Captain's Log, Stardate 10701.21

Host CO_Capt_Yates says:
The meeting with Julien Mancuso, the leader of the Resistance de Capo, seems to be taking quite an interesting turn. I am not sure if I will be able to persuade him to call off his attack on Federation citizens, nor do I have any belief that he cares about their fate.

Host CO_Capt_Yates says:
The demands Mancuso has made will not be able to be honored according to what I have been told by Admiral Winters. Unfortunately, I assume events will take a turn for the worse.

Host CO_Capt_Yates says:
End Log.

Host SM_Sam says:

CIV_Glinn_Marat says:
#::nosing around the station::

Host SM_Sam says:
@ACTION: The attackers get up and start firing back at the AT.  

Host CO_Capt_Yates says:
#::Ashley watches Julien Mancuso for several seconds before responding to his demands:: Mancuso: You're aware that I'm not authorized to make any decisions of that magnitude, Mister Mancuso. Do you truly believe Starfleet would agree to them?

OPS_Ko`Bil says:
@::takes aim at another one of the attackers::

Host SM_Sam says:
@ACTION: One of the stray phaser blasts hit the XO in the shoulder and hits his head back

CTO_Lt_Ki says:
#::in the meeting room watching the proceedings::

Host Siyenda says:
@::struggles with the attackers::

OPS_Ko`Bil says:
@::sees the XO go down and thinks great another XO I am going to have to carry::

Julien_Mancuso says:
#::goes back over to his desk to refill his Kressarian tea:: CO: I don't expect Starfleet to...I expect your President will, however. If not, then surely your so-called Council will see the light, yes?

Host Siyenda says:
@ACTION: An attacker is hit square in the chest from the OPS's fire and falls back::

CNS_LtCmdr_Jakiel says:
::getting very anxious just waiting and sensing Scott's adrenaline rise sharply and can't 'speak' to him or know what's going on::  TO: Anything new on the scans?  Something is going on down there.

CIV_Glinn_Marat says:
#::heads down a corridor that appears that it could contain something of interest, boots clang on the deck (tm)::

Rebel says:
#CIV: Marat!  I got news!

OPS_Ko`Bil says:
@::moves over to the XO and checks to see how bad he is hurt ::

CIV_Glinn_Marat says:
#::turns at the sound of her name being yelled:: Rebel: And that would be....

Host CO_Capt_Yates says:
#Mancuso: Again, do you not see how this request could cause millions of people to be relocated from their homes?  That, I know, isn't a fair request.

CTO_Lt_Ki says:
#::thinks it sounds as though Mancuso is actually going to let them out of here alive, if only to pass along his demands::

Rebel says:
#CIV: There is something going on, near our outpost.  I heard there is a spy there.

Host Siyenda says:
@::kicks one of the attackers off, and reaches for the attacker’s phaser::

CNS_LtCmdr_Jakiel says:
Self:  Scott!  ::feels Scott's awareness 'haze' out and is really worried now::  
TO:  The sensors, anything on the away team?

CIV_Glinn_Marat says:
#::raises an eyebrow:: Rebel:  That can't be possible.

OPS_Ko`Bil says:
@::sees that the XO's injuries are minor and resumes firing at the attackers.::

Julien_Mancuso says:
#::slams his drink on the desk, his previous aloof and haughty expression turning to a sudden twist of glaring irritation:: CO: Don't speak to me of ethics, servant of hypocrites!

Rebel says:
#CIV: I don't lie, I heard this from my uncle that is chasing him.

CTO_Lt_Ki says:
#::steps forward menacingly like::

Host CO_Capt_Yates says:
#::she does not seem taken back by the outburst:: Mancuso: This isn't my decision to make, Mister Mancuso. However, I'll send a message to Starfleet Command with your demands. Would that be acceptable?

CIV_Glinn_Marat says:
#Rebel: Your Uncle is chasing the spy?  Who is the spy working for?

Host Siyenda says:
@::grabs the phaser but is hit in the head::

Rebel says:
#CIV: I think he said it was the Federation.

CIV_Glinn_Marat says:
#::raising an eyebrow thinking this is it::  Rebel: Do you think we should go help?

Host Siyenda says:
@ACTION: OPS Is able to hit 3 of the 4 attackers and the rest of the attackers run away, leaving the agent in the dirt

OPS_Ko`Bil says:
@::moves to get a better shot and fires at another one of the attackers::

Julien_Mancuso says:
#::turns his glare to the CTO, then chuckles, obviously amused with himself and the two officers:: CO: No, unacceptable. I want this to ripple through your halls of power. I will accept nothing else than full compliance from either your executive or legislative branches.

Rebel says:
#CIV: We should tell Julien.  I think he is talking to the Federation people right now.

CNS_LtCmdr_Jakiel says:
TO:  Are our fighter pilots ready to go?  Something is not going well.

Host Siyenda says:
@ACTION: One of the attackers gets hit in the back and falls.

CIV_Glinn_Marat says:
#::turns to head in the direction for Julien's office::  Rebel: Let's go!

CTO_Lt_Ki says:
#::frowns, not quite getting the implication::

Host CO_Capt_Yates says:
#Mancuso: And how exactly am I suppose to accomplish this standing here, Mister Mancuso? Your demands must be sent to Starfleet Command, and then they'll be passed on. As you are well aware, I'm not a member of the Executive or Legislative branch.

Rebel says:
#::nods and ruins behind Marat::

OPS_Ko`Bil says:
@::sees the rest of the attackers leaving and moves to the man laying in the dirt:: Man: I am from the Federation, are  you the person that we are suppose to meet? :: scans the man as he speaks::

CIV_Glinn_Marat says:
#::begins running down the corridor weighed down in full Cardassian Armor and finally reaches Mancuso's office pressing the "Page" button::

Host Siyenda says:
@::Coughs and tries to get up, looks frantically around:: OPS: Yes

Host CO_Capt_Yates says:
#::she turns at the sound of the page:: ~~~CNS: Be ready, Counselor.~~~

Julien_Mancuso says:
#CO: Don't play me a fool. I know Starfleet takes orders from the Council routinely. If you must be so...two-dimensional, then take my demands to your superiors. Now, unless you have anything else enlightening to say or offer to me, you are welcomed to vacate the premises.

OPS_Ko`Bil says:
@Siyenda: Are you able to move?  If so we need to get back to the shuttle.

CNS_LtCmdr_Jakiel says:
~~~CO:  I have the fighters standing by...~~~

CTO_Lt_Ki says:
#::brightens up at the prospect of getting the heck out of here::

Host Siyenda says:
@OPS: I dropped something.  I need to retrieve it.  ::looks frantically around::

Host CO_Capt_Yates says:
#Mancuso: Expecting company?  Of course, if these demands are to be sent through the proper channels, then you'd be required to stand down from attacking innocent civilians until the Council decides to speak with you. It shouldn't take very long, but I need you to agree to this.

OPS_Ko`Bil says:
@Siyenda: What was it?

CNS_LtCmdr_Jakiel says:
NoDuz/TO:  Be ready to blow those docking clamps and send out the fighters on my word...

CIV_Glinn_Marat says:
#::gets tired of waiting and just barges into the office::

OPS_Ko`Bil says:
@::start looking around::

CTO_Lt_Ki says:
#::is startled as someone barges into the room.  Reaches for his phaser then remembers he's been disarmed::

Host Siyenda says:
@::finds it in the dust:: OPS: Here.  A data chip.  ::gets up off his hands and knees::

Host CO_Capt_Yates says:
#::she notes the Cardassian female barge in, and takes a step backward::

CIV_Glinn_Marat says:
#::spots a Federation Captain, she decides to move over to Mancuso's side to talk quietly::

Julien_Mancuso says:
#::quietly seats himself on his tall-backed Victorian-era looking study chair:: CO: There is nothing more to negotiate, Captain.

OPS_NoDuz says:
CNS: Roger Ma'am, the docking clamps are ready to be blown on a moments notice.

Julien_Mancuso says:
#::regards the rude intrusion into his office by Marat with unabashed eyes::

Host CO_Capt_Yates says:
#Mancuso: Then we'll take our leave. ::she turns toward the exit:: 
CTO: Lets go, Lieutenant.

OPS_Ko`Bil says:
@Siyenda: Good.  Then let’s get out of here before those guys show back up with help.

TO_Smith says:
CNS:  Aye.  At the ready.

CIV_Glinn_Marat says:
#::leans in close to Mancuso and whispers::  Mancuso: I have been informed that we are in pursuit of the Federation Agent at the outpost.

Host Siyenda says:
@::nods:: OPS: Lead the way

CNS_LtCmdr_Jakiel says:
Self:  What is going on?  ::walks back over to the Captain's chair but continues standing::

CTO_Lt_Ki says:
#::follows the CO::

CNS_LtCmdr_Jakiel says:
NoDuz:  Do you still have a transporter lock on the away team and the Captain's team?

Host Siyenda says:
@::feels a lot better since there is help::

OPS_Ko`Bil says:
@::turns and heads back towards the shuttle retrieving the XO on their way:: Siyenda; I am glad that you can still walk.  I would hate to have to carry both of you.

CTO_Lt_Ki says:
#::wonders how the Cardassians are involved with all this as he walks::

Host CO_Capt_Yates says:
#::she exits Mancuso's Office and begins to make her way back toward the Arondight, assuming that the Security Officers would take the weapons she handed over:: ~~~CNS: Counselor, I want a message sent to Admiral Miller. Tell him I need to speak with him.~~~

OPS_NoDuz says:
CNS: Yes Ma'am I still have a lock.

CTO_Lt_Ki says:
#::stops to retrieve his weapons and gestures for the two other tactical officers to follow the CO::

Julien_Mancuso says:
#waits for the CO and CTO to exit, and the door closes, before speaking up in a cold, bitter, and barely controlled rage:: Marat: Pursuit? Federation scoundrels and demons abound. Is there more to this report?

CNS_LtCmdr_Jakiel says:
~~~CO:  I'll do that right away. ~~~  
NoDuz:  I need a message sent out; top priority to Admiral Miller that Captain Yates needs to speak to him as soon as possible.

Host CO_Capt_Yates says:
#::she remains silent as she makes her way to the Arondight. She didn't trust speaking to anyone while within the walls of the rebel base::

Host Siyenda says:
@::looks at OPS: OPS: We weren't formally introduced.  I am Siyenda, Code named Desert Eagle.

CTO_Lt_Ki says:
#::follows along, fighting back a spike of anger he can't quite make sense out of::

OPS_NoDuz says:
CNS: Aye ma'am message being sent now. ::sends the message to Starfleet::

CNS_LtCmdr_Jakiel says:
TO/NoDuz:  The Captain is returning.  ::is relieved to have part of the Arondight's crew returning but is still very concerned for her unconscious nephew::  
*Dr Desai*:  Shehanna, you may have a patient shortly.

OPS_Ko`Bil says:
@Siyenda: Good to meet you I am Lt. Ko`Bil from the Arondight and this lump on my shoulder the our XO.

CIV_Glinn_Marat says:
#Mancuso: Not to my knowledge as of yet.  ::turns looking for the nephew of the Uncle in pursuit::  Apparently, at least one of our people were chasing him at the outpost.  I may have some details a little fuzzy.  You should really take my advice and run things a little more Cardassian like here.

TO_Smith says:
::is relieved::

Host CO_Capt_Yates says:
#::she reaches the Arondight after a few moments:: CTO: What are your thoughts, Lieutenant? ::she enters the Turbo Lift:: Computer: Bridge.

Rebel says:
#::barges in:: Mancuso: They have escaped!

CTO_Lt_Ki says:
CO:  He's a difficult man to negotiate with.

CIV_Glinn_Marat says:
#Mancuso: Shall I see to his capture myself?  ::stops hearing the new voice::

Host CO_Capt_Yates says:
CTO: Unfortunately, he wasn't looking to negotiate. He wants complete obedience. ::she taps her foot as the lift moves::

Host Siyenda says:
@OPS: Lieutenant, this ::holds up the data chip:: is data that will help the Federation stop these terrorists.

OPS_NoDuz says:
::looks at the return message from Starfleet and thinks that this is weird:: CNS: Ma 'am we just received a message from Starfleet saying the Admiral Miller is busy and will return our call when he is free.

Julien_Mancuso says:
#::feels a slight shake in his right hand, wanting to crush something breakable right now upon hearing the Rebel:: Marat/Rebel: The two of you will see this to the very end. We cannot afford failure at a time like this!

CTO_Lt_Ki says:
CO:  Aye Captain.  I believe you are right about that.

Host CO_Capt_Yates says:
::she steps onto the Bridge:: CNS: Report, Commander. ::she makes her way to the Command Ring::

CNS_LtCmdr_Jakiel says:
::turns toward NoDuz::  NoDuz:  Something is wrong.  Was that message intercepted?  He would never respond like that.  Put the message through again on high encryption.

Rebel says:
#::nods::

CTO_Lt_Ki says:
::follows the CO onto the bridge and moves to the tactical console, relieving Smith::

CIV_Glinn_Marat says:
#::stands up straight letting a smile cross her face::  Mancuso: It will be my pleasure.  ::turns to the Rebel:  Rebel: We'll take my Cardassian Transport, the Dilgra.

OPS_Ko`Bil says:
@Siyenda: Then I suggest you hold on to that chip till we get back to the Arondight. ::exits the stream bed and turn towards the shuttle:: The shuttle is right over here.

Host CO_Capt_Yates says:
NoDuz: Ensign, request permission to depart from the base. I don't want to be attached to this place any longer.

CNS_LtCmdr_Jakiel says:
CO:  Captain.  The message that was just sent to Admiral Miller ostensibly came back saying he was busy and will call us when he has time.  I am having it resent.

Host Siyenda says:
@::looks around:: OPS: What shuttle?

Rebel says:
#::nods to Marat::

CNS_LtCmdr_Jakiel says:
CO:  The away team, I'm not sure what's going on but Scott is unconscious.  Ko'Bil is still alert but we are maintaining silence.  Something went on though.

OPS_NoDuz says:
CO: Aye Captain requesting permission now.

CIV_Glinn_Marat says:
#Rebel: What was their last known location? ::heading toward the exit from Mancuso's Office::

Host CO_Capt_Yates says:
CNS: Good. This isn't a social call. ::she nods at the report regarding the Away Team::  They'll make it. I have faith in them. ::she takes a seat in her chair::

Rebel says:
#CIV: On the third planet.

CNS_LtCmdr_Jakiel says:
::steps away from the captain's chair and gestures for Yates to take it::  CO: I hope that message wasn't intercepted.  His response was not right.

Julien_Mancuso says:
#::watches his trusted allies exit the office, then looks at a picture on his desk of someone he cherished once in life, someone he can never forget::

OPS_Ko`Bil says:
@Waves to the security personal in the shuttle to open the door and chuckles:: Siyenda: Right over there by that rock outcropping :: points::

CNS_LtCmdr_Jakiel says:
CO:  If I may ask, what did Mancuso have to say?

CIV_Glinn_Marat says:
#::arriving at the hangar where the transport is kept:: Rebel: You pilot this time.

Rebel says:
#CIV: Ok alright.

Host CO_Capt_Yates says:
CNS: Starfleet Intelligence doesn't always address people in the proper fashion, Counselor. As for Mancuso, he would like for us to vacate two sectors and to fund the revitalization of the worlds within them.

Host Siyenda says:
@::looks at it:: OPS: Wow.

CIV_Glinn_Marat says:
#::steps into the transport and acquires departure coordinates::  Rebel: Ready when you are.

OPS_NoDuz says:
::runs the message through the encrypter again::

CTO_Lt_Ki says:
::runs scans attempting to pinpoint the location of all ships in the area::

Julien_Mancuso says:
#Self: Do not, for one repulse, forego the purpose that you resolved to effect.... ::quoting Shakespeare while he stares at the picture, alone::

CNS_LtCmdr_Jakiel says:
CO:  Typical.  I expected something like that.  And Mancuso should expect that that is unreasonable.  Did he say what would happen if we did not go along with those demands?

CIV_Glinn_Marat says:
#::watches as the stars come into view out the forward portal::

Host CO_Capt_Yates says:
CNS: What do you think will happen, Counselor? He has already flexed his muscles once and he won't hesitate to do so again and again.

Host Siyenda says:
ACTION:  The Rebel Base acknowledges the Com and the Arondight is cleared.

OPS_Ko`Bil says:
@Siyenda: Yeah I was impressed when I first saw what it could do. ::enters the shuttle and sets the XO down and moves to the flight console::

Host CO_Capt_Yates says:
CTO: Lieutenant, make a record of everything our sensors can pick up at this very moment. We're going to need all of this data.

OPS_NoDuz says:
CO: Sir we are cleared to leave. Releasing the docking clamps now.

CNS_LtCmdr_Jakiel says:
CO:  A man convicted however radically will do everything to affect his purpose.  ::shakes her head::  He won't stop.

Rebel says:
::pilots the shuttle to the 3rd planet::

CTO_Lt_Ki says:
CO:  Aye Captain.  I'll keep it all in the database.  ::continues with his scans::

Host Siyenda says:
ACTION: NuDuz's com to Admiral Miller is again come up with Please call again later.

CIV_Glinn_Marat says:
#::sees the globe of the third planet come into view:: Rebel:  Are we to kill this agent or retrieve him/her?

CNS_LtCmdr_Jakiel says:
CO:  It usually means a waiting game of distraction while we set up plans to try and stop him.

Rebel says:
#CIV: We have to silence him.

Host CO_Capt_Yates says:
NoDuz: Understood. ::she turns to the AFCO:: 
AFCO: Detach us from this base and take us to our rendezvous point. Hopefully the Away Team will be able to meet us there shortly.

OPS_NoDuz says:
CO: Captain I have run this message from Starfleet twice and it still comes up with “call back later.”

CIV_Glinn_Marat says:
#::acknowledges him with a nod as she inspects her disruptor:: Rebel: I have a special mission for you when we land.

Rebel says:
#CIV: Oh what is that?

CTO_Lt_Ki says:
CO:  Shields up, Captain?

OPS_Ko`Bil says:
@::closes the door to the shuttle as everyone gets settled and starts the preflight checks::

Host CO_Capt_Yates says:
NoDuz: Then let’s test our comm. system to see if our comms are being intercepted. Send a message to Admiral Winters. He should still be on the Avalon Station. 
CTO: Once we are clear, Lieutenant.

CTO_Lt_Ki says:
CO:  Aye.  ::waits impatiently for the ship to get underway::

AFCO_Freedom says:
CO: Aye, sir! ::does as told and points the ship in the proper direction::

CIV_Glinn_Marat says:
#Rebel: I'll need you to stay on the transport and make sure the Federation scum does not steal it.

Rebel says:
#CIV: What fun is that?

OPS_NoDuz says:
CO: Aye Captain ::sends a message to Avalon station for Admiral Winters::

CNS_LtCmdr_Jakiel says:
::takes a seat, but thinking that the Admiral's response is just too atypical::

Host CO_Capt_Yates says:
CTO: Lieutenant, I want one of your tactical specialists to study that data closely. I want to discover all of the weak points of that base, its weapon systems, and any possible breaks in the shields or structural integrity. Anything at all.

Host Siyenda says:
ACTION: NoDuz gets a busy signal.  And finds out that the Base is jamming all Starfleet frequencies

CTO_Lt_Ki says:
CTO:  Aye Captain.  Might be good to have Science and Engineering look it over as well?

Host CO_Capt_Yates says:
CTO: Make it so, Lieutenant.

OPS_Ko`Bil says:
@::finishes his preflight:: All: Everyone take a seat we are leaving :: nods to one of the security personal to take care of the XO and takes off with the shuttle.::

CTO_Lt_Ki says:
::nods and sends the request for additional analyses to the relevant departments::

Host Siyenda says:
@::secures his seat::

CTO_Lt_Ki says:
::notices they are away from the base and raises shields::

CNS_LtCmdr_Jakiel says:
CO:  Our sensors were being blocked the entire time you were away as was my ability, but...there was a point that I felt they were hiding something.  It was just for a couple seconds and then it was gone.

CTO_Lt_Ki says:
CO:  Shield activated Captain.  ::continues his scans while they are still in range of the base::

OPS_NoDuz says:
CO: Well captain it seems that all comms to Starfleet are being jammed at the moment.

Host CO_Capt_Yates says:
CNS: Counselor, I want Sickbay ready for the return of our Away Team. We aren't sure what condition our people will be in. ::she nods::  I assume they're hiding several things, Commander.

CIV_Glinn_Marat says:
#::stops as she notes something on sensors:: Rebel: Wait a minute... what have we here?  Will wonders never cease?  I think I may have them.  Head to these coordinates.  ::transfers the data from the Tactical Sensors to Flight Control::

Host CO_Capt_Yates says:
NoDuz: Which isn't a surprise. Once we're clear from their base, resend the transmission.

Rebel says:
#CIV: Huh?

CNS_LtCmdr_Jakiel says:
CO:  I've already alerted sickbay.  And yes, they would be, but this was more specific.

OPS_NoDuz says:
CO: Aye Ma'am

Host CO_Capt_Yates says:
CNS: Specific how?

CIV_Glinn_Marat says:
#Rebel: Just do it.  We'll be able to bring the Federation Agent to Mancuso shortly if you do.

Rebel says:
#::nods::

OPS_Ko`Bil says:
@:: bring the Shuttle to a course that will take it to the meet with the Arondight keeping it cloaked till they are out of sensor range of the ships in the area::

CTO_Lt_Ki says:
::watching the erratic progress of one particular transport ship::

CNS_LtCmdr_Jakiel says:
CO:  Just that, there is something specific, more than other things, that they do not want us to know about.  I couldn't sense anything else before they 'blocked' me out again.

CIV_Glinn_Marat says:
#::hails the Chameleon class vessel::

Host CO_Capt_Yates says:
CNS: Well, there isn't much we can do about it at the moment. We just need to understand that they aren't our allies, nor will they ever be.

CTO_Lt_Ki says:
::has a bad feeling about this and extrapolates the transport’s course::

OPS_Ko`Bil says:
@::sees the hail coming in and wonder who this person is and why they are trying to hail a shuttle that isn't there::

Host Siyenda says:
ACTION: As the Arondight leaves, several ships follow in its wake.

CTO_Lt_Ki says:
CO:  Ummm... looks like they are giving us an escort.

OPS_Ko`Bil says:
@Siyenda: You have anyone else that is suppose to be with you?

Host CO_Capt_Yates says:
CTO: That's fine, Lieutenant. Just keep a close eye on them. How many ships and what classes?

Host Siyenda says:
ACTION: The OPS Panel goes off, an incoming comm. from the Avalon.

CTO_Lt_Ki says:
CO:  Checking.

Host Siyenda says:
@::Shakes his head:: OPS: Nope.  Nobody.

CIV_Glinn_Marat says:
#::hails again to show she knows its there:: COM: Fed Shuttle: This is Glinn Marat.  You are ordered to stand down and lower your shields or be destroyed.  ::sends a packet of information through a secondary channel saying "Check Starfleet Databanks and you'll find out about me.  I need a way out of this place and you’re it.  Lower your shields and beam my pilot to a safe holding area and I'll return to with you to your command ship.

OPS_NoDuz says:
CO; Captain, we have an incoming hail from the Avalon Station.

Host CO_Capt_Yates says:
CNS: Would you mind working with Science to see if our scans can pick up any signs of the Away Team?

CTO_Lt_Ki says:
CO:  A couple of Birds of Prey.  They look like the same ones that escorted us in.

OPS_Ko`Bil says:
@Siyenda: Then I wonder who is trying to hail a federation Shuttle out here?

Host CO_Capt_Yates says:
NoDuz: Redirect it to my Ready Room, Ensign. ::she stands and makes her way toward it:: CNS: You have the Bridge, Counselor. ::she enters and makes her way toward her desk::

Host Siyenda says:
@OPS: Were you the only one that is suppose to pick me up?  ::gets nervous::

OPS_NoDuz says:
CO: Aye Captain ::redirects the call to the Captain’s RR::

CNS_LtCmdr_Jakiel says:
CO:  Of course, Captain.  I would think they are near.  ::gets up and moves to Science Two to take a look at the sensors::  The shuttle is most likely cloaked.  If Scott were conscious I could tell you when he was nearer, but...

Host CO_Capt_Yates says:
::she takes a seat at her desk and waits for the comm. to open::

CNS_LtCmdr_Jakiel says:
::turns and gets up, returning to the captain's seat to take it::  CTO: Keep me updated on the progress of those Birds of Prey.  
Science: At any sign of the shuttle we need to be ready to open the bay doors.

Host Siyenda says:
<Admiral Winters>: COM: Arondight: Captain Yates, report.

OPS_Ko`Bil says:
@:: feels his nerves stand on end:: Siyenda: This don't look good. All we can hope for now is that whoever this fool is he doesn't blow our cover.

Host Siyenda says:
<Add $>

Host CO_Capt_Yates says:
COM: Avalon: Would you like the extended version, or the long version, Admiral?

CTO_Lt_Ki says:
CNS:  They aren't getting any closer so far.  ::keeps watching::

Admiral_Winters says:
$COM: Arondight: Give the short version.

CNS_LtCmdr_Jakiel says:
CTO:  I'm hoping they haven't figured out about our cloaked shuttle.  I can't see what else they are following.

Host Siyenda says:
@::nods::

Host CO_Capt_Yates says:
COM: Avalon: Mister Mancuso's demands were quite simple. He would like for us to vacate two sectors and fund the revitalization of all of the worlds in those sectors. If we don't comply, then he'll take further action.

Rebel says:
#CIV: I don't see anything out there.

OPS_Ko`Bil says:
@::keeps a check on the systems making sure that the cloak stays online::

CTO_Lt_Ki says:
CNS: The Birds of Prey are following us.  But there is a transport ship from the base heading roughly to our rendezvous coordinates.  You don't suppose it’s following our away team?

Admira_Winters says:
$COM: Arondight: You know Captain, that is not an option.  How many ships do you guess he has?

CNS_LtCmdr_Jakiel says:
CTO:  I have a bad feeling it may be.

CTO_Lt_Ki says:
CNS:  How could it possibly detect them?  I can't.

CIV_Glinn_Marat says:
#::turns to the Rebel Pilot::  Rebel: My dear sweet innocent fool.  My Cardassian Intellect can bury you in any game of your choice.  Trust me, I know what I'm talking about.

Host Siyenda says:
ACTION: The shuttle is within range of the Arondight.

Host CO_Capt_Yates says:
COM: Avalon: The easier question would be to guess how many ships he doesn't have, Admiral. The base, as you may not have been aware, is the size of a rather large moon. Is there a reason Starfleet didn't inform me of this?

CNS_LtCmdr_Jakiel says:
CTO: Because we don't know how much information that Mancuso and his group got hold of before they left.

CTO_Lt_Ki says:
::considers that::

Admiral_Winters says:
$:COM: Arondight: What?  The size of who?

OPS_Ko`Bil says:
@::bring the shuttle to the coordinates where the Arondight is suppose to be and hail the Arondight::

CIV_Glinn_Marat says:
#::detects an Akira class:: Rebel: Our window of opportunity is wearing thin.  ::thinking to herself how to proceed and get out of this predicament the right way::

CTO_Lt_Ki says:
CNS:  Wait.  This wouldn't be our ship, would it?

Host CO_Capt_Yates says:
COM: Avalon: As I've stated, Admiral, the size of a moon. This organization has a great means of taking care and defending themselves.

CNS_LtCmdr_Jakiel says:
::senses Scott closer::  CTO:  Yes, I think it is.  Have the bay doors ready to open to let them back on board.

CIV_Glinn_Marat says:
#Self: Damn it!  ::slams her disruptor over the back of the Rebel Pilot's head::

CTO_Lt_Ki says:
CNS:  I'll have to drop shields.  Although since that transport isn't well armed and the Birds of Prey are hanging back, it shouldn't be a problem.

Admiral_Winters says:
$COM: Arondight: Captain, attempt to negotiate. I will inform Starfleet and see how they wish to proceed.

OPS_NoDuz says:
CNS: Ma'am, the AT is requesting permission to land.

CNS_LtCmdr_Jakiel says:
CTO:  Go ahead.  We need to get that shuttle in.

Host Siyenda says:
#ACTION: The Rebel is knocked out.

Host CO_Capt_Yates says:
COM: Avalon: That is what I have been trying to do, Admiral. Negotiations are over... I've given you his list of demands. He will not waiver.

CTO_Lt_Ki says:
::drops shields and orders the bay doors opened::

CNS_LtCmdr_Jakiel says:
OPS:  Tell them they can bring the shuttle in.

CIV_Glinn_Marat says:
#::tries to move the Rebel out of the seat while the transport begins to fly erratically before she finally regains control and opens hailing frequencies to the Arondight::

OPS_NoDuz says:
CNS: Aye Ma'am ::contact the shuttle and tell it where to land::

Admiral_Winters says:
$COM: Arondight: Very well.  Rendezvous with the Horatio and her task force.  I will transmit further instructions then.

CTO_Lt_Ki says:
::watching the transport on sensors wonders if the pilot is drunk, or what::

CNS_LtCmdr_Jakiel says:
CTO:  Have them slam those doors shut once the shuttle is in and have shields back up right away.

CTO_Lt_Ki says:
CNS:  Oh right.  ::shifts his attention back to the hanger situation::

Host CO_Capt_Yates says:
COM: Arondight: As you wish, Admiral. ::she pauses:: I do hope that you aren't holding any information back, Admiral. We need as much as possible.

OPS_Ko`Bil says:
@::receives the message from the Arondight and steers the shuttle for the shuttle bay:: Siyenda: We should be aboard in about 5 minutes.

Admiral_Winters says:
$COM Arondight: Captain Trust me, there is nothing I would leave behind.

Host CO_Capt_Yates says:
COM: Avalon: I'll hold you to that, Admiral. I only give trust once. Is there anything else?

CIV_Glinn_Marat says:
#::spots the Arondight’s bay doors open and hails again::  COM: Arondight: This is Glinn Marat of the Cardassian Union.  Run my name through Starfleet data records and you'll find I am an Officer in the Exchange Program who' s last known whereabouts was heading back to Cardassian from the Nighthawk.  Please respond.

Admiral_Winters says:
$COM: Arondight: Nothing I can be aware of.

OPS_NoDuz says:
CNS: Ma'am we have a Cardassian hailing us. From what I am getting he is our new Civilian officer.

CNS_LtCmdr_Jakiel says:
::listens to the com::  NoDuz:  Run his name through, scan his Junker thoroughly for anything suspicious.  
CTO:  Have a team waiting if we let him on, and keep him surrounded until we can completely verify his authenticity.

Admiral_Winters says:
$::closes the comm.. and wonders if Admiral Miller has anything to do with it::

Host CO_Capt_Yates says:
COM: Avalon: Arondight out. ::she cuts the comm.. and makes her way back to the Bridge. She had a feeling there was more to all of this than what was being said::

CNS_LtCmdr_Jakiel says:
CO:  Another comm.  A man named Glinn that says he's one of ours from the Exchange Program.  We're checking on him now.  He wants to come aboard.

OPS_NoDuz says:
CNS: Aye Ma'am ::has a security team head to TR1:: Transporting her now ::transports the officer aboard::
