Prologue: The Apache is still hiding in the asteroid field waiting for the Freighter to show up which is about 15 minutes out from the meeting spot. Also their elusive scanner seems to still looking for them as they are now randomly scanning asteroids in the field. Will they be able to get their needed supplies from the freighter or will the Pirates beat the Apache to them?

CO: And just informing you captain our unknown scanner is no longer scanning us

 CO_Captain_Grey-feather says:
CTO: Contact engineering and tell them supplies are coming and get rid of that Breen hull plate is the first thing they are to do

 Capt_Dremmen says:
@COM: Apache: Of that I have no doubt but it was nice to have them along. I only wish that they could stay and help you out but they have other thing to do.

 CO_Captain_Grey-feather says:
CTO: I am not surprised; everyone has a cloaking device in this sector but us it would appear

:; steps out of the TL and onto the bridge and moves to his chair::

 Capt_Dremmen says:
@:: Sees that the last of the supplies have been transported over to the Apache:: COM: Apache: Well Captain that should take care of all your needs for now.

XO_LtCmndr_Wolf says:
CO: Mighty convenient them turning up like that all unexpected like

OPS_Ens_Wharton says:
:: Sits back in her seat and finally lets out the breath that she didn't know she was holding:: Self: Well, now that's done...Still got to be careful though.

 CO_Captain_Grey-feather says:
FCO: Take us back into the asteroid field.  It will give the engineers a chance to work in piece and keep the pirates from finding out what we are doing

 CO_Captain_Grey-feather says:
XO: Never look a gift Klingon in the mouth...as they say

CTO_LtJg_Salor says:
CO: Or straight in the eyes, so I hear.

FCO_Cmdr_Lane says:
CO: On it Captain. :: taps the console controls and turns the ship back towards the asteroid field ::

XO_LtCmndr_Wolf says:
:: raises an eyebrow:: CO: So it would seem

 CO_Captain_Grey-feather says:
CTO: Very good.  Take us back to yellow alert, shields up

XO: If we can stay out of sight till repaired maybe we can have surprise on our side when we get back to the station

XO_LtCmndr_Wolf says:
:; smiles at Salor`s report:: CO: Give them a nice present next time we see them

 CO_Captain_Grey-feather says:
CTO: Very pleased.  Only thing would please me more is to find the person that left that out for us to find and break all of his digits

 CO_Captain_Grey-feather says:
XO: Oh I have a real nice present in mind :: grins evilly ::

OPS_Ens_Wharton says:
CO: Just his digits, sir? :: Smiles::

CTO_LtJg_Salor says:
CO: I don't see the logic in that statement sir, it did serve its purpose for the time.

FCO_Cmdr_Lane says:
:: laughs at the comment ::

XO_LtCmndr_Wolf says:
CO: About time we gave them something back

 CO_Captain_Grey-feather says:
OPS: Always start with the digits if you head them in the head to start...just makes them fuzzy and nonresponsive

 CO_Captain_Grey-feather says:
XO: Agreed

OPS_Ens_Wharton says:
::Grins:: CO: I'll be sure to keep that in mind.

CTO_LtJg_Salor says:
Self:  Humans, so barbaric.

 CO_Captain_Grey-feather says:
FCO: Good job keeping us out of the line of fire Hope

OPS_Ens_Wharton says:
:: Hears the CTO:: FCO: So says the Vulcan who's never heard of Elvis.

FCO_Cmdr_Lane says:
CO: Thank you Captain, all part of the service.

XO_LtCmndr_Wolf says:
:: looks at OPS with a raised eyebrow:: OPS: Elvis?

FCO_Cmdr_Lane says:
OPS: I think we should fill Salor in on all things Elvis.

 CO_Captain_Grey-feather says:
XO: Make sure the engineers dont waste anything.  If they have scrap left over put it in a cargo bay.  We cant expect to go shopping like this all the time

XO_LtCmndr_Wolf says:
CO: Understood

OPS_Ens_Wharton says:
FCO: He WAS the king after all. :: Giggles:: XO: Yes sir. Elvis.

FCO_Cmdr_Lane says:
:: hears Wolf :: OPS: Him as well?

XO_LtCmndr_Wolf says:
:: lowers his eyes to his console:; OPS: never heard of him
