USS Apache - The away team, on their commandeered shuttle, is leaving the Dessica trade station... a station that suddenly descended into a state of chaos and anarchy... 

... But where to go? 

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

Sec_Abbott says:
::is at the helm, piloting the shuttle to what she hopes will be a safe distance so they can tend to their injured::

ACTION: Subspace communications is being flooded with messages, frantic messages of pleas, pleas for help... as ships try to escape, including the shuttle...

XO_Naegle-Marsland says:
::on the shuttle attempting to assume command of a very delicate situation::

CNS_Solaa says:
::holding the CO in her lap and helping Turok tend to him:: MO: How bad is it?

MO_Turok says:
::Working on stabilizing the CO, who is in serious condition::

EO_Daniels says:
::Checking primary systems.::  XO:  Sir, communication systems are picking up distress calls.

MO_Turok says:
CNS: Not good.

XO_Naegle-Marsland says:
EO: Well, there's really nothing we can do, Cadet.

EO_Daniels says:
XO:  Aye, Sir.  Systems are picking up a lot of traffic in the area.  Just thought you would like to know.

ACTION: As a bevy of ships start piling away from the station, several unaffiliated ships start to move away as well...

CSO_Marsland says:
::looks around:: XO: Where to now?

ACTION: Suddenly, a door to the back of the shuttle slides open, and in bounds the Andorian, pistol in hand...

XO_Naegle-Marsland says:
EO: Acknowledged, Cadet.

Andorian says:
All: Everyone freeze!

CNS_Solaa says:
::nods:: MO: I figured... ::realizes something:: ALL: Oh my God we don't have anywhere to go!!!

Sec_Abbott says:
::nods as she watches the comm systems flood with messages:: XO/EO: Agreed.

XO_Naegle-Marsland says:
::looks up at the Andorian:: Andorian: Relax, Mister.  We don't want anyone to get hurt.

Sec_Abbott says:
::continues to pilot the shuttle as she quickly looks behind her to see what's going on. Returns to the console as she needs to so they don't crash::

Andorian says:
XO: You, shut up! Now, you have taken my ship... what is going on here?

MO_Turok says:
CNS: I would suggest someplace with a decent medical facility, unless we don't mind losing the Captain.

EO_Daniels says:
::Continues to monitor the channels, she looks up to see an Andorian with a pistol in hand.::  Self:  This can not be good.

ACTION: A weak blip appears, suddenly, surreptitiously, on the CSO's console... an odd, unexpected life sign in one of the rooms on the trade station, all of a sudden... Trill, unjoined...

XO_Naegle-Marsland says:
Andorian: We needed an unaffiliated ship for a special trip.

CSO_Marsland says:
::blinks, and tries to home in on the signal:: XO: Ma'am! We need to go back... I'm picking up an unjoined Trill on the station..

XO_Naegle-Marsland says:
CSO: Can you beam her out from here?

CSO_Marsland says:
XO: I can try, if we lower shields...

CNS_Solaa says:
::looks over at the Andorian:: Andorian: We're really sorry, but we're desperate. Our ship was destroyed ::figures it's good as destroyed anyway::

EO_Daniels says:
XO/CSO:  I can transfer additional power to the transport systems.

CSO_Marsland says:
::tries to lock onto the signal, and when shields lower, beam the life sign out::

Sec_Abbott says:
CSO: I believe I can fly the shuttle a little lower to make transport a little easier

XO_Naegle-Marsland says:
Cadet: Do it.  CSO: Lower shields, but only long enough for the beam out.

ACTION: As the CSO tries to lock onto the life sign, he finds that the individual is no longer there... as s/he is beamed out almost immediately after the life sign appeared... onto another vessel...

EO_Daniels says:
::Works the console and transfers additional power to the transport systems pulling resources from non-vital systems.::

CSO_Marsland says:
::lowers the shields, and attempts a beam out of the life sign.. then realizes the sign is gone... scans for the vessel it's on::

CSO_Marsland says:
::reraises shields:: XO: Someone else got him or her.. trying to figure out who...

Sec_Abbott says:
::scans the area for the vessel that picked up the unjoined Trill::

XO_Naegle-Marsland says:
CSO: Acknowledged, Lieutenant.  Let me know what you find out.

ACTION: The life sign reappears on sensors, as having been beamed to one of the swarm ships... two Dessican life signs, one Trill... and speeds away, heading for Romulan territory, at Warp 8...

Sec_Abbott says:
XO: Sir, the Trill has beamed to one of the swarm ships

Sec_Abbott says:
XO: It is also heading for Romulan Territory at warp 8...

EO_Daniels says:
SEC:  Looks like they're heading to warp.

XO_Naegle-Marsland says:
::Nods to the Sec:: Sec: Thank you, Lieutenant,

XO_Naegle-Marsland says:
Sec: Follow it.  We need answers.

Sec_Abbott says:
::nods briskly:: XO: Yes, Sir.... ::plots the course laid in by the other ship and follows at warp 8::

CSO_Marsland says:
::shakes his head slightly, and looks down at his panel::

XO_Naegle-Marsland says:
::notes Tom's reaction:: CSO: Something wrong, Lieutenant?

Andorian says:
::stares:: All: PAY ATTENTION TO ME! I STILL HAVE A GUN!

CNS_Solaa says:
Andorian: Look, sir. Why don't you sit down... ::pats a spot on the floor next to her::

CNS_Solaa says:
Andorian: We swear we're not going to hurt you. ::smiles::

XO_Naegle-Marsland says:
Andorian: We know that.  But you're not our primary focus right now.  Finding out answers is.  We just borrowed your ship.  We intend to give it back.

Andorian says:
::glares at the CNS, and fires at the spot where she's patting, singing the hairs on her fingers::

EO_Daniels says:
::Looks at the Andorian, then at the XO and back to the Andorian again.  Waits to hear what the Andorian has to say to the XO.::

CNS_Solaa says:
::that was NOT the right thing to do:: Andorian: Oh HELL no! ::gives the Captain over to the MO:: MO: Here... take him. ::stands up::

CSO_Marsland says:
::swivels around in his chair, smoothly drawing his phaser and firing at the Andorian. On stun of course. ::

Sec_Abbott says:
::once the course is laid in, she turns to the Andorian and glares at him:: Andorian: Do not fire that weapon again! You are only putting yourself in danger...

MO_Turok says:
::Takes the CO as he continues to work on his fading life signs::

ACTION: The CSO's phaser fire hits the Andorian's hand; he drops the weapon and clutches his wounded appendage...

Andorian says:
::squawks, as he stares at his hand:: CSO: That hurt!

CSO_Marsland says:
::blinks, and looks at the Andorian disbelieving. Keeping the phaser pointed in his direction, he reaches down and takes the Andorian's weapon.::

XO_Naegle-Marsland says:
Andorian: Now, unless you're willing to help us try to catch that Romulan ship, I suggest you sit down and shut up, yourself.

CNS_Solaa says:
 Andorian: You are messing with the WRONG crew, mister! Now, I tried to be nice... ::grabs him by the collar:: I tried to be friendly. YOU will now be friendly... right? ::shakes him for emphasis::

Sec_Abbott says:
::gets up from her seat at the helm and moves to the Andorian. She then turns to the CNS and takes her by the arm, firmly but gently:: CNS: You will release him. We do not need any more bloodshed this day....

Andorian says:
::gasps a response as the CNS grabs on a little too roughly:: CNS: Okay... okay... But this is still my... my ship...

CSO_Marsland says:
::stares at his weapon:: Self: What on Earth is wrong with this thing?  ::hmmms to himself and begins to raise the setting ::

EO_Daniels says:
CNS:  Lieutenant?  I think you are making the Andorian turn purple.

CNS_Solaa says:
MO: Turok, gimme some dermaline gel, please?

XO_Naegle-Marsland says:
::sighs:: All: Let's focus on the job at hand, please, crew.

CNS_Solaa says:
::looks at the EO:: EO: Good. Purple is prettier than blue anyway.

CNS_Solaa says:
::sits the Andorian down:: Andorian: Now, I'm Ryn. What's your name?

ACTION: The swarm ship appears to be followed by three other ships, casting weapons fire at it, as the Away team's shuttle pursues from behind...

Andorian says:
::nurses his hand:: CNS: My name is none of your business. What are you going to do about my ship?

EO_Daniels says:
XO:  I'm picking up weapons fire from the ships pursuing the swarm ship, Sir.

CSO_Marsland says:
XO: Recommend increasing speed to intercept.

XO_Naegle-Marsland says:
CSO: Agreed, Cadet: Acknowledged, Cadet.

CNS_Solaa says:
Andorian: Don't make  me get nasty again... ::glares darkly at him::

XO_Naegle-Marsland says:
Sec: Increase speed to intercept.

Sec_Abbott says:
::lets out a sigh, but is thankful there isn't any more violence than necessary. She turns to sit at the helm again, checking the course of the other swarm ship::

CNS_Solaa says:
Andorian: And we are going to follow some Romulans into their territory because they have one of our people.

Sec_Abbott says:
::looks quickly over her shoulder at the XO and nods:: XO: Aye Sir. Increasing speed to maximum warp.

MO_Turok says:
CNS:  I would recommend we save it. The CO may need it, if he makes it.

CNS_Solaa says:
MO: Oh, good idea.... bandage then? Something cold?

ACTION: As the shuttle increases speed, they quickly approach the Swarm ship, as the three other ships move off to avoid them...

Andorian says:
CNS: That's... not a good idea...

Sec_Abbott says:
XO: We are approaching the swarm ship, Sir.

MO_Turok says:
CNS: Rummage through there. ::Pointing to the bag of medical supplies:: You might find something.

XO_Naegle-Marsland says:
Sec: Reduce speed as we approach, Lieutenant.  I don't want to spook them.

Sec_Abbott says:
::nods as her fingers work the console:: XO: Aye, Sir. Reducing speed to match the swarm ship...

EO_Daniels says:
XO:  They're comming us, Sir.

EO_Daniels says:
XO:  Shall I put it on speaker?

XO_Naegle-Marsland says:
::nods to the cadet:: Cadet: On speakers.

CNS_Solaa says:
::grabs the kit and finds a bandage::

CNS_Solaa says:
Andorian: Give me your hand.

EO_Daniels says:
::Presses some buttons.::  XO:  Speakers on, Sir.

Dessican Vessel says:
COM: Shuttle: Wh- What do you want?

Andorian says:
 ::moves towards the CNS::

XO_Naegle-Marsland says:
COM: Dessican Vessel: Dessican Vessel, we are not trying to hurt you.  We are only interested in a member of our party who might be on one of your ships.

Dessican Vessel says:
COM: Shuttle: That is not possible... there is no one here whom you could possibly be interested in.

CNS_Solaa says:
::takes his hand and wraps it:: Andorian: Now... your name?

CSO_Marsland says:
::listens quietly, not saying a word::

Andorian says:
::sighs:: CNS: Lant.

XO_Naegle-Marsland says:
Com: Dessican Vessel: This person is a scientist.  Named Dr. Reyon

CNS_Solaa says:
::hears that name:: XO: Oh, no... not her again!

CNS_Solaa says:
Lant: Okay, Lant. Now how did you procure a Romulan shuttle? Why not Andorian?

XO_Naegle-Marsland says:
CNS: Easy, Ryn.

EO_Daniels says:
::Continues to listen, but also monitoring communications channels in the area.::

Dessican says:
COM: Shuttle: I can assure you, we have no one by that name here. It is simply us two, and our product which MUST be shipped at all cost. It was virtually impossible for us to even get off the station. If you will let us leave...

XO_Naegle-Marsland says:
COM: Dessican Vessel: What exactly is your . . . product?

CSO_Marsland says:
::scans the shuttle again::

XO_Naegle-Marsland says:
::whispers:: CSO: Got anything?

EO_Daniels says:
::Increases some power to the sensors.::

Dessican Vessel says:
COM: Shuttle: I am not at liberty to say. You understand. My Romulan clients will not appreciate it if I revealed their order...

ACTION: The swarm ship continues at warp eight...

CSO_Marsland says:
::nods at the XO::

EO_Daniels says:
XO:  They've gone to warp again, Sir.

EO_Daniels says:
<delete last>

XO_Naegle-Marsland says:
COM: Dessican Vessel: So you do deal with Romulans.  Well, it is a matter of system security that you reveal your cargo.

Dessican Vessel says:
COM: Shuttle: You don't intimidate us... We're getting out of here, and it's our right to do business as we please!

CNS_Solaa says:
XO: Shoot them, Commander!

XO_Naegle-Marsland says:
CSO: Lieutenant, Target their shields, and fire.

EO_Daniels says:
::Adjusts power to weapons.::

Dessican Vessel says:
COM: Shuttle: Wait, wait! Don't shoot!

EO_Daniels says:
XO:  They're comming us again, Sir.  Asking us not to shoot.

CSO_Marsland says:
::looks at the XO, his finger on the fire button, weapons locked::

XO_Naegle-Marsland says:
CSO: Fire!

EO_Daniels says:
XO:  Sir?  Communication from the shuttle?

EO_Daniels says:
::Hesitates, not sure if she heard her.::

Sec_Abbott says:
::continues to maintain the distance between their shuttle and the Dessican one::

XO_Naegle-Marsland says:
Cadet: I heard them, Cadet.  We'll deal with them once we have them on a level playing field.

CSO_Marsland says:
::fires at the shuttle, trying to drop their shields::

ACTION: With a few well-placed shots, the swarm ship’s shield generator overloads, and the shields drop, leaving the swarm ship defenseless...

EO_Daniels says:
XO:  Yes, Sir.  My apologies.  I wasn't sure if you heard me.  ::nods.::

EO_Daniels says:
XO:  Shields are down, Sir.

XO_Naegle-Marsland says:
CSO: Beam the Trill life sign out, Tom!

CSO_Marsland says:
::beams the life sign out::

Dessican Vessel says:
COM: Shuttle: Wait, wait, wait! Fine, fine! We surrender- No!

ACTION: The Trill life sign is beamed out... and rematerializes on the shuttle, enshrouded in a cloth of some sort...

CSO_Marsland says:
::moves from his panel, after raising shields, and moves to the back, scanning the trill::

EO_Daniels says:
XO:  They are surrendering, Sir.

CNS_Solaa says:
::goes toward the transporter and speaks in Trill:: Trill: Are you hurt?

XO_Naegle-Marsland says:
Cadet: Acknowledged, Cadet.  Tell them we want all our questions we asked on the planet answered.

ACTION: The Trill mumbles, and turns... pushing back the cloth... it is John Powers...

EO_Daniels says:
XO:  Aye!

CSO_Marsland says:
::blinks:: John: John!

CNS_Solaa says:
::screams:: John: OH MY GOD!

XO_Naegle-Marsland says:
CSO: Is it him or a clone of him?

EO_Daniels says:
COM:  Dessican Shuttle:  We accept your surrender, and we are still looking for answers to the questions we asked on the planet.

Clone of John Powers says:
::murmurs:: CNS: ... Who... who are you?

Dessican Vessel says:
COM: Shuttle: Just stop shooting!

CNS_Solaa says:
::doesn't know what to do:: John: W-what??

MO_Turok says:
::Looks briefly at the CMO and continues working on the CO::

EO_Daniels says:
XO:  They have requested a cease fire, Sir.

XO_Naegle-Marsland says:
Cadet: Grant it.  But the questions must be answered.

CNS_Solaa says:
::tears well up in her eyes:: John: You're not John... are you...

CSO_Marsland says:
::scans John for DNA irregularities present in cloning techniques::

Clone of John Powers says:
::he turns away, dropping out of consciousness, weakened...::

EO_Daniels says:
COM:  Dessican Shuttle:  Acknowledged, but only if you answer our questions.

CNS_Solaa says:
::catches him but he's too heavy and they sink to the floor::

Dessican Vessel says:
COM: Shuttle: ... We concede to your demands.

CSO_Marsland says:
Ryn: Ryn, tend to him as best ya can. ::hands her his tricorder::

EO_Daniels says:
XO:  Sir, they concede.  Would you like to speak with them?

CNS_Solaa says:
MO: Turok! Get over here! He's hurt or something!

CSO_Marsland says:
::moves back to the front:: XO: Commander... John's..  it's his clone. ::sighs in frustration::

Andorian says:
::sits quietly...::

XO_Naegle-Marsland says:
CSO: Acknowledged, Lieutenant.

XO_Naegle-Marsland says:
Cadet: Yes.

EO_Daniels says:
XO:  I'll place them on speaker, Sir.  ::Places the communication on speaker.::  You're on, Sir.

CNS_Solaa says:
::drags the clone John out of the way and sits with him in her lap::

Dessican Vessel says:
COM: Shuttle: Let us beam aboard and we will answer whatever you ask. Just as long as we know you are not mishandling our product!

MO_Turok says:
::Looks over at the CMO:: CNS: Is it the doctor or not? I don't have time to invest if it isn't.

CNS_Solaa says:
::begins to cry:: ALL: We were so... so close...

XO_Naegle-Marsland says:
COM: Dessican Vessel: Fine, but no weapons of any kind, understood. ::motions to Tom to keep his weapon out::

CNS_Solaa says:
::sighs::

EO_Daniels says:
::Wonders why the Dessicans consider the clone CMO to be their property.::

Sec_Abbott says:
::growls to herself at hearing the comm:: All: The Dessicans are without as much honor as the Romulans... they must not be allowed to take this.... copy of our Doctor...

XO_Naegle-Marsland says:
Sec: Keep your weapon out, too, Lieutenant.

Dessican Vessel says:
COM: Shuttle: Okay, okay...

CSO_Marsland says:
::hears the MO:: MO: It's just a clone... ::holds his phaser pointed at the transporter pad:: XO: Ready when you are.

CNS_Solaa says:
::checks the pulse of the cloned John and smoothes back his hair::

EO_Daniels says:
SEC:  If they made a clone of our CMO, then that would mean that our CMO was there.  But what does this have to do with the Romulans?

XO_Naegle-Marsland says:
CSO: Energize.

ACTION: The Dessicans rematerialize on the shuttle... they resemble the Third and Fifth Ministers.

Sec_Abbott says:
::puts the shuttle on autopilot and pulls out her weapon. Standing with it aimed at the spot where they are to dematerialize::

Sec_Abbott says:
EO: This is an unjoined Trill... our doctor was joined... if the symbiont host had been taken from him, he would easily die...

XO_Naegle-Marsland says:
Dessicans: Welcome aboard.

ACTION: The Dessicans quickly rush forward, with a scanning equipment of some sort, to check on their product...

CSO_Marsland says:
::overhears the EO:: EO: It doesn't mean the.. oof! ::pushes the Dessicans back::

CSO_Marsland says:
EO: It doesn't mean the CMO was there, it means his DNA was there.

XO_Naegle-Marsland says:
Dessicans: Hold it!  Our doctor will take care of Dr. Powers -- or rather, his clone.

EO_Daniels says:
::Looks over at the CSO.::  CSO:  Well how'd they get his DNA then, Sir?

CSO_Marsland says:
EO: From anywhere he was, or anyone close to him was... a hair could've done it.  Or.. the Romulans could've given it to them.

CNS_Solaa says:
::tries not to sob as she cries:: Aloud: This is just w-worse than h-having him not be here!

Dessican Third Minister says:
EO: If I may interject, I had the pleasure of speaking to his... ah, handlers prior to the process. ::smiles::

Sec_Abbott says:
::holds her weapon on the Dessicans::

Sec_Abbott says:
::scowls::

EO_Daniels says:
CSO:  That's exactly what I mean.  He may not have been there, but obviously they have some connection to the Romulans.  ::Looks at the Dessican.::  Dessican Third:  Aye, and his handlers were?

CNS_Solaa says:
::glares at the Dessican:: Dessican Third: You're not going to touch him!

Dessican Fifth Minister says:
::glares at the Third, hesitates... before responding:: EO: A rather... rude Romulan woman, quite frankly They were here mere days ago... as I understand it, they were urgently needed on Romulus, and so did not wait for the product to be complete.

EO_Daniels says:
Dessican Fifth:  What did they want in exchange for his DNA?

Dessican Third Minister says:
::gently...:: CNS: If you do not allow me to attend to him, we could lose the product and our commission.

CSO_Marsland says:
Third: Oh well.  It's not ... he's... not just a product.

CNS_Solaa says:
Dessican Third: What do you need to do to him? He's unconscious.

Dessican Fifth Minister says:
EO: You do not understand the nature of our business. They came to us, we provide the product.

EO_Daniels says:
Dessican Fifth:  The product being clones?  What do you get in return for this?

CSO_Marsland says:
XO: I say we take... John.. and head for Romulus. It's obvious the Romulan wants a clone of him to use against Starfleet.

EO_Daniels says:
CSO:  When someone is cloned, does that mean their memories and knowledge is cloned as well?

XO_Naegle-Marsland says:
CSO: Agreed. Plot a course.

Dessican Fifth Minister says:
EO: Why, isn't it obvious? We get the genetic material to add to our database.

CNS_Solaa says:
Dessican Third: You're not going to hurt him, are you?

EO_Daniels says:
Dessican Fifth:  And you did this with his consent?

XO_Naegle-Marsland says:
Fifth/Third: You two are coming with us.

Dessican Third Minister says:
EO: Why would we need his consent? His owners brought him to us.

SO: Okay, what are you trying to do?

FCO_Lt_K`Tracht says:
CTO : Ramor... See if you can figure out the panel... CIV : Davis.. Cover the other end of the corridor..

FCO_Lt_K`Tracht says:
CIV: If anyone shows it's ugly head.. Just point, and shoot.

SO: I hear it. ::Tries to see if there is any correlation between Romulan and Vulcan writing::

CIV_LtJG_Davis says:
::nods to K'Tracht and takes up a position::

SO_Ens_York says:
CTO: Well, in theory we could use this ship's internal sensor grid to emit alpha-waves through out the ship.

CIV_LtJG_Davis says:
::looks forward, his palms sweating along the smooth disruptor::

CTO_Ens_Ramor says:
::frowns, and squints a closer look at the panel. It's clear as crystal to her, but she's not sure how to do this without setting off the Romulan's version of Ops:: SO: Alright. Uh, try... that, that, and then that, and tell me what it says. ::goes back to watching the corridor nervously::

Host Eric_W says:
ACTION: A schematic of the ship's interior appears on the screen...

FCO_Lt_K`Tracht says:
::ventures a bit farther down the corridor, hearing for any sounds coming their way::

SO_Ens_York says:
CTO: Eureka ?

CEO_Ens_Derryth says:
Quietly: Well that helps a bit.

CTO_Ens_Ramor says:

CIV: Working on it.

CEO_Ens_Derryth says:
FCO: Aye.

FCO_Lt_K`Tracht says:
::moves to the end of the corner, peering around the end of the corridor::

SO_Ens_York says:
FCO: I need the tricorder sir.

Host Eric_W says:
ACTION: The patter grows louder, and the FCO hears in the distance, a cry - the Romulans have spotted him, and are racing down the corridor, thirty metres away...

CTO_Ens_Ramor says:
::watches the opposite direction in the corridor, confident in K'tracht's ability to guard his side of things:: CIV: I guess?

CIV_LtJG_Davis says:

CTO_Ens_Ramor says:
SO: Is that the one I pointed a- yes, that one.

CEO_Ens_Derryth says:
::Sees the tricorder bounce off the FCO's back and scoops it up off the floor::

SO_Ens_York says:
::inputs the correct wave form::

CEO_Ens_Derryth says:
:: Activates the tricorder, hoping the fall didn't damage it::

CIV_LtJG_Davis says:
::continues firing, trying to use K'Tracht's fire as a distraction while he catches the Romulans trying to dodge the initial disruptor fire::

SO_Ens_York says:
CEO: Just don't lock on Solita's biosigns again!

Host Eric_W says:
ACTION: Two of the Romulans in the front are hit, and they collapse to the deck plating, but one of the Romulans manages to hit the FCO in the hand, destroying his weapon and burning his hand...

CTO_Ens_Ramor says:
::glances around nervously, and puts herself between the SO and the rather large number of incoming danger:: SO: At this point, I can stand a headache if it'll stop all this Lethal Intention flying around.

FCO_Lt_K`Tracht says:
::growls as he recoils his hand and behind the corner to cover::

SO_Ens_York says:
CTO: Ok we have the wave form input...now how to emit the waves !

CIV_LtJG_Davis says:
::dashes to the K'Tracht's position and pushes him back further behind the corner, then turns and continues firing::

SO_Ens_York says:
::sees her take a stand between him and the Romulans::

CEO_Ens_Derryth says:
:: Keeps trying to use the tricorder, as well not zap Solita either::

SO_Ens_York says:
Self: Here goes nothing... ::punches a few symbols and hopes for the best::

FCO_Lt_K`Tracht says:
::shakes head:: CIV : I'm fine.. ::fires with the other hand and disruptor around the corner::

CTO_Ens_Ramor says:
::frowns, and snaps off a shot or two as she feels it's safe::

CIV_LtJG_Davis says:
::fires off two more rounds, then uses K'Tracht's fire as cover as he races back to his former position, firing as he runs across the corridor::

CIV_LtJG_Davis says:
::kneels behind corner, catching his breath for a moment::

Host Eric_W says:
ACTION: Nothing happens... and then, a chirp from the display... Insufficient Access Privileges...

CEO_Ens_Derryth says:
SO: This tricorder isn't working!!

CTO_Ens_Ramor says:
::glances over at the chirp, and sighs:: SO: Dangit. Okay, push that so it saves the settings, and let me at the panel.

SO_Ens_York says:
CEO: Lock on to all Romulan biosigns, then just activate the wave emitter!

CIV_LtJG_Davis says:
::fires four shots in a row::

SO_Ens_York says:
CTO: Aye. ::saves the wave settings::

CEO_Ens_Derryth says:
:: Sets the tricorder to lock onto Romulans and activates the emitter again::

FCO_Lt_K`Tracht says:
CTO : Ramor.. Throw me one of your disruptors..

Host Eric_W says:
ACTION: The Romulans continue to head down the corridor, and as if running into a wall, two of them are hit by the CIV's weapons fire...

FCO_Lt_K`Tracht says:
::sets his own in a overload setting, and throws it down the corridor::

SO_Ens_York says:
CTO: All yours.

CEO_Ens_Derryth says:
::Sees the FCO toss his disruptor and retreats a few more meters::

CTO_Ens_Ramor says:
FCO: Sliding it on the ground- don't move your foot! ::slides a disrupter along the floor to K'tracht, aimed to stop against his foot::

Host Eric_W says:
ACTION: The phaser is tossed down the corridor, and magnificently explodes, destroying much of the corridor and, needless to say, the remaining Romulan guards...

CTO_Ens_Ramor says:
::hands her disrupter to the SO, and winks at him:: SO: Try not to cook me with your toys this time, okay?

FCO_Lt_K`Tracht says:
::kneels down and catches the disruptor neatly before it hits his foot, and trains it at the smike coming out of the corridor, waiting for any remaining Romulans to show::

CEO_Ens_Derryth says:
Aloud: Well that was... effective, are we all right?

SO_Ens_York says:
::grins back:: CTO: I'll do my best.

CIV_LtJG_Davis says:
ALL:  Fine here..

SO_Ens_York says:
::covers the CTO::

CTO_Ens_Ramor says:
::looks at the panel carefully, and rubs her hands a bit. takes a deep breath, and her fingers start to rapidly fly across the panel:: Self: Remember dad. Think -paranoid-.

CEO_Ens_Derryth says:
::Gives the tricorder back to the SO:: SO: I think its broken.

SO_Ens_York says:
::glances at Solita working her magic, then goes back to covering her::

FCO_Lt_K`Tracht says:
::satisfied that no one else was coming his way:: SO : York... If you don't hurry soon, we need to start moving towards this ship's bridge.

SO_Ens_York says:
CEO: And you call yourself an Engineer! ::grins::

CIV_LtJG_Davis says:
::loosens his grip on the disruptor just a little, waiting::

Host Eric_W says:
ACTION: Suddenly, as the SO and CTO work on the security settings, the security message disappears...

CEO_Ens_Derryth says:
SO: Well... that's what it says on the little sign on desk says.

SO_Ens_York says:
::hands the tricorder back to the CEO::  CEO: Rebooted it, try now.

SO_Ens_York says:
::glances at the panel:: CTO: You did it !

CEO_Ens_Derryth says:
SO: On what? Solita? I'd rather not.

SO_Ens_York says:
::moves away from the CEO and starts working on the computer panel::

CEO_Ens_Derryth says:
::Keeps the tricorder at the ready just in case, setting it for Romulans::

CIV_LtJG_Davis says:
::wonders what the hold up is here::

CTO_Ens_Ramor says:
::makes sure there's no other warnings pending, and nods at the SO:: SO: Ready for attempt two? I made sure to route power to automatically keep powering the sensors, too. you know... for when all the ship's technicians stop doing their jobs.

SO_Ens_York says:
CTO: You're my newest best friend Sol ! ::brings up the wave form::

FCO_Lt_K`Tracht says:
::rolls eyes at the CTO and SO:: SO : Just do it.. And find a way to bring down these security force fields while you're at it.. ::moves to the closest one, and fires his disruptor into it:

Host Eric_W says:
ACTION: Aside from some sparks, there is silence... no one approaching...

SO_Ens_York says:
ALL:: Here goes nothing ! ::activates the system::

CIV_LtJG_Davis says:
FCO:  Maybe we should just shoot them and take our chances.  ::shrugs::

Host Eric_W says:
ACTION: The forcefield flashes with energy, as the disruptor hits...

SO_Ens_York says:
CTO: You want to help with the forcefields?

Host Eric_W says:
ACTION: Silently, the entire ship is flooded with waves of the SO's design... the CTO can feel a jarring effect, but not as strongly as before...

CEO_Ens_Derryth says:
:: Hears the FCO and rips open another panel to look for power conduits that might power the fields::

FCO_Lt_K`Tracht says:
CIV : Somehow I doubt that would help... ::stops firing his own disruptor::

CTO_Ens_Ramor says:
::pauses, and seems to have missed the SO's last. she quickly holds a hand to the side of her head, and slowly brings it down:: SO: Sorry, what?

FCO_Lt_K`Tracht says:
::an idea starts forming in his head::

SO_Ens_York says:
CTO: We need to bring these forcefields down...if you feel up to it, I tried to keep you from the affects of the waves.

CIV_LtJG_Davis says:
::shrugs again::  FCO: I'd rather do that then listen to them going back and forth while doing nothing!

CEO_Ens_Derryth says:
Self: One of these has to carry the power to the force field emitters.

FCO_Lt_K`Tracht says:
All : Gentleman... I've got a plan to get us back to Federation space... We're gonna borrow this Warbird... ::grins::

CTO_Ens_Ramor says:
SO: Yeah... sure... we've still got the access privileges from the wave trick... uh... ::points at various parts of the monitor:: SO: Maybe we can cut off power to them?

CIV_LtJG_Davis says:
FCO:  And that is...?   ::a little skeptical given their predicament::

CEO_Ens_Derryth says:
:: Grins at that FCO's comment::

SO_Ens_York says:
CTO: Worth a try. ::tries shutting them down::

FCO_Lt_K`Tracht says:
CIV : Well.. We lock of the remaining Romulans...  Take control of the bridge, and "escort" the Apache to the Romulan Neutral zone.

Host Eric_W says:
ACTION: On the monitor, the display shows all Romulans on the deck, most of them incapacitated... but there is an odd anomaly in one of the rooms... a Trill lifesign...

FCO_Lt_K`Tracht says:
If anyone contacts us, we'll inform them we have captured the Federation ship, and are taking it into Federation territory for a Vital Tal'Shiar mission. ::smiles wide::

CIV_LtJG_Davis says:
::Looks at K'Tracht in disbelief::  FCO:  Seem a little easier to contemplate in theory than do in practice..

FCO_Lt_K`Tracht says:
CIV : Not if you consider we have a full crew compliment aboard the Apache. We can divide the crew on the two ships.

FCO_Lt_K`Tracht says:
CIV : That should be enough to adequately man each of them.

SO_Ens_York says:
FCO: Sir! We're reading a Trill lifeform onboard!

CEO_Ens_Derryth says:
::Sees what he thinks to be  a power distribution node and decides to disconnect the wires from it::

CTO_Ens_Ramor says:
FCO: Don't forget who you're dealing with. The Warbird crew will try just as hard as us to escape... and they've got power of numbers.

FCO_Lt_K`Tracht says:
::returns to the Console, on a quick pace:: SO : Where?

SO_Ens_York says:
::points to the far left:: FCO: Here.

CIV_LtJG_Davis says:
FCO, CTO:  That's why we should just kill all of them, or incapacitate them at the very least.  There isn't much room for error here..

FCO_Lt_K`Tracht says:
CTO : It would be easy to keep them unconscious with a continuous emission of that wave, or not?

FCO_Lt_K`Tracht says:
CIV : No. No more killing.

FCO_Lt_K`Tracht says:
All : Not while we have an obvious alternative.

CIV_LtJG_Davis says:
FCO: I'll tell you what, I'm not going to think twice about pulling the trigger at this point.  This isn't a laughing matter.

CIV_LtJG_Davis says:
FCO:  A few days or week sago I was on my way to my next job, now I'm in the middle of nowhere Romulan territory on a Warbird...

CTO_Ens_Ramor says:
CIV: We're not going to kill them.

SO_Ens_York says:
FCO: Sir..

SO_Ens_York says:
FCO: It's localized in a small chamber, approximately 50 metres down the corridor

FCO_Lt_K`Tracht says:
All : Davis, York, and Ryushi... Go check out that Trill.. The rest of us are heading for the bridge...

CEO_Ens_Derryth says:
::Gets up from the power cables, scratching his head :: Self: that should have done something.

SO_Ens_York says:
FCO: There's still this small problem with the forcefields.

FCO_Lt_K`Tracht says:
::frowns:: Davis : Lt... I'm giving you an order...

CEO_Ens_Derryth says:
::Grabs his disruptor and fires toward the forcefield::

SO_Ens_York says:
::tries working on bringing the forcefields down::

CIV_LtJG_Davis says:
::approaches K'Tracht::  FCO: That doesn't mean much to me right now.  But I'll listen just because I think you're giving us the best chance of getting the hell out of here.

SO_Ens_York says:
ALL: Seems the alpha waves seeped through the whole ship, we got them.

Host Eric_W says:
ACTION: The CEO continues to fire at the forcefield... and it crackles with energy ferociously... until finally, the power relays give and the forcefield drops...

CIV_LtJG_Davis says:
::looks at York and Ryushi::  SO, OPS: Let's go.

CEO_Ens_Derryth says:
Aloud: there we go.

FCO_Lt_K`Tracht says:
CIV : Good... ::smiles at the CEO:: CEO : I had every confidence in you chief. Alright.. Everyone.. Move out.

SO_Ens_York says:
CIV: Aye.

CEO_Ens_Derryth says:
FCO: Aye.

SO_Ens_York says:
::hands the disruptor back to the CTO:: CTO: You're a better shot than I am, good luck.

CIV_LtJG_Davis says:
::looks at York::  SO: You know where this thing is.  Lead the way - I'll be right behind you.

CTO_Ens_Ramor says:
FCO: Aye. I've got point. ::takes the disrupter, and nods at the SO:: SO: Luck? Oh c'mon. We're only stealing a starship.

SO_Ens_York says:
::smiles, then nods at the CIV::

FCO_Lt_K`Tracht says:
::follows Ramor:: CTO : I trust you know the way?

SO_Ens_York says:
CIV: Follow me.

CTO_Ens_Ramor says:
FCO: No clue, but I can read the street signs. ::points at a label as they pass by it::

CIV_LtJG_Davis says:
::follows closely behind, intent on not letting York down::

CEO_Ens_Derryth says:
:: Follows the CTO with the FCO::

SO_Ens_York says:
CIV: Just down this corridor sir.

FCO_Lt_K`Tracht says:
::chuckles:: Ramor : Aren't you just glad you joined Starfleet? I bet you ever thought you'd be serving as translator aboard a Romulan Warbird, huh?

Host Eric_W says:
ACTION: As the FCO and CTO heads down the corridor, they see incapacitated Romulans, lying unconscious on the deck plating...

CIV_LtJG_Davis says:
::nods::  SO:  Keep going, we're right here.

SO_Ens_York says:
::keeps going, a bit nervous::

FCO_Lt_K`Tracht says:
CTO : Looks like we hit the jackpot..

Host Eric_W says:
ACTION: The CIV and SO approach the doors to the chamber...

CTO_Ens_Ramor says:
::picks her way across the Romulans, disarming them along the way:: ALL: Yeah. Help me carry this stuff? And grab a tricorder if you can. I haven't seen one yet, and if I can't have a uniform, I -still- want a souvenir.

SO_Ens_York says:
::attempts to open the door::

CIV_LtJG_Davis says:
::prepares to rush::

FCO_Lt_K`Tracht says:
::grins:: CTO : Gladly... ::picks up two disruptors and a tricorder:: CEO : Chief.. You never know when you'll need the parts.

CEO_Ens_Derryth says:
CTO: Sure thing. :: Starts collecting weapons and other little tech bits::

Host Eric_W says:
ACTION: There is a panel next to the door...

CEO_Ens_Derryth says:
FCO: I always need the parts, I just don't know what to do with them yet ::smiles::

CTO_Ens_Ramor says:
::finds her way to a TL equivalent, and dials it up to drag everyone to the bridge...::

SO_Ens_York says:
::punches the panel in an attempt to open the door::

CTO_Ens_Ramor says:
Self: Huh... actually... ::dials it up for one deck -beneath- the bridge::

CIV_LtJG_Davis says:
::looks at York with a degree of surprise, wondering if the punch was the best approach to make::

FCO_Lt_K`Tracht says:
::enjoys the ride:: All : You know, if I knew you had this much fun on the Alpha Shift, I would have requested a transfer much sooner.

Host Eric_W says:
ACTION: The panel overloads... and the door opens up, slightly ajar...

CEO_Ens_Derryth says:
FCO: I'm still getting used to it.

CIV_LtJG_Davis says:
::jumps in to one side of the door, trying to push it open::

SO_Ens_York says:
::helps the CIV pushing at the door::

FCO_Lt_K`Tracht says:
CEO : Well Chief.. Think of it this way.. You'll have a good story to tell you grandchildren..

CIV_LtJG_Davis says:
::readies disruptor::

CEO_Ens_Derryth says:
FCO: If I ever HAVE grandchildren.

CMO_Lt_Powers says:
::is stirred awake by the door:: Self: Huh? What the...?

FCO_Lt_K`Tracht says:
::sounds a great "Hah" and slaps the Chief's back::

CIV_LtJG_Davis says:
::keeps pushing, as hard as he can;:

CEO_Ens_Derryth says:
::It stings::

CTO_Ens_Ramor says:
::carefully sets a pair of disrupters to overload when she pulls the triggers, and makes sure two more are ready to be easily grabbed off her belt. she plants herself in the middle of the turbolift, and nods at its control panel:: FCO: See the blue-green blinky? Lower right hand corner? Push that, please.

CMO_Lt_Powers says:
::gets up slowly and staggers towards the door::

CIV_LtJG_Davis says:
::peers into the crack between the doors and sees the man, who he vaguely recognizes from a personnel file he viewed immediately before arriving on the Apache::

CIV_LtJG_Davis says:
CMO:  Doctor....Doctor Powers, right?  ::through the door::

CEO_Ens_Derryth says:
::Readies his weapon::

FCO_Lt_K`Tracht says:
::pushes the button, and gets himself in a ready stance as well::

CMO_Lt_Powers says:
CIV: Err... yeah. Who are you? You don't sound Romulan.

SO_Ens_York says:
::peers through the door at the man inside:: CMO: Hey Doc !

CIV_LtJG_Davis says:
::smiles a little as he continues to push to provide the doctor with enough room to get out::

CIV_LtJG_Davis says:
CMO: I'm not....my name is Davis, this is Ensign York...we're from the Apache.

CMO_Lt_Powers says:
SO: Not so loud...

CMO_Lt_Powers says:
CIV: Apache!? What are you doing here?

Host Eric_W says:
ACTION: The door slides open, and the bridge appears before their eyes... guards, officers slumped over their consoles...

CIV_LtJG_Davis says:
CMO: You wouldn't believe me if I told you.  There will be time for that later...we need to get out of here.

SO_Ens_York says:
CMO: Headache? You know what they say...physician, heal thyself ::smiles at the Doctor then extends his hand::

FCO_Lt_K`Tracht says:
::sheathes his weapons in his belt, slaps the CTO slightly on the back:: CTO : See? Nothing to worry about.

CEO_Ens_Derryth says:
::Sighs in relief and exits off the TL, cautiously::

CMO_Lt_Powers says:
::Shakes the SO's hand:: SO/CIV: You shouldn't be here! What's going on? Where are the Romulans?

SO_Ens_York says:
CMO: Asleep.

CTO_Ens_Ramor says:
::stutter-steps forward from the slap:: FCO: It's my job to be paranoid. ::moves onto the bridge, and unsets the two disrupters so they won't overload. And if there's a replicator up here, she makes herself a uniform::

FCO_Lt_K`Tracht says:
::looks around:: All : Alright... Ramor, Derryth.. I want all the Romulans beamed to one of this ship's cargo bays.

CTO_Ens_Ramor says:
::pauses in her quest, and sighs to herself:: FCO: Aye, sir.

CMO_Lt_Powers says:
Self: This isn't right. This isn't supposed to happen.

CIV_LtJG_Davis says:
::motions back the way they came::  SO, CMO:  Let's go.

CEO_Ens_Derryth says:
::Uses the tricorder to determine where transporter control would be:: FCO: Aye.

FCO_Lt_K`Tracht says:
::moves to the pilot seat, and glances over the controls::

CIV_LtJG_Davis says:
SO, CMO: We'll try to rendezvous with the rest of the crew at the Bridge..hopefully they've had success.

SO_Ens_York says:
CIV: Yes sir.

FCO_Lt_K`Tracht says:
::grumbles:: All : Not good.

CEO_Ens_Derryth says:
FCO: Sir?

CTO_Ens_Ramor says:
::frowns at a panel:: FCO: We're cloaked, sir...heading for Romulus. There's no ship on sensors... I don't -think- they would take the time to rig the Apache for any kind of high-speed tow.

FCO_Lt_K`Tracht says:
::slides the unconscious Romulan off the console, and sits down::

SO_Ens_York says:
::sees a lift at the end of the corridor::

CIV_LtJG_Davis says:
::takes the rear, as he figures York has a better idea of where he's going - at least better than he does, anyway::

CMO_Lt_Powers says:
CIV: Success! This is one big cock-up. Take me to whoever is in charge... err, you're going to have to help me walk I'm afraid.

FCO_Lt_K`Tracht says:
::studies the panel, and presses the button he thinks is the one to drop the ship out of warp::

SO_Ens_York says:
::glances at the CMO:: Self: Interesting fella.

Host Eric_W says:
ACTION: The Warbird drops out of warp...

CIV_LtJG_Davis says:
::aids the Doctor as they head through the corridor::

SO_Ens_York says:
CIV: Here sir, we can ride this lift to the bridge.

FCO_Lt_K`Tracht says:
::grins to himself:: All : Looks like Flight Control consoles are readable in any language.::

FCO_Lt_K`Tracht says:
CTO : Just get the Romulans secured... I've stopped the ship, we can deal with the rest later.

CEO_Ens_Derryth says:
Aloud: Damn Romulans and their tangentially derivative language!

CIV_LtJG_Davis says:
::nods to York and heads into the lift with the Doctor::

CMO_Lt_Powers says:
CIV: What happened to Korata?

SO_Ens_York says:
Computer: Bridge.

FCO_Lt_K`Tracht says:
CTO : Oh and... Try to contact the rest of the team, and have us meet here when they are done.

SO_Ens_York says:
Computer: Hello Computer?

CIV_LtJG_Davis says:
::shrugs::  CMO:  I stopped keeping score a long time ago...all I know is, we are deep in Romulan space.

CTO_Ens_Ramor says:
FCO: Aye, sir. ::Fiddles with the computer systems, and starts work on doing what the FCO wants...::

CEO_Ens_Derryth says:
:: Still looking for the transport controls... watching for an engineering console as well::

CMO_Lt_Powers says:
CIV: Think damn you, this is important!

CIV_LtJG_Davis says:
::gets a little closer to Powers, a distance some might regard as uncomfortable::

CIV_LtJG_Davis says:
CMO: Don't let this uniform fool you, Doctor, and don't talk to me like  I'm a plebe or something.

CMO_Lt_Powers says:
::looks at the CIV's pips:: CIV: Look here LtJG, you will refer to me as sir and answer my damn question.

CEO_Ens_Derryth says:
:: Finally found the transport controls and locks on to all Romulan biosigns except the half-breed Solita and sets a cascading teleportation routine to deposit our captor into their cargo holds::

CIV_LtJG_Davis says:
::takes the pips off his collar and tosses them at Powers::

Host Eric_W says:
ACTION: The Romulans are beamed into a cargo hold, one by one...
