Mission Summary 10604.07
 
The USS Charlottetown had reached the border on course to the Larius system. Four minutes out from crossing the border, they were intercepted by the SS Lanion, a hodge-podge of mixed weaponry and little else.
 
The Lanion crew ordered that the Charlottetown halt course, then later agreed that they could send a shuttle across. Shortly after, they were ordered to attack the Charlottetown, by someone unseen.

::paces her cell::
 
MO TPiin:
::sits down in the CO's chair::
 
CTO Quinnis:
::the Turbo lift moves to the Brig level::
 
FCO Adnil:
::turns to the MO:: MO: How does it feel, sir?
 
XO Bauer:
CO: So, how do you want to go about this. I'm not experience in interrogations.
 
MO TPiin:
FCO: I do not feel anything but the chair beneath me.
 
CTO Quinnis:
CO/XO: With all do respect, I believe I can handle this.
 
Trinna:
::knocks the CO backward:: Lanion CO: You fool!
 
FCO Adnil:
MO: Nothing at all? ::just shakes head::
 
XO Bauer:
CO: Captain? ::Looks at CTO then CO::
 
CTO Quinnis:
::the Turbo lift stops and the doors open::
 
CTO Quinnis:
::Quinnis moves out still awaiting an answer::
 
Trinna:
<Lanion CO> Trinna: You were the one that ordered the attack! We acted on your orders, this whole deal goes right back to you!
 
XO Bauer:
::Exits turbo lift with the others::
 
XO Bauer:
CTO: That would be ok with me but, of course it is up to the Captain as to how we proceed.
 
CO Shras:
CTO/XO: Let me do the talking for now
 
CTO Quinnis:
::nods and follows the CO::
 
Trinna:
Lanion CO: Your crew failed to maintain that ship in working form. ::growls in frustration::
 
CO Shras:
:: enter the security area ::
 
XO Bauer:
CO: Aye, Sir ::Thinks - Listening is more my thing::

::Enters brig area::
 
CTO Quinnis:
::Quinnis then moves toward the Brig control panel::
 
FCO Adnil:
::begins to hum the theme to The Brady Bunch as he sits at his console::
 
Trinna:
<Lanion CO> Trinna: Yeah, because you and your confederates held onto the profits and didn't allow for the repairs of the ships you cobbled together. Add, add, add the weaponry, and don’t allow for anything else.
 
CTO Quinnis:
::is frustrated:: Lanion Crew: Enough! Quit your arguing.
 
CTO Quinnis:
::his antennae spike up::
 
CO Shras:
Prisoners: So who is the wise commanding officer of your ....humm .....ship!
 
XO Bauer:
::Watches and learns::
 
CTO Quinnis:
::stands back down and listens to the Captain::
 
Trinna:
::turns on her heel and glares at the Federation personnel:: CO: And who are you?
 
CO Shras:
Trinna: I am the one who was advising you on not getting on my nerves....
 
Trinna:
<Lanion CO> ::watches quietly for a moment:: CO: It is or was my ship, presuming you didn't have it destroyed.
 
CO Shras:
Trinna: but you can call me Captain Shras
 
CO Shras:
LCO: Your ship is being towed, hopefully it will hold on in one piece despite the laws of physics
 
Trinna:
CO: Shras...ah, yes, I've heard of you.
 
CTO Quinnis:
::reaches into the phaser locker under the console and grabs a phaser rifle. he then cradles it for just in case purposes::
 
CO Shras:
Trinna: and you are?
 
XO Bauer:
*MO*: Can you keep close scans on the area and if you feel it safe I guess we can stand down from red alert.
 
Trinna:
<Lanion CO> ::nods:: Self: It'll hold.
 
CTO Quinnis:
::motions to his forward Security officer to back off to the console as Quinnis assumes the position up front near the XO::
 
Trinna:
CO: A nightmare
 
Trinna:
::sits down in a huff:: CO: Why should I talk to you, anyway?
 
XO Bauer:
::Having a hard time not adding his two cents::
 
MO TPiin:
*XO*: Aye, sir.
 
FCO Adnil:
::begins to sing the theme instead of hum::
 
Trinna:
ACTION: The Lanion's CO collapses and begins to convulse, foam oozes from his mouth.
 
CO Shras:
Trinna: Maybe because you attacked us and that you will probably be taken to a Federation court and then convicted and sent to prison.....
 
CTO Quinnis:
*MO*: Medical Emergency in the Brig!
 
CO Shras:
CTO: Transport him to sickbay
 
XO Bauer:
CO: Sound like good reasons to cooperate to me, Sir.
 
CTO Quinnis:
::moves to the Console and begins Transport::
 
Trinna:
::shrugs:: CO: I'll take my chances.
 
XO Bauer:
::Looks at the sick CO::
 
MO TPiin:
*Sickbay*: Medical team to the Brig.
 
XO Bauer:
CO: Must have been something you said. ::Smiles::
 
CTO Quinnis:
*MO*: Belay that Doctor, the patient is in Sickbay.
 
Trinna:
ACTION: The Lanion CO materializes in Sickbay.
 
CO Shras:
XO: Why don't you search Starfleet database for our friends here, I'll bet a few of them might already be wanted somewhere....
 
CO Shras:
CTO: Send a team there to guard the sickbay
 
Trinna:
CO: I'll join my CO before I would go to trial.
 
CTO Quinnis:
::moves toward the CO and stands by him::
 
FCO Adnil:
::raises an eyebrow as he listens:: Self: Nice guest... getting sick like that.
 
XO Bauer:
CO: Ok I'll retrieve the data from their own files, from their ship in tow, I should be able to break their codes
 
Trinna:
XO: Give it a good try, I'm sure you won't find a thing.
 
XO Bauer:
CO: After I check what Starfleet has on them.
 
CTO Quinnis:
XO: Sir, please take Crewman Moss with you. He is an excellent decryptor.
 
XO Bauer:
TRINNA: I will.
 
CO Shras:
Trinna: Have it your way, but one way or the other we will find out what you are hiding
 
XO Bauer:
CTO: Have him meet me on the bridge.
 
XO Bauer:
::Exits brig area::
 
CTO Quinnis:
*TO*: Quinnis to Moss. Report to Commander Bauer on the Bridge.
 
Trinna:
CO: You don't have the manpower or the technology, Shras and your kind never will.
 
XO Bauer:
::Heads back to the bridge::
 
CTO Quinnis:
<TO_Moss> *CTO*: Aye sir. On my way.
 
CTO Quinnis:
Trinna: Do not address my Captain in such a tone!
 
CO Shras:
Trinna: Ow! and you might help me understand that nonsense of yours?
 
XO Bauer:
::arrives on bridge and takes his spot, right of the Captain's chair::
 
Trinna:
::stands and moves toward the security force field::
 
XO Bauer:
MO: Hi, don't move. You still have command.
 
Trinna:
CTO: He's your captain, not mine.
 
CTO Quinnis:
<TO_MOSS> ::Enters the Bridge and heads for Commander Bauer's position:: XO: Crewman Moss reporting, sir.
 
CTO Quinnis:
Trinna: You scum!
 
XO Bauer:
::Starts scanning through Starfleet database on information on the Lanion crew and ship::
 
CTO Quinnis:
Trinna: I will rip the tongue from your mouth!
 
CO Shras:
CTO: It's alright, she want to be tough and all, a very common attitude for someone in power suddenly powerless
 
XO Bauer:
MOSS: Good, ummm Mr. Quinnis says you have a way with computer securities?
 
Trinna:
CO: You know exactly what I mean. You Federation types have been attacking the Syndicates for years, this time you have met your match.
 
Trinna:
CTO: Go ahead, it'll get you nothing
 
XO Bauer:
MOSS: See if you can get into the Lanion's files. If you need help, perhaps Mr. Adnil can help.
 
CTO Quinnis:
<TO_Moss> XO: Yes sir. It was my point of interest at the Academy extension campus.
 
CTO Quinnis:
::glares at Trinna::
 
XO Bauer:
MOSS: Cool, very impressive. So, work your magic.
 
CO Shras:
Trinna: The Orion syndicate is a pack of pirates and thieves and I'll be glad when it will be completely eradicated of this galaxy and replaced with a decent form of governing
 
Trinna:
ACTION: Seven ships matching similar descriptions as the Lanion appear on sensors orbiting the 3rd planet in the Farius system.
 
FCO Adnil:
::raises an eyebrow:: MO: Ma'am... sensors have seven ships orbiting the third planet.
 
CTO Quinnis:
<TO_Moss> XO: Aye sir. ::Moves to Tactical:: XO:
 
CTO Quinnis:
<Delete the extra XO: in last line>
 
MO TPiin:
*CO*: Captain, seven ships are orbiting the third planet.
 
Trinna:
::wags her head back and forth:: CO: I've heard that before and we're stronger than ever before.
 
Trinna:
CO: Have they begun mending Starbase 245 yet? Or are they still picking up the pieces?
 
CTO Quinnis:
<TO_Moss> XO: I got it sir. This was too easy.
 
XO Bauer:
MOSS: What have you found?
 
Trinna:
::chuckles:: CO: So you kept up your course to Farius...suicide.
 
CO Shras:
Trinna: Yes you can be proud, you have surprised us. Unfortunately you made yourselves the center of Starfleet attention. So now I believe we will be looking over here a lot more, making it a lot more difficult for your kind to operate...
 
Trinna:
ACTION: Three of the seven ships leave orbit, and begin bringing weapons and shields online.
 
CO Shras:
*MO*: Alright, I coming up, there is nothing useful in here
 
CTO Quinnis:
<TO_Moss> ::is on Alert with the ship's in the area:: MO: Sir, those ships out there are charging weapons.
 
FCO Adnil:
MO: Uh...ma'am. 3 of them are heading our way. ::looks over readings:: MO: They've got weapons and shields up and running. I would suggest Red Alert... or yellow.
 
Trinna:
CO: I doubt you'll exist long enough to get the warnings back, and if you do, we won't be here when you get back.
 
CO Shras:
CTO: They are yours, do it by the book
 
CTO Quinnis:
::nods to the CO::
 
CO Shras:
:: walk out of the brig and to the bridge ::
 
FCO Adnil:
::looks toward the TO:: TO: Uh... how strong are they?
 
CTO Quinnis:
<TO_Moss> FCO: Uh... uh.... I'm only a crewman.
 
FCO Adnil:
TO: You've got the tactical sensors there! ::looks over him for a moment and turns back to his::
 
Trinna:
ACTION: The ships continue on course, and begin firing when in range.
 
CO Shras:
:: enter the bridge ::
 
MO TPiin:
::sits down in the CNS's chair, incase the XO comes back too::
 
CTO Quinnis:
<TO_Moss> XO: Their systems were set to erase themselves, but it did not work.
 
FCO Adnil:
::immediately begins evasives:: All: Evasives! ::moves the ship hard to port::
 
CTO Quinnis:
<TO_Moss> CO: Sir their weapons match the Lanion, but their shields are better.
 
CO Shras:
XO: Open channels
 
Trinna:
ACTION: The incoming fire bounces off the Charlottetown's shields, reducing them to 88%.
 
CTO Quinnis:
::Quinnis moves toward the force field:: Trinna: Alright, no more questions. I want answers.
 
CO Shras:
COM: ALL: This is the USS Charlottetown, we have no hostile intentions, we are looking for someone, cease-fire or we will defend ourselves
 
Trinna:
CTO: I'm sure you do.
 
CTO Quinnis:
<TO_Moss> CO: Shields down to 88%.
 
FCO Adnil:
::monitors the other vessels, trying to keep away from the fire::
 
CTO Quinnis:
Trinna: Who are you?
 
CO Shras:
FCO: Keep us in the system but as far away from the attacking ship has possible
 
Trinna:
<Cassion> COM: CO: This is the SS Cassian, it seems you have found someone, haven't you?
 
CTO Quinnis:
::sets rifle to stun and aims::
 
Trinna:
CTO: Nice try
 
CTO Quinnis:
TO_Sanchez: Prepare to lower the force field on my mark.
 
FCO Adnil:
CO: Aye, sir!
 
CO Shras:
COM: Cassian: I have no business to do with you unless you are called Trinna
 
CTO Quinnis:
<TO_Moss> XO: I'm transmitting the manifest to you now sir.
 
XO Bauer:
::Takes the names Moss gives him and runs them through the Starfleet data base looking for criminal records and any warrants or such legal troubles::
 
XO Bauer:
MOSS: Thanks.
 
CTO Quinnis:
Trinna: Now, I ask again, who are you?
 
Trinna:
<Cassian> COM: CO: Release the ship you are towing and the ship's crew. Or we will renew our attack. The first volley was only a warning.
 
CTO Quinnis:
<TO_Moss> CO: They're charged and ready to fire sir.
 
XO Bauer:
CO: I'm running the Lanion crew through the database. I bet they got a whole lotta explaining to do to someone.
 
Trinna:
CTO: You can go play with your guns elsewhere, you don't intimidate me.
 
XO Bauer:
CO: If we got Trinna and crew do we still need to head to Farius.
 
CO Shras:
COM: Cassian: That ship and it's crew are in our custody for attacking us in Federation space, they will be judge in a Federation court which will decide about their release or not
 
XO Bauer:
CO: Trinna was on board the Lanion.
 
CTO Quinnis:
::is really frustrated now, lowers his weapon:: TO_Sanchez: Lower the field. ::the Field is lowered and Quinnis snatches Trinna by her shirt scruff and holds her tight, the force field is then raised::
 
CO Shras:
XO: But do we have Trinna?
 
Trinna:
ACTION: Trinna's name appears as a passenger on the Lanion
 
CO Shras:
XO: That information would have been useful earlier...much earlier...
 
XO Bauer:
CO: I believe the guy in sickbay is the Lanion's CO...Captain Caael.
 
Trinna:
<Cassian> COM: Then have another taste of our weapons.
 
CO Shras:
FCO: Set course for a Federation port, maximum warp
 
Trinna:
ACTION: The three vessels fire again.
 
XO Bauer:
CO: Yes, Captain. There's a picture of him in his file. He is in our brig.
 
CO Shras:
COM; Cassian: Apparently we already have the one we were looking for so sorry for bothering you, see you next time!
 
CTO Quinnis:
::still holding Trinna:: Trinna: Now, who are you?
 
FCO Adnil:
::continues to try and move the ship out of the way:: Self: Come on baby!
 
Trinna:
ACTION: The Cassian doesn't comment, but sets a pursuit course while the other two ships break off and return to Farius.
 
CO Shras:
XO: Have security take Trinna to an interrogation room, the others don't really interest me and we will transfer them to the nearest Starfleet facility
 
CTO Quinnis:
<TO_Moss> XO: Shields are holding. Sir, I may have found a weakness in those ships.
 
XO Bauer:
CO: Aye, Sir.
 
Trinna:
CTO: None of your business!
 
XO Bauer:
*CTO*: Ensign, escort Mr. Trinna to an interrogating room. I'm send his photo to your console there so you will know him.
 
CTO Quinnis:
<TO_Moss> XO: Sir, the Cassion has a weakness near their Bridge and the shields on Starboard are weak points as well on the other vessels.
 
Trinna:
