OPS_Lt_Davis says:
::on the Bridge at his station, going over the dossier for Ambassador Broil in search of a motive::
Host XO_Cmdr_Rr`Vellan says:
::rubbing her forehead with a paw and grumbling under her breath::
CNS_LtJG_Niventra says:
::down in the Brig, trying to make sense of the situation::
OPS_Lt_Davis says:
::pushes back from the console and rubs his eyes - he's been staring at this for some time, and nothing is really jumping out at him yet::
OPS_Lt_Davis says:
::rubs his eyes and then puts his head in his hands for a second, then looks back at the console again::
Host XO_Cmdr_Rr`Vellan says:
OPS: Any thoughts, Mrrr. Davis?
OPS_Lt_Davis says:
XO: None that would be appropriate for the Bridge..
CNS_LtJG_Niventra says:
::remembers that she can't read ferengi and groans inwardly:: Ferengi: When we get to Carryoon IV we'll have Federation authorities deal with you all. 
OPS_Lt_Davis says:
::gestures to console::  XO:  I've looked all over Ambassador Broil's background here and there's no apparent reason for him to be involved with this.
CNS_LtJG_Niventra says:
Ferengi: They will discuss your fates and then turn you back over to us where we will make SURE your punishments are carried out. Every one of you is an accomplice to the crime.
Host Rich says:
Action: The Apache is being hailed by Starfleet.
OPS_Lt_Davis says:
<TO_Newman>  ::hears console beep and he looks at it quickly::  XO: Incoming hail, Commander.
OPS_Lt_Davis says:
::sighs, then looks at the names of the delegates who have accompanied Broil::
CNS_LtJG_Niventra says:
::sits down in a chair opposite the prisoners and crosses her legs::
Host XO_Cmdr_Rr`Vellan says:
TO: Let's hearrr it.
OPS_Lt_Davis says:
<TO_Newman>  ::patches the message through to the main viewer::
OPS_Lt_Davis says:
::begins looking at the files individually, trying to find any discrepancy no matter how small::
CNS_LtJG_Niventra says:
*XO*: Niventra to Rr'Vellan.
Host Rich says:
<Adm_Doul> COM; XO: Cmdr I have just been notified that you have placed the entire Ferengi delegation in the brig.
OPS_Lt_Davis says:
::looks at the viewer, then listens to Niventra's message::  *CNS*: She's speaking to Starfleet - stand by.
Host XO_Cmdr_Rr`Vellan says:
*CNS*: One moment please Miss Niventrra.
OPS_Lt_Davis says:
::goes back to the file::
Host XO_Cmdr_Rr`Vellan says:
COM: Adm: Yes Admirral.
Host Adm_Doul says:
COM: XO; Why?
OPS_Lt_Davis says:
::notes that Broil's primary delegate has ties to the Barok-Mor, an obscure Ferengi terrorist organization that hasn't really done anything overt in years::
Host XO_Cmdr_Rr`Vellan says:
COM: Adm: Well sirr, we've had a serries of murrderrs onboarrd and we found the culprrit, and we'rre in the prrocess of questioning the entirre deligation.
Host Adm_Doul says:
COM: XO; So your telling me that you are charging the whole Ferengi delegation with murder?
CNS_LtJG_Niventra says:
::waits patiently::
OPS_Lt_Davis says:
::goes through the file of the second and sees that there were rumors of his support of Maquis efforts during the Dominion War, but again nothing concrete that he could be charged with::
Host XO_Cmdr_Rr`Vellan says:
COM: Adm: No Admirral, we'rre just questioning them at this time.
Host Adm_Doul says:
COM: And you cannot question them in their quarters why?
Host XO_Cmdr_Rr`Vellan says:
COM: Adm: If one of them has planned these murrderrs we want them isolated to question them.
OPS_Lt_Davis says:
::transmits a text message to Rr'Vellan's console, pointing out the circumstantial evidence he's come across::
Host Adm_Doul says:
COM: And what proof do you have that one of them is involved?
Host XO_Cmdr_Rr`Vellan says:
::looks down and reads the message...then raises an eyebrow::
Host XO_Cmdr_Rr`Vellan says:
COM: Adm: Well, Admirral it's come to my attention that one of Admirral's Brroil's top aides has ties to the Barrok-Morr.
CNS_LtJG_Niventra says:
::is fed up with the silence around her and leaves the Brig::
OPS_Lt_Davis says:
::stands and approaches the center of the Bridge::   COM: Adm. Doul:  And another one was linked with the Maquis as well.  We're not sure of the nature of their involvement with these organizations, but their character is questionable to say the least..
Host Adm_Doul says:
COM: XO: And for this you have the whole delegation placed in the brig possibly causing an international incident.
CNS_LtJG_Niventra says:
Turbolift: Bridge.
OPS_Lt_Davis says:
::folds hands behind back, wondering what it's going to take for Starfleet to get the stick out of their rear on this one::
Host XO_Cmdr_Rr`Vellan says:
COM: Adm: We'd like to keep everryone safe, sirr. We've alrready had 2 deaths. I don't want any morre.
CNS_LtJG_Niventra says:
::stars to pick up the conversation from the Bridge and sighs::
Host Adm_Doul says:
COM: XO: And what if you wrong and none of the Ferengi are involved?
CNS_LtJG_Niventra says:
::enters the Bridge:: 
OPS_Lt_Davis says:
::turns at the swish of the doors and sees Niventra; he turns back to face the brass on the screen::
CNS_LtJG_Niventra says:
COM: Adm: Oh, they're involved admiral. We have DNA proof leading right to the ferengi in question. And as for the delegation, they are directly involved in at least hindering our finding out about the assassin.
Host XO_Cmdr_Rr`Vellan says:
COM: Adm: Then we will offerr ourr most humble apologies...We just don't want to see anyone else hurrt.
Host Adm_Doul says:
COM: CNS: And have you questioned this Ferengi?
Host Adm_Doul says:
COM: XO: If you are wrong I am afraid that you most humble appologies won't be enough.
OPS_Lt_Davis says:
::bites tongue - he doesn't want to do anything rash, but what other choice were they all left with given the circumstances?::
CNS_LtJG_Niventra says:
COM: ADM: Sir, the ferengi assassin is actually an Orion masquerading as a ferengi. I saw him change his form. Currently his holoprojector is making him an Orion.
CNS_LtJG_Niventra says:
COM: ADM: That is our proof.
OPS_Lt_Davis says:
::leans back a little, then forward::
Host Adm_Doul says:
COM: CNS; You mean that you have him in your brig and haven't taken away the holoprojector from him
Host XO_Cmdr_Rr`Vellan says:
::sighs under her breath::
OPS_Lt_Davis says:
COM: Admiral Doul:  The device isn't functioning any longer.
Host Adm_Doul says:
COM: OPS; And have you identified this Orion?
OPS_Lt_Davis says:
COM: Admiral Doul:  Yes, sir.  His name is Jek'Mal - the computer should have limited information on him.
OPS_Lt_Davis says:
COM: Admiral Doul:  He's been involved in several assassinations, or thought to be involved; many of them are politically motivated, though not all.
Host Adm_Doul says:
::gets a shocked expression on his face:: COM: OPS; You are 100% positive on this?
OPS_Lt_Davis says:
COM: Admiral Doul:  The computer positively identified his DNA, and the person in custody is indeed Orion.  No picture was available, but we have to assume with the DNA match that it is in fact him.
Host Adm_Doul says:
COM: XO: Well Cmdr you have one thing now in you favor. However you need to release the Ferengi delegation from the brig now. You can confine them to quarters if you like but get them out of the brig now. Do I make myself clear?
Host XO_Cmdr_Rr`Vellan says:
COM: Adm: Yes sirr...underrstood sirr.
CNS_LtJG_Niventra says:
COM: ADM: They won't stay in their quarters, sir. We've already been confining them. They have broken orders.
OPS_Lt_Davis says:
::Shrugs::  COM: Admiral Doul:  I haven't cross-referenced it yet, but I'm willing to bet that Jek'Mal has had dealings with the Barok-Mor and the Maquis...there's too much pointing towards them.
Host Adm_Doul says:
COM: CNS; Then have security make sure they stay in their quarters.
OPS_Lt_Davis says:
COM: Admiral Doul:  With all due respect, sir, the blood isn't on your hands if more people are injured or killed.  We did what we felt was necessary, and so far peace has prevailed.  If we had to step on a liberty or two to keep the crew and the delegates safe, well....too bad...
Host Adm_Doul says:
COM: OPS: That may be possible however you may find that there are many races that have dealing with both groups.
CNS_LtJG_Niventra says:
::waves her hand dismissively:: COM: ADM: Whatever you say. ::sits down in her chair and picks up a PADD::
Host Adm_Doul says:
COM: OPS; You have the killer is that right
OPS_Lt_Davis says:
COM: Admiral Doul:  Yes, but you're about to bail his employers out of jail.  How long will it take for them to find someone else to do their dirty work?
Host Adm_Doul says:
COM: OPS: From what I have seen you don't have any hard evidence to prove that and in Starfleet one is innocent till proven guilty.
OPS_Lt_Davis says:
::shakes head, feeling the frustration begin to boil::  COM: Admiral Doul:  That's definitely the mentality of someone who is at a desk far away, and not someone who has to worry about their life day in, day out.  But if that's how you want it...
OPS_Lt_Davis says:
::taps comm badge::  *Brig*: Davis to Brig - release the Ferengi delegation from the Brig, but confine them to their quarters for the duration of their stay.
Host Adm_Doul says:
COM: XO: Cmdr. you have your orders and I hope that I do not have to hear about anything like this again. Doul out. :: closes the COM::
OPS_Lt_Davis says:
ALL:  Ridiculous.
Host XO_Cmdr_Rr`Vellan says:
::takes a breath:: Self: Hooo boy
OPS_Lt_Davis says:
::wanders back to station, ignoring the acknowledgement of his message from the Brig::
Host XO_Cmdr_Rr`Vellan says:
::sits back down in her chair::
OPS_Lt_Davis says:
::slumps down in station and decides he should start carrying a phaser rifle around just in case the Ferengi want to give him a reason::
