Prologue: The Apache has been assigned the task of bringing the former Starfleet officers turned terrorists, back to Starfleet Headquarters for court Martials.  The only problem is that there is a lot of space and some very angry pirates between where they currently are and where they have to go. What faith lies in their near future?

FCO_Cmdr_Lane says:
:: finishes having her flight crews prepare a couple of runabouts for possible intercept of pirates and has them on standby to launch at a moment's notice :: CO: Sir, I have the runabouts ready for launch.

XO_Ltcmdr_Wolf says:
CO: Security teams in place. Marines are ready to repel boarders

 CO_Captain_Grey-feather says:
FCO: Very good Hope.
  OPS: Are we ready for prisoner transfer ::nods in acknowledgment to the XO::

OPS_LtJg_Wharton_ says:
::Sitting at her station, she turns and nods:: CO: Yes, sir. Standing by.

FCO_Cmdr_Lane says:
:: makes sure the Apache  is within transporter range :: CO: In transporter range sir.

FCO_Cmdr_Lane says:
:: smiles at Aeris :: OPS: They're all yours now. Don't lose any. :: giggles ::

 CO_Captain_Grey-feather says:
OPS: Contact the station and begin prisoner transfer

XO_Ltcmdr_Wolf says:
CO: Force fields in place. Visual surveillance is also set up to monitor our guests

 CO_Captain_Grey-feather says:
CIV: You ready to keep an eye and ear or two on our guests?

 CO_Captain_Grey-feather says:
XO/OPS: Then let’s pick up the trash and get it hauled to the dump

CIV_Cmdr_Mrlr says:
:: looks up from her computer:: CO: Aye, everything is in place.  Plus, I'm picking up something on the edge of LRS. Trying to identify now

XO_Ltcmdr_Wolf says:
CO: Aye skipper

XO_Ltcmdr_Wolf says:
OPS: Signal that we are ready for prisoner transfer and energize when ready

CO_Captain_Grey-feather says:
CIV: We are supposed to have a support ship in bound.

OPS_LtJg_Wharton says:
:: Energizes the transfer ::

CIV_Cmdr_Mrlr says:
CO: if this is our support ship, it is acting peculiar.  It keeps slipping just in and out of range.  As we get closer I'll be able to tell more.

 CO_Captain_Grey-feather says:
CIV: You are just full of good news today.  :: smirks ::

FCO_Cmdr_Lane says:
:: looks over at Mrlr and smiles ::

 CO_Captain_Grey-feather says:
OPS: Expedite lieutenant, I want them on board and our shields up

CIV_Cmdr_Mrlr says:
CO: Why thank you...and to add to that good news...you need to have a talk with your oldest son.  He has decided that his mission in life is to torment his sister. ::smiles sweetly at the CO and then gives the FCO a little chuckle::

XO_Ltcmdr_Wolf says:
OPS: Confirm we have them all accounted for Lieutenant

OPS_LtJg_Wharton says:
:: Nods and quickly checks:: XO: Aye, all are accounted for.

 CO_Captain_Grey-feather says:
CIV: And how is that different from last week?

FCO_Cmdr_Lane says:
:: shakes her head and goes back to her duties ::

Action: All the prisoners transfer to the cargo bay with no problems.

XO_Ltcmdr_Wolf says:
OPS: Very well. Take us to Yellow alert
 CO_Captain_Grey-feather says:
CIV: I will tell him to behave or he has to take the dirty diapers to the recycler for the next week :: grins ::
 
Action: The Apache is being hailed by the escort ship.

OPS_LtJg_Wharton says:
:: Takes the ship to Yellow Alert ::

CIV_Cmdr_Mrlr says:
CO: That's appropriate as this week the tormenting has taken the form of placing his younger brothers' dirty diapers in her bed.

XO_Ltcmdr_Wolf says:
:: notifies the Sec Detachment and marines::

OPS_LtJg_Wharton says:
CO: Sir, we're being hailed by the escort ship.

 CO_Captain_Grey-feather says:
OPS: On screen

OPS_LtJg_Wharton says:
:: Puts the call on screen::

XO_Ltcmdr_Wolf says:
:: wrinkles his nose at the thought of diaper duty::

 Captain_Drival says:
@COM: Apache: Captain I am Captain Drival just checking in to see when you will be ready to proceed?

 CO_Captain_Grey-feather says:
COM: Drival: We just finished prisoner transfer and have secured them for the ride.  We are ready to proceed at any time.  We are also showing a sensor contact on the extreme edge of our LRS, might be trouble on the horizon

 Captain_Drival says:
@COM: Apache: I have picked it up as well can't identify it yet but also figured it might be trouble.

 CO_Captain_Grey-feather says:
COM: Drival: Captain you comfortable with burning your fuel supply faster that usual.  I want to try and maintain warp 7 for as much of this trip as we can.

 Captain_Drival says:
@COM: Apache: I have no problem with that the faster we get these traitors to Starfleet the better.

 CO_Captain_Grey-feather says:
COM: Drival : Agreed you have coordinates so lets get started.

 Captain_Drival says:
@COM: Apache: Roger lead on. Drival out. :: closes the COM::

CO_Captain_Grey-feather says:
FCO: You heard the man Hope.  Warp 7 once we clear the planetary markers

FCO_Cmdr_Lane says:
CO: Aye Captain, warp 7.

 CO_Captain_Grey-feather says:
XO: Wolf, if it belongs with us protect it...if it doesn't the blow it out of my sky

FCO_Cmdr_Lane says:
:: holds the ship on course at impulse as they approach the markers ::

XO_Ltcmdr_Wolf says:
CO: Understood Captain ::brings weapons to standby and loads the tubes::

XO_Ltcmdr_Wolf says:
CO: Weapons standing by all tubes loaded and hot

 CO_Captain_Grey-feather says:
OPS: Radio silence from this ship, all outgoing comms is to be command level or higher.

FCO_Cmdr_Lane says:
CO: We've reached the markers. Taking us to warp 7. :: taps the warp controls ::

Action: Both ships jump to warp 7 smoothly.

OPS_LtJg_Wharton says:
::Nods and restricts all coms to command level or higher::

CIV_Cmdr_Mrlr says:
CO: Hmmm...That ship was in range just long enough for me to determine that it is a cardassian ship,

 CO_Captain_Grey-feather says:
CIV: And I am sure they are here for humanitarian reasons.  :: grins mischievously :: Mark that contact so it can be auto targeted if it comes into range

XO_Ltcmdr_Wolf says:
Civ: Cardies? Could be trouble

XO_Ltcmdr_Wolf says:
CO: Oh yes I’m sure there here to deliver toys to war orphans

CIV_Cmdr_Mrlr says:
XO: Just a little bit of entertainment to break up the monotony. ::grins::

XO_Ltcmdr_Wolf says:
::grins evilly at the Civ::

Rich says:
Sec_Jarvis says *XO*: Sir we are getting complaints from the prisoner that they are not be treated humanly.
XO_Ltcmdr_Wolf says:
*Jarvis*: Understood. Inform them my reply is tough
CIV_Cmdr_Mrlr says:
Out loud: If they have air to breathe, they are treated as good as they deserve

XO_Ltcmdr_Wolf says:
*Jarvis*: Inform them they are being decently fed and if i had my way they’d be decently shot

 CO_Captain_Grey-feather says:
CIV: We are giving them air?  I didn't order that:: tries to hide a smile ::

FCO_Cmdr_Lane says:
:: tries to muffle a laugh at the Captain's comment ::

 Rich says:
Sec_Jarvis says *XO*: Sir they say that they haven't been given a meal in over 12 hours and if they don't get something to eat soon they are going to file a complaint with Starfleet.

XO_Ltcmdr_Wolf says:
*Jarvis*: Throw them some field rations and if they don’t shut up I’ll turn the fire suppression system on them

CIV_Cmdr_Mrlr says:
CO: ::With a straight face:: The gasping and screaming when I cut off the oxygen was getting on my nerves.

XO_Ltcmdr_Wolf says:
Self: dammn traitors

 Rich says:
Sec_Jarvis says *XO*: Sir we will have to lower the force field to do that.

CIV_Cmdr_Mrlr says:
XO: Transport it in.

CO_Captain_Grey-feather says:
CIV: Getting soft in your old age Mrlr

CIV_Cmdr_Mrlr says:
XO: We can lower just a small section to do that

XO_Ltcmdr_Wolf says:
*Jarvis*: Have the marines stand over watch as you toss the box in. They are authorised to use deadly force if anyone tries anything

 CO_Captain_Grey-feather says:
XO: Could just pump in water through the vents till the room is full

XO_Ltcmdr_Wolf says:
Civ: make it so commander

XO_Ltcmdr_Wolf says:
CO: drown them like the rats they are

CIV_Cmdr_Mrlr says:
CO: ::sighs with regret:: I know...it's the curse of motherhood.

 Rich says:
Sec_Jarvis says *XO*: Roger sir informing the guards now.

 CO_Captain_Grey-feather says:
CIV: Make sure it is the field ration flavours that nobody likes

CIV_Cmdr_Mrlr says:
::grins:: CO: I'll give them some of the Klingon favourites.

XO_Ltcmdr_Wolf says:
:: chuckles:: Civ: give them the Ferengi variety

 CO_Captain_Grey-feather says:
CIV: Ah yes the ever popular Gagh bar or cream of rok egg soup

 CO_Captain_Grey-feather says:
XO: Pakled is good enough

Action: There is Phaser fire on the deck where the prisoners are.

XO_Ltcmdr_Wolf says:
*Jarvis*: report

CIV_Cmdr_Mrlr says:
CO: there's phaser fire from the deck where the prisoner's are.  I'll head down there and see what is happening.

CIV_Cmdr_Mrlr says:
:: starts towards the turbo lift::

XO_Ltcmdr_Wolf says:
Civ: take a body guard for company

 CO_Captain_Grey-feather says:
XO: Make sure all key areas of the ship are secure from engineering down

XO_Ltcmdr_Wolf says:
CO: Aye sir. Taking us to red alert and securing critical areas

 Rich says:
Sec_Jarvis says *XO*: Sir the prisoner`s have escaped the cargo bay. We have them sealed in the corridor outside the cargo bay and we lost a couple of people. 

XO_Ltcmdr_Wolf says:
:: initiates the red alert and ups the threat level for security and the marines::

CIV_Cmdr_Mrlr says:
XO: He'll just get in my way and I don't want to have to protect him. :: chuckles as she steps into the turbo lift:: 'a bodyguard' ::orders the turbo lift to the prisoner's deck::

XO_Ltcmdr_Wolf says:
*Jarvis*: Wonderful. And who would that particular individual be?

 CO_Captain_Grey-feather says:
XO: Flood that are with Anethazine gas, its nap time

XO_Ltcmdr_Wolf says:
CO: Understood

XO_Ltcmdr_Wolf says:
aOPS: Do it

XO_Ltcmdr_Wolf says:
aOPS Dumbo says XO: Aye sir ::releases the gas::

Action: The gas releases and the prisoner slowly fall to sleep.

FCO_Cmdr_Lane says:
:: sends a message to the shuttle bay to secure it just in case ::

 Rich says:
Sec_Jarvis says *XO*: Sir the prisoners are now asleep and we are cleaning up now.

XO_Ltcmdr_Wolf says:
CO: Permission to shackle and hood the prisoner’s captain

 CO_Captain_Grey-feather says:
XO: Shackles yes, hoods no.  I want to see if they are talking amongst themselves

XO_Ltcmdr_Wolf says:
*Jarvis*: Understood. Shackle them and separate them. No one talks.

 Rich says:
Sec_Jarvis says *XO*: With pleasure sir. Also all of our personal are alive just a few injuries is all.

XO_Ltcmdr_Wolf says:
*Jarvis*: Good man.

 CO_Captain_Grey-feather says:
XO: This happens again and your security man will be guarding from inside the cargo bay.

XO_Ltcmdr_Wolf says:
CO: Happens again and they will be guarding tuber worms out of Ferenginar

 Rich says:
Sec_Jarvis says *XO*: Understood Sir once she returns to duty I will inform her.

CO_Captain_Grey-feather says:
XO: Well if they are trying to get out already, they are scared about getting back to Starfleet

XO_Ltcmdr_Wolf says:
CO: That ship is popping in and out of sensor range

 CO_Captain_Grey-feather says:
XO: Keep and eye on it.  But at that range there is little we can do and I am not sending our support ship on wild goose chase

XO_Ltcmdr_Wolf says:
CO: Understood
