<<< Resume Europa Mission, Stardate 10111.11, 20:02 Eastern >>>

FCO_B`lee says:
::fondles his phaser::

CEO_Tyreen says:
::staggers into ME, still feeling a bit sick, checks on condition of the core::

Host MikeyS says:
ACTION: The core is still there.

FCO_B`lee says:
::glances about, looking for the CEO ... but doesn't see him on the bridge, puts the phaser back in its storage area::

ATO_P`Rraos says:
::at TAC2, resuming his scans::

Host CO_Senn says:
::on the bridge, sitting in her chair::

XO_Rya says:
::Gets out of her chair and makes her way over to Lt. Taylor.::

CNS_Azhure says:
::Enters the bridge, relatively dry::

CSO_Vekh says:
::at Science One, uploading Rassin's files to determine his modus operandi::

OPS_Taylor says:
::Sitting at OPS::

FCO_B`lee says:
::spots the CNS and wonders why she's only relatively dry::

FCO_B`lee says:
CNS: Did you know you're relatively wet?

CNS_Azhure says:
::Heads over to the captain::

CSO_Vekh says:
::re-reads the spectral data from the explosion on the surface of the colony::

FCO_B`lee says:
::sees she is ignoring him and goes back to his work keeping a constant distance from the freighter::

CNS_Azhure says:
::Reaches a hand to her slightly damp hair::  FCO:  Hmmm... should dry soon enough.

CTO_Nimitz says:
::comes back from the replicator with a cup of coffee::

XO_Rya says:
OPS: Lt, Captain Senn said you might have some information for me.

CEO_Tyreen says:
*Bridge*CO: We are still trying to stay out of sight of that ship, right?

Host CO_Senn says:
::looks up at the CNS and taps her badge:: *CEO* That is acurate, Ensign.

CNS_Azhure says:
CO: Sees the captains mind elsewhere (literally)  Something bothering you?

CTO_Nimitz says:
Self: You have to leave this, it's going to kill you

CSO_Vekh says:
Computer: compare data of explosion on stardate 10111.04 to those available in the file of Rassin

CNS_Azhure says:
<CO>::Sees the captains mind elsewhere (literally::  CO:  Something bothering you?

FCO_B`lee says:
::whistles while he works::

CEO_Tyreen says:
*CO*:Well, what if we sprinkled some ionized plasma into our wake to disrupt the warp signature.  We're are currently flitting about like a drunken firefly.

OPS_Taylor says:
XO: Information?  What kind do you need, sir?

Host CO_Senn says:
*CEO* Look it over with Lieutenants Taylor and Nimitz, and if they have no objection, give it a go.

XO_Rya says:
OPS: A list of potential destinations that that vessel might be heading for.

Host CO_Senn says:
CNS: Dylan Jakobs... ::smiles::

ATO_P`Rraos says:
CTO: Sirrr, do you wish forrr me to go overrr the explosion data orrr continue scanning the ship?

CEO_Tyreen says:
*OPS* What do you say?

CTO_Nimitz says:
::looks over P'Rraos shoulder:: ATO: What are you working on?

CNS_Azhure says:
CO:  I don't suppose anyone got any information on him?

ATO_P`Rraos says:
::looks back to the CTO:: I was updating the scan, but waiting on yourrr orrrderrrs sirrr.

CSO_Vekh says:
<Computer> CSO: Analysis of explosion data shows a standard matter-antimatter fusion device. List of organizations know for using them as follows ::12 races are listed::

FCO_B`lee says:
::maintains a constant distance from the freighter so that the Europa is *probably* outside of the ship's sensor range::

Host CO_Senn says:
CNS: Not yet. We can suppose he is our sneaky friend Bojasyl... and is on that vessel ::points at the viewscreen:: But then, he may not.

CSO_Vekh says:
::sighs at the results:: Self: Not a good prospect

CEO_Tyreen says:
*CTO*: What do you think of my plan?

XO_Rya says:
::Rubs her lower back while looking over Taylor's shoulder.::

CNS_Azhure says:
CO: Pity no one was able to get a reading.  Chasing Goondomoes is not my favorite past time.

CTO_Nimitz says:
TO: Keep working on that. Take the power readings and extrapolate the maximun available firepower for that ship, if they were using all available room and energy çfor weapons.

Host CO_Senn says:
::wonders what a goondomoe is, but refrains from asking:: CNS: I think I understand how you feel.

FCO_B`lee says:
::speaks to himself:: Self: Man, I am really bor ... brilliant.

ATO_P`Rraos says:
CTO: Aye sirrr. ::begins crossrefrencing the scans and ship type to probable armaments::

CSO_Vekh says:
CO: Captain, I've been trying to cross refer the information from the recent explosion with that available in Rassin's files

SEC_KTracht says:
::enters the bridge, surveying all the officers::

CNS_Azhure says:
CO:  I don't suppose they actually took whom they wanted and it was not some kind of decoy to get us away....

Host CO_Senn says:
::looks at the Orion:: CSO: And...?

XO_Rya says:
::Looks over and listens to Vekh's report while waiting for information from Lt. Taylor.::

SEC_KTracht says:
::paces the bridge, trying not to be in the way of any of the officers, just walking about::

CSO_Vekh says:
CO: I've got a list of at least 12 organizations known for using such a devide. At this point it is impossible to trace it to a specific one

FCO_B`lee says:
::glances from the CSO to the CO and back again::

Host CO_Senn says:
CNS: I don't think they expected us so soon, to be honest. ::looks back at Vekh::

OPS_Taylor says:
::Is tracking the tragetory of the ships as the computer types the information out slowly::

Host MikeyS says:
ACTION: The mercenary ship does a "Crazy Ivan"... a US term that meant the (Soviet) vessel they were trailing suddenly changed their heading.

XO_Rya says:
CSO: Do any of them have known bases in this region of space?

SEC_KTracht says:
::stops strategically besides the FCO console, leaning against the wall::

Host CO_Senn says:
CSO: Well, I didn't expect much but at least we tried. Thank you, Commander.

CTO_Nimitz says:
*CEO*: As long as you make sure you throw it behing us, I would like to be flying inside a cloud of plasma. Be careful with the shields, set their frequency not to match the plasma frequency otherwise it would be like firing to ourselves

CNS_Azhure says:
CSO:  Do any of those listed have an relationship to the one we are after?

OPS_Taylor says:
XO: Commander, That ship is doing a "Crazy Ivan" a Full 90 degrees about.

FCO_B`lee says:
::looks over at K'Tracht who is doing a great job of being in the way for someone who is not in the way:: TO: Something I can do for you, big guy?

CEO_Tyreen says:
*CTO* Aye, aye

CEO_Tyreen says:
::proceeds to mask the warp signature::

XO_Rya says:
CO: They're turning to face us Captain.

SEC_KTracht says:
::shakes his head:: FCO : Nope.. I'm.. "watching"

CTO_Nimitz says:
CSO: If you need someone experienced with explosives, K'tracht is your man :point at the Lt::

CSO_Vekh says:
::continues analysing the data on the vessel's ion trail::

FCO_B`lee says:
::is surprised when he hears that:: CO: Sorry Captain ... I thought we were beyond their sensor range.

CNS_Azhure says:
::Turns to look at the screen::

CEO_Tyreen says:
::is becoming mesmerized by the dancing colour of the warp core::

Host CO_Senn says:
XO, FCO: I guess they knew we wouldn't leave them be.

Host CO_Senn says:
All: Red alert.

XO_Rya says:
::Looks from the CSO to OPS and wonders if anyone is going to answer her questions, but decides that it's a moot point, nods to the Captain and returns to her seat.:: CO: Agreed

ATO_P`Rraos says:
::scans for merc ship's status::

CSO_Vekh says:
CNS: I'll look into it Counselor ::feels odd at calling someone 'counselor' after being one for the most part of the year::

SEC_KTracht says:
::again, moves to another side of the bridge, NOT being in the way of anyone, and finally stands besides the TL doors nearest to the engineering console::

Host CO_Senn says:
FCO: Match their new heading... just out of their sensor range as before.

CNS_Azhure says:
::Smiles at the CSO::

FCO_B`lee says:
::turns in his seat:: CO: Captain? There new heading brings them back towards us. You want to turn around?

CTO_Nimitz says:
SEC: Lt, I need you for a special task.

CSO_Vekh says:
::rather belayed, turns to face the XO:: XO: Sorry for my distraction sir. I'll be correlating the data on known bases in this area of space in my search

Host XO_Rya says:
::Frowns and gets back up and turns to look at the CSO and OPS officers::

SEC_KTracht says:
::approaches the CTO:: CTO : Yes sir?

Host XO_Rya says:
CSO: Thank you Commander Vekh.  OPS: Any luck yet Lt. Taylor?

CSO_Vekh says:
::splits his console to show the data on terrorist bases and Rassin's files at the same time::

FCO_B`lee says:
::turns back to his console:: CO: Correction Captain, they just changed course again ... I'm laying in a parallel course correction.

OPS_Taylor says:
XO: Still triangulating the angle of travel, the computer is still crunching the numbers Slowly, sir!

Host CO_Senn says:
FCO: Good. Keep after them and notify me of any course changes.

FCO_B`lee says:
::nods, but doesn't respond to the Captain::

CTO_Nimitz says:
Sec: You're known for having a gift to obtain information from unusual sources...if you know what I mean...contact everyone you know, I try to get as much information as you can about these guys, their ship was seen in the Orion system, if you have some friends there it would be extremely useful

Host XO_Rya says:
::Bites the inside of her lower lip and nods.:: OPS: Thank you Mr. Taylor. Let me know when you have more information.

OPS_Taylor says:
XO: Aye, sir.

SEC_KTracht says:
::frowns and growls:: CTO : With all due respect, sir.. Being a Klingon you should know better than to even hint i have any connection to those backstabbing p'tacks that call themselves the Orion Sindicate...

Host XO_Rya says:
::Easing back down into her seat, Alara turns to Captain Senn::

Host CO_Senn says:
::turns to Rya:: XO: A word with you, commander. ::in a low voice::

CNS_Azhure says:
::Looks at the CTO and makes no comment of her time as an orion slave... it was interesting to be... green.::

Host XO_Rya says:
::Raises an eyebrow and decides that what she was about to say is pointless.:: CO: Yes Captain?

SEC_KTracht says:
::grumphs again:: CTO : But i can try.. Other means...

CTO_Nimitz says:
SEC: Of course I don't suggest that. But there's a lot of people in the Orion sector that doesn't belong to the Sindicate, bar owners for instance.

Host CO_Senn says:
::takes a breath and keeps talking in a low voice:: XO: Our goal is to get Rassin. In the case we were to engage and something happened to me... don't play it in order to take prisoners. They won't give us that advantage.

ATO_P`Rraos says:
CTO: Sirrr, I believe we should pass this inforrrmation to intelligence and see if they have any inforrrmation on this ship or it's type sirrr. Maybe something ourrr scans might not pick up at this distance.

SEC_KTracht says:
::eyes the CTO incredulously:: CTO : And your'e suggesting i should know many bartenders there? ::growls and turns around:: CTO : If you wheren't my superior.....

Host MikeyS says:
ACTION: The ship turns slightly again.... there is only one habitated planet within its course: Ferenginar.

CTO_Nimitz says:
::notices Azhure's looking at him::Self: That new perfum is finally paying off!

Host XO_Rya says:
<whispering> CO: Don't negotiate?

Host CO_Senn says:
XO: Not if they attack. We'll get him if... ::looks up:: if the situation is right. But if attacked... well, we can feel sorry for them later.

Host MikeyS says:
ACTION: Travel time to Ferenginar: 34 hours.

OPS_Taylor says:
CO: The ship is heading for Ferenginar...

SEC_KTracht says:
::heads for a panel, and opens an encripted channel to the Klingon Colony of B'Thark, and awaits an answer::

CTO_Nimitz says:
::laughs:: Sec: Come on, you're klingon, good klingons celebrate as often as possible, the insult would be if I thought you don't know any bartenders

FCO_B`lee says:
All: This is getting annoying ... all this cloak and dagger just to head back to Ferenginar...

Host XO_Rya says:
::Stares at the viewscreen for a moment, thinking and then nods.:: CO: I can live with that, but you need to promise not to go over there then.

CNS_Azhure says:
::Listens inadvertently to the CO and XO converstation and says nothing.::

Host CO_Senn says:
OPS: Thanks Mr. Taylor.

CSO_Vekh says:
::brings up a schematic view of the projected course of the freighter to Ferenginar and analyses it closely::

SEC_KTracht says:
::only grunts in reply to the CTO's remarks::

Host CO_Senn says:
XO: I am talking about the eventuality of finding myself incapacitated to finish this mission.

CSO_Vekh says:
XO/CNS: I've digged up some new information related to the explosions

ATO_P`Rraos says:
::continues his data extrapolation::

SEC_KTracht says:
::after the communication's channel is open, sends a text only message.. and grins as the reply comes..::

CNS_Azhure says:
::Turns to the CSO::  CSO:  And?

CSO_Vekh says:
CNS: Looks like the same type of explosive was used on an attack on a planet in the Tyopic system a few months ago

Host XO_Rya says:
::Looks over at Drayan and nods, but first turns her attention back to the Captain:: CO: Okay. ::Looks at Captain Senn for another moment, questions racing through her brain.::

Host CO_Senn says:
::turns around to look at Vekh, knowing fully well that Rya is looking at her::

CNS_Azhure says:
CSO:  What was destroyed?

ATO_P`Rraos says:
::frowns, transfers the data to the CTO's console and then walks over to him:: CTO: Sirrr, I have finished my computations on the enemy ship. I think you should give them a look.

SEC_KTracht says:
::places another inquiry to his source,a very specific question..::

CSO_Vekh says:
CNS: And a group of suspected bounty hunters were seen in the area immediately before the explosions. I'm trying to get information on their identities from Tyopic authorities

Host XO_Rya says:
::Sighs and tries to look over at OPS, but can no longer comfortably turn due to the baby, so she once again gets up and walks over to him.::

SEC_KTracht says:
CTO : Sir... I think i know who that ship belongs to, and why they have taken Rassin.. ::types up a thank you message on his console, and closes the encripted connection.::

CNS_Azhure says:
::Looks at the XO and CO::  CO/XO:  Sounds like the same MO.

SEC_KTracht says:
::turns from the console to face the CTO::

CTO_Nimitz says:
::leaves K'tracht alone, as the klingon seems not to be having a good day and turns to P'Rraos:: TO: Ýou already have it Mr. P'Rraos? I'm impressed, let's take a look

Host XO_Rya says:
::Nods in agreement at Azhure::

Host CO_Senn says:
::turns again and nods at Azhure:: CNS: Very similar indeed.

CTO_Nimitz says:
SEC: I'll be with you in a minute. ::walks to TAC2::

Host XO_Rya says:
OPS: Lt. Taylor, have we recieved any information from the Ferengi on casualties in the blast?

SEC_KTracht says:
::raises an eyebrow, and grumbles:: Self : Fine.. Asks me to find out anything, then dismisses me...

CSO_Vekh says:
CNS/XO/CO: Only extra bit of information is that the target appartment was held by a Human. Other than that ::shrugs::

CNS_Azhure says:
All:  That does not make sense.  Why would they be targeting humans?

Host XO_Rya says:
::Looks over at Vekh:: CSO: Is an image of the human available?

SEC_KTracht says:
::moves away and returns to his post beside the TL doors::

FCO_B`lee says:
::talks to himself at the helm controls:: Self: There was a woman from venus...

SEC_KTracht says:
::overhearing the conversations going on on the bridge, shakes his head::

CNS_Azhure says:
::Looks at the FCO with raised eyebrow::

Host CO_Senn says:
::stands up and walks to B'lee::

OPS_Taylor says:
XO: No known causalities, from the authorities, since it was away from the Ferengi Sector.

FCO_B`lee says:
::tapping at his controls in a rythmic manner, glances up at the Captain and nods ... going back to his controls::

ATO_P`Rraos says:
CTO: With the limited data we have frrrom the scans, and the size of the ship, plus crrross-rrrefrencing that with what arrrmaments will fit the ship has given us what inforrrmation we have sirrr.

CSO_Vekh says:
::works on his console:: XO: here it is, sir ::puts image on an auxiliary screen::

Host CO_Senn says:
FCO: How long until we caught up with them if we increased speed?

CTO_Nimitz says:
TO: Well done. Transfer this results to my station, I'll discuss them with Cmdr. Rya later.

Host XO_Rya says:
OPS: Thank you Lt. Taylor. ::Walks over to Science one and looks at the screen Vekh has called up.::

FCO_B`lee says:
::raises an eyebrow:: CO: Catch up to them? Depends on how fast you wanna go. I could have us sharing the same space within fifteen minutes.

Host XO_Rya says:
CO: Captain, it's Rassin.

ATO_P`Rraos says:
CTO: Aye sirrr. What arrre yourrr currrrent orrrderrrs forrr me then sirrr?

CSO_Vekh says:
::interesting correlations popping up::

Host CO_Senn says:
FCO: That sounds acceptable. Not yet though, but get ready and inform engineering we'll be needing to go real fast...

FCO_B`lee says:
::raises a vulcan-like eyebrow and sighs:: CO: Aye sir...

Host CO_Senn says:
::walks to the center of the bridge area:: XO: I had an inkling.

Host XO_Rya says:
::Quietly:: CSO: Thank you Shanny err Commander Vekh.

FCO_B`lee says:
::opens a channel to engineering:: *CEO*: Stand by for high warp, Tyreen...

Host CO_Senn says:
CTO: Analysis of the mercenary vessel's weapons/shields capabilities, Lieutenant Nimitz?

CTO_Nimitz says:
::"go chase some mice"::TO:I want you to make sure you are familiar with every Europa tactical system, review your classes from the academy, we may get into battle soon. SEC: You got a answer? Already?

CEO_Tyreen says:
*FCO* Just make sure and point her in the right direction.

CSO_Vekh says:
::gives the XO...a small smile ... making sure the FCO does not see it:: XO: You're welcome commander

ATO_P`Rraos says:
::returns to TAC2 and sends all extrapolated data to the CTO, then begins going over the Europa's tactical systems::

FCO_B`lee says:
::spotted the CSO making googly faces at the XO and shakes his head::

SEC_KTracht says:
::oh.. now he comes for me...:: CTO : Yes sir.. Seems this ship is owned by a large group of galactic bounty hunters... Also, That there seems to have been a very high bounty placed on Rassin's head... and i'm guessing our Ferengi friends where the ones doing it...

Host XO_Rya says:
::Smiles at him and then heads back to her seat, making an effort not to 'accidentally' bump into the FCO's seat.::

CTO_Nimitz says:
CO: I have that and some clues about who owns that ship and the connection with Rassin. What do you want first?

Host CO_Senn says:
CTO: Chief of Tactical's choice ::smiles at him::

SEC_KTracht says:
::steps back to his post besides the TL doors::

FCO_B`lee says:
::seat gets jostled and he glances back at the XO::

Host XO_Rya says:
CO: Are we contacting them? ::Ignores Lt. B'lee::

OPS_Taylor says:
::Looks at the FCO get jolted and snickers::

Host CO_Senn says:
XO: Not yet. We'll first let them see us... then hail them... then wait for them to fire first. I think we have enough grounds to request the vessel be searched. Not that they are going to let us.

CNS_Azhure says:
::Steps over to the TL doors and leans on the other side from K'Tracht::

CSO_Vekh says:
::observes the 'cooperation' among the bridge crew:: Self: quit that, you not a CNS anymore...

Host XO_Rya says:
::Nods:: CO: Makes sense.

SEC_KTracht says:
::turns his head:: CNS: You wanted something, Counselor?

CTO_Nimitz says:
CO: The ship is similar to a an Intrepid class, taking for granted they are using all available power and room for weapons. They can hurt us but we can destroy them. It belongs to a large group of bounty hunters. Lt. K'tracht suggested the ferengi may have hire them to find Rassin.

FCO_B`lee says:
::thinks the CSO would probably make a better CNS ... makes a note to suggest that to him sometime::

CNS_Azhure says:
SEC:  I want many things.

Host XO_Rya says:
::Smiles at the Captain.:: CO: Well, this should be um interesting.

Host CO_Senn says:
::nods at Nimitz:: CTO: Good report, my compliments to your staff.

CSO_Vekh says:
::pre-sets the short range sensors for a throughout scan of the freighter once they come into rage::

Host CO_Senn says:
::takes a seat:: CTO: Please take us to red alert, Lieutenant.

SEC_KTracht says:
::turns his eyes forward again:: CNS : Bah..

CTO_Nimitz says:
CO: I work with the best ::smiles and glances at P'Rraos and K'tracht::

Host XO_Rya says:
::Cranes her head around so she can look at Lt. Nimitz:: CTO: Lt. Nimitz, could we destablize the magnetic field around their ship if we have too?

CNS_Azhure says:
::Smiles at K'Tracht and turns her eyes towards the FCO with a sigh::

FCO_B`lee says:
::thinks, finally some action, and leans forward in his chair as the ship goes to red alert::

Host CO_Senn says:
::looks at the Bajoran's back:: FCO: Ready to go faster, Lieutenant B'lee?

FCO_B`lee says:
::smiles:: CO: I live for it, Captain...

CEO_Tyreen says:
::hears the klaxon go up again::

Host CO_Senn says:
FCO: Engage, Lieutenant.

SEC_KTracht says:
::turns to the CNS again:: CNS : Don't you have somewhere else t be? We're on Red Alert status, if you haven't noticed..

FCO_B`lee says:
::nods and presses the appropriate controls taking the ship up through the warp scale rather quickly:: CO: Aye sir...

OPS_Taylor says:
::Goes to red alert status, brings up the Ship systems on the side panel.::

ATO_P`Rraos says:
::cross-checks available power and weapons against known tactical manuevers looking for best matches and options for use::

SEC_KTracht says:
::clears his throat:: CO : Captain... If i may?

Host CO_Senn says:
CTO: Have the weapons ready. Just make sure we don't fire before they do.

CEO_Tyreen says:
*FCO*Wow...careful with my baby...speed up, fine, but take it easy.

Host CO_Senn says:
SEC: Lieutenant?

CNS_Azhure says:
::Gives the security officer a look as if seeing right into him.::

FCO_B`lee says:
::grimaces:: *CEO*: You worry about that engines ... I'll worry about the flying.

SEC_KTracht says:
::steps up towards the center seat:: CO : Ma'am.. These bounty hunters only care about getting paid for their job... If you give them garantees that they'll recieve their bounty even if they surrender Rassin, they'll give you no trouble at all..

CEO_Tyreen says:
*FCO*You better worry about the engines, too, or there won't be any flying.

CNS_Azhure says:
::Nods in agreement::

FCO_B`lee says:
*CEO*: That's what shuttles are for...

Host CO_Senn says:
SEC: I am afraid they are responsible for two explosions and a number of casualties.

SEC_KTracht says:
::shakes his head slightly after that gaze from the Counselor.. HE felt.. Dizzy?::

CEO_Tyreen says:
*FCO* This isn't a shuttle, take it easy.

Host XO_Rya says:
::Gets comfortable in her seat and buckles the special seatbelt she had installed to protect the baby.::

Host CO_Senn says:
SEC: They are not 'innocent' bounty hunters.

SEC_KTracht says:
::nods:: CO : Yes ma'am... I never said they where... You could use that to your advantage, though…

CEO_Tyreen says:
*FCO* You wanna go fast? ::narrows the plasma and increases acceleration efficiency:: 

Host CO_Senn says:
SEC: Understood. Thank you, K'Tracht.

CSO_Vekh says:
::begins running a few simulations on methods to disrupt the freighter's warp field::

Host CO_Senn says:
::sits in her chair::

SEC_KTracht says:
::steps back to his post near the TL, staring at the CNS all the way::

ATO_P`Rraos says:
::checks torpedo loadout and readiness status and then checks phaser bank status::

SEC_KTracht says:
CNS : What did you just do to me?

Host CO_Senn says:
XO: Any signs they have seen us yet?

CTO_Nimitz says:
TO: Report on weapons

Host CO_Senn says:
::looks up at K'Tracht::

CNS_Azhure says:
SEC:  I didn't do anything.

FCO_B`lee says:
CO/XO: If they haven't, you better believe they will soon ... passing warp 9.

Host XO_Rya says:
::Looking down at the screen next to her chair.:: CO: If they have they're not showing any sign of it.

SEC_KTracht says:
::frowns:: CNS : You looked at me... It felt.. Strange..

ATO_P`Rraos says:
CTO: Sirrr, all torrrpedos accounted forrr and rrready for use. Launcherrrs and phaserrr banks arrre also rrready forrr use.

Host MikeyS says:
ACTION: Time to intercept the mercenary ship: 12 minutes.

SEC_KTracht says:
::notices the CO's look, and puts on an inquisitive look, as if expecting a question::

Host CO_Senn says:
FCO: Just make sure we will have warp capability after this, lieutenant ::smiles::

FCO_B`lee says:
::turns slightly in his chair as something occurs to him:: XO: We do know that there *is* someone aboard that ship ... right?

CNS_Azhure says:
::Lightly touches the security officers shoulder before returning to her chair::  SEC:  It was just your imagination.

CEO_Tyreen says:
is listening on an open connection:: *CO*Don't worry about the engines, ma'am.  They're taken care of.

SEC_KTracht says:
::watches as the CNS walks back to her seat, and shakes his head::

Host XO_Rya says:
FCO: That's what we're going to find out. Either way they seem to be looking for the same man we are.

CTO_Nimitz says:
::wonders what the heck is happening with his Sec officer and the CNS::

CNS_Azhure says:
::Sits down, her thoughts elsewhere::

FCO_B`lee says:
::mutters and turns back to his console:: Self: Not if there is no one onboard...

Host CO_Senn says:
*CEO* Thank you, Ensign. Let us know if anything is not as it should be.

OPS_Taylor says:
::Looks at K'Tracht and returns to his console.::

Host XO_Rya says:
::Leans forward in her chair a bit.:: FCO: Someone must be aboard. When we get within range, scan for lifesigns.

Host MikeyS says:
ACTION: The mercenary ship's aft shields go to full and their aft torpedo bays are powering up.

FCO_B`lee says:
::hears the announcements of weapons powering up and braces himself against his console and he begins to decelerate from warp 9::

ATO_P`Rraos says:
CTO: Sirrr, theirrr shields and weapons have gone hot sirrr.

CSO_Vekh says:
XO: I'm picking a power build-up in the ship

Host CO_Senn says:
FCO: Evade those torpedoes, but keep towards the ship.

Host XO_Rya says:
CSO: Understood.

CEO_Tyreen says:
*Bridge* Shifting power over to weapons and shields, let's roll.

CTO_Nimitz says:
TO: Aknowledged CO: They're preparing his shields and weapons

Host MikeyS says:
ACTION: Time to intercept: 8 minutes.

Host CO_Senn says:
CTO: Full power to forward shields.

Host CO_Senn says:
OPS: Have the damage control teams ready.

Host XO_Rya says:
::Mutters:: CO: Well, we know they've seen us now.

Host CO_Senn says:
::mutters back:: XO: No kidding, Alara...

Host XO_Rya says:
CSO: Please scan the vessel for lifesigns and let me know if you find any human or part Betazoid ones.

CTO_Nimitz says:
CO: Understood ::motion P'Rraos to do it::

Host CO_Senn says:
OPS: And hail the mercenary vessel, please.

ATO_P`Rraos says:
::raises forward shields to full power::

OPS_Taylor says:
::Hears about the Torpedoes going hot:: CO: Aye, sir. ::Kicks the ERT (Emergency Response Teams) into gear and Hails the Ship::

Host XO_Rya says:
::Blushes slightly for stating the obvious::

CSO_Vekh says:
XO: Aye sir ::trains sensors at freighter::

Host CO_Senn says:
::smiles at Alara::

FCO_B`lee says:
::begins to take evasive action::

Host MikeyS says:
ACTION: The Merc ship is responding..

OPS_Taylor says:
CO: Merc. Ship responding.

Host CO_Senn says:
OPS: On screen.

OPS_Taylor says:
::Puts the <Cell Phone> On Screen::

Host Capt_Samsung says:
@COMM: Europa: Explain your intentions immediately!

ATO_P`Rraos says:
::continues to monitor enemy ship's weapon situation::

Host CO_Senn says:
COM: Samsung: This is Captain Senn from the USS Europa. Stand down your weapons, we have reasons to believe you are carrying a... ::bites her lower lip:: stowaway.

OPS_Taylor says:
::Wonders why the Captain doesn't state the obvious::

CSO_Vekh says:
::frowns at the readings:: XO: Commander, I'm not detecting any Human/Betazoid hybrids on board

Host CO_Senn says:
::the captain needs to try her best at diplomacy after all. That is, before blowing up the bad guys::

Host XO_Rya says:
::Drops her mental shields to try and see if she can sense Rassin, but given that she only encountered him briefly once before she doens't hold out much hope...that and the fact that he might not even be on board.:: CSO: Thank you Commander Vekh.

Host Capt_Samsung says:
@COMM: Europa: Even if we are, that is none of your concern. We will fire upon you unless you break off your pursuit immediately.

Host CO_Senn says:
COM: Samsung: There has also been this... incident just prior to your departure from the Ferengi colony. We have reasons to believe the responsible party is onboard your vessel.

Host CO_Senn says:
COM: Samsung: Let me remind you that aiding a known convict is a felony. We have the authority to take your vessel by force if you do not comply.

OPS_Taylor says:
::Wants to hurt the one who planted the bomb::

ATO_P`Rraos says:
::continues to monitor the enemy ship's weapon status::

Host Capt_Samsung says:
@COM: Europa: We are aware of the incident on the planet you mentioned. I can assure you we did not mean to harm anyone. We were given permission by the Ferengi authorities there to demolish the building to make way for a new casino.

Host XO_Rya says:
::Hears what he says and types a quick note to Lt. Nimitz asking him to verify that::

Host CO_Senn says:
COM: Samsung: Then you will have no problem with us corroborating that information with the Ferengi authorities. May I ask why was our probe destroyed while you were in orbit?

Host Capt_Samsung says:
@COM: Europa: We are currently en route to Ferenginar to receive our payment for that demolition.

OPS_Taylor says:
::Mumbles something to the tone of yeah right::

Host CO_Senn says:
COM: Samsung: We'll escort you until the information is verified. ::glances at Rya, shaking her head::

CTO_Nimitz says:
::shows P’Raos Rya's message:: SEC: Verify that.

Host CO_Senn says:
::whispers:: XO: A building to be demolished, with no warning signs in the exterior?

CSO_Vekh says:
::wonders since when demolition of inhabited buildings is allowed:: Self: Ferengi....

Host Capt_Samsung says:
@COM: Europa: The Ferengi are deftly afraid of spies intruding upon their resorts and stealing clientele, we were authorized to destroy your probe.

Host XO_Rya says:
::Nods and whispers:: CO: I've asked Lt. Nimitz to verify the story, but it sounds implausible to me.

ATO_P`Rraos says:
::nods to the CTO::

Host CO_Senn says:
COM: Samsung: All right, I'll grant you the benefit of the doubt. Maintain your course, we'll contact you again shortly.

Host CO_Senn says:
::makes a sign to Taylor to cut off the comm::

Host Capt_Samsung says:
@COM: Europa: Very well, Cap--- ::gets cut off::

Host XO_Rya says:
::Still being quite:: CO: Even if it comes back true, I don't trust it.

OPS_Taylor says:
::Closes the Commlink:: CO: Comlink closed

Host CO_Senn says:
XO: It does to me as well. Why the course change if they intended going to Ferenginar all along...? Why was the bomb placed in Bojasyl's apartment?

ATO_P`Rraos says:
::sends message to resort to verify Samsung's claims::

Host CO_Senn says:
::building a pretty bad mood for some reason::

Host Capt_Samsung says:
