Host Frank_SM says:
The USS Europa has just gone to Yellow Alert.  Two of her shuttles are facing a threat from some unknown fighter craft.  Meanwhile the Captain and Chief Tactical officer, along with the rest of the Federation Delegates and Security Teams have escaped from their cell on the Chorie Homeworld.

Host Frank_SM says:
<<<<<<<<<<<<Resume Mission>>>>>>>>>>>

CSO_Enki says:
::Steps out onto the Bridge::  OPS: Do I have that channel to the fighters yet?  CEO: Shuttle status?

FCO_Voraye says:
$::In the cockpit of the Type-Nine::

Host CO_Llewellyn says:
@ ::on the surface, trying to keep the diplomats calm::

OPS_Clemons says:
::on the bridge, still searching for traces of the Captain and Hexx, while keeping an eye on the fighters::

OPS_Clemons says:
::opens a channel:: CSO: Channel open ma'am.

CMO_Madson says:
$::sitting on the edge of her seat::

CTO_Hexx says:
@::Moving slowly through the corridors, following the disguised security team.::

CSO_Enki says:
COM: Fighters: Unidentified fighters, this is the USS Europa.  Please explain your presence in this system.

OPS_Clemons says:
::shields are up and brings weapons to stand by::

Host CO_Llewellyn says:
@::tries to see if she can sense the general emotions of the Chorie in the immediate area, and if they've been alerted to their escape::

Host Frank_SM says:
&<Fighter ship> COM: Europa: CSO: There is nothing to explain.  Your shuttles will stand down and return to your ship, or they will be eliminated.

FCO_Voraye says:
$COM: Europa: CSO: I have no objections to that, ma'am.

CSO_Enki says:
COM: Fighter: That is acceptable.  Can you explain why such a device would be in your system?

FCO_Voraye says:
$::Plots a course to Europa, engages at full impulse, instructs the other shuttle to do the same::

Host CO_Llewellyn says:
@ ::whispers:: CTO: They are unaware we've escaped... we should get going quick, though

Host Frank_SM says:
Action: The fighters cloak as the shuttles return to the Europa.

FCO_Voraye says:
$::Gains landing clearance from the Shuttlebay, enters the bay::

CMO_Madson says:
$::listens to the orders and relaxes as she sees they're going back to the Europa::

CSO_Enki says:
OPS: Tell me you took tactical readings of those vessels... can you tell us anything?  How much of a fight could they put up against one of our shuttles?

CTO_Hexx says:
@CO: If'n we just charge through here, we'll run into these fellers with no warning.  Which reminds me; what is our objective?

FCO_Voraye says:
$CMO: Home again home again, jiggity jig.

FCO_Voraye says:
::Powers down the shuttle and opens the hatch::

CMO_Madson says:
$FCO:  So right.  I'm glad to be back.  ::smiles tensely at Voraye::

FCO_Voraye says:
CMO: Not up for this much excitement so soon out the gate?

OPS_Clemons says:
CSO: The readings show they have moderate weapons, they'd be a fight for the shuttles, but no match for Europa herself, sensors show that the cloaking device is neither Klingon nor Romulan Technology.

Host CO_Llewellyn says:
@CTO: Right now, we need to get out of here... and then get evidence of what happened... getting the diplomats and the civilians to safety is our top priority... ::pauses then remembers the Dorane ambassador:: Oh man... ::sighs:: We have to try and find the Dorane delegates too... first get our people out... maybe you can send the team ahead and...

CMO_Madson says:
$::raises an eyebrow::  It's been nonstop fun since I've arrived...life on the Europa is not dull from what I can tell.

Host CO_Llewellyn says:
@CTO: We'll have to sneak around in this base to try to find out what we can here.

FCO_Voraye says:
CMO: Amen to that. ::Steps out of the shuttle and pages the Turbolift::

Host CO_Llewellyn says:
@ Ambassador Danielson: Do you think you could keep your people calm, while these tactical officers try to get you out of here safe?

CSO_Enki says:
OPS: Oh well...

CSO_Enki says:
*FCO*: Lieutenant, how much work did you get done out there?

CTO_Hexx says:
@::Motions for the security guys to hold up and the group joins up for a conference.::

Host Frank_SM says:
@<Amb_Danielson> ::Shakes his head yes and tries to keep everyone calm and orderly::

CMO_Madson says:
$FCO:  I hope my staff has found something useful for this incident.  I wonder if the Europa has heard from the captain yet.

FCO_Voraye says:
*CSO*: We installed both Chips successfully, but were unable to begin scans for the Away Teams. I'm on my way to the bridge now. ::Hears the CMO:: Have we heard from the Captain yet? ::Steps into the lift::

CTO_Hexx says:
@All: Alright, let's see if'n we can locate a communications center or at least our gear.  Then we can contact the Europa.

CSO_Enki says:
*FCO*: Nothing yet.  OPS: Tap into the satellite, what data do we have?

FCO_Voraye says:
TL: Bridge.

Host CO_Llewellyn says:
@ CTO: Alright then... get them going... ::points to the civilians and the two disguised Tac officers::

OPS_Clemons says:
::taps into the satellite:: CSO: Let's see here, I'll need a few minutes to sort things through, ma'am.

Host CO_Llewellyn says:
@::takes a peak down a hallway:: CTO: Maybe this hallway will be promising? ::really has no idea, but doesn't want to sit around and do nothing::

CTO_Hexx says:
@::Nods and gets the group moving as before, quietly but steadily forward.::

CMO_Madson says:
::stands in the lift beside the FCO::  FCO:  That's too bad.  I hope they're all okay. I'd like a chance to meet them.

FCO_Voraye says:
CMO: You'll get a chance. Something like a hostage situation couldn't stop the Captain and Mr. Hexx. ::Steps onto the bridge and relieves the duty helmsmen::

Host CO_Llewellyn says:
@::looks down the hall, keeps whispering:: CTO: There's several people down that way....

OPS_Clemons says:
CSO: The satellites are a sort of sensor net, they show a number of people at the end of a hallway, would you like it on screen?  The data is being sent to an uninhabited area of the planet.

CMO_Madson says:
FCO:  That's good to know.  I'll see you later then.  Have to get back to sickbay.  ::the doors close on the turbolift:: TL:  Sickbay.

CTO_Hexx says:
@::Nods to the Captain and indicates she and the group should stay put.  Then moves up with the disguised guards.::  Sec Guys: Let's try to grab one of these fellers.  We need some answers.

CSO_Enki says:
OPS: A hallway?  Let's see it...

Host CO_Llewellyn says:
@::keeps the group quiet::

FCO_Voraye says:
::Nods to Lieutenant Clemons as he orients himself with the helm::

OPS_Clemons says:
CSO: Alrighty. ::pops the picture onto the main viewer:: There it is.

CTO_Hexx says:
@::Moves ahead, under "guard" by the two security guards.::

CMO_Madson says:
::steps off the lift and moves down the hall and on into sickbay. Nods to a nurse and physician working::

CTO_Hexx says:
@::Approaches the group of Chorie::

CMO_Madson says:
::walks into the lab area to see lots of little sample bottles::  Dr Lennox:  I see OPS came through for us.  How many how have you tested yet?

Host Frank_SM says:
Action: At the end of the hallway is a very large room.  Upon closer inspection it is a launch area for shuttles and fighter craft.  There are many, many ships there, as well as several people presumably doing maintenance.

FCO_Voraye says:
::Thinks to self "Oooh, pretty fighters. Can we get fighters like that?"::

CMO_Madson says:
<Dr Lennox> CMO:  Just started on the first samples so far.  ::senses the next question without her asking::  No 'clean' ones yet.  But there's always hope...we have plenty to try.  ::makes a sweeping motion over the stacks of little bottles::

CTO_Hexx says:
@::Changes plans and takes the two guards behind a crate.  Checks the area for alarm panels and guards, then assigns targets.::

FCO_Voraye says:
::Leans over to OPS:: OPS: See those, they're pretty. We need some craft like that.

OPS_Clemons says:
FCO: What craft? There's nothing there, Josh.

FCO_Voraye says:
OPS: Those craft. ::Points at the screen:: Just like the ones flanking the shuttles earlier.

Host CO_Llewellyn says:
@::senses the CTO's tension rise, wonders what is going on over there::

FCO_Voraye says:
::Blinks, rubs eyes:: Aloud: They're.....gone.

OPS_Clemons says:
FCO: What's gone?

CTO_Hexx says:
@::Eases the three of them back out the way they came and rejoins the group.::

FCO_Voraye says:
OPS: Maybe I just need some water. ::Heads to the replicator:: CPU: Water, Frosted Glass, 6* Celsius. ::Picks up the glass and chugs the water, getting some on his collar::

CMO_Madson says:
::peers into the samples:: Dr Lennox:  I do hope one of these is the lucky one.  Sure would make things simpler.  ::stands back up:: Any luck with a bacterial match?

Host CO_Llewellyn says:
@CTO: What did you find?

CTO_Hexx says:
@CO: ::Briefs the CO on what they found and the presence of the armed guards ahead.::

FCO_Voraye says:
::Returns to the helm feeling refreshed::

OPS_Clemons says:
FCO: Feeling better?

Host CO_Llewellyn says:
@::sighs:: CTO: Oh great... 6 armed guards! ::still hushed:: Let's try to find another away out...

CTO_Hexx says:
@::Nods and takes the group back the way they came, looking for doors and other corridors to follow.::

Host CO_Llewellyn says:
@::keeps with the diplomats trying to be a reassuring presence::

FCO_Voraye says:
OPS: Significantly. By the way, after duty shift ends-if duty shift ends regularly-want to meet in the Piano lounge. I composed this new thing with a guitar part and I want to hear how it sounds.

OPS_Clemons says:
FCO: Sure.  Sounds fun, what's it like?

CMO_Madson says:
<Dr Lennox> CMO:  The computer's just started to identify a couple of tentative candidates.

FCO_Voraye says:
OPS: It has this sort of feel to it, but the bridge goes all classical for a tidbit. It's.....unique, to say the least.

FCO_Voraye says:
OPS: Speaking of which, how do you catch a unique rabbit?

OPS_Clemons says:
FCO: Sure sounds that way.

CTO_Hexx says:
@::Stops and listens at the door, then opens it, the two guards entering first, weapons ready.::

Host Frank_SM says:
Action: The door opens into another hallway.

OPS_Clemons says:
FCO: Unique up on it.

Host CO_Llewellyn says:
@::tries to sense other people outside of the group and their proximity, sees a hallway, breathes a sigh of relief::

FCO_Voraye says:
::Deflates:: OPS: You're not already supposed to know the punch line.

OPS_Clemons says:
FCO: Well, jokes are a big past time in England, and you would be surprised how alike they are in England as they are in the USA.

CMO_Madson says:
::takes a look at the two bacteria’s' structure and superimposes the hormone next to it::

Host Frank_SM says:
Action: At the end of the hall are several offices with names on the doors.  One in particular stands out as "General Stellan".

FCO_Voraye says:
OPS: Very true. Under different circumstances, this would be a wonderful topic of conversation. I'd imagine you're a wealth of knowledge on the similarities and differences of England and the Americas.

OPS_Clemons says:
FCO: I suppose you could say that.

Host Frank_SM says:
Action: Several people can be heard, and for those who are able, felt approaching.

CTO_Hexx says:
@::Takes one of the weapons from his security man.::  CO: Can you tell if he's in there?  Cause I really want to thank that hombre for his hospitality.  ::Clenches the weapon making his knuckles crack.::

Host CO_Llewellyn says:
@::notes the Chorie are not supposed to have the level of tech that is here:: CTO: I sense several people coming our way... two people in the room....

CTO_Hexx says:
@CO: Alright, no time then. ::Takes a position beside the door, his other armed man on the opposite side.  Crouches down and on the appropriate signal, opens the door.  The two of them enter quickly, covering the occupants.::  @Occupants: Hands up, or that tract lighting is the last thing you'll see.

Host Frank_SM says:
Action: The team enters the room and finds 2 men talking over some kind of map.  They quickly put their hands up, but say nothing.  One is "Ambassador" Stellan.

CTO_Hexx says:
@CO: Get the 'em all into the room and close the door.  ::Indicates the diplomats.::

Host CO_Llewellyn says:
@::gets the group in and closes the door, then turns and narrows her eyes at Stellan::

CTO_Hexx says:
@::Moves over to the two men and prods them back from the table, away from the desk.  Has his other man grab a phaser and begin distributing their gear.::

Host CO_Llewellyn says:
@::patronizing tone:: Amb Stellan: Oh Ambassador... so nice to see you again. ::smiles sort of menacingly::

Host Frank_SM says:
Action: The sensor scan the Europa preformed on the uninhabited are the data from the satellites was being sent reveals something very unexpected.

CMO_Madson says:
::sits up, disappointed with the two candidates.  Pulls up the algorithm for the computer search and changes the parameters slightly after having her memory refreshed on the hormone's structure::

Host CO_Llewellyn says:
@::takes her phaser back and looks at Stellan::

CTO_Hexx says:
@::With the door to the room closed, has his men search the ambassador and his mate for weapons, comm devices etc.  Then puts them in the corner.  Prepares to cover the door.::

Host CO_Llewellyn says:
@CTO: Can we get these people beamed out of here? ::tries to sense if others are coming::

CTO_Hexx says:
@::Nods at the CO and tries his comm badge.::

Host CO_Llewellyn says:
@::pins her badge on quickly::

CTO_Hexx says:
*Europa*: Europa, do you read?

Host CO_Llewellyn says:
@ Ambassador Stellan: Make no sudden moves, Stellan... or I might be happy... errr... forced to use this. ::waggles her phaser at him::

OPS_Clemons says:
*CTO*: This is Lt. Clemons, it is good to hear your voice, what is your status?

CTO_Hexx says:
@CO: Watch those two.  They're slipperier than a bag of eels in a vat a' bear grease.  If'n they move, shoot 'em.

CTO_Hexx says:
@::Adds with an apologetic smile::  CO: Ma'am.

Host CO_Llewellyn says:
@::nods at the CTO::

CTO_Hexx says:
*OPS*: Clemons.  We're in a tight spot pardner.  If'n you can, lock onto my signal and come a'runnin.  We're inside some sort of Chorie base.

OPS_Clemons says:
*CTO*: Sorry, mate, I can't get your signals, see if you can get someone there to disable whatever is keeping us from locking onto you.

Host CO_Llewellyn says:
*OPS*: Try to triangulate our signals... ::then hears OPS, narrows her eyes at Stellan:: Stellan: Where's the descrambler?

CTO_Hexx says:
@::Turns with a feral grin to Stellan::  Stellan: How 'bout it...ambassador?  ::Aims the Chorie weapon at him.::  Stellan: I have to say, I fiddled with the settings on this thing a bit, I'm not rightly sure what it'll do when I pull the trigger.

Host Frank_SM says:
Action: there is a very large area that contains minerals not from this world, apparently form the asteroids that bombarded it sixty years ago.  Among them is a very large amount of unrefined dilithium..

Host Frank_SM says:
Action: Stellan says nothing.

OPS_Clemons says:
*CO*: Sir, it's great to hear your voice too, I'll try to triangulate, but I doubt It'll work. ::attempts to triangulate the signals, and gets nothing.::

CTO_Hexx says:
@::Shrugs and raises the gun to fire at Stellan::

CTO_Hexx says:
@::Stuns the man next to Stellan::
