Host Rich says:
Prologue: The Apache's crew has been alone in the throne room for the last hour discussing Likkan's last offer. Will they take his offer or will he just have to make the offer to the next group that comes to try and kill him?

Host CO_Capt_Storal says:
::slowly stands up with a feeling that he was hit by a quantum torpedo:: All: What is our status?
CSO_Lt_York says:
::sits at the desk, longing for a drink and being back in his own quarters::
OPS_Lt_Davis says:
::still leaning against the door, surprised by the captain's remark::
XO_Cmdr_Rr`Vellan says:
::grumbles under her breath:: CO: Rrrock and a harrrd place.
Host CO_Capt_Storal says:
XO: That good huh? ::chuckles:: ow,
CSO_Lt_York says:
::looks up:: CO: Are you feeling better Captain? ::stands up::
OPS_Lt_Davis says:
CO: Likkan's given us an ultimatum, sir - we provide him passage from this station, or he kills us.
Host CO_Capt_Storal says:
CSO:I have had better days. But I will be okay in a moment.
OPS_Lt_Davis says:
::folds hands behind back and begins pacing again::
CSO_Lt_York says:
CO: Glad to hear it sir. ::hopes the XO leaves his earlier attempt out of her little debrief for the Captain::
CSO_Lt_York says:
::walks over to Bill::
CNS_LtJG_Niventra says:
::crosses her arms and legs:: ALL: I still say we should do it. 
Host CO_Capt_Storal says:
All: I see we don’t have much choice. But I think that works in our favor
CNS_LtJG_Niventra says:
ALL: At least quick enough to get him into a cell.
OPS_Lt_Davis says:
::pauses, and grins a little at Niventra's comment::  CNS, ALL: Now that's what I'm talking about.
XO_Cmdr_Rr`Vellan says:
CO: Yes I think we should prrrogrram the trransporrterr to stun him and his associates. Then we don't have to worry about any attacks.
CSO_Lt_York says:
All: But how do we do that? We don't have access to the controls?
Host CO_Capt_Storal says:
XO: Well unfortunately I don’t think it will be that easy.
Host CO_Capt_Storal says:
XO: We need him as much as he needs us right now.
Host CO_Capt_Storal says:
All: Although he is in the driver's seat.
OPS_Lt_Davis says:
::rubs chin with his left hand::  XO: One thing we also need to be concerned with is if he has some plan to contact an associate in case we betray him.  If he's unconscious, someone may notice.
Host Likkan says:
Action: The door to the room opens and Likkan walks in with his 3 other partners.
CNS_LtJG_Niventra says:
::looks at the Likkan as he walks in::
Host CO_Capt_Storal says:
::turns and faces Likkan::
OPS_Lt_Davis says:
::leans against the wall opposite the door and waits to see how Storal plays this one::
Host Likkan says:
::walks over to the group:: CO: Well captain it is good to see you awake again. Have you decided what you plan on doing?
CSO_Lt_York says:
::looks sternly at Likkan....still trying to wonder how he saw through his lie::
Host CO_Capt_Storal says:
Likkan: For now we have decided to help you.
Host Likkan says:
CO: Very good. We will take a short tour of the station before we arrive at  your ship.
OPS_Lt_Davis says:
::sighs, realizing their fate may be sealed from this point::
CSO_Lt_York says:
::sees Bill's reaction and..feels death knocking::
Host CO_Capt_Storal says:
Likkan: Since we are leaving. You know that this station is forfeit.
Host Likkan says:
CO: Once we are aboard you ship I will instruct the duty officer that we will be leaving to see the item you have for sale. Of course Captain that is what the short tour if for so that your people can place the explosives.
OPS_Lt_Davis says:
::eyes Likkan, and wonders what the captain means exactly::
CNS_LtJG_Niventra says:
::nods::
OPS_Lt_Davis says:
::is reminded!!::
Host CO_Capt_Storal says:
Likkan: Good, just wanted to make sure that we are on the same page.
Host CO_Capt_Storal says:
Likkan: Well then, ready when you are...
OPS_Lt_Davis says:
::pushes off the wall and approaches the table, standing behind Niventra; he folds his arms and awaits orders::
CSO_Lt_York says:
::watches the Captain...and wonders how he can keep his calm right now::
XO_Cmdr_Rr`Vellan says:
::really, really just wants to shoot Likkan now and get things over with::
Host Likkan says:
CO: There will be a box just outside the door when we leave that will have the necessary explosives in it. Your people will take what they need from the box as we leave and place them as we tour the station.
Host CO_Capt_Storal says:
::motions for OPS and CSO to take the explosives::
OPS_Lt_Davis says:
::nods and takes what he can, leaving the rest for York::
Host Likkan says:
CO: Just one thing Captain. If anyone decides to act like a hero. My 3 partners here will be following the group and have order to shoot to kill if necessary.
CSO_Lt_York says:
::nods and picks up the items as the pass the door::
Host CO_Capt_Storal says:
Likkan: I assure you. That time may come. But it wont be today =o)
CNS_LtJG_Niventra says:
::looks up at Davis:: 
Host Likkan says:
::leads the group out of the room:: CO: Good Captain I see we agree on this point.
Host CO_Capt_Storal says:
::follows Likkan out of the room::
OPS_Lt_Davis says:
::looks at the explosives, and then at Niventra::
CNS_LtJG_Niventra says:
::stands up:: 
CSO_Lt_York says:
OPS: Bill, I say we try to place these close to plasma conduits or power nodes. For a cascade effect.
Host Likkan says:
::turns and heads down the corridor point things out to the group as they move along::
OPS_Lt_Davis says:
::nods in agreement, figuring that is a sound suggestion::  CSO: If we can get an idea where their reactor or energy production plan is, we can target that too just to be sure.
CSO_Lt_York says:
OPS: The Commander downloaded the station plans..
Host CO_Capt_Storal says:
Likkan: So why are you in such a rush to leave?
XO_Cmdr_Rr`Vellan says:
::takes a deep breath and pretends to enjoy the tour::
OPS_Lt_Davis says:
::would snap fingers if he wasn't carrying enough explosives to blow half of the station up::  CSO:  That's right, I forgot about that.
XO_Cmdr_Rr`Vellan says:
::ear flicks and she passes her PADD to the CSO::
CSO_Lt_York says:
::smiles:: XO: Most appreciated sir.
Host Likkan says:
CO: As I have said before Captain your being here should be reason enough for me to get out while I can.
XO_Cmdr_Rr`Vellan says:
CSO: Not a prroblem, Mrr. Yorrk.
CSO_Lt_York says:
::flips open the Tricorder and activates the correct data::
Host CO_Capt_Storal says:
Likkan: That is a given Mr. Likkan. But what astounds me is that why would they want to outsource your execution. They are certainly able to do it themselves.
OPS_Lt_Davis says:
::tries to look at the tricorder screen, but can't get a good angle to see it::  CSO:  Any luck?
Host Likkan says:
CO: I have a feeling that by having Starfleet do it for them it covers them and makes them look good in their people’s eyes.
CSO_Lt_York says:
OPS: From this, the energy production seems to be located two decks below us...there are a few relays running around the station, we better target those.
Host CO_Capt_Storal says:
Likkan: Agreed. What did you do that made them feel that way?

OPS_Lt_Davis says:
CSO: Right.  ::finally gets an angle at the tricorder::   We've got to hit the reactor, too.  If they have some sort of surge protection, or if the explosives should fail in sections, we want to make sure we blow the reactor and blow a hole in the middle of this place.
OPS_Lt_Davis says:
CSO:  Let me see that for a second...::reaches out for tricorder::
CSO_Lt_York says:
::hands it over::
OPS_Lt_Davis says:
::takes the tricorder and looks at it carefully::
Host Likkan says:
CO: I believe that I know too much about the people in charge and I also believe that if they can have me taken out it is a way to end their little rebellion with out losing their precious jobs.
OPS_Lt_Davis says:
CSO:  Do you want to hit these relays on the starboard side of the station, and I'll start at the reactor and work on the port relays?  ::gestures to tricorder by nodding::
Host CO_Capt_Storal says:
Likkan: Did you give those weapons to that planet in the Tammeron system?
XO_Cmdr_Rr`Vellan says:
::blinks and looks over at Likkan::
OPS_Lt_Davis says:
::arm with explosives begins to feel tired; he needs to readjust in a minute or he'll drop them all::
CSO_Lt_York says:
OPS: I'm not sure we can split up from the group without being stopped by security Bill...we better try hitting all relays on our current path....an overload protection can't work against multiple explosions like that.
Host Likkan says:
CO: No although they were run through this station. I only passed them along to the people that I was told to give them to.
OPS_Lt_Davis says:
::shrugs::
OPS_Lt_Davis says:
CSO: I'd feel better with hitting the reactor, but I'm not going to be a stickler about it.
Host CO_Capt_Storal says:
::looks over to the CNS to see if he is telling the truth::
Host Likkan says:
Action: The Group heads down to the main warp core powering the station.
OPS_Lt_Davis says:
::gestures to bulkhead::  CSO: I've seen some designs recently where surge protection has actually been redirected to non-essential areas of ships and stations.
OPS_Lt_Davis says:
CSO: I just want to make sure that when we light this candle, we get the job done.
CSO_Lt_York says:
OPS: Save one charge...let's see if we can get to it, okay? For now let's start placing these...::looks to where they are going:: Actually....you might just get your wish, we are heading to the core.
CNS_LtJG_Niventra says:
::nods discreetly to the CO::
Host CO_Capt_Storal says:
Likkan: Very well. You confirmed what I was thinking. You have my word. You will be taken to safety.
OPS_Lt_Davis says:
::nods and exhales heavily::
XO_Cmdr_Rr`Vellan says:
CO: Typical government anything....blame someone else.
Host CO_Capt_Storal says:
XO: Someone has to take the fall.
CSO_Lt_York says:
OPS: This is going out like that sphere in that old space film, from the 20th century....
XO_Cmdr_Rr`Vellan says:
CO: Of courrse. ::gestures with a paw::
OPS_Lt_Davis says:
CSO: As long as we aren't on it when it does....  ::grins a little::
Host Likkan says:
Action: The group has completed their little tour and have placed all the explosives where they were needed to be. They are now coming up on the airlock where their ship is docked.
Host CO_Capt_Storal says:
XO: They are attempting to kill two birds with one stone. They throw the Federation off by giving us what we want, and they get rid of a thorn in there side.
Host Likkan says:
XO: You catch on real quick don't you?
XO_Cmdr_Rr`Vellan says:
::makes a face at Likkan:: Likkan: It's not like I'm on vacation.
Host Likkan says:
::chuckles::
OPS_Lt_Davis says:
Likkan, XO:  You'll excuse us if we feel like something still doesn't add up regardless of how quick any of us are..
Host Likkan says:
OPS: And that would be?
OPS_Lt_Davis says:
Likkan:  If I knew the answer, I wouldn't be here pondering it right now would I?
OPS_Lt_Davis says:
::rubs hands together - he feels a little cold::
Host Likkan says:
OPS: True, true
Host CO_Capt_Storal says:
OPS: Prep the runabout for take off.
Host Likkan says:
CO: Captain: If you will lead the way to your ship?
OPS_Lt_Davis says:
::Nods::  CO:  Aye, sir.
Host CO_Capt_Storal says:
::nods to Likkan:: All: All aboard!
Host Likkan says:
::hits the COM switch by the airlock and informs the Duty OPS what they are up to ::
OPS_Lt_Davis says:
::picks up his pace a little and heads to the runabout, sitting down at one of the fore consoles and hazily recalls the pre-flight checklist::
Host CO_Capt_Storal says:
CNS/XO: Suggestions?
Host Likkan says:
::follows the Captain into the runabout:: CO: Captain we have clearance to leave whenever you are ready.
OPS_Lt_Davis says:
::runs a quick diagnostic on flight systems - warp, impulse, navigation::
CSO_Lt_York says:
::walks into the runabout and heads for the Science station, while stopping by at the armory deposit on the wall and tries to retrieve a small phaser while everyone is busy::
Host CO_Capt_Storal says:
OPS: Take us out when you are ready.
XO_Cmdr_Rr`Vellan says:
CO: Just be carreful is all. I'd like to rraise my own kids.
OPS_Lt_Davis says:
::shuffles through the remaining diagnostics::
CNS_LtJG_Niventra says:
CO: Everything seems to be going as planned.
OPS_Lt_Davis says:
CO:  Roger that - shoving off on maneuvering thrusters ::activates thrusters::
XO_Cmdr_Rr`Vellan says:
::takes a seat and replicates herself some hot tea::
OPS_Lt_Davis says:
::console beeps, and he looks down to see their position relative to the station::
OPS_Lt_Davis says:
CO: We've cleared the station, Captain.
Host CO_Capt_Storal says:
Likkan: If we are going to stop them. We are going to need some evidence. What can you tell us.
Host CO_Capt_Storal says:
OPS: Acknowledged. Steady as she goes.
CSO_Lt_York says:
::takes his seat and hides the phaser under his console:: All: All seems normal on the station. No one is locking on us.
Host CO_Capt_Storal says:
OPS: Take us back to Federation Space,
Host Likkan says:
CSO: Once we are far enough away you can set off the explosives.
CSO_Lt_York says:
::looks over at Likkan:: Likkan: My pleasure Mr. Likkan.
OPS_Lt_Davis says:
::sets course for the nearest point of Federation territory, engaging at Warp 4 so as not to raise any suspicions::
Host Likkan says:
:: hands the captain a PADD: CO: Captain you will find all the information you need on this. :: motions for his people to hand over  their weapons to the crew::
OPS_Lt_Davis says:
::sends an encoded message to York's console - "keep an eye on them" - he's worried, since his back is to all these goons::
Host Likkan says:
CO; Captain, I only ask one more favor?
Host CO_Capt_Storal says:
::takes the PADD and hands it to the XO:: Likkan: What is that?
CSO_Lt_York says:
::makes it look like a scan as he sends back 'I'm keeping a phaser on them'::
XO_Cmdr_Rr`Vellan says:
::takes the PADD and reads through it::
OPS_Lt_Davis says:
::observes the message, cursing himself for not having the same quick thinking quality that would have enabled him to grab a phaser as well::
Host Likkan says:
CO: That you drop me and my partners off on this planet :: gives this the planet coordinates::
Host CO_Capt_Storal says:
OPS: Set a heading for this course. Likkan: What is there Mr. Likkan?
Host Likkan says:
CO: It is an uninhabited planet there where we have stashed a ship.
OPS_Lt_Davis says:
::receives the coordinates through the console and adjusts course, maintaining speed::
Host CO_Capt_Storal says:
Likkan: Very well.
Host Likkan says:
CO: Thank you Captain I owe you one.
Host CO_Capt_Storal says:
Likkan: That you do.
CSO_Lt_York says:
::types a small message in his upper corner of the scan and then looks up:: CO: Captain, could I ask you to look at this here?
Host CO_Capt_Storal says:
Likkan: Excuse me for a moment. ::walks over to the CSO:: CSO: What is it Mr. York?
CSO_Lt_York says:
::points to a scan which shows they are clear from the station's explosion radius, but it also says 'I have a phaser here'::
Host CO_Capt_Storal says:
::puts a hand on the CSO's shoulder:: CSO:I don’t think that will be necessary. But good work. Detonate with extreme prejudice. ::chuckles::
CSO_Lt_York says:
::nods:: CO: Aye sir...detonating now. ::pushes the remote::
Host Rich says:
Action: The station explodes with a blinding light .
Host CO_Capt_Storal says:
All: Once Mr. Likkan and his associates depart. I want a meeting with you all. We have a conspiracy to crush.
OPS_Lt_Davis says:
::scans for ships in the area, on an intercept course or otherwise::
CSO_Lt_York says:
::nods::
XO_Cmdr_Rr`Vellan says:
::nods:: CO: Of courrrse Captain.
Host Rich says:
Action: The runabout arrives at the planet specified.
Host CO_Capt_Storal says:
OPS: Standard orbit Mr. Davis.
OPS_Lt_Davis says:
CO: Aye, sir - standard orbit ::makes the appropriate adjustments to the navigation controls, although it takes him a little longer to do this than it should::
Host CO_Capt_Storal says:
Likkan: We have arrived at the location you specified.
Host Likkan says:
CO: Captain if you can beam us to these coordinates we will take our leave of you .
Host CO_Capt_Storal says:
CSO: Mr. York. Beam Likkan down to these coordinates.
OPS_Lt_Davis says:
::gets up and walks towards the back of the runabout, flicking Niventra's ear as he walks by::
CSO_Lt_York says:
CO: Gladly sir. ::programs the coordinates into the transporter controls::
OPS_Lt_Davis says:
::stops at the replicator and orders cold water, then heads back to his station::
CNS_LtJG_Niventra says:
::gives Davis a look that could kill::
Host Rich says:
Action: Likkan and his people are beamed to the planet and the runabout is now on its way to SB366
Host CO_Capt_Storal says:
All: Ok.. Your thoughts?
OPS_Lt_Davis says:
::sits down and leans back in the chair::
OPS_Lt_Davis says:
CO: Aside from Likkan being a scumbag...?
OPS_Lt_Davis says:
::takes a sip of the water::
XO_Cmdr_Rr`Vellan says:
::takes a deep breath and exhales:: CO: Glad he's gone sirrr.
CSO_Lt_York says:
::stands up and places the phaser back in the armory depository:: All: I think we're pawns....
OPS_Lt_Davis says:
::swivels around so he can face everyone else::
