Host Bafii says:
Prologue:  The USS Arondight has just dropped out of warp 5 minutes from docking with Starbase 457.  The crew waits to see what these strange orders are all about.
Host Bafii says:
<<<< RESUME MISSION "Ying and Yang">>>>
CO_Loran says:
OPS:  Contact the Starbase and request docking procedures.
CSO_Taliza says:
::continues research from Sci 1::
XO_McDuggle says:
::on bridge waiting to get to the Starbase::
OPS_K`maq says:
::nods to the CO:: CO: Aye Sir
CTO_Williams says:
::Sits at the tactical station, looking at the new "Runabout's R Us" catalog.  The new one with Quantum torpedoes and the leather seats are really nice.::
CEO_Syren says:
::walking out of his quarters with a small bag on his shoulder:: Self: It's a little sad when all your life can fit into one bag
OPS_K`maq says:
COM: Starbase 457: This is the USS Arondight requesting permission to dock.
FCO_Chottu says:
::at flight, getting ready to dock with the station soon::
XO_McDuggle says:
CO: Captain did you have any luck find out what is up with the transfers?
Host Bafii says:
@ <SB OPS> COM: OPS: Permission granted at docking port A2
CO_Loran says:
XO:  No, I had no luck whatsoever.  I'm hoping to find out from the Starbase.
OPS_K`maq says:
::relays the information to the FCO::
XO_McDuggle says:
CO: I hope some one has some answers the mission orders left a lot unexplained.
CEO_Syren says:
::wanders into engineering for a last look at his domain, wishing he didn't have to leave::
OPS_K`maq says:
::look surprised:: CO: There is a comm. for you, its private, should I put it through to your ready room sir?

CSO_Taliza says:
XO/CO: Sirs, it seems I can't find anything regarding our role in this "field trip."
CO_Loran says:
OPS:  Who is it from?
CO_Loran says:
FCO:  Take us into dock.
OPS_K`maq says:
::quickly checks the transmission::
OPS_K`maq says:
CO: The captain of Starbase 457.
XO_McDuggle says:
CSO: Nothing on the Tkon Empire?
CTO_Williams says:
::Flips the page of the catalog....:: Self: Whew... now available in black... that’s a nice one.  Customized Plasma Conduits... nice also.
FCO_Chottu says:
CO: Aye sir. ::following given information, docks the Arondight::
CEO_Syren says:
<Macxa> CEO: Goodbye sir. It was a ple...interesting serving with you
OPS_K`maq says:
::watches the CO waiting for a response::
CO_Loran says:
OPS:  I'll take it in my RR.  XO:  Follow me, but, stay out of site.
CSO_Taliza says:
XO: Nothing so far as to why we are needed to chaperone those students.
CO_Loran says:
::walks to his RR::
OPS_K`maq says:
::nods:: CO: Aye sir. ::puts the comm. through to the ready room for the CO to pick up there::
XO_McDuggle says:
CO: Aye Sir. ::follows the captain::
CEO_Syren says:
::smiles at her choices of words:: Macxa: Well it was a pleasure serving with you. I leave Arondight in your hands...until they appoint someone else
OPS_K`maq says:
::notices they have docked already and turns to the FCO:: FCO: Nice flying.
CTO_Williams says:
::Looks at the next page.:: Self: Chrome plated plasma exhaust pipes.  Nice.
CO_Loran says:
::walks behind his desk, pointing the monitor towards him and away from the door, sits down in his chair and pushes the accept button::
Host Bafii says:
ACTION: A man in a red Starfleet uniform is on the other end of the comm., there are four pips on his collar.  
FCO_Chottu says:
::tilts his head, thinking he just put the ship next to the thing and then pushed them together:: OPS: Well.. Thank you.
CSO_Taliza says:
::Hears CTO read the catalog specs:: CTO: You mean they still use chrome on space-faring vehicles?
XO_McDuggle says:
::sits across the desk from the captain out of site of the screen::
CEO_Syren says:
<Macxa> CEO: We are here  ::hesitates then grabs him in a tight hug
CO_Loran says:
COMM: SCO:  What can I do for you, Captain?

CTO_Williams says:
::Turns to the CSO:: CSO: Oh, its not actually chrome... its an alloy of some kind that looks like chrome.  It's for people that like the nostalgic look to their ships.
Host SCO_Tbuodon says:
@ COM: CO: Captain, please call me Neil.  I don't believe we've had the pleasure of meeting before.
CSO_Taliza says:
CTO: Still, I can't see a '57 Chevy flying around the cosmos.
CTO_Williams says:
::Turns the next page:: Self: Fully customizable and stylized phaser and/or disruptor arrays.
CTO_Williams says:
CSO: What’s a Chevy? ::Turns back to his panel::
CO_Loran says:
COM: SCO: Of course, Capt....Neil.  What is this all about?
CEO_Syren says:
::struggles to breathe in the Caitian's clutches. She finally releases him and he mumbles a goodbye before walking off into the sunset...or the reflected light from the warp core::
CSO_Taliza says:
CTO: Chevrolet, a land-faring automobile from the 20th century.
Host SCO_Tbuodon says:
@COM: CO: I've got some information for you.  You may have been wondering why you've been given babysitting duty.
CO_Loran says:
COM:  SCO:  That and the unusual orders for my XO, CEO and CNS to be reassigned to your station.
CTO_Williams says:
CSO: Ah... an automobile. I read about those once.  Yeah, something like that I guess.
CSO_Taliza says:
CTO: They were loaded with chrome in the 1950s.
FCO_Chottu says:
::uneasy now there's nothing to do at flight::
Host SCO_Tbuodon says:
@ COM: CO: Ya, I thought that was odd too, but I've checked with command, and they are legitimate transfers.  Anyways... you might not have heard, but the Gorn are causing some problems along the borders.
CTO_Williams says:
CSO: Ah that’s good... I guess.  ::Turns back to his catalog again::
CSO_Taliza says:
CTO: Not really.  Those cars were real fuel hogs back then.
Host SCO_Tbuodon says:
@ COM: CO: They've made a few sorties across the border with some new warship they've developed.
CTO_Williams says:
CSO: Beats me.  I'll take your word on it.  I though you were a science officer!  Not a Historian Officer!
CSO_Taliza says:
CTO: Remember my hobby?
CTO_Williams says:
CSO:  And what’s a Bajoran doing reciting earth history to me?  No offense of course.
Host SCO_Tbuodon says:
@COM: CO: So, for the time being, all civilian ships are being granted armed escorts.
Host SCO_Tbuodon says:
@COM: CO: No one expects any trouble, Captain, but better safe than sorry.
CSO_Taliza says:
CTO: "Those who do not learn from history are doomed to repeat it."

CO_Loran says:
COM: SCO:  But, wouldn't a more scientific armed escort be more appropriate?  We are strictly a combat vessel.
XO_McDuggle says:
::sits quietly listening to the COM::
CTO_Williams says:
CSO: Beats me.  Earth history?
Host SCO_Tbuodon says:
@COM: CO: You got the job Captain... many of our ships have been pulled to the front lines.
CTO_Williams says:
CSO: Well... I know some, but different history I guess.
Host Bafii says:
ACTION: OPS is getting a comm. from Commander Kiange
CO_Loran says:
COMM: SCO:  Ok, enough about the mission.  I want to know more about these transfers.
CSO_Taliza says:
CTO: Of course, I focused my hobby on the 20th century.
Host SCO_Tbuodon says:
@COM: CO: I have no more information on those than you do.  Your crewmembers will be reporting directly to Commander Kiange, he's Starfleet’s Personnel director for this sector.
CO_Loran says:
COM: SCO:  Then, I guess I should take it up with him.  By the way, what are their assignments?
OPS_K`maq says:
::looks around the bridge and is not sure who is in charge now so announces to everyone:: All: There is a comm. from a commander Kiange, who would like to take it?
CSO_Taliza says:
::looks around:: OPS: I'll take it for now.
OPS_K`maq says:
::puts the comm. on screen for the CSO:: 
Host SCO_Tbuodon says:
@COM: CO: I wouldn't know that Captain.  However, Dr. Williams and the Kelbreth are ready to depart.  They've only been waiting for your arrival.
CSO_Taliza says:
COMM: Kiange: This is Lt. Cmdr. Taliza.  How can we help you?
Host SCO_Tbuodon says:
@ <Cmdr Kiange> COM: CSO: Commander, I am waiting for my officers.  Please have them beamed over at once.  Kiange out.  
CO_Loran says:
COM: CO:  Well, they will have to wait until I get some answers.  I'm not giving up 3 valuable members of my crew without explanation or replacements.
Host Bafii says:
ACTION: The comm. on the bridge goes black
CSO_Taliza says:
Self: How rude.
OPS_K`maq says:
::watches the commanders face disappear:: CSO: He doesn't waste words does he?
CSO_Taliza says:
*CO*: Sir, sorry to interrupt, but a Cmdr. Kiange was calling for his officers.
Host SCO_Tbuodon says:
@COM: CO: Captain, those are your orders... and mine are to make sure the Kelbreth gets underway.  You have 10 minutes.
CO_Loran says:
COM: SCO:  Yes, I understand, but, in my eyes right now, those orders are not legal until I know what is behind them.  They did not request transfer and I did not want them gone.  And, I've not gotten replacements for them, so, to me, they aren't legal until I find out what is going on here.
XO_McDuggle says:
::smiles as he listens to the captain make his move::
Host SCO_Tbuodon says:
@ COM: CO: Your prerogative, but if that ship isn't out of here in 6 minutes, I'll have to make my report.  Tbuodon out.
 CO_Loran says:
COM: SCO:  Arondight out.  ::closes comm.::
CO_Loran says:
::stands up and goes back to the bridge motioning to the XO to follow him::
XO_McDuggle says:
::gets up and follows the captain::
CO_Loran says:
OPS:  Patch me through to this Commander that just called here.
FCO_Chottu says:
::taps fingers on the edge of the console, without purpose slightly nervous, looks back as the XO and CO enter::
CO_Loran says:
FCO:  Prepare for departure in 5 minutes.
CEO_Syren says:
::turns up on the bridge just as the fireworks are about to start::
OPS_K`maq says:
::turns as she had not noticed the CO return to the bridge:: CO: Aye sir ::secures a channel to the Commander::
CO_Loran says:
XO:  Have yourself and the other 2 officers ready for departure.
CSO_Taliza says:
CO/XO: So, what is happening, sir?
FCO_Chottu says:
CO: Ready as soon as the crew transfer is complete sir.
XO_McDuggle says:
*CEO*: Lt stand by in transporter room 1.
Host Kiange says:
ACTION: Kiange appears on the screen again.
Host Kiange says:
@ COM: CO: Yes?
CO_Loran says:
COM: Kiange:  Commander, what is the reasoning for 3 valuable officers of my ship being transferred?
CEO_Syren says:
*XO* Aye sir  ::doesn't move from his position at the back of the bridge::
Host Kiange says:
@ COM: CO: We all have our orders Captain, and these came from headquarters.  I haven't been given specifics, but my guess is that Command is putting together a new command crew... but that hasn't come down yet.  In any case, we have our orders Captain.
CO_Loran says:
COM: CO:  So, HQ is sending this ship into a very highly possible combat situation without its CEO and XO and without replacements for them?
Dr_Williams says:
#COM: ARONDIGHT: What’s the Delay?
FCO_Chottu says:
::looks back at the CEO:: CEO: Who's in charge of engineering for the time being?
Host Kiange says:
@ COM: CO: I don't pretend to know the mind of command.  I just follow orders.  I'll expect to see those officers soon.  Kiange out.
CEO_Syren says:
::glares at Chottu, still angry because of what he did to Macxa:: FCO: Macxa is in charge. Does it matter? 
XO_McDuggle says:
::turns seeing the CEO for the first time:: CEO: Sorry I thought you were still in ME.
Dr_Williams says:
#COM: ARONDIGHT: This is the SS Kelbreth, what’s your Delay?
CEO_Syren says:
::smiles:: XO: Sorry sir, I just wanted to keep a low profile
CO_Loran says:
COM: CO:  I do not like these orders and I'm here by putting in an official knowledge that I disapprove of these reassignment orders.
FCO_Chottu says:
CEO: No problem, sir. Just curious who to talk to if needed. ::turns around then bites his lip::
Host Kiange says:
@::chuckles and shakes his head as he closes the channel::
CO_Loran says:
XO:  Have your team report the transporter room, but, leave your stuff here.  You wont be gone long, I assure you.
CEO_Syren says:
::cast a sideward glance at Chottu but say nothing more::
XO_McDuggle says:
CO: Looks like you still don't have any answers.
OPS_K`maq says:
::turns to the CO:: CO: We have a comm. from Dr Williams from the Kelbreth. they are anxious to depart.
Dr_Williams says:
#COM: ARONDIGHT: This is Dr. Williams. Please respond.
XO_McDuggle says:
CO: Aye Sir we will just take what we need for a few days.
CEO_Syren says:
::rolls his eyes at Kmaq's last statement:: Self: Like the ruins are going to run off...scientists
XO_McDuggle says:
CEO: Lt your with me. :: heads for the TL::
OPS_K`maq says:
CO: They are quite anxious to talk ::puts the Dr on screen::
CSO_Taliza says:
::hears CEO's comments:: CEO: Excuse me?
CEO_Syren says:
XO: Yes sir ::follows quickly ignoring the CSO::
CTO_Williams says:
::Taps the console, and turns the catalog off for now.  He'll make a purchase later, if he can get it all together.  CTO's prerogative::
CO_Loran says:
::looks angry::  COM:  Dr:  Yes, what is it?
XO_McDuggle says:
TL: transporter room 1.
Dr_Williams says:
#COM: ARONDIGHT: We have a max of Warp four and a long way to go. I want to get moving now if you don't mind.
XO_McDuggle says:
::arrives in transporter room 1 and picks up a small bag he left there before and steps on the pad::
Dr_Williams says:
#COM: ARONDIGHT: Please Respond. ::orders a channel to be open::
CEO_Syren says:
::takes up a position to the XO's left:: Self: Goodbye ship
XO_McDuggle says:
TL Chief: energize.

Dr_Williams says:
#COM: ARONDIGHT: CO: Lets get moving please.
CO_Loran says:
COM: Dr:  I understand doctor.  My ship has a max of Warp 9.9, so, if you -have- to get started, we can catch up in a matter of minutes.  But, right now, I've got, in my opinion, some unauthorized transfers to deal with.
Host Bafii says:
ACTION: The three Arondight officers dematerialize and reappear on the Station.  Cmdr Kiange is waiting for them.
Dr_Williams says:
#COM: ARONDIGHT: CO: I do not care, you have your orders. Lets go.
OPS_K`maq says:
::has never heard of a situation where the scientists have ever been important enough to order the CO's around::
CO_Loran says:
COM: Dr:  Oh, and Doctor, I'm in charge of this mission since it has been deemed a possible combat situation at this outpost area.
XO_McDuggle says:
@::materializes on the Starbase:: Kiange: Cmdr. McDuggle and Officers reporting as ordered.
CEO_Syren says:
@::looks up to see Kiange waiting for them and he's just a little less than pleased::
Dr_Williams says:
#COM: CO: Well protect us. I have students on board.
Host Bafii says:
@ <Kiange>  All: Follow me.  ::walks out of the room and down the hall::
CO_Loran says:
::motions for OPS to close channel::
FCO_Chottu says:
::sinks back in his chair::
CSO_Taliza says:
CO: Sir, combat zone?
Dr_Williams says:
#::orders the channel reopened::
OPS_K`maq says:
::closes the channel as instructed::
CO_Loran says:
FCO:  When the officers are on the station, set in a course for this Tkon outpost.
XO_McDuggle says:
@::follows the Cmdr down the hall::
OPS_K`maq says:
CO: Dr Williams would like to reopen a channel, shall I put her through again sir?
CEO_Syren says:
@::glances at the XO then follows him lead. This wasn't going to be a pleasant stay:: 
CO_Loran says:
OPS: No.
Host Bafii says:
@ <Kiange>  ::takes a series of twists and turns deep into the station::
FCO_Chottu says:
CO: The officers are already on the station and well, the course is plotted and we're ready to go sir, just need to notify our class we're set to go.
OPS_K`maq says:
::declines the Dr's attempt to open a comm. with Arondight again::
CEO_Syren says:
@ ::gives up on trying to remember the route::
Dr_Williams says:
#::orders his ship to get in formation with the Arondight::

XO_McDuggle says:
@::follows the commander trying hard to keep up with all the twist and turns::
CO_Loran says:
FCO:  Lay in Warp 4 speed and engage once the good doctor's ship has responded they are ready for warp.
Host Bafii says:
@ <Kiange>  ::enters a small room with the officers in tow.  There are three chairs in the room and a wall mounted console::  All: Have a seat.
FCO_Chottu says:
CO: Aye sir.
Dr_Williams says:
#::sends a message saying they are ready for warp::
XO_McDuggle says:
@:: moves over to the seats and sits down wondering what all the cloak and dagger stuff is about::
CEO_Syren says:
@ ::takes an end seat and glances around the room. It looks harmless enough::
OPS_K`maq says:
CO/FCO: Dr William's ship is ready to get under way.
FCO_Chottu says:
::tilts head at the quick responds, shrugs and sets the Arondight on her way:: CO: We're on our way sir.
CO_Loran says:
All:  Ok, now that little theatrical is over, I can talk to everyone else.
CO_Loran says:
All:  Yes, Taliza, you will be acting XO until things are fixed.
CSO_Taliza says:
CO: Aye sir.  ::calls Goode to take over Sci 1 and goes to the XO's seat::
Host Bafii says:
@ <Kiange>  All: My name is Captain Hastings... as of right now you will have no contact with anyone outside of this room.  In three days time your ship will be told that all of you were killed when a runabout exploded en route to the USS Togoda
Host Hastings says:
@ All: Welcome to Starfleet Intelligence.
CEO_Syren says:
@ ::giggles in spite of the seriousness of the matter::
CO_Loran says:
ALL:  As for the combat situation I've mentioned, I've just gotten word that the Gorn are starting something and this Tkon outpost just happens to be in the area they are starting something in.
XO_McDuggle says:
@Hasting: Starfleet intelligence? Just what is going on Captain?
CSO_Taliza says:
CO: So we're to make sure the Gorn don't do anything to those kids.
CEO_Syren says:
@ ::wonders why the XO is even humoring the man:: ALL: Let's be serious for a minute here. I'm an engineer not a spy
CO_Loran says:
CSO:  We haven't been in a real combat situation in a while.  I want you to get with Lt. Williams and start running combat simulations.
CSO_Taliza says:
::looks back to the CTO::
FCO_Chottu says:
CO: This being a pretty routine flight at least for a while, mind if I head down to engineering for a bit to make sure things don't go bad there without the CEO?
CO_Loran says:
FCO:  Yes, we all are going to have to pull some double duty with the XO and CEO gone.
Host Bafii says:
