Vank says:
@ ::Smiles a rotted tooth grin and turns back to OPS with the larger energy blade::

CTO_Ens_Thalataar says:
@::Is waiting for what is going to happen next down at Dakac's office.  He still watches the Ambassador.::

OPS_Lt_B_Rochelle says:
@::sees the larger energy blade:: Vank: What are you planning to do with that now? Chop me up?

Ambassador Rose says:
@ ::Smiling at the CTO despite his "hair comment"::

IO_Cmdr_Enki says:
:: Getting the last of her equipment - she's got a rifle strapped to her back, her biodampening combadge, and her wrist tricorder ::

Vank says:
@ OPS: Let's just say that you won't be saying anything too cowardly any time soon

Host CO_Capt_Marsland says:
@ ::stepping back after Dakac leaves::

CEO_Lt_Hull says:
:Staring intently at the Master Display in Main Engineering::

Dakac says:
@ ::Walks up to the CO, and grasps her hands in his:: CO: Thank you Captain Marsland, for all your assistance in this matter. I feel it would have NEVER been resolved otherwise.

OPS_Lt_B_Rochelle says:
@Vank: Oh now you are going to threaten me again?

CTO_Ens_Thalataar says:
@Dakac:  It hasn't been resolved yet.  Everyone has to agree to the proposition.

Vank says:
@ ::Looks at her bloodied face and smoldering kneecap:: OPS: I feel that I've done a bit more than threaten so far.

Host CO_Capt_Marsland says:
@Dakac: You are most welcome.  Though I'm not the one you should thank. ::looks over at her CTO:: He is.

OPS_Lt_B_Rochelle says:
@Vank: Yes you certainly did that alright.

CEO_Lt_Hull says:
*Ens Greer*:  Ens. Greer, report your status on Cargo 1 transporter...it is still showing off-line

IO_Cmdr_Enki says:
:: Her team assembles in the transporter room - her, Lieutenant Jan, another assault officer, and the medic White ::  Transporter Chief: Ensign... take a break, I'll take it from here.  :: Smiles ::

EO Greer says:
*CEO*:  We are working on it, I expect it to be clear for operation in about 15 minutes

OPS_Lt_B_Rochelle says:
@::tries desperately to control the pain from her knee using her meditation technique taught to her::

CTO_Ens_Thalataar says:
@Dakac, CO:  I was reminded by something that occurred between four very different species prior to the formation of the Federation.

Dakac says:
@ ::Nods in agreement:: CTO: Cardassia owes a debt of thanks to you.

Host CO_Capt_Marsland says:
@CTO: What was that?

Commander_Lenai says:
# ::aboard her command ship, the Warbird Blackspear, in the secure comm room making her report to the Senate::

IO_Cmdr_Enki says:
:: with the ensign out of the way, she programs in their beam down coordinates - putting them as close as she can while still having cover ::

CTO_Ens_Thalataar says:
@::Nods and bows slightly.::  CO:  I remember a reading at the Academy on how the Enterprise banded together the Vulcans, Andorians and my people in an effort to establish a peace in the region.

General_Hanok says:
@::in his chambers, making his report to the high command::

Vank says:
@ ::Grins and slowly comes up to OPS' face with the blade. Suddenly one of the Klingons approaches and whispers something. Vank sighs and steps back, powering down the energy blade::

Vank says:
@ OPS: It seems you get a temporary reprieve.

Dakac says:
@ ::Listening to the CTO's tale, he approaches his desk where a message was just sent. He reads::

CSO_Lt_Knight says:
::At his console monitoring the sensors. Checks his sensor locks on all personnel on Cardassia::

Host CO_Capt_Marsland says:
@CTO: That's right!  They did.

ACTION: The PRISM Team beams down.

Commander_Lenai says:
# ::forwards along her recordings of the meetings as well as the sensor records pulled from the Cardassian satellites during the meetings::

OPS_Lt_B_Rochelle says:
@Vank: Pity I wasn't reading your minds.  So now what do I do to honor the reprieve?

Vank says:
@ OPS: Don't bleed out.

IO_Cmdr_Enki says:
@:: Scans the area silently, looking for life signs, and the edge of the transport inhibitor::

General_Hanok says:
@::attaches the sensor logs from his ships, indicating the Romulan ship before it cloaked, as well as the disturbance on the surface during their first meeting::

CSO_Lt_Knight says:
::Notices the sensors brining up a new set of signals, indicating Cmdr. Enki's team materializing below::

Commander_Lenai says:
# ::almost withers under the dead eyes of the new Praetor but steels herself for his response::

General_Hanok says:
@::gets the standard reply from high command, and grunts something in annoyance, cutting the comm::

Host CO_Capt_Marsland says:
@CTO: Good thinking.

Dakac says:
@ ::Looks concerned:: CO: Captain, to confirm some earlier suggestions, indeed, the operative that was believed responsible for your officer's capture is dead.

IO_Cmdr_Enki says:
@::Looks over the readings - the one side of the building is nearly unguarded.  She motions that way, and they make their way along the cover to that location, checking again from there before making the dash to the building itself ::

General_Hanok says:
@::heads out of the chambers, and into his command center:: Comm Officer: Signal our ships to tighten their formation. ::growls lowly:: The Romulans would enjoy a chance to take any opening the empire gives them.

CMO_LtCmd_Knight-Sky says:
:: Quietly goes through the next batch of tests as her staff efficiently goes does their job.::

CTO_Ens_Thalataar says:
@::Nods and listens to Dakac's report.::  Dakac:  Who killed him?

Host CO_Capt_Marsland says:
@Dakac: Believed responsible?  You're not sure, though.

CEO_Lt_Hull says:
::begins running a remote diagnostic on the Cargo 1 transporter when the Master Display reported that the system was back on-line::

Commander_Lenai says:
# ::gets the response finally and nods, closin the connection from her end after it is abruptly ended on the Senate's::

Dakac says:
@ CTO: Some say the Tal Shiar. Some say he ran into an angry group of Starfleet personnel. But his family helped our resources find a grave. And there's a confirmed body in there.

Dakac says:
@ CO: Well according to what was shared with us, he sent a transmission to your ship asking for your officer to come to the surface ...

AS Lt. Jan says:
@::Shifts his TR-170... they don't want this mission to turn deadly, but he's got a mission to do::

CTO_Ens_Thalataar says:
@::Ruffles his beard.::  Dakac:  How did the Tal'Shiar go about killing him here on Cardassia?

Dakac says:
@ CTO: It isn't confirmed that he WAS killed by the Tal Shiar. Only that he is dead. And that is one of various stories.

OPS_Lt_B_Rochelle says:
@::sitting there still bleeding and curious as to what is going on now::

General_Hanok says:
@::orders patrols to be increased, and the prisoner's cell to be locked down, restricted to his personal guards only::

CTO_Ens_Thalataar says:
@::Thinks.::  Self:  Hrmmm.

Nurse Cross says:
CMO:  Here are the most recent tests.  It appears the Protodynoplaser is working well on all three of their immune system.

Host CO_Capt_Marsland says:
@::nods:: Dakac: Okay and she did.

IO_Cmdr_Enki says:
@:: Works on the door console - locked, but not hard to crack.  These systems seem like they're about fifty years old.  The door opens with a satisfying 'click', and they slip inside into a hallway ::

Ensign Farris says:
*CSO*:  Robinson and I have gone over those transmissions from the Cardassian operative called T'Laraius They're fake. They have Romulan carrier signatures on them as well, sir.

Commander_Lenai says:
# ::exits the communication chamber and returns to the Warbird's bridge, aware of the eyes watching her and trying desperately not to be noticed watching her at the same time, and simply ignores them as she takes her seat::

Dakac says:
@ ::Frowns:: CO: And now she is in the hands of the Klingons. How goes your efforts to have her freed?

Damage Control Team 2 says:
::Enters ME, 4 of the 5 team members are carrying "sick" bio-neural gel packs in their arms:: Sir, we have replaced these gel-packs, these are all infected, same black blotches that the others in Sickbay have

Host CO_Capt_Marsland says:
@Dakac: We have our own operatives on it.

CMO_LtCmd_Knight-Sky says:
:: Nodding, reaches up to rub the slight ache between her brow::  Cross:  Excellent.  Now if we could just discover what had been destroying it in the first place.  We have something in place to 'fix' the problem, but no idea how to prevent another incident.

Dakac says:
@ ::Nods:: CO: I hope for the best. If there is anything I can do, let me know. Now, with the possibility of this all working out, I must speak with the various leaders around the world. If you could excuse me. ::Smiles and gestures for them to exit::

CEO_Lt_Hull says:
Damage Control Team 2:  Report to Sickbay with them, advise the good Doctor that this is becoming a critical issue. 

CSO_Lt_Knight says:
*Farris*: All right. Good work. I'll let someone 'round 'ere know. Knight out.

CTO_Ens_Thalataar says:
@::Waits for the others to leave to follow behind them.::

Ambassador Rose says:
@ ::Smiles at Dakac:: Dakac: Thank you Representative. I am so glad we could be of help here. Don't be a stranger. ::Smiles::

OPS_Lt_B_Rochelle says:
@::hopes that she is either released or freed by her crew and soon as the blood is still oozing from the wounds::

General_Hanok says:
@::lowers himself into his chair, and listens as the officers around the command and control center go about the business of the base's daily operation::

Host CO_Capt_Marsland says:
@::turns to leave in front of the CTO:: Dakac: You have done your world proud, Representative.  I hope we can remain allies.

Nurse Cross says:
CMO:  No connections? :: Frowns::  Perhaps it is just an invisible force.

CEO_Lt_Hull says:
::The Damage Control Team exits ME with their arms full of sick gel packs heading for Sickbay::

IO_Cmdr_Enki says:
@:: With Jan and Thomas watching her back, she sets to work at a computer console, looking for information.  Her wrist computer indicates communications traffic - and a location.  Good, good.  Looking up, she lifts two fingers, and points to the left::

CMO_LtCmd_Knight-Sky says:
:: Starts to nod and the pauses.::  Cross:  A what?

Technician Goerin says:
::Approaches the CEO:: CEO: Ve cannot make heads or tails of this. It makes no sense.

CTO_Ens_Thalataar says:
@::Waves for Kipling and Jian Ni to head out of the room.::

Dakac says:
@ ::Smiles:: CO: Indeed. I look forward to any future work with you, Captain. ::Nods to the CTO:: Good luck with your peace initiative.

Nurse Cross says:
:: Shrugs her shoulders and then turns to leave and take care of her patients.::

Dakac says:
@ CO: You have certainly set the path to peace here.

CMO_LtCmd_Knight-Sky says:
:: Watches Cross leave, frowning.::

CTO_Ens_Thalataar says:
@::Returns the nod to Dakac.::

AS Ltjg Thomas says:
@::Nods back, and looks to Jan to scan ahead visually with his weapon:: 

Host CO_Capt_Marsland says:
@Dakac: I hope so, Representative. Good day.

CSO_Lt_Knight says:
::Adds the new information to his report to the Captain.  HE opens a comm channel to the CO::

Commander_Lenai says:
# ::snaps her fingers and picks a pair of eyes from the many pairs that turn at the sound:: ROPS: You, signalman. Reopen the surface yesterday morning. ::leans forward when the holofile starts to play, watching carefully::

CMO_LtCmd_Knight-Sky says:
:: Well, what amounted to a frown for her...  Standing, she heads for her office.::

Dakac says:
@ ::Walks behind his desk, and pulls out some paperwork::

CEO_Lt_Hull says:
Goerin:  I know, I know...this is baffling, I can't find any matching scenarios in the computer, I keep thinking that someone was sick installing these, or sick when they were made and passed their infection to the gel-packs

IO_Cmdr_Enki says:
@::Is surprised at the lack of resistance - is everyone outside guarding this pit?::

Technician Goerin says:
CEO: I cannot think of any ... biological sickness that could affect techno-organic devices such as these.

CMO_LtCmd_Knight-Sky says:
:: Reaching into her desk, she pulls out a standard tricorder and heads back to the quarantine room.  Stepping inside quietly, so as not to disturb anyone, she begins to run a general scan, looking for any variance in energy signatures.::

CSO_Lt_Knight says:
COMM:*CO*:Cap'n, I hope that I'm not intrudin'.

MO_Lt_Hayes says:
::Checks the bird's status::

Host CO_Capt_Marsland says:
@::taps her combadge *CSO*: No, not at all, Lieutenant, what have you got?

CEO_Lt_Hull says:
Goerin:  They can get "sick" just like humans, the USS Voyager had almost the same issue, still waiting on Sickbay to verify

Commander_Lenai says:
# ::watches the holovid with sharp, muddy-green eyes::

CSO_Lt_Knight says:
*CO*: Cap'n, I've put a couple of men on those transmissions from the agent known as T'Laraius. They were fakes. They had a Romulan comm signature underneath the signal's carrier wave.

AS Lt. Jan says:
@::Lifts three fingers, then points two down::

CSO_Lt_Knight says:
*CO*: I figure that it would be important enough to share at the diplomatic table.

 Technician Goerin says:
CEO: But not like this! There are safeguards!

Host CO_Capt_Marsland says:
@*CSO*: Romulan!  Are you sure?  ::looks at the CTO::

IO_Cmdr_Enki says:
@::Thinks for a moment if they should go in with guns blazing, or try to reason this one out... thinking reason has already failed, she reluctantly agrees to go in with weapons drawn.  She pulls her hand phaser, and the four move::

CTO_Ens_Thalataar says:
@::Groans under his breath.::  Self:  How am I not surprised.  We have Klingon murderers and Romulan spies.

CEO_Lt_Hull says:
Goerin:  With the way the ship was pushed out from space dock...there could have been something that was missed or contaminated

OPS_Lt_B_Rochelle says:
@::still bleeding she is meditating to keep her control on the pain that she suffers from her open wounds::

Host CO_Capt_Marsland says:
@CTO: Contact the Romulan delegation.  I want answers.

CSO_Lt_Knight says:
*CO*: Aye. I'm comparin' the carrier signature of the transmissions to a sample. They're a match. I'm sure there are probably Romulans looking to sabotage the Cardassian efforts down 'ere, with their usual bits o' subterfuge.

CTO_Ens_Thalataar says:
@::Nods.::  CO:  As do I.

Ambassador Rose says:
@ ::Frowns:: CO: Is Lieutenant Knight absolutely certain the Romulans are behind this?

General_Hanok says:
@::sighs, and orders one of his aids in Klingon to get Vank up here::

Host CO_Capt_Marsland says:
@::nods:: Ambassador Rose: Sounds like it. The carrier signatures match.

CSO_Lt_Knight says:
*CO*: As sure as the Hayden's name's painted on her hull that there maybe Romulan vessels cloaked and in the vicinity.

Host CO_Capt_Marsland says:
@*CSO*: Stay alert.

Vank says:
@ ::Was on his way anyway. Arrives:: General: General?

CSO_Lt_Knight says:
*CO*: Aye. Knight out.

General_Hanok says:
@Vank: What has the prisoner told you? ::is in no mood for wasting time::

MO_Lt_Hayes says:
::Looks around for the CMO::

Vank says:
@ ::Shakes his head:: General: Nothing of importance. Spouted some ridiculousness about being a member of a House in the Empire yet would not tell us which one, that Martok himself would come to free her. I believe the torture has made her delusional.

IO_Cmdr_Enki says:
@::Picks their way through the hallways, making their way to their destination.  They stop at the final turn, and Marla lets Jan around first::

CMO_LtCmd_Knight-Sky says:
*CSO* Lt. I have you been reading any chronotrons in the area?

AS Lt. Jan says:
@ ::Drops to one knee, low, and peeks around the corner with one eye.  Getting a bead on the one guard outside, he creeps his hand phaser around the corner and squeezes off a shot ::

General_Hanok says:
@::curses a streak that would make most men's faces turn a bright red:: Vank: Move her to the Kra'Tak. They will... convince her to change her mind.

MO_Lt_Hayes says:
::Notices the CMO is in the quarantine area and enters::

CTO_Ens_Thalataar says:
@::Taps combadge.::  *Hayden*:  Thalataar to Hayden, one to beam up.

CSO_Lt_Knight says:
*CMO*: No strong chronotron readin's  on me sensors. I think that if the Romulans were 'round, they'd keep their distance from us.

Damage Control Team 2 says:
::Enter Sickbay with the 20 or so bio-neural gel packs and place them on one of the examination tables:: 

CMO_LtCmd_Knight-Sky says:
*CSO*: I was scanning the general area of my patients.  For a moment... just a moment, I picked up a reading before it vanished.

ACTION: The CTO is beamed up to the Hayden.

CTO_Ens_Thalataar says:
::Steps off the transporter pad and heads for the nearest turbolift.  Once he's inside, he instructs it to go up to the Bridge.::

Host CO_Capt_Marsland says:
@Ambassador Rose: This could put a whole new spin on the negotiations, to put it mildly.

Damage Control Team 2 says:
MO:  Lt. Hayes, the CEO instructed us to bring these for analysis, they have the same black blotches that the first ones did...we think the infection is spreading

Ambassador Rose says:
@ ::Lost in thought, and has that thousand yard stare:: CO: No kidding.

MO_Lt_Hayes says:
CMO: Doctor, WildFire is stable. I'll make sure someone checks on him from time to time. ::Hears the DCT2 talk to her::

Host CO_Capt_Marsland says:
@Ambassador Rose: We need to call the delegation back together because of this.

MO_Lt_Hayes says:
::Quickly exits the quarantine zone:: DCT2: Thank you. We will check on them.

CMO_LtCmd_Knight-Sky says:
MO: Very good...

ACTION: The Klingon guard outside of Brianna's room never knew what hit him. He goes down quietly.

Commander_Lenai says:
# ::orders the signalman to remove the video and return it to an image of the space outside the ship, content to ruminate on her thoughts before making a report to the Senate again::

CSO_Lt_Knight says:
*CMO*: Why would ya patients have any high chronotron readin's near them?

General_Hanok says:
@::glares at Vank:: Vank: So why are you standing there? I said have her moved!

Vank says:
@ ::Sighs at the idea of losing the chance to finish her off, and heads off to do so::

CTO_Ens_Thalataar says:
::Arrives at the Bridge and steps out to take Sellenar's place at the Tactical Station.  He attempts to hail the Romulans.::

General_Hanok says:
@::mutters something about having that useless blood whine consuming targ beheaded when he's done with this miserable planet::

OPS_Lt_B_Rochelle says:
@::into her deep meditation she barely senses the presence of individuals out side the door of her cell::

CMO_LtCmd_Knight-Sky says:
*CSO*: Good question... but then I still do not know what dropped my patients’ immune systems.  Nurse Cross said something odd... which had me checking for any forms of unusual energy or amounts.

OPS_Lt_B_Rochelle says:
@::opens her eyes and looks around her cell::

IO_Cmdr_Enki says:
@::Good, good.  They move to the door to the cell, and Marla tries to get through this one ::

Ambassador Rose says:
@ CO: Yes, you're right. But ... we need to get some more information first before we start throwing accusations. Maybe we should return to the ship.

Romulan OPS says:
# Lenai: Commander, multi-frequency hail from the Starfleet ship.

CTO_Ens_Thalataar says:
::Raises his eyebrow.::  Self:  Common Romulans.  I know you're out there.

Host CO_Capt_Marsland says:
@Ambassador Rose: Good idea, Ambassador.

MO_Lt_Hayes says:
::Nods at DCT2 guy and goes back to the quarantine area::

Host CO_Capt_Marsland says:
@*Hayden*: Hayden, this is Captain Marsland, two to beam up!

CSO_Lt_Knight says:
*CMO*: Hmmm... Sounds odd. If any of the science staff can be of service let me know. CTO:I don't think they're gonna answer ya, mate. If they are playin' "cloak 'n' dagger" games, the smare tactic would be to maintain silence an' stay hidden..

ACTION: Ambassador Rose and Captain Marsland are beamed up.

MO_Lt_Hayes says:
CMO: We were just given about 20 bio-neural gel packs that have black botches and are believed to be infected. Want me to run the analysis on them?

Commander_Lenai says:
# ::gestures for the signalman to put the com through:: COM Hayden: Darkspear actual. This had best not be about another infernal meeting.

CTO_Ens_Thalataar says:
CSO:  Here they are now.  COM: Lenai:  This is Ensign Thalataar of the Hayden.  I have a few... questions to ask you, Commander

ACTION: The PRISM team expertly moves into the room and takes out the two guards.

CMO_LtCmd_Knight-Sky says:
MO: Yes... and while you are at it, check for chronoton particles.

MO_Lt_Hayes says:
CMO: Aye. ::Exits the quarantine zone and heads for the gel packs::

Host CO_Capt_Marsland says:
::steps off the transporter pad and goes to the turbolift, ordering it to the bridge::

Ambassador Rose says:
::Comes along:: CO: Captain ...

Commander_Lenai says:
# ::lifts a brow:: COM Hayden: Ensign... ::draws the term out, nothing but contempt in her voice:: What could you possibly have to question me about?

Host CO_Capt_Marsland says:
Ambassador Rose: Yes, Ambassador.

Ambassador Rose says:
::Concerned look:: CO: Janet ... do you get the feeling we're missing something?

CM Lt. White says:
@::Moves over to the OPS officer to scan her::

MO_Lt_Hayes says:
::Moves around the gel packs on the examination table and gets a tricorder to do a basic analysis::

OPS_Lt_B_Rochelle says:
@::is near unconsciousness::

CTO_Ens_Thalataar says:
::Motions for Lieutenant Knight to come over to his station.::  COM: Lenai:  After some research done by our Chief Science Officer, we have reason to believe that someone of your species transmitted a message to this ship disguised as the voice of a Cardassian by the name of T'Laraius.

Host CO_Capt_Marsland says:
Ambassador Rose: We could be, but that's what I'm here to find out. ::steps out of the TL and onto the bridge::

CSO_Lt_Knight says:
::Heads over to the tactical station:: CTO: What's the matter, Thalataar?

Commander_Lenai says:
# ::sneers:: COM Hayden: As Federation lies go, Ensign Thalataar, that one is particularly pathetic. Does your Captain know you're using the comm system without her permission?

CM Lt. White says:
@ ::Whispers::  IO: I can fix her up a little, but we need to get her out of here.

CTO_Ens_Thalataar says:
::Whispers.::  CSO:  I may need your proof of this.  COM: Lenai:  I have her authorization!  ::Snarls.::  We have proof that a Romulan signal accompanied the transmissions.  Do you deny that?

Host CO_Capt_Marsland says:
CSO/CTO: Report, gentlemen.

IO_Cmdr_Enki says:
@::Unties the OPS officer gently, and picks her up, one arm under her back and one under her knees.  The assault officers start leading the way back out::

MO_Lt_Hayes says:
Self: Mmm.... something ain't right. ::Takes one gel pack and moves it on a bio bed.::

CTO_Ens_Thalataar says:
::Puts the transmission on mute for a few moments.::  CO:  Commander Lenai is not cooperating.

OPS_Lt_B_Rochelle says:
@::moans softly:: All: Where are you taking me now Vank?

Host CO_Capt_Marsland says:
CTO: Why am I not surprised? ::walks over to his console

IO_Cmdr_Enki says:
@::Nods her head to the medic, who gives her a sedative, enough to keep her quiet.  Better to keep her sedated::

CSO_Lt_Knight says:
::Whispers:: CTO: They aren't going to admit  anythin' , mate. Not yet. CO: Our Chief Medical Officer says that she detected chronotons with her patients. I'm going to look into that a little later.

Commander_Lenai says:
# ::was about to reply with a few choice Romulan words when she sees a symbol appear in the corner of the screen signifying the audio signal has been lost:: ::takes the opportunity to issue some commands to her own crew::

Host CO_Capt_Marsland says:
CSO: Chronotons?  As in Cloaking?

MO_Lt_Hayes says:
Computer: Scan for any known decease as well as chronoton particles.

CTO_Ens_Thalataar says:
::Puts the audio back on.::  COM:  Lenai:  If you do not believe me, I can transmit our findings so that you can see for yourself.

Host CO_Capt_Marsland says:
::looks into the console as the CTO and Lenai talk::

Commander_Lenai says:
# ::looks up as the channel reopens:: COM Hayden: And have them in our possession as you build your web of lies? I think not.

CSO_Lt_Knight says:
CO: Aye. I was just about to dispatch Ens. Elliott. He's an expert on chronotons and cloaks.

General_Hanok says:
@::waits for the report to come in that she's been transferred, glaring at a display that shows the current position of the ships his people are currently aware of::

Host CO_Capt_Marsland says:
CSO: Do it.

CTO_Ens_Thalataar says:
COM: Lenai:  If I wanted to lie, I wouldn't be wasting my time trying to find some answers from you.  Do you deny that someone from your party sent us the transmission?!

CSO_Lt_Knight says:
::Taps combadge:: *Elliott*: Ens. Elliott, please repot to sickbay. We need your expertise.

Host CO_Capt_Marsland says:
COM: Lenai: I understand you have a question about authorization?  My officers are always authorized to use the com system if they need to find out information, especially if it's been hidden from us.

Commander_Lenai says:
# ::changes her tone, becoming even icier, if that were possible:: COM: Hayden: Then perhaps, Captain, you should keep a tighter leash on your underlings and teach them not to make such wild accusations.

ACTION: While the Hayden crew deal with the possibly troublesome Romulans, the PRISM team turns a corner and finds Vank there standing with a few Klingon Guards ...

Vank says:
@ ::Smiles, and lifts a disruptor:: ... ah, looks like I'll get to kill you after all.

Host CO_Capt_Marsland says:
COM: Lenai: They don't make wild accusations, Commander.
