Prologue: The Apache has found a few leads in the investigation that might lend some creditablity to the Ferengi Captain's claim that maybe the Planet's President and the Station Commander may be in on these Pirate attacks. Will these leads pan out or is the Crew of the Apache on yet another wild goose chase.

 CO_Captain_Grey-feather says:
:: pacing around the bridge, pacing seems to increase the closer his mate gets to birth::

XO_LtCmndr_Wolf says:
:: stands near the docking hatch with the boarding party::

FCO_Cmdr_Lane says:
:: at the helm reviewing the preparations to the shuttle in the hanger bay ::

XO_LtCmndr_Wolf says:
:: looks over at Gorrel surrounded by burly TO`s::

XO_LtCmndr_Wolf says:
*CO*: Boarding party ready skipper

FCO_Cmdr_Lane says:
CO: Captain, the shuttle is ready if required.

 CO_Captain_Grey-feather says:
FCO: Good work.  Let’s hope this will be simple and we can just grab this little weasel

FCO_Cmdr_Lane says:
:: smiles :: CO: Wolf will get him sir.

 CO_Captain_Grey-feather says:
CIV: Mrlr make sure the XO has images of Louie.

XO_LtCmndr_Wolf says:
:: looks at the boarding party patiently waiting the order to go hunting::

 CO_Captain_Grey-feather says:
FCO: I have no doubt, it’s the collateral damage I worry about

CIV_Cmdr_Mrlr says:
CO: It would be better if I went with him.  I'm sure that Louie has altered his appearance somewhat

 CO_Captain_Grey-feather says:
*XO*: Wolf, Mrlr is on the way down to join you.  She has had experience with this character and will be able to identify him

XO_LtCmndr_Wolf says:
*CO*: Understood skipper

 CO_Captain_Grey-feather says:
CIV: Mrlr, go but be careful.  No high speed chases, you have a team of security for that

CIV_Cmdr_Mrlr says:
:: knows how hard it is for her mate to let her out of his sight when she is at this stage, smiles at him:: CO: I promise to be careful.

CIV_Cmdr_Mrlr says:
*XO*: I'll be there in a few minutes. :: heads towards the turbo lift::

 CO_Captain_Grey-feather says:
CIV: I will hold you to that

XO_LtCmndr_Wolf says:
*CIV*: Understood

XO_LtCmndr_Wolf says:
ALL: seems we`ll have company

 CO_Captain_Grey-feather says:
:: walks over and out of old habit takes position at the tactical console ::

CIV_Cmdr_Mrlr says:
:: heads out of the turbo lift and into the shuttle bay doing her best to not waddle:: XO: Are we ready to go, Wolf?

XO_LtCmndr_Wolf says:
CIV: ready when you are commander

Action: A small shuttle leaves the station and heads for the planet.

FCO_Cmdr_Lane says:
:: looks over at the Captain for a moment ::

XO_LtCmndr_Wolf says:
:: nods to the boarding party to move out and into the shuttle::

CIV_Cmdr_Mrlr says:
:: steps into the shuttle and takes a seat, tucking her tail neatly around her.  Grins up at Wolf with a devious glint in her eye:: XO: Then let's go hunting.

 CO_Captain_Grey-feather says:
:: tries to scan the shuttle occupants :: FCO: Hope see if you can get a projection on where that tin can is headed

XO_LtCmndr_Wolf says:
:: steps onto the shuttle with the team::

FCO_Cmdr_Lane says:
CO: On it sir.

XO_LtCmndr_Wolf says:
:: takes the pilots seat and begins pre-flight prep::

 CO_Captain_Grey-feather says:
:: hits the console with his fist :: FCO: Ah hell, the station commander is on that shuttle.

XO_LtCmndr_Wolf says:
*FCO*: Shuttle`s ready, permission to leave

FCO_Cmdr_Lane says:
:: taps the panel :: CO: She seems to be heading for the presidential quarters on the planet according to these projections.

FCO_Cmdr_Lane says:
*XO*: Permission for departure granted Commander, and good hunting.

XO_LtCmndr_Wolf says:
*FCO*: Roger that

 CO_Captain_Grey-feather says:
FCO: See if you can get us clearance to enter planetary airspace.  We may need to go hunting down there

XO_LtCmndr_Wolf says:
:: lifts the shuttle up and skims out of the shuttle bay::

FCO_Cmdr_Lane says:
CO: Aye sir.

FCO_Cmdr_Lane says:
COM: Phil Marginis: This is the USS Apache requesting permission for one of our shuttles to enter your airspace.

XO_LtCmndr_Wolf says:
@:: gently swings the shuttle around::

FCO_Cmdr_Lane says:
CO: They have received the request. Waiting for a response.

XO_LtCmndr_Wolf says:
@:: points the nose towards the station::

 Rich says:
Planetary OPS Says COM: Apache: Roger you have permission for your shuttle craft to enter our air space however they are to stay to this strict route and land only at these coordinates. :: Send coordinates and route:: Is that under stood.

FCO_Cmdr_Lane says:
:: looks at the Captain ::

 CO_Captain_Grey-feather says:
FCO: Let me guess those coordinates are not anywhere near where the station commander is right?

FCO_Cmdr_Lane says:
CO: Affirmative sir.

FCO_Cmdr_Lane says:
CO: Shall I acknowledge?

 CO_Captain_Grey-feather says:
FCO: Thank them for their help.

FCO_Cmdr_Lane says:
CO: They seem to direct us to a landing site some distance away, other craft are located there.

 CO_Captain_Grey-feather says:
:: scans the planetary defences and gets a big grin on his face :: *XO*: Wolf I am sending you position of one of the planetary sensor  platforms.  Its non-operational, we didn’t get clearance for you to make for the planet.  Make for their blind spot

CIV_Cmdr_Mrlr says:
@:: hears the comm.:: XO: The planet?  I wonder what changed.

XO_LtCmndr_Wolf says:
@*CO*: Understood Captain. Seems I’m having trouble hearing you ::grins as he changes course for the sensor platforms::

FCO_Cmdr_Lane says:
COM: Planet OPS: Acknowledgement to coordinates and route. Message understood. Thank you for your assistance. Apache out.

XO_LtCmndr_Wolf says:
@CIV: Seems maybe our quarry has changed location it would seem. One day i`m going to have to talk to Commander Lane about the COM systems on this shuttle

 CO_Captain_Grey-feather says:
FCO: You know what position this puts us in Hope?

XO_LtCmndr_Wolf says:
@:: adjusts his heading as he skims the platform::

CIV_Cmdr_Mrlr says:
@:: chuckles::

FCO_Cmdr_Lane says:
:: turns to look at Grey-Feather :: CO: Sir?

XO_LtCmndr_Wolf says:
@:; enters the sensor blind and darts down towards the planet::

XO_LtCmndr_Wolf says:
@:: notes the sensor data::

 CO_Captain_Grey-feather says:
FCO: If this turns bad and the shuttle needs help.  The Apache is going to break about 1/3 of the general orders and badly bruise the prime directive

CIV_Cmdr_Mrlr says:
@:; stretches and snaps her claws open and shut:: XO: It will be nice to be planet side, more room to run and chase after one's quarry.

XO_LtCmndr_Wolf says:
@CIV: This is interesting. Seems there`s a lot of old traffic in this sensor blind

Action: As the Shuttle heads for the planet a ship decloaks and fires on it disabling it and sending it on a very fast approach to the planet.

FCO_Cmdr_Lane says:
:: grins :: CO: Won't be the first time Captain, but I think I'd enjoy breaking the rules again.

XO_LtCmndr_Wolf says:
@:: swears as the alarms go off::

CIV_Cmdr_Mrlr says:
@XO: Obviously we aren't the only ones that want to approach without detection...::stops abruptly and hangs on as the shuttle is hit::

XO_LtCmndr_Wolf says:
@*Apache*: Mayday, mayday apache were hit and going in

CO_Captain_Grey-feather says:
Out loud: Damn

CIV_Cmdr_Mrlr says:
@:: mutters out loud:: out loud: If anything happens I will never hear the end of it from Joshua.

XO_LtCmndr_Wolf says:
@CIV: grab something to hold onto commander:: fights to gain some form of control::

 CO_Captain_Grey-feather says:
FCO: Looks like you are going to get that chance.  Take us out.  I have tactical.

FCO_Cmdr_Lane says:
CO: Aye sir, moving us out.

Action: The XO is able to gain some control but the landing is still quite hard and there are some injuries to the security team as well as the CIV receiving a broken arm.

XO_LtCmndr_Wolf says:
@:; grits his teeth and swears::

 CO_Captain_Grey-feather says:
:: prepares to go to red alert once the ship clears the station ::

FCO_Cmdr_Lane says:
:: taps the console, her fingers moving in quick response ::

Action: The enemy ship cloaks again.

XO_LtCmndr_Wolf says:
@:: stands and waits for the dizziness to subside::

CIV_Cmdr_Mrlr says:
@:: looks around and shakes her head to clear it:: XO: Nice job...at least you got us down in one piece.

FCO_Cmdr_Lane says:
CO: Sir, what about the shuttle?

XO_LtCmndr_Wolf says:
@:: nods and picks up a med kit moving to the CIV::

XO_LtCmndr_Wolf says:
@CIV: Any landing you can walk away from is a good one

 CO_Captain_Grey-feather says:
FCO: That’s where we are going, get our people back

CIV_Cmdr_Mrlr says:
@*CO*: Joshua, can you hear us? :: waves the XO over to some of the other worse off injured::

XO_LtCmndr_Wolf says:
@:: Pulls out a medical tri-corder and runs it over Mrlr`s injured arm::

Action: The Apache clears the station with no problems.

FCO_Cmdr_Lane says:
CO: We're clear sir.

 CO_Captain_Grey-feather says:
:: takes the ship to red alert ::

 CO_Captain_Grey-feather says:
FCO: Let’s go bring them back to the ship Hope.

XO_LtCmndr_Wolf says:
@:: begins to check his injured and wounded::

CIV_Cmdr_Mrlr says:
@XO: How bad are the others?

 CO_Captain_Grey-feather says:
:: looking somewhat relived:: *CIV*: I can hear you Mrlr,

FCO_Cmdr_Lane says:
:: turns the Apache towards the shuttle's crash location ::

XO_LtCmndr_Wolf says:
@CIV: A few broken bones but no fatalities

CIV_Cmdr_Mrlr says:
@*CO*: Wolf was able to bring us into some sort of a controlled landing.  ::nods as she hears the XO:: We have a few broken bones, but no fatalities.

CO_Captain_Grey-feather says:
*CIV*: That’s good news.  We are enroute for extraction now

CIV_Cmdr_Mrlr says:
@*CO*: Stay away from this area of space.  There is a cloaked ship up there, that's what attacked us.  We were unable to get a good look at it.

Action: The Apache is being hailed from the President's Office.

FCO_Cmdr_Lane says:
CO: I have them on sensors. Ready to beam them up on your order sir.

XO_LtCmndr_Wolf says:
@CIV: the shuttle is stuffed. :: kicks a piece of wreckage::

FCO_Cmdr_Lane says:
CO: Incoming message from the planet sir......the President's office.

CIV_Cmdr_Mrlr says:
@XO: Can we get the shuttle repaired enough to fly out of here?  The Apache can't drop their shields to transport us with that cloaked ship up there.

XO_LtCmndr_Wolf says:
@CIV: She needs major work and we don’t have the equipment needed

 CO_Captain_Grey-feather says:
FCO: Oh put him on:: the agitation in his voice  is obvious ::

FCO_Cmdr_Lane says:
:: taps the console :: CO: she's on sir.

CIV_Cmdr_Mrlr says:
@:: nods and then grimaces as her arm grates with the movement:: XO: Help me splint this up please, the portable regenerators don't work on Caitian physiology so I'll have to wait until we get back t the ship.

Action: A very attractive dark haired woman appears on the viewscreen.

XO_LtCmndr_Wolf says:
@:: kneels beside Mrlr and begins to splint and bandage her arm::

XO_LtCmndr_Wolf says:
@:: smiles at her :: CIV: Now would not be a good time to go into labour

 Debralla says:
#COM: Apache: What is going on out there? Why have you moved you ship to the farside of the planet?

CIV_Cmdr_Mrlr says:
@::hisses at him in jest:: XO: You just don't want to have to help take care of three squalling kitlings until the Apache can get us out of here.

 CO_Captain_Grey-feather says:
COM: Debrella: One of my shuttles was fired upon by a cloaked ship as they were doing a survey.  This is a rescue mission

XO_LtCmndr_Wolf says:
@:: smiles:: Civ: You have me there

 Pres_Debralla says:
#COM: Apache: Have you found the ship?

CIV_Cmdr_Mrlr says:
@::chuckles:: XO: If you thought having the twins crawling all over you and pouncing on you was bad enough, wait a couple more years.

XO_LtCmndr_Wolf says:
@Civ: the twin’s don’t have claws

 CO_Captain_Grey-feather says:
COM: Debralla : Our shuttle or the cloaked ship that fired on it.

 Pres_Debralla says:
#COM: Apache: Either one.

 CO_Captain_Grey-feather says:
COM: Pres_Debralla : We have located our shuttle and are manoeuvring to rescue our people

CIV_Cmdr_Mrlr says:
@XO: there is that. :: growls softly instinctively in pain until the XO gets the splint on tighter:: Ah...that's much better. Thank you.  How about the others?

 Pres_Debralla says:
#COM: Apache: Do you need any assistance?

XO_LtCmndr_Wolf says:
@::looks around :: CIV: Were all good for now

 CO_Captain_Grey-feather says:
COM: Pres_Debralla : Only if you have a way to keep that cloaked ship off of us, but I am sure that is beyond your assistance.

CIV_Cmdr_Mrlr says:
@:: leans back and shifts her splinted arm over her belly:: XO: Then we wait.

 CO_Captain_Grey-feather says:
FCO: Hope tell them to get ready for transport

 Pres_Debralla says:
#COM: Apache: There I am afraid you are right. However if you want I can send a medical and rescue team to where your shuttle has crashed and lend aide there if you want.

 CO_Captain_Grey-feather says:
COM: Pres_Debralla:  Have them standing by, in case our attempt fails if you please

FCO_Cmdr_Lane says:
:: nods and contacts the shuttle :: *XO*: Commander, have everyone prepare for transport.

 Pres_Debralla says:
#COM: Apache: Roger just give us a call if you need any help.

 Pres_Debralla says:
:: closes the COM::

XO_LtCmndr_Wolf says:
@FCO*: Acknowledged

XO_LtCmndr_Wolf says:
@ALL: Standby for transport

FCO_Cmdr_Lane says:
CO: Dropping shields sir?

CIV_Cmdr_Mrlr says:
@XO: You do know that I am never going to hear the end of this from Captain Grey-feather.  the "I-told-you-so's" will go on for weeks. ::sighs:: Maybe I should stay here.

 CO_Captain_Grey-feather says:
:: lowers the shields for transport :: FCO: Shields coming down transport now

Action: A ship suddenly decloaks and locks weapons on the Apache

FCO_Cmdr_Lane says:
:: taps the button :: CO: Transporters activated.

Action: As the Transporter activates the ship is hit with phaser fire opening a large hole in the starboard hull.

FCO_Cmdr_Lane says:
CO: We're been hit sir!

Action: All the AT is transported aboard.

XO_LtCmndr_Wolf says:
:: blinks as he re-materialised::

 CO_Captain_Grey-feather says:
FCO: Get us out of here ::tries to raise shields and prepare to return fire ::

FCO_Cmdr_Lane says:
CO: Away team aboard sir! :: sighs :: All well sir.

FCO_Cmdr_Lane says:
CO: Aye sir, evasive manoeuvres engaged.

 CO_Captain_Grey-feather says:
*ME*: Damage control teams needed

CIV_Cmdr_Mrlr says:
:: rematerializes and hears the ship getting hit at the same time.  Swears and heads straight for the bridge:: Out loud to herself: Of all the idiotic...I told him...We could have waited...::enters the turbo lift still muttering to herself, tail twitching in agitation::

Action: As the shields on the Apache come back up the view screen lights up with the image of Louie the Mouse with this  message."This was just a warning either leave or the next time we blow you out of the galaxy"  and the enemy ship cloaks again.
