USS Apache - 10510.07 - "In The Shadows", part XX

Host Adm_Woo says:
The crew of the Apache, firmly established on the Quintorax in the heart of the Romulan Star Empire, have recaptured the Apache from the Romulans, minutes before its arrival at Belak.

Host Adm_Woo says:
And they are on the run, with two D'Deridex-class warbirds and one Valdore-class warbird rapidly catching up to them...

Host Adm_Woo says:
And on the Quintorax, they face internal troubles as well... when the doors to the turbolift open, revealing a very much armed, very obstinate Adm. Woo...

Host Adm_Woo says:
A man determined to do whatever it takes to see his work complete... a man willing to betray both his allies and his enemies... by whom he himself has been betrayed.

Host Adm_Woo says:
The nightmare is not over... why Romulus? Why is the Apache here? Why is Adm. Woo on the Quintorax? Why was John Powers cloned?

Host Adm_Woo says:
Many questions... perhaps ones that Adm. Woo... Korata... and Senator Amygda can answer...

SO_Ens_York says:

Host Adm_Woo says:
<John's Clone> CNS: Why are you stressing like this, counselor?

CTO_ENS_Solita says:
::is aware that she has a few more disrupters nearby, so nods and starts to slowly lower her disrupter. And STILL looks confused::

CNS_LtJG_Solaa says:
Clone: Because, as usual, you know nothing. Not that it’s your clone fault... but you are John Powers... sorta...

TO_Ens_Traynor says:
::stands down, but is ready to fight::

FCO_Lt_K`Tracht says:
::eyes the CO, but only lets go of the knife, keeping it sheathed::

CEO_Ens_Derryth says:
::Sees the crew in sickbay bickering amongst themselves and decided to take matters into his own rather red, throbbing hands.::

Host Adm_Woo says:
::he frowns... looking around:: CO: I could ask you the same thing. You were NEVER meant to be involved in this. But evidently, the Masters have decided that you too will have a part. It can only be by their hand, that I find you here, on the Quintorax of all places, here of all times... ::he slowly lowers his phaser...::

Host Adm_Woo says:
<John's Clone> CNS: You should take something for your anxiety... you're a counselor, certified drug-pusher, no?

CNS_LtJG_Solaa says:
::puts her hands on her hips and stares hard at the clone:: Clone: So what do I call you? John? Clone? What?

SO_Ens_York says:

Host Adm_Woo says:
CO: I did no such thing. You were not meant to be involved, and yet your curiosity got the better of you. And now, you will most likely die... but I can help you. Who are the Masters? You know them, you have been touched by them, all of you... But the fact of the matter is, I need you. And you need me.

Host Adm_Woo says:
CO: Without my assistance, you can never hope to escape the Empire. At best, you would be captured and detained as illegal aliens. At worst... you would be killed before anyone knew what you were doing.

OPS_LtJG_Ryushi says:
::nods to the CO and steps out from behind the Ops console, walking around to stand beside the Captain and address Woo directly, his hands clasped behind his back::  Woo: If I may ask, Admiral, what is the significance of this vessel?

CNS_LtJG_Solaa says:
Clone: Uh, no. Even though, yes, I do excel in the chemical arts... but---oh, forget it!

CTO_ENS_Solita says:

Woo:Tell me that you don’t believe what those Pah’Wraiths told you.

EO_LtJG_Ayala says:

Host Adm_Woo says:
OPS/CO/All: Let's just say... that I needed this vessel... yet I have been betrayed... ::he looks around the bridge:: ... This is not about the Pah'Wraiths anymore, Captain... Now, tell me. Have you released John Powers? I suppose there is no harm in telling you what has happened, you deserve to know I suppose...

Host Adm_Woo says:
<John's Clone> CNS: So, what do you want to know? ::he looks over his shoulder, and seeing a struggling CEO...:: CNS: I think that man over there needs assistance. ::he pushes himself off the biobed:: CEO: What seems to be the trouble? ::grabbing a tricorder, he starts to scan him::

CO_Storal says:
Woo:You’re darn right I deserve to know. I wont release anyone. Until I know what is happening.

CEO_Ens_Derryth says:
Clone: I burned the living crap out of my hands.

Host Adm_Woo says:
::he nods... and moves towards a seat...:: CO: But first... I don't believe I need to point out to any of you that the Romulans can see the Apache even if the Quintorax is cloaked or not... I suggest... ::he glares at the CSO, SO, CEO and EO:: ... That you do something immediately to rectify this.

EO_LtJG_Ayala says:
::gulps::

CO_Storal says:
Woo:What would you suggest...

FCO_Lt_K`Tracht says:
Adm : Maybe we should beam you out into space and let your.. "allies" rescue you...

Host Adm_Woo says:
<John's Clone> CEO: So I see. ::he grabs a dermal regenerator and brusquely waves it over the CEO's burns...:: This will probably make you feel better. And if not... walk it off. ::he heads over to the replicator:: CEO: I'm prescribing an analgesic. Use it.

SO_Ens_York says:
CO: Captain, we've never been able to study a Romulan cloaking device before, not like this...I'm as green as a first year cadet when it comes to controlling it.

Host Adm_Woo says:
CO: I suggest you ask your crew, as I have more important things to do... such as explaining to you what's happening...

OPS_LtJG_Ryushi says:
::notices the comm panel beeping, and presses the button:: ::whispering:: COM: Apache: My apologies, Lieutenant.  A bit of a... tedious... situation on Quintorax right now.

CNS_LtJG_Solaa says:
Clone: Wait just a minute now...!

CEO_Ens_Derryth says:
Clone: I'll use it... as long as it gets me  back to work... did you see what they did to the Apache? It'll take some creative repairing to get her back to something resembling normal.

Host Adm_Woo says:
<John's Clone> CNS: Yes, counselor?

MO_LtJg_Turok says:
::Wanders into sickbay::

CNS_LtJG_Solaa says:

CTO_ENS_Solita says:
Self: What a rude little tru'al- CO: Sir, we won't be able to defend against those incoming Romulan vessels. The first will intercept in 15 minutes, and slow us down. The others will fall in behind and shred us.

SO_Ens_York says:
::smiles nervously at the Captain:: CO: Aye sir.

CEO_Ens_Derryth says:
CNS: I'm gonna call him Doc... I think.

CNS_LtJG_Solaa says:
CEO: He's not Dr. Powers though!

Host Adm_Woo says:

SO_Ens_York says:
*CEO*: Mr. Derryth? Is there any way to extend our cloak over the Apache, as one would extend shields?

CNS_LtJG_Solaa says:
Clone: Don't call me "counselor"... It's like you don't know me--oh, well, you don't. Call me Rynia.

Host Adm_Woo says:
CO: No... I cannot. That is why I need your help... the Romulans, they... they have deceived me. I have deceived them... ::he turns around to face the others:: ... It all starts and ends on Romulus. They... do not understand why I am doing this. They chose to take advantage of my desperation.

<John's Clone> CEO: Well, you should be good to go.

SO_Ens_York says:
CO: Captain, I think it's time Solita gets that uniform she's been asking for.

CTO_ENS_Solita says:

@::On entering Engineering he heads directly for the "pool table" to assess the situation::

CO_Storal says:
Woo:First we try...then we trust... You can speak to her later.

CNS_LtJG_Solaa says:
Clone: Well, then we have to send you back to Trill... because you can't have Powers.

CSO_Lt_Marsland says:
@COM: Quintorax: FCO: People? I'm the only one here.

CEO_Ens_Derryth says:
@Aloud to Eng. Crew: What's wrong with my engines people?

Host Adm_Woo says:
CO: It may benefit you to speak to her as well, Captain. But as you like. The ship is yours.

CTO_ENS_Solita says:
SO: Oh, so you -like- helpless young women, is that it? ::gives him a mock-horrified glare::

FCO_Lt_K`Tracht says:
::frowns:: COMM Apache : Did something go wrong with the transport? You shouldn't be by now...

SO_Ens_York says:
::throws Sol a lopsided grin, then turns his attention back to the sensors::

CO_Storal says:
CTO:Bring Korata to the conference lounge. We are going to need to hear from her

OPS_LtJG_Ryushi says:
CO: Captain...

CTO_ENS_Solita says:
CO: Aye sir. Moving, sir.

CSO_Lt_Marsland says:

CEO_Ens_Derryth says:
@::Salutes the CSO as he passes by him::

CSO_Lt_Marsland says:
@COM: Quintorax: Beam me over? Sometime today?

Clone: Doctor...?

CO_Storal says:
FCO:You have the con.

OPS_LtJG_Ryushi says:
::nods to the Captain and shifts his gaze a bit, stepping out from behind the console:: CO: Thank you, sir.

Host Adm_Woo says:
<John's Clone> ::he stays silent for a moment...:: CNS: No.

FCO_Lt_K`Tracht says:
::nods:: CO : Aye sir..

CO_Storal says:
Woo:Let's go.

CNS_LtJG_Solaa says:
Clone: What do you mean, "no?"

Host Adm_Woo says:
::he follows the CO:: 

Host Adm_Woo says:
<John's Clone> CNS: ... I know what I have to do. 

FCO_Lt_K`Tracht says:
::finishes inputting the new heading, engages the slow acceleration program, and leaves the Conn to head for the Big Chair(tm)::

OPS_LtJG_Ryushi says:
::follows the CO into the lounge::

CNS_LtJG_Solaa says:
Clone: What?! What are you talking about?!

SO_Ens_York says:
::studies his readouts:: Self: Wow, a class 2 comet.

CEO_Ens_Derryth says:
@:: Checks engine status:: Aloud to self/ship: Come on girl, show me where it hurts.

CO_Storal says:
*CSO*:Meet us in the conference lounge.

Host Adm_Woo says:
ACTION: On the EO's console, she sees very minor fluctuations in the cloaking device field geometry... perhaps it's not as stable as the CEO had thought it would be...

EO_LtJG_Ayala says:
::glances around the Bridge and shuts her case:: SO: Soo...we're gonna live through this, right?

CSO_Lt_Marsland says:
*CO*: On my way. ::takes off at a sprint from the bridge into the conference lounge::

CTO_ENS_Solita says:
::goes straight to the conference lounge, and waits there with a phaser in one hand. In her other hand is a Romulan PADD, which she uses to get the ship to beam the two Koratas to the conference lounge:: Self: Why be a tough grunt when you can be a lazy slug, right dad?

SO_Ens_York says:
::looks up at the EO:: EO: Sure, why not?

Host Adm_Woo says:
ACTION: The two unconscious Koratas are beamed to the Conference lounge...

CNS_LtJG_Solaa says:
::grabs his arm with both of her hands and pleads with her eyes:: Clone: No no no... you can't. You'll kill John...!

::enters the conference lounge and takes a seat. *TO*:Mr Traynor, can you join us please.

EO_LtJG_Ayala says:
::nervous smile:: SO: It's my first deep space assignment....My mom was right..it's scary out there.

Host Adm_Woo says:
<John's Clone> CNS: ... Kill John?

CTO_ENS_Solita says:
*SO*: Ensign York, could you somehow manage to get it so the Conference Lounge is -not- affected by Alpha waves? I imagine the captain wants these two -awake- and talking.

SO_Ens_York says:
*CTO*: Sure thing Sol.

SO_Ens_York says:
EO: Don't worry, we've come thins far.

CEO_Ens_Derryth says:
@Aloud to crew: I need a crew to check the intermix lines. 
Host Adm_Woo says:
::he steps into the conference lounge, and his eyes rest on the two unconscious Koratas... his eyes burn with anger...::

TO_Ens_Traynor says:
*CO*: On my way, sir.

TO_Ens_Traynor says:
::walks over to the conference lounge and enters::

CSO_Lt_Marsland says:
::skids into the conference room, glaring at Woo:: Woo: You.... you bastard!  After all we've been through... you betray us.

CTO_ENS_Solita says:
*SO*: Thanks. ::puts away the PADD in favor of.. a second disrupter!::

CNS_LtJG_Solaa says:
Clone: If you take Powers from him, he'll die!

Host Adm_Woo says:
CSO: I have nothing to say to you, Tom.

CSO_Lt_Marsland says:
CO: Of course, Sir. ::Takes his seat::

Host Adm_Woo says:
ACTION: Slowly, the two Koratas reawaken... their eyes open... and when they realize where they are, they sit up...

CTO_ENS_Solita says:
::nods at the captain, and takes up an honor guard position. I.E. a place where she can shoot anyone she pleases::

TO_Ens_Traynor says:
CO: Aye, sir.  They won't, if I have anything to do with it.

Host Adm_Woo says:
<John's Clone> CNS: ... But if I don't, I will die...

OPS_LtJG_Ryushi says:
::stands, feet apart, hands clasped behind his back, at the opposite end of the table from the captain::

EO_LtJG_Ayala says:
::looks over at her console:: Self: Aww jeez...aww jeez... ::shakes hands nervously, then begins typing quickly::

Host Adm_Woo says:
<Senator Korata Amygda> ::she looks up, and looks at the CO:: CO: ... What is the meaning of this? Where am- ::she looks over, and sees her clone:: Self: Oh, no...

CNS_LtJG_Solaa says:
::shakes her head vigorously:: Clone: No no you won't! Trills don't have to have symbionts to live. Look at me! I don't have one and I've been living 22 years.

FCO_Lt_K`Tracht says:
::notices the smell of adrenaline coming from the EO:: EO : Something wrong, Lieutenant?

Host Adm_Woo says:
<John's Clone> CNS: They will kill me if I don't...

CO_Storal says:
Senator Korata:I don’t know you tell me.

EO_LtJG_Ayala says:
FCO: Ummm.....I can fix it....Self: I hope.

TO_Ens_Traynor says:
::watches the Captain, the Admiral and the two Koratas::

SO_Ens_York says:
::looks at his scanners again:: Self: Ooh, another comet.

FCO_Lt_K`Tracht says:
::frowns:: EO : That doesn't sound reassuring Lieutenant.. ::starts getting up from his chair::

CNS_LtJG_Solaa says:
Clone: What? Who will?

Host Adm_Woo says:
<John’s Clone> ::he looks to the side, and grabs a laser scalpel... quickly slamming it up against the CNS' nose, pushing her back...:: CNS: ... I'm sorry... but this is something I must do. I must complete my mission...

EO_LtJG_Ayala says:
::reroutes the Osmotic feed translator through the Molecular gradient inhibitor:: Self: Come on..

CEO_Ens_Derryth says:
@Aloud to crew: Status of the plasma transfer conduit?

Host Adm_Woo says:
::he looks down, and to the side...:: Korata Clone: You stupid bitch... you think you can double-cross me and get away with it... ::he looks to the other side, and in one smooth motion, grabs the TO's phaser, dials it up and fires at Korata's clone... vaporizing her...::

CEO_Ens_Derryth says:
@Aloud: Check those injectors too.

Host Adm_Woo says:
ACTION: The CNS is knocked back to the ground... as John's Clone gets up, with the laser scalpel, and heads over to the Doctor's lab...
