Host McCullogh says:
Star Trek: Apache – Episode #2
Week #7
Mission: "The Spectre Wraith"

Host McCullogh says:
The USS Apache's repairs had been completed and the crew was recalled from shoreleave. However there was a report that their departure has been delayed. On further investigation in this matter, it was reported that the USS Apache had a security breech.

Host McCullogh says:
Furthermore, it was reported that there was a presence of a Changeling onboard the Apache. Soon after the discovery of the Changeling, it was captured, and is currently being held in the Apache's brig.

Host McCullogh says:
The possibility of the disappearance of First Officer, Lt. Commander Valrek, is also under current investigation. No solid evidence has been submitted to verify the fact that he has disappeared, despite the fact that he had not returned to the Apache or responded to communications.

TO_Evans says:
CO: Sir our new EO Ens Vin Tekaro.

FCO_Trnbl says:
CO:  Sir, may I remind you that SF Regulations state that the CO is to remain on the ship and the XO is to lead away teams?  The ship needs a Command officer, sir.

CTO_Lu says:
TO: We are going down get the team ready!

FCO_Trnbl says:

XO_Valrek says:
@Doc: Please do.

Liam says:

Host McCullogh says:

The purpose of all this, Commander, is to prevent an interstellar conflict that will decimate your federation, and place my Romulan Empire as the sole major power in the Alpha Quadrant.

XO_Valrek says:

XO_Valrek says:
@Doc: I am listening. However, I don't quite understand. You say that I was brought here so that a disaster was to be prevented? But how does bringing me here do that?

SO_Cheyenne says:

CO: Transponders ready ma'am, as requested.

Host McCullogh says:
@::glares at him deeply:: XO: By letting you see just how awful it gets.  Tonight, Captain Alexander Valrek murders his wife, and his two children, because he just can't stand to go on knowing he was solely responsible for a conflict that killed millions.  Nine years ago, you would never have been able to do that.  Now ...

CTO_Lu says:

@XO: We have picked this day because after tonight, that real you ... the Valrek of this time line will have killed himself.  So supposedly this is rock bottom for him.  The best time to show you how his life turned out without the Apache.

XO_Valrek says:
@Doc: I am still listening. But you have yet to tell me anything I need to hear.  What is it I need to do to prevent their deaths?

SO_Cheyenne says:
CO:  Hmmm.... looks like they might have an interest in the facility.

TO_Evans says:
CTO: Well sir we're ready.

FCO_Trnbl says:
CTO:  Are we ready?

FCO_Trnbl says:
CTO:  Let's go.

CTO_Lu says:
FCO: Let’s go find us an XO.

EO_Vin says:
::Starts diagnostic, and starts to whistle::

Host McCullogh says:
@::looks at him:: XO: What you need to do ..... it's really VERY simple .... You were one of the best Executive Officers nine years ago.  One of the best ever, maybe.  I ask you to NOT be the best, to miss one thing.

FCO_Trnbl says:
CTO:  Aye.  ::takes his place on the TR pad::

CTO_Lu says:
::walks on to the TR pad::

OPS_Edge says:
CO: Should we hail them or let them continue to think we can't see them?

XO_Valrek says:
@Doc: One thing you say. What might that be?

TO_Evans says:
::walks on to the transporter pad::

Lisa says:
@::slips on clothes that were hanging behind the door and returns to out side the kitchen door::

CTO_Lu says:
Transporter Chief: Energize!

CO_Tyler says:
OPS:  Let's continue to monitor them, and let them think we don't see them.

FCO_Trnbl says:
::dematerializes from Apache::

XO_Valrek says:
@::sets his glass down and listens::

CTO_Lu says:
::dematerializes::

Host McCullogh says:
@XO: Our historical analysis has shown us that it was the Executive Officer's console that first picked up a spatial anomaly off the Apache's port bow.  The Apache eventually realized this was a Romulan Warbird cloaked.  Commander Torak commands the Warbird.  He is widely known as the Butcher of Bugara IV.

FCO_Trnbl says:
#::rematerializes in the square on the planet::

TO_Evans says:
::dematerializes::

Host McCullogh says:
ACTION: Away Team beams to the surface of W'Lendan Prime

OPS_Edge says:
CO: Aye Ma'am ...  Maybe we should talk to that changeling now?

CTO_Lu says:
#::materializes by the FCO::

TO_Evans says:
#::Materializes on planet::

Host McCullogh says:
@::XO: When he realized the Apache had spotted him ... on what was simply an intelligence gathering mission ... he followed proper protocol.  And destroyed the Apache.

FCO_Trnbl says:
#::snaps open tricorder and begins scanning for commander Valrek's bio-signature::

Lisa says:
@:;runs her fingers through her hair.. Feeling better already.. She hopes McCullogh can help Alex.. She wants her husband back::

XO_Valrek says:
@::now surprised:: Doc: If I am here, how can I overlook that detail?

TO_Evans says:
#CTO: Where do we begin sir?

CO_Tyler says:
OPS:  Agreed.  SO: Keep me posted on the movements of that cloaked ship.

Host McCullogh says:
@ XO: Realizing that the repair Facility was a witness to this act, he destroyed it as well .... He then went on to completely decimate the planet, it's atmosphere, and it's surface.  It is something of a historical irony that he died a week later of food poisoning.

SO_Cheyenne says:
CO:  Aye ma'am

CO_Tyler says:
::walks to the TL:: OPS: You have the bridge    TL: Brig

CTO_Lu says:
#::Scratches his head:: TO: Thinking..

FCO_Trnbl says:
#CTO:  May I suggest we retrace the last movements of the XO before his disappearance?

SO_Cheyenne says:
::keeps eye on the scans as well as on the AT... definitely major headache later::

OPS_Edge says:
SO: She doesn't waste any time does she?

XO_Valrek says:
@Doc: Yes, very ironic, and irrelevant

Lisa says:
@::strains to hear,., but unless she walks into the room she can only make out little bits of words.. She is frustrated and tired.. And now wants McCullogh gone::

CTO_Lu says:
#Alpha Squad split into two's and search south east while the FCO, Evans and I trace the XO's last moments.

Host McCullogh says:
@XO: When word of the destruction of W'Lendan Prime reached the Federation Council, it was mere hours before the Federation declared war on the Romulan Empire.  What followed was the bloodiest and most brutal massacre the quadrant has ever seen.  Now, nine years later, Earth remains as the sole Federation Planet.

CTO_Lu says:
#FCO: Good idea Lt.

TO_Evans says:
#:: keeps a sharp look out:: CTO: was he with any one?

EO_Vin says:
::works on increasing engine efficiency::

FCO_Trnbl says:
#CTO/TO: The last place anyone seems to have seen XO is at the concert hall.  I suggest we start there.  ::begins to walk toward it::

XO_Valrek says:
@::rubs his chin still waiting for the answer::

Host McCullogh says:
@XO: And it is home to the Federation Resistance forces.  Only a few thousand strong, it took us years to work out a plan to get an agent in place on the Apache, kidnap you, and prevent what has cost every life form so dearly.

CTO_Lu says:
#Evans: I have no idea where and with whom he was with.

CTO_Lu says:
#Follows the FCO::

SO_Cheyenne says:
::shakes her head:: OPS:  You say something?  I don't suppose you have anything for a headache?  ::looks hopeful::

FCO_Trnbl says:
#::continues to walk::  CTO/TO:  I last saw him with a female heading off out an exit...

XO_Valrek says:
@Doc: I see now. So, when does this take place for me?

CTO_Lu says:
::sets his phaser rifle to heavy stun and heads for the concert house::

EO_Vin says:
*CO*: I know you’re busy sir, but...

CO_Tyler says:
::exits the TL and walks toward Lewis' cell, nodding to the security team::  Lewis: I have a few questions for you

FCO_Trnbl says:
#::scans area for Valrek's DNA with science tricorder::

TO_Evans says:
#FCO:  Have ship sensors picked anything up?

CO_Tyler says:
*EO* What is it Ens?

Host McCullogh says:
@::leans back a great weight off his shoulders:: XO: You are currently on board the Warbird Hope.  When the time is right, we will beam you back to your ship.  It will be your job to keep the crew busy and make sure they do not notice the Warbird passing through this system.  You only have to wait a single day before it will be out of range.

CTO_Lu says:
#::looks at some startled bystanders::

Lisa says:
@::rubs at her temples.. As soon as McCullogh is gone it will be different.. She will make sure of it.. Maybe go away,.. Get away form all of this::

OPS_Edge says:
SO: Is it that bad... aside from the CO I happen to be ranking officer with a medical degree want me to find you something

CTO_Lu says:
#FCO: Getting anything?

Lewis says:
::looks up at the Captain:: CO: I bet you do ....

FCO_Trnbl says:
#CTO:  Scanning...

SO_Cheyenne says:
::starts to nod then stops:: OPS:  Please....

XO_Valrek says:
@Doc: And what would prevent me from having the Apache follow this Butcher until it was clear of the system?

EO_Vin says:
CO: I increased the engine efficiency to 98.4 % sir.

CO_Tyler says:
::watches him closely:: Lewis:  First, why are you here?

Host McCullogh says:
@XO: If you follow him, he WILL destroy the Apache.  And the time line will continue as I have described.  There is no avoiding it.  ::smiles tiredly:: This is not our first time doing this.

CO_Tyler says:
*EO* Acknowledged

OPS_Edge says:
:: goes to the medical kit on the bridge and opens it looking for the right hypo ::

FCO_Trnbl says:
#CTO/TO: Faint traces of XO's DNA...they lead this way ... ::walks slowly in a direction::

XO_Valrek says:
@Doc: So you play time cops and try to prevent this. What proof do I have that you are telling me the truth?

CTO_Lu says:
#:: raises walks slowly covering the FCO::

CTO_Lu says:
#::Raises his weapon::

OPS_Edge says:
Self: Lets see here.. :: pulls out general pain killer and prepares a very small dose about 5 cc’s ::

TO_Evans says:
#:: watches the area for anything unusual::

CO_Tyler says:
*OPS* Any word from the away team?

Lisa says:
@:;she does not notice how her heart is pounding as the blood ruches in her ears trying to understand some of what she has heard and trying to piece together what she did not::

FCO_Trnbl says:
#::follows the trail until it disappears...and reads transporter signatures::

Host McCullogh says:
@XO: All I ask is that you miss a simple sensor reading ... the proof is when the sensor reading appears on your console. There is too much at stake here.  You can either do as I say, or I will kill you and take your place.  It was our agent on boards job to do just that if you failed to cooperate.
