XO_LtCmdr_Wolf says:
@:: sits in command chair and rubs his tired eyes::

OPS_LtJg_Wharton says:
:: Sitting her console on the bridge trying to get a hold of the Admiral and Commander Dremmon::

FCO_Cmdr_Lane says:
:: back on the bridge checking on things :: CO: Captain, sickbay reports that the last of the injured have been seen to.

Action: The Apache get a return hail from Dremmon.

 CO_Captain_Grey-feather says:
:: stands and you can hear his back crack from sitting :: FCO: Understood Hope.

OPS_LtJg_Wharton says:
CO: Captain, I have Commander Dremmon on the line.

CIV_Cmdr_Mrlr says:
:: at the tactical station contacting engineering about the phasers:: *EO*: I don't really care if it has never been done before. If you think it will work then do it. Don't make me come down there. :: her tail lashes in irritation::

 CO_Captain_Grey-feather says:
OPS: On screen

OPS_LtJg_Wharton says:
:: Puts the Com on the widescreen:: CO: On Screen, sir.

XO_LtCmdr_Wolf says:
@:: picks his now cold coffee up and finishes it off::

 Cmdr_Dremmon says:
#COM: Apache: Dremmon here what can we do for you Captain?

FCO_Cmdr_Lane says:
:: sends the sickbay figures to the Captain's console ::

 CO_Captain_Grey-feather says:
COM: Dremmon:  Just bringing you up to speed commander.  Some of the pirates have become terrorists, they are threatening to destroy the planet if your prisoner is not released and they are not given free passage to the expanse.  They have already destroyed one city.

XO_LtCmdr_Wolf says:
@Dussie: hows the round up going?

 Cmdr_Dremmon says:
#COM: Apache: That would explain some of what happened just a few minutes ago then.

 CO_Captain_Grey-feather says:
COM: Dremmon: You have an attack as well?

CIV_Cmdr_Mrlr says:
::ears perk up at that::

 Cmdr_Dremmon says:
@Dussie says XO: Sir we have most of them however there are a few that we are not able to locate.

FCO_Cmdr_Lane says:
:: takes over from the flight officer and begins her routine system checks ::

OPS_LtJg_Wharton says:
:: Looks back down at her console and looks over the specs of the ship again, checking all power levels again::

 Cmdr_Dremmon says:
#COM: Apache: Yes Captain we succeeded in fending them off just before you called. One question, can you explain why they seem to have Starfleet remote codes?

XO_LtCmdr_Wolf says:
@Dussie: very well, keep up the effort

 CO_Captain_Grey-feather says:
COM: Dremmon: Because there were still sympathizers on the station.  We are searching for any that remain and are rounding up any family or friends of the rest.

 CO_Captain_Grey-feather says:
COM: Dremmon: They used remote codes against us to beam Garrit off the Apache at one time

 Cmdr_Dremmon says:
@Dussie says XO: Cmdr I have some more information you as well. I played a hunch and have I believe located all the explosive devices that the terrorist have placed. However they are just far edge of sensor range and I am not able to tell if they are booby trapped or not. Permission to take a team out and get a closer look ?

 Cmdr_Dremmon says:
#COM: Apache: Are you telling me that some of these terrorist are Starfleet personal?

FCO_Cmdr_Lane says:
:: makes a slight adjustment to their orbit ::

XO_LtCmdr_Wolf says:
@Dussie: Very permission is granted transmit the data to the apache

CIV_Cmdr_Mrlr says:
:: thinks sarcastically that if Dremmon was any sharper he would cut himself.::

 Cmdr_Dremmon says:
@Dussie says XO: Aye sir:: Transmits the data to the Apache and get his team ready::

 CO_Captain_Grey-feather says:
COM: Dremmon: Yes commander, they must have been hand picked to serve under Garritt.  He seems to have picked his staff, and seduced the President of this planet for information.  Quite an advanced network

 Cmdr_Dremmon says:
#:: has some what of a shocked look on his face:: COM: Apache: Roger Captain I will have the fleet change the remote command codes right away. Is there any thing else you need?

 CO_Captain_Grey-feather says:
COM: Dremmon: If you have an egg heads in geological that can figure how to bleed the hydrogen pockets off in this planet without cooking everyone including us tell them I am all ears.  They are detonating the hydrogen pockets with torpedo mechanisms; let me tell you it is very effective.  Out of 500 people I have almost 200 dead

 Cmdr_Dremmon says:
#COM: Apache: Afraid I don't captain. I will let Admiral Grisswold know about this latest development. We should be back at Starfleet headquarters in about 4 days. Dremmon out.

CO_Captain_Grey-feather says:
COM: Dremmon: Safe trip commander:: motions for the comm closed ::

OPS_LtJg_Wharton says:
:: Closes the com::

 Ens_Dussie says:
@:: sets in the shuttle waiting for the rest of the team to enter:: 

CIV_Cmdr_Mrlr says:
CO: We might be able to create outlet for the pockets on the other side of the towns...to bleed the gas away.

 CO_Captain_Grey-feather says:
CIV: I was thinking the same thing Mrlr, trouble is that gas is the main export on this planet.  We vent it, they have nothing to trade, and we tank their monetary structure with the push of a launch button

 Ens_Dussie says:
@*XO*: Sir we are ready to depart the station. I will be using sort of an ambling route so as not to alert any of the terrorist as to what we are doing.

XO_LtCmdr_Wolf says:
@*Dussie*: Very well son, good hunting you’re cleared out

 CO_Captain_Grey-feather says:
OPS: Get me the president on the line

CIV_Cmdr_Mrlr says:
CO: We could try establishing portable shield grids around the pockets.  They wouldn't sustain a sustained attack but they should hold until we get to the location to attack the pirates ourselves.

 Ens_Dussie says:
@*XO*: Aye sir I will keep an open com link with you.

OPS_LtJg_Wharton says:
:: Nods:: CO: Aye captain...:: Turns back and hails the president::

XO_LtCmdr_Wolf says:
@*Dussie*: understood, give em hell

FCO_Cmdr_Lane says:
:: looks over at Aeries and nods ::

 Pres_Debralle says:
$COM: Apache: Captain what do I owe the call to?

OPS_LtJg_Wharton says:
::Looks over at Hope and gives a slight smile::

 CO_Captain_Grey-feather says:
COM: We have provided medical to the victims of the town that was destroyed.  And we know how the terrorists are destroying towns, I am afraid you wont like the answer

 Pres_Debralle says:
$COM: Apache: Captain it seems like all I hear any more is bad news. So you might as well give it to me straight.

 CO_Captain_Grey-feather says:
COM: Debralle: They are detonating your hydrogen mines with photon torpedoes

XO_LtCmdr_Wolf says:
@:: opens his COM panel and taps in a text message to the Apache. Final retrieval operations underway::

 Pres_Debralle says:
$COM: Apache: Captain I am afraid your sensors are giving you false information. While the gases on this planet are like hydrogen and often read that way they are much heavier and much more volatile.

CO_Captain_Grey-feather says:
COM: Debralle: If that is the case how do you stabilize them for shipping?

OPS_LtJg_Wharton says:
:: Thinks to herself, "Even if our sensors are wrong....isn't that a mute point when your stuff is getting blown up?"::

 Pres_Debralle says:
$COM: Apache: We have to keep them under pressure and at a very low temperature. It keeps the gases some what stable to ship.

 CO_Captain_Grey-feather says:
COM: Debralle: We could use something to cause an endothermic reaction that could in theory drop the temp would that stabilize it?  I mean you would be out of production for a day or two, but the terrorist would be out of luck

 Pres_Debralle says:
$COM: Apache: What do you have in mind Captain?

 CO_Captain_Grey-feather says:
COM: Debralle:  Launching a probe containing binary agents, that once in the gas pocket would mix freezing the gases.  Like pouring liquid nitrogen on a flower, instant icecicle

 Pres_Debralle says:
$COM: Apache: And you say that this would not last more than a day?

OPS_LtJg_Wharton says:
::Sends a message over to Hope saying, "It's raining ice now...."::

 CO_Captain_Grey-feather says:
COM: Debralle: It shouldn’t.  If it works, the terrorists have no power over your planet

 Pres_Debralle says:
$COM: Apache: Would it be possible to send this agent down through our pump stations.

FCO_Cmdr_Lane says:
:: giggles and replies in text :: OPS: Just add a little spirits and we have cocktails for the entire system.

OPS_LtJg_Wharton says:
:: Couldn’t help but giggle and replies:: FCO: It never rains, but it pours.

XO_LtCmdr_Wolf says:
@:: leans back and puts his feet up::

 CO_Captain_Grey-feather says:
COM: Debralle: It should be possible, but you would need security at each site that is impeccable.  One terrorist in the mix and this will be the biggest hole in space anyone has ever seen.  Do you have that kind of security?

 Pres_Debralle says:
@Dussie says *XO*: Commander I have completed most of my scans and if we could stabilize the gases we could transport all of the devices out of the gas pockets.

XO_LtCmdr_Wolf says:
@*Dussie*: Excellent job. I’ll let the Apache know

 Pres_Debralle says:
$COM: Apache: No I don't but I do trust every one of the foreman’s at the site. If this would work I can have all the crews at the sites released with just the foreman’s there to work with your crew if possible?

XO_LtCmdr_Wolf says:
@:; opens a COM to the Apache::

 CO_Captain_Grey-feather says:
COM: Debralle: I will have to coordinate with my executive officer on the station.  But it might just work

 Pres_Debralle says:
$COM: Apache: Then I will await you call Captain. Debralle out.  :: closes the com::

OPS_LtJg_Wharton says:
:: Turns around:: CO: XO's trying to get a hold of us sir. :: Puts his com on screen::

XO_LtCmdr_Wolf says:
@COM: Apache: Captain my man has finished his scans

CO_Captain_Grey-feather says:
COM: Wolf: What did you find?

XO_LtCmdr_Wolf says:
@COM: CO: We’ve located the devices. if you can stabilise the pockets we can grab the torpedos

 CO_Captain_Grey-feather says:
COM: Wolf: This may be you lucky day old friend.  What if we used the pumping stations to put an endothermic chemical in the pockets?  Should turn then into nothing but ice cubes for a day or so

XO_LtCmdr_Wolf says:
@COM: CO: Things were bound to go our way eventually

 CO_Captain_Grey-feather says:
COM: Wolf: Don’t count your targ just yet, one mistake and there won’t be anything left of any of us.  So get your engineers working, it’s going to take a lot of replicator power to make enough of this compound.  Once we are ready, the president will clear the sites of everyone except the foreman.  It will be up to us
