Host Frank_SM says:
<<<<<<<<<<<Resume Mission>>>>>>>>>>>>
CEO_Vernius says:
@::near the docking port of the alien cargo ship::
CNS_Chitwa says:
::wipes her face and looks up as the TL stops::
CO_Durron says:
::triggers the turbolift doors open and waits for the CNS to exit::
CEO_Vernius says:
@*CO*: I'm about to make contact with Sierra-Four, any final orders, sir?
CO_Durron says:
*CEO* Do not get yourself killed.
CEO_Vernius says:
@*CO*: Aye, aye, sir.
CEO_Vernius says:
@::arrives at the docking port::
CNS_Chitwa says:
::exits the TL and walks down the corridor to Sickbay::
CO_Durron says:
::follows the CNS nodding periodically to the crewmen as they pass::
CEO_Vernius says:
@::notes the absence of guards and moves to the comm panel, motioning for the security team to take up defensive stations::
CO_Durron says:
<PC correction, edit crewmen to crewpersons>
CEO_Vernius says:
@::hits the general comm button and waits for a response::
CNS_Chitwa says:
::enters Sickbay and nods at Windfeather:: CO: Captain, if you could have a seat on that bio-bed overr therre please.
CO_Durron says:
::enters the sickbay and sits on the edge of the bio-bed than stands up and walks around it, and sits on the other side, than walks around it again and leans where he was sitting originally.::
Host Felgar says:
@::Answers the comm panel:: CEO: What?  You weren't supposed to be here for another hour...
CEO_Vernius says:
@Felgar: Greetings, sir. I represent Captain Durron of the Starship Europa a highly capable combat ship. Would you have use for a combat escort to your next destination? Our escort fees are reasonable.
Host Felgar says:
@*CEO*: Oh, thought you were someone else... now what do you want?
CNS_Chitwa says:
::smirks:: CO: Comfy? ::pulls out a tricorder and starts scanning him::
CEO_Vernius says:
@*Felgar*: Just what I said, sir. We're looking for work as an escort ship to a merchant vessel, such as yourself
Host Felgar says:
@*CEO*: I try to stay away from "highly capable combat ships" when I'm in these parts.... if you get my meaning.
CO_Durron says:
::continues to move from one side of the bed to the other not really sitting still long enough for the CNS to get a good scan.  He watches the two other occupied biobeds in the room::
CNS_Chitwa says:
CO: Hey...sit still now. Don't make me have someone hold you down.
CEO_Vernius says:
@*Felgar*: I do indeed, sir. However, we are not pirates and have already fought off a determined pirate attack. We offer this protection to you. I'm sure we can come to some sort of agreement
CO_Durron says:
::eyes the Bio-bed with the alien on it than sits still for a bit::
Host Felgar says:
@*CEO*: And I take it that since you "represent" Captain Durron, that is not your name?
CNS_Chitwa says:
::finishes her scan and sets the tricorder down, picking up a dermal regenerator:: CO: Okay, this will only take a second.
CEO_Vernius says:
@*Felgar*: No, sir. I am the Chief Engineer of the Europa, Lieutenant Vernius
CO_Durron says:
::taps his foot rapidly:: CNS: How do you think the CEO's doing?
Host Felgar says:
@*CEO*: Well then Lieutenant, it seems that I need to talk to someone else... and perhaps you do too.
CEO_Vernius says:
@*Felgar*: Sir, I have deputized authority to speak in the Captain's name, you should treat my words as though they came from him. Are you the Captain of this vessel?
CNS_Chitwa says:
::runs the dermal regenerator over the CO's cuts and bruises:: CO: I'm surre he's just fine.
CO_Durron says:
::looks at the other Bio-bed and tenses visibly than relaxes very slowly::
Host Felgar says:
@*CEO*: I will speak to the Captain... and I also will need a tour of your ship, to see how "highly capable" it really is.  I will accompany you back to your ship, if that's OK with you.
CNS_Chitwa says:
::sighs:: CO: See that wasn't so bad....now did you want a cookie?
CEO_Vernius says:
@*Felgar*: I will need to speak to your Captain personally, but yes you can accompany us back, if you come alone and unarmed
Host Felgar says:
@*CEO*: I am in command of this ship... and I'll be with you in a few minutes
CO_Durron says:
::looks around the sickbay like a caged animal:: CNS: No. Thank you though.  I really should be getting back to the bridge.
CNS_Chitwa says:
CO: Well go on then. I know you don't like spending any morrre time down herre then you have to....I hope it's not because of me.
CEO_Vernius says:
@*Felgar*: Very well, sir. Vernius out. ::disconnects the comm::
CEO_Vernius says:
@Security team: Be on alert, if they come charging out this door, I want them all dead. And don't let anyone sneak up on us from the station either. ::makes sure his H&K is chambered with the hammer back and the safety off::
CO_Durron says:
::stands up:: CNS: If it was because of you I'd give you orders that put you on the other end of the ship.  I'm sorry I haven't been around lately but...::shrugs::  CNS: Unless there is something you can do to help the XO I would like you on the bridge with me.
Host Felgar says:
@::Packs his things away and locks his cargo vault, then walks toward the docking hatch::
CNS_Chitwa says:
CO: Yes of courrrse sirrr. ::puts her tools back in the medkit::
CEO_Vernius says:
@::waits patiently, but with eyes taking in everything around him::
CO_Durron says:
::stands up and walks to the XO's bed, he touches her shoulder than draws his hand back and whispers in the XO's ear:: XO: You come on back here.  No more laying about on the job.
Host Felgar says:
Action: The Docking bay hatch opens and out walks a short fat pig-like creature who smells so bad that it is barely tolerable.
CO_Durron says:
::nods to the large entity protecting the XO and whispers a thank you, than heads quietly for the door and Turbolift::
Host Felgar says:
@CEO: Well Lieutenant, take me to this ship of yours.
CEO_Vernius says:
@Felgar: Greetings, sir. ::Ignores the stench and extends his hand in greeting::
CNS_Chitwa says:
<Windfeather> ::nods to the CO::
Host Felgar says:
@::Takes the CEO's hand in his grubby paw::
CEO_Vernius says:
@::nods and speaks to his team:: Davies: Take point.
CEO_Vernius says:
@Felgar: If you'll come this way, sir?
Host Felgar says:
@::Snorts then follows the CEO::
CO_Durron says:
::waits in the TL for the CNS his hands clenching and unclenching as he tries to relax::
CNS_Chitwa says:
::trots after the CO::
CEO_Vernius says:
@*CO*: Sir, we're enroute back to the Europa, with the Captain of the vessel, he insists on seeing the Europa.
CO_Durron says:
::steps out of the Turbolift and nearly collapses into the Big Chair:: *CEO* Understood.  I'll meet you at the docking port.
CEO_Vernius says:
@*CO*: Aye, sir.
CNS_Chitwa says:
CO: I'm surrre she'll be just fine.
CEO_Vernius says:
@Felgar: Captain Durron will meet us at the entrance to the Europa
CO_Durron says:
::stands back up and returns to the Turbolift::
CEO_Vernius says:
@::Surreptiously scans Felgar for weapons with his tricorder::
CO_Durron says:
::stops and ducks into his RR quickly changing his uniform tunic for a new one before returning to said Turbolift and ordering it to take him to the airlock::
Host Felgar says:
@CEO: Good, I can't wait to see your ship.
CNS_Chitwa says:
::blinks and looks at the CO:: CO: Orrderrs, sirr?
CEO_Vernius says:
@::Nods::
CO_Durron says:
::looks at the CNS:: CNS: Well I'll want your opinion of him so you had best come along.
Host Felgar says:
Action: After a brief trip through Kazushi Station, the CEO, Felgar, and the security team arrive back to the docking hatch of the Europa.
CNS_Chitwa says:
::grins:: CO: Okay. ::trots after him::
CO_Durron says:
::steps out of the turbolift and walks quickly to the airlock he pauses just inside the door waiting for the CEO's arrival::
CEO_Vernius says:
CO: Permission to come aboard, sir?
CO_Durron says:
CEO: Permission granted, Welcome back, Lieutenant.
CEO_Vernius says:
CO: Thank you, sir. ::steps over the threshold, salutes the colors and turns back to the open hatch:: CO: Sir, this is Captain Felgar.
CNS_Chitwa says:
::eyes go wide as she gets a whif of something stinky::
CO_Durron says:
::turns to the pig like alien and smiles despite the smell:: Felgar: Captain, Welcome aboard the USS Europa.  How do you do?
Host Felgar says:
::Steps forward and extends his filthy hand:: CO: Pleasure to meet you Captain Durron, I understand you have a business proposition for me?
CEO_Vernius says:
::looks amused:: CO: Captain Felgar refused to negotiate with me, and insisted on speaking with you, sir.
CNS_Chitwa says:
::whiskers curl::
CO_Durron says:
::nods once:: Felgar: I do, I am low on liquid resources but I have a 'highly capable combat vessel' and a good deal of time available to me.  I am sure you can see my problem.  I would be willing to provide protection to your vessel for a reasonable fee.
Host Felgar says:
CO: Sounds reasonable, but I want to see how capable your ship is... among other things.
CO_Durron says:
::folds his arms:: Felgar: How do you propose to do that?
CNS_Chitwa says:
::blinks and twitches her tail::
CEO_Vernius says:
::raises an eyebrow, but keeps his hand close to the butt of his pistol::
Host Felgar says:
CO: Basically I want to see your armaments, meet your crew.  I want to see if you're capable of protecting me, and also if, when we get out of range of Kazushi, try to make sure you're not gonna steall my cargo.  Though I daresay, it would hardly be worth the trouble.
CO_Durron says:
::returns his arms to his sides:: Felgar: Fair enough.  I'm sure you'll see that we are somewhat lacking on cargo space ship board, but Lieutenant Vernius and Lieutenant Chitwa will be glad to give you a tour of the ship.
Host Felgar says:
CO: Good.
CO_Durron says:
::turns to the CEO:: CEO: Give him the grand tour.  Once you have done that I would like you to report to me on the bridge.
CEO_Vernius says:
CO: Shall I get started?
CEO_Vernius says:
CO: Aye, sir
CO_Durron says:
CEO: By all means
CO_Durron says:
::nods to the other Captain:: Felgar: Captain, I look forward to our future business dealings.
Host Felgar says:
::Returns his nod and grunts::
CO_Durron says:
::turns and departs for the nearest Turbolift::
CEO_Vernius says:
Felgar: We'll start with the Phaser banks, which is our primary armament. This way, please.
Host Felgar says:
::Puls out a PADD and takes a few notes:: CEO: Good, excellent.
CNS_Chitwa says:
::blinks and looks at the CEO, then trots after him and the piggy::
Host Felgar says:
Action: The CEO and CNS Take Felgar on a tour of the ship.  Many of the crew show signs of barely tolerating his stench, but otherwise things go uneventfully.... 30 minutes later...
CEO_Vernius says:
Felgar: ... and this is the bridge. Our final stop.
CEO_Vernius says:
CO: Tour complete, sir.
CO_Durron says:
::stands up, and picks up a PADD:: Felgar: I am sure you have many things to think about, has the CEO given you a price for our services?
CNS_Chitwa says:
::pulls out a hankie and blows her nose:: Felgar: Sorry...fighting a cold.
Host Felgar says:
CO: Oh this is a grand ship... and certainly capable of providing an escort service.
Host Felgar says:
CO: However, I am a man of meager resources...
CO_Durron says:
Felgar: Thank you, for your kind words.  ::narrows his eyes:: Felgar: What would you be able to pay?
CEO_Vernius says:
::takes the tactical station and leaves an ear open to listen to the CO::
CNS_Chitwa says:
::replaces her hankie and takes OPS for the moment::
Host Felgar says:
::Obviously lying:: CO: Why Captain, my entire cargo is not worth the price your Engineer quoted.  I would be better off just dumping my cargo and returning home than to pay such an outrageous amount.
CEO_Vernius says:
::forwards the results of the scan on Sierra-four's cargo hold, showing the cargo is worth more than 10 times the fee he had suggested, to the captain::
CO_Durron says:
Felgar: Well than, I prey for your sake that you don't run into the nice people we ran into when we were on the way here.  I might be able to take two percent off that price but that is cutting into what little operating budget I have.
Host Felgar says:
CO: Two percent, I wouldn't be able to pay half of what he is asking...
CO_Durron says:
Felgar: If I charged you half of what he was asking I'd only be able to protect you half the way.  ::shrugs helplessly:: Felgar: If I cut down to emergency rations I think we can cut off the top five percent maybe.
Host Felgar says:
CO: I'll tell you what, I've been hit the last two times that I've traveled through the pass... I could go with 75%, but after that I'd be losing my ham....
CO_Durron says:
Felgar:: Your cargo is worth about ten times the price we are asking to protect you, If I go below 92%...well who knows what could happen.
Host Felgar says:
CO: You drive a hard bargain Captain, I'll need to consult with my partner and get back to you...
CO_Durron says:
Felgar: Very well I will see you later.  ::turns to the CEO::
CO_Durron says:
::watches Felgar leave the bridge out of the corner of his eye than pulls a hollow Pip out of his pocket and clips it onto the CEO’s collar:: CEO: By the power vested in me by Starfleet and the United Federation of Planets.
CO_Durron says:
CEO: For your continued devotion to your duty and your ship I hereby promote Alan Vernius to the rank of Lieutenant Commander, with all the duties and responsibilities of said rank.
CEO_Vernius says:
::chokes on his breath::
CNS_Chitwa says:
::blinks and then claps:: CEO: Way to go!
CO_Durron says:
CEO: Further due to unforeseen circumstances you are as of this moment the Second Officer of the USS Europa.
CEO_Vernius says:
CO: uhhh Thank you sir!
CO_Durron says:
CEO: You have been saddled with great responsibility because I personally believe you will handle it well and flourish under said responsibility.  Good luck, and fair weather Lieutenant Commander.
CEO_Vernius says:
CO: Thank you, sir! I'll do my best
CO_Durron says:
::stops the stream of words:: CEO: Congratulations.
Host Felgar says:
