Captain's Log 10902.22
Host CO_Capt_McDuggle says:
We are currently sitting nose to nose with a Romulan Ship in the middle of Klingon space. Either we are about to become heroes with the biggest defection in recent history or we have screwed up royally. Only time will tell.
Host CO_Capt_McDuggle says:

Host SM_Sam says:
<<<<<<<<<<<<<<< Escort Mission VII >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>
CEO_LtJG_OReiley says:
::Standing at the Master Systems Display monitoring ship systems and listening to the Bridge chatter on speaker while getting her Damage Control teams in place::
XO_LtCmd_Mea`e says:
:: Down in holo deck with a group of young ensigns, torn between humor and annoyance, at the sound of the red alert, she buries the humor and gives a good glare at the men in annoyance.::  All:  Seal the room up to deal with later.  We are at red alert, get to your stations.
CMO_Dr_Redwood says:
::in sickbay::
Host CO_Capt_McDuggle says:
:: looking at the picture on the view screen:: OPS: Hail that ship.
XO_LtCmd_Mea`e says:
:: Without waiting further, she turned on her heal and headed for the left, trying hard not to shake her head.  She made a note to tell Oday about the incident.::
Host CO_Capt_McDuggle says:
<NoDuz> CO: Aye Captain. :: tries to hail the Romulan ship::
Host SM_Sam says:
ACTION: The Hail goes unanswered.
XO_LtCmd_Mea`e says:
:: Stepping onto the lift, she ordered it to the bridge.  There, she stepped off and headed over toward science.::  SO:  Wilbur, quick brief please.
CMO_Dr_Redwood says:
::preparing Sickbay for arrivals, checking stocks at each bed::
Host CO_Capt_McDuggle says:
<NoDuz> CO: No Response Captain.
CEO_LtJG_OReiley says:
::Makes sure all unneeded systems are offline to conserve power, the shields are reinforced, and the structural integrity and inertial dampers are at maximum::
Host SM_Sam says:
<SO_Wilbur>: XO: We were able to track this huge object that almost hit us and found out that this was that huge object.
Host CO_Capt_McDuggle says:
CTO: Cmdr can you get any scan of that ship.
CTO-LtCmdr-Exeter says:
:: does a few scans of the ship:: CO working on it ::sniffs::
Host SM_Sam says:
ACTION: The Arondight is hit with a scanning beam.  No damage done.
XO_LtCmd_Mea`e says:
SO:  Almost hit us?  As in they went straight for us or... :: turns to look at the screen.::
Host CO_Capt_McDuggle says:
:: hears the CTO's sniffles:: CTO: You not feeling well?
Host SM_Sam says:
<SO_Wilbur>: XO: I don't think so, I think it is how large this ship is and how big that hole was.
CTO-LtCmdr-Exeter says:
CO: I'm allergic to Romulans sir and I might have a cold sir
CMO_Dr_Redwood says:
::moves to the next bed::
XO_LtCmd_Mea`e says:
:: Nods as she listens and waits for the captain’s next orders.::
Host CO_Capt_McDuggle says:
CTO: I have the same allergy when it comes to the Romulans. :: smiles:: If you feel you need to report to sick bay.
XO_LtCmd_Mea`e says:
:: As Exeter's words finally penetrate her brain, she turns to look at him with a frown.::
CEO_LtJG_OReiley says:
::Continues to monitor events on the speakers as she coordinates her people::
Host SM_Sam says:
<SO_Wilbur>: CO: Captain we have just been scanned.
Host CO_Capt_McDuggle says:
SO: Anything in that they seemed interested in?
XO_LtCmd_Mea`e says:
:: Then she looks at the captain and shakes her head::  CO/CTO:  The Romulans are like any other species with their good and their bad.
CTO-LtCmdr-Exeter says:
CO: Just a cold, last time had it on earth  4oo years of modern medicine and they can't find a cure for the common cold
Host SM_Sam says:
<SO_Wilbur>: CO: Nope nothing in particular, it seems like a general scan.
CMO_Dr_Redwood says:
MO: Get me a replacement hypo spray here... !
Host CO_Capt_McDuggle says:
XO: I can't seem to shake the feeling that we have been had.
XO_LtCmd_Mea`e says:
CO: As I was not here until the red alert sounded... :: she shook her head::  ... it will be in my report, why do you feel as if you have been had?
CTO-LtCmdr-Exeter says:
XO; Any look at history it is not like we are biased they do tend to follow their stereo type ma'am
Host CO_Capt_McDuggle says:
XO: Ever hear of baiting a trap Cmdr?
XO_LtCmd_Mea`e says:
CTO: Perhaps to those you meet, but it does not hold true on their worlds.

XO_LtCmd_Mea`e says:
CO: Aye, sir.
Host SM_Sam says:
ACTION: The Romulan ship begins to cloak.
CMO_Dr_Redwood says:
::takes a replacement tool off an MO and places it in place::
Host CO_Capt_McDuggle says:
XO: Well Cmdr  I have a feeling that we just took this one hook, line and sinker.
CTO-LtCmdr-Exeter says:
XO: The chance of meeting those Romulans would be rather rare seeing that the chance of survival  by passing the neutral zone is very low
XO_LtCmd_Mea`e says:
:: Looking at the screen::  CO:  They drew us to the sensor hole and then slipped by us to do some mischief in Klingon space... possibly disrupting our new station arrangement?
CTO-LtCmdr-Exeter says:
CO: More of a Klingon matter if you ask me sir
Host CO_Capt_McDuggle says:
XO: Or drew us out here to let some one else slip through that sensor hole.
XO_LtCmd_Mea`e says:
:: frowns::
XO_LtCmd_Mea`e says:
CO: Then we go back or try to follow a ship that is now cloaked?
CMO_Dr_Redwood says:
::sees all is ok and nods in satisfaction::
Host CO_Capt_McDuggle says:
XO: We go Back and let Captain Hung and the station deal with this threat.
Host CO_Capt_McDuggle says:
OPS: Send a message to the station that they may have company shortly and just who it might be.
XO_LtCmd_Mea`e says:
:: Nods::
Host CO_Capt_McDuggle says:
FCO: Take us back to the sensor.
CTO-LtCmdr-Exeter says:
CO: Shouldn't we warn Klingon high command as well sir?
Host SM_Sam says:
<FCO_Flight>: CO: Aye back to the sensor post.
Host CO_Capt_McDuggle says:
SO: Make sure that all of our records on this ship are included in the message to the station.
Host SM_Sam says:
<SO_Wilbur>: CO: Aye Captain, do you want me to continue to track the Romulan ship?
CMO_Dr_Redwood says:
::walks to the other side of Sickbay, double checking everything::
Host CO_Capt_McDuggle says:
SO: Yes as long as you can and include the route in the message as well.
XO_LtCmd_Mea`e says:
:: Leaning back against the console, she stares out the screen, her thoughts moving back and forth and around what this could possibly mean.::
Host CO_Capt_McDuggle says:
CTO: I figure the Admiral will do that as that is part of his job.
Host SM_Sam says:
<SO_Wilbur>: CO: Aye Captain.
CTO-LtCmdr-Exeter says:
CO: Well, I know admirals sir and they tend to be absent minded as soon as they get bumped up from captain sir

Host CO_Capt_McDuggle says:
*CEO*: Chief we are going back to the sensor post so get your team ready.
Host SM_Sam says:
ACTION: The Arondight warps back to the sensor post.
CEO_LtJG_OReiley says:
::Gets her Engineers and tools back together and sends them back to the transporter room:: *CO*: Already on it Captain.
Host CO_Capt_McDuggle says:
CTO: Good point.  OPS: Notify the Klingons as well.
CMO_Dr_Redwood says:
::feels the ship warp and wonders where they are headed now::
Host CO_Capt_McDuggle says:
CTO: Take us to yellow alert.
CEO_LtJG_OReiley says:
*CTO*: I'll need to borrow a Security team for escort again Commander, if you could, transporter room 3.
CTO-LtCmdr-Exeter says:
CO: Aye Yellow alert sir.:: Sets ship to yellow alert and charges phasers and torpedoes::
Host CO_Capt_McDuggle says:
<NoDuz> CO: Aye Captain :: sends the Klingon the same message as they did the station::
Host CO_Capt_McDuggle says:
CTO: once we are back at the sensor start scanning for any warp or impulse trail leading either to or from Romulan space.
CTO-LtCmdr-Exeter says:
CO: Aye sir
CTO-LtCmdr-Exeter says:
*CEO*: ON it's way lieutenant ::orders three security officers to report to transporter room 3::
Host SM_Sam says:
<FCO_Flight>: CO: Captain we are approaching the station, slowing down to impulse.
CEO_LtJG_OReiley says:
::Does a quick check of her team to make sure they have all the parts and tools they will need, and that everyone knows their assignments so they can get right to work::
CTO-LtCmdr-Exeter says:
CO: Starting scanning for engine output now sir :: starts scanning for warp trails::
XO_LtCmd_Mea`e says:
:: Noting the time back to the station had passed rather quickly, she simply waits for further information.::  SO:  Anything on sensors?
Host CO_Capt_McDuggle says:
XO: Something here doesn't fit. Why take a sensor offline knowing that a ship will be dispatched to fix it and investigate why it went off line and then just sit around a wait for it before moving into Klingon space.
Host CO_Capt_McDuggle says:
FCO: Aye take up a position with in transporter range so that we can cover the hole that has been left by the sensor for now.
Host SM_Sam says:
<SO_Wilbur>: XO: From my sensors the space around here has been disturbed a bit more than before we left.
XO_LtCmd_Mea`e says:
CO: Are we so sure that the crew aboard were Romulan?  Perhaps your ruse you were thinking of.
XO_LtCmd_Mea`e says:
:: Looks over and down::  SO: Disturbed by what?
Host CO_Capt_McDuggle says:
:: hears the SO's report:: XO: I am getting that feeling more and more all the time.

CEO_LtJG_OReiley says:
::Finishes the before mission inspection of her team, including the Security detail:: *CO*: Away Team ready to disembark when we get the word Captain.
CTO-LtCmdr-Exeter says:
CO: I suggest we stop the CEO's away team right now sir and move the ship back oh a few million kilometers from the sensor sir!
Host CO_Capt_McDuggle says:
CTO: What are you thinking that maybe some one else may try and slip through?
XO_LtCmd_Mea`e says:
CO:  They did not respond to hails.  They made sure we saw them.  If you were going to show yourself, then talk to us, taunt us even, but nothing?  Unless you cannot respond because you are not who you want the others to believe.
CMO_Dr_Redwood says:
::watches his medical staff all ready themselves::
XO_LtCmd_Mea`e says:
SO: Wilbur check sensor data.  Did you scan their ship for species signature?
CTO-LtCmdr-Exeter says:
CO: I'm thinking booby trap sir.
Host CO_Capt_McDuggle says:
XO: Exactly and we couldn’t get any good scans of the ship to be sure.
Host SM_Sam says:
<SO_Wilbur>: XO: From what I think, and suspect, many smaller ships.
Host CO_Capt_McDuggle says:
CTO: It may be possible but we haven’t been gone that long. Make a full scan of the sensor.
XO_LtCmd_Mea`e says:
:: Keeping Wilbur busy, she logs into the auxiliary station to pull up the sensor logs of the vessel::  SO:  Can you determine their signature?
CTO-LtCmdr-Exeter says:
CO: Aye, full scan, may take a few minutes sir:: starts a full scan of the sensor::
Host CO_Capt_McDuggle says:
CTO: Take all the time it takes I would rather make sure of things before we send anyone in.
Host SM_Sam says:
<SO_Wilbur>: XO:  I could gather a guess.  Romulan Scout ship?  Or possibly a Raptor class.
CMO_Dr_Redwood says:
::chats with a nurse::
XO_LtCmd_Mea`e says:
SO: But could it be Klingon?
Host CO_Capt_McDuggle says:
SO: Can you determine any possible route from your scans?
CTO-LtCmdr-Exeter says:
CO: no people onboard, I'm waiting for explosive devices, but seems clean to me, sir.
CEO_LtJG_OReiley says:
::Stands around with her team discussing repair assignments to make maximum use of personnel in minimum time to make the repair job as short as possible::
Host SM_Sam says:
<SO_Wilbur>: CO: Not that I can distinguish.
Host CO_Capt_McDuggle says:
CTO: Roger We will send the CEO's team in with the express instructions to check thing out before doing any thing.
CTO-LtCmdr-Exeter says:
CO: I rather send a the security officers first then when they cleared the area the CEO sir
XO_LtCmd_Mea`e says:
:: Frowns as she reruns the scans through a filter::  CO: Captain, this is not right... :: shakes her head::  sorry, poor choice of words.  :: she stands up and turns around::  Just before they cloaked, sensors got a brief scan of their vessel.  I am not reading any life forms.
Host CO_Capt_McDuggle says:
*CEO*: Chief we suspect possible booby traps so we are going to send in the security team first.
Host CO_Capt_McDuggle says:
CTO: You have a good bomb squad?
CEO_LtJG_OReiley says:
*CO*: Aye, Aye Captain.
Host CO_Capt_McDuggle says:
XO: As I suspected hook, line and sinker.
Host CO_Capt_McDuggle says:
CTO: Have your security team transport in when ever they are ready.
CTO-LtCmdr-Exeter says:
CO: I think so, they are still alive sir
XO_LtCmd_Mea`e says:
CO: There is that faction of Klingons who do not want this to go through.  So put the blame on another species.  :: lifts a brow::  Once we see them, we should bring up such under handiness as not being very honorable.
CTO-LtCmdr-Exeter says:
CO: Aye :: taps commbadge:: *CEO*: You can order the TC to beam over the security officers when you think they are ready, lieutenant
Host CO_Capt_McDuggle says:
XO: That is a good possibility Cmdr but until we have proof of it we have to go with what we got.
CEO_LtJG_OReiley says:
*CTO*: Understood. ::tells the Security team to do a detailed scan and patrol of the station once they arrive and then report in, making a special look for traps and explosives:: TR_Chief: Hit it Chief.
XO_LtCmd_Mea`e says:
:: nods::
Host SM_Sam says:
ACTION: The Security  team is beamed over.
Host CO_Capt_McDuggle says:
SO: If you think a probe will help go ahead and launch one.
CMO_Dr_Redwood says:
::sees if his scans are done on the DNA samples::
Host SM_Sam says:
<SO_Wilbur>: CO: Aye Captain.
Host SM_Sam says:
ACTION: One of the Security Goons, walks up to the panel and taps it lightly with his phaser.  He then hears a ticking sound.
Host CO_Capt_McDuggle says:
CTO: Have the Fighter squad ready to launch just incase.
Host SM_Sam says:
<SO_Wilbur>: CO: Captain, reading a massive energy build up on the scanning station.
CTO-LtCmdr-Exeter says:
::looks towards the view screen:: self: I have a bad feeling about this
Host CO_Capt_McDuggle says:
OPS: Get those people out of there now.
Host CO_Capt_McDuggle says:
<NoDuz> CO: Aye Captain :: does an emergency transport of the security personal on the sensor::
XO_LtCmd_Mea`e says:
*CMO*: Prepare for emergency.
Host SM_Sam says:
ACTION: Just as the security officer get beamed onto the ship the Sensor Station explodes with a nice array of kablams and kablows.
CMO_Dr_Redwood says:
*XO*: We're ready. ::thinks he's been ready for ages.::
Host CO_Capt_McDuggle says:
FCO: Back us off of that explosion.
XO_LtCmd_Mea`e says:
:: Covers her eyes at the flash, the shields taking the brunt of the explosion.::
CTO-LtCmdr-Exeter says:
CO: Well, sometimes being a bit paranoid helps
Host SM_Sam says:
ACTION: The ship slightly rocks as the shields take the brunt of the explosion.
XO_LtCmd_Mea`e says:
:: Lowers her arm to look at the screen::  SO: Wilbur, as soon as you can, get your hands on some of that debris.  I want to know what type of weapon was set off.
CEO_LtJG_OReiley says:
::Takes her team and tools back to Engineering::
Host SM_Sam says:
<FCO_Flight>: CO: Aye backing off.
Host CO_Capt_McDuggle says:
CTO: That is true and I hope that we got everyone off the sensor before it went.
CTO-LtCmdr-Exeter says:
*CEO*: Body check, how many where saved?
Host CO_Capt_McDuggle says:
<NoDuz> CO: The security team was gotten out before the explosion.
CTO-LtCmdr-Exeter says:
*CEO*: Never mind, OPS already told us
CMO_Dr_Redwood says:
::holds on to something::
XO_LtCmd_Mea`e says:
*CMO*: Looks like you are not needed... at least from those who were aboard the outpost.
CEO_LtJG_OReiley says:
*CTO*: All of your people got back Commander. Mine never went.
Host SM_Sam says:
<SO_Wilbur>: XO: Aye.  Do you want me to directly beam the debris into the cargo hold?
CTO-LtCmdr-Exeter says:
*CEO*: be glad for that Lt.
CMO_Dr_Redwood says:
*XO*: Understood. That's good news.
Host CO_Capt_McDuggle says:
XO: You have the bridge. I have some bad news to tell the Admiral.
CEO_LtJG_OReiley says:
*CTO*: Yes Sir. I'm taking my team back to Engineering now.
XO_LtCmd_Mea`e says:
SO: That would be fine.  Have one of your staff and someone from engineering get down there.
XO_LtCmd_Mea`e says:
CO: Aye, sir.
CTO-LtCmdr-Exeter says:
*CEO*: Understood, we might  have some power problems with the shield emitter chief
Host CO_Capt_McDuggle says:
OPS: Get me the Admiral on the horn and send it to my RR. :: gets up and moves to the RR::
Host SM_Sam says:
ACTION: The CTO's console beeps as he picks up another bomb in the debris.
CEO_LtJG_OReiley says:
*CTO*: I'll do a diagnostic when I get back to Engineering.
CTO-LtCmdr-Exeter says:
XO: We got another bomb in the debris!!!!!!!!!!!!

XO_LtCmd_Mea`e says:
FCO:  Get us out of here...
CTO-LtCmdr-Exeter says:
SO: We didn't beam anything of it over yet, did we?
Host SM_Sam says:
<FCO_Flight>: CO: Aye, course, 329 mark 3, engaging at Warp 1.
XO_LtCmd_Mea`e says:
CTO:  Not yet... :: looks at Wilbur::
Host SM_Sam says:
<SO_Wilbur>: XO: Nope nothing beamed over.
Host CO_Capt_McDuggle says:
:: feels the ship going to warp:: *XO*: Report.
Host SM_Sam says:
ACTION: The bomb explodes as it sends shockwaves.  The Arondight misses the shockwave as it enters warp.
XO_LtCmd_Mea`e says:
*CO*:  Apparently they left us another present in the debris.
CEO_LtJG_OReiley says:
::Enters M.E. and goes to the M.S.D. to start diagnostics::
CMO_Dr_Redwood says:
::let’s go of what he was holding and decides he needs some coffee::
CTO-LtCmdr-Exeter says:
*CEO*: And I think we just saved the ship from a paintjob, yet another bomb chief
Host CO_Capt_McDuggle says:
*XO* : Roger keep me informed. :: Thinks to himself great this day just seems to get better and better::
CEO_LtJG_OReiley says:
*CTO*: Lucky us. I'm doing those diagnostics now.
CTO-LtCmdr-Exeter says:
*CEO*: Thanks, O’Reiley.
XO_LtCmd_Mea`e says:
FCO:  Bring us to a stop.
XO_LtCmd_Mea`e says:
CTO:  See if there are anymore waiting presents.
XO_LtCmd_Mea`e says:
SO:  Once the all clear is given, I want some of those samples.
Host SM_Sam says:
<FCO_Flight>: CO: Aye, full stop.
