Anything you say will be used against you in a court of law. Your rights as a citizen are hereby terminated. If you have any questions, you are not at liberty to ask them at this time. ::the guards push her into the car::

@ACTION: The lock on the MO is successful and he is beamed to the shuttle...
TO Huffman says:
XO: Negligible, sir. We're no match for them.

XO_Naegle-Marsland says:
Huffman: Pity.

XO_Naegle-Marsland says:
V'Taran: Hope your flying skills are up to snuff, V'Taran.  We're going to need them.

CNS_Solaa says:
#::screams:: Guards: I will not be taken!!!

Romulan says:
@::he turns around, and punches the CMO square on the jaw, knocking him out... as he's dragged into an armored vehicle, reinforced, Romulan design...::

CSO_Marsland says:
@MO: Welcome aboard Turok.  All: Dammit, why didn't the CNS get beamed up!!! ::scans for human biosigns, locating the CNS::

CNS_Solaa says:
#::smashes her foot into the guards face as they try to push her in the car::

MO_Turok says:
@All: What... whets happening? Where's Ryn?

CSO_Marsland says:
@Reyon: Set course for that biosign.

CMO_Powers says:
@::is appalled at the Romulan's rudeness and knocked out::

#ACTION: The door is closed, and the vehicle rushed off to the nearby interrogation facility...

Dr_Reyon says:
@CSO:  Aye.  ::Lays in a course.  Tries to get a lock onto the CNS.::

ACTION: The war birds commence their full-on assault, firing in tandem at the Apache, causing significant damage...

FCO V’Taran says:
XO: I'm trying, sir, but they're too large and too powerful...

Dr_Reyon says:
@CSO:  I have a lock on her signature.  Trying to beam her up.

XO_Naegle-Marsland says:
V'Taran: It's okay.

XO_Naegle-Marsland says:
Huffman: Fire torpedoes at their warp drives.

TO Huffman says:
::continues to fire at the War birds...:: XO: It might be more tactically sound to leave the system... and perhaps return at a later time for the away teams. We can't stay here, sir.

CSO_Marsland says:
@::spots the vehicle, taps his commbadge and yells into the vehicle through it:: *CNS*: Driver of the vehicle!!! Pull over or you will be destroyed, as well as your fair interrogation/prison facility.

Charybda Driver says:
@::he quickly looks behind:: CNS: WHO IS THAT?

XO_Naegle-Marsland says:
Huffman: Agreed, V'Taran: Get us out of here.

CNS_Solaa says:
#Driver: My boss.

@ACTION: The CMO is awakened... inside the armored vehicle, by chemical means... surrounded by Romulans... he is tightly bound onto a table...

CNS_Solaa says:
#Driver: Do what he says. Or you're gonna get it.

CSO_Marsland says:
@CTO: Stop that vehicle.  Put a crater in front of it if you have to.

CNS_Solaa says:
#Driver: I told you not to mess with me... ::says nonchalantly::

CMO_Powers says:
@Romulans: Hey lads... changed your minds about that drink?

CSO_Marsland says:
@Reyon: Keep on them... we're getting her out of there.

Charybda Driver says:
#::stops the vehicle, not entirely sure what to do...::

Romulans says:
#CMO: Why are you here?

CSO_Marsland says:
@*CNS*: Now, driver.  Stop and bring the woman outside. Leave her there and drive away.

FCO V’Taran says:
::nods, and quickly spins the Apache around, and heads away from Charybda III... the War birds are not pursuing...::

XO_Naegle-Marsland says:
V'Taran: Contact the teams and tell them what's going on.

Charybda Driver says:
@::looks to the CNS:: *CSO*: We will do no such thing.

CNS_Solaa says:
#Driver: Do it.

CSO_Marsland says:
@::fires a warning shot in front of the vehicle:: *CNS*: NOW!

CNS_Solaa says:
#Driver: He's not kidding....

FCO V’Taran says:
::nods:: *Teams One, Two*: We are being forced to leave the system, after being attacked by the Romulans.

@ACTION: The driver swerves the vehicle as a shot comes sailing down from the heavens... he quickly stops the vehicle.

CSO_Marsland says:
@*CNS*: I said, BRING HER OUT NOW!

CNS_Solaa says:
#Driver: Good boy. Now let me out.

Charybda Driver says:
@CNS: Get out, get out, damn it! ::he pops open the door, and holds his head between his knees::

CMO_Powers says:
#Romulan: What are you talking about? I live here.

MO_Turok says:
@CSO: They are going to leave us!

CNS_Solaa says:
#::hops daintily out of the vehicle like nothing happened::

CSO_Marsland says:
@Reyon: Bring the shuttle down now.

CSO_Marsland says:
@*CNS*: Now, drive away.

CMO_Powers says:
#Romulan: Who... what are you? You don't look like a Charybda

Dr_Reyon says:
@::Lands the shuttle.::  CSO:  I have a lock!

CNS_Solaa says:
#Driver: Thanks for the ride, baby. ::winks::

CSO_Marsland says:
@Reyon: Beam her inside then.

Romulans says:
#CMO: No games. We know you're not Charybda. Once again, why are you here?

@ACTION: The CNS, still hopping, is beamed onto the shuttle.

CMO_Powers says:
#Romulan: I'm on holiday. I wanted to rough it on this planet.

#ACTION: The Romulan punches the CMO once again on the jaw, very nearly dislocating it...

CSO_Marsland says:
@Reyon: Okay, now let's head for that drunk of a doctor...

Dr_Reyon says:
@::Beams the CNS onto the shuttle.::  CNS:  Welcome aboard!

CNS_Solaa says:
@To person sitting up front: WELL IT'S ABOUT DAMN TIME!!!

CSO_Marsland says:
@::grins at the CNS:: CNS: Forgive me for shooting you now?

TO Huffman says:
::sighs a ragged sigh, as he looks to the XO:: XO: Well, that's that.

CTO_Running_Horse says:
@CSO: Let’s get going sirs.

CMO_Powers says:
#Romulan: You know, see the sites... try the alcohol... oww... that hurt.

CNS_Solaa says:
@Aloud: Yeesh... Almost got interrogated...

Dr_Reyon says:
@::Takes the shuttle to the CMO's coordinates.::

CSO_Marsland says:
@Reyon: See if you can beam him out when we get there...

CSO_Marsland says:
@CNS: Your fiancé decided to go off with Romulans to see if he could get a drink instead of sticking with us....

#ACTION: The armored vehicle moves into an elevator, and begins to descend into the underground... for more intensive interrogations...

Dr_Reyon says:
@::Arrives at the coordinates, and tries to get a fix on the doctor.::  CSO:  I can't get a lock on his biosign.  I need more power.

CMO_Powers says:
#Romulan: Now, about that drink...

CNS_Solaa says:
@CSO: Oh, that sounds like him...

CSO_Marsland says:
@Reyon: Well, we don't have anymore... can you locate the Apache? We do have warp.

Romulans says:
#CMO: You tell me what I want to hear, and I will consider granting your request.

CMO_Powers says:
#Romulan: What do you want to hear?

CNS_Solaa says:
@CSO: You mind un-cuffing me? ::holds out her hands::

CSO_Marsland says:
@::uncuffs the CNS::

Romulans says:
#CMO: State your purpose here. Your mission. Who sent you.

CTO_Running_Horse says:
@::starts to pull the panel off on the power conduits and sees that they are kind of different than what she is used to seeing::

CSO_Marsland says:
@Reyon: Set a course out the back side of the system to the Apache.. Stay away from the war birds... ::looking at sensors::

CMO_Powers says:
#Romulan: Starfleet sent me to pick up a Trill scientist and have a look around.

FCO V’Taran says:
XO: The war birds are not pursuing. Meanwhile, the Apache sustained heavy damage. Hull breaches on decks 8, 9, 10. Emergency forcefields are in place.

Dr_Reyon says:
@CSO:  You want me to try to slip away right under their noses?  That's going to be tricky, but I see a debris field.  Maybe it will mask our signature.

XO_Naegle-Marsland says:
V'Taran: Thank you.  Any response from the Away Teams?

CNS_Solaa says:
@CSO: Thanks... ::rubs her hands and turns to the woman flying the shuttle:: Glad to see we got Reyon...

Romulans says:
#::eyes the CMO:: CMO: State your name, rank, ship of posting.

Dr_Reyon says:
@CNS:  Yes, thanks for coming to get me.  ::Takes the shuttle toward the Apache, slipping into a debris field, hoping it will mask their signature.::  ALL:  Hold on everyone, this could get a little rough.

#ACTION: The armored vehicle stops moving, and the doors are popped open... the table, as well as everyone inside, are moved out into a vast facility...

FCO V’Taran says:
XO: No, ma'am. But they received our message.

CMO_Powers says:
#Romulan: Ale first... telling you absolutely everything you want to know and probably some stuff you didn't later

CSO_Marsland says:
@COM: Apache: Apache, come in. We're hiding in a debris field at the edge of the system...

CNS_Solaa says:
@CSO: Look... we need to get John.

CNS_Solaa says:
@CSO: If he's drunk... he'll tell them EVERYTHING.

XO_Naegle-Marsland says:
V'Taran: Thank you.

@ACTION: The shuttle moves silently, past the war birds, and is on its way for the Apache...

CTO_Running_Horse says:
@CSO: Did you get anymore power from the systems?

CMO_Powers says:
#Romulan: I can get quite chatty with a few ales in me.

Romulans says:
#CMO: We dictate the terms here. Your name, rank, ship of posting!

TO Huffman says:
XO: We have a vessel approaching... it's Dr. Reyon's shuttle.

CMO_Powers says:
#Romulan: The ale would be a lot cheaper and easier way to get what you want.

CSO_Marsland says:
@CTO: Not from this shuttle.. It’s too old.

CSO_Marsland says:
@COM: Apache: Marsland here, requesting to dock...::turns to Reyon:: Reyon: Take us in.

CMO_Powers says:
#Romulan: Plus, how do you know I don't have a suicide capsule hidden somewhere?

Romulan says:
#:smiling, she gestures to an aide, who pours a small shot of Romulan ale... she brings it close to the CMO to sniff::

XO_Naegle-Marsland says:
COM:CSO: Good to hear you.  Come on in!

CMO_Powers says:
#Romulan: A shot! I wouldn't tell you your name for that.

CTO_Running_Horse says:
@Self: Blasted thing.

Romulan says:
#::snarling, she tosses the entire shot glass' worth into the CMO's face::

CSO_Marsland says:
@COM: Apache. Bad news. I have everyone but the CMO.. The Romulans have him.

CTO_Running_Horse says:
@:replaces the panel and gets back up and into her chair::  Self: Failed again.
