USS Apache - Away Team - 10507.29

The away team is currently in the Romulan shuttle, fifteen minutes away from the Romulan neutral zone, heading for Dessica... 

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

XO_Naegle-Marsland says:
:: in the shuttle, hoping for the best::

MO_Turok says:
::Working on the owner of the vessel as he lays on the floor of the shuttle::

CSO_Marsland says:
::sitting on the shuttle, at a console, in a chair... checking his sensors::

ACTION: Space is silent, except for a few sentry vessels released by the Trade station, trying to find the shuttle... but while she's cloaked, that may be difficult...

CO_Storal says:
::taking advantage of the time before reaching Dessica, he decides to look around the shuttle::

EO_Daniels says:
::At her station monitoring the energy screen generator.::

EO_Daniels says:
CO:  Captain, if we stay at high warp, when we approach the RNZ, it is possible for our ship to be detected on motion sensors.

CO_Storal says:
EO:No we will have to go and cruise by. CSO: Do they have any detection grid up?

EO_Daniels says:
CO:  Suggest scanning the area for anti-proton beams as well, Sir, which may give away our cloak.

CSO_Marsland says:
CO: They don't normally, but let me see if I can get these scanners to pick up anything, Sir. ::fiddles with the controls on the shuttle to try and get an answer::

CNS_Solaa says:
ALL: Maintaining current heading and speed.

CO_Storal says:
EO:I believe that Mr. Marsland is on that already Cadet. But thanks for the suggestion. ::grins at the young officer::

XO_Naegle-Marsland says:
CO: Ah, youth.  Remember those days, sir?

CSO_Marsland says:
CO: Yes sir, they have a grid activated to try and find us.

CNS_Solaa says:
::wheels around suddenly:: CO: Where did SHE come from??? ::indicating the EO::

CO_Storal says:
XO:Indeed Janet. ::chuckles::

CO_Storal says:
CSO:Is there any ships headed to Dessica that we can piggy back on?

XO_Naegle-Marsland says:
CO: Seems like only yesterday we were just entering the Apache for the first time.

CNS_Solaa says:
::is slightly confused:: EO: Sorry... I meant no disrespect... I-I guess I didn't see you come in...

EO_Daniels says:
CNS:  It's okay Ensign.. ::Looks at the pips.::  I mean Lt.  I'm just trying to do my job.

CSO_Marsland says:
CO: Yes Sir, there a quite a few freighters crossing the neutral zone.

ACTION: The shuttle is three minutes away from the RNZ... there are several border checkpoints along the RNZ, set up by the Federation... just on the Federation side of the RNZ...

CNS_Solaa says:
Self: Am I going blind? Hmm... guess I'd better pay better attention to my surroundings... ::turns back to her console::

CNS_Solaa says:
CO: ETA to RNZ... Three minutes, sir.

CO_Storal says:
CNS:I want you to get as close as you can to one of those freighters. Right behind them. We will be disguised in their impulse wake. Match speed and heading.

EO_Daniels says:
CO:  Captain, suggest shutting down all unnecessary systems so that we are not detected.

CSO_Marsland says:
::looks over at the CNS and the CO, and points to a freighter on the screen:: CNS/CO: I think that one should do, just fine.

CO_Storal says:
EO:Agreed. Switch to secondary systems.

CNS_Solaa says:
::types quickly on her console:: ALL: Going in...

EO_Daniels says:
::Nods to the Captain, and switches to secondary systems.::  CO:  Also, suggest letting the momentum from the engines carry us over the border through the sensor grid and shutting down engines.

CO_Storal says:
EO:Make it happen...

XO_Naegle-Marsland says:
::even though she has confidence that this will work, says a short prayer::

CSO_Marsland says:
CO: Things might get a bit turbulent.. we'll need to be as close in as possible to the freighter.

CNS_Solaa says:
CSO: I'm on it Tom... things don't just happen instantaneously...

ACTION: The shuttle approaches the hauler, hidden in its wake, as the ship prepares to cross into the RNZ...

XO_Naegle-Marsland says:
CNS: And I thought you were a miracle worker. ::grins::

EO_Daniels says:
:: Goes to full impulse first before shutting down the engines, letting the momentum carry the ship over the border and past the detection grid.::

CO_Storal says:
CSO:Indeed. Man the secondary piloting console, just in case.

ACTION: The hauler comes to a full stop, as she picks up a hail from one of the border crossings... which can be heard by the shuttle as well...

CSO_Marsland says:
::takes the station and watches closely:: EO: I'd prepare to bring up those engines again, Cadet....

CNS_Solaa says:
XO: Why, thank you, Commander. I've had some nice things said about me before, but I think I like "miracle worker" the best. ::grins::

CO_Storal says:
CNS:Bring up that hail...

EO_Daniels says:
CSO:  Aye, Ma'am.  I'm on it.

CNS_Solaa says:
CO: On audio, sir.

XO_Naegle-Marsland says:
CNS: I aim to please, Counselor.

CSO_Marsland says:
::whirls around:: EO: Do I look like a "ma'am" to you, Cadet?

ACTION: The hail seems to be pretty generic... with the border crossing officers asking the hauler their purpose... the hauler responding with its destination as one of the moons orbiting Dessica V... 

EO_Daniels says:
CSO:  Sir, I'm sorry.  Forgive me.  I get a little nervous.

CSO_Marsland says:
::stops to listen to the comm::

CNS_Solaa says:
::giggles at Tom being called a "ma'am"::

CO_Storal says:
::taps his CSO on the shoulder:: CSO:Easy Tom...must be the lighting. ::chuckles::

CSO_Marsland says:
CO: Something like that.. ::Grins::

XO_Naegle-Marsland says:
CSO: Besides, I've been trying to bring out your feminine side, Tom.

CO_Storal says:
CNS:Stay with the hauler as long as possible, then break off.

CSO_Marsland says:
::groans out loud at his wife's comment::

ACTION: Something is wrong... the communication is shut off abruptly... 

CSO_Marsland says:
::scans for why the communication ended::

CSO_Marsland says:
CO: Sir, the freighter has dropped it's shields.. perhaps their cargo is being investigated?

CNS_Solaa says:
CO: Aye, sir- Oh! The comm!

CO_Storal says:
CSO:I would have to agree with you. Can they detect us??

CSO_Marsland says:
CO: I don't believe so - but I don't recommend staying here much longer.

ACTION: Several Starfleet fighters converge on the hauler... and transporters can be detected...

CO_Storal says:
::nods to the CSO:: CNS:Get us out of here. Manuvering thrusters only...

CNS_Solaa says:
CO: Aye! ::starts thrusters::

CSO_Marsland says:
CO: There's definitely something going on over there.. ::scans for types of races on that ship::

ACTION: As the shuttle moves away, ever so carefully so as not to set off the alarms, they note that the hauler's shields were abruptly raised again, attempting to break its way across the border anyways...

CSO_Marsland says:
CO: Sir, the hauler's making a run for it.

CO_Storal says:
CSO: They might as well. ::chuckles:: CNS:Alter our course so that the persuit doesnt intercept our course.

EO_Daniels says:
CO:  Suggest leaving it be.  It may be the distraction we need to get through.

CNS_Solaa says:
CO: Uh... doesn't intercept...? Oh, whatever. Here goes.

ACTION: As the shuttle moves on, the fighters begin to fire warning shots at the hauler, to get it to stop moving... one of the shots grazes the shuttle, and her cloak is momentarily disrupted...

CO_Storal says:
::feels the shuttle get bumped:: EO:Status?

CSO_Marsland says:
CO: Sir, they've seen us. Suggest warp.

EO_Daniels says:
::Reroutes power to the shields and cloaking device.::  CO:  Adding additional power to the shields and cloak to counter, Sir.

EO_Daniels says:
CO:  Momentary interuption in cloak.

XO_Naegle-Marsland says:
CSO: So we don't know if they've actually seen us or not, do we, Tom?

CNS_Solaa says:
CSO: You're so jumpy, Tom!

EO_Daniels says:
CO:  Maybe we should alter our path, just in case.

CO_Storal says:
CSO:Agreed. Lets hope that with all the commotion it wouldnt show...

CNS_Solaa says:
CSO: Chill out and relax... the shuttle is just going to keep moving and if it stops, we'll be right behind it.

CO_Storal says:
CNS:That is why I wanted our course altered.

CNS_Solaa says:
CO: I meant "right behind it" figuratively.

CSO_Marsland says:
XO/CO: I apologize. If they were looking at all, they saw us.

CNS_Solaa says:
CO: Since we are following it... maybe we should just make a run for it ourselves?

XO_Naegle-Marsland says:
CSO: It's alright, Tom.  I'm a little jumpy myself.

ACTION: The shuttle picks up a hail... from one of the fighters... aimed for nothing in particular...

CO_Storal says:
CSO:Well we cant worry about that.  CNS: Break away from the freighter and head for Dessica.

EO_Daniels says:
CSO:  If we are past the detection grid I suggest going to full impulse.

CO_Storal says:
CSO:Most likley they will do a diagnostic on thier sensors. By then we should be far enough away.

CSO_Marsland says:
CO: Incoming hail, Sir.

CO_Storal says:
CSO:Dont recieve it...

ACTION: The hail is urgent... on all frequencies: "Unidentified vessel, come to a full stop and decloak immediately..."

CSO_Marsland says:
CO: Of course.

CO_Storal says:
::nods to the EO:: CNS:Go to full impulse.

XO_Naegle-Marsland says:
CSO: Definitely, don't receive it.

CNS_Solaa says:
CO: Full impulse it is.

CNS_Solaa says:
CO: Heading toward the Neutral Zone at impulse... they won't follow us.

CO_Storal says:
CNS:Alter course to 125 mark 7. That will shift us away from the angle that we were hit.

ACTION: As the cloak stabilizes, the shuttle flies off deeper into the RNZ at full impulse... with Dessica several light years away.

EO_Daniels says:
::Realizes she was holding her breath, and relaxes a bit.::

XO_Naegle-Marsland says:
EO: You okay, Cadet?

CO_Storal says:
All:That was a major pucker factor there wasnt it? ::chuckles::

ACTION: The fighters continue with their business with the hauler, who has now stopped, and is being boarded... with the shuttle moving away rapidly...

EO_Daniels says:
XO:  I think so.  Just got a little excited I guess.  Thanks.

CNS_Solaa says:
CO: Course altered.

XO_Naegle-Marsland says:
::smiles:: EO: Relax, you'll do fine.

CO_Storal says:
CSO:Scan for any signs of Dr. Powers when we get closer...

CNS_Solaa says:
ALL: Wow... never thought we'd see the RNZ, did we? ::smiles::

EO_Daniels says:
::Smiles back, trying to keep her eye on the shield and cloaking devices.::

CSO_Marsland says:
CO: Aye Sir, gladly...

XO_Naegle-Marsland says:
EO: If you need any help, just let me know.

CSO_Marsland says:
CO: We're still several lightyears away, it'll be a while before I can look.

CO_Storal says:
XO: Dont you wish we could go back to the days of the phasing Ferengi's ::laughs::

CO_Storal says:
CSO:Any signs of persuit?

EO_Daniels says:
::Notes a small fluctuation in the interphase generator and makes some minor adjustments to compensate.::  XO:  Aye, Ma'am.

XO_Naegle-Marsland says:
CO: Phasing Ferengis and Breen torpedoes, those were the days. :laughs out loud::

CNS_Solaa says:
CO/XO: Uh... yeah... sure...

XO_Naegle-Marsland says:
CNS: You had to be there, Ryn.

CSO_Marsland says:
CO: No Sir, the fighters are busy with that frieghter.

EO_Daniels says:
CO/XO:  We can go to warp if you'd like.  I would suggest maybe warp 6 to avoid detection.

XO_Naegle-Marsland says:
CO: Your call, Captain.

CNS_Solaa says:
XO: Apparently... never saw a Breen before...

CO_Storal says:
CNS:Increase speed to warp six, as per the Cadet's suggestion ::smiles:: I dont want to be out here for longer than we have to.

XO_Naegle-Marsland says:
CNS: I'm talking about the QFT, Ryn.  It was used against us in our first mission.

CO_Storal says:
CNS/XO: It was almost six years ago Ryn. :: grins::

XO_Naegle-Marsland says:
CNS: That's how we know how to fake one.

CNS_Solaa says:
XO: Oh, yeah... the QFT. ALL: Preparing to jump to warp. Hold on, as I'm not sure if this clunker will make it smoothly...

ACTION: The shuttle moves past the narrow tachyon detection net, as they jump to warp, heading for Dessica...

CSO_Marsland says:
::holds on::

EO_Daniels says:
::Hears the CNS, and shudders a bit, hoping she is just kidding, but holds on nonetheless.::

XO_Naegle-Marsland says:
::holds on, trusting the CNS's piloting skills::

CSO_Marsland says:
::scans for tachyon emissions and for Trill lifesigns::

ACTION: There are sparse tachyon emissions all around... and also not... but one thing's for sure, there are no Trill lifesigns anywhere...

CNS_Solaa says:
CSO: Would a cloaking device mask his biosigns?

CSO_Marsland says:
CO: No sign of the Doc.. and nothing conclusive on the tachyon scan either.. ::looks at the CNS:: CNS: I hope so - otherwise we'd be detected going through that grid. They wouldn't see a ship, just biosigns floating by.

CNS_Solaa says:
ALL: Okay... so we need to find a way to scan THROUGH a cloak.

CO_Storal says:
CSO:What about any signs of Romulans...

CNS_Solaa says:
ALL: Otherwise, we'll be here until the shoopuf's come home.

CO_Storal says:
CSO:What about any signs of Romulans...

CSO_Marsland says:
::scans for Romulans and biosigns in space::

XO_Naegle-Marsland says:
CNS: Shoopufs?

CNS_Solaa says:
XO: Giant semi-aquatic animal on Trill. Similar to cows or elephants.

ACTION: The CSO's scans come up empty...

XO_Naegle-Marsland says:
CNS: Thank you. ::grins::

CSO_Marsland says:
CO: No luck on Romulans either, Sir.

XO_Naegle-Marsland says:
All: We're just not having any luck today, are we?

CO_Storal says:
XO:Well I wouldnt say that. We got this far...

ACTION: Dessica comes up on the main viewer... 

CNS_Solaa says:
ALL: Okay okay... we're looking for a needle in a haystack so we just need a magnet!

CSO_Marsland says:
CNS: Oh, that's easy then, I have the perfect solution.. start dangling ale around.

CNS_Solaa says:
ALL: Something to attract them to us.

CO_Storal says:
CSO:What about Dessica itself...What does the tourist guide say. ::chuckles::

CNS_Solaa says:
CSO: HE'S not driving the warbird, Tom!

CSO_Marsland says:
CO/XO: Now approaching Dessica... tourist guide.. hrm.. let me see what this computer says..

CNS_Solaa says:
CSO: I didn't know you could read Andorian, Tom.

CNS_Solaa says:
CO: We don't still have ole what's-her-face-scientist do we?

CO_Storal says:
CNS:No she would be on the Apache...

CNS_Solaa says:
ALL: Oh, and we're entering the Dessica system everyone.

CNS_Solaa says:
CO: Well, that's what the Romulans wanted, right?

CSO_Marsland says:
CO: Well, it's independent.. has it's own military.

CNS_Solaa says:
CO: Maybe... maybe if we broadcast that we have her somehow.... they'll come to us.

CSO_Marsland says:
CNS: It's easy, Counselor.. just set it to broadcast in audio, and patch it through the translator in our commbadges.

CO_Storal says:
CNS:We dont want to attract to much attention.

CNS_Solaa says:
CSO: That's not what I meant!

CSO_Marsland says:
CNS: I'm referring to the reading Andorian comment.

CO_Storal says:
CSO:Is there a spaceport we can dock?

CNS_Solaa says:
CO: Maybe if we go down to some Romulans, announce that we have brought her, and pretend we're bandits or something!

CSO_Marsland says:
CO: Yessir, recommend coming out of cloak though, before we scare them.

CNS_Solaa says:
CO: I could play the snotty woman, and then when we go to collect our "pay" we'll nick John and be home by 0400 tomorrow!

CO_Storal says:
CSO:That would be prudent.. EO:Disengage cloak.

EO_Daniels says:
::Nods to the Captain.::  CO:  Disengaging cloak, Sir.

CO_Storal says:
CNS:I wish it were that easy Ryn.

CO_Storal says:
CNS:Dock at.. ::looks at the different ports::...That one.

CNS_Solaa says:
CO: But surely there is some easier way... There's always tons of solutions to every problem.

EO_Daniels says:
::Disengages the cloak.::

XO_Naegle-Marsland says:
CNS: It's a nice theory though, Counselor.

ACTION: The cloak is dropped... and almost immediately, fighters swarm on the shuttle...

USS Apache - 10507.29

With Korata under arrest, perhaps the crew of the Apache will now receive answers they need desperately...

Host ACO_LtJG_Ryushi says:
::in the TL on the way to the brig::

CEO_Ens_Derryth says:
::En route to the brig with ACO::

SO_Ens_York says:
::On a TL heading for the Bridge::

Shan says:
::pouting, as he sits in the brig cell:: Guard... Anyone: This is unconstitutional, I demand to be released!

Host ACO_LtJG_Ryushi says:
::stepping out of the TL:: Shan: Mr. Shan, you shall be released upon answering some questions.

CEO_Ens_Derryth says:
::Looming in behind the ACO::

Shan says:
ACO: Right, illegally detained no less??

CEO_Ens_Derryth says:
Shan: You're detainment is quite legal.

Host ACO_LtJG_Ryushi says:
Shan: And, I believe, you are quite correct.  As you have done nothing wrong at this point, we have no right to keep you in the brig.  ::nods to the guard:: Guard: Lower the force field.

CTO_Ens_Ramor says:
::in her room, doing some last minute checks on her uniform to make sure she is 110% within regs::

SO_Ens_York says:
::Steps onto the Bridge and heads for the Science station::

Korata says:
::looks up from her own cell, glancing at the unfamiliar faces...:: All: Who... who are you?

Guard says:
::nods, and lowers the forcefield::

Shan says:
::stands up, and brushes the dust off his suit:: ACO: That's better. Now we're in a far more civil circumstance to speak.

CTO_Ens_Ramor says:
::exits her room, and goes to the turbolift:: TL: Bridge, please. ::takes a deep breath:: Self: Here I go.

Host ACO_LtJG_Ryushi says:
::nods again to the guard to raise the force field::  Shan: Would you be more comfortable discussing things here, or perhaps in our observation lounge?

Shan says:
::glances at Korata:: ACO: I wouldn't mind if we... ::gestures to Korata:: ... stayed here.

SO_Ens_York says:
::runs a level 5 diagnostic on the Science station and Sensors::

CTO_Ens_Ramor says:
::walks onto the bridge, and performs turnover with the current TO before taking the station::

CEO_Ens_Derryth says:
Shan: Would you allow us access to your sensor logs and cargo manifests?

Host ACO_LtJG_Ryushi says:
Shan: Very well.

SO_Ens_York says:
::nods to the new CTO and smiles and thinks it's nice not to be the only newcomer on the Bridge crew::

CEO_Ens_Derryth says:
Shan: Thank you, please signal your ship I will have our SO ready for transmission.

Shan says:
CEO: Well, considering you're holding my freighter, I can't very well say no, can I. ::smiles::

CEO_Ens_Derryth says:
*SO*: Ens York, be ready to recieve sensor and cargo files from the Benzite vessel.

SO_Ens_York says:
*CEO*: Yes sir, ready on this end.

CEO_Ens_Derryth says:
Shan: You still hold that right, but cooperation is much better than the alternatives.

CTO_Ens_Ramor says:
::smiles back at Ensign York as she starts a level 5 diagnostic on her console:: SO: Hi there. Guess I'm not the only lowball here, huh? Anything going on right now?

Host ACO_LtJG_Ryushi says:
::lets the CEO ask the first question and steps away for a moment::  *SO*: Ensign York, welcome aboard.  You have the bridge, for the time being.

SO_Ens_York says:
*ACO*: Thank you sir.

SO_Ens_York says:
CTO: Receiving some logs it seems.

Korata says:
::she stands up:: ACO: We have to get away from here, as soon as possible....

Host ACO_LtJG_Ryushi says:
::steps back into the conversation::  CEO: Get on those sensor logs-

CTO_Ens_Ramor says:
::nods, and tilts her head:: SO: Well, they always warned me that the first day would be pretty boring.

Host ACO_LtJG_Ryushi says:
Korata: Why is that, Senator?

SO_Ens_York says:
CTO: Oh, not boring. But probably nerve rattling. ::grins at her::

CEO_Ens_Derryth says:
*SO*: Please review the logs for any anomalous readings. Vessels, unexplained cargo anything that will help us figure out where this Romulan came from.

SO_Ens_York says:
*CEO*: I'll get right on it sir!

CTO_Ens_Ramor says:
::smirks:: SO: Well, until we start getting shot at, I think the day will go pretty smooth...

SO_Ens_York says:
::starts examining the data he received::

SO_Ens_York says:
CTO: Until? I'd prefer not to be shot at, at all.

Korata says:
ACO: Because I promise you, we won't leave here alive.... we have to leave now!

SO_Ens_York says:
::starts a Long Range Scan on the surrounding space aswell::

Host ACO_LtJG_Ryushi says:
Korata: You are in no position to be making demands, Senator Korata.

CEO_Ens_Derryth says:
*CTO* Tactical, you get to scan the Apache for anymore intruders. Also keep an eye on long range sensors.

CTO_Ens_Ramor says:
*CEO*: Aye sir.

SO_Ens_York says:
::overhears the CTO's orders:: CTO: I've already started the scan, I'll reroute it to your station.

Host ACO_LtJG_Ryushi says:
Shan: If you don't mind, I would like to wait until later to ask more in detail about your current cargo run.  ::turns back to Korata::

Korata says:
ACO: Don't be foolish! You can hold me here if you like, if it means I'm safe here, but if you're not going to leave, I demand you release me at once, I have sacrificed TOO MUCH to die here!

CTO_Ens_Ramor says:
::starts the internal scan, and glances over her shoulder to nod at the SO:: SO: Thanks. I'll take that from here. Can you keep an eye on the short range science scans? Don't want to wait until the neutron radiation is frying our eyeballs to figure out someone's sneaking up on us.

Host ACO_LtJG_Ryushi says:
Korata: What could possibly be so dangerous that it would kill all of us? In case you have not realized, we are stationary in deep space.

CEO_Ens_Derryth says:
*EO shift leader*: Pump some more power to sensors please.

SO_Ens_York says:
CTO: I'll do that.

CEO_Ens_Derryth says:
Shan: Where were you headed again?

Korata says:
ACO: The Tal'Shiar does not take kindly to Senators who leave the Empire... nor on Federation ships who meddle too closely... your medic, she told me that this is Apache... is this true? ::a look of shock across her face, not unlike one in the sickbay...::

SO_Ens_York says:
::programs the science sensors to looks for any kinds of neutron radiation then continues going through the logs::

Shan says:
CEO: We were just going to deliver the rest of our cormaline, and then head back to Benzar for a bit of rest... honest! We have been working for many months now.

Host ACO_LtJG_Ryushi says:
Korata: Yes, you are aboard the Federation Starship Apache.

Host ACO_LtJG_Ryushi says:
Korata: So it is true that you are, or were, a Romulan Senator?

CEO_Ens_Derryth says:
ACO: Sir if I could interject... Perhaps we can escort Shan's vessel to its next stop, just to get moving again.

Korata says:
ACO: Then you are in grave danger... Of all ships to rescue me... You are in grave danger, I will say that, your ship has been marked by the Tal'Shiar!

Host ACO_LtJG_Ryushi says:
CEO: How far is it to Benzar?

CTO_Ens_Ramor says:
::looks carefully over the interior scan results and long range scan results, and runs them again::

Host ACO_LtJG_Ryushi says:
CEO: or to the freighter's next stop, wherever that may be?

Host ACO_LtJG_Ryushi says:
Korata: Marked... in what way?

CEO_Ens_Derryth says:
ACO: Benzar, I don't know. ::Logs into the computer and accesses stellar catography::

CEO_Ens_Derryth says:
ACO: Benzar is a couple of hours away sir.

SO_Ens_York says:
CTO: I'm not detecting any signs of neutron radiation in the nearby space, thankfully.

Korata says:
ACO: I don't know... I don't work for the Tal'Shiar, and to be honest, the head of the Tal'Shiar and I aren't... on friendly terms... but the Senate is rife with rumours... you have something that the Tal'Shiar want... or need to destroy....

Host ACO_LtJG_Ryushi says:
Korata: Something, or Someone?

Korata says:
ACO: I don't know!

CTO_Ens_Ramor says:
SO: Okay, thanks.

SO_Ens_York says:
*CEO*: I've finished reviewing the logs, and so far have found nothing out of the ordinary. Want me to double check sir?

Host ACO_LtJG_Ryushi says:
Korata: Let me move on to a more precise question.  Why did you kidnap Dr. Powers?

Korata says:
ACO: ... What are you talking about?

CEO_Ens_Derryth says:
*SO*: No that'll be fine... unless you feel you missed something.

CEO_Ens_Derryth says:
ACO: Sir, should we set course to Benzar?

Host ACO_LtJG_Ryushi says:
Korata: A few hours ago... your ship escaped into the Romulan Neutral Zone with Dr. Powers in your custody.

SO_Ens_York says:
*CEO*: No sir, there's nothing in them.

CEO_Ens_Derryth says:
*SO* Thank you.

SO_Ens_York says:
CTO: Anything at your end?

Korata says:
ACO: A few hours ago, I was hiding in a Benzite freighter!

Host ACO_LtJG_Ryushi says:
CEO: Ah, uhm...  Yes, ensign.  Order the bridge to release the tractor beam on the freighter and follow them toward Benzar.  No faster than Warp six.

CTO_Ens_Ramor says:
SO: Nothing. Want to switch tasks? I look through the logs and short range scans, you check the internal sensors and long range scans?

CEO_Ens_Derryth says:
ACO: Aye sir.

SO_Ens_York says:
CTO: We better stick to our original orders ::smiles::

Host ACO_LtJG_Ryushi says:
Korata: Perhaps more than a few hours ago, then.

CEO_Ens_Derryth says:
*Bridge*: Set course for Benzar, inform the freighter that we'll be escorting them there... and realease the tractor beam, maximum speed warp six.

CIV_Davis says:
::pops into the Bridge from the turbolift, looking around to see what's happening there before he decides what to do next::

Host ACO_LtJG_Ryushi says:
Korata: You escaped on a Romulan Scoutship, running from Apache.

SO_Ens_York says:
::looks over at the CTO::

CTO_Ens_Ramor says:
SO: Hey, either or...  the conn is yours, right?

CEO_Ens_Derryth says:
Shan: We'll be glad to have you on Apache for the trip... would you like a drink?

SO_Ens_York says:
CTO: I'll take the helm aye. You release the tractor beam.

CIV_Davis says:
::wanders over to the console that is farthest from his present location and takes a seat::

Shan says:
CEO: Why, how nice of you, I shall be glad to take you up on your offer, kind sir.

SO_Ens_York says:
::smiles at the CIV as he takes a seat:: 

Korata says:
ACO: I am a Romulan senator... and such things are unbecoming. You must be mistaken!

SO_Ens_York says:
::brings up the conn display and sets the course for Benzar::

CTO_Ens_Ramor says:
SO: Aye, sir, releasing tractor beam.

CTO_Ens_Ramor says:
::releases the tractor beam::

Host ACO_LtJG_Ryushi says:
Korata: You may be right...  ::pulls the CEO aside, out of earshot of everyone else::

CEO_Ens_Derryth says:
Security officer: Go to my quarters and grab the bottle on my table and bring it back.

CIV_Davis says:
::doesn't really note the SO, mostly because he's unfamiliar::

SO_Ens_York says:
*Engineering*: This is Ensign York, are we good for warp speed?

CIV_Davis says:
::activates the console in front of himself and brings up the power distribution for the sensor systems::

CEO_Ens_Derryth says:
ACO: Sir?

Host ACO_LtJG_Ryushi says:
CEO: I think we may have been dealing with a 'fake' Korata earlier, when 'she' supposedly kidnapped Dr. Powers.

SO_Ens_York says:
*ACO*: Course set for Benzar sir.

CEO_Ens_Derryth says:
ACO: Fake... or a clone perhaps?

CIV_Davis says:
::begins sorting through various non-essential systems for power, wondering if there's a way he can boost the range and effectiveness of the long range sensors::

Host ACO_LtJG_Ryushi says:
*SO*: Engage.

SO_Ens_York says:
*ACO*: Aye sir.

SO_Ens_York says:
::engages the warp engines::

Korata says:
ACO: Do you know... what you're saying? ... Someone is impersonating me... then it was true all along... ::she looks down at her feet, then back up at the ACO:: ACO: Lieutenant, I think there's more here than meets the eye... I chose to leave the Empire to inform Starfleet... that I have evidence of a conspiracy, involving the Romulan Star Empire and the Federation... 

ACTION: The ship jumps to warp, heading for Benzar...

CEO_Ens_Derryth says:
ACO: Well sir, we need to get a straight story from her on the record.

Host ACO_LtJG_Ryushi says:
::looks suspiciously at Korata:: CEO: I think she may actually be telling the truth...

SO_Ens_York says:
CIV: Hello, I'm Ensign York, the new Science Officer.

CIV_Davis says:
::wonders if boosting the power, while narrowing the scan spectrum, will do any good; he figures scans will probably take longer to complete, which is certainly a drawback this close to the neutral zone::

CTO_Ens_Ramor says:
CIV: And I'm, uh, Ensign Solita Ramor. Just got here myself.

Security_Officer says:
:: Pops back in with the bottle and a glass:: CEO: Here you go sir.

CEO_Ens_Derryth says:
ACO: Then I think we need to keep her out of trouble.

Host ACO_LtJG_Ryushi says:
::nods to the guard:: Guard: Lower the force field...

CIV_Davis says:
::nods to both and offers a slight smile, though his concentration takes away from his social skills at the moment::  CTO, SO:  Nice meeting both of you.   I'm Bill Davis.

Guard says:
::nods, and lowers the forcefield to Korata's cell::

SO_Ens_York says:
CIV: Nice to meet you.

CTO_Ens_Ramor says:
::nods at Davis::

CEO_Ens_Derryth says:
Shan: I think you'll like this, twenty year old scotch... ::Gives Shan the bottle and glass::

Host ACO_LtJG_Ryushi says:
::steps forward:: Korata: You said something about someone impersonating you?

SO_Ens_York says:
CTO: Anything on the long range sensors?

CIV_Davis says:
::shoots the CTO another look...he's not sure if it's the height or what; he quickly regains his composure and returns to his work::

Korata says:
ACO: No, YOU said something about someone impersonating me.

CTO_Ens_Ramor says:
SO: Sorry, sir. Just us and hydrogen out here.

Korata says:
::clucks her tongue:: ACO: But it would not surprise me... you must tell me everything. What was she doing?

SO_Ens_York says:
::nods at the CTO::

Host ACO_LtJG_Ryushi says:
Korata: But you said something about it being true?

Host ACO_LtJG_Ryushi says:
Korata: What, exactly, would be 'true'?

SO_Ens_York says:
::makes a minor course correction to evade a nebula::

CIV_Davis says:
::draws up a simulation for the sensors, whereby the grid is broken into several different small groups which scan adjacent areas; next, since the clustered sensors focus on some areas while missing others, he tries to develop a pattern for scanning that will cover all areas in the field::

Shan says:
::takes a whiff:: CEO: Oh, boy, that's... strong!

CEO_Ens_Derryth says:
ACO: If I may. ::Glancing toward Korata::

Host ACO_LtJG_Ryushi says:
CEO: Of course, Ensign...

Korata says:
ACO: ... It would not surprise me if someone would wish to impersonate me to further their goals... especially at a time like this.

CEO_Ens_Derryth says:
:: Smiles toward Shan::

CEO_Ens_Derryth says:
Korata: What do you know about the Charybda system?

Host ACO_LtJG_Ryushi says:
::nods his approval at the CEO::

Korata says:
::snaps at the CEO:: CEO: If I were to point at a star on a vast starchart, would you know anything about it? I have never left the Empire.

CEO_Ens_Derryth says:
Korata: That was an unbecoming response... I had hoped you knew something of the system.

Host ACO_LtJG_Ryushi says:
::gives the CEO a meaningful look:: Korata/Shan/CEO: You will all accompany me to the Observation Lounge, where we may discuss this in further detail.  ::motions to the TL::

Shan says:
::nods, and follows the ACO, with Korata and the CEO::

CIV_Davis says:
::continues monitoring the simulation to see if there's any improvement::

Korata says:
ACO: You are not making any sense. But if you tell me what is going on, perhaps I can hel pyou!

CEO_Ens_Derryth says:
::Motions to a Security guard to accompany us::

CIV_Davis says:
::frustrated with the lack of improvement according to the simulation; he realizes quickly that his pattern of scanning is flawed, and there are certain areas which weren't covered::

Host ACO_LtJG_Ryushi says:
*Reyon*: Dr. Reyon, I would like you to meet me in the Observation Lounge as soon as possible.  ::steps into the TL with the others:: TL: Observation Lounge.

ACTION: There is no response.

CEO_Ens_Derryth says:
:: Confused::

CEO_Ens_Derryth says:
Computer: Locate Dr. Reyon.

CIV_Davis says:
::a little happier with the results of the simulation, although the results aren't necessarily the same as reality might produce::

CTO_Ens_Ramor says:
::checks the internal scanners again, and otherwise watches the starfield pass by on the viewscreen::

SO_Ens_York says:
::watches the scans closely for any signs on neutron radiation::

Computer says:
CEO: Dr. Reyon is in her quarters.

CIV_Davis says:
SO, CTO: If it's alright with you two, I'd like to try reconfiguring the long range sensors to provide greater range, and maybe a little better overall effectiveness.  ::turns and faces the two officers::

CEO_Ens_Derryth says:
ACO: Looks like we have to make a stop.

SO_Ens_York says:
CIV: Will it result in any sensor downtime ?

Host ACO_LtJG_Ryushi says:
TL: Deck 2.

CIV_Davis says:
SO: There's no hardware changes, so no...at most a minute for me to make the changes via the console.

CTO_Ens_Ramor says:
CIV: Yeah, I was about to ask. We're currently using them.

Host ACO_LtJG_Ryushi says:
CEO: Take these people to the observation lounge.  I will meet you there.  ::steps off the TL near the VIP quarters and walks out of sight::

CEO_Ens_Derryth says:
ACO: Aye aye.

CTO_Ens_Ramor says:
::shrugs:: CIV: I don't have a problem with it, then...? ::looks at the SO::

SO_Ens_York says:
CIV: Alright, make the changes.

CEO_Ens_Derryth says:
TL: Observation Lounge.

CIV_Davis says:
SO, CTO: I can load the modifications in before we actually implement them, so it will be only a few seconds then.

SO_Ens_York says:
CTO: I'll tie the short range scanners into the navigational array for the time needed.

Host ACO_LtJG_Ryushi says:
::approaches Dr. Reyon's quarters and presses the Chime::

CEO_Ens_Derryth says:
:: Steps off the TL and allows the other to file out::

CIV_Davis says:
::begins inputting changes to cluster the ship's sensors to scan specific areas, then rotate in a preset pattern to carefully scan all areas around the ship::

ACTION: There is no response...

CEO_Ens_Derryth says:
Korata/Shan: Follow me please. ::Heads into the Obs Lounge::

Host ACO_LtJG_Ryushi says:
::Inputs a security bypass into the panel beside the door::

Korata/Shan says:
::follows the CEO into the observation lounge, staying away from each other...::

CTO_Ens_Ramor says:
SO: Thank you, sir. That sounds good.

ACTION: The door slides open...

CIV_Davis says:
::finishes the modifications::  CTO, SO: Looks like we're ready.

CEO_Ens_Derryth says:
Korata, Shan: Please have a seat.

Host ACO_LtJG_Ryushi says:
::walks cautiously into the room:: Reyon: Doctor?

CIV_Davis says:
SO, CTO:  Reinitializing long range sensors....now... ::implements changes through his console::

CTO_Ens_Ramor says:
::Watches carefully for changes::

SO_Ens_York says:
::Brings the navigational array back to it's normal function::

CIV_Davis says:
::also watches for any enhancement from his console::

Dr_Reyon says:
::her eyes closed, she kneels in front of a small box of some sort... praying... her eyes shoot upwards, as she suddenly realises that the ACO is there...:: ACO: ... GET OUT!

SO_Ens_York says:
CIV: Let's hope this work, then you'll have to publish a paper and get Starfleet to upgrade their scanners. ::grins::

CTO_Ens_Ramor says:
SO: Think it'd take a bit more than that. For example, proving it still works when we're not looking at nothing.

CEO_Ens_Derryth says:
Shan: How do you like that scotch?

CIV_Davis says:
::shrugs::  SO: Right now I think I'm just hoping to get off this ship without being killed, or being court martialed....::Frowns::...AFTER leaving Starfleet too...

SO_Ens_York says:
CIV: We'll keep an open mind for now, and hope it works for us now.

Host ACO_LtJG_Ryushi says:
Reyon: Doctor, I must insist that you join us in the observation lounge.

CIV_Davis says:
CTO: Very true..I don't think it will do any harm, in any event.

SO_Ens_York says:
::decides not to ask the CIV what he meant::

SO_Ens_York says:
CTO: Keep your eyes peeled on those scans.

Dr_Reyon says:
::she looks up, a glow in her eyes...:: ACO: Get... OUT! ::she raises a hand in the direction of the ACO...::

CIV_Davis says:
::turns to the console again, tweaking the scan pattern and frequency::

CTO_Ens_Ramor says:
SO: Aye, sir.

ACTION: A beam of energy shoots outward from the doctor, knocking the ACO to his feet, unconscious, against the wall...
