CTO: Take us to yellow alert.  Keep the shields up till the last minute before docking

CIV_Cmdr_Mrlr says:
:: checking on the ship parts and watching the XO's interrogation at the same time::

CTO_Ltjg_Salor says:
CO: captain, after reviewing the logs, I have not been able to find any other ships that contain the dilithium in question.

OPS_Ens_Wharton says:
CO: Aye Sir. :: Presses a few buttons:: COM: Station: This is the USS Apache, requesting permission to dock.

XO_LtCmndr_Wolf says:
Gorrel: Good morning Mr Gorrel

 Gorrel says:
:: Sees the XO walk in :: XO: Do you need something Cmdr?

CTO_Ltjg_Salor says:
:: places the ship on yellow alert and raises shields::  CO: Yellow alert captain.

XO_LtCmndr_Wolf says:
:: holds a PADD in his hand::

FCO_Cmdr_Lane says:
:: looks over at Aeries::

XO_LtCmndr_Wolf says:
Gorrel: Just came in for a little chat.

 Gorrel says:
Station_OPS Says COM: Apache: Roger you have permission to dock at docking port 3.

 CO_Captain_Grey-feather says:
CTO: Maybe it was a case of the pirates stealing from pirates.  But keep trying to locate a sample.

OPS_Ens_Wharton says:
COM: Station OPS: Thank you. :: Cuts the com and looks over at the FCO:: FCO: Did I not do it right?

XO_LtCmndr_Wolf says:
:: slides the PADD containing the images of Starfleet personnel on it:: Gorrel: I want you to have a look at these images and see if you can identify any for me please

FCO_Cmdr_Lane says:
OPS: You did fine, after all they said yes. :: grins ::

 Gorrel says:
XO: Well that depends on what you want to chat about.

OPS_Ens_Wharton says:
:: Smiled:: FCO: I figured as much. :: Keeps monitoring com traffic::

FCO_Cmdr_Lane says:
CO: On final docking approach Captain.

XO_LtCmndr_Wolf says:
:: smiles:: Gorrel: Have a look at the PADD and tell me if you recognise anyone

CTO_Ltjg_Salor says:
:: monitoring approach off slower ships at the moment::

 Gorrel says:
:: looks over the list:: XO: I am sorry I don't recognize  any of these people.

CO_Captain_Grey-feather says:
FCO: Very good Hope.

FCO_Cmdr_Lane says:
:: glances over at Salor ::

XO_LtCmndr_Wolf says:
:: takes a few strips of latnum out of his pocket and slides them across the table:: Gorrel: have another look

CTO_Ltjg_Salor says:
::lowers shields as the Apache closes in to dock and nods to Ms. Lane that all is OK::

 Gorrel says:
XO: That won't help Cmdr the people that came to get the cargo manifest are not in this group.

XO_LtCmndr_Wolf says:
:: smiles:: Gorrel: So if they are not on this list then where did they come from?

FCO_Cmdr_Lane says:
:: moves the Apache towards docking port 3 ::

 Gorrel says:
XO: As I told you Captain they carried orders from the station commander that said that we were to give the manifest to them. How long before we are at the planet?

XO_LtCmndr_Wolf says:
Gorrel: Not long, why are you feeling homesick

 Gorrel says:
XO: No Cmdr. Some of my personal records are stored in the main computer at Gorron office and for the latnum you have there I will give you the codes to recover them from there.

XO_LtCmndr_Wolf says:
:: leans back and folds his arms across his chest:: Gorrel: So if you were to make an educated guess where would you say these liberators of your cargo came from? The planet maybe?

 Gorrel says:
XO: If they are then they are well hidden. I figure that they are part of the pirate clan that is operating here.

XO_LtCmndr_Wolf says:
:: smiles and adds a few strips:: Gorrel: Take the latnum and input the codes onto the PADD. But know this Ferengi, if you double cross me I’ll hunt you down and pin your ears to the wall :: smiles benevolently::

 Gorrel says:
XO: I have a feeling you will be well satisfied as these records do have pictures of the persons collecting the manifest records.

 Gorrel says:
:: inputs the codes and puts the latnum in his pocket::

FCO_Cmdr_Lane says:
:: pulls the Apache into the docking port and doesn't even scratch the paint ::

XO_LtCmndr_Wolf says:
Gorrel: Very well. Nice doing business with you Ferengi

 Gorrel says:
XO: Any time Cmdr I will be around if you need more information just bring enough latnum. :: Grins::

XO_LtCmndr_Wolf says:
:: picks the PADD up and exits the room::

FCO_Cmdr_Lane says:
CO: We are secured sir, Shall I remain on ship power for the time being?

OPS_Ens_Wharton says:
FCO: Smooth Docking. :: Grins::

CTO_Ltjg_Salor says:
CO: The area is secure.

XO_LtCmndr_Wolf says:
:: steps into the TL and heads for the bridge::

 Rich says:
Station_ OPS Says COM: Apache: Apache now that you are docked are you ready to switch over to station power?

 CO_Captain_Grey-feather says:
FCO: Yes until we know a bit more about the situation here and can verify Gorrels information

 CO_Captain_Grey-feather says:
OPS: Inform them we are in the middle of a core diagnostic and cannot switch at this time

FCO_Cmdr_Lane says:
:: leans over to Aeries :: OPS: play it cool.

XO_LtCmndr_Wolf says:
:: steps onto the bridge and walks over to the Mrlr::

XO_LtCmndr_Wolf says:
CIV: The Ferengi gave me these codes for his computer. He claims the information we need is on it

XO_LtCmndr_Wolf says:
:: hands her the PADD::

FCO_Cmdr_Lane says:
:: nods to the Captain in acknowledgement ::

CIV_Cmdr_Mrlr says:
:: takes the PADD:: XO: I'll see if I can hack into Gorrel's computer from here.  But I might have to go on the station for that.

OPS_Ens_Wharton says:
CO: Aye Captain. :: Presses a few buttons:: COM: Station: We are currently in the middle of a core diagnosis and are unable to switch to station power at the moment. Rest assured, we'll switch over once it's completed.

XO_LtCmndr_Wolf says:
CIV: I told him if they don’t work I’ll peel his ears off and nail them to the wall

CIV_Cmdr_Mrlr says:
:: chuckles:: XO: That will make some interesting wall art.

XO_LtCmndr_Wolf says:
:: smiles:: CIV: I thought you`d approve

CIV_Cmdr_Mrlr says:
:: smiles::

XO_LtCmndr_Wolf says:
:: moves to his command chair::

 CO_Captain_Grey-feather says:
:: hears the conversation between the XO and CIV.  Turns to hide the look of  concern about his very pregnant mate wanting to go on a convert mission to the station ::

FCO_Cmdr_Lane says:
:: finishes securing the helm station ::

OPS_Ens_Wharton says:
:: Waits for a response from the Station OPS::

CTO_Ltjg_Salor says:
:: watching the activity on the dock with sensors::

XO_LtCmndr_Wolf says:
:: sits beside the CO:: CO: you owe me latnum

CIV_Cmdr_Mrlr says:
:: starts to hack into the station's computer using the codes from Gorrel, while quietly humming to herself.  Her tail twitches in time with the song::

 CO_Captain_Grey-feather says:
XO: Me?? You been at the Dabo tables again haven’t you Wolf :: grins ::

XO_LtCmndr_Wolf says:
:: smiles :: CO: I wish, I had to bribe our guest for names

OPS_Ens_Wharton says:
:: Presses a few buttons:: COM: Station: I repeat: We are currently in the middle of a core diagnosis and are unable to switch to station power at the moment. Rest assured, we'll switch over once it's completed. Please respond.

CIV_Cmdr_Mrlr says:
:: notices something as she tiptoes through the data:: CO: I'm seeing something a bit unusual here.  While the com traffic between the Station Commander and the Planet President is nothing more than routine...there have been an unusually high number of personal visits between the two.  So either they are having an illicit love affair...or ....

XO_LtCmndr_Wolf says:
CO: how about you name your first born after me and we call it even:: smiles evilly::

 CO_Captain_Grey-feather says:
XO: He is locked in a cargo hold has no ship, and no way to communicate outside the ship...and you bribed him? :: laughs ::

Action: The Codes that Gorrel gave the XO succeeds in retrieving a lot of information including the pictures of the personal collecting the ship manifest from Gorrel.

FCO_Cmdr_Lane says:
:: chuckles at Mrlr's statement ::

XO_LtCmndr_Wolf says:
CO: It was quicker than breaking body parts

 Rich says:
Station_OPS Says COM: Apache: Roger Apache just give us a call when you are ready.

XO_LtCmndr_Wolf says:
:: chuckles quietly at the CIV::

 CO_Captain_Grey-feather says:
CIV: Well you never can tell, maybe it’s the presidents aftershave :: grins ::.  By chance did they get caught on surveillance cameras

CTO_Ltjg_Salor says:
CIV: if the station CMDR isn't a female it would not be in char for a Ferengi to have a love affair with the same sex

 CO_Captain_Grey-feather says:
XO: Impatient aren’t you.  When we find the head pirate you can take your latnum out of his hide

XO_LtCmndr_Wolf says:
CO: I need a new wall decoration

FCO_Cmdr_Lane says:
:: looks at Salor with a shocked expression ::

OPS_Ens_Wharton says:
::Just turns around and blinks at the conversation::

CTO_Ltjg_Salor says:
FCO: is there a problem Ms. Lane?

CIV_Cmdr_Mrlr says:
:: looking through the data that came up with the codes:: CO: Zilch on the surveillance between those tow...but I'm getting a lot of pictures and information, including those that are collecting the ship manifest from Gorrel.  None of them are showing up in Starfleet records.

FCO_Cmdr_Lane says:
CTO: Oh no Lieutenant, just listening with interest. :: smiles and turns back to her station ::

CIV_Cmdr_Mrlr says:
CTO: Actually, Left...it isn't the station commander that is female...it's the planet president.

CTO_Ltjg_Salor says:
FCO: I was only merely stating a fact. ::goes back to his console confused, like always::

XO_LtCmndr_Wolf says:
ALL: what can I say were just a blood thirsty bunch

 CO_Captain_Grey-feather says:
CIV: Dump them into the planetary database and Starfleet too, let’s see if any of them have been bad boys in the past

OPS_Ens_Wharton says:
::Leans over and whispers:: FCO: What are we supposed to do now that we're docked?

CTO_Ltjg_Salor says:
CIV: Then perhaps your first assessment maybe correct.

CIV_Cmdr_Mrlr says:
:: dumps them as the CO requests:: CO: I'm on it.

CIV_Cmdr_Mrlr says:
CTO: maybe....but I'll stick to my first impression that we have crooked officers on board this station.

XO_LtCmndr_Wolf says:
:: listens to the banter::

CTO_Ltjg_Salor says:
CIV: Yes Cmdr, of course.

 CO_Captain_Grey-feather says:
:: paces the bridge more ::

CIV_Cmdr_Mrlr says:
:: growls out loud as a file comes up on her screen::

XO_LtCmndr_Wolf says:
:: watches the Captain wear a groove into the deck plating::

FCO_Cmdr_Lane says:
OPS: Wait for the Captain's orders I guess.

CIV_Cmdr_Mrlr says:
CO: I just came across a picture of someone that Starfleet has been looking for, for a very long time.  He goes by Louie the Mouse.  :: her tail lashes back and forth in irritation:: He's wanted in just about every quadrant for piracy.  I've chased him a few times myself.

 CO_Captain_Grey-feather says:
OPS: What’s the matter ensign you have a hot date somewhere?  We are collecting information so we don’t get our butts handed to us on a plate like we did when we first entered this system.  Now if you would be so kind contact the Andorian freighter and see if they have made it back safely

 CO_Captain_Grey-feather says:
CIV: Is he usually the pirate or the head of the operation?

OPS_Ens_Wharton says:
CO: No Captain. No Hot date for me. I've had enough of them for a while. They tend to just make me mad...:: Turns around:: COM: Andorian Freighter: This is the Apache. Did you make it back safely?

XO_LtCmndr_Wolf says:
:: watches OPS closely::

 Rich says:
Andorian Captain Says COM: Apache: Yes Apache and thanks for the excort.

FCO_Cmdr_Lane says:
:: notices Wolf watching Aeries ::

OPS_Ens_Wharton says:
COM: Apache: Not a problem. Apache out.

CIV_Cmdr_Mrlr says:
::tail still lashing back and forth:: CO: I know for a fact that he has acted as both.  He's a little coward, gets things done by intimidating and threatening people.  only reason i didn't catch him the few times I was after him was that he was able to manipulate it so that if I were to succeed innocent bystanders would be killed. :: growls::

CTO_Ltjg_Salor says:
:: watching everyone watching each other and shakes his head::

OPS_Ens_Wharton says:
:: Turns around and noticed the XO:: XO: Something I can do for you, sir?

CIV_Cmdr_Mrlr says:
CO: I want this one...

 CO_Captain_Grey-feather says:
CIV: Not going to work this time, with all that has happened...collateral damage is acceptable

XO_LtCmndr_Wolf says:
OPS: Yes Ensign, keep your eyes on your console

OPS_Ens_Wharton says:
XO: With pleasure, sir. :: Turns around without a second glance::
