XO_LtCmndr_wolf says:
CO: Shuttle standing by

 CO_Captain_Grey-feather says:
CIV: Let’s hope it stays that way

 CO_Captain_Grey-feather says:
XO: Very good Wolf.

 CO_Captain_Grey-feather says:
FCO: Maintain course and speed

CIV_Cmdr_Mrlr says:
:: puts a paw quickly on her belly as one of the little ones decides to do laps around mama's tummy::

XO_LtCmndr_wolf says:
::re-routes tactical to his console::

FCO_Cmdr_Lane says:
CO: Aye sir, maintaining course and speed.

 CO_Captain_Grey-feather says:
*Gorrel*: I do, but it had better be time spent profitably

FCO_Cmdr_Lane says:
CO: Keeping the Andorian ship to our port and just slightly forward sir.

 Gorrel says:
*CO*: As to the profitability of it will depend on whether you view the information I have a worthwhile.

 CO_Captain_Grey-feather says:
FCO: Very good

 CO_Captain_Grey-feather says:
*Gorrel*: On my way

 CO_Captain_Grey-feather says:
XO: Wolf you have the bridge, :: heads for the turbo lift ::

XO_LtCmndr_wolf says:
CO: Understood

XO_LtCmndr_wolf says:
:: runs a quick visual check of the bridge::

 CO_Captain_Grey-feather says:
:: goes to meet with the Ferengi ::

XO_LtCmndr_wolf says:
::runs a sensor sweep of the area::

FCO_Cmdr_Lane says:
:: glances over at Wolf before bringing her eyes back to her screen ::

XO_LtCmndr_wolf says:
FCO: How are you today Hope?

CIV_Cmdr_Mrlr says:
:: thinks that Wolf needs a better opening line::

FCO_Cmdr_Lane says:
XO: Just fine Commander, same as yesterday and the day before that.

XO_LtCmndr_wolf says:
:: checks the sensor feeds::

 Gorrel says:
:: waits for the CO to show up::

XO_LtCmndr_wolf says:
FCO: Same day same stuff huh

CIV_Cmdr_Mrlr says:
::looks at the sensors:: XO: Hmmmm...I believe we've had some company in this area not too long ago.

 CO_Captain_Grey-feather says:
:: makes his way from the turbo lift to where Gorrel is :: Gorrel: So you wanted to speak with me?

FCO_Cmdr_Lane says:
XO: It's a human thing Commander, I doubt you would understand.

XO_LtCmndr_wolf says:
:: smiles and go back to checking the sensor sweeps::

CIV_Cmdr_Mrlr says:
XO: I'm reading a disturbance in the local area.  A ship passed through here recently.

 Gorrel says:
:: Looks up:: CO: Yes Captain I know that you probably won't believe me but I believe Gorron is being set up.

XO_LtCmndr_wolf says:
CIV: Understood, can we ID there warp trail?

FCO_Cmdr_Lane says:
:: looks over at Mrlr ::

FCO_Cmdr_Lane says:
CIV: Mrlr, can you be more specific?

CIV_Cmdr_Mrlr says:
:: shakes her head:: XO: no warp trail .  But the space dust and muck in the area has been disturbed, exactly as if a ship passed through.

 CO_Captain_Grey-feather says:
Gorrel : It would take a hell of a lot of information to convince me of that, considering what we have been through at his hands

XO_LtCmndr_wolf says:
CIV: Understood. Ready a class 9 probe to fly along the disturbances flight path

CIV_Cmdr_Mrlr says:
XO: Aye.

 Gorrel says:
CO: Believe me Captain. Gorron is all Ferengi but I have worked for him long enough to know that he is to greedy to have to share any profit with any pirates.

 Gorrel says:
CO: Also I really don't think he would be smart enough to control any pirates and manage the shipping company.

CIV_Cmdr_Mrlr says:
XO: probe is ready.

XO_LtCmndr_wolf says:
FCO: Maintain course and speed, let`s keep an eye out for anyone who might be hiding out there waiting to bushwhack us

 CO_Captain_Grey-feather says:
Gorrel : So who would you suspect of being in charge of the pirates if not Gorron...hypothetically speaking of course

FCO_Cmdr_Lane says:
:: turns to look at Wolf :: XO: Aye sir, but they wouldn't dare, would they?

XO_LtCmndr_wolf says:
FCO: I wouldn’t put anything past these jokers

XO_LtCmndr_wolf says:
CIV: Anything showing on sensors Commander?

FCO_Cmdr_Lane says:
:: thinks that Wolf is sounding more and more like an Aussie from Earth ::

CIV_Cmdr_Mrlr says:
:: sends the probe along the path of the other ship:: XO: Nothing yet.  The probe should start picking up something soon.

 Gorrel says:
CO: That my dear Captain is still up in the air however we did not have any pirate problems till shortly after the new Starfleet station commander showed up and the the new Planetary President took over.

XO_LtCmndr_wolf says:
CIV: Excellent.

 CO_Captain_Grey-feather says:
Gorrel : Let me guess both arrivals where at that same time or close to

XO_LtCmndr_wolf says:
CIV: How the little ones today?

 Gorrel says:
CO: You are right the Planetary President took over his new position about a month before the Station Commander showed up and it seem that within about 3 month ships started getting hit by the pirates.

CIV_Cmdr_Mrlr says:
:: chuckles:: XO: The twins are up to their usual mischief and these little kitlings are running laps around their mama's tummy.

XO_LtCmndr_wolf says:
:: smiles::

XO_LtCmndr_wolf says:
CIV: Future Rugby players in the making

FCO_Cmdr_Lane says:
:: looks at Mrlr again :: CIV: It should be soon now, right? :: indicating her condition ::

CIV_Cmdr_Mrlr says:
::tilts her ears towards him:: XO; Rugby?

XO_LtCmndr_wolf says:
CIV: An earth sport. But then again maybe they`ll end up playing Aussie Rules football

FCO_Cmdr_Lane says:
:: looks at Wolf with a raised eyebrow ::

XO_LtCmndr_wolf says:
CIV: Have you picked out names yet?

 CO_Captain_Grey-feather says:
Gorrel: Anyone on the planetary government seem upset about this change

CIV_Cmdr_Mrlr says:
FCO: About a month to go according to the doctor.  And then the real fun begins.

 Gorrel says:
CO: Which change Captain?

 CO_Captain_Grey-feather says:
Gorrel: The planetary president along with the starfleet commander.  Anyone on the planetary council or the station have naysay about it

CIV_Cmdr_Mrlr says:
XO: Not yet.  Caitian custom is to not name the kittens until they are a few days old to let their personalities develop.  It's from an old belief that the name defines the individual.

FCO_Cmdr_Lane says:
:: smiles at Mrlr :: CIV: Wow, not long at all. I wish I knew more about Caitians, but I suppose it will go off without any problems. I mean....well......you seem very fit and all.

CIV_Cmdr_Mrlr says:
::grins:: FCO: not to mention modern medicine.

CIV_Cmdr_Mrlr says:
::looks at the console:: XO: Hmmm...this is interesting.  The probe is not able to pick up a warp trail, but it is able to track the ship by the following the disturbances in the space muck.

 Gorrel says:
CO: As far as the Station Commander he was sent by Starfleet so no one had anything to do with that  and the Planetary President was elected according to the planet rules.

XO_LtCmndr_wolf says:
CIV: No warp trail? That doesn’t make sense, recheck the data

FCO_Cmdr_Lane says:
:: chuckles to herself ::

 CO_Captain_Grey-feather says:
Gorrel: It is just coincidence then that the two showed up.  That’s not much to go on

CIV_Cmdr_Mrlr says:
XO: Nope...no warp trail.  but then again, who's to say that the ship is actually going at warp?

XO_LtCmndr_wolf says:
CIV: true, if they are running at impulse it could account for the spacial disturbances

XO_LtCmndr_wolf says:
CIV: Can you tell how old the disturbances are?

 Gorrel says:
CO: I know however a little while after the station commander showed he seemed to be more interested in our shipping manifest claiming that they were new rules implemented by Starfleet to curb smuggling.

FCO_Cmdr_Lane says:
:: listens to Mrlr and Wolf's conversation ::

 CO_Captain_Grey-feather says:
Gorrel: Did he make it mandatory to present you manifests?  If so who collected them from ship to ship

CIV_Cmdr_Mrlr says:
XO; Looks as if the probe has suddenly lost the trail.  Interesting.

 Gorrel says:
CO: Yes and one of the Starfleet officers were sent around to collect them.

XO_LtCmndr_wolf says:
CIV: Any signs of a cloaked ship or a ship using grey mode?

 CO_Captain_Grey-feather says:
Gorrel: just one officer, would you know that officers name by chance?

 Gorrel says:
CO: Actually there were 3 officers and yes I would.

FCO_Cmdr_Lane says:
:: continues to monitor the Apache's course ::

 CO_Captain_Grey-feather says:
Gorrel: And what would their names cost me?

 Gorrel says:
CO: Actually Captain we never got their names they would hand us a PADD with the Station commander name on it stating that we were to hand over  a copy of the manifest to the person bearing these orders.

XO_LtCmndr_wolf says:
CIV: Ready a second probe. Let’s see if it disappears in the same spot

CIV_Cmdr_Mrlr says:
XO: No sign. :: readies a probe and sends it:: Second probe away.

 CO_Captain_Grey-feather says:
Gorrel : If we let you view images of the Starfleet officers could you identify them

 Gorrel says:
CO: Yes Captain.

 CO_Captain_Grey-feather says:
Gorrel : I will make arrangements for you to do so.  Anything your crew requires while on board?

XO_LtCmndr_wolf says:
:: watches the probe streak away::

 Gorrel says:
CO: If it wasn't for my ship being damaged I could have provided you with a picture of them.

 Gorrel says:
CO: No Captain they have been taken care of quite well.

XO_LtCmndr_wolf says:
:;stands and walks to the replicator. ordering an Extra strong Rak`Ta`Jino::

 CO_Captain_Grey-feather says:
Gorrel: I am sure that is what they counted on

FCO_Cmdr_Lane says:
:: sees the second probe on the screen and looks at Mrlr :: CIV: Any ideas why the probe lost contact?

XO_LtCmndr_wolf says:
::walks back to his seat sipping at the coffee:

XO_LtCmndr_wolf says:
CIV: Anything yet?

CIV_Cmdr_Mrlr says:
:: shakes her head:: FCO: I do have an idea.  What if the ship simply stopped?  there wouldn't be any trace of movement and the probe wouldn't be able to see a cloaked ship any more than we could,

CIV_Cmdr_Mrlr says:
XO; Second probe lost the trail at the exact same place.

XO_LtCmndr_wolf says:
CIV: Understood

FCO_Cmdr_Lane says:
CIV: Are there any anomalies in that area?

XO_LtCmndr_wolf says:
CIV: Mark the co-ordinates

Action: As the second probe passes the spot where the trail ends a Cardassian ship suddenly decloaks and warps out of the system.

CIV_Cmdr_Mrlr says:
XO: Ah...there you are you little bugger.  It looks like I was correct.  It was a Cardassian ship that was cloaked.  it has left the system at warp.

CIV_Cmdr_Mrlr says:
XO: argh  ::said to the screen of the console::

XO_LtCmndr_wolf says:
::raises an eyebrow:: CIV: Cardassian? And cloaked to boot. Now isn’t that interesting

XO_LtCmndr_wolf says:
*CO*: Captain we just Detected a cloaked Cardassian ship leaving the system

 CO_Captain_Grey-feather says:
*XO*: I have some information that you might find more interesting than that.  I will be returning to the bridge shortly

XO_LtCmndr_wolf says:
*CO*: Understood

XO_LtCmndr_wolf says:
FCO: Maintain course and speed commander

 CO_Captain_Grey-feather says:
Gorrel: Someone will be down with a viewer for you to look at.  Is there anything your crew requires before we reach the station?

XO_LtCmndr_wolf says:
CIV: Keep an eye out just in case there are more of them out there

 Gorrel says:
CO: No Captain most of them are getting some rest for now and I will hopefully be able to find the officers in question.

FCO_Cmdr_Lane says:
XO: Always Commander.

FCO_Cmdr_Lane says:
XO: A question Commander....

XO_LtCmndr_wolf says:
FCO: Shoot

 CO_Captain_Grey-feather says:
Gorrel : That is our hope as well, it is not our business to interfere with a planets development.  This has o be stopped.  Now if you will excuse me I have to return to the bridge

FCO_Cmdr_Lane says:
XO: Isn't it strange that the Andorians haven't expressed any interest in what we are doing? I mean they must have seen the probes and all.

XO_LtCmndr_wolf says:
:: stops for a second:: FCO: It is, i overlooked them

 Gorrel says:
CO: Aye Captain good luck I need this to be stopped as much as you do it is cutting in to my profits as well.

XO_LtCmndr_wolf says:
FCO: One would think they would be curious wouldn’t you

FCO_Cmdr_Lane says:
XO: I would be if I were their Captain.

 CO_Captain_Grey-feather says:
:: turns and heads for the turbo lift to the bridge ::

XO_LtCmndr_wolf says:
FCO: Very curious

XO_LtCmndr_wolf says:
FCO: I think our Andorian friends know more than they are letting on

FCO_Cmdr_Lane says:
XO: I hope they aren't setting us up for something.

XO_LtCmndr_wolf says:
FCO: that makes two of us Commander

 CO_Captain_Grey-feather says:
:: steps out onto the bridge :: All: Briefing room in 5 minutes
