CNS_Ens_Wharton says:
:: Wanders around the brig cell ::

FCO_Cmdr_Lane says:
:: paces in the cell wondering what's happening outside ::

Host CO_Captain_Grey-feather says:
:: stands outside the security area waiting for the CTO ::

CTO_LtJg_Salor says:
:: walks into the security area carrying a phaser for the captain::  CO: Here sir,  what has the Ms. 
Lane and Ms. Wharton done.

XO_LtCmndr_Wolf says:
:: sits in his chair waiting:: 

FCO_Cmdr_Lane says:
:: looks at the counsellor :: CNS: Got your story straight?

XO_LtCmndr_Wolf says:
Self: ahh the joys of command

Host CO_Captain_Grey-feather says:
CTO: Likely its what has ensign Wharton done that has dragged commander Lane in

CNS_Ens_Wharton says:
:: Nods :: FCO: Unless it's changed since the cargo bay. :: sighs :: They better get my ring back...that really did mean a lot to me.

CTO_LtJg_Salor says:
CO: Understandable sir. Shall we take a few security personal along, or we going alone.

Host CO_Captain_Grey-feather says:
CTO: Just us, I don’t want to turn this into a battle unless we have to :: enters the security office and approaches the guard::

FCO_Cmdr_Lane says:
:: whispers :: CNS: I'll back you up so don't worry.

CTO_LtJg_Salor says:
:: follows the CO into the office::

Host LT_Radar says:
:: Watches as the Captain and CTO approach ::

CNS_Ens_Wharton says:
:: Smiles her thanks to the FCO::

XO_LtCmndr_Wolf says:
AFCO: Be ready to blow this Popsicle stand as per the skipper’s orders if things go pear shaped

XO_LtCmndr_Wolf says:
AFCO Flight Says XO: Understood sir

Host CO_Captain_Grey-feather says:
:: walks up to the lieutenant:: Radar: I understand you have two of my officers in your brig

Host LT_Radar says:
CO: Captain Grey-Feather I presume?

FCO_Cmdr_Lane says:
:: pokes the counsellor :: CNS: I hear the Captain outside.

Host CO_Captain_Grey-feather says:
Radar: That is correct

CNS_Ens_Wharton says:
:: Grimaces:: FCO: That's him. I'd know that irritated tone anywhere.

CIV_Cmdr_Mrlr says:
:: returning from speaking to other venders to the ship:: *CO*: Joshua, I need to speak to you immediately.  It's important.

FCO_Cmdr_Lane says:
CNS: Just smile a lot. :: grins ::

Host CO_Captain_Grey-feather says:
*CIV*: I am in the security office can you meet me there

CNS_Ens_Wharton says:
:: Smiles brightly:: FCO: Better?

FCO_Cmdr_Lane says:
CNS: Much better.

Host LT_Radar says:
CO: Captain I am sorry about this but you need to inform your people that all they need to do is ask and anyone on this station will be glad to help. Dorker just got a little carried away when he seen you people sneaking around.

Host LT_Radar says:
CO: You can have them back now.

CIV_Cmdr_Mrlr says:
*CO*: I don't think that is the best place for us to speak.

XO_LtCmndr_Wolf says:
:: slowly sips at his coffee::

Host CO_Captain_Grey-feather says:
Radar: Well after the warm welcome Gorgon gave us, you can understand why they may have avoided reporting in.  Please release them

Host CO_Captain_Grey-feather says:
*CIV*: Where then I should be done here in a moment

Host LT_Radar says:
CO: That I can however Gorgon has nothing to do with the station operation he just supplies part some of the time

CIV_Cmdr_Mrlr says:
*CO*: Bridge. ::ends the comm. and heads back to the ship::

XO_LtCmndr_Wolf says:
:: puts the image of the station on the main viewer::

Host CO_Captain_Grey-feather says:
Radar: Understood I will make my crew aware.  If you could release Commander Lane and Ensign Wharton to Lieutenant Salor here I would be appreciative.  AS you can here I am needed on my ship

Host CO_Captain_Grey-feather says:
*CIV*: On my way.

FCO_Cmdr_Lane says:
:: continues pacing the cell :: CNS: Think they forgot about us?

CTO_LtJg_Salor says:
::stepps up to take the release of the FCO and CNS::  Radar: If you would please.

Host LT_Radar says:
CO: That is no problem sir they can go now  CTO: If you will follow me sir.

CNS_Ens_Wharton says:
FCO: Nah. What if it's a battle of epic proportions out there? :: giggles:: all over us two.

Host CO_Captain_Grey-feather says:
CTO: I am returning to the Apache.  Meet be back there when you are finished

XO_LtCmndr_Wolf says:
:: looks at the PADD. The inventory of the cargo bays on the station and notices they are low on 
Non-essentials:: Self: Interesting

CTO_LtJg_Salor says:
:: follows Radar::

CTO_LtJg_Salor says:
CO: Yes sir and I still have my report from the shipping office.

Host CO_Captain_Grey-feather says:
Radar: Thank you lieutenant:: heads for the Apache ::

FCO_Cmdr_Lane says:
:: laughs :: CNS: Some imagination you have.

CNS_Ens_Wharton says:
FCO: Comes with the territory.

FCO_Cmdr_Lane says:
CNS: By the way, I love your hair. Is it difficult to keep that way?

Host LT_Radar says:
:: moves to the cell where the FCO and CNS are at:: FCO, CNS: Ladies you ride it here. :: Grins::

CNS_Ens_Wharton says:
FCO: Not really. I just use a really old form of hair spray. :: Smiles and turns to the door:: Radar: Well thank you sir. I do appreciate this...

CTO_LtJg_Salor says:
FCO/CNS:  Ms. Lane, Ms. Wharton. I presume you both have been taken care off properly?

FCO_Cmdr_Lane says:
:: looks at Radar ::

Host CO_Captain_Grey-feather says:
:: steps out of the turbo lift on to the bridge and looks around for Mrlr ::

XO_LtCmndr_Wolf says:
:: looks at the CO:: CO: welcome back

CIV_Cmdr_Mrlr says:
:: sees the CO and waves him over to follow her to his ready room::

XO_LtCmndr_Wolf says:
:: hands the CO the PADD containing the inventory of the cargo bays::

FCO_Cmdr_Lane says:
:: smiles at Salor :: CTO: Well it's not the presidential suite, but we're fine I guess.

Host LT_Radar says:
CNS: Ensign I believe you dropped this when you were found out. :: holds up her ring::

Host CO_Captain_Grey-feather says:
XO: Thanks, you still have the bridge  :: heads for the ready room ::

XO_LtCmndr_Wolf says:
:: nods::

CTO_LtJg_Salor says:
FCO: That is  :;pauses::  good to hear.  I believe is the right phrase.

FCO_Cmdr_Lane says:
CTO: Are we free to go now Salor?

CNS_Ens_Wharton says:
::Gasps:: Radar: You found my ring! Thank you so much for it. This ring means a lot to me....::Rushes up and takes it and replaces it on her finger::

CIV_Cmdr_Mrlr says:
  ::turns to the CO as soon as he enters, her tail twitching agitated back and forth.  Speaks as soon as    the doors shut:: CO: We have a situation here.  I found a few interesting things that can cause us a lot of problems.

Host LT_Radar says:
CNS: I would be more careful with it in the future then miss.

CNS_Ens_Wharton says:
:: Nods:: Radar:: Can do, sir. Thank you again.

CTO_LtJg_Salor says:
FCO: Yes,  if you and Ms. Wharton would accompany me back to the ship.

Host CO_Captain_Grey-feather says:
:: gets a serious look on his face :: CIV: What kind of situation Mrlr

Host LT_Radar says:
CTO: if there is nothing else I have some other work to do.

XO_LtCmndr_Wolf says:
:: remains in his seat::

FCO_Cmdr_Lane says:
:: steps out of the cell :: CTO: We'd love to. :: winks back at Aeries ::

CIV_Cmdr_Mrlr says:
CO: There's a leak on the station...an informant...and there's a good chance it is someone in Starfleet.

CNS_Ens_Wharton says:
FCO: All's well that end's well I suppose. :: Winks back::

CTO_LtJg_Salor says:
Radar: Thank you for the assistance. We will be returning back to our vessel at once.

CIV_Cmdr_Mrlr says:
CO: And that's not all...they are working with Gorgon.

Host LT_Radar says:
CTO: Very good sir and remember if you need any thing just ask anyone on the station will be more than glad to help.

CTO_LtJg_Salor says:
Radar: I will keep that in my thoughts.

Host CO_Captain_Grey-feather says:
CIV: Ah hell that means we can trust no one on the station.  We just got cut off from our help at this end

Host LT_Radar says:
:: returns to his office and resume his paper work::

FCO_Cmdr_Lane says:
:: leans over to Salor :: CTO: Some help, I think they're all Gorgon's puppets here.

CTO_LtJg_Salor says:
FCO/CNS: Let us be on our way.  ::turns add heads back to the apache::

XO_LtCmndr_Wolf says:
:: picks his coffee cup as he looks at the stations image on the viewer::

CTO_LtJg_Salor says:
FCO: The facts that have been found seem to suggest that. Mrlr was upset about something, i would very much like to know what that is.

FCO_Cmdr_Lane says:
:: walks along with Aeries :: CNS: I'm glad you have your ring back.

FCO_Cmdr_Lane says:
CTO: Oh Salor, you're just a worry wart.

CNS_Ens_Wharton says:
:: Follows the CTO:: FCO: You know, those boxes....the insignias on them. We really didn't get a chance to really discuss those. :: Smiles:: I'm glad I have it back too. Only thing I have from my parents. I don't even remember them at all.

CIV_Cmdr_Mrlr says:
::nods:: CO: From what I learned, several venders have tried to order from Starfleet, but each time they do...the pirates know exactly what ships, where they are coming from and when they will arrive.  Not only that...but Gorgon's merchandise is miracously untouched.

CTO_LtJg_Salor says:
Self: Wart, a skin defect of the human skin.   FCO: I do not see the relation.    Anyways.   :; approaches the airlock to the ship::

FCO_Cmdr_Lane says:
:: remembers the boxes :: CTO: Oh right. Salor, there are a lot crates in the cargo bay with insignia on them. At first they looked like Starfleet, but as we looked them over, they were different.

CTO_LtJg_Salor says:
*CO* We are coming aboard now sir, and Ms. Lane has a report to make, as do I.

XO_LtCmndr_Wolf says:
Self: this doesn’t smell right

Host CO_Captain_Grey-feather says:
CIV: You do this covert stuff more than me, remember your mate is more of the goon squad type.  But they would be identifying the ships by transponder correct?

Host CO_Captain_Grey-feather says:
*CTO*: Very well, give me 10 minutes I am in the middle of something and then I want those reports

CTO_LtJg_Salor says:
FCO: Interesting.  I have found out that Gorgon controls /4 of all shipments coming in and 3 times as many going out, and all pakled vessels.

XO_LtCmndr_Wolf says:
::looks at the sensor feed on his console::

CTO_LtJg_Salor says:
::walks up to a TL and steps in and waits for the CNS and FCO to settle in::

FCO_Cmdr_Lane says:
CTO: Sounds like a lot of questions for the station Commander.

CTO_LtJg_Salor says:
FCO: Indeed.

CTO_LtJg_Salor says:
TL: Bridge

CIV_Cmdr_Mrlr says:
CO: Most likely someone is selling the manifest.  The only Starfleet equipment that is getting through is encrypted in a way to be identified later.

CTO_LtJg_Salor says:
CSN: Interesting ploy, you losing your ring to cover up.

CIV_Cmdr_Mrlr says:
CO: I should clarify...Gorgon's ships are getting hit also...but somehow he still has the supplies everyone needs.

FCO_Cmdr_Lane says:
:: holds her tongue ::

CNS_Ens_Wharton says:
CTO: Umm...:: Grimaces:: Thanks...

CTO_LtJg_Salor says:
::the TL stops and he waits for the both woman to step off first::

FCO_Cmdr_Lane says:
:: steps out :: CTO: So now what?

CNS_Ens_Wharton says:
:: Follows the FCO::

XO_LtCmndr_Wolf says:
:: stares intently at the screen lost in thought::

CTO_LtJg_Salor says:
:: stepping after them both::  FCO: We await for the captain now.

CTO_LtJg_Salor says:
XO: All crew is back and accounted for sir

XO_LtCmndr_Wolf says:
CTO: excellent. Anything to report?

FCO_Cmdr_Lane says:
:: walks over to Wolf and stands there ::

XO_LtCmndr_Wolf says:
::looks up at Hope and smiles::

CTO_LtJg_Salor says:
XO: As soon as the captain is ready, I and Ms. Lane both have reports to make

XO_LtCmndr_Wolf says:
CNS: Have a nice adventure Ensign?

FCO_Cmdr_Lane says:
:: sees that Ensign Flight is already at the helm so just loiters ::

CNS_Ens_Wharton says:
XO: Not so much an adventure, sir.

CTO_LtJg_Salor says:
::goes to TAC 1 and checks on the tactical systems::

XO_LtCmndr_Wolf says:
::smiles:: CNS: Learn anything?

FCO_Cmdr_Lane says:
:: nudges Aeris ::

CNS_Ens_Wharton says:
::Smiles:: XO: I can cry on demand, sir.

XO_LtCmndr_Wolf says:
:: chuckles:: CNS: Did the tears work to your advantage though?

CNS_Ens_Wharton says:
:: Giggles lightly:: XO: I'm standing here, yes?

XO_LtCmndr_Wolf says:
:: smiles at the young ensign:: CNS: I think that has more to do with the Skipper than the tears. Good job anyhow

FCO_Cmdr_Lane says:
XO: She was brilliant Commander. A true actress.

XO_LtCmndr_Wolf says:
CNS: She can sign up for the ships Shakespearean company then

CNS_Ens_Wharton says:
:: Nudges the FCO:: XO: Thank you, sir.

Host CO_Captain_Grey-feather says:
CIV: Do we know how many people have access to the manifests?

XO_LtCmndr_Wolf says:
::smiles at the exchange::

CIV_Cmdr_Mrlr says:
::grins evilly:: CO: No...but I can find out.

FCO_Cmdr_Lane says:
XO: So Commander, shall we wait for the Captain here or come back later?

XO_LtCmndr_Wolf says:
:: stands and pulls his jacket down and looks at the monitor:: ALL: So my lovely crew what have we learned about this station?

CNS_Ens_Wharton says:
XO: Never come back here again, sir?

CTO_LtJg_Salor says:
XO: It is not as it appears.

Host CO_Captain_Grey-feather says:
:: smiles :: CIV: That would make a very nice gift.  Because once we can find out what is going on with the manifests we can use it to our advantage

FCO_Cmdr_Lane says:
XO: Duck?

CNS_Ens_Wharton says:
:: Smiles over at the FCO::

XO_LtCmndr_Wolf says:
:: looks at Hope:: FCO: Duck?

CTO_LtJg_Salor says:
FCO:  Did you find fowl on the station?

CIV_Cmdr_Mrlr says:
CO: Maybe...there might be a lot of people who have access to them.  Places like this...could be up to 50...

FCO_Cmdr_Lane says:
:: looks at Aeris :: CNS: They don't get it do they counsellor? :: giggles ::

CNS_Ens_Wharton says:
:: Sighs:: FCO: They weren't the one who had to pick up the pieces. :: Smiles lightly::

XO_LtCmndr_Wolf says:
:; raises his hands in the air:: Self: women

Host CO_Captain_Grey-feather says:
CIV: Then we have to narrow the field

CIV_Cmdr_Mrlr says:
::bats her eyes at him:: CO: Can I please talk to Gorgon?  pretty please?

FCO_Cmdr_Lane says:
XO: Oh c'mon Commander, you know you can't live without them, right?

CNS_Ens_Wharton says:
:: Giggles:: XO: You just love us.

CTO_LtJg_Salor says:
FCO: Live without what Ms. Lane?

Host CO_Captain_Grey-feather says:
CIV: When the time is right my love I will personally deliver him to you :: but I want to see the look on his face as his fleet is destroyed by his own pirates

XO_LtCmndr_Wolf says:
:: smiles:: FCO: My day just wouldn’t be the same if i couldn’t bask in your beauty and awesomeness

FCO_Cmdr_Lane says:
CTO: Women of course. :: smiles ::

CNS_Ens_Wharton says:
::Grins and mutters to FCO:: FCO: PDA.

CTO_LtJg_Salor says:
FCO: Oh yes, the male gender needs to female, to make sure there species is fruitful.

CNS_Ens_Wharton says:
:: Smiles at the CTO:: CTO: I think you have some learning to do, sir.

CIV_Cmdr_Mrlr says:
::mock pouts:: CO: Spoil sport....so I guess I'm stuck with speaking to little clerks who cower easily.  Absolutely no challenge at all.

FCO_Cmdr_Lane says:
XO: Remember that when you catch one of us with their hair in towels and ratty slippers.

XO_LtCmndr_Wolf says:
:: grins evilly:: CNS: Are you the one educate our resident Vulcan ensign?

CTO_LtJg_Salor says:
CSN: I am quite aware of the mating practices of numerous species.

CNS_Ens_Wharton says:
::Smiles brightly at the XO:: XO: I'm the CNS on board, am I not?

XO_LtCmndr_Wolf says:
CNS: Are you?

CNS_Ens_Wharton says:
CTO: I'm not talking about mating, genius...::Sighs::

XO_LtCmndr_Wolf says:
::stifles a laugh::

CNS_Ens_Wharton says:
XO: Last I checked, sir.

XO_LtCmndr_Wolf says:
::doubles over in laughter::

FCO_Cmdr_Lane says:
:: shakes her head at Salor :: CTO: Careful Salor. You're entering a dangerous subject there.

Host CO_Captain_Grey-feather says:
CIV: You are allowed to take trophies :: grins evilly::

XO_LtCmndr_Wolf says:
:: wipes the tears from his eyes:: ALL: Ok now down to business

CNS_Ens_Wharton says:
XO: Yes, sir.

XO_LtCmndr_Wolf says:
::looks over at Salor:: CTO: What’s your theory on this station?

CTO_LtJg_Salor says:
FCO: is the human race uncomfortable discussing the differences between the male and female of there race?

FCO_Cmdr_Lane says:
:: whispers to Wolf :: XO: You're very emotional for a Klingon aren't you? :: smiles ::

CIV_Cmdr_Mrlr says:
::slightly mollified:: CO: I suppose that will have to do.  With your permission, my love...I'll get started right away.  My claws have been a little itchy lately. ::unsheathes a razor sharp one and inspects::  I think they need sharpening.

XO_LtCmndr_Wolf says:
::whispers back:: FCO: Somewhat

FCO_Cmdr_Lane says:
CTO: No, they're not, but trying to explain it a Vulcan is ..well...difficult.

CTO_LtJg_Salor says:
::looks at the XO:   XO: It seems that gorgon has a controlling hand on what happens around here. as he has the most to gain, with all his ships that come and go that far outnumber any other.
Host CO_Captain_Grey-feather says:
CIV: Granted :: gives her a kiss before she goes :: Good hunting my dear.

CTO_LtJg_Salor says:
FCO: There is no need to explain, I understand how it is done.  ::nodding to her::

CIV_Cmdr_Mrlr says:
::gives him a grin and leaves the ready room, waves to everyone on the bridge and is obviously in a very good mood as she saunters to the turbo lift::

XO_LtCmndr_Wolf says:
CTO: So what about his inventory?

FCO_Cmdr_Lane says:
:: shrugs and walks over to the helm to talk to Flight ::

Host CO_Captain_Grey-feather says:
*XO*: Commander I need you and the rest of the bridge crew in here now

CTO_LtJg_Salor says:
XO: Sir, his inventory manly with his pakled ships has been the ones hit the most by the pirates.

XO_LtCmndr_Wolf says:
*CO*: On our way

XO_LtCmndr_Wolf says:
ALL: Well let’s go people

FCO_Cmdr_Lane says:
:: pats Flight's shoulder and heads towards the ready room ::

CTO_LtJg_Salor says:
::turns TAC back over to the TO and goes in the ready room::

CNS_Ens_Wharton says:
:: Follows everyone else into the ready room::

XO_LtCmndr_Wolf says:
:; moves towards the RR::

FCO_Cmdr_Lane says:
:: looks around for a moment ::

Host CO_Captain_Grey-feather says:
All: We have a problem folks :: motions for them to take a seat ::

XO_LtCmndr_Wolf says:
::takes his seat::

FCO_Cmdr_Lane says:
:: moves the furthest into the room and takes a seat ::

CTO_LtJg_Salor says:
::takes a seat::

CNS_Ens_Wharton says:
::Sits next to the FCO:: Self: Oh dear...this can't be good...

FCO_Cmdr_Lane says:
:: nods :: CNS: I think you're right.

Host CO_Captain_Grey-feather says:
All: From this time forward none of the senior staff of this vessel is to discuss any information or operations with individuals on this station....including STARFLEET

XO_LtCmndr_Wolf says:
:: raises an eyebrow::

FCO_Cmdr_Lane says:
CO: Including the senior station staff sir?

CNS_Ens_Wharton says:
::Nods::

Host CO_Captain_Grey-feather says:
FCO: Yes Hope, especially the senior staff.  There is a security leak on that station and at this time we don’t know how many levels it effects

FCO_Cmdr_Lane says:
CO: Understood sir.

CTO_LtJg_Salor says:
CO: I would guess to say that it goes to highest levels, it is quite unsettleing how everyone here is so agreeable.

XO_LtCmndr_Wolf says:
CO: Think the station has been compromised by a criminal organization?

Host CO_Captain_Grey-feather says:
All: Still tracking down leads but this is how the pirates know what ships to attack and how they knew we were coming

Host CO_Captain_Grey-feather says:
XO: I think criminal organizations can pay very well for what they need, alot more than military scale.
CTO: Remember the old earth saying, the best trick the devil ever pulled was making everyone          believe he didn’t exist.

CNS_Ens_Wharton says:
:: Shivers at the Captain's comment on the devil::

FCO_Cmdr_Lane says:
CO: So you think Gorgon is behind everything?

CTO_LtJg_Salor says:
CO: I do not know that phrase, but it sounds about right for an analogy of the situation hear.

Host CO_Captain_Grey-feather says:
FCO: I think that since his are the only shipments not being destroyed, and he is the only turning a profit.  That he is pulling most if not all of the strings

CTO_LtJg_Salor says:
CO: But captain his ships are being raided.

FCO_Cmdr_Lane says:
:: looks at Salor :: CTO: But are they really? I mean, it could be a ploy to make us think he's a victim too.

Host CO_Captain_Grey-feather says:
CTO: But his cargo is not getting destroyed.  He has merchandise to sell, even when his ships are getting raided

CNS_Ens_Wharton says:
CO: Captain, the pakled captain told me as well that he was just ferrying stuff when they were attacked, and not long after that, we were. A lure?

CTO_LtJg_Salor says:
FCO: perhaps his cargo is insured and he is doubling his profits,  It would be fitting for a Ferengi

Host CO_Captain_Grey-feather says:
FCO: I think there is a lot of smoke and mirrors here, and that behind the so called curtain we are going to find that big lobed Ferengi working the controls
