OPS_Ens_Daniels says:
::Sitting at her console monitoring frequencies waiting for the USS Constantine to arrive.::
 
ACTION:  The USS Constantine enters the sector and positions itself in orbit around Durreva.

CO_LtCmdr_Andrews says:
::sitting in his chair, feeling somewhat centered after his visit to the Holodeck::
CEO_LtCmdr_Sparks says:
:: finishes the last of the routine checks on the engineering console as she watches the bridge crew around her ::
FCO_Cmdr_Roznine says:
::checks the flightplans out of the system::
Host CNS-McIntyre says:
::prepares her supply list for return to Starbase 71::
OPS_Ens_Daniels says:
CO:  Sir, USS Constantine is orbiting Durreva.  Would you like me open a comm channel for you?
XO_Q`tor says:
:: decides to stand from the uncomfortably soft chair and stretch his legs ::
CO_LtCmdr_Andrews says:
OPS: Yes, hail them.
FCO_Cmdr_Roznine says:
::looks all attentive and Starfleet-like::
OPS_Ens_Daniels says:
COM: USS Constantine:  This is the USS Huron.  It is good to see you.
CO_LtCmdr_Andrews says:
XO: Got somewhere to be, Commander? ::grins::
Constantine CO says:
#COM: Huron:  This is the Constantine.  Good to see you as well.  We are officially relieving you of your duty.  I am to remind you that you are to return to Starbase 71 for further order from Admiral Knight.
XO_Q`tor says:
CO: No sir.  It's just that the chair is too soft.
CEO_LtCmdr_Sparks says:
:: smiles as she hears the Captain's comment to Q`tor ::
OPS_Ens_Daniels says:
CO:  Captain, orders from the USS Constantine have come in.  Would you like me to respond?
FCO_Cmdr_Roznine says:
OPS: I'm sure you have a nice, hard bench somewhere for the commander? ::glances over his shoulder::
CNS-McIntyre says:
::snickers at Roz' comment to Brandy::
OPS_Ens_Daniels says:
FCO:  One can be arranged if it is so desired ::grinning.::
CO_LtCmdr_Andrews says:
::finds the Constantine's CO a little.. brusque:: OPS: Yes, just thank them for arriving and send them our sensor data from the pirate ships.
CEO_LtCmdr_Sparks says:
:: looks over at Randi and winks ::
FCO_Cmdr_Roznine says:
::nearly chokes at Brandy's reply:: CO: Ready to return to Starbase 71 as soon as we're free to go, sir. Course laid in and waiting.
CO_LtCmdr_Andrews says:
::shrugs:: XO: Suit yourself. I'm sure Ms. Daniels could provide something metal if you'd like.
CNS-McIntyre says:
::grins at Holly::
CO_LtCmdr_Andrews says:
::nods:: FCO: Thank you.
OPS_Ens_Daniels says:
COM: USS Constantine:  Aye, Constantine.  Thank you, and I am sending you data from the pirate ships.  ::Presses a few buttons on her console for the uplink.::  I will pass the message along to Captain Andrews.  Huron out.
Constantine CO says:
#COM: Huron:  What pirate ships?  ::sounding puzzled::
XO_Q`tor says:
:: Looks from OPS to the FCO :: OPS/FCO: Don't you two have anything to do?
OPS_Ens_Daniels says:
CO:  Captain, our orders are to report back to SB71 for further order from Admiral Knight.
XO:  I am, Sir.  ::Puts in the request for the metal bench for the XO.::
FCO_Cmdr_Roznine says:
::quirks an eyebrow:: XO: Of course, sir. As soon as the Constantine is done with us. ::looks all innocent::
CO_LtCmdr_Andrews says:
OPS: Thank you.
OPS_Ens_Daniels says:
::Grins and gives a wink at the FCO.::
CNS-McIntyre says:
::looks sideways at the XO to see if he is buying any of Roz' ... er em bull::
CO_LtCmdr_Andrews says:
COM: Constantine: We encountered some pirates in the area. Six of.. various types and an old B'rel-class Bird of Prey that's been staying cloaked. We took some damage, because our shields were down.
Constantine CO says:
#COM: CO:  We weren't apprised of any of this Captain.  We are not heavily armed.
CEO_LtCmdr_Sparks says:
:: sends a message to her staff to have their requisition orders ready for Ensign Daniels ::
CO_LtCmdr_Andrews says:
::sighs quietly:: COM: Constantine: Looks like we'll have to stick around for a while. I'll send a message to 71, asking for an Akira.
CNS-McIntyre says:
FCO:  Rox, kinda pushing the envelope today aren't we?  ::chuckling::
FCO_Cmdr_Roznine says:
::taps in a quick query to the flight bay, then returns to watch his console:: CNS: I had to test a boundary. ::smiles sweetly over his shoulder::
OPS_Ens_Daniels says:
CO:  Would you like me to open a channel to SF, Captain?
CNS-McIntyre says:
~~~FCO:  Uh huh... keep it up and you might find out the Klingon is NOT such a merry man!~~~
FCO_Cmdr_Roznine says:
~~~CNS: Oh, I know, but I really couldn't resist. I'll apologize to him as soon as we're in transit.~~~
XO_Q`tor says:
:: slowly wonders the bridge until he comes to the OPS station and smiles at Ensign Daniels::  OPS: I'm not going to find a spiked metal plate or any such thing on my chair anytime soon am I?
CO_LtCmdr_Andrews says:
::pauses:: OPS: In my Ready Room. ::stands, tugs his shirt and goes to his office, wondering why two Medical vessels were sent without escorts to the Gorn border::
CO_LtCmdr_Andrews says:
XO: Commander, you have the Bridge.
CEO_LtCmdr_Sparks says:
:: sees the look on Randi's face and wonders if she's sending telepathic messages again ::
XO_Q`tor says:
CO: Aye sir.
CO_LtCmdr_Andrews says:
::enters his Ready Room and sits down behind the desk::
OPS_Ens_Daniels says:
::Opens a comm channel to SF and patches it through to the Captain's ready room.::  *CO*:  Comm channel open, Captain.
Constantine CO says:
#COM: CO:  Captain, I don't think we need you to stay.  I assume SF is sending someone else to help here.
CO_LtCmdr_Andrews says:
*OPS*: Thank you, Ensign.
FCO_Cmdr_Roznine says:
::glances up at Q'tor, and grins:: OPS: Do you HAVE those in stock?
CO_LtCmdr_Andrews says:
COM: Constantine: There's still a threat present, Captain. I don't want to leave a pair of Medical ships this close to the Gorn border without an escort.
CNS-McIntyre says:
::begins to laugh::  FCO:  If needed, we could always have Q'tor use one half of an iron maiden.
CEO_LtCmdr_Sparks says:
:: stands up straighter for a moment :: XO: Sir, engineering can whip up something more to you liking.
CO_LtCmdr_Andrews says:
COM: Constantine: In fact, I'm about to get on the horn with 71 right now to make sure you'll be taken care of.
OPS_Ens_Daniels says:
XO:  Metal plate with spikes?  ::Looks at the FCO, and winks.::  If you so desire, sure.  We can get one in.  ::Punches a few buttons on the console to order to the bench.::
CEO_LtCmdr_Sparks says:
XO: Just tell me what you'd like and I'll see what we can come up with.
OPS_Ens_Daniels says:
XO:  You Klingons sure do weird things.
XO_Q`tor says:
FCO: :: smiling :: For both your sakes we better not have.
FCO_Cmdr_Roznine says:
::sniggers at the conversation:: XO: Aye, sir! I sure like my chair nice and comfy.
CNS-McIntyre says:
XO:  Which two Sir?  ::grinning at him, with a devilish gleam in her eyes::
OPS_Ens_Daniels says:
FCO:  Um .. Whoops!  I was just kidding, but I think I really did hit the requisition button.  ::Grins evilly at the XO.::
CO_LtCmdr_Andrews says:
::taps the button on his display, switching to the link with the Starbase::
XO_Q`tor says:
CEO: Just anything that is not as soft Commander.
 
ACTION:  As the Captain is about to COM Starbase 71, an old Ambassador class appears in the sector.

XO_Q`tor says:
CNS: et tu Counselor?
CEO_LtCmdr_Sparks says:
:: nods :: XO: Understood sir.
OPS_Ens_Daniels says:
XO:  Sir, an Ambassador class starship has entered the sector.
CNS-McIntyre says:
XO:  Who me Sir?  Now would I do that?
FCO_Cmdr_Roznine says:
~~~CNS: Yes you would.~~~
XO_Q`tor says:
:: switching into Serious mode ::  OPS: Hail them
Dragonstar CO says:
$COM: Huron:  This is the USS Dragonstar.  We are here to back up the two medical ships.
OPS_Ens_Daniels says:
XO:  Too late, Sir.  They are hailing us.  Shall I put it on view-screen for you, Sir?
XO_Q`tor says:
OPS:  Yes
CNS-McIntyre says:
~~~FCO:  You want me to kick you in the shins?~~~ ::trying her best not to laugh::
OPS_Ens_Daniels says:
::Places the communication on the view-screen for the XO.::  XO:  Comm link established.  Go ahead, Sir.
CO_LtCmdr_Andrews says:
COM: SB71: This is Lieutenant Commander James Andrews of the Huron, I'd like to request some support for a couple of Olympic-classes out here at Durrava.
FCO_Cmdr_Roznine says:
~~~CNS: No thanks, you wear pointy-toed steel-tipped boots with spiky heels.~~~
OPS_Ens_Daniels says:
*CO*:  Captain, you may wish to know that the USS Dragonstar has arrived to back up the two medical ships.
CO_LtCmdr_Andrews says:
::cringes:: COM: SB71: Actually, never mind. Sorry to bother you.
CNS-McIntyre says:
::takes a deep breath and hopes Roz can sense her mirth, as he is surely gonna get her in trouble yet:::
XO_Q`tor says:
COM: Dragonstar:  This is Commander Q'tor, First Officer of the USS Huron. You are a welcome sight.
OPS_Ens_Daniels says:
*CO*:  Sorry, Captain.  They just arrived.
CO_LtCmdr_Andrews says:
::clicks off the channel before they can respond:: *OPS*: Thank you, Ensign. ::leaves his Ready Room::
SB_71 says:
@COM: Huron:  If I'm not mistaken, support should either be there, or on it's way.
OPS_Ens_Daniels says:
CO:  Communication from SF, Sir.  It appears they got your message.
XO_Q`tor says:
COM: Dragonstar:  We're sending you what data we have concerning the raiders that we have encountered.
FCO_Cmdr_Roznine says:
::shoots Randi a wicked grin over his shoulder and resumes his look of outward calm::
OPS_Ens_Daniels says:
CO:  Would you like me to re-open the channel in your ready room?
CO_LtCmdr_Andrews says:
Self/OPS: Oh, for crying out loud.. this just isn't my day. No, just tell them sorry and thanks.
Dragonstar CO says:
$COM: Huron:  Understood.  Thanks for the info.  I understand you are to return to Starbase 71.  Good luck.
CEO_LtCmdr_Sparks says:
:; listens to the bridge conversation and thinks this crew needs a vacation.....and fast ::
XO_Q`tor says:
COM: Dragonstar:  Same to you.  Huron out.
CNS-McIntyre says:
XO:  Does that mean we are really going to leave this time Sir?
OPS_Ens_Daniels says:
COM: SB71:  SB71, this is the USS Huron.  The Dragonstar has arrived as the Captain was sending the communication.  Thank you and we'll be headed back to the SB shortly.
XO_Q`tor says:
CNS:  In a rush Counselor?  I thought you liked it here.
CO_LtCmdr_Andrews says:
::wipes his face as though sweaty:: FCO: Roz, you still have that course laid in?
SB_71 says:
@COM: Huron:  Understood.  Safe Journey.  SB71 out.
CNS-McIntyre says:
XO:  Yes Sir, I loved it... long hours, people dying on me... just my kind of place!
FCO_Cmdr_Roznine says:
CO: Aye, sir. Set and waiting.
OPS_Ens_Daniels says:
COM: SB71:  Aye, thank you, Sir.  Huron out.
CO_LtCmdr_Andrews says:
FCO: Good. Warp 7. Vas-y!
OPS_Ens_Daniels says:
CO:  Taken care of, Captain.
FCO_Cmdr_Roznine says:
CO: Aye, sir. Vas-y. Or as my mama likes to say... with our tail-feathers on fire.
FCO_Cmdr_Roznine says:
::taps the controls::
CO_LtCmdr_Andrews says:
::goes over to his chair and sits down, chuckling:: FCO: You speak French, Roz?

ACTION:  As the Huron moves to warp, the 6 pirate ships move into warp behind her.

CEO_LtCmdr_Sparks says:
:: watches the readings on the engine systems as they warp out ::
FCO_Cmdr_Roznine says:
CO: Enough to not get into trouble... actually. I think I picked up most from you.
OPS_Ens_Daniels says:
CO:  Captain, I'm picking up 6 pirate ships on sensors.  They are tailing us.
CO_LtCmdr_Andrews says:
::chuckles, then stops at Daniels' statement:: Self: Mere de dieu.
CEO_LtCmdr_Sparks says:
:: hears Brandi and sighs :: Self: Oh joy, someone wants to play.
CNS-McIntyre says:
::ah man... what now?::
XO_Q`tor says:
OPS: Go to yellow alert!
CO_LtCmdr_Andrews says:
FCO: Accelerate to Warp 7.5.
CNS-McIntyre says:
CEO:  My thoughts exactly Holly.
OPS_Ens_Daniels says:
::Takes the ship to yellow alert status.::
FCO_Cmdr_Roznine says:
CO: Warp 7.5, aye. ::increases the speed::
OPS_Ens_Daniels says:
XO:  At Yellow Alert.
XO_Q`tor says:
CO:  Do we stop and face them Captain, or proceed to Starbase 71?
 
ACTION:  The pirate ships increase their warp speed as well.  Odd that they are allowing themselves to be seen.

OPS_Ens_Daniels says:
::Transfers additional power to the engines.::  CO:  Pirate ships are matching speed.
CO_LtCmdr_Andrews says:
::looks over to the XO:: XO: Good point. FCO: Roz, plot a roundabout course to 71. Don't let them know where we're headed.
CO_LtCmdr_Andrews says:
OPS: Thank you.
CO_LtCmdr_Andrews says:
FCO: And increase to Warp 8.
OPS_Ens_Daniels says:
::Nods.::
FCO_Cmdr_Roznine says:
CO: Aye, sir. Drunken duck course to Starbase 71 at warp 8.
CNS-McIntyre says:
CO:  Would it hurt to see what they want?  I mean, I think they are being obvious, don't you?
OPS_Ens_Daniels says:
CO:  Would you like me to hail them?
CO_LtCmdr_Andrews says:
::considers this:: CNS: Makes me wonder what's going on at Durrava IV.
 
ACTION:  The pirate vessels match the course and speed of the Huron.

CO_LtCmdr_Andrews says:
OPS: Not yet, let's see if we can shake them.
OPS_Ens_Daniels says:
CNS:  Maybe what they want is not on Durrava IV after all.
CNS-McIntyre says:
CO:  Me too... but unless we ask, we won't know will we?
OPS_Ens_Daniels says:
CO:  Maybe what they want is on our ship.
FCO_Cmdr_Roznine says:
::plots the appropriate course:: CO: They are matching course and speed.
CO_LtCmdr_Andrews says:
FCO: Warp 9.
CO_LtCmdr_Andrews says:
OPS: Do we have any stores of the vaccine still on board?
CNS-McIntyre says:
OPS:  Could be Brandy, but I am sensing something else...
CO_LtCmdr_Andrews says:
::looks over:: CNS: What is it?
OPS_Ens_Daniels says:
CO:  Sir, if I may interject for a minute, at least we have assistance if we return to where the Dragonstar is located.  I will check with medical on that, right away.
FCO_Cmdr_Roznine says:
CO: Warp 9, aye. ::increases speed more::
CNS-McIntyre says:
CO:  Captain, I think you have hit on it... I think they want the vaccine.
T`Vol says:
%COM: Huron:  You can run, but you can't hide.
OPS_Ens_Daniels says:
*Sickbay*:  Doctor, are there any additional supplies of the vaccine on board?
CO_LtCmdr_Andrews says:
COM: T'Vol: Who said I was trying to hide?
FCO_Cmdr_Roznine says:
CO/CNS: Maybe they need the vaccine for their own sick and infected?
Sickbay says:
*OPS*:  Yes, Brandy.  We have plenty.
XO_Q`tor says:
CO: Shall we arm weapons Captain?
CO_LtCmdr_Andrews says:
FCO/CNS: You think so? Would explain a lot.
CNS-McIntyre says:
FCO:  Perhaps... I wonder who they are?
OPS_Ens_Daniels says:
CO:  Captain, they are hailing us.
CO_LtCmdr_Andrews says:
XO: No, just maintain shields.
OPS_Ens_Daniels says:
CO:  And yes, we have plenty of vaccine available yet.
CO_LtCmdr_Andrews says:
OPS: Onscreen. ::stands and pulls on the shirt again::
OPS_Ens_Daniels says:
::Places the communication onscreen.::  CO:  Comm channel open.
FCO_Cmdr_Roznine says:
CNS: We won't know unless we ask... and we're going to find out it seems.
T`Vol says:
%COM:  Huron:  Got anything faster than Warp 9?
XO_Q`tor says:
:: Feels rather deflated at not being able to arm weapons ::
XO_Q`tor says:
Self: Yes we do, we have torpedoes
CO_LtCmdr_Andrews says:
COM: T'Vol: You'll run out of fuel long before we do; I don't recommend you try to pace us. What do you want?
T`Vol says:
%COM:  Huron:  I seriously doubt we'll run out of fuel....but if you want to chance it, by all means, please do.
CO_LtCmdr_Andrews says:
COM: T'Vol: Let me guess, your cloaked friend is full of deuterium. Seriously, you've fired on a Federation starship; I'd be well within my rights to blow you from the sky. What do you want?
OPS_Ens_Daniels says:
::Whispers to the XO.::  XO:  Should I send a communication to the USS Dragonstarfor back up?
 
ACTION:  The BoP uncloaks to show off.

XO_Q`tor says:
OPS: Inform them of our situation, but they are to remain where they are.
T`Vol says:
%COM: Huron:  I'd check my sensors if I were you.  Do you really think you'd be the one blowing us out of the sky?
FCO_Cmdr_Roznine says:
::looks slightly worried... 7 ships was about 7 more than what he wanted to dodge in a firefight.::
CEO_LtCmdr_Sparks says:
:: moves over to the Co's seat and whispers :: CO: Sir, there's something strange about that BoP uncloaking just now.
CO_LtCmdr_Andrews says:
::raises an eyebrow:: COM: T'Vol: Clearly you're underestimating the capabilities of New Orleans-class ship. Now, tell me you what want.
CO_LtCmdr_Andrews says:
::turns around so T'Vol can't see and whispers:: CEO: What is it?
OPS_Ens_Daniels says:
::Nods to the XO and opens the channel to the USS Dragonstar.::  COM: USS Dragonstar:  This is the USS Huron, we are being pursued by 6 pirate ships and a BoP.  The XO wanted you to be aware, but you are to remain where you are to protect the medical vessels.
CEO_LtCmdr_Sparks says:
CO: They wouldn't do that unless they are low on power for some reason. Why show yourself if you're trying to keep the advantage? They must be having a problem with their power systems.
XO_Q`tor says:
OPS:  :: quietly :: Open a channel to Star Fleet informing them of our status.
CO_LtCmdr_Andrews says:
::a smile creeps across his lips:: CEO: Thank you, Commander.
CEO_LtCmdr_Sparks says:
CO: I'll try and run a power level on them. :: turns and heads back to her console ::
OPS_Ens_Daniels says:
::Nods.::  COM: SB71:  This is the USS Huron, we are being pursued by 6 pirate ships and a BoP.  
XO:  ::whispers:: Would you like me to request back-up, Sir?
CO_LtCmdr_Andrews says:
::sits down in his chair and indicates that she should send the results to one of the armrests::
 
ACTION:  The COM to the Dragonstar is blocked.

CEO_LtCmdr_Sparks says:
:: nods to the science duty officer to begin a scan of the BoP's power system ::
T`Vol says:
%COM:  Huron:  I'd advise against calling for back-up Captain.  You'll be spacedust by the time they got here.
OPS_Ens_Daniels says:
::Whispers to the XO.::  XO:  They are jamming my signal!
CNS-McIntyre says:
CO:  Captain, I think Holly is right.  I am detecting distress from the voice.  Also Sir... he is Romulan!
OPS_Ens_Daniels says:
::Whispers.::  XO:  Communications were not delivered.
XO_Q`tor says:
OPS:  ::whispering still:: Not just yet, but request that... QIvatlh!  Can you get through it?
CO_LtCmdr_Andrews says:
COM: T'Vol: Ahhh. Right. You and your out-dated Bird of Prey pose such a threat.
 
ACTION:  The BoP powers up his weapon systems.

CO_LtCmdr_Andrews says:
::looks over:: CNS: What? The Romulans are involved?
OPS_Ens_Daniels says:
CO:  Sir, they're powering weapons!
CO_LtCmdr_Andrews says:
OPS: Maintain shields.
T`Vol says:
%COM:  Huron:  We can either go at it right here and now, or you can drop the tough approach and listen.
FCO_Cmdr_Roznine says:
::watches the sensors, readying the ship for evasives::
CNS-McIntyre says:
CO:  Sir, it has that mental "flavor" if you know what I mean.
XO_Q`tor says:
CO: Weapons now sir?
OPS_Ens_Daniels says:
::Tries to break through the communications block, rerouting communications on emergency channels.  Maintains power to shields.::
XO:  Negative, Sir ::whispered.::
CO_LtCmdr_Andrews says:
COM: T'Vol: Tell me what you want.
T`Vol says:
%COM:  Huron:  I understand you have a certain vaccine onboard.
CO_LtCmdr_Andrews says:
::nods:: CNS: I think so.
CEO_LtCmdr_Sparks says:
:: sends the result of the scan to the Captain's chair in text stating that the BOP is low on power ::
CO_LtCmdr_Andrews says:
COM: T'Vol: I may. What concern is it of yours?
CO_LtCmdr_Andrews says:
::sees the message and sends back, "Handy. Thanks."::
T`Vol says:
%COM:  Huron:  I have one tiny request and we will be on our way.
CNS-McIntyre says:
::turning so she cannot be heard or seen::  CO:  Sir, that is it, they need the vaccine.
OPS_Ens_Daniels says:
CO:  Captain, if it’s vaccine they want and need, we have plenty.  Commander Knight-Sky has plenty replicated and in stock.
CO_LtCmdr_Andrews says:
COM: T'Vol: I'm all ears.
OPS_Ens_Daniels says:
::Continues to try to get a communication through to SF and the Dragonstar.::
 
ACTION:  Out of nowhere, the viewscreen comes on and reveals the Romulan Captain, with a crew of composed of multiple species.

T`Vol says:
%COM:  Huron:  Just transfer the formula over so that we may make the vaccine, and we will gladly be on our way.
OPS_Ens_Daniels says:
CO:  Viewscreen on, Captain.  It's for you.
XO_Q`tor says:
Self: :: loud enough for all to hear ::  romuluSngan p'taH!
CO_LtCmdr_Andrews says:
COM: T'Vol: It's a rare vaccine that you refer to; not easy to make.. especially with your B'rel so low on power.
CO_LtCmdr_Andrews says:
::glares at the XO::
FCO_Cmdr_Roznine says:
::stll has the evasives plotted::
T`Vol says:
%COM:  Huron:  How about you not worry how we make it and just transfer it over.
CO_LtCmdr_Andrews says:
COM: T'Vol: Is that a threat?
 
ACTION:  The 6 ships begin to position themselves advantageously for a battle.

T`Vol says:
%COM:  Huron:  Let's just call it a warning, shall we.  ::looks down at his console::  I'm waiting Captain.
FCO_Cmdr_Roznine says:
CO: They are moving to block my evasive maneuvers, sir.
CEO_LtCmdr_Sparks says:
:: looks at the view screen and wonders how the Romulan Captain would look with his ears bobbed ::
OPS_Ens_Daniels says:
::Whispers to the Captain.::  CO:  If they fire and destroy our ship, they have no vaccine.
XO_Q`tor says:
::Steps over to the CO and quietly this time tells him::  CO: Sir, we can not just give them what they want without making them answer for their crimes.
CNS-McIntyre says:
CO:  Sir, I agree with the XO, but since we are somewhat outnumbered, perhaps being prudent is the better solution?
OPS_Ens_Daniels says:
::Speaks up.::  ALL:  Why not just tell them if they fire on us and destroy our ship, they are still without the vaccine.
CO_LtCmdr_Andrews says:
CNS/XO: I have no intention of giving them what they want.
CO_LtCmdr_Andrews says:
OPS: That's a very good point, Ensign.
XO_Q`tor says:
CO: Besides, who knows what they would do with it.  For all we know they will twist it into some sort of bio-weapon.
OPS_Ens_Daniels says:
ALL:  And .. they risk war with the federation.
CO_LtCmdr_Andrews says:
COM: T'Vol: You do realize that if, by some chance you actually managed to destroy this ship, you'd not only lose any vaccine we might be carrying, but you also risk open war with the Federation. I'm sure the Dragonstar would make short work of whoever's left.
CEO_LtCmdr_Sparks says:
:: snickers to herself that a good Romulan is a .....well one with short ears, or no ears.
T`Vol says:
%COM:  Huron:  Captain, it appears I have a small outbreak on the planet we are from.  Now it wouldn't be in SF's best interest to deny a people in need, would it?
OPS_Ens_Daniels says:
Self:  Great!  Now they are asking, and no longer demanding.
CNS-McIntyre says:
CO:  Captain, he is telling the truth.  ::sensing the deep honesty of his words::
CO_LtCmdr_Andrews says:
COM: T'Vol: It's also against Federation policy to negotiate with terrorists. What's your planet?
XO_Q`tor says:
CO:  ::still quietly:: Why didn't he just ask for it before?
T`Vol says:
%COM:  Huron:  Terrorists?  What ever gave you the idea we were terrorists?
OPS_Ens_Daniels says:
XO:  Better yet, why are there pirate ships with him?
CNS-McIntyre says:
XO:  Q'tor, some folks would rather die, steal, or cheat, rather than ask for help.  You wouldn't happen to know any species like that would you Sir?  ::smiling sweetly at him::
CO_LtCmdr_Andrews says:
COM: T'Vol: Firing on Federation ships usually gives off that impression. ::thinks and sighs:: How much vaccine do you need, just by the by?
CO_LtCmdr_Andrews says:
XO: I'd love to know that myself.
XO_Q`tor says:
CNS: If you are referring to Klingons Counselor I would remind you of the Praxis incident.
T`Vol says:
%COM:  Huron:  Where we are from and how much we need is of no concern to you.  All we need is the formula to make it ourselves.
CNS-McIntyre says:
XO:  My apologies Q'tor, I meant no offense.
CO_LtCmdr_Andrews says:
COM: T'Vol: I'll give you some produced vaccine and save you some effort. I'm not in the mood for an argument.
OPS_Ens_Daniels says:
CO:  Shall I order the sickbay to deliver the supplies to the transporter room, Captain?
CNS-McIntyre says:
CO:  A wise choice Captain.
T`Vol says:
%COM:  Huron:  I'll get right back to you.  ::cuts communication::
FCO_Cmdr_Roznine says:
CO: I take it we're dropping to normal space?
CO_LtCmdr_Andrews says:
OPS: Have it delivered to aft torpedo control.
OPS_Ens_Daniels says:
CO:  How much do you want to give them?
T`Vol says:
%COM:  Huron:  That will be just fine Captain.  We'll await transport of the vaccine.
CO_LtCmdr_Andrews says:
FCO: No, I'm not wasting time with these chuckleheads. OPS: As much as they ask for. Have it placed in torpedo casings then fire.
OPS_Ens_Daniels says:
::Orders the necessary vaccines to aft torpedo control from sickbay.::
CO_LtCmdr_Andrews says:
COM: T'Vol: Hope you're a good catch. ::taps his console and cuts off the commlink::
FCO_Cmdr_Roznine says:
CO: Chuckleheads? That's a new one.
CO_LtCmdr_Andrews says:
::smirks:: FCO: Would you have preferred monkeys?

ACTION:  The vaccine is sent in the torpedoes to the BoP.

CNS-McIntyre says:
::grins at the Captain's choice of words::
CO_LtCmdr_Andrews says:
Self/All: That was ridiculous.
T`Vol says:
%COM:  Huron:  Until next time, Captain.
 
ACTION:  (Time Warp) The Huron arrives two days later at Starbase 71.
