Host Rich says:
Prologue: The Crew of the Apache is currently in what seem to be a throne room and Mr. Likkan has just made the crew a offer to turn some people higher up than him for his life and three of his people. Will the crew take him up on his offer or will they all die?

CSO_Lt_York says:
::looks around, then steps forward:: Likkan: Alright sport, I'll play your game.
CNS_LtJG_Niventra says:
CSO: York! Let's think about this!
CSO_Lt_York says:
::raises his hand at the Counselor::
CIV_Lt_Davis says:
::still pacing, waiting to see how this plays out; he's pretty close to snapping::
CNS_LtJG_Niventra says:
::is not at all sure she wants to trust Likkan::
Host Likkan says:
CSO: And you speak for all your people?
CSO_Lt_York says:
::looks around to see if anyone objects::
CSO_Lt_York says:
Likkan: I do.
CNS_LtJG_Niventra says:
CSO: No you don't!
CIV_Lt_Davis says:
::folds hands behind back::
CSO_Lt_York says:
::turns around and winks at the Counselor out of sight, letting her know he's playing him:: CNS: Be silent!
Host Likkan says:
CNS: Then you wish the fate of your captain?
CNS_LtJG_Niventra says:
::calms down as she realizes what he's doing::
CSO_Lt_York says:
Likkan: He is not a part of this...we thought we could fool you Mr. Likkan, I am aware that my informants did not tell me the whole truth about you...the Captain here is a mere puppet.
CSO_Lt_York says:
::walks closer::
CIV_Lt_Davis says:
::wonders why Rr`Vellan hasn't stepped up over York, but his anger is too high for him to really dwell on the situation::
Host XO_Cmdr_Rr`Vellan says:
::listening carefully::
Host Likkan says:
CSO: Then if you all will take a seat at the table over there:: point to a table near the far wall:: we can get started.
CSO_Lt_York says:
::bows slightly and grins at Likkan:: Likkan: Finally...this whole act was getting tiresome.
CNS_LtJG_Niventra says:
::keeps her mouth shut::
Host Likkan says:
:: motions for 2 of his friends to move the captain to a couch near the table::
CSO_Lt_York says:
::wonders if the Captain is alright...and tries to think of a way to fool Likkan::
CIV_Lt_Davis says:
::stays with the captain, seeming him as a liability now if they should have to make a hasty exit from this little get-together::
Host Likkan says:
::moves over to the table as the rest of them set down::
CSO_Lt_York says:
::sits down opposite to Likkan::
CIV_Lt_Davis says:
::eyes Likkan's henchmen distrustfully::
Host XO_Cmdr_Rr`Vellan says:
::sits down at the table, still watching Likkan and York carefully::
CNS_LtJG_Niventra says:
::is more than just a little bit uncomfortable at the weapons trained on her back::
CSO_Lt_York says:
::looks over at the Counselor and thinks as clearly as he can...'trust me'::
Host Likkan says:
All: Your friend over there will be fine he is just stunned and should be up an about in a little while.
CIV_Lt_Davis says:
::paces back behind where the crew is sitting now::  Likkan: I'm sure that display was really necessary, too..
CSO_Lt_York says:
Likkan: I sure hope so...because what I have to offer....relies on his full recovery. ::leans on the table giving his best poker face::
Host Likkan says:
CSO: As I stated all I want is transportation for my 3 friend and myself out of here to a safe place. And for that I will give you the names of the real heads of this so-called rebellion.
CSO_Lt_York says:
::folds his hands:: Likkan: Well Mr. Likkan, since we are all seated here and...having a business meeting, would you mind your men lowering your weapons?
CNS_LtJG_Niventra says:
Likkan: And leaving the room?
CIV_Lt_Davis says:
::still pacing - he doesn't think this is going anywhere::
CNS_LtJG_Niventra says:
CIV: Bill... ::softly:: Come sit down... you're making me anxious...
Host Likkan says:
CSO: The 3 people that are in here will stay as they are the ones that will be going with us. As far as the weapons I have already deactivated them.
CSO_Lt_York says:
Likkan: Good...for us to work together, we have to trust each other....other than the Ferengi filth that lead us here...
CIV_Lt_Davis says:
::either doesn't hear the counselor, or selectively ignores her; he continues pacing::
Host Likkan says:
CSO: Also as a show of good will here are the plans for the Station that you are currently on :: brings up the plans of the station on the table viewscreen::
CNS_LtJG_Niventra says:
::grabs the CIV's hand as he paces behind her:: CIV: Please. ::gives it a squeeze for emphasis::
CSO_Lt_York says:
Likkan: How do you know we won't use these plans against you, Mr. Likkan?
Host Likkan says:
CSO: Because I plan on keeping you friend over there as insurance:: Points to the Captain::
Host XO_Cmdr_Rr`Vellan says:
::taps on a small PADD to DL the station  map::

CSO_Lt_York says:
::grins while nodding::
CIV_Lt_Davis says:
::shakes off her hand, not even really aware who it is::
CNS_LtJG_Niventra says:
::sighs::
CSO_Lt_York says:
Likkan: Seems my informants were right about you....well at least that you were a man one needed to be careful while dealing with.
Host Likkan says:
CSO: Now I believe part of your orders were to destroy this station? Am I right?
CIV_Lt_Davis says:
::stops behind York, slightly to his left actually::
CSO_Lt_York says:
Likkan: Well....as a last resort yes.
CSO_Lt_York says:
::feels more confidant having Bill beside him::
Host Likkan says:
CSO: Then I would seriously consider that possibility if I were you?
CSO_Lt_York says:
Likkan: Mr. Likkan...would I be here, having this conversation with you if I listened to my superiors? ::smiles::
CNS_LtJG_Niventra says:
::rolls her eyes, if she remembers correctly, he was apprehensive about coming too::
CSO_Lt_York says:
::realizes the humor behind that sentence::
CIV_Lt_Davis says:
::pulls a chair from alongside the dank wall behind him and brings it to where he is, and he finally sits; he's not at the table, but he isn't isolated along the wall either::
CNS_LtJG_Niventra says:
CSO: Alright, what do have to do?
CSO_Lt_York says:
::looks over at the Counselor, puzzled::
CNS_LtJG_Niventra says:
CSO/Likkan: You two are just bantering back and forth with your feathers puffed up. Get to point.
CIV_Lt_Davis says:
Likkan/CSO: I'm glad someone finally said it.
Host Likkan says:
CSO: You should plant timed  or remote Explosives in these areas :: indicate a few points:: as they all lead off of the main power source.
CSO_Lt_York says:
::laughs:: Likkan: She is right as always...meet my financial advisor. Mrs. Niventra.
Host Likkan says:
CNS: My dear lady the point is to get me off this station alive.
CSO_Lt_York says:
::leans on the table:: Likkan: Which brings us to the main price.
CIV_Lt_Davis says:
CSO: ::whispering so only he can hear::  The problem is that we don't know if we are just doing his dirty work by doing this..
Host Likkan says:
CSO: And that is?
CSO_Lt_York says:
::nods slightly to Bill:: Likkan: I want to know both names....and locations of your bosses.

CNS_LtJG_Niventra says:
Likkan: In fact, download them to Ms. Rr'Vellan's PADD. 
CNS_LtJG_Niventra says:
::nods at the XO::
Host Likkan says:
CSO: One of the people is the one that sent you here in the first place. As for the rest I will give them to you when we are clear of this space.
Host XO_Cmdr_Rr`Vellan says:
::twitches an ear and sets her PADD on the table::
CNS_LtJG_Niventra says:
Likkan: A Ferengi?
CSO_Lt_York says:
Likkan: I'm not...comfortable with that arrangement Mr. Likkan...for I was sent here by more than one person...and what I have to offer is worth more than your home planet’s weight in latinum.
CIV_Lt_Davis says:
CSO: ::whispering::  Ask them about transportation too - where do we have to take them?
CSO_Lt_York says:
::nods::
CIV_Lt_Davis says:
::starting to settle to the point he was at just before Likkan and his goons whacked the captain::
Host Likkan says:
CSO: just who in the Metron Consortium was it that actually asked you to come here or at least asked Starfleet to send you here.
CNS_LtJG_Niventra says:
CSO: Purple-haired girl.
CNS_LtJG_Niventra says:
CSO: What's her name... Lyra, or something...
CSO_Lt_York says:
::looks over at the counselor and shakes his head:: Likkan: Mr. Likkan...for that information I would need you to name one partner...and let's just say that his affiliations were neither with Starfleet nor the Metron consortium.
CSO_Lt_York says:
::grins::
CIV_Lt_Davis says:
::flashes Niventra a look, seeing as though York has spoken over her; he's not sure if York even knows where he's going with any of this::
CIV_Lt_Davis says:
::checks back to Likkan::
CNS_LtJG_Niventra says:
Likkan: Why does it matter who it was?
Host Likkan says:
CSO: The people that I plan on naming are high up in the consortium and have made up this rebellion to line their pockets with latinum.
CSO_Lt_York says:
::stands up placing his palms on the table:: Likkan: To be clear....I have no interest in transporting you away....my employer wants to take over this region of space and all of your trade routs.....what I have to offer is information gathered from Starfleet Command. ::looks sternly at him::
Host Likkan says:
CSO: Also there is one other thing to consider if you decide to kill me anyway there is no way you will ever get off this station alive.

CSO_Lt_York says:
Likkan: Oh...my dear man, I have no intention of killing you....if I did you would be dead already
CNS_LtJG_Niventra says:
::resists the urge to raise an eyebrow; she hopes that York is a really good actor::
CIV_Lt_Davis says:
Likkan: We're here to do business, not settle a vendetta.  We have information - valuable information, and we want to make a deal here now.
CSO_Lt_York says:
::sees that his crewmates are taking part in the illusion and grins::
CIV_Lt_Davis says:
::folds hands and places them on his lap as he leans back in the rather uncomfortable chair::
Host Likkan says:
CSO: And I already know that you are with Starfleet and was sent here to kill me so there is no reason to pretend otherwise.
Host XO_Cmdr_Rr`Vellan says:
::still listening and taking notes::
CIV_Lt_Davis says:
Likkan, CSO: What we were sent here to do, and what we can do now that all parties are on the same page, are not the same thing - whether we were sent by Starfleet, the Easter Bunny, or whoever.
CSO_Lt_York says:
::stands up and walks over to the Captain:: Likkan: The man you have stunned. is indeed a part of Starfleet...no need to pretend otherwise, so was I at one point. Until I had a little fistfight with one of my superiors....what I have to offer is rich...and you better listen.
CNS_LtJG_Niventra says:
::now she does raise an eyebrow at the Easter Bunny reference::
CIV_Lt_Davis says:
Likkan, CSO: The important part is what happens in the next 48 hours, not what happened days or weeks ago...
Host Likkan says:
XO: Cmdr just how much longer are you going to allow this farce to continue?
CSO_Lt_York says:
::folds his hands and looks over at the Commander::
CSO_Lt_York says:
::walks over to Likkan's end of the table and leans forward:: Likkan: Don't be mistaken Mr. Likkan...we are not here to kill you, we are offering you a partnership. ::hits his fist on the table:: If you want transportation that is your point, what I want is much grander.
Host XO_Cmdr_Rr`Vellan says:
::blinks:: Likkan: What?
CIV_Lt_Davis says:
::shrugs::  CSO: He'd rather sit here and play conspiracy theory rather than do business, apparently.
CSO_Lt_York says:
::looks over at Bill:: CIV: Apparently.
CIV_Lt_Davis says:
::shakes head and grins::  ALL: Consortium...pfft....if we were talking to a Ferengi we would have made at least three deals by now rather than listen to this nonsense.
CNS_LtJG_Niventra says:
CSO/CIV: Stop insulting him. Like I said earlier: get to the point. 
Host Likkan says:
XO : Cmdr here is my offer you take me and my people here :: indicates the 3 people in the room with him:: off this station and to a safe planet and I will hand over the names of the real people in charge of this little rebellion. You can either take it or I will have all of you shot. I will give you some time to think about it.
CIV_Lt_Davis says:
::crosses arms, still leaning back; the room is starting to feel a little warmer, and sweat is just starting to form on his forehead::
CIV_Lt_Davis says:
::gestures to the XO::
CIV_Lt_Davis says:
Likkan: Give us time alone then, if you will.
Host Likkan says:
:: gets up and leaves the room with the 3 people leaving the Apache crew alone.::
CIV_Lt_Davis says:
:;looks at the door, then back to Likkan::
CSO_Lt_York says:
::shakes his head and walks away from Likkan, heading back to his seat while shaking his head::
Host Likkan says:
XO: You have one hour to decided.
Host XO_Cmdr_Rr`Vellan says:
::blinks and looks around at the crew::
CSO_Lt_York says:
::kneels down at the Captain's side and checks his pulse::
CIV_Lt_Davis says:
::makes sure the door closes behind Likkan, then begins looking for any sort of listening devices even though the effort is probably futile given how small the technology would be::
CNS_LtJG_Niventra says:
ALL: He'll kill us if we don't comply. I've read that from him so far.
CSO_Lt_York says:
All: That arrogant little...::stops himself:: From what I've gathered he has informants in Starfleet.
CNS_LtJG_Niventra says:
ALL: He IS telling the truth, however; he wants off this station.
CIV_Lt_Davis says:
CNS: Which probably means someone is gunning for him - one of the people he's willing to name, no doubt.
CNS_LtJG_Niventra says:
CSO: York, I'm not sure this is what the Captain had planned, but you seemed to recover alright.
CIV_Lt_Davis says:
::shrugs, knowing this is not the easiest of situations to deal with::
CNS_LtJG_Niventra says:
ALL: I'm surprised he actually trusts us to get him to "safety".
Host XO_Cmdr_Rr`Vellan says:
All: he might spring on us at the last minute...we'd be all trapped in the shuttle...maybe some kamikaze thing?
CIV_Lt_Davis says:
CNS: Wouldn't you trust strangers if everyone around you couldn't be trusted?  There's no one else for him to turn to.
CSO_Lt_York says:
::turns to the Counselor:: CNS: I might be arrogant, but he did not believe me....this is larger than we thought, he is afraid.
CNS_LtJG_Niventra says:
CSO: Good.
CNS_LtJG_Niventra says:
CSO: Maybe I should scare him and tell him I'm reading his thoughts?
CIV_Lt_Davis says:
XO: We can prevent that from happening though...

CSO_Lt_York says:
XO: Commander, I am sorry for taking off like that but I was fishing.
CIV_Lt_Davis says:
::puts hands on hips and leans his back against the door::
CNS_LtJG_Niventra says:
ALL: We should get him back to the ship as fast as we can. Get rid of this accursed station and turn him over to Starfleet.
Host XO_Cmdr_Rr`Vellan says:
CSO: It's all rrright Lt. Yorrk.
CSO_Lt_York says:
::nods::
CNS_LtJG_Niventra says:
::folds her hands under her chin, leaning on the table::
CIV_Lt_Davis says:
XO, CSO: Let's figure it out.  As soon as we transport or get back to the shuttle, we stun them or otherwise neutralize them and then figure out what to do with them::
CIV_Lt_Davis says:
<delete :: from CIV last>>
CSO_Lt_York says:
All: I'm not ready to give up yet, we need more information here. He seems unwilling to talk, and he won't be overrun that easily.
CNS_LtJG_Niventra says:
CSO: Look, York. We don't have much time. Any slip and we're dead. 
CSO_Lt_York says:
CNS: We signed up to die by taking on this missions for all I care.
CNS_LtJG_Niventra says:
CSO: The faster we get him and his friends in our hands, the better chance we have.
CIV_Lt_Davis says:
CSO: We know what he wants - the counselor has confirmed that.  We need to get him back to the shuttle and take care of him.
Host XO_Cmdr_Rr`Vellan says:
::thinks about Rick having to raise the kids by himself and shudders::
CIV_Lt_Davis says:
CSO: I'm inclined to go with Niventra on this one.
CIV_Lt_Davis says:
::turns to Rr'Vellan::  XO: What are your orders?
CSO_Lt_York says:
::nods:: All: We can finish this...let's get them to the shuttle, unarmed.
CNS_LtJG_Niventra says:
::nods pointedly::
Host XO_Cmdr_Rr`Vellan says:
All: Let's try to convince him that we're on his side..
