Prologue: The Apache is still at Phil Mirginis sorting out the mess left behind from the Station commander's involvement with the pirates. Which it has been found out that the entire senior staff of the station was involved as well. With the shipping companies climbing on the XO back at the station to allow them to start sending out cargos and some of the senior staff from the station making terrorist demands on the planets's president it seems that the crew will have their hand full for  a while. Lets just hope the whole planet doesn't blow up in their face first.

FCO_Cmdr_Lane says:
:: steps back onto the bridge and looks around as most of the senior staff are missing ::

XO_LtCmdr_Wolf says:
@::sits watching his staff at there stations::

 CO_Captain_Grey-feather says:
:: on the bridge, sees the FCO enter :: FCO: Getting a little light on personnel around here
FCO_Cmdr_Lane says:
:: nods :: CO: Aye sir. Did your talk with the President go well?

XO_LtCmdr_Wolf says:
@All: Well people I believe it’s time to rock and roll

CO_Captain_Grey-feather says:
FCO: Some of the defectors from the station are making terrorist threats against her.   I told her to consider the planet under martial law so that they had to deal with us and some of the danger would be taken from her

XO_LtCmdr_Wolf says:
@::takes his seat::

FCO_Cmdr_Lane says:
:: moves to her station and relieves the officer there ::

 Ens_Dussard says:
@*XO*: Sir The inspection team has completed their inspection of the Andorian freighter and have stationed guard out side the hatches to make sure nothing else is brought in.

FCO_Cmdr_Lane says:
CO: I hope it works sir.

XO_LtCmdr_Wolf says:
@*Dussard*: Very well. Make your way back here and send them on there way

 Ens_Dussard says:
@*XO*: Aye sir on our way. :: informs the Andorian captain that he is cleared to leave::

 CO_Captain_Grey-feather says:
FCO: So do I hope.  If the populace hates me for the terrorists I can sleep at night, but if her planet hates her things will be bad and fast

Action: The Apache is being hailed from the planet.

FCO_Cmdr_Lane says:
CO: Incoming message from the planet sir.

CO_Captain_Grey-feather says:
FCO: On screen

FCO_Cmdr_Lane says:
:: taps the controls :: CO: On screen Captain.

XO_LtCmdr_Wolf says:
@::faces the TO:: TO: takes us to red alert, lets get this over and done with

XO_LtCmdr_Wolf says:
@TO Says XO: Aye sir ::initiates the station wide alert::

 Lt_Stoddard says:
#COM: Apache: Captain I under stand you have taken over the negations of our demands?

 Lt_Stoddard says:
@Dussie says XO: Aye Sir taking the station to red alert.

 CO_Captain_Grey-feather says:
COM: That is right.  If the planet's government cannot keep the pirates out, then I will.  So this planet is under martial law

 Lt_Stoddard says:
#COM: Apache: Very well captain then I would like to know how far you have gotten in regards to our demands?
FCO_Cmdr_Lane says:
:: tries not to make eye contact with the face on the screen and keeps to herself ::

CO_Captain_Grey-feather says:
COM: Well since this is our first dialog, what are your demands?  I must know that they were not the ramblings of an emotional female

FCO_Cmdr_Lane says:
:: almost bursts out laughing at the Captain's comment ::

XO_LtCmdr_Wolf says:
@:: waits for the results of the scan of the gap::

 Lt_Stoddard says:
#COM: Apache: Very well Captain if you want to play that game here they are. First the release of Command Garritt, second we want a runabout to be place in a location to be stated later, and last but not least we want to be given free passage off this planet. If those demands aren't met in 72 hours we will make this planet nothing but a hunk of burnt rock.

 Lt_Stoddard says:
@Dussie says XO: All scans so far show clear.

XO_LtCmdr_Wolf says:
@Dussie: Very well

 Lt_Stoddard says:
@COM: Apache: And Captain just to show you that we mean business watch you sensors. :: closes the COM::

FCO_Cmdr_Lane says:
:: turns slightly as she cuts the channel off :: CO: They sound desperate sir, but would they really die for Garrit and free passage?

Action: Sensors pick up an explosion on the far side of the planet.

 CO_Captain_Grey-feather says:
:: moves to tactical :: FCO: They don't sound like the voice of reason.  ::starts scanning with sensors ::
:: console beeps :: FCO: Damn I am detecting a explosion on the far side of the planet.  Take us into high orbit and move for better scanning

XO_LtCmdr_Wolf says:
@:: notices the detonation on sensors::
@Dussie: what the hell was that?

FCO_Cmdr_Lane says:
CO: Understood Captain. Moving us to a higher orbit. Scanning the new vector.  : taps the console::

 Rich says:
@<Dussie> XO: Sir there was an explosion on the far side of the planet. I am still going over the readings from the sensor pods but it looks like at least a small city is involved

XO_LtCmdr_Wolf says:
@:: slams his fist down:: Self: cowards
FCO_Cmdr_Lane says:
CO: We should be in a better position now sir.

 CO_Captain_Grey-feather says:
:: cusses in Romulan as he sees the source of the explosion :: FCO: Those bastards just destroyed a city
Computer: Full sensor scan of detonation point on the planet.  Chemical, metallurgical, energy,    geological, everything.  I want to know what was used to cause that explosion

 Rich says:
Computer says CO: Working on it results in 10 minutes.

 CO_Captain_Grey-feather says:
FCO: Hope get me a channel to Wolf on the station

XO_LtCmdr_Wolf says:
@Dussie: Does this floating rust bucket have any weapons?

FCO_Cmdr_Lane says:
CO: Captain, I've been reviewing that communication signal from Stoddard, and though I can't pinpoint the exact location because of the way they routed it, it seems to be somewhere near where the shuttle crashed. That's just an estimate of course.

FCO_Cmdr_Lane says:
CO: Aye sir.

FCO_Cmdr_Lane says:
COM: Station: Apache to Commander Wolf.

 CO_Captain_Grey-feather says:
FCO: And the shuttle crashed under the hole in the planets sensor net.  Gets better and better

 Rich says:
@Dussie says XO: Aye Sir but just for defence and they are not that great. I have been able to make some modification on them and we should be able to hold our own for a while.

XO_LtCmdr_Wolf says:
@Dussie: very well that’ll have to do. Place them in standby in case we need them
@COM: Apache: Go ahead Apache

FCO_Cmdr_Lane says:
CO: Commander Wolf on sir.

 CO_Captain_Grey-feather says:
COM: Wolf did you detect that explosion?

XO_LtCmdr_Wolf says:
COM: Apache: Aye skipper we did

 Rich says:
Computer says CO; Captain I have the readout on the explosion on the planet. It seems that there was a torpedo like explosive detonated in the hydrogen pocket just at the edge of the city.

 Rich says:
@Dussie says XO: Aye sir:: places the weapons on standby::

FCO_Cmdr_Lane says:
:: gets a report from sickbay :: CO: Sir, I'm not sure how they know, but sickbay reports medical teams ready for away mission on your order?

 CO_Captain_Grey-feather says:
:: looks at the computers response :: COM: It looks like they used a torpedo to exploded a hydrogen pocket.  And Hope seems to think the transmission came from where you had to put that shuttle down
FCO: What mission I ordered, have them clarify

FCO_Cmdr_Lane says:
:: nods and contacts sickbay ::

 Rich says:
@Dussie says XO: Sir according to our information that city had a population of 487 civilians. It seems that the city was part of the hydrogen extraction in that area. Most of the people were the employees and their familles.

 CO_Captain_Grey-feather says:
COM: I need you to do two things.  Start tracking down all known associates of the terrorists, mothers...girlfriends I don’t care any lead at all.  And use the stations equipment to scan for other hydrogen or volatile gas pockets in the planets surface

XO_LtCmdr_Wolf says:
COM: Apache: Understood captain. I set my security teams to it immediately. Once I have them what are your orders

FCO_Cmdr_Lane says:
:: smiles :: CO: Seems the ship grapevine arrived there before anyone had the full story.

Action: The Apache is being hailed from the planet's president’s office.

 CO_Captain_Grey-feather says:
FCO: Have them standby, but we need to access the safety first.  Scan for survivors

FCO_Cmdr_Lane says:
CO: Aye sir, incoming hail from President Debralle.

 CO_Captain_Grey-feather says:
COM: XO: Round them up.  They are not likely to destroy anything if they think we have their loved ones.  We have a planet to protect; I am willing to make a couple hundred people mad

XO_LtCmdr_Wolf says:
COM: Apache: understood captain, I’ll get right on it

 CO_Captain_Grey-feather says:
COM: Wolf monitor this I have the president calling on the other line
FCO: Put her through Hope

XO_LtCmdr_Wolf says:
COM: Apache: Aye sir :;stands by::
FCO_Cmdr_Lane says:
:: contacts sickbay and has the teams on standby :: CO: President Debralle sir. :: brings up the viewer 
::

 Pres_Debralle says:
#COM: Apache: Captain I hope that the reports that I am getting are not true?

XO_LtCmdr_Wolf says:
@:: turns to Dussie:: Dussie: You overheard?

 CO_Captain_Grey-feather says:
COM: Madam President they are true.  The terrorists flexed their muscles which they would have done any way.  But we have data on how they did it and perhaps where from they are sending orders

 Pres_Debralle says:
@Dussie says XO: Yes sir I will get working on knowing associates. And as far as the volatile gases on the planet well sir nearly the whole planet is covered with pockets of them it is the planets main export.

XO_LtCmdr_Wolf says:
@Dussie: I suppose it would have been asking to much for things to be easy. Very well you have your orders

 Pres_Debralle says:
#COM: Apache: Captain is there any thing you can do for the people of that city. Reports are still rough but from what I am showing there are massive dead and wounded.

 CO_Captain_Grey-feather says:
COM: Debralle: We are scanning for wounded and will transport them to triage in one of our cargo holds.

FCO_Cmdr_Lane says:
CO: We have located survivors.

 Pres_Debralle says:
@COM: Apache: Roger Captain I also have a team on their way to the location. They should be there in about 5 minutes. I will have them get a hold of your personnel and work with them.

 CO_Captain_Grey-feather says:
COM: Debralle: Very well madam president.

 CO_Captain_Grey-feather says:
FCO: Contact sickbay and have them begin transport and triage

 CO_Captain_Grey-feather says:
:: sends command to security to have details posted at the triage area and the sickbay ::

FCO_Cmdr_Lane says:
CO: Reports show that survivors have serious injuries. I'll let sickbay know
.
 Pres_Debralle says:
#COM: Apache: Captain let’s hope that you can stop this before anyone else gets hurt. Debralle out.

CO_Captain_Grey-feather says:
COM: Wolf you get all that?

XO_LtCmdr_Wolf says:
@COM: Apache: Yes skipper got it all

FCO_Cmdr_Lane says:
*Sickbay*: This is the bridge. Have your teams assemble in cargo bay one, full triage teams. Have the transporter chief transport the injured from the surface when you are ready. Bridge out.

 CO_Captain_Grey-feather says:
COM: Get me some leverage; I want the next move to be ours.  Keep me posted old friend

FCO_Cmdr_Lane says:
*Bridge*: Sickbay acknowledges.

Rich says:
@<Dussie> XO: Sir just an update from the explosion site. It seems that all the buildings in the city have been damaged to some extent most of them beyond repair.

XO_LtCmdr_Wolf says:
@:: lowers his eye’s:: Dussie: understood, update the Apache

 Rich says:
@Dussie says XO: Aye Sir :: sends the information to the Apache::

 CO_Captain_Grey-feather says:
FCO: Hope have one of the shuttles prepped for launch.  Keep an eye out for unfriendlies or to shuttle anyone that is too badly wounded for transporter evacuation

FCO_Cmdr_Lane says:
CO: Aye Captain.
