<<<<<<<<<< RESUME MISSION >>>>>>>>>>
 
CO K’Beth
 ::sitting in the conference room looking around the table::

OPS Ko’Bil
 ::is sitting in conference room still some what hyper from the stimulant that he was given::

CNS Kostandinos
 ::sitting in the conference room, padd in hand - for what good it does her, seeing as how they didn't find anything but another fight for the CEO in their trip::

CTO Grey-Feather
 :: walks into the conference room :: CO: Lieutenant Grey-feather reporting ma'am
 
CO K’Beth
 CTO: Thank you Lt. Have a seat. ::stands up::
 
TO Kizlev
 ::looks up from where he's sitting in the conference room to see Joshua enter, then returns his gaze back to the table again, and sighs, his hands clasped together in front of him::

CTO Grey-Feather
 :: takes a seat near the door so he can watch the entire room ::

CMO Jakiel
 ::walks into the conference room and heads directly for a chair next to Kizlev, hoping to find out what his high emotions were about::
 
CO K’Beth
 All: Everyone has had a chance to explore your various sections and hopefully come up with some answers.

CO K’Beth
 All: First, let me inform you that some of the stolen goods were found on the planet.  So at least we have a starting point.
 
CO K’Beth
 ::looks around the table:: CNS: Counselor...what about your team?  What do you have to report about the area you were in?

CNS Kostandinos
 ::looks up, having been mentally drifting somewhat:: ALL:  The area we visited turned out to be a gambling establishment - similar to the promenade on Ke’Po Vor, for those who are familiar.

CNS Kostandinos
 ALL: The one interesting thing was that the workers would do just about anything to keep you in the establishment - until we were met with an "altercation" and had to make a quick exit.

CNS Kostandinos
 ::looks around to see if there are any questions, as she's said all she has to say about it::
 
TO Kizlev
 ::continues to gaze aimlessly at the table, a frown on his face, trying to put the last few hours together as coherently as possible when the inevitable questions about the mission come::

CSO Tarrez
 ::sits listening to all the reports::
 
CO K’Beth
 CNS: Commander, what did you gamble with?

CNS Kostandinos
 CO: We were given some complimentary credits to start with.

CMO Jakiel
 ::sits up straighter as she listens to Ashlynn.  Recalls a few of the faces of those she questioned and those who tried to move in on her.  Turns to briefly glance at Kizlev::
 
CO K’Beth
 CNS: They knew you had no credits of your own but they still tried to get you to stay?

CNS Kostandinos
 ::nods:: CO: Friendly folks they are... until you upset them, that is.

OPS Ko’Bil
 ::sits going over his PADD trying to remember everything that went on while he was on the planet::
 
CO K’Beth
 ::chuckles:: CNS: Thank you, Commander.

CTO Grey-Feather
 :: sits back and listens ::
 
CO K’Beth
 ::turns to the CMO:: CMO: Dr.  How about you?

CSO Tarrez
 ::thinks back to her teams experience on the planet::
 
TO Kizlev
 ::holds back a growl on the mention of "friendly folks" from the CNS, and just staying silent, and gazing::

CMO Jakiel
 ::stands, leaving the padd sitting on the table, places her hands behind her back::  All: Our room was "Substances", of the Abuse category.  The patrons and sellers were very tight lipped but finger free.  I am afraid they were useless for pertinent information.

OPS Ko’Bil
 ::smiles as he remembers the 2 lovely ladies that seemed to fawn all over him::

CO K’Beth
 All: If anyone has any comments or questions on what they hear from these reports, please...feel free to speak up.  We need answers more than we need protocol right now.
 
CO K’Beth
 ::nods:: CMO: Thank you Doctor.

CO K’Beth
 ::looks around again:: All: Did any of you find out anything pertinent?

CTO Grey-Feather
 Himself: That is because you look like a doctor not a customer.

CSO Tarrez
 CO: Well ma'am... ::hesitates::

CMO Jakiel
 ::nods respectfully back at the Captain and retakes her seat, still finding Kizlev a little more alluring than usual, so tries to keep her mind off of him::
 
TO Kizlev
 ::slowly looks up:: CO: I found something, captain. Or rather...it found me.
 
CO K’Beth
 CSO/TO:  First Commander Tarrez-Hunter's report then Lt Kizlev.

CMO Jakiel
 ::listens attentively, a bit anxious knowing what he is going to report about::

CSO Tarrez
 CO: Don't know how pertinent it is... but I found out that the Vidoli need three individuals to mate.

TO Kizlev
 ::turns his eyes to glance at the CMO and CNS, then back to K'Beth, then gazes back to the table again, probably feeling more apathy than he should at this time::

OPS Ko’Bil
 ::listen wondering if the CSO is going to report his condition while he was on the planet::

CMO Jakiel
 ::tries to suppress a smile at Commander Hunter's information, thinking two can be more than enough...::
 
CO K’Beth
 CSO: Give all that information to Dr Jakiel for our databank.  That may be important later on. Thank you.
 
CO K’Beth
 TO: Lt Kizlev?

CMO Jakiel
 ::looks directly at the CSO and nods::

CTO Grey-Feather
 Himself: 3 must have big beds for the Vidoli
 
CO K’Beth
 ::sits down and picks up her coffee cup and takes a sip while waiting for the TO's report::
 
TO Kizlev
 ::thinks about the beautiful 4 person Andorian marriages, wondering how...'lacking' 3 seems, but returns his focus back to the matter at hand:: CO: Yes? Oh...well, it should be known that I was held against my will for a short time. I was forced into a back room by two guardians, separated from my team

CO K’Beth
 ::leans forward and looks intently at him:: TO: Did they say why?
 
TO Kizlev
 CO: I was forced into restraints and questioned by an individual I could not see. He wanted to know why I was there.

CMO Jakiel
 ::shifts in her seat as she loses all previous amusement, remembering her two kidnappings unpleasantly::
 
TO Kizlev
 CO: I attempted to resist, and then I was injected...with something. Doctor Jakiel discovered the presence of Venus drug in my bloodstream after I was freed.

CTO Grey-Feather
 TO: What type of interrogation did they use physical or chemical

CSO Tarrez
 CO: When I finally located the Lt. and unlocked his room, he was alone and appeared to be somewhat disorientated.
 
CO K’Beth
 ::looks from the CSO to the TO:: CSO: Did you see anyone around the room?

CSO Tarrez
 CO: No I did not.

OPS Ko’Bil
 ::wonders is the drug was used on any of the people in the room where he was::
 
CO K’Beth
 TO: How long did they question you?  And what did they question you about?
 
TO Kizlev
 CO: It wasn't long. Perhaps...10 standard minutes. My interrogator mostly wanted to know why I was there. My attempts to dodge his questioning did not please him, and I was placed in restraints. Additionally, he knew my name, and apparently my background.

CSO Tarrez
 CO: One thing to note... when I was helping to get OPS back onto the ship, I noticed that nearly everyone was looking at me.  Some were looking at me with sadness and others with anger.

CMO Jakiel
 ::interjects::  CO/TO: It was exactly twelve minutes during which I sensed the Lieutenant...unusually perturbed.
 
CO K’Beth
 TO: And nothing else was done to you physically or mentally?

CTO Grey-Feather
 CSO: Maybe they have had trouble with the Romulans in the past commander

CSO Tarrez
 ::gives a nod to the CTO and accepts his response as a plausible reason::

CSO Tarrez
 CTO: Though that wouldn’t explain why such only accord after the detention of the Lt.
 
CO K’Beth
 CSO: I think that is a viable answer...::pauses and blinks:: Did you say you were helping OPS to get back to the ship?  Was he injured? ::looks over at OPS::

CMO Jakiel
 ::looks narrowly at the CTO and wonders if he could be correct and if that had anything to do with Kizlev's interrogation::

OPS Ko’Bil
 CO: Captain I had an adverse reaction to a drink on the planet.
 
TO Kizlev
 CO: Yes, as I mentioned, I was injected with a substance that I believe was supposed to make me cooperate. It seemed he wanted to gather tactical information from me concerning this sector. By the time anything could happen, I was freed and my host had disappeared. That was when Commander Tarrez arrived.

CSO Tarrez
 ::hesitates and is thankful for doing so as the OPS interjects::
 
TO Kizlev
 ::has about had enough with questions for this day, but keeps his frustrations in check, as duty dictates::

CMO Jakiel
 CSO/CTO: I did not seem to receive any more or any less 'looks' than my fellow officers.
 
CO K’Beth
 ::just gives OPS a look and then turns back to the table:: TO: I want a full report of everything you can remember, Lt.  Details...what species they were or you can speculate they were.  Accents?  Anything and everything you remember.  Then report to the CNS for the standard debrief check after an interrogation.

CTO Grey-Feather
 CMO: Guilt by association perhaps doctor
 
TO Kizlev
 ::nods, relieved this meeting seems almost over:: CO: Yes, captain.

CMO Jakiel
 ::feels a bit of anger flare at Grey-feather's comment...'guilt'::

CSO Tarrez
 ::feels the sudden spike emit from the CMO and turns to look at her::

CMO Jakiel
 ::is curious to know more about Commander Tarrez-Hunter's background and decides to check::
 
CO K’Beth
 CMO/CSO: It may also have been the different areas you were in also.

CMO Jakiel
 ::her emotional state is a bit ameliorated by the Captain's words::

OPS Ko’Bil
 ::sits fighting in his chair as the captain conducts the meeting::
 
CO K’Beth
 All: Okay people...we have had a lot of different experiences on that place.  But the main thing is that we know that at least some of the cargo is being pawned there.

CTO Grey-Feather
 All: And the hired muscle they have to protect it isn't the sharpest I ever seen but they are armed to the teeth

CSO Tarrez
 ::returns her eyes to the CO::

CO K’Beth
 All: I want everyone to write up what they have found out so far...including your speculations and opinions...no matter how far fetched.  Have that to me by the end of the day.
 
CO K’Beth
 All: In the meantime...we will head back to Ke'Po Vor
 
CO K’Beth
 All: Any questions?
 
TO Kizlev
 ::decides that one bad day isn't as bad as a string of bad days in a Dominion prison camp, and is ready to move on::

OPS Ko’Bil
 CO: Captain shall I try and access their computers and see if I can at least get a list of the ships that have docked here in the last month?

CTO Grey-Feather
 :: sits watching the others ::
 
CO K’Beth
 OPS: You can try, Lt.  That's a good idea.  Also make certain the cargo I gave to the duty OPS to pick up is safely secured in the cargo bay.

OPS Ko’Bil
 CO: Aye Captain.
 
CO K’Beth
 ::looks around the room again:: All: All right everyone.  Dismissed.

CMO Jakiel
 ::stands after they are dismissed, keeping her eyes on the CSO for a few seconds.  Says quietly::  TO: A word with you after I speak with the Captain...  ::turns to face the Captain, holding out her padd::  CO: Captain, my report.

OPS Ko’Bil
 ::gets up and walks quite swiftly for the door::

CSO Tarrez
 ::Stands and walks up to the CMO::  CMO: Doctor, may I discuss a matter with you in sickbay at your convenience?
 
CO K’Beth
 ::takes the PADD:: CMO: Thank you Doctor.
 
TO Kizlev
 ::looks up at Rhianna with indifference, then leaves with the others and waits outside::
 
CO K’Beth
 CMO: Dr...one last thing...

CSO Tarrez
 ::waits respectfully for the CO to finish::

CMO Jakiel
 ::nods once to the science officer then looks back at the Captain::  CO:  Yes Commander?

OPS Ko’Bil
 ::enters the bridge and goes to his console relieving NoDuz after making sure that he had secured the captains cargo in cargo bay 2::
 
CO K’Beth
 CMO: Commander?  Are you forgetting yourself, Lt?

CMO Jakiel
 ::blinks, suddenly realizing what she just said::  CO:  Forgive me, Captain.  ::inhales and hopes it will just slip by::  CO:  You needed to inform me of something else?

OPS Ko’Bil
 ::starts to try and tap into the planets computers::
 
CO K’Beth
 ::looks at her intently. In a tight voice:: CMO: Report to my ready room as soon as we are done here...we'll discuss it there.

OPS Ko’Bil
 ::sees that he is making some progress and try to route the link to the docking reports::

CSO Tarrez
 ::raises an eyebrow at the CO's tone and wonders what she missed::

CMO Jakiel
 ::nods and takes a step back away from the Captain, glancing at the door anxiously, knowing Kizlev is just outside of it::  CSO: I will communicate with you when I have the next free time.

CTO Grey-Feather
 :: as the CMO passes by:: CMO: Say lieutenant could you say hi to your aunt Ariel and uncle K`Vas next time you talk to your family :: grins ::

CSO Tarrez
 ::nods::  CMO: Understood... just realize it is somewhat important to my mental well-being.

CMO Jakiel
 ::regards the CTO with a raised eyebrow, knowing her appearance is very similar to her aunt::  CTO:  I will.
 
TO Kizlev
 ::leans against the wall just outside the conference room door, his arms folded, and glancing around the bridge, about ready to head over to the TIC::

CTO Grey-Feather
 CMO: Thank you very much.  :: smiles and gets up to leave ::
 
CO K’Beth
 ::leaves the conference room and heads out onto the bridge::
     
ACTION: The main viewscreen comes to life.  There is a figure of a woman dressed in light, flowing scarves.  She is silent but is holding a hand out in front of her, waving her finger back and forth.

CTO Grey-Feather
 :: returns to tactical on the bridge ::
 
CO K’Beth
 ::looks up at the screen:: OPS: What is that?

CMO Jakiel
 CSO: I will remember.  ::hits her commbadge:: *TO*: Lieutenant...I will be...momentarily detained.  I can find you in a few minutes?
     
ACTION: All the consoles on the bridge go dead, and the figure of the woman simply continues to wave her finger at the crew.
 
TO Kizlev
 ::steps away from the door to look at the screen, his eyes narrowing::

CTO Grey-Feather
 :: tries to bypass and get tactical on line :: CO: Captain tactical is dead in the water

CSO Tarrez
 ::nods to the CMO and makes her leave of the conference room::
 
TO Kizlev
 *CMO*: Yes...of course. I'm on the bridge witnessing something rather unusual.
 
CO K’Beth
 ::limps down to her chair quickly:: CTO: Can we get shields?

OPS Ko’Bil
 ::sees the screen and tries to find a way around the firewall:: CO: Captain It seem I have found some kind of firewall in the planets computers.

CSO Tarrez
 ::moves to the turbolift and orders it to the bridge::

CMO Jakiel
 ::steps out of the room behind the Captain a discreet distance and looks at Kizlev, then the viewscreen, hoping the Captain will be deflected from speaking to her::

CTO Grey-Feather
 CO: Negative ma'am.  We could be taken out by a Klingon with a slingshot...ah no offense
 
TO Kizlev
 CO: Captain, perhaps we should try to...hail her. ::step up close and to the left of the screen::

OPS Ko’Bil
 ::tries to shut down the link::
 
CO K’Beth
 OPS: Break off your attempt, Lt.  If we aggravate the denisens around here we are badly out numbered.

CSO Tarrez
 ::arrives onto the bridge and takes her station::

OPS Ko’Bil
 CO: I am trying to Captain.

CTO Grey-Feather
 OPS: Just pull the main board under your console, kill that link

CMO Jakiel
 ::'concentrates' on the figure of the woman::

OPS Ko’Bil
 ::Pulls the link that the CTO suggested::
 
CO K’Beth
 CSO: Do we have sensors at all?
     
ACTION: Nothing happens as OPS pulls the board, except he gets a mild burn

CSO Tarrez
 CO: No ma'am.  No computer functions at all.

CMO Jakiel
 ::decides it must be an automated hologram since she 'finds' nothing but 'silence'::
 
CO K’Beth
 All: I want a reboot to the auxiliary computer systems.  No external links or contacts will be opened.  And then isolate our main core from the system until it can be checked.
 
TO Kizlev
 ::sees the OPS is having trouble and goes over to his console to help:: OPS: Let's try to realign the isolinear pathways first, then override.
     
ACTION: It takes the Arondight crew the next three hours to restore ship control and remove the anti-hacking virus from their computers.
