::sitting on the Runabout, checking systems status::
CIV_LtJG_Davis says:
::holds position, with shields raised, and awaits the captain's orders::
Host CO_Capt_Storal says:
::standing behind the CIV:: COM:Gier: Well since you do not wish to divulge the information we need. I believe we will withold the power coupling.
Host Damon_Gier says:
::opens the COM back up:: COM: CO: Ok Captain here's my offer. The earth whiskey, 5 bars of latium and the only info I can give you is to stay away from Likkan.
Host CO_Capt_Storal says:
COM:Gier: No good. Its not profitable. We already know to stay away from Likkan.
CIV_LtJG_Davis says:
::regards their interaction with this Ferengi piece of trash as a complete waste of time::
Host CO_Capt_Storal says:
COM:Gier:I know that you have done business with him. You have one more chance.
Host Damon_Gier says:
COM: CO: Well captain it is good advice. I had 2 friends that once dealt with Likkan and he had them shot because he thought that they were cheating him. So I never dealt with him.
Host CO_Capt_Storal says:
COM:Gier:But you know where he is. CIV:Prepare to resume course and heading...
CIV_LtJG_Davis says:
::looks back over his shoulder:: CO: This is a waste...we should leave them and get on with it. We'd be better off on our own.
CIV_LtJG_Davis says:
CIV: Aye, sir. ::makes appropriate adjustments and prepares to engage::
CSO_LtJG_York says:
::turns to Bill:: CIV: Not too fond of the big ears, eh?
CIV_LtJG_Davis says:
CSO: Or the lying, cheating, and general lack of morality, no.
CIV_LtJG_Davis says:
::shrugs::
CSO_LtJG_York says:
::chuckles::
Host Damon_Gier says:
COM: CO: There is one thing that might interest you. and that is that Damon Bollo was to meet with him in 2 days at these coordinates. :: sends the Coordinates:: However his ship suffered a warp core breech 3 days ago and I dont believe that anyone told Likkan about it yet.
CIV_LtJG_Davis says:
::receives the coordinates and keeps them easily accessible::
Host CO_Capt_Storal says:
COM:Gier:Very well. CIV:Change heading to those coordinates. CSO:What lies at those coordinates Mr. York.
CSO_LtJG_York says:
::starts a long range scan for anti-matter residue while listening to the conversation::
CIV_LtJG_Davis says:
::adjusts heading and waits for the captain to confirm::
CSO_LtJG_York says:
CO: One moment Captain.
Host CO_Capt_Storal says:
CEO:Prepare to beam over the coupling...
CEO_Ens_Tyler says:
CO: Ready when you are, Sir.
Host Damon_Gier says:
COM:CO: So I take it we have a deal?
CSO_LtJG_York says:
CO: Captain, we are registering a moon at those coordinates, deep inside the nebula.
Host CO_Capt_Storal says:
COM:Gier:It seems that we do. If this is a raw deal. I will find you, dip your lobes in cheddar cheese and let rabid Voles feast on them... Are we clear?
CIV_LtJG_Davis says:
::looks at York:: CSO: Cheddar cheese?
CSO_LtJG_York says:
CIV: Don't look at me.
CIV_LtJG_Davis says:
CSO: I would have said mozzarella probably.
Host Damon_Gier says:
COM:CO: Very clear Captain. Here are the coordinates for the Whiskey you can transport it when we recieve the coupling.
CSO_LtJG_York says:
CIV: You know....sometimes I have no idea as to what goes on inside that head of yours.
CIV_LtJG_Davis says:
::points to head:: CSO: I can give you an idea.
CIV_LtJG_Davis says:
CSO: In short, little to nothing..
Host CO_Capt_Storal says:
CEO:Energize Mr. Tyler. Beam over the coupling and whiskey.
CSO_LtJG_York says:
::laughs::
CEO_Ens_Tyler says:
::energizes::
Host CO_Capt_Storal says:
COM:Gier:Cumberland out... CIV:Engage Mr. Davis. Warp 5
Host Damon_Gier says:
::watches as the coupling materalizes:: COM: CO: I am very thankful you have your whiskey and the latium is with it. ::closes COMs::
CIV_LtJG_Davis says:
CO: Aye, sir...warp 5. ::double-checks coordinates, then puts the small craft into warp speed::
CIV_LtJG_Davis says:
CO: Lower shields, sir?
Host CO_Capt_Storal says:
CIV:Nope. Keep them up until we are out of weapons range
Host Tailjn says:
CO: Captain are you thinking what I am?
CIV_LtJG_Davis says:
::nods::
Host CO_Capt_Storal says:
Tailjn: Its a possibility. What is on your mind.
CIV_LtJG_Davis says:
CSO: Incidentally, not nearly as much as what goes on in that head.. ::gestures to Tailjn::
Host Tailjn says:
CO: Going in as the Ferengi ship that is suppost to meet Likkan?
CSO_LtJG_York says:
CIV: An endless game of chess my friend...
CIV_LtJG_Davis says:
::turns chair towards York:: CSO: See, I thought it was more like a gerbil running in one of those little exercise wheels.
Host CO_Capt_Storal says:
Tailjn:It seems that we do think alike.
CSO_LtJG_York says:
CIV: Common misunderstanding.
Host Tailjn says:
CO: There is one problem that I see and hope you know a way around it.
Host CO_Capt_Storal says:
CEO:Mr. Tyler. Configure the holo emitters to emulate a Ferengi shuttle.
CEO_Ens_Tyler says:
::blinks:: CO: ...aye, Sir..
CIV_LtJG_Davis says:
CSO: Ahh...::smiles a little and turns back to console, checking the status of the engines quickly::
Host CO_Capt_Storal says:
Tailjn:We only have to get in the door. The rest perhaps will be a bit more difficult
CSO_LtJG_York says:
::focus his attention back on his console, not wanting to fall into the trap they are most likely walking into::
CEO_Ens_Tyler says:
::taps away at the control panel:: CO: Emitters... should be showing a Ferengi shuttle now.
Host Tailjn says:
CO: That is true seeing that we have no ideal what Bollo was suppose to be delivering.
Host CO_Capt_Storal says:
CSO:If there is so much as a strange anomoly on the screen. Let me know.
CIV_LtJG_Davis says:
Tailjn, CO: The trick, then, is to come up with something that will be even more valuable than whatever that was.
CSO_LtJG_York says:
CO: Aye Captain.
Host Tailjn says:
CO: I will then leave that to you.
CIV_LtJG_Davis says:
Tailjn, CO: Make it appear as though we can stave off Bollo's competition with a better product or deal.
Host CO_Capt_Storal says:
CIV:True.. I only hope something comes to mind when we get there... ::chuckles::
Host Tailjn says:
Action: The shuttle reaches the edge of the nebula.
CIV_LtJG_Davis says:
::frowns:: CO: Yea, nothing is really coming to mind here either.
Host CO_Capt_Storal says:
CEO:Can you make it seem that our out-going video is down.
CIV_LtJG_Davis says:
CO: We've reached the perimeter of the nebula, sir.
Host CO_Capt_Storal says:
::nods the the CIV:: CSO:Anything on sensors?
CSO_LtJG_York says:
CO: We are at the edge of the nebula...might affect our sensory capability....so far nothing.
CIV_LtJG_Davis says:
CO, CSO: Dropping to impulse based on that..
Host CO_Capt_Storal says:
CIV:Bring us out of warp and take us in.
CIV_LtJG_Davis says:
::slows the runabout to full impulse and heads into the nebula::
CSO_LtJG_York says:
CO: Captain, the long range sensors are almost of no use to us while in the nebula....but nothing visible on short range.
Host CO_Capt_Storal says:
All:Well I am hoping they will contact us soon.
Host CO_Capt_Storal says:
All:I'm sure that they know we are here.
CIV_LtJG_Davis says:
::turns in chair 180 degrees::
CSO_LtJG_York says:
::turns to the Captain:: CO: I have the moon on SRS, current ETA one day.
CIV_LtJG_Davis says:
CEO: Any ideas to help filter some of this nonsense out of the sensors?
Host Tailjn says:
::sets in her seat watching the crew as they work::
Host CO_Capt_Storal says:
CSO:Can you detect any structure on the moon?
CSO_LtJG_York says:
CO: I might...still sensor resolution is pretty bad in here. ::turns to the new CEO:: CEO: Mr. Tyler, any way to boost my gain?
CIV_LtJG_Davis says:
::attempts to double feed all incoming sensor data so that the sensors have a look at it once, then process is again a second time; he's not sure if this will do anything, but he wants to make some improvements::
Host Tailjn says:
Action: SRS pick up a blip then it disappears.
CSO_LtJG_York says:
CO: Sorry Captain, I am unable to read any structures on the moon...still too far away.....uhm hey, we got something.
Host CO_Capt_Storal says:
CSO:What is it Mr. York?
CSO_LtJG_York says:
CO: Unsure Captain...something registered for a split second, then dissapeared...might be an effect of the nebula...still.
Host CO_Capt_Storal says:
CSO:Input whatver data showed.. then if it appears again.. you can theoretically update the image as more comes in.
CEO_Ens_Tyler says:
CO: Outgoing video for comms will be down when the array is used. CIV: Not particularly. CSO: You've got whatever power I can give you.
Host Tailjn says:
Action: SRS pick up another blip on the opposite side of where the other one was and it too disappears as quickly.
CSO_LtJG_York says:
CO: There we go again Captain, seems to be a moving target.
CIV_LtJG_Davis says:
::recalibrates short range sensors to focus additional cells on smaller areas, narrowing their short range sensor scope but hopefully refining its accuracy::
Host Tailjn says:
CO: Captain it may be some of Likkan's patrol ship.
CSO_LtJG_York says:
All: Probably cloaked.
Host CO_Capt_Storal says:
Tailjn:Most likely.
Host CO_Capt_Storal says:
CSO:I dont think a cloak will operate in the nebula..
CIV_LtJG_Davis says:
CO, CSO: Any tachyon readings or ionic interference that might suggest a cloak at least..?
CSO_LtJG_York says:
CO: Might be why we are registering it....not working in the nebula.
Host CO_Capt_Storal says:
CSO:You have a point.
CSO_LtJG_York says:
All: Running a tachyon scan now.....but the ionic readings are off the scale....we are in a nebula after all.
CIV_LtJG_Davis says:
CSO: True, but the particles would occur at a relatively natural rate, whereas a cloak would produce a huge concentration.
CIV_LtJG_Davis says:
CSO: In comparison, anyway.
CSO_LtJG_York says:
CIV: But our sensor capability is not very clear at the moment....but it's a good theory.
Host Tailjn says:
Action: SRS sensors pick up 5 ships heading toward them all from different directions.
CSO_LtJG_York says:
::his console beeps::
CIV_LtJG_Davis says:
::his does too - he prepares for evasive action::
CSO_LtJG_York says:
All: Five ships!
CIV_LtJG_Davis says:
CSO: Do they have weapons armed or shields up?
CSO_LtJG_York says:
::turns to the Captain:: CO: They are coming at us from all sides, all ships register as Metron Consortium classes...no, no weapons or shields.
CIV_LtJG_Davis says:
::continues course, awaiting orders::
Host Tailjn says:
Action: The shuttle is being hailed.
CIV_LtJG_Davis says:
CO: Incoming transmission, sir.
CEO_Ens_Tyler says:
CO: Audio only outgoing.
Host CO_Capt_Storal says:
CSO:Acknowledged CIV:All stop. Lets hear it.
Host CO_Capt_Storal says:
CEO:Thank you Mr. Tyler. ::grins:: Hopefully it will give us an edge.
CIV_LtJG_Davis says:
::brings the ship to a smooth deceleration, then brings the transmission to the speakers::
Host Tailjn says:
<Frase>COM: Shuttle: Ferengi Vessel state your reason for being here?
CIV_LtJG_Davis says:
::curses silently to himself - ANOTHER Ferengi...::
Host CO_Capt_Storal says:
COM:Frase:We have a scheduled meeting with Mr. Likkan. We have something for him.
CIV_LtJG_Davis says:
::would be interested to know what that something is exactly::
Host Frase says:
COM: CO: Bollo is that you? You are a day early.
Host CO_Capt_Storal says:
COM:Frase: Sorry we had to increase our arrival. There were some issues.
Host Frase says:
COM: CO: Well Likkan is not going to like this. Also did you remember to bring the Bloodwine that I ordered?
Host CO_Capt_Storal says:
COM:Frase:Of course. What kind of entreprenuer would I be if I didn't come through for my customers.
CSO_LtJG_York says:
::shakes his head....wondering if a REAL Ferengi would ever know the word 'entreprenuer'::
CIV_LtJG_Davis says:
::in a similar light, he tries to figure out whether a Ferengi is even capable of counting high enough to tell how many letters are in the world entreprenuer::
Host Frase says:
COM: CO: Very Good stand by while I contact Likkan to see what he wants done with you. Also are you having problem with your video as you have not shown you self know that you know who I am?
Host CO_Capt_Storal says:
COM:Frase:That is part of the issues that I stated earlier.
Host Frase says:
COM:CO Roger you are to let us take you in tow as the meeting place has changed since you decided to arrive early.
Host CO_Capt_Storal says:
COM:Frase: Acknowledged.
CIV_LtJG_Davis says:
Self: Uhh.......
CSO_LtJG_York says:
::turns to Bill:: CIV: Remember that trap I talked about?
Host Frase says:
Action: One of the ship move in front of the shuttle and a tractor beam is locked on.
CIV_LtJG_Davis says:
::shakes head:: CSO: This isn't good.
CSO_LtJG_York says:
CIV: Not good at all.....people should listen to me sometimes.
