LtCmdr_Wolf says:
:: looks at the Captain::

Garrit says:
@COM: Apache: What may I help you with?

LtCmdr_Wolf says:
:: looks at the person on the monitor::

 CO_Captain_Grey-feather says:
COM: Garrit: This is Captain Grey-feather; we have captured one of the pirates.  His brethern are on the way, I just want to know what side of the street you are on....you standing with us or the pirates?

FCO_Cmdr_Lane says:
:: looks over at Aeris ::

OPS_Ens_Wharton says:
:: Looks over at Hope::

 Garrit says:
@COM: Apache: I am a loyal Starfleet officer.

CO_Captain_Grey-feather says:
COM: Garrit: Then prepare you station, this is going to be a war zone shortly.

LtCmdr_Wolf says:
::looks at Garrit and sneers::

 Garrit says:
@COM: Apache: Roger Captain Garrit out. :: closes the COM::

 CO_Captain_Grey-feather says:
XO: Wolf go down and see what information you can choke out of that Ferengi

OPS_Ens_Wharton says:
::Blinks at the Captain's comment and thinks, "I hope i don't have to shoot anyone..."::

FCO_Cmdr_Lane says:
CO: Orders Captain?

 CO_Captain_Grey-feather says:
:: walks over to tactical :: FCO: Prepare for evasive manoeuvres, this is going to be bad.

FCO_Cmdr_Lane says:
CO: Is there anyone else to help?

FCO_Cmdr_Lane says:
:: brings up the evasive manoeuvres grid and gets ready for what is to come ::

 CO_Captain_Grey-feather says:
FCO: I wouldn't count on the station for too much help

 CO_Captain_Grey-feather says:
OPS: Ensign open channel captains frequency to any Starfleet vessels in the area

Action: Sensors show the incoming ships starting to change course away from the Apache.

OPS_Ens_Wharton says:
CO: Aye sir...::Turns back to her console and opens a frequency:: Open, sir.

XO_LtCmdr_Wolf says:
:: heads for the TL::

FCO_Cmdr_Lane says:
:: reads the latest sensor report :: CO: Sir, the ships have changed course!

FCO_Cmdr_Lane says:
CO: They're heading away from us sir.

 CO_Captain_Grey-feather says:
:: keeps the ship at red alert :: FCO: Either something spooked them or they are getting out of the line of fire

OPS_Ens_Wharton says:
CO: Sir, I’m getting no response from the hails.

XO_LtCmdr_Wolf says:
:: turns at the comment:: CO: Cowards

 CO_Captain_Grey-feather says:
OPS: Understood

FCO_Cmdr_Lane says:
CO: I'd go with the spooky theory Captain.

CIV_Cmdr_Mrlr says:
::doesn't like the fact that the ship is at red alert still.  Gets up and speaks quietly to the nurse who goes over and sits next to the little crib with the three kitlings in it.  Heads out of sickbay and up to their quarters quickly::

 CO_Captain_Grey-feather says:
FCO: Let’s hope...Hope

XO_LtCmdr_Wolf says:
:: orders the TL to the cargo bays::

OPS_Ens_Wharton says:
CO: Unless the Station Commander told them to back off.

FCO_Cmdr_Lane says:
CO: Think the "Mouse" may be involved sir?

 CO_Captain_Grey-feather says:
XO: See if that Ferengi has any idea why they pulled back, maybe he is more important that we thought.  If he argues, cut his lobes off

CIV_Cmdr_Mrlr says:
:: changes into something resembling her old jumpsuit, just not as tight fitting and heads down to the bridge::

 CO_Captain_Grey-feather says:
FCO: Definitely, I think that the Ferengi knows something or has something in his computer banks that makes that Louie very afraid

OPS_Ens_Wharton says:
::Looks down at her readings:: CO: Sir, I’m picking up a COM that was hidden behind com static from the station to one for the pirate ships....it'll take me a while to decipher it.

XO_LtCmdr_Wolf says:
::steps out and walks towards the cargo bay hand on his Dak`tagh::

 CO_Captain_Grey-feather says:
OPS: You don't have a while, I want it now

CIV_Cmdr_Mrlr says:
::walks onto the bridge and quietly walks over to tactical:: CO: I think you would look much better in the centre seat, my love.  I'll take over here.

FCO_Cmdr_Lane says:
:: rolls her eyes at the Captain's statement ::

XO_LtCmdr_Wolf says:
::spots the Ferengi and heads straight for him::

OPS_Ens_Wharton says:
CO: Going as fast as I can, sir.

 CO_Captain_Grey-feather says:
CIV: You look much better in sickbay till the doctor releases you

FCO_Cmdr_Lane says:
:: hears Mrlr behind her and turns and smiles :: CIV: I understand congratulations are in order Commander.

CIV_Cmdr_Mrlr says:
:: chuckles:: CO: You forget, I'm not like you puny humans.  In my species, the female goes on a hunt immediately after the birth to feed the little ones.  And I think I'm in the mood to hunt a little "Mouse".

XO_LtCmdr_Wolf says:
::walks up to Kigke and lifts him up by the scruff of the neck::

CIV_Cmdr_Mrlr says:
FCO: Thank you Hope. ::smiles back::

OPS_Ens_Wharton says:
::Turns:: CO: I think I’ve got it Captain. It says, "I will handle it. You can let him know in a couple of minutes"

 CO_Captain_Grey-feather says:
CIV: Did you forget that those children are half puny human

 Kigke says:
:: looks at the big Klingon:: XO: Either kill me or get ready to deal I don't do well with threats.

CIV_Cmdr_Mrlr says:
CO: And they are sound asleep, snuggled together under the watchful eye of Nurse Ubermeister.

 CO_Captain_Grey-feather says:
OPS: Trace the origin of that signal...now

OPS_Ens_Wharton says:
CO: It was from the Station, sir. From the Station to one of the pirate ships.

XO_LtCmdr_Wolf says:
::smiles and shows his teeth:: Kigke: I don’t make threats big ears........i wondered how you`d look with those ears peeled off

 CO_Captain_Grey-feather says:
:: realizes he needs to picks his battles :: CIV: Take ove tactical Mrlr.  :: turns and heads towards OPS ::

 Kigke says:
XO: You have the knife go ahead and see.

XO_LtCmdr_Wolf says:
:: lowers the Ferengi to the floor:: Kigke: How much

 Kigke says:
XO: Immunity for me and my crew.

CIV_Cmdr_Mrlr says:
::takes over tactical with a little smile::  FCO: Anything exciting happen while I was gone?

CO_Captain_Grey-feather says:
OPS: Can you identify which terminal or log in

OPS_Ens_Wharton says:
CO: Can't say from where in the station, just that it came from there. It's just the way that the transmission was sent.

XO_LtCmdr_Wolf says:
Kigke: I`ll discuss it with the Captain. The final decision is his, but it depends on how good your info is big ears

FCO_Cmdr_Lane says:
CIV: I expect with your ears and eyes all over the ship, you know more about what is going on than I do. :: laughs ::

CIV_Cmdr_Mrlr says:
:: chuckles:: FCO: I was a little...um...preoccupied.

 Kigke says:
XO: I can tell you exactly where in the expanse Louie the mouse's headquarters are at.

 CO_Captain_Grey-feather says:
OPS: Can you locate the station commander?

XO_LtCmdr_Wolf says:
Kigke: Ferengi I may let you live :: hands him a PADD::

XO_LtCmdr_Wolf says:
Kigke: the co-ordinates

OPS_Ens_Wharton says:
:: Scans the Station:: CO: Office.

 Kigke says:
XO: After we get the promise of immunity and from the Captain himself not one of his lackies.

 CO_Captain_Grey-feather says:
OPS: Transport him to the bridge, and raise shields.  Deactivate any weapons during transport...do not afford him the courtesy of being a Starfleet officer.

FCO_Cmdr_Lane says:
CIV: I doubt even having babies hasn't dulled your edge Mrlr.

XO_LtCmdr_Wolf says:
::holds his Dak’tagh up near the Ferengi`s lobes:: Kigke: Very well but remember Ferengi if it doesn’t pan out I’ll carve your ears off

OPS_Ens_Wharton says:
::nods:: CO: Aye...sir...::Turns back and engages transport::

XO_LtCmdr_Wolf says:
:: runs the blade gently over the Ferengi`s lobes::

CIV_Cmdr_Mrlr says:
FCO: I hope that their...what's the term you humans use...Aunty Hope?...will enjoy them.

 CO_Captain_Grey-feather says:
:: stands ready for the commander and whatever reaction he might have ::

 Kigke says:
XO: If it doesn't pan out we are all dead.

FCO_Cmdr_Lane says:
:: smiles :: CIV: I look forward to meeting them soon.

XO_LtCmdr_Wolf says:
Kigke: Then I hope you have enough latnum for the divine treasury

Action: The Station commander materializes in the middle of the bridge.

XO_LtCmdr_Wolf says:
:: turns on his heel and heads for the TL::

 CO_Captain_Grey-feather says:
Garrit: Nice of you to join us :: smirks ::

CIV_Cmdr_Mrlr says:
::looks at the station commander with interest::

 Garrit says:
CO: And exactly what is the meaning of this?

XO_LtCmdr_Wolf says:
::steps into the TL:: TL: bridge

 CO_Captain_Grey-feather says:
Garrit : Well either I am solving my problem or saving you from getting a knife in the back from the person on your station that is working for the pirates.  Which is it?

FCO_Cmdr_Lane says:
:: sends a text message to Aeris :: OPS: Now you'll get to see the Captain in action.

 Garrit says:
CO: Person working for the pirates?

OPS_Ens_Wharton says:
CO: Sir, I’ve narrowed the transmission origin to a empty cargo bay.

XO_LtCmdr_Wolf says:
:: steps out of the TL::

 CO_Captain_Grey-feather says:
:: moves closer to Garrit :: Garrit : You reaction tells me you either know or you are naive.

 CO_Captain_Grey-feather says:
OPS: Which cargo bay ensign

 Garrit says:
OPS: Origin of what to an empty cargo bay and what cargo bay?

XO_LtCmdr_Wolf says:
::walks over to the CO:: CO: The Ferengi wishes to see you

OPS_Ens_Wharton says:
CO: Cargo Bay, six, sir.

 Garrit says:
CO: One of your Cargo bays Captain.

 CO_Captain_Grey-feather says:
OPS: Well done ensign

OPS_Ens_Wharton says:
:: Smiles:: CO: Thank you, sir.

 CO_Captain_Grey-feather says:
Garrit: One of yours.  Your station is signalling the pirates, Want to see the message?  It would infer a command level involvement

 Garrit says:
CO: As a matter of fact yes it would captain I can’t believe that someone on my station is working with the pirates.

XO_LtCmdr_Wolf says:
:: stands beside the CO and looks over Garrit::

 CO_Captain_Grey-feather says:
OPS: Show him the message

FCO_Cmdr_Lane says:
:: give Wolf a quick glance ::

OPS_Ens_Wharton says:
:: Brings up the deciphered message on her console:: Garrit: Here it is.

 Garrit says:
:: looks over the message:: CO: You are right it does look like someone is Woking with the pirates. I will have a full investigation started when I return.

XO_LtCmdr_Wolf says:
::turns and takes his seat::

 Garrit says:
CO: However Captain since I am here you said that you had one of the pirates prisoner I would like to see him.

 CO_Captain_Grey-feather says:
Garrit: You need to get your lips off the president's backside or your head out of your own.  What makes you think I trust you anymore now then when you materialized.

 CO_Captain_Grey-feather says:
Garrit: I don't know that you didn’t send that message, now you want to see the prisoner?  Very convenient.

XO_LtCmdr_Wolf says:
:: looks at Hope::

 Garrit says:
CO: Captain my dealing with the president are of a personal matter and none of yours or starfleets business. As far as trust I guess you will just have to go with your instincts.

 CO_Captain_Grey-feather says:
OPS: Active the security monitors in the cargo bay, the commander here can see our prisoner that way

 Garrit says:
CO: Captain I am not the one that just transported a Starfleet officer out of their office now am I.

OPS_Ens_Wharton says:
::Nods and activates the monitors and brings them up for view here::

XO_LtCmdr_Wolf says:
:: Looks at Garrit:: Garrit: I would watch my tone if I were your petak

FCO_Cmdr_Lane says:
:: snickers at Wolf's remark ::

 CO_Captain_Grey-feather says:
Garrit : No you are the one playing house with the president of a planet that cannot get a shipment of supplies in or out because of pirates...you the commander of a STARFLEET STATION.  You see my problem there scooter?

OPS_Ens_Wharton says:
::Blanches at the Klingon word::

XO_LtCmdr_Wolf says:
::smiles at the captain::

XO_LtCmdr_Wolf says:
CO: I don’t think he fully appreciates the situation

 Garrit says:
CO: My dealing with personal dealing with the president in no way hinders my command of the station Captain. The pirates that you were sent here to take care of do however so what have you done beside capture some Ferengi crew to rid us of this problem?

XO_LtCmdr_Wolf says:
Garrit: I think your problems are about to double

 Garrit says:
XO: I think I need to talk to Starfleet about the actions and insinuations made by this Captain and its crew.

 CO_Captain_Grey-feather says:
:: gets right in Garrits face :: Garrit: Far more than you have done, you have a station here and do nothing.  You wait for someone to save you.  Don't even know that you have a spy in your own crew.  Well here is a change for you; consider the knife the pirates have to your neck gone but my size 14 boot inserted in your backside.  You find that security leak, or I will tell the admiral that the station is compromised and lost.

XO_LtCmdr_Wolf says:
Garrit: And maybe we need to discuss a certain Station commanders inaction with SFC

XO_LtCmdr_Wolf says:
Garrit: I have a friend who is very adept at finding things people like to keep hidden

FCO_Cmdr_Lane says:
:: looks over at Mrlr, thinking she would be good at finding hidden things ::

 Garrit says:
CO: Fine tell the Admiral whatever you want everything I have done to try and get rid of these pirates is well documented. I can't be expected to do a lot with no support. And as far as you prisoner you will turn him over to me the moment you arrive understood.

Action; The Apache's shields drop and the station commander is transported off the ship.

Garrit is now known as Rich.

 CO_Captain_Grey-feather says:
Out loud : Damn.  CIV: Get our shields up

OPS_Ens_Wharton says:
::Frowns as she fights with her console:: Self: That was NOT me...

CIV_Cmdr_Mrlr says:
::already working on it::CO: Someone must have given them our transponder code.
