Host XO_Farrel says:
First officers log Stardate 10304.25: The captain has been recalled to starbase 185, and I find myself already in a precarious position.  The Hanthrosians are demanding the release of the shuttle pilot we beamed aboard, but I believe this pilot is part of the Havriendor order, the same group that attacked me.  If I release him to the
Hanthrosians I loose the only lead I have on this group, and if I refuse to release him it could cause an interstellar incident.

<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<< Begin "Puzzled" part 3 >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>

Host XO_Farrel says:
::Sitting center chair, frowning as the countdown begins.::

OPS_Mades says:
::manning his station on the bridge where the tension is thick enough to see, wonders what Hali is going to do::

CTO_Peters says:
::Reaching the bottom of the stairs, Zoe crawls through the JT's with Topper close on her heals.::

Host SM_Sergio says:
ACTION : The two Hanthrosian ships still poised on each side of the Artemis loom, waiting..

CSO_KTor says:
::Sitting at Science 1, scanning the area for anything that could give us a tactical advantage::

FCO_Teasley says:
::at the helm::

Host XO_Farrel says:
::Sighs, weighing the two actions...turning to OPS:: OPS: Mr. Mades, beam the pilot to the Hanthrosians...

FCO_Teasley says:
XO: Are you sure that's the right thing to do?

OPS_Mades says:
XO: Sure thing.  ::relieved, he turns to his station and notifies the Hanthrosians of the incoming transport, waiting for coordinates from them before beginning the transport::

CTO_Peters says:
::Reaching the end she reverses herself so her feet are at the hatchway.  Heaving her feet back and with all her might she slams them against the hatch and it goes flying onto the floor.  Quickly she moves out of the JT with Topper behind her.  Looking back Topper nods and takes the lead.::

Host XO_Farrel says:
FCO: No, but I cant risk a war over this...we'll just have to hope we can work out some arrangement once the negotiations begin.

Host Hanthrosian says:
@COMM Artemis : Thank you Artemis... We will take him over...

FCO_Teasley says:
XO: Maybe we can get over to meet with their superiors now

Host Hanthrosian says:
ACTION : From sickbay, comes a report that the shuttle pilot has vanished.

CTO_Peters says:
<Topper> ::Reaching the door to waste management, he enters and spots one of the crewman.::  Crewman:  Out...

Host Hanthrosian says:
@COMM Artemis : You may now proceed to Hanthros Prime.

CEO_Russel says:
::Walks into the shuttle bay.::  LtJG_Bridges:  Report!

CTO_Peters says:
<Crewman> ::Looking startled he stutters his reply...but looks once more into his chiefs face he scrambles out. ::

OPS_Mades says:
XO:  Sickbay reports the pilot is gone.  ::wrinkles his brow::  That was different.

OPS_Mades says:
Self:  That wasn't like any transporter I've ever seen.  ::looks over the logs inquisitively::

Host XO_Farrel says:
OPS: So they can beam right through our shields...that makes me wonder what their weapons can do.

Host Hanthrosian says:
ACTION : The two ships move off, heading in a different direction, and enter warp.

OPS_Mades says:
XO: Starfleet wants them for a reason.  I guess that was a glimpse.

Host XO_Farrel says:
FCO: Set a course for Hanthros Prime warp7, engage

FCO_Teasley says:
XO: Aye ma'am

CTO_Peters says:
Topper:  Nice way with the men...  ::She watches as Topper reaches under one of the disposal units with his hand.  She could hear him type something onto a PADD and the facade was a small corner underneath the unit disappears revealing a container.  She moves and enters her password into the container.::

FCO_Teasley says:
::sets course and engages the warp drive

CTO_Peters says:
::As the container opens she sees the special stash of weapons are still concealed.  She reaches underneath her tunic and pulls out the book and places it inside.::

OPS_Mades says:
::leaning back a bit into his chair, relaxing now that most of the tension is gone::  XO: So, what are you going to say to these people when we get there?

CTO_Peters says:
::Resealing the container she moves back then stands up.:: Topper:  Make sure the transport inhibitors are closely contained around that box.   As a matter of fact seal this part of the area off even the technicians cannot service this unit until further notice.  She runs a hand through her hair.  Hopefully this will be enough.::

CTO_Peters says:
<Topper> CTO:  Understood Ma'am.  I'll take care of it personally.

Host XO_Farrel says:
OPS: That depends on what they tell me.

CEO_Russel says:
<LtJG_Bridges>  ::walks over to the CEO.::  CEO:  The warp core breach was caused by our transporters, which ruptured one of the power conduits.  The burn marks on the hull were made by some sort of phasers, but more powerful than our own, most likely the Hanthrosians'.  We're still trying to analyze the alloy the shuttle's made of.  It's nothing we've seen before.

Host XO_Farrel says:
FCO: ETA?

FCO_Teasley says:
XO: 4 hours ma'am

CTO_Peters says:
::She nods.:: Topper:  Ok I'm going to head back to the bridge.  Have security stepped up.  Oh and place security inside here also.  ::Fatigue seems to overwhelm her.  With a nod she makes her way back out of waste management and towards the nearest TL.::

OPS_Mades says:
::gives Hali a strange look::  XO: Didn't know you were part Vulcan.  ::turns back to his work, the ever-present smirk back::

CTO_Peters says:
::The TL door opens as she walks up to it.  She enters and leans against the back wall.::  Computer:  Bridge.

Host XO_Farrel says:
::Self: okay I have four hours to figure out what to tell these people.::

CEO_Russel says:
::listens carefully.::  LtJG_Bridges:  Good, good.  Keep me posted.  And have a report ready by tomorrow morning.  I'll be on the bridge...  ::walks off towards the doors, then stops.::  Good work.  ::walks out of the shuttle bay.::

CTO_Peters says:
::As the TL moves she hits her commbadge.::  *XO*:  Ma'am...That umm situation I needed to look at in the brig... well it has been safely secured...

Host XO_Farrel says:
OPS: Page Mr. Russel to the bridge...

OPS_Mades says:
::nods::  *CEO*: Chief, the Commander would like you on the bridge.

CEO_Russel says:
::Walks to the TL.  Taps his commbadge.::  *OPS*:  Aye.  On my way.  Russel out.  ::enters the TL.::  Computer:  Bridge.

OPS_Mades says:
::gets a cramp in his right leg.  Stretches it out to relieve the minor pain::

OPS_Mades says:
::the pain, not going away, gets a bit worse.  Christian jumps out of his seat and starts walking around the bridge, limping slightly::

Host XO_Farrel says:
*CTO*: Glad to hear it, report back to the bridge.

FCO_Teasley says:
OPS: Christian, are you all right?

CTO_Peters says:
::Taps her commbadge again.::  Topper:  I forgot in our haste.  We have a weapon in the transport buffer from our guest could you please retrieve it and bring it to the bridge..

OPS_Mades says:
Self:  Ow... ow.. ow..   ::smiles as the pain starts to calm down::  FCO:  Charley horse.

CTO_Peters says:
<Topper>  ::Making his way out of waste management.::  *CTO*:  I’m on it…  Give me about 15...

FCO_Teasley says:
OPS: I've had those, they're not fun at all

Host XO_Farrel says:
::looks over:: OPS: Maybe you should get that looked at.

CTO_Peters says:
*XO*:  I'll be there in about 2 seconds....::Right on cue the TL doors open.::

CEO_Russel says:
::Exits the TL onto the bridge and walks down to Hali.::  XO:  Hey.

CTO_Peters says:
::She steps out onto the bridge and takes her station.  Gives a quick look to the XO.::

OPS_Mades says:
::rubs his leg::  XO:  Oh, probably just holding it a little too tense during that countdown.  I'll be fine.  If it happens again I'll go see the doc.  ::sits back down::

Host XO_Farrel says:
CEO/CTO: Good timing, both of you...  ::Gets up from her chair.::  we have a problem, the Hanthrosians can beam right through our shields, they took the man in sickbay without a hitch.  

CTO_Peters says:
<Topper> ::Finally entering the TR he nods to the chief in charge.:: Chief:  I believe you holding a weapon in the buffer?

CEO_Russel says:
XO:  Ah...  I see...

CTO_Peters says:
<Chief> ::Nods:: Topper:  I am, just waiting for one of you guys to pick it up.  ::His hands move up the console and a shimmering light appears on the Transporter PADD as the weapon materializes.. at least he hopes.::

Host XO_Farrel says:
CEO/CTO: I want some kind of defense against their technology.  If their transporters can punch through our shields, then it's likely their weapons can too.  Is there any way we can use the wreckage from the shuttle to create some kind of defense against their technology?

Host Hanthrosian says:
ACTION : The weapons has a small sleekly design hilt. No apparent blades can be seen, but there is a big red button on the bottom of the hilt

CTO_Peters says:
::Looks up Sharply:: XO:  Oh man, not good...  ::Thinks a moment::  Maybe...if their technology is compatible with ours but it would take time.

CEO_Russel says:
XO:  Maybe, but I don't see how.  Most of it burned up.

CTO_Peters says:
<Topper>  ::Admiring the weapons hilt he picks it up on the Transporter PADD.  His finger hovers over the red button.::  Self:  I wonder...

Host XO_Farrel says:
CTO/CEO: I understand that the shuttle is made of some special alloy, it's not enough to protect the ship...but what about using it on one of the smaller shuttle pods, or some torpedo casings?  A weapon might be the best defense we could have...

CTO_Peters says:
<Topper>  ::Taking a deep breath, he holds the hilt away from him, horizontal to his body.::  Self:  Let's hope it goes up and down  ::Presses the red button::

CEO_Russel says:
XO:  If we were able to beam from the shuttle, I don't see how the alloy could have protected him from the Hanthrosians’ transporters...

Host Hanthrosian says:
ACTION : A sharp medium sized blade materializes quickly on the side opposite to the button... And the button turns blue

CEO_Russel says:
XO:  ... unless we only got him because the hull was cracked...

CTO_Peters says:
::Not hearing the XO.:: XO:  Ma'am we may have another problem.. The Hanthrosians may try to remove something else from this ship... if they took the prisoner they can take this also.

CTO_Peters says:
<Topper> ::looks in awe:: Out loud:  Magnificent.

CTO_Peters says:
<Topper> ::Examining the weapon he walks out of the TR leaving a miffed Chief behind.::

Host XO_Farrel says:
CTO: Right... CEO: Matt, it's worth a try, we need a casing built about nay big and high...about the size of a book say.  ::hopes he realizes what she's needing if for.:: and if there's enough left I’d like to make some torpedoes out of it.

CTO_Peters says:
<Topper>  ::Seeing the look on peoples faces as they look at the weapon he pushes the button once more.::

CEO_Russel says:
::looks at her.::  XO:  I don't know, Hali.  I doubt it'll work, but I'll get a team on it.

Host Hanthrosian says:
ACTION : The blade disappears, and in it's place, a neural whip materializes. The button turns yellow

Host XO_Farrel says:
CEO: Okay.

CEO_Russel says:
XO:  I'll tell my investigation team to concentrate on the shuttle's shielding system, if any of it is left.  In the mean time, I'll take a look at the sensor records of the transport and see what I can come up with.

CTO_Peters says:
<Topper>  ::He cracks the whip.:: Self:  Cool!  ::pushes the yellow button::

Host XO_Farrel says:
CEO: Okay, and I’d like that smaller casing ready for our arrival at Hanthros Prime.

Host Hanthrosian says:
ACTION : The whip dematerializes, and the "head" assembly of a hand phaser appears in it's place. The button turns green

CEO_Russel says:
XO:  Aye.

CTO_Peters says:
*Rice*:  Rice, increase security down in waste management now.  No one in, no one out.  Place transport inhibitors all around the area.

CSO_KTor says:
::Raises an eyebrow at the XO's request, but continues working::

CTO_Peters says:
*CTO*:  Err Aye Ma'am.... ::Thinks the Lt. has lost her marbles because why would anyone want to steal their waste.::

CEO_Russel says:
::nods at the XO and CTO, then walks to the CSO.::

OPS_Mades says:
::overhears the CTO.  Turns around with a look on his face that says "did you hit your head?"::

CSO_KTor says:
::Turns to Russel:: CEO: Sir?

CTO_Peters says:
<Topper>  ::Stops in the middle of the hallway....::  Self:  Oh man, what a fabulous weapons...I want one!  ::Taps his commbadge.::  *CTO*:  You need to see this!  This is more then just a weapon.  It's a multi-weapon, you could equate it to earth’s old Swiss Army knives.   ::Pushes the green button to see what he will get next.::

CEO_Russel says:
CSO:  I need you to analyze the alloy the shuttle was made of.  There's an element we can't identify and until we do, we can't replicate it.

CTO_Peters says:
::Smiles Sweetly at Christian.::

CSO_KTor says:
CEO: Yes sir. If you could have it sent to science lab 1, I'll get down there right now.

CTO_Peters says:
*Topper*:  Huh.....  You saying he was carrying a pocket knife?

CEO_Russel says:
CSO:  Excellent.  I'll see to it.

FCO_Teasley says:
OPS: Christian, she's giving you that look ::motions toward the CTO::

OPS_Mades says:
::turns back around muttering to himself::  Self:  We are all mad here...

Host Hanthrosian says:
ACTION : The Phaser head de-materializes, and it's again a simple hilt.

CSO_KTor says:
::Logs out of his console and walks over to the TL, hitting the button::

OPS_Mades says:
::shakes his head at the FCO::

CTO_Peters says:
<Topper>  ::Begins walking again and the TL arrives as he gets there.::  CTO:  It's bigger then that, but I'm just saying that it's the same principle...  Multiple weapons in one.  I've found a sword, whip and phaser so far.

CEO_Russel says:
::Walks to the OPS.::  OPS:  Lt. Mades, can you beam a piece of the wreckage to the science lab 1, please?

CTO_Peters says:
XO:  Ma'am, we may have part of an answer once Topper makes it to the bridge... He has retrieved the weapon from the transport buffer.  He seems quite in awe of it.

OPS_Mades says:
::shrugs:: CEO: Sure.  ::hits a few buttons to carry out the work::

Host XO_Farrel says:
CTO: Hmm, I hope so.

CTO_Peters says:
<Topper> ::Looks at the hilt that is now in his hands and admires the handiwork.::

CEO_Russel says:
OPS:  Thanks.  ::Walks to the turbolift.::

FCO_Teasley says:
::keeps in the ship on course::

CTO_Peters says:
<Topper> ::TL Stops and he steps out onto the bridge.  He walks over to Zoe and hands her the hilt with a big grin on his face.::

CSO_KTor says:
::Steps into a turbolift:: Computer: Deck 4. ::Holds the door for Russel::

CEO_Russel says:
::Enters the turbolift.::  CSO:  Thanks.

CEO_Russel says:
Computer: shuttle bay.

CTO_Peters says:
<Topper> CTO:  Go on, push the red button...  ::Grins::

CTO_Peters says:
::She takes the weapon and motions for everyone to move back.:: ALL:  I guess we may want to take a look but please stand back.

CTO_Peters says:
<Topper>  CTO:  Hold it away from you though..  ::hums::

CTO_Peters says:
::Pushes the red button and the blade appears.  She turns it around examining every facet.. She notices the button has turned blue.::

Host XO_Farrel says:
::Moves back, but is curious too, against her better judgement::

CTO_Peters says:
All:  Nice workmanship.... ::Tests the balance.:: Balanced beautifully.

FCO_Teasley says:
XO: When this mission is over, can I have permission to take the senior staff for a couple games of "Commandos" in the holodeck ma'am

CTO_Peters says:
::Pushes the blue button and the whip appears and the button turns yellow.::

Host XO_Farrel says:
::Raises eyebrow and grins slightly:: FCO: I guess we could all use some combat training, but clear it with the CTO first.

CTO_Peters says:
::Cracks the whip.... then pushes the button once again and the phaser appears.::  All:  Ah, here we go.  ::Grins::  An example of their phaser technology.

CEO_Russel says:
::exits the TL and heads off towards the shuttle bay.::  CSO:  Keep me posted!

CSO_KTor says:
::Steps off the TL with the CEO:: CEO: Yes, sir. ::Turns away towards the science lab::

Host XO_Farrel says:
CTO: Can we make a ship-to-ship weapon out of that?

CEO_Russel says:
::Walks to the shuttle bay and enters.::  LtJG_Bridges:  Lieutenant!

CEO_Russel says:
<LtJG_Bridges>  ::turns and walks to the CEO.::  CEO:  Yes, sir?

CSO_KTor says:
::Steps into the science lab, opens the storage container, and gets out the hull fragment::

CTO_Peters says:
XO:  Hmmm not sure...  ::Examines more closely.::   I don't think this is Hanthrosian.. not consistent with what we have seen before.... hmmm Since it was on our prisoner and he is not what he seems...Do you think that maybe he could part of this persons Order?   ::Picks up her tricorder.::

CEO_Russel says:
LtJG_Bridges:  I want you and your team to concentrate on the shuttle's shielding system, find out what you can about it.

CEO_Russel says:
<LtJG_Bridges> CEO:  Aye, sir.

CSO_KTor says:
::Starts scanning the hull fragment::

Host XO_Farrel says:
CTO: I guess so.  Is the phaser more powerful than ours?

CTO_Peters says:
::Checks her readings.::  XO:  The phaser has a federation signature...., the blade is a.....standard....alloy.... and the whip.....hmmm looks like one of those Ferengi neural whips.

Host XO_Farrel says:
CTO: Hmm, so the phaser is just as powerful as ours?

CEO_Russel says:
::taps commbadge::  *EO_Smith*:  Ensign Smith, report to the shuttle bay with your team.  I want you to take pieces of the hull and make a small container out of it.  Rectangular, big enough to hold a toolkit.

CTO_Peters says:
::Tosses the PADD over to the XO.::  XO:  On cursory examination yes.  I'd have to do a more in-depth study to see if maybe it what whoever owns this weapon wants us to believe.

CEO_Russel says:
<EO_Smith>  *CEO*:  Er...  aye sir.  ::gives a puzzled look to the rest of his team.  They shrug and he shakes his head.  They head out of ME.::

CEO_Russel says:
::Walks out of the shuttle bay.::

CSO_KTor says:
::Reads scan results:: *XO/CEO*: I have analyzed the hull fragment. It is an alloy of known metals plus one unknown element. Sensors cannot penetrate this element, and we will not be able to replicate it.

Host XO_Farrel says:
CTO: Work with Russel, see if you can use the hand held weapon to modify the power of the ship's phasers.  If it has a Federation signature, I’m hoping the principles will be the same.

CTO_Peters says:
::Nods:: XO:  It should be.

FCO_Teasley says:
CTO: Did you hear my idea for when this mission is over?

Host XO_Farrel says:
*CSO* What kind of properties does it have?  Could it be highly explosive?  is it reflective or blocking sensor scans?

CEO_Russel says:
*CSO*:  I see...  try more "primitive" methods.  If our ancestors could find out what an atom looks like, you should be able to find out what molecules of this element look like, right?

CEO_Russel says:
::Enters the TL.::  Computer:  Main Engineering.

CSO_KTor says:
*CEO*: Uh... yes sir. *XO*: I'm going to try some other scans. It could be part of the sensor-blocking system.

CSO_KTor says:
::Starts programming the local transporters to remove all the known metals::

Host XO_Farrel says:
*CSO* Okay, also check if it could be made highly explosive in anyway, I mean I’m hoping to use it as a weapon...take the highest precautions.

CTO_Peters says:
::Looks up and smiles.::  FCO:  I did...  You can count on the tactical section to be there... hmmm maybe a good time to see what they can do.  How about the ship against my tactical teams?

CSO_KTor says:
*XO*: Yes sir.

CEO_Russel says:
::Exits the TL and walks to his office.  Sits down at his desk and begins to review the sensor logs of the transport.::

FCO_Teasley says:
CTO: Sounds good, but you can't go in with phasers blazing everywhere

CTO_Peters says:
::Chuckles:: FCO:  No fun in doing that now.   Your on.
