=/\= U.S.S. Elara Stardate 10707.08- "Mixed Identities, part VI"=/\=

The Elara is stil at a standoff with the Klingon pirate group, but now they seem to be at an advantage. With the refusal to return the apprehended vessel, K'tor's fleet has disbanded and only three unfortunate ships were left with no shields or weapons. K'tor's own vessel remains as well with no more than information aboard. The Elara now has the precise coordinates of where Pazoski's team was taken as well as vital information from the pirate group. What will they do with it?

At the same time Pazoski is trying to negotiate Tar's freedom with a female pirate. He always did have a way with women.

CEO LtJG JoBrel says: 
::at the engineering station on the bridge with no ideas at all of what’s going on::

CTO Lt Sollo says: 
::standing at Tactical wondering what he should do about the escaped vessels::

Lady Serena says: 
@::opens the door to the bathroom:: XO/TO: Join us

XO Cmdr Pazoski says: 
@TO: Best not to keep the lady waiting ensign ::motions for the TO to lead the way::

CEO LtJG JoBrel says: 
CIV: Sir, we have the coordinates of the away team. Shall I lay in a course?

CIV Cmdr Maor says: 
::Glances up from his console, giving the bridge occupants a curious look:: All: Aren't we missing someone here? ::Turns his attention towards the ready room doors:: Is he in there?

FCO Lost says: 
::happy to return to his seat:: All: Now what?

TO Ens Boktor says: 
@Lady Serena: Yes I will follow you.

FCO Lost says: 
CIV: Ah yes, the Captain reported he was not feeling fit for duty. Sickbay announced he had to stay there for medical reasons

CTO Lt Sollo says: 
CIV: I have no idea where he went.

CEO LtJG JoBrel says: 
::waits for the timely CIV to answer::

Lady Serena says: 
@::takes a seat in her comfortable bed:: OPS/TO/XO: Join me

TO Ens Boktor says: 
@::Looking to the XO:: XO: ::Whispering:: this getting stranger by the second.

XO Cmdr Pazoski says: 
@::grabs a high-backed chair from near the wall and plonks himself down on it:: TO: Always does around here Ensign, always does...

CTO Lt Sollo says: 
::taps his fingers on his console:: CIV: Your orders Commander?

TO Ens Boktor says: 
@:: Following the XO towards the body of the Lady::

CIV Cmdr Maor says: 
FCO: Is that so? ::Frowns:: Nothing serious, I hope? ::Doesn't even wait for an answer as he turns his attention towards the  viewscreen:: CEO: Hold your course for now, Lieutenant. ::Raises from his seat:: ETA at maximum warp?

Lady Serena says: 
@XO: So, I tell you where to find K'tor's HQ and you destroy it. In exchange you go free

CIV Cmdr Maor says: 
CTO: Patience, Lieutenant. Any nearby Starfleet ships?

CTO Lt Sollo says: 
CIV: Closest ships are at DS9, two days from here.

FCO Lost says: 
CIV: Twenty Minutes maximum warp

XO Cmdr Pazoski says: 
@Serena: It seems that you are getting a lot more out of this deal than we are.

Lady Serena says: 
@::laughs:: XO: You get your life

XO Cmdr Pazoski says: 
@Serena: And what of Dalin?  What life does he get?

TO Ens Boktor says: 
@::Looking around for a chair. Found one, and sit on it too.::

CIV Cmdr Maor says: 
CTO, FCO: Understood. ::Turns to face the CEO:: CEO: What's the current condition of the disabled Klingon ships?

CTO Lt Sollo says: 
CIV: What do you want to do with these other three ships? they've annoyingly gone and started their engines again.

CEO LtJG JoBrel says: 
CIV: They are disabled...although a few have impulse, Sir.

Lady Serena says: 
@::looks at the still half drugged thrill:: XO: A life of pleasures. I assure you he will have everything he needs...and more

CIV Cmdr Maor says: 
CEO: I'm assuming you still have the codes for them, replace all codes and assume full control of them. We'll move in a formation to the XO's location, assuming they can handle going to warp at their current situation.

CEO LtJG JoBrel says: 
CIV: Sir they won't be that way for long. I estimate 5 minutes before they can go to warp

CEO LtJG JoBrel says: 
CIV: Sir, I no longer have access to their command codes, they have been changed.

CIV Cmdr Maor says: 
CEO: Let me get this right, Lieutenant. Do you or do you not have control over them? ::Nods at the CEO's reply:: Their shields is up?

ACTION: The three Klingon vessels continue to gain speed, still sub-warp. They spread in three different directions

CEO LtJG JoBrel says: 
CIV: Their shields are down, I suggest we disable them the old fashioned way before they escape.

CTO Lt Sollo says: 
::trains the phaser arrays on each of the klingon ships propulsion systems::

XO Cmdr Pazoski says: 
@Serena: Except the chance to choose what he wants in life.  I will do what you want but Dalin must have the choice to leave with us if he wishes.

TO Ens Boktor says: 
@::Whispering:: XO: Except his freedom.

CIV Cmdr Maor says: 
CTO: Arrange for the cargo bays to be prepared for long time confinement of prisoners, as soon as you're ready start beaming them. 

Lady Serena says: 
@XO: That is no longer his choice... I didn’t catch your name. But I am already doing a lot by not killing you for infiltrating my ship. Now you make your decision

CTO Lt Sollo says: 
::arranges the cargo bays with forcefields around them and starts trying to beam people off the klingon shops::

CIV Cmdr Maor says: 
FCO: Match speed, try to keep the three ships in range. ::Turns towards the CTO:: CTO: Disable their engines if you have to, Lieutenant.

CTO Lt Sollo says: 
CIV: Gladly. ::fires on the propulsion systems::

XO Cmdr Pazoski says: 
@::nods to the TO::

CEO LtJG JoBrel says: 
::makes sure power is sufficient for the gagh-destroying weapons::

ACTION: The first Klingon ship is hit and loses its engines, staring to drift. Immediately the other two change course. With nothing left they have one choice

ACTION: Both vessels are on maximum impulse on a ramming course against the Elara

CTO Lt Sollo says: 
FCO: Evasive manoeuvres!

Lady Serena says: 
@TO/XO: That’s it, I'll send you to confinement

XO Cmdr Pazoski says: 
@::stands from his chair:: Serena: You don't offer me a choice, I sacrifice one life or I sacrifice four.  We will dispose of K'Tor for you, but only because I have to.

CEO LtJG JoBrel says: 
FCO: If I have to fix anything...

TO Ens Boktor says: 
@::Having trouble controlling his nervous. Nearly called any words to the Lady. Stood up to attack her, but looked halfway the action to the XO for an reaction::

ACTION: In a very rough way, Lost manages to warp out of the crash site. Behind the Elara the two Klingon vessels crash into each other

CIV Cmdr Maor says: 
CEO: Open a channel to all the Klingon vessels, inform them they're guests of Starfleet for now. ::Turns his attention to the viewscreen:: CTO: Target their weapons system, Lieutenant. ::Turns towards the FCO:: FCO: Full reverse, keep your distance. Try to stay out of their way but in transport distance.

Lady Serena says: 
@XO: So maybe males do have reasoning. A vessel is ready for you below. In it are the coordinates to Ktor's HQ. Then I expect you to use your own vessel to destroy it

CEO LtJG JoBrel says: 
COM: Klingons: Welcome to Starfleet Brig services. We kindly request you keep your hands and legs inside the vehicle at all times. For your information, there are no emergency exits.

XO Cmdr Pazoski says: 
@::shakes his head at the TO:: TO: Stand down ensign, I believe her when she says we cannot hurt her here.

CEO LtJG JoBrel says: 
CIV: Sir, the remaining vessel is about to self-destruct!

XO Cmdr Pazoski says: 
@Serena: Show us to this ship.

CIV Cmdr Maor says: 
CTO: I'd appreciate if you'll let me handle things, Lieutenant. ::Turns towards the CEO:: CEO: Continue with the beam out, see if you can stop the sequence.

Lady Serena says: 
@::touches the TO's face:: TO: Such youth, but I would have killed you before you touched me

CEO LtJG JoBrel says: 
CIV: I can't stop the sequence Sir. I suggest we get some distance before it explodes.

TO Ens Boktor says: 
@:: Threading voice:: YES! We will get her somewhere else. If we only could help!

CIV Cmdr Maor says: 
::Nods:: FCO: Get us out. ::Turns towards the CTO:: CTO: Shields.

TO Ens Boktor says: 
@Lady Serana: We will meet, under other circumstances, I am sure. I know who wins then.

CEO LtJG JoBrel says: 
::energises the last bunch of Klingons - 15 total:: CIV: I have the last Klingons in the brig. 15 special guests

XO Cmdr Pazoski says: 
@::moves over to OPS, places a hand on his shoulder and whispers into his ear:: OPS: Don't do anything stupid, we will be back for you.  I promise.

OPS Lt Tar says: 
@::just nods but doesn't say a word::

CTO Lt Sollo says: 
::mutters:: CIV: Oh for god’s sake make up your mind. ::makes sure shields are 100%::

ACTION: The remainder Klingons join their friends safely in the Elara brig. The security officers have to stun most of them before they commit suicide

TO Ens Boktor says: 
@::Standing down. Resting in it. Nodding towards the XO:: XO: I will let it rest furthermore.

CIV Cmdr Maor says: 
FCO: Set course to the XO's location, maximum warp. ::Turns towards the CTO:: CTO: Get some security officers, see who we got down there.

CEO LtJG JoBrel says: 
CTO: Nice work mon

Lady Serena says: 
@OPS: As you can see Dear Dalin, the world is a very interesting place. and my ship even more so

ACTION: The Elara jumps to warp

TO Ens Boktor says: 
@::Nervously ticking his fingers on the side of the chair.

CTO Lt Sollo says: 
CEO: Thanks mon, ::contacts security who inform him that the klingons are contained:: CIV: The klingons are contained, security is setting about identifying now.

FCO Lost says: 
CIV: ETA 19 minutes ..but sir, there is nothing at the coordinates, nothing sensor can detect

CIV Cmdr Maor says: 
FCO: Any ion trails, Lost? Something that can hint us as to where they've gone?

CEO LtJG JoBrel says: 
::hums some reggae quietly as he works::

Lady Serena says: 
@::gets up:: TO/XO/OPS: Lets go, I will show you the landing bay myself

CTO Lt Sollo says: 
::joins in with the reggae humming::

CIV Cmdr Maor says: 
CTO: Understood, Lieutenant. I want you down there, with the prisoners. I want you to find out where they took the XO, and I have a hunch one of our prisoners can lead us there.

FCO Lost says: 
CIV: There is one, from the ship Commander Pazoski to. but it ends nowhere

CEO LtJG JoBrel says: 
::adds a bass rhythm to the reggae so it sounds good::

CTO Lt Sollo says: 
CIV: Err, commander, we already have those co-ordinates.

TO Ens Boktor says: 
@::Getting up from the chair. Leaving a lost feeling behind. Looking for the last time around, and following the lady.::

TO Ens Boktor says: 
@Self: SIGH!

CIV Cmdr Maor says: 
CTO: Are you paying attention? Lost just said they're not there.. Now, do I have to repeat my orders for the third time?

Lady Serena says: 
@::gets up and heads to the door, again expecting the others to follow, the 2 bodyguards are always behind the federation officers::

XO Cmdr Pazoski says: 
@::follows Serena, wondering if they are in fact inside a station::

CTO Lt Sollo says: 
CIV: Lost just said the ion trail led no-where, she didn't say there was nothing at the co-ordinates we have.

TO Ens Boktor says: 
@XO: Yezz zir.

CIV Cmdr Maor says: 
CTO: Sollo, I won't repeat myself again. I want you to go down there, and question whoever you feel is in charge. Understood?

@ACTION: The group is taken down well-decorated corridors and into a lift. At Serena's command the lift plummets down quickly

CIV Cmdr Maor says: 
FCO: Eta, Lieutenant?

CTO Lt Sollo says: 
::waves dismissively at the CIV as he steps into the turbolift muttering::

FCO Lost says: 
CIV: Ten minutes

@ACTION: Claxons start buzzing all around and Serena turns to her bodyguards

CIV Cmdr Maor says: 
::Nods:: CEO: See if you can assist the FCO, try to identify the reason why we can't scan that area. I rather we avoid another trap at this point.

TO Ens Boktor says: 
@::Looking at every detail in the lift. You never know, if you need it.::

CEO LtJG JoBrel says: 
CIV: Aye Sir.

Lady Serena says: 
@::tells the women something, and then turns the lift to go up instead:: XO: you've deceived us. That will cost you

XO Cmdr Pazoski says: 
@::tenses his body:: Serena: What are you talking about, we haven't deceived anyone?

OPS Lt Tar says: 
@::frowns as he hears the claxons, but doesn't do anything::

TO Ens Boktor says: 
@::head sinking to the ground::Self: there we go again.

CEO LtJG JoBrel says: 
CIV: There doesn’t seem, immediately, to be anything different about that space than that around it.

CTO Lt Sollo says: 
::storms into the brig and grabs a phaser from one of the security guys:: All: Right! Who is the highest-ranking officer here?

CIV Cmdr Maor says: 
CEO: Then why can't our sensors penetrate it?

Lady Serena says: 
@Bodyguards: Take them to the brig

CEO LtJG JoBrel says: 
CIV: It seems that there’s a pattern emanating from the region, about 10km radius...its very regular, perhaps repeated

CIV Cmdr Maor says: 
CEO: A jamming device of sorts?

@ACTION: As the lift stops Serena leaves and the crew gets a glympse of a vast control centre with lots of screens. But quickly the doors close and they start moving down again

TO Ens Boktor says: 
@::Resisting the arrest with force.::

Wormor says: 
CTO: I am. Why did you let us live?

CTO Lt Sollo says: 
::turns to a guard:: Sec: Get him out and take him to room one. ::turns and steps out of the brig::

ACTION: The security officer nods and takes Wormor from the brig and takes him to the CTO. Then he stays there holding the much larger Klingon

CEO LtJG JoBrel says: 
CIV: The pattern, it's moving Sir. And I have no way of saying whether it is a jamming device or not.

XO Cmdr Pazoski says: 
@::turns to face on of the guards:: Guard: I take it this has something to do with unexpected guests?

Guard says: 
@XO: You like to fake innocence a lot don't you pretty face?

CIV Cmdr Maor says: 
CEO: Understood. Prepare a probe, launch when ready.

Guard says: 
@XO: A Federation ship. Now tell me you have nothing to do with it human

CEO LtJG JoBrel says: 
::prepares a probe:: CIV: Ready and launching ::launches a micro probe::

CTO Lt Sollo says: 
Wormor: Have a seat. ::glaring at a PADD::

XO Cmdr Pazoski says: 
@::smiles an innocent smile:: Guard: I had nothing to do with it.  Most likely my Captain has already disposed of K'Tor and is now looking for us.  Between you and me, he is actually quite persistent.

CIV Cmdr Maor says: 
CEO: You said the pattern is moving, can you identify if it's moving at the same course as the ion trail we've discovered?

Wormor says: 
@XO: He will die you know. So will you

@ACTION: The lift comes to a stop and the two guards stand at the door expecting the group to exit

CEO LtJG JoBrel says: 
CIV: Checking.

TO Ens Boktor says: 
@::So far the resistance did not help. So the TO stops wisely his actions.::::

Wormor says: 
::remains standing::

XO Cmdr Pazoski says: 
@::stands still watching the female:: Guard: Why do you hate men so much?  What have we done to you that is so unforgivable?

ACTION: The microprobe reveals nothing more until it reaches the edge of the odd pattern and is disintegrated

CEO LtJG JoBrel says: 
::moves his fingers over the controls:: CIV: Negative Sir, it appears to be moving away from us. The ion trail finishes there.

CEO LtJG JoBrel says: 
CIV: And the probe was just disintegrated!

CTO Lt Sollo says: 
::barely glances up from his PADD as he rests his hand on the phaser:: Wormor: Sit..... Down.

Guard says: 
@::laughs:: XO: We don’t hate you, you are such good toys....in fact....if we go to our quarters maybe you can even have some fun before you die

CIV Cmdr Maor says: 
CEO: What was the reason?

CIV Cmdr Maor says: 
CEO: Humour me, Lieutenant. Has anyone ever tried modifying a pattern enhancer to work around jamming devices?

XO Cmdr Pazoski says: 
@::smiles again:: Guard: And leave this young thing with the other one?  That wouldn't be very responsible of me.  There is also the problem that my wife can kill me with a thought, I'd rather not let that happen just yet.

CEO LtJG JoBrel says: 
CIV: The ion trail finishes there...and I can't determine why the probe was disintegrated, but I'm on it.

Wormor says: 
CTO: Why?

TO Ens Boktor says: 
@Guard: Why do you destroy your toys?

Guard says: 
@TO: Only when they misbehave

CTO Lt Sollo says: 
Wormor: Don't test my patience Klingon, I have none now sit down!

@ACTION: At the XO's lack of cooperation the group is thrown into a small cell with nothing but bare walls

Wormor says: 
CTO: Or what? You will kill me? Be my guest

TO Ens Boktor says: 
@Guard: Like me. Well ok. That is my destiny.

ACTION: The Elara drops out of warp at the given coordinates

CTO Lt Sollo says: 
Wormor: Worse, I'll let you live and make sure you're transported to a penal colony where you'll live out the rest of your days doing laundry!

XO Cmdr Pazoski says: 
@::calls out to the guards before the guards wander off:: Guard: Tell Serena she will need to get me to speak with the Federation ship, it's her only hope of cutting some sort of deal.

Wormor says: 
::crosses his arms in front of his chest::

CIV Cmdr Maor says: 
FCO: Full stop. ::Turns to the CEO:: CEO: Found their ship?

@ACTON: Pazoski gets no response; there is no telling if they heard him

CEO LtJG JoBrel says: 
::scans for the ship:: CIV: Stand by

@ACTION: The cell is small with no furniture or other sort of facilities but it smells nicely. There is just one door, no visible controls

XO Cmdr Pazoski says: 
@::leans himself against a wall and slides to the floor:: TO: Sorry ensign, looks like I have put you into a bad situation

CTO Lt Sollo says: 
Wormor: So be it, ::turns to security:: Sec: Solitary confinement, he can stay there until we get back to a starbase where we can get him on a transport. ::gets up and walks out of the room::

ACTION: Security does as he is told

TO Ens Boktor says: 
@XO: No sorry sir. If we die, we die together and I will take one with me.. But before I die, I will try something. I want TO GET OUT OF THIS SHIP!!

CTO Lt Sollo says: 
::walks into the brig:: All: Who's next?

CEO LtJG JoBrel says: 
CIV: I'm only picking up debris, but I don’t think it’s the ship

ACTION: All the Klingons, some young, some old, all dressed in warrior clothing defiantly stare at the CTO, none speaks up

CIV Cmdr Maor says: 
CIV: Can you detect its origin?

TO Ens Boktor says: 
@::Immediately looking around in the brig. Looking for escape possibilities.::

XO Cmdr Pazoski says: 
@::smiles inwardly:: TO: I would prefer not to die at all, and I am pretty sure we are on some sort of cloaked space station.  Eventually someone is going to come to get us out of here, we need to be ready.

CTO Lt Sollo says: 
All: Speak up or I start shooting!

CIV Cmdr Maor says: 
FCO: Where is the pattern now, Lieutenant?

CEO LtJG JoBrel says: 
CIV: There is nothing to give me any information on its origin

TO Ens Boktor says: 
@XO: Yes sir. I think you right. You must be right. You are an xo and I am an ensign.

Tokot says: 
::a small Klingon boy walks scared next to the force field:: CTO: Maybe...I..we.... ::gulps:: CTO: Talk

FCO Lost says: 
CIV: It is gaining speed but very slowly, its 7 Km from us

XO Cmdr Pazoski says: 
@TO: That doesn't make me right all the time ::chuckles:: If it did I don't think we would be in such a mess ::laughs a bit louder::

TO Ens Boktor says: 
@Self: Grrrrrrr.

CTO Lt Sollo says: 
Sec: Room 2. ::walks into the room::

@ACTION: To much of the surprise of its occupants, the door to the small cell opens

CIV Cmdr Maor says: 
CEO: Understood. ::Turns to the FCO's direction:: FCO: Assume your course, take us in range. ::Turns back to the CEO:: CEO: Open a channel, all frequencies.

ACTION: Another security officer extracts the Klingon, the others look at him like they could kill him with their bare hands. He is taken to the room

FCO Lost says: 
CIV: Range...of what?

CIV Cmdr Maor says: 
FCO: Weapons range, Lieutenant. Weapons range.

CEO LtJG JoBrel says: 
CIV: Frequency open.

@ACTION: There is nothing at the door, just a small piece of paper on the floor with an L

CTO Lt Sollo says: 
Tokot: Sit down.

XO Cmdr Pazoski says: 
@::picks the piece of paper up and studies it for a moment:: TO: I think it's time we found a way out of this place, come on!

ACTION: Trembling, the young Klingon does as he is told

CIV Cmdr Maor says: 
COM: Pattern: This is the USS Elara, you're holding a few of our officers hostage. Return them immediately or face the consequences. ::Turns to the CEO:: CEO: Repeat that in a loop until they'll respond.

TO Ens Boktor says: 
@XO: Roger Sir!
