CTO_Lt_Wolf says:
<delete my last>

XO_LtCmdr_Grey-feather says:
COM: Capt Peewd : Repairs underway are never what they should be.

:: pays attention to the screen in front of her as the flight data scrolls across it ::

CTO_Lt_Wolf says:
::listens into the comm.::

  Capt_Peewd says:
@COM: XO: Understood I am sending you the coordinates for you ship to dock at on the other side of the asteroid. :: sends the coordinates::

FCO_Cmdr_Lane says:
XO: Coordinates received sir.

XO_LtCmdr_Grey-feather says:
COM: Capt. Peewd : Excellent, I am sure my engineer will be happy to make repairs without the power being turned on while he is doing it.
 
XO_LtCmdr_Grey-feather says:
FCO: Good.  Set new course please commander.

FCO_Cmdr_Lane says:
XO: Aye sir, setting new heading.

CTO_Lt_Wolf says:
::monitors the ships around them::

FCO_Cmdr_Lane says:
:: taps the console controls and sets the course ::

 Capt_Peewd says:
@COM: XO: Roger and we have one of the best repair stations in the galaxy here. Once you are docked why don't you and your senior staff join me for  an evening meal.

XO_LtCmdr_Grey-feather says:
COM: Capt Peewd: Sounds good.  Expect 4 for dinner sir.

CTO_Lt_Wolf says:
Self: Guess who’s coming to dinner'

XO_LtCmdr_Grey-feather says:
FCO: This whole mission has been testing me, my patients included...but thank you commander. :: smiles at her for the first time ::

XO_LtCmdr_Grey-feather says:
:: making sure the comm. is closed :: CIV: Mrlr download every scrap of data we have that implicates us as active Starfleet into the storage drive on the emergency buoy.  First thing they are going to do is download our core

Action: Krom's ship changes course and heads away from the station.

XO_LtCmdr_Grey-feather says:
CTO: Look at this way my Klingon friend if it goes badly you will be well fed on your journey over the river of blood

CIV_Cmdr_Mrlr says:
XO: We had better keep all non-essential personnel in general quarters also.  I'll have the senior chiefs brief the crew on duty as to what they should say if spoken to and how they should act.

FCO_Cmdr_Lane says:
XO: Sir, we have Krom's ship heading away from the asteroid now.

CTO_Lt_Wolf says:
::chuckles::

XO_LtCmdr_Grey-feather says:
CIV: Good thinking.

CTO_Lt_Wolf says:
XO: It will make for a glorious song
 
XO_LtCmdr_Grey-feather says:
CTO: Aye it would...ta'mey Dun, bommey Dun

FCO_Cmdr_Lane says:
All: Slowing to docking speed. :: taps the console again ::

CIV_Cmdr_Mrlr says:
::claws start tapping over the console as she starts to either download or wall away from access.  Her ears go flat against her skull at the thought of the Klingons singing::
 
Action: The Apache lines up and heads into a repair dock just at the edge of the asteroid.

XO_LtCmdr_Grey-feather says:
FCO: He must have been acting as intercept.  Trouble is if he is leaving then the station feels powerful enough to deal with the Apache on their own...that’s not going to be pleasant

CTO_Lt_Wolf says:
::readies for the docking sequence::

FCO_Cmdr_Lane says:
:: nods at Grey-Feather :: XO: I'm sure they have something planned for us sir.

XO_LtCmdr_Grey-feather says:
FCO: Commander Lane feel free to hit the ring a little hard, shake them a bit and let them think we are still wounded
 
CIV_Cmdr_Mrlr says:
XO: Do you want me to attend the dinner or go find my own? ::perks an ear over at the XO::

CTO_Lt_Wolf says:
XO: I suggest that I meet our guests at the air lock

FCO_Cmdr_Lane says:
:: moves the Apache into position and bumps the docking ring hard :: XO: Just what I was thinking sir. :: smiles ::

XO_LtCmdr_Grey-feather says:
CIV: Come with us, it will get you into the station more easily

XO_LtCmdr_Grey-feather says:
CTO: Very good lieutenant, once the ship is secure we will greet our hosts

CIV_Cmdr_Mrlr says:
::grins:: XO: Good....I was not relishing Cardassian for the main course. ::shudders::

FCO_Cmdr_Lane says:
XO: Apache secured. All systems responded.

CTO_Lt_Wolf says:
::nods and checks his Mek’Leth::
 
Action: As the Apache enters the repair station one of the docking arms come at them a little fast hitting the Apache opening a small hole in the hull.

CTO_Lt_Wolf says:
XO: Damn fools, we have a hull breach

XO_LtCmdr_Grey-feather says:
CTO: Bring up force fields for that area.

XO_LtCmdr_Grey-feather says:
CIV: Damage report for that deck

FCO_Cmdr_Lane says:
XO: Loose arm gave us a hit sir. We are still secure though.

CTO_Lt_Wolf says:
::obeys the XO’s command swiftly::

CTO_Lt_Wolf says:
XO: Force fields in place

CIV_Cmdr_Mrlr says:
::checks:: XO: It's just minor damage to the hull....a fairly small hole.

XO_LtCmdr_Grey-feather says:
CIV: Get the damage control team on it

XO_LtCmdr_Grey-feather says:
CTO: I will skin that docking officer myself
 
Action: All umbilicals are hooked to the Apache and they are instructed to power down the ship and go to station power.

CIV_Cmdr_Mrlr says:
::claws clicking n the console:: XO: As you wish.

CTO_Lt_Wolf says:
XO: Commander i have dispatched Security teams to discretely keep an eye on our guests

FCO_Cmdr_Lane says:
:: checks the readings :: XO: Switching to station power now sir. They have us.

CIV_Cmdr_Mrlr says:
::looks over at the CTO:: CTO: So...didn't get a chance to talk to you before.  No hard feelings about that little...ah...mishap earlier?

XO_LtCmdr_Grey-feather says:
CTO: Very well, put them in uniforms for OPS and damage control in case they are spotted

CTO_Lt_Wolf says:
CIV: That’s ok commander, accidents do happen. My Imzadi is a Catian

CTO_Lt_Wolf says:
XO: Already done sir

XO_LtCmdr_Grey-feather says:
All: Status are we secured and the data transferred

CTO_Lt_Wolf says:
XO: Also my two best men will be sweeping the ship for tracking and listening devices

CIV_Cmdr_Mrlr says:
::wonders what their kittens would look like and decides that it is better unknown:: CTO: Now that is interesting.  We'll have to have a chat....if we live.

CTO_Lt_Wolf says:
CIV: Yes we will

CTO_Lt_Wolf says:
::smiles gently at the thought of Chitwa::

CIV_Cmdr_Mrlr says:
::checks everything once more and nods:: XO: We're as ready as we can be.

FCO_Cmdr_Lane says:
:: locks off the helm controls :: XO: Helm locked sir.

CTO_Lt_Wolf says:
XO: Security teams deployed sir

XO_LtCmdr_Grey-feather says:
All: Then lets meet the neighbors :: walks over and offers an arm to Mrlr...the whole officer and gentlemen bit ::

CTO_Lt_Wolf says:
XO: I’ve also locked out the security and tactical logs. Your previous CTO was extremely paranoid in the least ::snorts::
 
FCO_Cmdr_Lane says:
:: stands and turns, then walks towards the lift ::

XO_LtCmdr_Grey-feather says:
CTO: And a mutineer don’t forget

CIV_Cmdr_Mrlr says:
::shakes her head at how much Joshua seems to enjoy this role playing:: XO: All right, ::takes his arm:: ....but no pirate slang.  One 'me matey' and I neuter you right on the spot.

XO_LtCmdr_Grey-feather says:
:: shudders at the thought ::

CTO_Lt_Wolf says:
::looks at the XO and narrows his eyes:: XO: You should have killed her

FCO_Cmdr_Lane says:
:: shakes her head as she hears the conversation ::

XO_LtCmdr_Grey-feather says:
CTO: The burn marks from the heavy stun and solitary confinement seem to be more fun

CTO_Lt_Wolf says:
::notices Lane and smiles:: XO: Some habits die hard

FCO_Cmdr_Lane says:
:: thinks these Klingons are a blood thirsty lot ::

CIV_Cmdr_Mrlr says:
CTO: Maybe later you could introduce her to the first lesson in honor? ::grins::

CTO_Lt_Wolf says:
::chuckles:: CIV: Maybe commander, maybe

XO_LtCmdr_Grey-feather says:
:: heads for the turbolift with Mrlr in tow ::

CTO_Lt_Wolf says:
::secures his station and heads for the TL::

FCO_Cmdr_Lane says:
:: moves to the back corner of the lift ::

CTO_Lt_Wolf says:
XO: I will be glad when these dogs are a foot note in history

XO_LtCmdr_Grey-feather says:
CTO: I would settle for enough time with them not shooting me to unpack my belonging in my quarters.  These guys have been shooting at me since I got here

CTO_Lt_Wolf says:
XO: They are a nervous bunch aren’t they

CIV_Cmdr_Mrlr says:
::turns to the FCO and asks quietly:: FCO; Are you all right?  I can tell this isn't a normal mission for you.

XO_LtCmdr_Grey-feather says:
CTO: That means they are undisciplined as well, makes us far more likely to get shot at

CTO_Lt_Wolf says:
XO: Very

CTO_Lt_Wolf says:
XO: And likely they will focus there attention on me
 
Action: A security team meets the Apache's senior staff at the airlock.

FCO_Cmdr_Lane says:
:: nods :: CIV: I am fine Commander, and I am quite used to these kinds of missions.

CTO_Lt_Wolf says:
::looks over the head of the security team::

CIV_Cmdr_Mrlr says:
::chuckles:: FCO: Okay....okay. ::grins:: You know...you will find that I'm not such a big, bad kitty. ::gives her a wink and turns to the teams::

XO_LtCmdr_Grey-feather says:
:: sees the security team :: Sec team: Apache crew for dinner, party of four...first available if you please :: smirks ::

Team Leader says:
XO: Sir we are to transport you over to the asteroid to meet up with Captain Peewd.

CTO_Lt_Wolf says:
::protectively places himself near Mrlr out of habit::

FCO_Cmdr_Lane says:
:: moves in behind the rest of the group ::

XO_LtCmdr_Grey-feather says:
Team Leader: Understood, just tell me the transporter chief is not the same idiot working the docking arm

Team Leader says:
XO: No sir we are taking care of that right now.

CTO_Lt_Wolf says:
::grunts::

CIV_Cmdr_Mrlr says:
::reaches up and pats the big Klingon on the shoulder as he moves closer:: CTO: Want me to protect you? ::grins::

CTO_Lt_Wolf says:
::raises and eyebrow and bellows with laughter::

CTO_Lt_Wolf says:
::whispers:: CIV: I think one should not underestimate you commander

CIV_Cmdr_Mrlr says:
::chuckles and gives the big Klingon a wink::

Team Leader says:
XO: Sir if you will have your people move up to the transporter pad.

XO_LtCmdr_Grey-feather says:
Team Leader: Better you than me, its so hard to get blood out of this uniform material:: motions :: After you we are ready when you are.

CTO_Lt_Wolf says:
::adjusts his sash and takes his place on the pad::

FCO_Cmdr_Lane says:
:: just waits there on the transporter pad not saying a word ::

Team Leader says:
:: moves to the Pad::

XO_LtCmdr_Grey-feather says:
:: steps up on the pad and whispers to Mrlr:: CIV: See not even one 'Aye Matey' :: grins ::

CIV_Cmdr_Mrlr says:
::steps up on the pad::

CIV_Cmdr_Mrlr says:
::flicks an ear towards the XO as if to say...at least for now::
 
Action: The senior staff of the Apache is transported to a room just off the main banquet hall.
 
FCO_Cmdr_Lane says:
:: tries to avoid Mrlr's tail as she arrives wherever they were sent ::

XO_LtCmdr_Grey-feather says:
:: looks around the room as they materialize :: FCO: Always afraid I am going to show up without my pants

Capt_Peewd says:
:: sees the Apaches crew arrive:: XO: Cmdr it is good to meet you in person.

CTO_Lt_Wolf says:
::pulls jacket down Picard style and looks around the room::

FCO_Cmdr_Lane says:
:: raises an eyebrow :: XO: No one would dare notice sir.

XO_LtCmdr_Grey-feather says:
:: walks forward and offers his hand to shake :: CO Peewd: Good to meet you too sir

CIV_Cmdr_Mrlr says:
::looks around the room::

Capt_Peewd says:
:: shake the hand offered:: XO: I hear you had a little mishap when entering the repair dock?

XO_LtCmdr_Grey-feather says:
CO Peewd: Yes apparently the docking officer never heard of forward momentum while he was asleep in class

FCO_Cmdr_Lane says:
:: gives Peewd a look that could freeze fire ::

CTO_Lt_Wolf says:
::stands rigidly in the background::

Capt_Peewd says:
XO: Would you like to be the one to correct him for his mistake? :: nods to one of the aids::
 
Action: A very nervous young officer is brought into the room.

CTO_Lt_Wolf says:
::looks over the young man::

XO_LtCmdr_Grey-feather says:
CO Peewd: I would never take such matters away from you in your station, besides as I said getting blood out of these uniforms is difficult.  But I would be honored to observe how your people solve such problems

CIV_Cmdr_Mrlr says:
::casually starts to wander around the room as if sight seeing, letting her tail sway back and forth behind her in an almost hypnotic motion::

Capt_Peewd says:
XO: Very good Cmdr it you will just wait a second. :: pulls his phaser out and kills the young officer::

CTO_Lt_Wolf says:
::watches closely::

FCO_Cmdr_Lane says:
:: looks at the young man ::

CTO_Lt_Wolf says:
::makes a mental note of the object lesson. Face not showing a hint of surprise::

FCO_Cmdr_Lane says:
:: gasps inwardly as the young man falls ::

CIV_Cmdr_Mrlr says:
::flicks and ear towards the area where the body lies an grins:: Out loud: Well he won't make that mistake twice.

XO_LtCmdr_Grey-feather says:
:: holds a jovial face even though his stomach is turning:: CO Peewd: Well done.  Might I suggest a lower setting next time, it was a rather quick and painless lesson.
 
Capt_Peewd says:
XO: Now Cmdr let me make one thing perfectly clear. If I find out that you are pulling some kind hoax here or that you are as inept as that young man there was you will receive the same kind of punishment. Do I make myself clear?

CTO_Lt_Wolf says:
::walks over towards the body and looks down at it::

XO_LtCmdr_Grey-feather says:
:: thinks to himself how much he will enjoy torturing this Peewd...personally when this is over ::

CTO_Lt_Wolf says:
::kicks the body and looks over at Peewd::

CIV_Cmdr_Mrlr says:
::strolls up next to Wolf, looks at the body and then at Peewd.  Leans towards the CTO and speaks quietly:: CTO: Doesn't waste time...does he?

XO_LtCmdr_Grey-feather says:
CP Peewd: Crystal clear sir.  I will offer this too you.  Punishment doled out by my command is no less lethal and far more painful.

FCO_Cmdr_Lane says:
:: moves towards Peewd :: CO Pweed: I assure you that Commander Grey-Feather will astound you. :: turns and winks at the XO ::

CTO_Lt_Wolf says:
::looks at Mrlr and nods his eyes saying more than his face::

Capt_Peewd says:
XO: Good then we understand each other. Lets eat. :: heads for the banquet room::
