@COM: Apache: Captain it looks like you have gotten the best of us. I am willing to dicuss your terms of surrender.

 CO_Captain_Grey-feather says:
COM: Ferengi : I am listening

::Imagines the possibilities for upgrades on the holodeck with extra latnum::

 Kirgke says:
@COM: Apache: If that is the case Captain it will cost you some serious latnum.

 CO_Captain_Grey-feather says:
COM: Ferengi : Dead...no, disabled and tractored yes..  Or left here with a nice note for those incoming ships about how helpful you were to us

FCO_Cmdr_Lane says:
:: texts back :: OPS: Don`t worry, the Captain always has a backup plan.

Action: The Ferengi looks a little shaken by the last statement.

OPS_Ens_Wharton says:
::Grins and whispers:: FCO: You think I was worried?

FCO_Cmdr_Lane says:
:: shakes her head ::

CO: Roughly 20 people on board, sir.

 CO_Captain_Grey-feather says:
COM: Ferengi: No weapons will be allowed during transport and you will allow full access to your computer files.  Delete one file or bring so much as a tooth sharpener and you will be left here

FCO_Cmdr_Lane says:
XO: Cargo bay two is empty. :: grins ::

 Kirgke says:
@COM: Apache: Roger full access granted just get us out of here.

 CO_Captain_Grey-feather says:
OPS: Download their computer to a quarantine file; transport them to cargo bay 2 with a level 10 force field around it

FCO_Cmdr_Lane says:
CO: Sir, I can access their communication systems. We can download their data on your orders.

 CO_Captain_Grey-feather says:
XO: Have tactical put a full detail around that cargo bay

XO_LtCmdr_Wolf says:
CO: Aye sir

OPS_Ens_Wharton says:
::Nods:: CO: Aye, Captain. ::Looks up:: COM: Ferengi: Prepare for Transport.

 CO_Captain_Grey-feather says:
All: We have 5 minutes to get it done and get gone

@COM: Apache: Captain we are ready when you are.
