Host CO_Wilkens says:
::walks across his ready room and stands beside the entrance to his ready room. Thumbs through the pages in a book he's reading and then places it on his desk::

FCO_Dain says:
::at her station::

CTO_Wakefield says:

XO_Lefler says:
::On bridge sitting in Captain's Chair::

CSO_MacLeod says:
::on bridge at SCI 1::

CNS_Cook says:
::heading towards the bridge::

Host CO_Wilkens says:
::Pauses, glancing at the half-empty glass of tea laying near the edge of his desk. Eyes it distastefully and then shoves it aside, exiting his ready room::

CSO_MacLeod says:
::preparing the last reading to check Owlston One status::

XO_Lefler says:
FCO: ETA to Starbase 78?

CSO_MacLeod says:
::initiates scans::

XO_Lefler says:
::Stands up::

FCO_Dain says:
:;sits at her station:: XO: Sir.. weeks yet.. do you want it in minutes? ::sarcastic tone::

XO_Lefler says:
FCO: That won't be necessary.

XO_Lefler says:
CO: Good afternoon Captain.

CSO_MacLeod says:
XO: Sir, initiating the scanning from Owlston One, checking its status.

FCO_Dain says:
::multiples 17 days by 60 minutes:: XO: 17 days sir.

CNS_Cook says:
::enters the bridge and nods at the bridge crew and then takes his seat::

CSO_MacLeod says:
::notices Captain Wilkens arriving on the bridge, out of his ready room::
Host CO_Wilkens says:
::Nods to Lieutenant Commander Lefler:: XO: Good afternoon, Commander. ::Starts to inquire about their ETA, but receives the tail end of Dain's report and closes his mouth::

CSO_MacLeod says:
::looking again to his console, he notices an unusual reading::

CSO_MacLeod says:
CO/XO: Long range sensors detected many objects leaving the nebula.

CSO_MacLeod says:
CO/XO: Distance: 6 light years ahead.

Host CO_Wilkens says:
::Stands awkwardly in front of the command conn for a minute:: XO: I'll take the bridge.

XO_Lefler says:
CO: Aye Sir, Steps aside.

CTO_Wakefield says:
::reads his sensors::  CO:  Long range sensors picking up a number of objects leaving the nebula.  Range about six light years ahead.  At this range with all the interference from the nebula I can't get a more precise reading.

Host CO_Wilkens says:
CSO: Extrapolate their course and heading.

CSO_MacLeod says:
CO: Working on it. ::tries to extrapolate their courses::

FCO_Dain says:
::slaves OPS to Helm, and mumbles:: You would think a ship this big could get an operations officer just once on my shift.

CNS_Cook says:
::reads some info on a PADD and looks around the Bridge to make sure none is going to sit on him and then starts to read again::

XO_Lefler says:
FCO: Can you identify what type of ship they might be?

FCO_Dain says:
XO: Trying sir.

Host CO_Wilkens says:
::Nods thankfully to the XO and eases himself into the captain's chair. Allows his eyes to wander across the bridge, resting on the science station as he waits for the CSO's response::

FCO_Dain says:
;:looks back at Science and tactical wondering if they would like to inform the XO.. she is a little busy at the moment::

CSO_MacLeod says:
CO: Sir, there are asteroids, dense dust, very large chunks of rock.  They are all streaming the nebula.
Host CO_Wilkens says:
CSO: ::Shrugs candidly, resting his hands on the chair's armrests:: Anything worth taking a closer look at?

CSO_MacLeod says:
CO: Sir!  There is a massive stream almost a light year wide.

CSO_MacLeod says:
::tries to identify the heading and course of the objects::

CNS_Cook says:
FCO: Would you like me to take the OPS station so you don’t have to do both?

Host CO_Wilkens says:
::Glances at Counselor Cook in relief, tempted to answer for her::

FCO_Dain says:
::gets ready to maneuver the ship if ordered::

CNS_Cook says:
::since getting no answer and decides to take OPS::

FCO_Dain says:
CNS: Check with the CO but fine by me..

Host CO_Wilkens says:
::Nods quickly to the CNS:: CNS: Yes, permission granted.

CNS_Cook says:
::already setting at OPS:: CO: Sir??

CTO_Wakefield says:
CO:  I don't see any reason why we shouldn't take a closer look.  Besides, our sensors aren't helping much at this range anyway.

FCO_Dain says:
::has a headache the size of Guam.. dares the Breen to attack tonight.. ::

CNS_Cook says:
::unslaves the OPS station from the FCO:;

FCO_Dain says:
:;taps her release codes in for CNS:: CNS: Thank you.

XO_Lefler says:
::Walks over to the Conn and leans over Dain glancing over her panel::

Host CO_Wilkens says:
CTO: Very well, Mr. Wakefield. Do any of these objects pose any outstanding threat to us or the ship?

FCO_Dain says:
:;looks back as the Captain asks the CTO::

CTO_Wakefield says:
CO:  At this range, our sensors are telling me no.

CSO_MacLeod says:
CO: Perhaps we could take a closer look.  The objects are heading to deep space.

Host Tim says:
ACTION: THE STREAM OF DEBRIS IS MASSIVE ON SCREEN.

FCO_Dain says:
::and spots the XO leaning over her shoulder:: XO: Sir?

XO_Lefler says:
FCO: I'm sorry Lieutenant. Did not mean to bother you, I was just checking the telemetry of the asteroids.

FCO_Dain says:
::sniffs as the XO left some lingering of cologne::

FCO_Dain says:
::sets the scanners to detect the debris for maneuvering:: XO: It is alright sir.. just jumpy tonight.

Host CO_Wilkens says:
FCO: Lay in a course for the field of... ::Gropes for a word:: Debris. One quarter impulse, but be prepared to take evasive action.

FCO_Dain says:
CO: Aye sir. ::Lays in a course:: CO: Course laid in sir.

CSO_MacLeod says:
::initiates a deeper scan on the streaming::

CSO_MacLeod says:
CO: I'll make several readings sir, as soon we get closer.

CTO_Wakefield says:
CSO:  Strange to see a debris traveling like that in the depths of space.  Are you picking up any gravimetric distortions are other spatial phenomena?

Host CO_Wilkens says:
CSO: Can we determine where they’re going? ::Pauses for a moment, and then says thoughtfully...:: Where exactly would that much debris come from?

CTO_Wakefield says:
CO:  Wait a minute; I've got a ship within the debris field.

Host CO_Wilkens says:
CSO: ...Natural phenomena... ::Stops abruptly in mid-sentence:: CTO: Identify.

CSO_MacLeod says:
CO: Not from here sir.  Perhaps we can send a probe to investigate.

CTO_Wakefield says:
::runs intensive scan of the vessel, trying to identify it.::

CTO_Wakefield says:
CO:  Working on it sir.

CNS_Cook says:
::taps some button and makes sure the shields will have enough power in case we hit one of those rocks::

CTO_Wakefield says:
CO:  Ferengi.  It’s Ferengi Captain.

Host CO_Wilkens says:
::Strides across the bridge from his chair:: CTO: Call me overly cautious, but upgrade ships status to red alert.

CTO_Wakefield says:
CO:  Aye sir.  Red alert, shields up.  ::puts ship in red alert status, raises shields, readies weapons::

CSO_MacLeod says:
CO: It seems they are all from the same source. ::taps his console::

XO_Lefler says:
::Walks back and sits at his station::

Host CO_Wilkens says:
CSO: Do our last computer records indicate the presence of any authorized Ferengi ships this far into the system?

CSO_MacLeod says:
CO: No, sir.  No authorized Ferengi ships here.

XO_Lefler says:
::Looks over his panel as Red alert readiness is acknowledges from the various ship's departments::

XO_Lefler says:
CO: All stations report ready sir.

Pez says:
@::trying to get a distress call out from his battered ship::

CSO_MacLeod says:
CO: Sir, it seems to be as though all one planet or moon.

FCO_Dain says:
::bears down intently on her readings::

Host CO_Wilkens says:
CTO: ::Thoughtfully:: if there's one, there may be more.

CTO_Wakefield says:
CO:  My thinking exactly.

CTO_Wakefield says:
CO:  I'm picking up a distress call from the vessel.

CNS_Cook says:
::picks up distress call:: CO: Sir, I am getting a message from them.

XO_Lefler says:
CNS: Any signs that the ship might be damaged?

CNS_Cook says:
XO: Yes, sir I am getting a distress single form them. ::puts it on the screen::

Host CO_Wilkens says:
CSO: ::His eyes narrow to mere slits:: Could this be the result of some sort of natural phenomena? Ancient debris?

CSO_MacLeod says:
CO: It's very unusual, sir.  They are all flying together, around the space?  I suggest we take a closer look.

Pez says:
@::wondering if anyone might hear the generalized call, at the same time wondering if any of his course changes in order to avoid the larger chunks of debris are working or it's just luck::

FCO_Dain says:
::prepares to take the ship into the distress call::

Host CO_Wilkens says:
CNS: Put it on screen, Lieutenant. ::Sits back down again and clears his throat, peering at the view screen::

CNS_Cook says:
::puts it on the screen::

CTO_Wakefield says:
XO/CO:  Looks like that ship has taken quite a beating.  She is in trouble...

Host CO_Wilkens says:
COM: Ferengi Ship: This is the U.S.S. Gryphon, Captain Wilkens in command. Please respond. We have detected your emergency signal...

FCO_Dain says:
::listens to the Captain::

CSO_MacLeod says:
::tries to check the ships status.  Weapons and shields conditions::

Pez says:
@::ears 'perk up' as he hears an answer to his distress call... and the USS Gryphon at that!::

Host CO_Wilkens says:
CSO: If anyone can tell us what happened, I have a feeling it's the captain of the Ferengi vessel. FCO: Maneuver us as closely to the debris field as you can.

FCO_Dain says:
CO: Aye sir.. ::edges the ship in closer::

CNS_Cook says:
::sits back and watches::

FCO_Dain says:
::slides the ship around a mess of debris:: XO: 250000km away from edge of stream.

Host CO_Wilkens says:
::Watches the impressive image of the debris field enlarge as they close the distance between them and the Ferengi vessel...::

CTO_Wakefield says:
CO:  I think we can attach a tractor beam and tow him out of the debris field safely, assuming our pilot is up to it.  ::smiles and nods to FCO::

Host Tim says:
ACTION: A SMALL ROCK BOUNCES OFF SHIELD

FCO_Dain says:
::Listens to CTO as rock bounces off the shields::

CNS_Cook says:
::adjusts the ship and increases power to the ship to account for bouncing rocks::

Pez says:
@COM: Gryphon: This is the <static>... Daimon Pez in comm<static>... caught in the middle of the de<static>... ...quest assistance.

CNS_Cook says:
::hears the name Pez and comes to attention::

XO_Lefler says:
*CMO* Bridge to Sickbay, prepare to receive possible casualties.

CNS_Cook says:
::monitors the ships systems and the debris field::

Host CO_Wilkens says:
::Considers his plan for the briefest of moments before nodding affirmatively:: CTO: It's in your hands, now.

CTO_Wakefield says:
CO:  Aye Captain.  Lieutenant, if you put us in position please?

CTO_Wakefield says:
::readies tractor beam::

CSO_MacLeod says:
CO: Who knows?  Perhaps the Vessel crashed an asteroid or something.

Host CO_Wilkens says:
CSO: I don't think a vessel impacting an asteroid would do little other than knock a few pieces of space rock loose... this has to be something bigger.

Pez says:
@::wondering what happened to that hot oo-man, Captain Spencer::

Host CO_Wilkens says:
::Tersely waits for the tractor beam to lock on:: CNS: Is there something the matter, Counselor? ::Watches his shoulders visibly tighten::

FCO_Dain says:
::over her shoulder:: CTO: Let me know when..

CTO_Wakefield says:
FCO:  Get ready to get us out of here.  CNS:  If I could have a little extra power to the tractor beam.  ALL:  Here we go.  ::activates tractor beam::

CNS_Cook says:
::increases power to the tractor beam::

FCO_Dain says:
::gets ready to move the ship in:: CO: Aye sir !

CSO_MacLeod says:
::makes a sweep on the Ferengi vessel::

Pez says:
@::wonders if the Gryphon and her new captain will do anything for him and his poor ship... the profits are not with him lately::

FCO_Dain says:
::adjusts engines to coincide with the tractor beam::

CTO_Wakefield says:
ALL:  Got him!  FCO:  Go!

FCO_Dain says:
CTO: Aye! ::redirects the ship.. taking it up and away from the debris::

CNS_Cook says:
CO: Sir, we have encountered Pez before, we even brought him about and held him in our brig.

Host CO_Wilkens says:
CO: Held him in the brig? ::Shakes his head:: The story can wait until he's been tractored out of there... until then, focus on the task at hand.

Pez says:
@::the ship rattles a bit as the tractor beam takes hold of it, and wishes somebody in the Gryphon would have told him what they were going to do so he could be prepared... but oh well, these Federation people are always so inconsiderate::

XO_Lefler says:
CNS: Oh good, I was starting to get worried I might actually have a straight forward encounter with a Ferengi. Nice to know that hell hasn't frozen over yet.

CNS_Cook says:
XO: Not yet, sir.

CTO_Wakefield says:
::adjusts tractor beam to keep it steady while leaving debris field::

Host Tim says:
ACTION: THE TRACTOR BEAM GRABS THE FERENGI SHIP, ALMOST TEARING IT APART

Host CO_Wilkens says:
CNS: Once the Ferengi ship has cleared the debris field, open a communications channel. CTO: What's the status of his ship?

CNS_Cook says:
CO: Sir, we are putting a lot of stress on his ship.

CSO_MacLeod says:
CO/CTO: The Ferengi ship is almost tearing apart.
Host CO_Wilkens says:
CNS: Can we use the transporters to remove him from his ship?

Pez says:
@COM: Gryphon: <static> ...you people trying to k<static>....

CNS_Cook says:
CO: Am working on that now.

FCO_Dain says:
::eases back on the thrusters::

CTO_Wakefield says:
CO:  She's get a little shook up; I'm altering the tractor beam to compensate.  FCO:  Oh thanks, you've read my mind.

XO_Lefler says:
CTO: Extend out shields around the Ferengi Ship. But bring up transport inhibitors as well. I don't want to get caught off guard with a Ferengi in our belly.

Host CO_Wilkens says:
::Self: next time maybe we'll just throw him back...::

CNS_Cook says:
::tries to get a transporter lock::

CSO_MacLeod says:
CO: Sir, I'll try to identify any cargo on this ship. ::tries to identify the  cargo::

XO_Lefler says:
CTO: Drop the inhibitor once we have lock.

FCO_Dain says:
CO: It is pulling fast.. ::eases more::

Host Tim says:
ACTION: PEZ BEAMS OUT

Pez says:
@::dematerializes::

FCO_Dain says:
CO: A transport is taking place from the Ferengi Vessel

CTO_Wakefield says:
Security:  Security to transporter room three.

CSO_MacLeod says:
CTO: If you need, we can amplify the inertial field around the vessel.

Pez says:
::materializes yet once again in the Gryphon's TR... steps down the pad and looks around::

Host CO_Wilkens says:
CTO: I want him escorted to the bridge immediately.

Pez says:
::wonders when the cavalry will arrive, he's usually not received with open arms in this ship::
CTO_Wakefield says:
CO:  Aye sir.  Sec Team Five:  Escort our guest to the bridge.

Host Tim says:
ACTION: FERENGI SHIP IS PULLED FROM DEBRIS STREAM, ROCKS BOUNCING OFF IT

Pez says:
TR Chief: Well... I see they got somebody good looking around here for a change. ::grins showing rows of teeth::

CSO_MacLeod says:
::still trying to identify any cargo on Ferengi ship::

Host CO_Wilkens says:
CNS: Tell me more about the Gryphon's last encounter with Mr.... Pez, was it?

CNS_Cook says:
CO: Sir, it was not pleasant, Captain Spencer held him in the brig and questioned him.  He also had some cargo with him that we were unsure about.

CNS_Cook says:
CO: Sir the ship is out of the stream.

FCO_Dain says:
::gets a message from the TR Chief:: CO: Party is aboard.

Pez says:
<TR Chief Blythe> ::eyes the Ferengi, but doesn't say a word::

CTO_Wakefield says:
<Sec Officer>  ::arrives in transporter room::  PEZ:  Come with me to the bridge.

FCO_Dain says:
::glides the ship away from the debris::

Host CO_Wilkens says:
FCO: Back us off from the debris field, just a bit... I don't want to be too close until we know the full extent of the incident that got him pulled in there.

FCO_Dain says:
CO: Aye sir.. ::makes a heading further away from the debris field and punches the ship to it::

Pez says:
Sec Officer: Oh sure... just don't touch me and by the way, I know how to get there on my own.

Pez says:
::leads the way to the TL::

Host CO_Wilkens says:
CSO: Launch a class IV probe. We might as well learn as much as we can about the debris field.

CSO_MacLeod says:
CO: Aye!  ::prepares the probe::

CSO_MacLeod says:
::now they are free, he initiates a sweep into the nebula and outside either::

Pez says:
::enters TL with sec:: TL: Bridge

CTO_Wakefield says:
<Sec Officer>  ::impatient with Ferengi weasles::  PEZ:  Never-the-less, My friend and I will escort you.

Pez says:
Sec: By the way, what happened to that annoying Klingon...? Got rid of him finally?

CSO_MacLeod says:
::launches the probe::

Host CO_Wilkens says:
::Swivels around in his chair to watch the aft-starboard turbolifts, anticipating the arrival of Pez::

CSO_MacLeod says:
CO:  Class IV probe on its way.  We'll be able to receive information........... now.

FCO_Dain says:
::takes a breath in… Her first real maneuvering… Not to bad::

CTO_Wakefield says:
<Sec Officer>  PEZ:  You can ask the Captain when you see him.

Pez says:
Sec: Oh I will... so many changes around here lately! ::exits the TL on his own, sec in tow, and looks around... sees some new faces, and some known faces::

Host CO_Wilkens says:
FCO: Extremely well done, Lieu... ::Pauses, looking back at Pez::

FCO_Dain says:
::glances back at the Ferengi::

CNS_Cook says:
::sees Pez come on the bridge like he is an admiral or something, then looks away::

FCO_Dain says:
::smiles at the Counselor as he looks away::

CSO_MacLeod says:
::reads some information sent by the probe::

Pez says:
CO: You must be the new Captain... ::sees a shiny sash and afraid it might be the Klingon, he notices it's just another human::

FCO_Dain says:
CNS: Psttttt so you know him.. ?

Host CO_Wilkens says:
::Approaches the Ferengi... looking down at him, literally:: Pez: My name is Captain Wilkens. You are Mr. Pez, is it?
Pez says:
::diverts his eyes from the CTO and returns to look at Wilkens::

Pez says:
CO: That is me, yes, and thank you for taking me out of the ship, although I wonder if it could be towed to safety?

CNS_Cook says:
FCO: ::whispers:: Yeah, we had a little mishap with him.

CTO_Wakefield says:
::notices Ferengi enter the bridge, nods to security team to stand by::

Host CO_Wilkens says:
Pez: Your ship suffered extensive damage. Forgive me for bypassing the pleasantries, but what exactly happened? ::Motions at the debris field on the VS::

Pez says:
::notices a bald head... ohhhh a Deltan how interesting!::

FCO_Dain says:
::whispers:: CNS: Well he looks like evil in a small form...

CNS_Cook says:
FCO: Yea...........::sees the captain::

XO_Lefler says:
::Walks up between the CNS and FCO:: FCO/CNS: ::clears throat:: ahem. Eyes them both and walks away.

Host CO_Wilkens says:
Pez: Yes, your ship will be towed to safety as soon as we conduct our analysis of the debris field.

Pez says:
CO: I suppose that is acceptable, don't want you to go out of your way for me... I was just looking for places where to trade; you sure know I am a trader, don't you?

CSO_MacLeod says:
::looks to Pez.  He knows him, just because the name::

FCO_Dain says:
::rubs the back of her neck as she checks their status::

CTO_Wakefield says:
::calls up all available data on this Ferengi::

Host CO_Wilkens says:
::Stares at the Ferengi, drawing the attention of his wandering eyes:: Pez: I had a good enough idea, Mr. Pez. Now... tell me about the debris field?

FCO_Dain says:
::grimaces at the CNS::  Shhhhh you will get me in trouble.. ::stifles a laugh::

CNS_Cook says:
FCO: ::Smiles at her.::

Pez says:
::fidgets a bit:: CO: Anyway... I need to expand my market since the last situation... I'm sure Captain Spencer could tell you... well... you see, liquid onion and garlic wasn't as profitable as I expected...

CNS_Cook says:
CO: Sir I am picking up a SF comm buoy.

Host CO_Wilkens says:
CNS: Lets hear what it has to say.

CNS_Cook says:
CO: I am not getting any info from it, just that it is there.

CSO_MacLeod says:
::reads an important information sent by the probe::

CSO_MacLeod says:
CO: Sir!  The probe is sending some readings I think you'd like to see...

Host CO_Wilkens says:
::Stifles a broad grin:: Pez: I see, well... ::Again cuts off the remainder of his statement, and motions for the Ferengi to remain where he is::

Pez says:
CO: Oh the debris field! Yes, really unsettling, I don't know how I got caught on it, but it was certainly harmful for my ship... hadn't you arrived when you did I don't know what might have happened!

FCO_Dain says:
:;looks over at the CNS and checks her readings:: XO: Sir…  ::looks back:: There are stray rocks drifting our way.

XO_Lefler says:
FCO: Increase power to the deflector, advise Engineering of the added power requirements. Advise me if the impacts get to be too much for the deflectors to handle again.

FCO_Dain says:
XO: Aye sir.

Host CO_Wilkens says:
::Wonders if Pez is telling the entire truth:: Pez: Well, if it's all the same to you, I'd like to download your computer's sensors telemetry, for my chief to examine it.

Pez says:
CO: Most of my systems were down, I don't know if you're going to get much from the ship, at all.

CSO_MacLeod says:
CO: The source is 25 light years inside the nebula.  I'll try to take a clear reading of that.

Host CO_Wilkens says:
CSO: Good. ::Lowers his voice to a barely audible whisper:: Lets try and keep as much as we can from the Ferengi, huh?

CSO_MacLeod says:
::mutters for CO:: CO: Aye. ::smiles:: Sorry.

CTO_Wakefield says:
::wonders what those rocks are made of.  If Ferengi started this stream for business purposes::

FCO_Dain says:
::contacts the CEO and increases power to the deflector::

Host CO_Wilkens says:
Pez: Well, you might have overlooked something. Not being a science officer, and all. ::Feigns a smile:: I'd also like to look at your cargo manifest?

Pez says:
CO: And well... you might want to take the ship out of there... just because it might be useful for you and because of course it carries all I possess. Or almost.

Host CO_Wilkens says:
::Nods:: Pez: Your ship has been removed from the debris field.

Pez says:
::stiffens:: CO: I am a respectable merchant, and I have my papers in order.

FCO_Dain says:
::continues to make adjustments to the deflector dish::

Host CO_Wilkens says:
Pez: Speaking of which, I'd also like to see your papers.

CTO_Wakefield says:
CO:  I believe you should have a look at this Captain.

Host CO_Wilkens says:
CTO: What is it?

Pez says:
CO: That is fine, I would like to be taken to it so I can begin repairs and get you the papers. You won't pretend to go get them yourself.

FCO_Dain says:
::slowly maneuvers the ship around some of the bigger pieces::

CTO_Wakefield says:
::hands CO a PADD with info from sensors.  Some debris has explosive residue on it::

CTO_Wakefield says:
CO:  Here sir.

XO_Lefler says:
::Stands in front of Pez as the Captain heads towards the Tac station, impeding him from following the Captain and reading over his shoulder::

CNS_Cook says:
CO: Sir, that buoy I am not getting a message from it, but it is there.

Host CO_Wilkens says:
CNS: Tractor the buoy in for analysis.

CTO_Wakefield says:
::eyes Ferengi with suspicion::
FCO_Dain says:
CNS: Did you try all the frequency bands… sometimes they are hidden and encrypted?

Host CO_Wilkens says:
::Glances from the padd to the Ferengi:: CTO: Have your security officers escort Mr. Pez directly to his new "quarters."

CSO_MacLeod says:
XO: Sir, can you come here?

XO_Lefler says:
CSO: What is it?

Host CO_Wilkens says:
CSO: Just one moment please.

CNS_Cook says:
FCO: Yes, I think so, CO: sir, it is 20 light years away.

Pez says:
::steals a glance towards the CTO, but doesn't mind what he sees. Nobody trusts Ferengis, and everyone tries to steal their property or take advantage of them::

CTO_Wakefield says:
::nods to his security teams and clenches his left fist twice::

XO_Lefler says:
::Walks to the CSO's station::

Pez says:
CO: New quarters? I requested to go to my ship!

CNS_Cook says:
CO: Sir it is a SF Comm beacon, but too far to tractor.

CTO_Wakefield says:
CO:  Aye Captain.

CSO_MacLeod says:
::nods to CO::

Host CO_Wilkens says:
CTO: ::Lowers his voice again:: Have a security detail discreetly monitor Mr. Fez. From a distance.

Host CO_Wilkens says:
CSO: What is it?

CTO_Wakefield says:
<Sec Officer> PEZ:  Come with us sir.

Host CO_Wilkens says:
CNS: Understood, Counselor.

CSO_MacLeod says:
CO/XO: I was not able to scan his cargo.  If we really want to know, we have to go there and see for ourselves.

CTO_Wakefield says:
CO: Aye Captain.

Pez says:
CSO: It's private property, since when do you have the right to mess with other's private property?

Host CO_Wilkens says:
::Ignores the Ferengi:: CSO: Then that's what we'll do.

CTO_Wakefield says:
<Sec Officer> PEZ:  We'll be escorting you to guest quarters.  ::motions for Ferengi to get into turbolift::

FCO_Dain says:
::raises her eyebrow at the Ferengi’s remark.. The Ferengi who they just saved::

CNS_Cook says:
CO: Sir, I am picking up some navigational info and general messages addressed to other ships on it.

CSO_MacLeod says:
CO/XO:  He must have shielded cargo bay.

Host CO_Wilkens says:
CNS: Download it and put it on screen.

CTO_Wakefield says:
::taps several keys on the security console::

FCO_Dain says:
::looks up at the screen::

Host CO_Wilkens says:
CSO: Now that's the least surprising thing I've heard all day!

CNS_Cook says:
::tries to access the comm buoy::

Pez says:
Sec: I heard you, but I still requested to be taken to my ship in order to provide your Captain with the papers he requested. Is there anyone listening to me? Where are the private citizen's rights in here?

CSO_MacLeod says:
CO: I'm ready to do it, sir.  ::smiles::

CTO_Wakefield says:
<Sec Officer> PEZ:  You'll be coming with me to you new quarters...NOW.  ::very obvious::

Host CO_Wilkens says:
Pez: Go with the security team, please, or you'll be hearing exactly what your "rights" are, Mr. Pez.

Host CO_Wilkens says:
::Smiles again::

Host CO_Wilkens says:
CSO: Lets see what we have.

CSO_MacLeod says:
::laughs with CO's last comment::

Pez says:

CSO_MacLeod says:
CO: Do you want me to prepare a boarding team?

Host CO_Wilkens says:

CTO_Wakefield says:
<Sec Officer>:  ::Escorts Ferengi to guest quarters on deck 4::

Host CO_Wilkens says:
CTO: And no replicator access.

XO_Lefler says:
::nods at Wakefield and heads for the Turbo Lift::

CNS_Cook says:

XO_Lefler says:
CEO: Chief, Meet us in Transport room 1, bring a field kit.

CTO_Wakefield says:
CO:  Aye Captain.  He'll be monitored 24-7.

Host CO_Wilkens says:

XO_Lefler says:
::Pulls Phaser out and checks setting along with Wakefield::

Host CO_Wilkens says:

XO_Lefler says:
CTO: This should be interesting. ::Wide grin::

CTO_Wakefield says:
XO:  I agree.

FCO_Dain says:
::thinks she could have gone.. and flown the Ferengis ship away from the field::

Host CO_Wilkens says:
::Waits in anticipation:: Self: God only knows what this will be about.

Pez says:
::paces in the room, knowing there are at least two officers outside his room::

Pez says:
::wonders how to get out of there... there must be a way to negotiate an agreement profitable for both him and the Captain::

CTO_Wakefield says:
XO:   Aye.  ::Grabs tricorders and wrist beacons to strap on::

FCO_Dain says:
::contacts ME and asks for more power to the deflector::

XO_Lefler says:
CEO/CTO: We will be beaming in behind the outside of the cargo hold. We'll scan the interior to make sure it is safe and take it from there. All clear?

CTO_Wakefield says:
XO:  Aye.

CSO_MacLeod says:
::now he takes some readings outside of the nebula, to check for any vessels on proximities::

CTO_Wakefield says:
<Sec Officer>  PEZ.  Hold on.  ::taps commbadge::  *CO*  Captain, our 'guest' wishes to speak with you.

Host CO_Wilkens says:
*Sec Officer* I'm en route, stand by for my arrival.

@*CO* Aye aye.

XO_Lefler says:
