<<<<<<<<<<<<Begin Mission>>>>>>>>>>>

CO_Farrel says:
::Enters the bridge from her ready room, straightening a stray hair strand of her as she walks.::

XO_Durron says:
::standing on the bridge watching the crew::All: Captain on deck.

FCO_Kami says:
::Makes sure everything is at minimum power levels, keeping on course.::

CTO_Lingn says:
::follows Captain Farrel, buttoning his leather sleeveless Armor::

CNS_Cushwa says:
::looks up and growls softly::

FCO_Kami says:
::Looks back at the captain and CTO for a moment, then turns back to his console.::

CO_Farrel says:
::Walks to the command chair, wondering if the crew heard her screams from the ready room.:: XO: Thank you commander.  ::Smiles.:: Report.

CSO_Halsey says:
::salutes the captain::

CTO_Lingn says:
FCO: You have an eye problem?

FCO_Kami says:
CTO: Do you have a mental problem?

CO_Farrel says:
::Nods to Halsey.:: CSO: As you were commander.

CNS_Cushwa says:
::lies down next to the XO's chair::

CTO_Lingn says:
FCO: Perhaps a few hours in the Agony booth will change your attitude.

CSO_Halsey says:
::nods back and goes back to his station::

FCO_Kami says:
CTO: Try it!

CTO_Lingn says:
CO: Permission to discipline our FCO, my Captain?

FCO_Kami says:
::Looks back again with a cold glare.::

XO_Durron says:
::looks at the CTO and FCO:: CO: We are ten minutes out from the target, all power levels are at minimum, we are ready to engage when you give the word.

CO_Farrel says:
::Watches Tral from the corner of her eye excited by his aggressiveness.:: CTO: If you two have a conflict, why don't you solve it in a constructive way? ::Nods to the swords decorating the wall.::

CSO_Halsey says:
::scanning the area and the Ducet, only with passive sensors::

CTO_Lingn says:
::pulls a wicked looking sword off the Wall.:: FCO: Come here, you slim!

CO_Farrel says:
XO: Good.  CSO: Are you detecting any other ships in range of the Ducet?

FCO_Kami says:
::Gets up and pulls a dagger from his uniform.:: CTO: Ready when you are!

FCO_Kami says:
::Gets into a defensive stance.::

CNS_Cushwa says:
::perks ears and looks up at the XO::

CO_Farrel says:
::Takes her command chair, and crosses her legs, watching with a wicked smile.::

CSO_Halsey says:
CO: Nothing, sir. ::bored with the fight between FCO and CTO::

CTO_Lingn says:
:: raises the sword, and charges with a sadistic Glee::

XO_Durron says:
CO: This ::motions to the two combatant feeling annoyed:: is accomplishing nothing.

FCO_Kami says:
::Dodges his charge and slices across his side.::

CSO_Halsey says:
CTO & FCO: Do you have to do this every week? Why don't you kill each other and do us a favor? We have an Empire to build, we don’t have time for this. 

FCO_Kami says:
CSO: You wanna be next?!

CTO_Lingn says:
::trips the FCO, and as soon as he hits the ground, he chops off a finger on the FCO::

CO_Farrel says:
XO: Oh now commander as I'm sure our counselor will agree, it's important to resolve a conflict as soon as possible.   ::reaches down to pet the kitty.::

CNS_Cushwa says:
::purrs softly::

FCO_Kami says:
::Winces but recovers quickly and slices up towards the CTO.::

CSO_Halsey says:
::laughs:: FCO: Keep dreaming, kid. I was murdering senior officers when you were still using diapers.

CTO_Lingn says:
:;slams the FCO down with his boot::

XO_Durron says:
::smiles at the sight of blood than smiles at the CNS:: CO: Very well, captain.

FCO_Kami says:
CSO: What's a diaper? I was born with this dagger in my hand. My mom screamed like a dying pig.

CTO_Lingn says:
FCO: Stay down, or I will chop your head off next...

FCO_Kami says:
CTO: We'll see about that! ::Leaps up and away from the CTO.::

CO_Farrel says:
::Stands, she's had her fun.:: CTO/FCO: Alright gentlemen, you've had your fun, time to stand down.  We have a mission to accomplish.

CTO_Lingn says:
::stands down::

FCO_Kami says:
::Looks at the CO with a stubborn glare.::

FCO_Kami says:
::Stands down reluctantly.::

CO_Farrel says:
CTO/FCO: Good boys...  ::Returns to her chair, and strokes Cushwa softly.::

CTO_Lingn says:
::puts the sword up, and moves to his station, which is conveniently behind the Captain's chair::

CNS_Cushwa says:
::closes her eyes and lies down::
CO_Farrel says:
FCO: ETA Lt.?

FCO_Kami says:
::Returns his dagger to its sheath in his uniform, picks his finger off the floor and tosses it at the CTO. Sits back at his console.::

XO_Durron says:
::looks at the CTO than takes an open station where he can watch the largest number of crew::

Host Frank_SM says:
Action: The Europa is coming to within range of the Ducet being able to detect them.  The Poorly armed freighter begins to make a run for it.

CNS_Cushwa says:
::blinks and looks up at the XO::

CO_Farrel says:
::Catches Kami's finger and wonders something.:: CNS: Do you like meat little kitty?

CTO_Lingn says:
::readies his assault teams::

FCO_Kami says:
CO: We're almost there..., Captain.

CSO_Halsey says:
CO: We have been detected. The Ducet is escaping...

CO_Farrel says:
XO: Sound battle stations.  CTO: Shields and weapons to full power, disable them quickly.

CNS_Cushwa says:
::sits up and sniffs::

XO_Durron says:
::looks at the CO and waits for the order.::*Shipwide* All stations, power to full.

CO_Farrel says:
::Let's the counselor sniff the finger.::  

CTO_Lingn says:
:: does as his Mistress orders and rains fire on the Ducet, intent on disabling them.:: CO: Yes, my mistress..

Host Frank_SM says:
Action: The Ducet fires it's aft disruptor cannon, hoping to somehow disable the Europa.  It's Captain and crew know they are outclassed, and send out a distress call.

CNS_Cushwa says:
::growls and snatches the finger::

CO_Farrel says:
CSO: What are they doing now?

CTO_Lingn says:
CSO: Block that distress signal, if you would...

CO_Farrel says:
CNS: Good kitty...  

CSO_Halsey says:
::tries to jam the subspace frequencies:: 

CSO_Halsey says:
CTO: I don't work for you, Andorian.

Host Frank_SM says:
Action: The distress call is successfully jammed.

CSO_Halsey says:
CO: They are calling for back up, they know the victory is ours.

CO_Farrel says:
CSO: Did their distress call get through?

CNS_Cushwa says:
::lies down and rests her head on her fluffy tail::

CO_Farrel says:
CTO: What's the Ducet's damage?

CSO_Halsey says:
CO: No, sir.

CO_Farrel says:
CSO: Good job.

FCO_Kami says:
::Takes a bandage from his pocket and wraps it around his stub of a finger.::

Host Frank_SM says:
Action: The Europa receives a transmission from the Ducet, she is trying to surrender.

CSO_Halsey says:
CO: Aye, sir.

XO_Durron says:
::walks quietly over to the CTO's console and says quietly:: CTO:It would be good, Lieutenant, if you keep in mind whom gives the orders here.

CTO_Lingn says:
::ignores Durron:: CO: Mistress, they are surrendering...

CSO_Halsey says:
::looks at Durron speaking to Lingn and smiles::

CO_Farrel says:
CTO: Hold.  CSO: What's their damage?  This could be a trap.

FCO_Kami says:
::Looks at the CSO.:: Self: Coward....

CTO_Lingn says:
~~~CO: Your stupid XO is lecturing me again. I can't wait to kill him and take his job...~~~

CSO_Halsey says:
CO: No shields, no weapons. They are at our mercy.

CSO_Halsey says:
Self: And we don't have mercy.

CO_Farrel says:
CSO: Very good.  CTO: Drop shields and transport assault teams aboard.  As soon as they're over raise shields.  ~~~CTO: Don't worry honey soon... just don't challenge him directly yet, he has many supporters on the ship~~~

CSO_Halsey says:
FCO: What's your problem now? Looking for loosing another finger?

CTO_Lingn says:
::sends his assault teams onboard::

FCO_Kami says:
CSO: Looking for a new skull for my collection. Yours is a bit small, but it'll do.

XO_Durron says:
::looks at Lingn for a moment standing uncomfortably close to him:: CTO: You are treading dangerously close to insubordination, boy, and we both know what the punishment for that is, don't we.  I thought you didn't like the agony chamber.

CNS_Cushwa says:
::sits up and scratches behind an ear::

CTO_Lingn says:
~~~CO: Get him off my back, my mistress. He is threatening me with insubordination...~~~

CO_Farrel says:
CNS: Oh is kitty itchy?  ::Helps Cushwa scratch behind her ear.::

CNS_Cushwa says:
CO: Ruu......ruu.... ::wags tail happily::

FCO_Kami says:
::Pulls out a small diamond pendant he had stolen on his last shore-leave. Lets it hang down.::

FCO_Kami says:
::Watches the light reflect off of it onto the nearby wall.::

XO_Durron says:
::tilts his head slightly examining the CTO than speaks loudly enough that the CO...and most of the rest of the bridge can hear:: CTO: Do you have a problem with your hearing?  Perhaps we need to take a trip to sickbay Lieutenant.

CSO_Halsey says:
FCO: Do you practice these phrases in front of the mirror, kid? You should spend more time practicing with your dagger, after all, you only have nine fingers to loose.

CTO_Lingn says:
::continues to hold his anger in, and watches Hali, waiting for her reaction.:: XO: Understood, Sir...

CO_Farrel says:
::Smiles and speaks with her head half turned.:: XO: Commander, I need you to monitor the progress of our assault teams.

CTO_Lingn says:
::massages Hali as she sits in her seat::

FCO_Kami says:
::Chuckles at the CSO.:: CSO: Am I bothering you with my phrases? Come and shut me up! ::Stands up and faces the CSO, the pendant still hanging down in his hand.::

Host Frank_SM says:
Action: the Boarding party notifies the Europa the Ducet is secured and they have taken 15 Cardassian prisoners.

CNS_Cushwa says:
::blinks and looks over at the FCO's pendant::

CTO_Lingn says:
~~~CO: One of my men will be coming up to the bridge with the Evidence to kill Durron...~~~

CO_Farrel says:
::Moans with delight as Tral massage her deep.::  ~~~CTO: Just in time.  I think he suspects something.~~~

XO_Durron says:
::is no longer 'annoyed' but is seathingly angry:: CO: By your command, sir. but keep your 'pet' on a better leash.

XO_Durron says:
::checks the console:: CO: The boarding team has secured the Ducet and have taken 
prisoners, sir.

CO_Farrel says:
XO: But kitty doesn't like a leash... do you kitty-witty... ::Scratches the back of her neck now.::

XO_Durron says:
::eyes the CO and says quietly:: CO: Not the pet I was referring to.

CTO_Lingn says:
<Sgt. Patton> ::walks on the bridge with a Cardassian Communicator in his Hand. He walks up to the Captain.:: CO: Captain, we found something most peculiar left in a Jeffries Tube.

CNS_Cushwa says:
::purrs softly::

CSO_Halsey says:
::takes his dagger out:: FCO: You will be spending a wonderful season at the agony booth, Lt, unless you shut up and do you job.

FCO_Kami says:
CSO: Make me!

XO_Durron says:
::eyes the sgt..:: Patton: Than report it to your department head, or myself, do not bother the captain with trivialities.

CO_Farrel says:
::Looks to Durron ignoring his last statement.::  CTO: In form command we have taken the Ducet.  Have the prisoners transferred aboard and into a holding cell.

CTO_Lingn says:
CO: Yes, my Mistress...

CO_Farrel says:
::Notices Durron's reaction:: Sgt.: Oh what is it?

CTO_Lingn says:
<Sgt. Patton> CO: This communicator, it's Cardassian, but it has the XO's fingerprints on it...

FCO_Kami says:
CSO: Come on! You wanna challenge me? Then do something about it.

FCO_Kami says:
::Brings his dagger back out and puts away the pendant.::

CSO_Halsey says:
FCO: If it were for me, you'd be floating in space. But I'm not running the show here. But just 
our captain says the word you'll be as dead as those Cardassian on the Ducet will be.

XO_Durron says:
::eyes Patton for a moment::CO: This is a plant, and you with your vaunted telepathic abilities know that.

CTO_Lingn says:
<Sgt. Patton> CO: We tested it, and it's the Genuine Article...

FCO_Kami says:
::Chuckles.:: CSO: Heh. Just as I thought. Coward.
CO_Farrel says:
Sgt: I see...  ::Her hand moves to her phaser.:: Guards, take commander Durron into custody.  XO: Perhaps commander, but we will have to take the necessary precautions until that is determined...You understand.

CNS_Cushwa says:
::gets to her feet and growls::

FCO_Kami says:
::Looks over at the situation taking place with the XO.::

FCO_Kami says:
::Raises an eyebrow and watches.::

CTO_Lingn says:
CO:  Command has responded with a set of coordinates to bring the Ducet to and that the prisoners know nothing, you may do with them as you wish.

CO_Farrel says:
ALL (but XO): Return to your posts...

XO_Durron says:
::laughs:: CO: Of course I understand, You and your pet have been planning this for a long time, about an hour from what  I can tell.

FCO_Kami says:
::Walks over to his post and takes his seat. Continues to watch the happenings.

CNS_Cushwa says:
::grumbles in frustration and lies back down next to the CO's chair::

CTO_Lingn says:
::motions for the guards to take him to the Agony booth located on the bridge::

CTO_Lingn says:
XO: Prove it....

FCO_Kami says:
::Brings his pendant back out and looks at it.::

CO_Farrel says:
CTO: Cardassians... such inferior species.  They evolved from reptiles you know?  Have the crew executed.  ~~~...maybe one of the Cardassians will agree to implicate Durron to be spared execution?~~~

XO_Durron says:
CO: This is not over, this hasn't even begun. ::glances at the CSO:: CTO: Why?  Why do I need to prove it when the web of lies is so thick that I could cut it with your wit. ::places his hand on the but of his phaser than looks at the guards::

CTO_Lingn says:
~~~CO: I'll arrange it...~~~ ::makes the necessary arrangements::

CSO_Halsey says:
::takes his phaser out and stuns CTO and then turns to CO:: CO: Let Durron leave.

CSO_Halsey says:
::points CO's head:: CO: It's not on stun anymore. ::sets it to kill::

CO_Farrel says:
Guards: No agony booth, just confine him to quarters for now.  ::Sees the commander reach for his phaser.:: XO: There's no need for that commander.  There will be a full investigation.

XO_Durron says:
::smiles at the sound of phaser fire behind him and draws on the two guards::Guards: I don't keep this thing on stun.  But I don't want to hurt you either.

FCO_Kami says:
::Watches as the CSO fires upon the CTO.:: CSO: Maybe you're not such a coward after all.

CSO_Halsey says:
FCO: You with us? I vote for a change in command. No more pets, just soldiers. what do you think?

CTO_Lingn says:
<Sgt Patton> :: aims his rifle on Durron's head:: ALL: Drop it, or Durron dies...

CO_Farrel says:
CSO: What would you do in my place, commander?  I have received evidence that Durron may be a traitor.  All I want to do is run a simple investigation, and remove Durron from a conflict of interest?  

FCO_Kami says:
::Thinks for a moment.:: CSO: I'm with no one, but I guess I agree.

CSO_Halsey says:
Patton: CO's dies first. Do what you want.

CNS_Cushwa says:
::tilts head and watches the FCO's pendant::

CTO_Lingn says:
<Sgt Patton> ::hits a button on his suit calling for Loyal men to come to the Rescue...::

XO_Durron says:
::shoots Patton in the gut, the phaser set on vaporize, than rolls away from the spot he was to a wall::

FCO_Kami says:
::Continues to watch for a moment. Lets the pendant dangle as he does so.::

CSO_Halsey says:
::blocks access to the bridge::

CTO_Lingn says:
::wakes up... and shoots Durron in the head::

CTO_Lingn says:
::turns his disruptor to the CSO::

CTO_Lingn says:
CSO: Join us or die...

CNS_Cushwa says:
::perks ears at the sound of phaser fire and looks up::

XO_Durron says:
::comes up and twitches out of the CTO's line of fire wondering how he woke up that quickly than fires on the prostrate CTO::

CO_Farrel says:
::As Halsey blocks access to the bridge she grabs his phaser and knocks it out of his hand.::

Host Frank_SM says:
Action: The shot from the CTO narrowly misses the XO's head.

CSO_Halsey says:
CTO: I'll die anyway. ::his phaser flies off his hand::

XO_Durron says:
::keeps moving setting the phaser on stun and firing at the captain::

CTO_Lingn says:
:: dodges as he hears his loyal guards cut through the Turbolift doors::

CO_Farrel says:
::Takes Halsey as a hostage, and places Halsey in front of her as a shield.::

CNS_Cushwa says:
::leaps to her feet and snarls::

CTO_Lingn says:
:: grabs his other disruptor, and fire upon Durron..::

CSO_Halsey says:
XO: Kill her, I'd rather die than have an inferior race commanding and imperial vessel longer.

XO_Durron says:
CNS: Beautiful, some help here would be appreciated ::keeps ducking and rolling away from the CTO returning fire::

CTO_Lingn says:
<Loyal Guards> ::break through and aims at Durron::

CTO_Lingn says:
XO: Your outnumbered, stand down, and we will overlook your Treason....

XO_Durron says:
Guards: Stand down, we are in the middle of an authorized change of command.

CO_Farrel says:
::Tightens her choke hold on Halsey and holds her phaser at his head.::  ALL: Hold everyone... Let's not turn a misunderstanding into a blood bath...

CNS_Cushwa says:
::whines and looks at Durron::

CTO_Lingn says:
<Loyal Guards> XO: We serve the Captain, not you...

XO_Durron says:
::ducks behind a console and mutters than says::CO: Your boy was the one who decided to plant the evidence, this is your blood bath, if you don't want it than get him to stand down. ::begins fiddling with his phaser::

CO_Farrel says:
ALL: The matter of the communicator will be investigated, however, since there is obviously some crew "protest" Durron will be aloud to remain on duty during the investigation.  XO: Does that sound agreeable Commander?

XO_Durron says:
CO: That is agreeable, captain.

CTO_Lingn says:
~~~CO: The arrangements have been made. But we should do this with more guards....~~~

CO_Farrel says:
CSO: No hard feelings Mr. Halsey.  ::Releases her choke hold on him and gently caresses the bruise she caused.:: CSO/XO: Just remember if you betray our agreement, I should have just enough time to scramble one of your brains before I die.

CSO_Halsey says:
CO: So I get to keep my head? Great! Why don't we shake hand like civilized barbarians and continue our mission?

Host Capt_Tucker says:
@COM: Europa:  This is sector Command to Europa, respond please.

CO_Farrel says:
CSO: Alright then. ::Reaches out her hand.::

CNS_Cushwa says:
::perks ears and barks at the screen::

CSO_Halsey says:
::shakes CO's hand:: CO/XO/CTO: Just let me remember all of us that if for whatever personal disagreement we screw our mission, we all will be punish, hardly.

XO_Durron says:
::stands up slowly and looks at the CSO and Captain than looks at the screen doing his best to keep the phaser out of sight of the viewer:: CO: It seams we have a call.

CO_Farrel says:
CSO: that is a good point...  ::Takes her chair as if nothing happened.:: COM: Tucker: Captain, this is the Europa here.

CTO_Lingn says:
:: calls more men to the bridge, while recovering Patton's Rifle::

CSO_Halsey says:
::picks his phaser from the floor::

Host Capt_Tucker says:
@COM: Europa: Captain Farrell, it has been nearly a half hour since you reported capturing the Ducet, yet you haven't towed her back to coordinates.  Is there a problem?

XO_Durron says:
::signals main engineering to send a repair crew to fix the turbolift door::

CO_Farrel says:
COMM: Tucker: Negative Captain.  We had a minor malfunction, but we are on our way now sir.

CNS_Cushwa says:
::looks at the viewer and wags her tail::

XO_Durron says:
::resets his phaser from overload to vaporize::

Host Capt_Tucker says:
@COM: Europa: This is an urgent mission Farrell... and if there are any more malfunctions, your head will adorn my wall.  ::Several humanoid heads can be seen on the wall behind Tucker::  Tucker out.

FCO_Kami says:
::Looks back forward. Puts away the pendant.::

CTO_Lingn says:
~~~CO: We should report our findings on Durron to Command. They will send an Elite Team to remove him...~~~

CNS_Cushwa says:
::whines as the sparkly is gone, looks over at the FCO and barks::

CO_Farrel says:
~~~CTO: Not yet my dear.  We'll have to wait for now.~~~  ALL: You heard the captain... ::Tries to hide her shiver at seeing the heads.:: FCO: Lock on a tractor beam to the Ducet and set a course for those coordinates at best possible towing speed.

FCO_Kami says:
::Looks back at the CNS curiously.::

CTO_Lingn says:
~~~CO: He will pay dearly for killing my best man....~~~

FCO_Kami says:
CO: Aye.... ::Does so.::

FCO_Kami says:
::Sets the course and begins to move both ships.::

CO_Farrel says:
~~~CTO: Durron has more support than I thought, we may have to call this off for now...~~~

XO_Durron says:
::watches the engineers fix the turbolift door than returns to watching the CTO very carefully::

Host Capt_Tucker says:
