=/\= U.S.S. Elara Stardate 10508.28 - "Know thy Enemy, part IV"=/\=
Host SM_Lilia says:
The USS Elara remains in orbit of Nova Pax colony, in the middle of the Romulan Neutral Zone. Their purpose is simple, aid a brand new Romulan-Federation colony.
Host SM_Lilia says:
Reloading was nearly done when part of the away team sent to the planet beamed back aboard. However, on the transporter room only 2 lumps of plasma arrived . . .
Host SM_Lilia says:
Meanwhile, the TO and CIV are in a cave for the past hour. They know there are Romulans behind one of the walls but all is dark.
Host SM_Lilia says:
Oblivious (or maybe not) to all of this, a gigantic cube to which sensors are blind, rests in a nearby sector. Inside it, the only material object appears to be a sort of pedestal where a sphere could fit. The CTO apparently holds this sphere.

TO_Ens_Sollo says:
@::finds that he had been stripped of everything but his clothes::
Host SM_Lilia says:
@ACTION: The 4 life forms on the other side of the wall appear to be waking up
Dr_Greene says:
::Sitting in his office, reading reports::
MO_Ens_Rinna says:
::in sickbay analyzing plasma lumps::
OPS_Ens_Tar says:
::at OPS Station, monitoring the supply deliveries and running a level 2 diagnostic on the transporter systems::
TO_Ens_Sollo says:
@~~~CIV: I got nothing, do you have anything with you?~~~
CTO_LtJG_Starbuck says:
:: on the bridge, tacticilizing::
Susie says:
::in sickbay watching the MO, trying to stay out of the way::
FCO_LtJG_Taylor says:
:: at his station, going over the past few hours in his head ::
Host SM_Lilia says:
@ACTION: Commander S'harien is the first to wake up surrounded by his 3 senior officers
CIV_Lt_Pazoski says:
@::glances around to the wall in question, thoughtfully, shakes her head::  ~~~TO: not much of use.~~~
S`harien says:
@::Grumbles madly as he roams the endless hulls, tracking down the faint sounds he hears from the distance. He could have sword they sounded like talking, but maybe he was stuck in here for too long?::
XO_Lt_Pazoski says:
::makes his way to the bridge, relatively composed now but his eyes are still noticeably bloodshot, steps out of the Turbo lift and looks around for a moment:: All: Report!
CSO_Ens_Nelson says:
::In the science lab, checking on some readings on the sphere.::
MO_Ens_Rinna says:
::is getting annoyed by the little girl peering around him::
S`harien says:
<he heard>
TO_Ens_Sollo says:
@~~~CIV: Sounds like they're waking up out there, can you sense how many there are?~~~
Dr_Greene says:
::Puts down one of the padds and picks up his glass to drink some more water::
MO_Ens_Rinna says:
*XO*: Excuse me sir, I have an update on the plasma.
Susie says:
::wraps her arms around her knees and continues to watch::
OPS_Ens_Tar says:
::checks diagnostic logs:: XO: Sir, currently a level 2 diagnostic on the transporter systems is running. Preliminary results show no irregularities in the systems, but possibly an outside factor.
CTO_LtJG_Starbuck says:
XO: No problems appeared during cargo transfer. But we did have a small incident regarding internal security, but it was a fake sensor reading:
CEO_LtJg_McKnight says:
::enters the bride carrying a pad with recent system reconfigurations:: XO: Ship systems are operating at normal Lieutenant, nothing to report from engineering.
S`harien says:
@::Glances back at annoyance at the racket his officers were creating: All: Will you quiet down? We're trying to find something, not scare.. ::Pauses:: them? Away... ::Grumbles and continues::
OPS_Ens_Tar says:
XO: And the delivery of the supplies is almost completed.
Dr_Greene says:
::Glances over to the sickbay to see whether there is any business happening::
CEO_LtJg_McKnight says:
::sits at the bridge engineering console uploading specifications to the main computer::
MO_Ens_Rinna says:
Susie: Can't you find something to do.
S`harien says:
@::Holds his hand back as he notices something in the distance, two shadows? He moves slowly towards them and grunts:: CIV, TO: What are you doing in my caves? ::Grumbles again for good measure:
FCO_LtJG_Taylor says:
:: considers reporting that the were still in outer space but decides against it, the XO doesn't look in a joking mood, gulping he turns back round slowly ::
CIV_Lt_Pazoski says:
@~~~TO: Four maybe more~~~ ::steps across to the opposite side of the room determined to find a door:: TO: There has to be something.
CSO_Ens_Nelson says:
::As he watches the tests run, he decides it's time to go look for Susie, see if she finally found some clothes to wear.::
Susie says:
::glances around nervous that the shadows will come back:: MO: NO, not leaving. They might come get me.
MO_Ens_Rinna says:
::rolls eyes:: Susie: Fine, just stay put then.
TO_Ens_Sollo says:
@::swings round taking a defensive posture:: S`harien: Who's that?
Susie says:
::frowns:: MO: Just sitting here.
CSO_Ens_Nelson says:
::He makes his way to the quarters of the woman he left her with, only to find out she somehow slipped out, without telling where she went.::
Dr_Greene says:
::Sees a report on an error with one of the medicine on stock, and decides to go and check it out::
Dr_Greene says:
::Puts the report down, gets up and walks into the main sickbay, to the drug cabinet::
CIV_Lt_Pazoski says:
@S'harien: Pleased to meet you... A cave? Where are your caves? And how many routes are there to them?
S`harien says:
@::Screams in anger as the two Starfleet officers ignore him:: TO, CIV: Who do you think I am? A blubbering Ferengi? I'm the one that will be asking the questions from now on since you seem taken on that low IQ thing. ::Chuckles at his own bad joke:: Who are you, and what are you doing here?
FCO_LtJG_Taylor says:
:: thinks back to the girl who reported "shadows", thinking he would like to question her on her sightings :: self: no one tells me anything in this place
Host M_Anderson says:
@ACTION: Invisible lights are finally turned on in the cave and they all see the familiar face of Minister Anderson
MO_Ens_Rinna says:
::feels bad:: Susie: Here’s a Tricorder. ::hands her a Tricorder:: Susie: Help me scan ::smiles::
S`harien says:
@TO, CIV: Now to think about it.. ::He takes a good look around:: Where am.. I?
CSO_Ens_Nelson says:
::Starts running through the corridors, searching for Susie, stopping along the way to ask several crewmembers if they might have seen her.::
Susie says:
::looks at the MO and takes the Tricorder:: MO: You want me to help?
MO_Ens_Rinna says:
Susie: Sure.
TO_Ens_Sollo says:
@S`harien: Minister Anderson? How did you get here?
Susie says:
::Looking at the Tricorder then back at the MO:: MO: How's it work?
S`harien says:
@::Turns around at the surprised faces of the two officers, he glances unimpressively at the new figure:: TO, CIV: Another one of you?
OPS_Ens_Tar says:
XO: And Lieutenant Smirnge has been confined to quarters.
Host M_Anderson says:
@TO/CIV/S’harien: Hello, I am sure you are all very confused but don't be ::smiles::
MO_Ens_Rinna says:
Susie: Just take this piece off the top, hold it and wave it up and down.
Dr_Greene says:
::Opens the cabinet and takes the medicine in question out, then makes sure the cabinet is closed again::
TO_Ens_Sollo says:
@::looks to the CIV:: ~~~CIV: He's delirious.~~~
Host M_Anderson says:
@CIV/TO/S’harien: you are here at the invitation of Mr. Smith, to be officers in his army
CTO_LtJG_Starbuck says:
XO: Sir... what did you find at the signal source?
Susie says:
::moves the Tricorder like the MO shows her:: MO: Like this?
CIV_Lt_Pazoski says:
@S'harien/Anderson: This is strange, key players I guess.
CIV_Lt_Pazoski says:
@~~~TO: Yes but who is he and why is he here?~~~
MO_Ens_Rinna says:
::smiles:: Susie: That’s right, you got it.
XO_Lt_Pazoski says:
OPS: Why has Lieutenant Smirnge been confined?
Susie says:
::smiles at the MO:: MO: What are we looking for?
CEO_LtJg_McKnight says:
::after uploading the specifications required, he puts aside the pad and starts sorting out the parameters::
TO_Ens_Sollo says:
#Anderson: Mr. Smith again? What's he building an army for if he wants peace? Unless that was his goal from the start.
Dr_Greene says:
::Takes the medicine to the lab to test it::
CSO_Ens_Nelson says:
::He gets a little desperate and hopes nothing bad has happened to Susie.:: *CTO*: Sir, Ensign Nelson here. I... I seem to have lost Susie, the little girl. Do you have any report of someone sighting her?
CIV_Lt_Pazoski says:
:@~~~TO: Since when did civilian diplomats join armies~~~ ::looks to the minister:: Anderson/TO: Why does he require an army.
XO_Lt_Pazoski says:
CTO: Trouble Mr. Starbuck, trouble.  What is the status of the intruder alert that was detected earlier?
FCO_LtJG_Taylor says:
:: looks around the bridge. he cant shake of the feeling of being watched. Starts running some basic diagnostics ::
MO_Ens_Rinna says:
Susie: Right now you should see little red lines, if any green lines show up you let me know.
S`harien says:
@Mr. Anderson: What do you want you blabbering fool. ::Glances back as the TO talks, he pauses and returns his attention to him:: Forget their silly questions.. The question to be asked is where the heck are we!
Susie says:
::She nodded excited:: MO: OK
Dr_Greene says:
::Walks past the MO on his way to the exit:: MO: How's the testing coming along?
CTO_LtJG_Starbuck says:
XO: Well.. it was a sensor glitch, anyways i had the officer confined and the shuttle kept in docking clamps until i was sure.. now i released the both for active duty
Host M_Anderson says:
@CIV: You will know when the time is right. All For now I leave you to decide ::turns to leave::
CEO_LtJg_McKnight says:
::turns around to listen to the XO - CTO conversation about the intruder on the Elara::
MO_Ens_Rinna says:
*XO*: Excuse me sir, but I have an update on the plasma.
XO_Lt_Pazoski says:
*MO*: Go ahead.
TO_Ens_Sollo says:
@Anderson: Wait!
Host M_Anderson says:
@All: Ahh ::turns:: all: One last thing. If you do not agree, your personalities will be wiped and reprogrammed. We will keep only your training memories so you will still be the fine officers you are now ::smiles:: 
OPS_Ens_Tar says:
XO: Sir, Lieutenant Smirnge was in charge of the shuttle transport that arrived just at the same time that the intruder alert sounded.
CTO_LtJG_Starbuck says:
XO: Trouble sir? Can you be a little more explicit? I didn’t see any survivors ... or corpses for that matter in the runabout
MO_Ens_Rinna says:
*XO*: The plasma has the exact same mass as the two missing officers, but there are no molecules or anything identifiable.
CIV_Lt_Pazoski says:
@::nods to S'harien:: S'harien: Indeed.
TO_Ens_Sollo says:
@~~~CIV: Go with me here.~~~ Anderson: I have a question.
Host M_Anderson says:
@All: You have 30 minutes to decide ::leaves through a door which turns to solid rock after he passes::
XO_Lt_Pazoski says:
CTO: How sure are you? I have received reports of a Shadow being sighted onboard just after the alarm
TO_Ens_Sollo says:
@Self: Damn!
CTO_LtJG_Starbuck says:
XO: I'm sure... All data points to that
Dr_Greene says:
::Hears what the MO reports to the XO, nods and continues on his way to the lab::
S`harien says:
@::Grumbles as his question was ignored, he pushes past the TO and focuses his attention somewhere on the cave walls::
CEO_LtJg_McKnight says:
::Raises an eyebrow:: Self: Shadow?
CIV_Lt_Pazoski says:
@S'harien: How did you get here?
XO_Lt_Pazoski says:
::rolls his eyes for a moment:: OPS: Understood.
CIV_Lt_Pazoski says:
@::begins to check the wall from which Anderson left through::
OPS_Ens_Tar says:
::notices his console beeping and checks the results of the level 2 diagnostic:: XO: Sir, the diagnostic on the transporter systems is completed. No malfunction of the transporter systems is found, but it appears an ion storm in the planets atmosphere caused the failing transport.
TO_Ens_Sollo says:
@~~~CIV: I have an idea...~~~
CSO_Ens_Nelson says:
::Keeps running through the corridors, getting more desperate of something happening to her.:: Out loud: Susie... Susie!
Host M_Anderson says:
ACTION: A Romulan Warbird de-cloaks next to the Elara
XO_Lt_Pazoski says:
*MO*: But we could detect the comm badges, doesn't that seem odd?
CIV_Lt_Pazoski says:
@~~~TO: Secret armies...::pauses hearing him:: Excellent.. I'm fresh out of those at the minute~~~
Susie says:
::continues to scan like the MO showed her::
XO_Lt_Pazoski says:
CTO: No but we found something we need to talk about later ::gives the CTO a look::
S`harien says:
@::Glances at the CIV, he mumbles:: CIV: Beats me, I was at my ship and then.. Here.
MO_Ens_Rinna says:
*XO*: Yes sir, I am baffled myself.
CTO_LtJG_Starbuck says:
XO: Sir.. Warbird uncloaking 20 degrees from starboard! Should I raise shields?
XO_Lt_Pazoski says:
*MO*: Understood, keep searching.
CTO_LtJG_Starbuck says:
*CSO*: Well Susie doesn’t have a comm badge for me to track, now does she? ::smiles::
XO_Lt_Pazoski says:
CTO: Not just yet Mr. Starbuck
MO_Ens_Rinna says:
*XO*: Aye, Rinna out.
CIV_Lt_Pazoski says:
@S'harien: You ship was here for the peace talks?
OPS_Ens_Tar says:
XO: Sir, they are hailing us.
XO_Lt_Pazoski says:
OPS: On screen.
TO_Ens_Sollo says:
@~~~CIV: Right now I'm operating on the assumption that the Elara has no idea what's going on... the Romulans cant exactly risk attacking them or they'll give the game away...~~~
OPS_Ens_Tar says:
::hits a few buttons:: XO: Channel opened.
CEO_LtJg_McKnight says:
::turns back to his console, switches it to sensor monitor:: All: looks like the Romulans are brining in the "heavy supply ships"
Host M_Anderson says:
ACTION: The face of a low rank female Romulan officer appears on screen
CSO_Ens_Nelson says:
::Keeps on running:: *CTO*: I was aware of that, but perhaps someone else saw her and notified you. But I'll keep searching.
MO_Ens_Rinna says:
Susie: How you doing over there?
CTO_LtJG_Starbuck says:
*CSO*: Negative.. I’ll keep an eye out... but by the looks of things… we got more to worry about… Starbuck Out
TO_Ens_Sollo says:
@~~~CIV: This may be a long shot but it might just work... if we can convince them that we want to join the army of our own free will I might be able to get us out of this.~~~
S`harien says:
@::Glances at the CIV, he sighs and shakes his head:: CIV: Peace talks? Humph. ::He continues to grumble to an uneven beat::
Susie says:
MO: What are we looking for? ::wishing her Tricorder would do ... something::
XO_Lt_Pazoski says:
::turns to the viewscreen and puts on his "happy face":: COM: Warbird: This is Lt Pazoski of the Elara, how can we be of assistance
TO_Ens_Sollo says:
@~~~CIV: How are you with a rifle?~~~
Host M_Anderson says:
<Lt Gralina> COM: USS Elara: Greetings, I am Lt Gralina. I understand you lost 2 of your officers due to a beaming accident
CSO_Ens_Nelson says:
::Gets even more worried as he arrives at sickbay, one of the places he hasn't checked yet. The doors slide open and he steps inside.::
CIV_Lt_Pazoski says:
@~~~TO: At the minute we have little option, but to gain information and this seems to be the only way.~~~
CTO_LtJG_Starbuck says:
Self: Romulan know-how? yea right.. I smell a Targ..
MO_Ens_Rinna says:
Susie: We're trying to find out if these things are our missing crewmembers.
XO_Lt_Pazoski says:
COM: Warbird: That is correct.
Dr_Greene says:
::Puts a vial with the medicine under a microscope and looks through it::
Susie says:
MO: The colored line will tell us?
CEO_LtJg_McKnight says:
::takes a quick look at the viewscreen and then back at the sensor readouts::
CIV_Lt_Pazoski says:
@S'harien: Guess you don't care much for peace talks. ::smiles towards him:: I never cared much for war, but either way I have a feeling that we have to overcome the army issue before we get to leave.
S`harien says:
@::Turns around as he uncovers nothing, he slowly walks towards the TO. He signals the three Romulan officers with him to assist him as he corners the TO:: TO: You're planning something. Tell me. NOW!
MO_Ens_Rinna says:
Susie: Sort of. I kinda have to interpret it.
Host M_Anderson says:
<Lt Gralina> COM: USS Elara: We too have lost 4 officers. It is too much to be a coincidence. I suspect foul play by these ... civilians. With your help we can wipe their capital and demand to know the fate of our officers
CSO_Ens_Nelson says:
::As soon as he enters sickbay, he looks over all the biobed if he can see anyone that resembles Susie.::
Susie says:
MO: Oh ::Not really understanding::
Host M_Anderson says:
@ACTION: Obediently the other Romulans follow their commander
CIV_Lt_Pazoski says:
@::smiles towards the TO:: ~~~TO: I can shoot, but against no target... it's not easy~~~
S`harien says:
@::Pauses a second before he grabs the TO uniform collar, he turns and stares at the CIV:: CIV: Not my issue, you figure it out. I'll manage some how.
XO_Lt_Pazoski says:
COM: Warbird: I see... We are still conducting our own investigation here, but I don't think the civilians are behind it, at least not all of them, it makes no "logical" sense.
TO_Ens_Sollo says:
@S`harien: Oof, who said I was planning anything??? I was merely weighing up my options!
Dr_Greene says:
::Sighs in relief, as the signs described in the report appear to be absent in this batch of the medicine::
S`harien says:
@TO: Right. ::Turns to the CIV:: CIV: You're the brainy one then, correct? ::Grumbles yet again:: Plans?
CSO_Ens_Nelson says:
::Not recognizing anyone as Susie, he starts to walk around in sickbay, until he finds Susie with the MO.:: Susie: Susie! What are you doing in sickbay!
XO_Lt_Pazoski says:
COM: Warbird: In the interest of this colony continuing perhaps we should be a little less direct
Host M_Anderson says:
<Lt Gralina> COM:  USS Elara: What does it matter if it is one or all-weak human. We will start a war if needed. I understand this Mr. Smith is human
Susie says:
::Looks up hearing the CSO’s voice:: CSO: I'm helping
Dr_Greene says:
::Gets up and picks the remaining medicine up, and takes it back to the main sickbay::
MO_Ens_Rinna says:
Susie: I'm sorry I have nothing better for you, but maybe this'll peak your interest to become a doctor.
Host M_Anderson says:
<Lt Gralina> COM: USS Elara: You will hear from us again, if you are in our way when the time comes, you will be destroyed with the planet. Warbird out!
Host M_Anderson says:
ACTION: Screen goes black
CIV_Lt_Pazoski says:
@ S'harien: Plans, well if we are all hoping to get out, together we are a bigger and stronger force ::watches him before continuing:: I am not liking the brainwashing option either ::smiles slightly::
CSO_Ens_Nelson says:
::Rushes over to her and the MO.:: Susie: Helping with what and what is that... that... lump in front of you?
CTO_LtJG_Starbuck says:
Self: Romulans... less direct... why do I have the feeling they mean to sabotage the facility...
Susie says:
MO: Like you? ::smiling at the MO::
TO_Ens_Sollo says:
@::struggles to free himself from the Romulans grip::
XO_Lt_Pazoski says:
::watches the viewscreen:: All: That’s just great...
OPS_Ens_Tar says:
XO: Sir, they have terminated the channel.
XO_Lt_Pazoski says:
FCO: Mr. Taylor, put us between that Warbird and the Colony.
MO_Ens_Rinna says:
CSO: Calm down, she’s fine.  Susie: Exactly.
Susie says:
::glances between the MO and the CSO:: CSO: Don't know
CIV_Lt_Pazoski says:
@S'harien: Would you let him go… we have no argument with you.
CTO_LtJG_Starbuck says:
XO: Now can we raise shields?
Dr_Greene says:
::Enters  sickbay and sees someone else with the MO and frowns::
TO_Ens_Sollo says:
@S`harien: For god's sake man who's side are you on?!?!
XO_Lt_Pazoski says:
OPS: I have gathered that Mr. Tar.  Work with engineering, take those transporters apart, find out what happened to our missing crewmen!
Host M_Anderson says:
ACTION: Warbird cloaks, disappearing from sensors
FCO_LtJG_Taylor says:
XO: you got it :: starts working his magic with his console, lining the Elara between the colony and the Warbird ::
MO_Ens_Rinna says:
CSO: And those two things may be our missing crewmembers.
FCO_LtJG_Taylor says:
self: just what I needed
S`harien says:
@CIV: Right. ::Motions the Romulans to return to ease:: Lies. That person seemed to have known you.. Better then I know him. Right. Now, what gives?
Dr_Greene says:
::Recognizes Nelson:: CSO: Ah.. Mister Nelson... ::Smiles, as he still walks to the drug cabinet::
XO_Lt_Pazoski says:
CTO: Yes, raise shields, we don’t want any uninvited visitors
CIV_Lt_Pazoski says:
@S'harien: You know him, we had been introduced to him as Anderson a minister here, we had not expected this ::glances around::
CSO_Ens_Nelson says:
::Looks somewhat calmer now.:: MO: Missing crewmembers? Who are we missing?
MO_Ens_Rinna says:
Greene: Ah, Dr. Greene, how good to see you.
MO_Ens_Rinna says:
CSO: I'm not sure, I just know we are.
OPS_Ens_Tar says:
XO: Transporters are offline and the level 2 diagnostic has been completed. The transporter systems are not to be blamed.
Susie says:
::watches her Tricorder ignoring the adults beside her::
Dr_Greene says:
::Nods at the MO, as he opens the cabinet and replaces the medicine::
XO_Lt_Pazoski says:
OPS: Then someone has intercepted our transporter signal, find out who.
TO_Ens_Sollo says:
@::straightens his uniform and brushes himself down:: S`harien: You seem to think we want to be here.
CEO_LtJg_McKnight says:
XO: Lieutenant....
CSO_Ens_Nelson says:
::Nods and smiles towards Dr. Greene:: Greene: Good day. ::Then turns to face the MO again.:: MO: Anything I can do to offer any assistance?
XO_Lt_Pazoski says:
::looks at the CEO:: CEO: Chief?
S`harien says:
@CIV: Right. ::Pauses to think:: Right. ::Turns to the TO:: TO: Right. ::Turns back to the Romulans, he nods and returns his attention to the CIV:: CIV: Right. figure this our or I'll kill you all before that one will. Right? Right. ::Turns back to the TO, he raises an eyebrow and remain silent::
CEO_LtJg_McKnight says:
XO: Lieutenant, I was thinking maybe trying to scan subspace for their transporter signature .... we can try to see where was it relocated to
OPS_Ens_Tar says:
XO: Erm Sir, I've reported that to you already. The diagnostic showed an ion storm in the planets atmosphere was interfering with the transporter beam. Possibly the beam was deflected due to that ion storm, Sir.
MO_Ens_Rinna says:
CSO: Oh by god yes, some scientific input would be wonderful.
CSO_Ens_Nelson says:
::Nods:: MO: Alright, how about filling me in on what you already know and I'll continue from that point on.
Dr_Greene says:
::Walks past the MO again:: MO/CSO: Carry on.. ::Smiles as he heads into the office again to pick up a padd::
XO_Lt_Pazoski says:
::nods to the CEO:: CEO: Get on it, work with OPS on the specifics
Susie says:
::frowning:: MO: It's not doing anything ::holding up the Tricorder::
CEO_LtJg_McKnight says:
XO: Aye aye ::turns and walks to the OPS console::
MO_Ens_Rinna says:
CSO: All I really know is that these plasma lumps have the same mass as our missing crewmembers.
TO_Ens_Sollo says:
@S`harien: If you genuinely want our help you're going totally the wrong way about it.
OPS_Ens_Tar says:
::initiates a high sweep scan of subspace:: CEO: If you watch this, ::points at console:: I watch this.
CTO_LtJG_Starbuck says:
::raises shields an goes to yellow alert... again::
CEO_LtJg_McKnight says:
OPS: Ensign....
CIV_Lt_Pazoski says:
@::shrugs:: S'harien: I have no idea yet, whether we find a weakness in this wall, and get through however many guards in a place we do not know or join thier army long enough to gain what we need to get away.
MO_Ens_Rinna says:
::looks up when hearing yellow alert::
MO_Ens_Rinna says:
CSO: What could it be now?
OPS_Ens_Tar says:
CEO: Lieutenant...
XO_Lt_Pazoski says:
::sits in his seat:: FCO: Move us to a low orbit directly above the colony, that Warbird is worrying me
CIV_Lt_Pazoski says:
@~~~TO: he's angry and looks to be quite upset at our being involved, unfortunately unsurprising with the past between our people. ~~~
CEO_LtJg_McKnight says:
OPS: Ensign, I'm going to recalibrate the ships long range sensors to scan for Ion particles within the particle transporter beam.... I want you to initiate a scan on my signal, ok?
S`harien says:
@TO: Right. Say, you don't happen to have an exact clone of yours.. Right?
Susie says:
::looks at the MO and CSO:: Both: What's that?
CSO_Ens_Nelson says:
::Nods as he takes a closer look, but is startled by the yellow alert message.:: MO: I don't know... I didn't know there was any danger out there. ::Holding back a little on that sentence as he thinks back to the cube.::
OPS_Ens_Tar says:
CEO: Aye
MO_Ens_Rinna says:
*XO*: Sir, I need to know what's going on, I have children down here.
Dr_Greene says:
::Takes his seat behind his desk again and begins reading as the lights around him start flashing yellow::
XO_Lt_Pazoski says:
CTO: Mr. Starbuck. Have security search the ship from top to bottom, this turn of events brings in the thought that our intruder may not just be a sensor glitch.
CEO_LtJg_McKnight says:
::walks back to the CEO bridge console and starts working on the scripts:: OPS: Just ... give... me a few seconds.... and ::presses a few buttons on the console::
TO_Ens_Sollo says:
@S`harien: Sometimes I wish I did, then I could blame it all on him! ~~~CIV: So it would seem but it's not our fault.~~~
MO_Ens_Rinna says:
Susie: It's nothing little one, go back to your scans.
CSO_Ens_Nelson says:
Susie: That is an alarm of something approaching the ship and people on the bridge don't like them very much. But I am sure there is nothing to worry about. ::Smiles nervously::
CIV_Lt_Pazoski says:
@S'harien: Do you know who Mr. Smith is, ::adding to them:: TO/ S'harien: why do we both know Anderson?
CTO_LtJG_Starbuck says:
XO: Right sir...     Self: I knew squad devising was a good idea
Dr_Greene says:
::Sighs and puts the padd down again:: Out loud: What is it this time?
MO_Ens_Rinna says:
CSO: Don't tell her that!
Susie says:
CSO/MO: They going to hurt us?
OPS_Ens_Tar says:
::prepares the scan:: CEO: Sweep pattern ready to initiate. Just say when.
MO_Ens_Rinna says:
Susie: No sweetie, stay calm.
FCO_LtJG_Taylor says:
:: finishes repositioning he ship :: self: your not the only one who’s worried
CSO_Ens_Nelson says:
::Shakes his head:: Susie: No little one, the nice MO is right. They're not going to hurt us.
CEO_LtJg_McKnight says:
::presses the last two buttons:: OPS: Ok Mr. Tar, initiate the scan!
S`harien says:
@CIV: Mr. Smith? No. I do know that other person. He's the minister of the colony. Passable person at most. Helpful enough?
OPS_Ens_Tar says:
::presses one button:: CEO: Scan in progress.
MO_Ens_Rinna says:
::pulls CSO away from the girl::
Susie says:
::Looks at the two again then goes back to scanning:: 
OPS_Ens_Tar says:
CEO: Results are being relayed to your station, Sir.
TO_Ens_Sollo says:
@CIV: Good point. ::turns to the Romulan:: S`harien: how did you meet Anderson?
CSO_Ens_Nelson says:
::Looks at the MO with a surprised look:: MO: What?
MO_Ens_Rinna says:
::whispers:: CSO: Why would you tell her that?
CEO_LtJg_McKnight says:
OPS: Good, nice work ensign ::takes a look at his console display for results::
Dr_Greene says:
::Gets up and leaves the office again, and, instead of turning into the main sickbay, he leaves it and heads for the nearest TL::
MO_Ens_Rinna says:
::watches Dr. Greene leave::
Dr_Greene says:
::Orders the TL to the bridge::
CIV_Lt_Pazoski says:
@::nods to S'harien:: ~~~TO: Yes someone had to make a compromise it was obvious he would not be keen to be put in that position immediately.~~~
XO_Lt_Pazoski says:
::waits in his chair for the CEO to interpret his results::
CSO_Ens_Nelson says:
::Whispers back:: MO: Because she has a right to know. She will learn eventually. What if we make her think nothing is amiss and someone starts to fire on us. What do we tell her then? That we hit an asteroid?
CTO_LtJG_Starbuck says:
*All Security Officers*: This is the Cosmo Starbuck, I want a full scan of this ship, manually... Alpha squad take decks 1 to 23, Beta take decks 23 to 30, Theta take decks 30 to 42... I want every corner scanned on a broad range
MO_Ens_Rinna says:
*Greene*: Sir, could you please inform them that there are children on board.
TO_Ens_Sollo says:
@~~~CIV: Agreed, but I still don't trust him.~~~
S`harien says:
@TO: When I beamed down to the colony I meet President Cerus and some of his stooges. Are we finished asking questions yet?
CEO_LtJg_McKnight says:
XO/OPS: Hmmm, it looks like we've picked something up, but it is to wide spread for us to determine any co-ordinates. OPS: Ensign, re-scan it again on my signal, I'm going to narrow our scan radius to that sector of space only.
Susie says:
::glances at the two adults and bites her lip::
TO_Ens_Sollo says:
@S`harien: Not quite yet, how long ago was this?
MO_Ens_Rinna says:
::keeps whispering:: CSO: We find a way to keep her safe and calm.
Dr_Greene says:
::Sighs:: Self: If I must.. *MO*: Naturally... ::Waits for the TL to arrive::
XO_Lt_Pazoski says:
CEO/OPS: Keep working on it you two, we need to find this out before our Romulan friends start shooting.
OPS_Ens_Tar says:
CEO: Yes Sir, sensors are ready to scan again. ::presses a few buttons::
MO_Ens_Rinna says:
*Dr.*: Thank you sir.
CEO_LtJg_McKnight says:
::reconfigures the sensors one last time::: OPS: Ok, initiate the scan!
OPS_Ens_Tar says:
::hits one button:: CEO: Scanning...
CIV_Lt_Pazoski says:
@S'harien: Do you have any weapons or equipment with you? ::watching the wall::
Dr_Greene says:
::Exits onto the bridge and looks around who is there::
MO_Ens_Rinna says:
::turns back to CSO:: CSO: Understand?
Dr_Greene says:
::Walks over towards the XO::
XO_Lt_Pazoski says:
::looks at the new arrival on the bridge:: Greene: Doctor, is there something we can do for you?
CSO_Ens_Nelson says:
::Looks a little annoyed and raises his voice slightly:: MO: Look. I am willing to take my responsibilities with this kid and I choose to tell her the things I believe she needs to know. If you think you can do better, let me know. Right now we have to find out about these lumps and see if these are our missing crewmates. Am I clear on this?
CEO_LtJg_McKnight says:
::looks at his console for results of the scan::
Susie says:
::looks up at the CSO’s raised voice and frowns::
S`harien says:
@TO: Not sure, being unconscious tends to play tricks with your mind. ::Turns to face the CIV:: CIV: Weapons? No. Only four officers with the brains of tribbles. They make a nice cannon fodder if coaxed properly?
Dr_Greene says:
XO: Not really, sir.. I just felt like coming up here and see what was going on, since we're always very informed of what goes on in sickbay.... ::Puts emphasis on the last part::
CEO_LtJg_McKnight says:
XO / OPS: Lieutenant, there is a subspace trace at the co-ordinates we just scanned....
MO_Ens_Rinna says:
::raises voice and bears over the CSO:: CSO: Now you listen here, this Sickbay is a comfortable environment.  DO YOU UNDERSTAND?
XO_Lt_Pazoski says:
::blinks at the doctor:: Greene: You are a doctor, doctor, not a bridge officer...
TO_Ens_Sollo says:
@S`harien: Cannon fodder? Could be useful. They'll follow your every order right?
CTO_LtJG_Starbuck says:
XO: I just received confirmation from my security squads... they found nothing
Susie says:
::runs to the two yelling adults and pulls on their sleeves:: CSO/MO: Don't yell ::close to tears::
S`harien says:
@::Nods::
XO_Lt_Pazoski says:
CEO: Can you determine where the transport was redirected?
Host M_Anderson says:
@ACTION: Anderson returns, followed by 2 Betazoids and 2 Vulcans (they look like Betazoids and Vulcans anyway)
CEO_LtJg_McKnight says:
XO: Computer simulations indicate that it connects the Ion storm with the planet, more specifically..... an area on the planet about 500km away from the capital city.
CIV_Lt_Pazoski says:
@::chuckles:: S'harien: Lets hope none of us are cannon fodder.. can you two.. ::stops and stares at Anderson::
MO_Ens_Rinna says:
::turns toward Susie:: Susie: My apologies little one.
CSO_Ens_Nelson says:
::Mumbles something as he looks away from the MO, looking at Susie and tries to calm her.:: Susie: I am sorry honey, I will not do this again, I promise. Now tell me, what have you seen on the Tricorder so far?
FCO_LtJG_Taylor says:
:: with great difficulty and concentration moves his green eye to watch the crew on the bridge while watching his console with the blue :: self: ow
XO_Lt_Pazoski says:
CTO: Understood, keep teams posted at every critical section of this ship, just in case our Romulan friends get inventive
CIV_Lt_Pazoski says:
@::raises an eyebrow:: Anderson: Welcome back Minister.
CEO_LtJg_McKnight says:
::puts the landscape image on the engineering console:: XO: That's the area Lietenant, from orbit....
CIV_Lt_Pazoski says:
@::glances at his two guests::
CTO_LtJG_Starbuck says:
XO: Read your mind, they are already in place
Dr_Greene says:
::Frowns:: XO: I am a doctor, correct.. It would help a lot if we, that is, the doctors, would be aware of a situation so we can take measures to prepare.. I thought I'd come and look to see for myself..
Susie says:
::shaking her head:: CSO: It didn't do anything. 
TO_Ens_Sollo says:
@::looks to Anderson as he enters:: Anderson: Question, are you real or are you a recording? I was talking to you before you left.
Host M_Anderson says:
@All: I am glad you have kept busy. What is your answer?
XO_Lt_Pazoski says:
::moves to the CEO's station and takes a look:: CEO: Interesting...
CSO_Ens_Nelson says:
::Looks closely at the Tricorder and adjusts some settings:: Susie: Okay, then try again, the same way as you have done before.
MO_Ens_Rinna says:
*Dr.*: Doctor, what is our situation?
CEO_LtJg_McKnight says:
XO: Hmm, well sir, then they must be somewhere in that area.... might be under the surface. Perhaps an away team?
S`harien says:
@CIV: Go ahead, tell him. ::Grins madly::
Susie says:
::goes back to where she was working:: CSO: Like this?
TO_Ens_Sollo says:
@::looks to the CIV:: Are we in agreement then?
XO_Lt_Pazoski says:
CEO: What a wonderful idea, well volunteered.
OPS_Ens_Tar says:
::console beeps and Dalin looks at the console:: XO: Sir, as one goes along I'm happy to confirm that all supplies have been delivered to the colony.
Dr_Greene says:
::Turns to look at the viewscreen to see what their situation was exactly, as that was what he came up for:: *MO*: Just a moment, let me check with the bridge crew..
XO_Lt_Pazoski says:
OPS: Excellent, now we can look to more pressing matters
CEO_LtJg_McKnight says:
XO: Very well sir, I shall modify some sensor equipment so we can scan for ions on the planet surface, might help us find the exact location faster.
MO_Ens_Rinna says:
::is getting annoyed at how the sickbay isn’t informed to be prepared::
CSO_Ens_Nelson says:
::Nods:: Susie: yes, like that. Just tell me if you see anything different. ::Turns towards the MO:: MO: Are we ready to work together on this one again?
XO_Lt_Pazoski says:
CTO/FCO/OPS: I think its time you took a shuttle to the surface and found our missing crew
Susie says:
CSO: Ok ::goes back to scanning::
CIV_Lt_Pazoski says:
@::nods:: Anderson: A choice of brainwashing or joining an army, I don’t believe you left a huge choice so where do we start..
FCO_LtJG_Taylor says:
XO: understood
MO_Ens_Rinna says:
CSO: I'm waiting on a response from the doctor about our situation.
Host M_Anderson says:
@::crosses his arms:: CIV: Yes or no. And my friends here will make sure you don’t bluff
OPS_Ens_Tar says:
XO: Aye Sir, I'm preparing the shuttle's systems for launch.
CTO_LtJG_Starbuck says:
XO: Finally... some leg stretching... if I stayed more in that chair.. ::grabs Batleth and goes to shuttle bay while nodding to an ensign to take over tactical::
S`harien says:
@CIV: Hold on a second here, when did we say yes?
CEO_LtJg_McKnight says:
CTO/FCO/OPS/XO: Good, I am going to stop by cargo bay 2 to get the necessary equipment and I will meet you at the shuttle bay gentlemen.... and Klingon ::grins at the CTO::
Dr_Greene says:
::Takes a seat in one of the spare seats near the central chair::
CSO_Ens_Nelson says:
::Nods:: MO: I understand. Did you take some samples of the plasma? Maybe we can have the computer analyze it and match it with any of the crew on the ship.
XO_Lt_Pazoski says:
CTO: Mr. Starbuck, I’m putting you in charge, phasers on stun, am I clear?
Susie says:
::Susie frowned as she looked at the Tricorder:: CSO: ~~~What's wrong?~~~
MO_Ens_Rinna says:
CSO: I hadn't gotten to that yet but your more than welcome to go ahead.
CTO_LtJG_Starbuck says:
XO: Phasers on stun...   Self: And Batleth on stun as well ::smiles::
CIV_Lt_Pazoski says:
@::chuckles:: Anderson: I'm quite sure of that. Yes you can recruit me, the body you can have but the mind is mine.
CIV_Lt_Pazoski says:
@Anderson: The others must speak for themselves.
TO_Ens_Sollo says:
@::fills his mind with resentment:: Anderson: I'm in! I'm sick of all this talk of peace!  If this peace plan goes ahead I'm gonna be out of a job!
OPS_Ens_Tar says:
::readies the shuttle's systems and ship's systems for the shuttle's launch::
CEO_LtJg_McKnight says:
::walks out of the bridge and heads for the cargo bay decks::
CSO_Ens_Nelson says:
:::Looks at Susie:: Susie: Err... what did you just say?
MO_Ens_Rinna says:
::begins to catch bad vibes from the little girl::
S`harien says:
@All: Spineless officers. ::Sighs and nods at the direction of Mr....... Anderson::
Susie says:
CSO: I ... didn't say anything. ::looks confused::
CTO_LtJG_Starbuck says:
::arrives at the shuttle bay awaiting the others::
MO_Ens_Rinna says:
*Dr.*: Um... Doctor, how prepared do we need to be?
FCO_LtJG_Taylor says:
:: gets up and heads to the shuttle bay ::
CIV_Lt_Pazoski says:
@::watches the betazoids with Anderson::
Host M_Anderson says:
@ACTION: One of the betazoids speaks to Anderson "She is a difficult one. But she will do anything not to be brain washed. I think she may join us after some mild conditioning and perhaps a mind meld to be sure"
OPS_Ens_Tar says:
XO: Sir, the shuttle is ready. I'll get on my way to the shuttle bay. ::waits for a reply::
CEO_LtJg_McKnight says:
::enters cargo bay #2 and opens a big box pulling out a Tricorder, with a thick cable connected to it... and a small scanning device on the other end:: Self: This will do fine
CSO_Ens_Nelson says:
::Looks confused as well:: Susie: But... I am sure I heard... you. You asked me what was wrong. ::Looks briefly at the MO, than back at Susie.::
CIV_Lt_Pazoski says:
@::Smiles thoughtfully::
Dr_Greene says:
*MO*: I think we're clear for now.. ::Keeps observing the events on the bridge::
Host M_Anderson says:
@ACTION.. And continues "The half human is outright lying"
XO_Lt_Pazoski says:
OPS: Good luck Mr. Tar.  Just keep an eye on the CTO for me, I don't want any casualties, on either side
MO_Ens_Rinna says:
::now worried::
MO_Ens_Rinna says:
*Dr.* : Aye sir.
OPS_Ens_Tar says:
::smiles:: XO: Yes Sir, I will.
Susie says:
::shakes her head:: CSO: No, didn't say that.
CEO_LtJg_McKnight says:
::heads for the shuttle bay carrying the ion scanner::
CTO_LtJG_Starbuck says:
::kicks the shuttle to make sure nothing is loose::
CSO_Ens_Nelson says:
::Looks closely at Susie.:: Susie: Did you think that perhaps?
MO_Ens_Rinna says:
CSO: Why are you sweating?
Susie says:
CSO: Think it? How do you do that? 
Host M_Anderson says:
@CIV: You are with us but your friend will require reprogramming. Sharien: as for you?
OPS_Ens_Tar says:
::enters the shuttle bay and sees the CTO kicking the shuttle:: CTO: Sir, I don't think it to by good for the shuttle if you kick it. ::smiles::
MO_Ens_Rinna says:
::pulls Tricorder back out and examines the CSO::
CEO_LtJg_McKnight says:
::enters the shuttle bay and walks over to the shuttle:: CTO: Ah, Mr. Starbuck, is everyone here? ::enters the shuttle and places the Tricorder on the floor::
FCO_LtJG_Taylor says:
:: walks into the shuttle bay whistling ::
CSO_Ens_Nelson says:
::Looks back and forth at Susie and the MO:: Susie/MO: Never mind. Let's get those samples of the plasma and have the computer analyze it for us.
S`harien says:
@Mr. Anderson: Whatever, can't really fight with no one to back me up.. Hmm? ::Mumbles and walks past the group to the side of the cave::
TO_Ens_Sollo says:
@:: Frowns at Anderson :: Anderson: I see, so because I have the human weakness of emotion I have to be lying? How do you work that out?
CTO_LtJG_Starbuck says:
OPS: This shuttle can take atmosphere re entry, disrupter shots, and then some... do you think a kick will  "annihilate" it?
CIV_Lt_Pazoski says:
@Anderson: Perhaps we can work without reprogramming, he's half human, couldn't we wait till the shock wears off and he realizes his options?
MO_Ens_Rinna says:
CSO: Your blood pressure has risen!
Susie says:
::frowns and sulks:: CSO: Ok
CTO_LtJG_Starbuck says:
CEO: Yes ... by the way.. XO's orders, phasers to stun
XO_Lt_Pazoski says:
::with the bridge officers now replaced with replacements stands and watches the viewscreen for a moment:: *CSO*: Pazoski to Nelson. I think it's time we got to the bottom of this cube mystery, don't you agree?
FCO_LtJG_Taylor says:
:: sits in his seat in the shuttle and preps it for launch ::
OPS_Ens_Tar says:
CTO: Yes, but then the systems that prevent damage are online, now they aren't.
Host M_Anderson says:
@::smiles at the TO:: TO: You are the typical Starfleet officer. You would die rather than betray your flag. But you would lie with all your teeth to save your skin
CEO_LtJg_McKnight says:
CTO: Phasers... what phasers? ::switches his phaser to stun and grins::
MO_Ens_Rinna says:
*XO*: Mr. Nelson isn’t going anywhere.
OPS_Ens_Tar says:
::enters the shuttle and starts pre-launch checks::
CTO_LtJG_Starbuck says:
OPS: I knew you where an android ... ::smiles and enters the shuttle::
CSO_Ens_Nelson says:
::Looks at the MO, prior to take the samples.:: MO: I am sure it's nothing to be worried about, it has happened before. ::Hears the XO's message:: *XO*: Aye sir, I'll round up here in sickbay and be ready to depart as soon as you are sir.
XO_Lt_Pazoski says:
*MO*: I'm sorry? Why not?
OPS_Ens_Tar says:
CTO: Want to have a look at my positronic brain? ::smiles::
CEO_LtJg_McKnight says:
::enters the shuttle::
MO_Ens_Rinna says:
CSO: You don't understand... you should be having a heart attack right now.
