Host Rich says:
Prologue: The Apache is still waiting for the Vulcan Ambassador to arrive. All of the other Ambassadors and their staff are on board and settling in.

OPS_Lt_Davis says:
::at Operations on the Bridge, carefully scrutinizing the ship's sensor records from the explosion of the Ferengi craft::
Host XO_Cmdr_Rr`Vellan says:
::sits in her chair, going over reports::
OPS_Lt_Davis says:
<Chief Matthews>  ::piles out of the turbo lift and on to the Bridge, immediately picking out Davis and heading towards him::
OPS_Lt_Davis says:
::sees Matthews and nods::
CNS_LtJG_Niventra says:
::arrives on the Bridge:: XO: Commander, all the delegates are resting comfortably, none wanting to be disturbed.
OPS_Lt_Davis says:
<Chief Matthews> OPS: What do you think, sir?
OPS_Lt_Davis says:
::sits back in seat and folds hands in lap, letting out a deep sigh::
OPS_Lt_Davis says:
Matthews: There's nothing in the sensor record that would indicate the ship's onboard systems that would indicate a malfunction that would destroy the ship so quickly.
CNS_LtJG_Niventra says:
::turns to OPS:: OPS: Still don't know what caused that explosion?
OPS_Lt_Davis says:
<Chief Matthews> ::nods in agreement:  OPS: That would be consistent with what we've found off the wreckage.  
Host XO_Cmdr_Rr`Vellan says:
CNS: Verrry good, Miss Niventrrra.
OPS_Lt_Davis says:
CNS, Matthews: There's a power surge on the dorsal part of the ship, away from the engineering areas.
OPS_Lt_Davis says:
CNS, Matthews:  There was, rather - it flared up, and a moment later there was nothing left of the ship..
Host Rich says:
Action: A young Ferengi wanders onto the Bridge.
OPS_Lt_Davis says:
<Chief Matthews> OPS, CNS: We've recovered wreckage from the ventral side of the ship that would probably have been obliterated by a warp core breach.  ::grunts::  It couldn't have been engine failure.
OPS_Lt_Davis says:
<Chief Matthews>  ::turns::  Dool:  What the hell are you doing up here?
Host Dool says:
Chief: I am sorry but I was looking for the lounge.
CNS_LtJG_Niventra says:
::immediately rounds on the Ferengi:: Dool: Sir, let me lead you too it.
Host XO_Cmdr_Rr`Vellan says:
::turns and looks at the Ferengi::
OPS_Lt_Davis says:
<Chief Matthews>  ::grunts again, ready to hammer the Ferengi whether it is young or not::
CNS_LtJG_Niventra says:
::gently nudges him to the turbo lift before he could see anything sensitive::
OPS_Lt_Davis says:
<TO_Fuzzy>  ::nods to Niventra and exits the lift, looking around for someone::
OPS_Lt_Davis says:
<TO_Fuzzy> ::sees Davis and Matthews and heads in their direction::
CNS_LtJG_Niventra says:
::wonders how he got access to the Bridge... he would have had to verbally speak the name::
Host Dool says:
CNS: Thank you however if it would be possible I would like to look around here some?
OPS_Lt_Davis says:
<Chief Matthews>  ::turns again, wishing these people would stop interrupting his conversation::  TO: Now what do you want!?
OPS_Lt_Davis says:
Matthews:  Chief, easy..
OPS_Lt_Davis says:
<TO_Fuzzy>  OPS, Matthews:  Can I have a moment of your time, sir?
Host Dool says:
::Moves past the CNS and starts looking over the different consoles::
CNS_LtJG_Niventra says:
Dool: Absolutely not. I'm sorry, but you are not authorized to view the Bridge. Captain’s orders. 
OPS_Lt_Davis says:
<Chief Matthews> ::turns and finds the Ferengi, grabbing him by the arm firmly and dragging him to the turbo lift:: 
Host Dool says:
CNS: I could make it profitable for you if you would let me take a small look.
CNS_LtJG_Niventra says:
Dool: We do not negotiate for profit!
OPS_Lt_Davis says:
<TO_Fuzzy> OPS: I saw something the other day that didn't seem out of the ordinary at all, but given some of the other things going on onboard the ship I'm beginning to think it is relevant..
CNS_LtJG_Niventra says:
::is thankful that Chief Matthews took care of dragging him to the turbo lift::
Host Dool says:
::starts screaming loudly as the Chief grabs him::
OPS_Lt_Davis says:
<Chief Matthews>  ::tosses the Ferengi into the lift::  Dool: This area is off-limits.  Do not come here again.
CNS_LtJG_Niventra says:
::quickly gets into the lift with the Ferengi and closes the door::
OPS_Lt_Davis says:
::eyes Chief Matthews, noting just how old school he is::
OPS_Lt_Davis says:
<Chief Matthews> ::heads back to Operations to see what Fuzzy is talking about with Davis::
CNS_LtJG_Niventra says:
Dool: I don't know how you got to the Bridge, but if you come there again you will be disciplined by your superiors. 
OPS_Lt_Davis says:
<TO_Fuzzy> OPS:  Sir..?
Host XO_Cmdr_Rr`Vellan says:
::rolls her eyes and grumbles under her breath::
CNS_LtJG_Niventra says:
::wishes that she could read his nasty little mind::
Host Dool says:
Chief: I will file a protest with the Federation over this handle of my body.
OPS_Lt_Davis says:
TO: Sorry, sorry.... ::looks back to Fuzzy::    TO:  You were saying?
CNS_LtJG_Niventra says:
Dool: You will do that.
CNS_LtJG_Niventra says:
::they get to the deck and she gently pushes him in the direction of the lounge::
OPS_Lt_Davis says:
<TO_Fuzzy>  OPS, Matthews:  When the Ferengi delegation beamed aboard, one of them had what he called a scanning device.  At the time, it seemed normal.
OPS_Lt_Davis says:
::shrugs and looks at Matthews, and the two share a look; they aren't sure where the crewman is going with this::
CNS_LtJG_Niventra says:
Dool: The lounge is on THIS deck. If you need anything, call one of us on the comm., but don't come up to us. 
Host XO_Cmdr_Rr`Vellan says:
::puts a paw to her face and rubs her forehead:: Self: Oh...I just love babysitting Ambassadorrrs.
OPS_Lt_Davis says:
<Chief Matthews>  TO:  And....?
CNS_LtJG_Niventra says:
::pushes him into the lounge::
Host Dool says:
CNS: Thank you, you have been helpful.
OPS_Lt_Davis says:
<TO_Fuzzy> ::nervous - he's intimidated by Matthews given that he's the most senior enlisted crewman onboard right now::
CNS_LtJG_Niventra says:
Dool: Please remember that certain areas or off-limits to the ambassadors and their parties. Good day.
CNS_LtJG_Niventra says:
::quickly leaves the lounge::
Host Dool says:
:::walks away from the CNS ignoring her last comment::
CNS_LtJG_Niventra says:
*XO*: Commander, I highly suggest we require crew clearance codes for sensitive areas of the ship.
OPS_Lt_Davis says:
<TO_Fuzzy>  OPS, Matthews:  Well....::swallows hard::....I heard about the ship they were on blowing up later in the lounge, and I went back and cross-referenced some of the time records.
Host XO_Cmdr_Rr`Vellan says:
*CNS*: Yes, especially now that we'rrre....babysitting.
CNS_LtJG_Niventra says:
*XO*: Not just that... ::walks to the lift:: That Ferengi was up to something. No normal member of an ambassadorial party would just wander up to the Bridge. They know that its off-limits.
Host XO_Cmdr_Rr`Vellan says:
*CNS*: Yes but they arrre also accustomed to rrrecieving special prrriviliges.
OPS_Lt_Davis says:
<TO_Fuzzy>  OPS, Matthews:  The Ferengi had his scanning device out during the period where their ship exploded.  I was thinking that maybe it triggered thee xplosion...
Host Rich says:
Action: A fight breaks out in the lounge between a couple of the Klingon and Cardassian delegates.
CNS_LtJG_Niventra says:
*XO*: Please have Lt. Davis set the codes ASAP--Oh no. There's a fight in the lounge.
CNS_LtJG_Niventra says:
::runs down to the Lounge:: 
CNS_LtJG_Niventra says:
*Sec*: Security to the Crew Lounge!
CNS_LtJG_Niventra says:
::runs in and tries to take control of the situation:: ALL: WHAT IS GOING ON HERE?!
OPS_Lt_Davis says:
<Chief Matthews>  ::considers what Fuzzy has suggested::
OPS_Lt_Davis says:
::also has wheels turning, but doubts the scenario::
Host Rich says:
Action: A chair comes flying at the CNS as she enter the lounge and shouts.
OPS_Lt_Davis says:
TO, Matthews:  That kind of device would be picked up by the transporter though, wouldn't it?
CNS_LtJG_Niventra says:
::grabs the chair and chunks it back at them, so mad she could fight too::
CNS_LtJG_Niventra says:
::wonders where security is::
OPS_Lt_Davis says:
<Chief Matthews>  ::rubs chin in thought::    OPS, TO: Not necessarily - it could be something as simple as a radio signal which activated something else, which triggered the explosion.
Host XO_Cmdr_Rr`Vellan says:
OPS: Therrre's a fight going on the lounge. ::stands up::
OPS_Lt_Davis says:
::looks at Rr`Vellan and kind of ignores what she says, then looks at her again::  XO: A fight?
CNS_LtJG_Niventra says:
ALL: SECURITY IS ON ITS WAY! IF YOU DO NOT STOP IMMEDIATELY I WILL BE FORCED TO INCAPACITATE YOU!!!
Host Rich says:
Action: As security enters the lounge and starts to break up the fight one of them gets hit rather hard and falls into a lump.
OPS_Lt_Davis says:
XO: Has security been notified?
CNS_LtJG_Niventra says:
::starts directing people out of the lounge::
OPS_Lt_Davis says:
<SO_Jennings> *Bridge* Jennings to Bridge - we need additional help here to sort this out.  There's a melee going on.
Host XO_Cmdr_Rr`Vellan says:
OPS: Yes.
Host Rich says:
Action: Something hits the CNS in the back of the head knocking her unconscious.
CNS_LtJG_Niventra says:
*XO*: Commander, Security has come. Be advised to monitor all decks, especially to off-limit areas. This could---
OPS_Lt_Davis says:
::stands and points to the turbo lift, and Matthews heads that way::
OPS_Lt_Davis says:
TO: We'll talk about this more in a minute.
CNS_LtJG_Niventra says:
::falls into a heap::
Host XO_Cmdr_Rr`Vellan says:
*CNS*: Counselorrr? Miss Niventrra?
OPS_Lt_Davis says:
XO: I'm on my way, ma'am.  ::runs for the lift::  Turbo lift:  Deck 7!
OPS_Lt_Davis says:
<Chief Matthews>  OPS: Should we get phasers?
Host Rich says:
Action: Security finally get the fight settled.
Host XO_Cmdr_Rr`Vellan says:
OPS: Check on the Counselorr too....she's not rresponding
OPS_Lt_Davis says:
::shrugs::  Matthews: No time...let's get in there and see what we can do.
OPS_Lt_Davis says:
::bolts out of the lift, with Matthews not far behind::
Host SEC_Nug says:
*XO*: Cmdr we have the Fight halted however 4 of the combatants are from the Ambassadors staffs.
OPS_Lt_Davis says:
::enters the lounge and sees relative calm, but notices that Niventra is down to his left; he heads over and kneels down beside her::
OPS_Lt_Davis says:
::shakes Niventra gently::  CNS: Counselor?  Counselor, are you alright?
OPS_Lt_Davis says:
<Chief Matthews> ::begins speaking with security personnel, trying to piece together what happened::
CNS_LtJG_Niventra says:
::wakes up wincing:: 
OPS_Lt_Davis says:
*Sick Bay* Davis to Sick Bay, report to 7-Forward immediately.
Host XO_Cmdr_Rr`Vellan says:
*SEC_Nug*: I'm not surrrprrised...give them a frrree trrip to the Brrrig forrr now.
OPS_Lt_Davis says:
<MO_Chu'oklaknoan> *OPS*: On our way.  Sick Bay out.
OPS_Lt_Davis says:
CNS: Stay down for a second, you're alright...a medic will be here momentarily.
Host SEC_Nug says:
*XO* : Roger that ma'am :: has the delegates beamed to the Brig::
CNS_LtJG_Niventra says:
OPS: I... I'm fine... just...
OPS_Lt_Davis says:
::looks around, wondering why it is taking the medical staff so long to get here::
CNS_LtJG_Niventra says:
OPS: I think I'm bleeding... ::smiles::
OPS_Lt_Davis says:
::gives her a concerned look, and looks for blood - which he sees coming from the back of her head; he uses his sleeve to put pressure on it::
Host Rich says:
<Duty OPS> XO: Ma'am the Vulcan Ambassador has just signaled that they are ready to come aboard.
OPS_Lt_Davis says:
<MO_Rogers>  ::stumbles into 7-Forward with three other medics, and heads right for Niventra::
OPS_Lt_Davis says:
<MO_Rogers> OPS: Step back, sir - we've got it.  ::already scanning her with a tricorder::
Host XO_Cmdr_Rr`Vellan says:
Duty-OPS: Alrright, let them aboarrrd.
OPS_Lt_Davis says:
::let's go of Niventra and stands up again, trying to wipe some of the blood off his hand::
OPS_Lt_Davis says:
::gestures to Matthews for him to come over to where he is standing::
CNS_LtJG_Niventra says:
::remembers:: OPS: Bill! 
OPS_Lt_Davis says:
<Chief Matthews> ::wraps up his conversation and jogs over to Davis::
OPS_Lt_Davis says:
::turns::

OPS_Lt_Davis says:
CNS: What is it?
Host Amb_Solet says:
<Duty OPS> XO: Roger Ma'am :: contacts the Transporter room 2 to transport them aboard:: They will be in TR 2.
OPS_Lt_Davis says:
::kneels down again, and Matthews kneels down beside him even::
CNS_LtJG_Niventra says:
OPS: Tighten security. This fight might have been a decoy. I can't meet the Vulcans now, but please keep tabs on all of the parties.
OPS_Lt_Davis says:
::nods::  CNS:  Relax, we'll take care of everything..  ::looks at Rogers::
Host  Rich says:
Action: The Vulcan Ambassador and 7 of his staff materialize in TR2.
OPS_Lt_Davis says:
<MO_Rogers>  OPS, Matthews: Mild concussion.  We need to get her back to Sick Bay.
CNS_LtJG_Niventra says:
::grabs his sleeve:: OPS: Don't put it off! Please...
Host XO_Cmdr_Rr`Vellan says:
Duty OPS: You have the Brrridge. I'll be in Trrransporrrterrr rrroom two.
Host XO_Cmdr_Rr`Vellan says:
::stands up and heads for the lift::
OPS_Lt_Davis says:
::grabs her hand and takes it, pulling it off his sleeve::  CNS: I won't - they need treat you, and I need to get going.  I'll find you later.  ::nods to Rogers::
OPS_Lt_Davis says:
Matthews:  Let's go.
Host Amb_Solet says:
<Duty OPS>: Roger Ma'am
OPS_Lt_Davis says:
<Chief Matthews>  OPS: Aye, sir.  
OPS_Lt_Davis says:
::runs out of the lounge and heads back to the turbo lift::
OPS_Lt_Davis says:
::runs straight into the turbo lift, making people get out of his way; Matthews jumps in almost right behind him::
Host Amb_Solet says:
TC; I was under the understanding that we would be met here upon our arrival. Is there a problem that we need to know about?
OPS_Lt_Davis says:
Computer: Locate Commander Rr`Vellan.
Host XO_Cmdr_Rr`Vellan says:
::enters TR2 and nods to the Vulcan Ambassadors::
OPS_Lt_Davis says:
<Computer>  OPS: Commander Rr`Vellan is in Transporter Room 2.
Host Amb_Solet says:
<Computer> OPS: Cmdr Rr`Vellan is in TR2
OPS_Lt_Davis says:
::pushes Matthews off the lift::  Matthews:  Go to the Bridge and make sure things are fine there
Host Amb_Solet says:
XO: Cmdr is there some kind of problem?
OPS_Lt_Davis says:
Turbo lift:  Transporter Room 2!
Host XO_Cmdr_Rr`Vellan says:
Solet: No Ambassadorrr...we've taken carre of it.

OPS_Lt_Davis says:
<Chief Matthews> ::jumps in the next lift, determined to get to the Bridge and ensure that things are normal there::
OPS_Lt_Davis says:
::hops out of the lift, again narrowly missing three or four crewmen, and makes his way to Transporter Room 2::
Host Amb_Solet says:
XO: Good I was concerned when you did not meet us upon our arrival.
OPS_Lt_Davis says:
::arrives in the Transporter Room and heads right to the console, assigning additional security units to all delegates - including the Vulcan delegation::
OPS_Lt_Davis says:
<Chief Matthews>  ::arrives on the Bridge and takes station at the Engineering console, but he's really paying attention to everyone else - with Niventra’s words ringing in his head, he looks at the lift doors as if he's expecting trouble to come out of them::
Host XO_Cmdr_Rr`Vellan says:
::puts paws together:: Solet: Just a minorr issue, I assurrre you. Would you like to be escorrted to yourr quarrterrs?
Host Amb_Solet says:
XO: Cmdr there is one request I would like to make and that would be that I could talk to the Captain at his earliest possible convenience.
OPS_Lt_Davis says:
<SEC_Sanchez> ::arrives in Transporter Room 2 with three other security officers::
Host XO_Cmdr_Rr`Vellan says:
Solet: I will speak to his yeoman and make you an appointment.
OPS_Lt_Davis says:
::nods to Sanchez, and gestures towards the Vulcan Ambassador; Sanchez nods in understanding and waits for the delegates to depart::
Host Amb_Solet says:
XO: Thank you. If you will lead the way it has been a long day.
Host XO_Cmdr_Rr`Vellan says:
Solet: Now if you'rre rready. ::gestures with a paw::
OPS_Lt_Davis says:
::taps comm. badge::  *Matthews*:  Report, Chief.
Host Amb_Solet says:
::follows the Commander out of the TR::
OPS_Lt_Davis says:
<Chief Matthews>  *OPS*: All clear here, sir.  I've called for additional security on the Bridge as well.
OPS_Lt_Davis says:
*Matthews*:  Keep me posted.
OPS_Lt_Davis says:
::follows the XO and the Vulcans, trailing the group::
Host XO_Cmdr_Rr`Vellan says:
::keeps an ear trained on the Vulcan delegation, just  in case::
