<<<<<<<<<<<<<<< Internal Affairs IX: Searching For Life forms >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>
XO_LTCmd_Mea`e says:
:: Heading for medical::
CEO_Ens_OReiley says:
::In ME monitoring ship's systems on the MSD with her team leaders and waiting on events::
Host CO_Capt_McDuggle says:
:: on bridge reading reports::
XO_LTCmd_Mea`e says:
:: As she nears the doors, activating the sensors, they part and she slips through.::
CMO_Redwood says:
::looking at the final results from his tests on the tricorder scans:: XO: Commander, good timing.
CMO_Redwood says:
::from a leaning position over the computer, straightens up and smiles:: XO: I compared the results of the scan with the last records from previous transporter records of our Cardassian guests... We definitely picked them up on that scan.
XO_LTCmd_Mea`e says:
:: Walks over to see what he is looking at.::
CMO_Redwood says:
XO: But... ::pauses:: there is something I don't like. I picked up two more life-forms, Cardassian which suggests either someone is in the habit of capturing their species or they are in cohorts.
Host CO_Capt_McDuggle says:
NoDuz: Contact the other 2 ships and have them scan for any cloaked ships in the area.
XO_LTCmd_Mea`e says:
CMO: So we know they have the Cardassians we had and we have a general idea where they were beamed to.  But as you said, we don't know if the group we had was part of this or not.
Host CO_Capt_McDuggle says:
<NoDuz> CO: Aye Sir :: contacts the other ships::
Host SM_Sam says:
ACTION: Long Range Sensors pick up two Cardassian ships.
CMO_Redwood says:
XO: Exactly. ::looks away from the console and to the XO:: XO: I am afraid to say that we are still at square one.
Host CO_Capt_McDuggle says:
<NoDuz> CO : Captain we have 2 Cardassian ships on LRS.
CEO_Ens_OReiley says:
::Starts shutting down all non-essential systems to keep power free for important systems if they run into trouble::
XO_LTCmd_Mea`e says:
CMO: Maybe not.  Pull up a Cardassians normal heart rate and one that stressed.  Then compare the signatures.  That might tell us something of their stress level.
Host CO_Capt_McDuggle says:
NoDuz: Roger.  TO: Bring the ship to red alert.
Host CO_Capt_McDuggle says:
*XO*: Cmdr I am hoping that you and the Doctor have some good news for me?
XO_LTCmd_Mea`e says:
:: Hearing the red alert::  CMO: I will be on the bridge.
CMO_Redwood says:
::raises his eyebrows at the idea and works his hands over the console:: XO: Right...the regular heart beat here...and the other one here... ::knows he doesn't need to go into detail with a former medical officer::
CMO_Redwood says:
::hears the red alert:: XO: I'll keep you informed.
CEO_Ens_OReiley says:
::Reinforces structural integrity and puts extra power into inertial dampers for maneuvers, then dumps all the remaining extra power into shields and weapons and engines::
XO_LTCmd_Mea`e says:
*CO*: Only that the readings the doctor has confirms the bio readings match those of the Cardassians that were taken from our ship.
XO_LTCmd_Mea`e says:
:: With a nod, heads out the doors and to the nearest lift.::
CMO_Redwood says:
::sits down to take a close look at the results:: *XO*: Redwood to Mea'e... I'm afraid nothing has come up, but I'll try a few other things to see what else we can learn.
CEO_Ens_OReiley says:
::Sends her damage control teams to their pre-position locations and gets the rest of her crews in place to support operations::
XO_LTCmd_Mea`e says:
:: As the lift stops, she steps off.::  *CMO*: It was a long shot doctor.  But maybe something more along those lines.
XO_LTCmd_Mea`e says:
:: walks over to the command chair.::  CO:  Captain, whoever took those Cardassians, must have known we would eventually discover what happened, wouldn't they?
Host CO_Capt_McDuggle says:
XO: I believe so we have 2 Cardassian ships on LRS now which we should be at in 10 minutes.
CMO_Redwood says:
::leaves the console doing a scan while he goes to prepare sickbay in normal red-alert routines::
CEO_Ens_OReiley says:
::Monitors Bridge communications and stays near the MSD to keep a close eye on ship's systems::
XO_LTCmd_Mea`e says:
CO: A trap?  For us?
Host CO_Capt_McDuggle says:
XO: It could be.  Please take over Tactical.
XO_LTCmd_Mea`e says:
:: Lifts a brow and heads over to the tactical station.::
XO_LTCmd_Mea`e says:
:: Nods to ensign Tomlison as he steps aside.::
Host SM_Sam says:
ACTION: The Cardie ships spot the Arondight, and begin an intercept course.
Host CO_Capt_McDuggle says:
NoDuz: Lets see if they want to talk? Hail the Cardassian ship.
CMO_Redwood says:
::gets back to his console and ponders the results::
XO_LTCmd_Mea`e says:
:: Looks over at science and nods that she is tying into sensors, then looks down at the tactical readouts.::
Host CO_Capt_McDuggle says:
<NoDuz> CO: Aye Sir :: hails the Cardassian ships::
XO_LTCmd_Mea`e says:
CO: Their shields are up, but their weapons are not online.
Host SM_Sam says:
@<Cardie Ship>: COM: Arondight: Is there something we can help you with?
CEO_Ens_OReiley says:
::Monitors ship's systems and the chatter on the Bridge as the Arondight closes the distance::
XO_LTCmd_Mea`e says:
:: Pulls the docs data and inputs into sensors, searching for a match of bio signs.::
Host CO_Capt_McDuggle says:
COM: Cardie ship: Why yes you can. It seems that we are missing a couple of your people and our investigation has led us to believe that they have been transported here.
Host SM_Sam says:
@<Cardie Ship>: COM: Arondight: Our people?
XO_LTCmd_Mea`e says:
:: Quietly::  CO: Captain, they are of the Union, not the New Order.
CMO_Redwood says:
::goes over all the scans and compares them with normal levels::
Host CO_Capt_McDuggle says:
COM: Cardie ship: Yes they were the diplomat sent to talk with the Federation about a peaceful resolution to this war.
Host CO_Capt_McDuggle says:
XO: Thank you that may help.
XO_LTCmd_Mea`e says:
:: Nods to Tomlinson to take over and quietly walks over to the captains side.::
Host SM_Sam says:
@<Cardie Ship>: COM: Arondight: Well diplomats or not, we are in a state of war on this side, we hope can wipe out the New Order.
XO_LTCmd_Mea`e says:
:: Facing the captain and away from the view screen, she lowers her voice.::  CO: The missing are found... ::angles her head towards the view screen.::
Host CO_Capt_McDuggle says:
COM: Cardie ship: Then you wouldn't have a problem with letting us scan your ship then?
Host CO_Capt_McDuggle says:
:: nods to NoDuz to mute the COM::
Host SM_Sam says:
@<Cardie Ship>: COM: Arondight: As much as I want to help you Captain, unfortunately I cannot allow you to search my ship as we do have sensitive material that will help us in the war.
Host CO_Capt_McDuggle says:
XO: what do you have?
XO_LTCmd_Mea`e says:
:: Keeping her back to the screen::  CO: I scanned their ship for the biosigns the doctor had as well as we of our 'guests'.  I am reading them on the ship before us.  They appear in good health... from what readings I have.
Host CO_Capt_McDuggle says:
:: nods to the XO and considers his next move::
XO_LTCmd_Mea`e says:
CO: I am thoroughly confused.  We have a possible traitor on our ship.  The Union has taken what we thought were Cardassians from the New Order...  What do they expect to accomplish?
XO_LTCmd_Mea`e says:
CO: Is there actually a New Order or is that what they want us to believe?
Host CO_Capt_McDuggle says:
::nods to NoDuz to unmute the COM:: COM: Cardie ship: How about if we just do a bio scan  which will not pick up any of you sensitive material?
CEO_Ens_OReiley says:
::Continues to monitor events and systems as events unfold::
Host SM_Sam says:
@<Cardie Ship>: COM: Arondight: I still cannot allow you to do that.  ::Nods to his weapons officer::
Host SM_Sam says:
ACTION: The weapons on both ship power up
XO_LTCmd_Mea`e says:
<TO Tomlison> CO: Weapons on both ships have gone red.
Host CO_Capt_McDuggle says:
:: quietly:: XO: If they can keep these peace talk from happening it would not allow this new order to get a foot hold with the Federation.
CMO_Redwood says:
::keeps going over the scan in the hopes he can find more info::
Host CO_Capt_McDuggle says:
TO: If they fire you are authorized to disable their ship.
XO_LTCmd_Mea`e says:
:: Looks at Tomlison::¨*CMO/CEO*: Prepare for incoming.
TO_Ens_Tomlinson says:
:: Nods his head, prepared to fire at the first provocation.::
CEO_Ens_OReiley says:
*XO*: Ship's systems are ready.
CMO_Redwood says:
::acknowledges the XO and gets up::
Host CO_Capt_McDuggle says:
NoDuz: Inform the other ships that if we are fired on they are free to return fire.
Host SM_Sam says:
ACTION: Weapons light up on the Cardassian ship as they open fire on all three ships
Host CO_Capt_McDuggle says:
Duty FCO: Evasive actions.
TO_Ens_Tomlinson says:
:: At the first energy surge, returns fire at the lead vessel, aiming for their weapons port::
CMO_Redwood says:
Self: Can't we go one day without getting into a fight?!
Host CO_Capt_McDuggle says:
XO: If possible try and lock onto the Cardassian diplomat and transport them back aboard.
CEO_Ens_OReiley says:
::Monitors ship's systems as the gunfight begins::
XO_LTCmd_Mea`e says:
TO: Target the forward ship, let the others handle the other vessel.
Host SM_Sam says:
ACTION: Shields hold as multiple phaser blasts hits the shields.
CMO_Redwood says:
::looks for casualty reports to come in::
Host SM_Sam says:
ACTION: The ship rocks as a torpedo hits the shields
XO_LTCmd_Mea`e says:
:: Nods and turns toward science::  SO: Dee, see if you can get a lock.
CEO_Ens_OReiley says:
::Holds onto the MSD and keeps watching for trouble spots::
Host CO_Capt_McDuggle says:
:: holds on to his chair as the ship rocks::
Host SM_Sam says:
ACTION: The Arondight hits the lead ship, minimal effect.
TO_Ens_Tomlinson says:
:: Nods and hits the forward Cardassians with a full spread.::
Host CO_Capt_McDuggle says:
*CEO*: Chief make sure you have those modification online for the new Cardassian weapon.
Host SM_Sam says:
ACTION: A transporter beam is detected as most of the lead's ship crew beams over to the other ship.
XO_LTCmd_Mea`e says:
:: Steps over to science::
XO_LTCmd_Mea`e says:
<SO Dee> XO: I am reading a transport beam from the lead ship.
TO_Ens_Tomlinson says:
:: Continues firing.::
CEO_Ens_OReiley says:
*CO*: They are in effect every time the shields come online now Captain, we made it part of the routine.
Host SM_Sam says:
ACTION: A massive power build up is detected on the lead ship as the second ship warps away.
XO_LTCmd_Mea`e says:
CO: Captain, the lead ship has beamed over most of their crew to their other ship.
XO_LTCmd_Mea`e says:
SO: Lock onto those still aboard that ship and beam them to the bridge.
XO_LTCmd_Mea`e says:
FCO: Prepare to get us out of here.
TO_Ens_Tomlinson says:
XO: I am picking up a massive energy surge on the ship.
XO_LTCmd_Mea`e says:
CO: Expensive trap....
XO_LTCmd_Mea`e says:
<SO Dee> XO: I am not reading anyone left on the lead ship.
XO_LTCmd_Mea`e says:
FCO: Get us out of here now... follow that other ship.
TO_Ens_Tomlinson says:
:: Keeps a tactical lock on the fleeing vessel.::
Host SM_Sam says:
ACTION: As the Lead ship explodes, the Arondight follows the fleeing ship.  But the other two ship fail to hit the warp button and catch the shockwave of the explosion.
Host CO_Capt_McDuggle says:
:: watches as they leave the area to avoid the exploding ship::

XO_LTCmd_Mea`e says:
CO: What are the odds we will be blamed for the destruction of that ship?
CMO_Redwood says:
::glad he hasn’t had any major casualties yet::
Host CO_Capt_McDuggle says:
XO: About the same as it was for us getting blamed for the missing Cardassians.
XO_LTCmd_Mea`e says:
:: Turns::  TO: I want all sensor readings of the last half hour immediately uploaded and sent to HQ.
XO_LTCmd_Mea`e says:
*CEO/CMO*: Damage report
XO_LTCmd_Mea`e says:
<SO Dee> XO: Our other two ships were caught in the shockwave.
Host CO_Capt_McDuggle says:
XO: Any word on how the other 2 ship faired?
CMO_Redwood says:
*XO*: Minor casualties... nothing we can't handle.
XO_LTCmd_Mea`e says:
SO: Their status?
TO_Ens_Tomlinson says:
:: Nods and quickly gathers the information and sends.::
CEO_Ens_OReiley says:
*XO*: Shields are down to 50% but only minor damage. I recommend we recycle the shields before we get into any more bashing contests.
XO_LTCmd_Mea`e says:
CO: Well, at least with that sending, it is noted what happened as is, as there is no time for us to have doctored the events.  Not that that would hold in the Cardassian court, but it will in ours, which is all I care about at the moment.
XO_LTCmd_Mea`e says:
<SO Dee> CO/XO: They had minor damage.  Main power on both ships are offline.   Shields down and propulsion out.  It will take them some time to get things back up.
CEO_Ens_OReiley says:
::Dispatches damage control teams to deal with the minor damage they can get to without going EVA::
XO_LTCmd_Mea`e says:
CO: Do we go back or have the station send out a rescue team?
Host CO_Capt_McDuggle says:
SO: Roger thanks  NoDuz: Contact Starfleet and let them know what has happened and see if they can send a couple of ships to help the other one.
XO_LTCmd_Mea`e says:
*CEO*: We are heading after the rogues.  Do what you can in the time you think we have.
Host CO_Capt_McDuggle says:
XO; I believe they can hold out till some one get here from the station. Right now I want that other ship.
CEO_Ens_OReiley says:
*XO*: Understood. The systems aren't really damaged, it's just the shields need to be recycled to bring the field strength back up. They didn't really take any damage to the generators.
TO_Ens_Tomlinson says:
CO: Cardassian vessel heading toward the border and back into their territory.
Host CO_Capt_McDuggle says:
TO: Lets see if we can't stop it before it gets there.
TO_Ens_Tomlinson says:
CO: We will not be able to catch them before they head over the border.
Host CO_Capt_McDuggle says:
TO: Then we might have to cross the border ourselves. Either way the answers to our questions lie on that ship.
XO_LTCmd_Mea`e says:
:: Rubs the brow of her nose with a sigh::  CO: I almost feel as if we need to go over there, just to get our facts straight.
CEO_Ens_OReiley says:
::Recycles the shields to bring the field back to full strength::
TO_Ens_Tomlinson says:
CO: At present speed, we will there in five minutes, we will be in Cardassian territory.
