Host CO_K`Beth says:
Summary: The Arondight is docked at their home station KePoVor getting ready to depart on their patrol around the sector.

Host CO_K`Beth says:
<<<<<<<<<<<<<<Begin mission>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>

OPS_Ko`Bil says:
::makes the last minutes check on the inventory that has been loaded::

Host CO_K`Beth says:
::on the bridge, in her chair, reading through reports::

CSO_Axin says:
::sitting in his office beside stellar cartography, going over the staff assignments for their next departure::

CTO_Grey-feather says:
:: coming out of the turbolift from doing a manual torpedo inventory, heads for his console ::

Host CO_K`Beth says:
OPS: ETA until all personnel are on board and we can depart?

CNS_LtCmdr_Jakiel says:
::pushes her chair back and stands after completing some reports and heads out with the idea of going to the bridge::

OPS_Ko`Bil says:
CO: 25 Minutes Ma'am.

CTO_Grey-feather says:
:: begins final system check on all defensive and offensive system ::

Host CO_K`Beth says:
::nods:: OPS: Inform station OPS of our departure time.

OPS_Ko`Bil says:
CO: Roger Captain. :: contacts the station operation and gives them the need information::

CSO_Axin says:
::trying to find additional reasons to avoid heading to the bridge, and is finding them in the form of unnecessary checks and examinations of details that, whilst not wrong, are unnecessary and beyond requirements::

Host CO_K`Beth says:
ACTION: Klaxons go off.  Red lights start to flash and the computer chimes throughout the ship.

Host CO_K`Beth says:
<Computer> All: Intruder alert!  Intruder alert!

OPS_Ko`Bil says:
::checks the sensors to see where the intruder is located::

CTO_Grey-feather says:
:: starts checking sensors :: CO: Captain I have an intruder alert

CSO_Axin says:
::is startled at the alert, and looks up from his desktop console, wide eyed and slightly pale::

Host CO_K`Beth says:
::looks up:: CTO: I heard. How in the hell can we have an intruder alert when we are still docked?

Host CO_K`Beth says:
All: Check and see if this is another glitch.

Host CO_K`Beth says:
CTO: See who set the alarm off.

OPS_Ko`Bil says:
::Checks the Transported logs to see if the intruder came in that way::

CTO_Grey-feather says:
CO: How is now the question I want to know captain its who :: taps his console :: working on it now captain

OPS_Ko`Bil says:
CO: Captain. I have nothing on the transporter logs indicating that they got in that way.

CSO_Axin says:
::exits his office, heading for the nearest turbolift, hoping nobody who shouldn't be is between him and it::

Host CO_K`Beth says:
<engineer> ::static crackling:: *Bridge*: Bridge...help!  They're all over the place! ::sounds of phaser fire can be heard and screams in the background::

CSO_Axin says:
::enters the TL:: TL: Deck one, bridge ::swallows hard, wondering what the cause of the alarm is::

CTO_Grey-feather says:
CO: Permission to leave the bridge :: grabs rifle ::

OPS_Ko`Bil says:
CTO: you have a security team ready I can transport in to ME

Host CO_K`Beth says:
::nods:: CTO: Permission granted.

CNS_LtCmdr_Jakiel says:
:: walks onto the bridge to the sound of intruder alert::  CO:  Is this a drill or have we been invaded?

Host CO_K`Beth says:
::sits up:: OPS: Seal the ship.  No one goes in or out until we find out what is going on.

CSO_Axin says:
::exits the turbolift and steps onto the bridge, sweating very slightly, but expecting the command centre of the vessel to be the safest place to be::

Host CO_K`Beth says:
::grimly:: CNS: I wish it were a drill.  We've got weapons fire in engineering.

OPS_Ko`Bil says:
CO: That has already been done Captain.

CTO_Grey-feather says:
:: heads into the turbolift rifle in hand :: Computer: Engineering...emergency override Grey-feather 7956

Host CO_K`Beth says:
::looks around:: CSO: Ensign...run an internal scan and see what is going on.

CNS_LtCmdr_Jakiel says:
CO:  Not engineering again!

OPS_Ko`Bil says:
::Contacts the Station and informs them of the intruders on the ship::

CSO_Axin says:
::nods, slightly uncertainly, as he steps up the bridge from the lower turbolift alcove, and to the science station:: CO: Yes ma'am...

Host CO_K`Beth says:
CNS: It would be the most logical place to attack.  Although what they think they can do while we are still docked is beyond me.

CSO_Axin says:
::stands over the science console, and runs his fingers over the panel, ordering the internal sweeps of engineering::

OPS_Ko`Bil says:
::sets up some force fields around engineering to keep the intruders confined to engineering::

CNS_LtCmdr_Jakiel says:
::tries to 'speak' to Scott, but he does not respond::  CO:  Captain, Scott must be unconscious.  I can't even 'talk' to him.  I'm calling medical... ::taps her commbadge::

CTO_Grey-feather says:
:: exits the turbolift and make entry into engineering.  finding 4 engineers down he quickly sweeps the area for intruders.  Once secured:: *Sickbay/CO*: Captain I have 4 engineers down, one seriously injured.  I need a med team...no sign of intruders

OPS_Ko`Bil says:
CO: Captain, I have force fields set up to keep them in engineering.

CSO_Axin says:
CO: Expanding internal sweeps to all of deck fourteen

Host CO_K`Beth says:
*CTO*: The CNS is calling for them now.  Find out who was there and what they.....

Host CO_K`Beth says:
ACTION: Suddenly 4 beings covered in black cloth bearing phaser rifles appear on the bridge.  The first one takes out the sec guy stationed.  The others spread out and gesture threateningly  to anyone who moves.

CNS_LtCmdr_Jakiel says:
::holds her ground and 'searches' their minds, trying to figure out whom these intruders are::

OPS_Ko`Bil says:
::watches the intruders waiting for an opening::

CSO_Axin says:
::freezes stock still, leaning over his console, at the sight of the four:: CO: ::mutters quietly, barely moving his mouth:: Captain... found them...

Host CO_K`Beth says:
::stands up:: Intruder: Who the hell are you and what are you doing on my ship?

CTO_Grey-feather says:
:: hears the interrupted comm and phaser fire, has one of the yeoman stand with the injured outside of engineering.  Has all able bodied engineers and the security detail enter ME and secures the blast doors :: *CO*: Status captain

OPS_Ko`Bil says:
::quietly presses some buttons and brings up force fields around the Bridge while locking out all the consoles::

CNS_LtCmdr_Jakiel says:
::feels very nervous and takes a couple steps back as she senses absolutely nothing from the intruders::

Host CO_K`Beth says:
INFO: A light goes on the OPS console and suddenly all force fields and emergency bulkheads lose all power.

Host CO_K`Beth says:
<Intruder 1> All: Just play nice-nice and no one gets hurt.

CSO_Axin says:
::still doesn't dare really move at all besides breathing, heart beating, and his eyes darting around the bridge taking in the scene::

OPS_Ko`Bil says:
::sees the light indicating a problem in ME::

Host CO_K`Beth says:
ACTION: One of the intruders nods towards the CO and the other one nods back. A deep chuckle comes from the second intruder he raises his phaser rifle and shoots the CO, throwing her backwards against the bulkhead to lie in a heap.

OPS_Ko`Bil says:
::whispers to the Captain:: CO: Captain we have a problem in ME and we have no power.

CTO_Grey-feather says:
:: trying to get engineering locked down Joshua notices that the main power grid is down :: All in engineering: Main power is down we need it restored, all security personnel secure engineering

CSO_Axin says:
::is coming to realize that ensuring his safety by moving from science to the bridge was clearly a mistake::

OPS_Ko`Bil says:
::sees what happened to the Captain:: All: Everyone down. :: bring up his phaser and fires at one of the intruders::

Host CO_K`Beth says:
ACTION: the OPS just missed one of the intruders as they run over to where the CO lies and one bends down and throws her over his shoulder while another speaks quietly into a handheld comm unit.

CSO_Axin says:
self: Not again... ::allows his legs to do what they want to - collapse - and tries to cower behind his console. Unsuccessfully, given their nasty design feature of not being solid all the way to the floor::

OPS_Ko`Bil says:
::Takes aim and fires again::

Host CO_K`Beth says:
<Intruder 1> :All: We've got what we came for...we'll be in touch.  ::all of the intruders disappear in a shimmering transporter like beam that no one has ever seen before.::

CTO_Grey-feather says:
:: holds position on one of the cat-walks his rifle ready  while engineers try to get power so a message can be sent ::

Host CO_K`Beth says:
ACTION: OPS' phaser fire seems to score a solid hit on one of the intruders before they dematerialized.

CSO_Axin says:
::sees the bottom of the intruders legs disappear in a transporter pattern he doesn't recognize, and claws his way back to a standing position::

OPS_Ko`Bil says:
*CTO*: Lt. The intruders have just taken the Captain captive and left the ship.

Host CO_K`Beth says:
ACTION: Suddenly power is restored throughout the ship as if a switch was turned on.

CSO_Axin says:
OPS: Scanning for source of transport! ::hits his console, trying to locate the destination::

CTO_Grey-feather says:
*OPS*: Understood, prepare full sensor scan...find the CO so we can get her back, I will finish down here and be up as soon as I can

Host CO_K`Beth says:
<Dog> ::runs over to where the Captain last lay...a splotch of purple blood marking the area.  Sits down and howls heartbreakingly.

OPS_Ko`Bil says:
CSO: Roger 
CNS: Counsellor can you get anything from the Captain.

OPS_Ko`Bil says:
*CTO*: Roger and while you are at it have ME find out what caused out power outage.

CNS_LtCmdr_Jakiel says:
OPS:  I'm trying!  ::'concentrates' and 'projects' as strongly as she can, knowing that K'Beth usually has her mental shields up and hoping she thinks to relax them::

CSO_Axin says:
::takes a moment from scanning to look up in confusion, wondering if Ko'Bil knows that he's Jozel - Roger Knapman is the beta shift science bridge officer - but decides not to point that out during such a moment::

CTO_Grey-feather says:
*OPS*: I think it was part of the attack, until we know more scan for the CO I am on my way to the bridge now :: exits and heads for the TL for the bridge ::

OPS_Ko`Bil says:
::walks over and picks up Dog and starts petting him:: Dog: Don't worry fellow we will find her.

Host CO_K`Beth says:
<EO_Sprocket> ::comes up shakily to the CTO:: CTO: Sir....we found out what they did.  They released some sort of virus that only hit certain systems.  Then suddenly it was gone.

CSO_Axin says:
OPS: I can't get it, sir... there's a pattern, it's nothing I've seen before... and I can't tell where it came from. ::closes his eyes, and breathes, visualizing the pattern in his mind::

CTO_Grey-feather says:
EO: Can you download from the core archives and get all systems back on line :: waits at ME door waiting for answer::

Host CO_K`Beth says:
<Dog> ::whimpers and cuddles closer to OPS...her whole little body shivering::

CNS_LtCmdr_Jakiel says:
::shakes her head::  OPS:  Nothing again!  I don't get this.  I'm wondering if there's a psionic block somehow

Host CO_K`Beth says:
<EO_Sprocket>::nods:: CTO: Aye sir.  It won't take but a moment.

OPS_Ko`Bil says:
CNS: It is possible however keep trying it may help later.

CSO_Axin says:
OPS: If we see the same pattern again, we can do something.... at this point, we don't know where to look.... ::growls, and starts scanning for ion trails and warp signatures::

CTO_Grey-feather says:
EO: I expect to be ready for departure in 5 minutes then have your teams make ready, we have a rescue we are late for  :: gets in TL::

OPS_Ko`Bil says:
CSO: Try linking with the stations computer and see if they may have something that matches it.

CNS_LtCmdr_Jakiel says:
::nods to Ko'Bil and keeps trying to 'find' K'Beth...or anyone else::

CSO_Axin says:
OPS: Aye sir, cross-referencing...

CTO_Grey-feather says:
:: steps onto the bridge from the TL:: OPS/CSO : Report gentlemen

CSO_Axin says:
OPS: Lieutenant, I tried scanning for departing ships, but a station like Ke’PoVor... there are far too many to have the first idea which the captain might have been on

CNS_LtCmdr_Jakiel says:
Self: mmmmm...  ::squints as if looking at something then bites her lip::  OPS:  I felt the Captain...all I could feel was pain and darkness...and very, very angry.

OPS_Ko`Bil says:
CTO: The intruders show up on the bridge, shot the captain and then transported off the ship in a strange kind of Transporter. The only good news is that I am sure that I hit one of the intruders while they were transporting out.

CTO_Grey-feather says:
:: goes to his console:: Computer: This is lieutenant Grey-feather, I am taking command of the USS Arondight until the executive officer can be located.  We have suffered an abduction of the CO and since this is a tactical situation I am taking command as per Starfleet protocol

OPS_Ko`Bil says:
CNS: Any ideal which direction we should go?

CSO_Axin says:
CTO: The transporter trace isn't known to us, but now we have a trace of it, we can at least know what we're looking for... starbase computers are currently cross-referencing, no matches so far

CTO_Grey-feather says:
OPS:  Sweep the bridge for signs of DNA from the intruder and use it to augment the search.  Maybe we can spill a bit more of that blood after we get the captain back

CNS_LtCmdr_Jakiel says:
OPS:  No sir...it was just a flash of a feeling.  Much too brief for a directional.

CTO_Grey-feather says:
CSO: Cross reference with all databanks Klingon, Romulan, Ferengi, Cardassian, anything you can find

OPS_Ko`Bil says:
::starts checking the COM for anything unusual::

CSO_Axin says:
CTO: Uh... heh... em, uh, oh...... oh.

CSO_Axin says:
CTO: I've found a match, sir... which isn't a good thing.

CTO_Grey-feather says:
CSO: What is it

CSO_Axin says:
CTO: An experimental transporter, sir, it could transport through shielding... it was abandoned....

CSO_Axin says:
CTO: Test subjects came out in... somewhat less than the condition they went in...

CTO_Grey-feather says:
CSO: Abandoned by who?  This is a race to get the CO back and there is no prize for coming in second

CSO_Axin says:
CTO: Sorry sir, it was a Federation device

CTO_Grey-feather says:
CSO: Bring up everything you have on it, I expect you to brief the bridge staff that is here within 5 minutes

OPS_Ko`Bil says:
CTO: It sound like some one didn't want to let it go.

CTO_Grey-feather says:
OPS: Or thought there was profit in it, we are in the Ferengi’s backyard here

CNS_LtCmdr_Jakiel says:
::listens to a com from medical::  CTO: Chief Madson is in sickbay now.  Dr Desai is looking him over.

CNS_LtCmdr_Jakiel says:
::starts to wonder why Grey-feather has assumed the central chair, but says nothing, since it was an invasion::

CSO_Axin says:
::blinks, and looks back down at his console, absorbing the information he has access to::

CTO_Grey-feather says:
CNS: Thank you commander, please keep me informed on his condition.  He looked the worse for wear last I say of him

CSO_Axin says:
::tries to blot out memories of the last time he gave a presentation to a group of more than two people - a thesis defence that nearly failed::

OPS_Ko`Bil says:
CTO: And if they have perfected it there would be great profit in it. however it wouldn't be in the Ferengi's interest to pull something like this as it would more harmful to them than profitable.

CTO_Grey-feather says:
OPS: True the profit is in perfecting the technology no in who they sold it to and who they used it.

CSO_Axin says:
CTO: Perhaps the question should be, who would the Captain be useful to ::said without looking up from his console::

CNS_LtCmdr_Jakiel says:
::wonders what those people are doing to have caused pain to the Captain and thinks they must want information badly, remembering that K'Beth had a lot of secrets she carried with her::

OPS_Ko`Bil says:
CTO: True I will see in any of my Ferengi contacts might know something about this.

CTO_Grey-feather says:
CSO: Scuttlebutt says she has butted heads without about evey race you can imagine, she has quite an fan club they tell me

CTO_Grey-feather says:
OPS: Time is of the essence

OPS_Ko`Bil says:
::contacts the station for clearance so that they will be ready to depart on a moment notice::

OPS_Ko`Bil says:
CTO: I will do my best :: starts contacting some of his Ferengi friends for any information they may have::

CNS_LtCmdr_Jakiel says:
CTO: I felt her again!  ::physically turns toward the direction of the station::  Captain K'Beth...she's...getting weaker I think.  It seemed to come from the station.

CTO_Grey-feather says:
OPS/CSO: Gentlemen I expect something within the next 5 minutes

CTO_Grey-feather says:
CNS: Good work commander keep at it

CSO_Axin says:
Self: Expecting it won't bring it about....

CTO_Grey-feather says:
COM: Ke’PoVor: This is the Arondight we have a kidnapping in progress requesting station wide lockdown

OPS_Ko`Bil says:
CTO: Lt. we are cleared to leave the station and I am sending them the report about what has happened on the ship. :: sends the report::

Host CO_K`Beth says:
ACTION: Suddenly all consoles and viewscreens flash with the same message over and over again.  "Free them or she dies."

Host CO_K`Beth says:
