<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<RESUME MISSION>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>

CNS-Cmdr-McIntyre says:
Bre`nal:  Make up your mind, either I can get more merchandise for my rock or I will take my business to Mel`tra.
CTO_LtCmdr_Ec`Thel`Ion says:
OPS: How did a Romulan disruptor get this far out you think?
Mel`Tra says:
CTO:  So, what was it you were looking for again.....a warp coil, right?
CO_CDR_Q`tor says:
@ :: paces back and forth around the bridge, scowling ::
OPS_Ens_Sahen says:
CTO: Good question. Maybe there is a Romulan ship lost here just like us.
Bre`nal says:
:: watches Scoo and the Counselor, his mouth drooling over the redhead :: CNS: Fine, take your rock to that thief, but I assure you that I have what you want.
CTO_LtCmdr_Ec`Thel`Ion says:
Mel'Tra: Yeah, that's the main thing we're looking for, but there's some stuff in here that is quite interesting.  We may have other business coming your way.
OPS_Ens_Sahen says:
::remembers he has the padd in his pocket containing the specifications and pulls it out and hands it to Mel'tra:: Mel'tra: These are the specifications of the warp coil we are looking for.
CNS-Cmdr-McIntyre says:
Scoo:  I guess we won't be buying anything here today.  What a pity... I am sure there would have been more we could have used.  Shall we go?  ::taking his arm again::
TO_Scoo says:
::Grunts and takes the CNS lead.::
Mel`Tra says:
CTO:  Of course, of course!  ::scratches his head::  But I think I'm going to have to take a look in the back.  I believe I have something along what your looking for.  Please, feel free to browse around.
CNS-Cmdr-McIntyre says:
::deliberately sways her hips as she knows Bre`nal is watching her every move::
Bre`nal says:
:: reaches up and takes down a box with some shiny metal inside :: CNS: Lots of good stuff in here and I got plenty more in the back little lady. Care to look?
Mel`Tra says:
::takes the padd from OPS::  OPS:  Just remember, if you damage anything, you've just purchased it.  ::walks to the back::
CTO_LtCmdr_Ec`Thel`Ion says:
OPS: Good, if it were left to me, I'd probably bring home an internal combustion engine part or something, and Hol...Commander Sparks would kill me.
OPS_Ens_Sahen says:
::nods and goes back to the disruptor inspecting it closely:: Self: I wonder if there’s any other Romulan equipment here..
CTO_LtCmdr_Ec`Thel`Ion says:
OPS: But if they have a disruptor, and they've made contact, it could give us information we can use to get home.
CNS-Cmdr-McIntyre says:
::walking to the door of his shop she turns as he offers to show her more::  Bre`nal:  Let me see what you have.  IF it is something we need, I might be persuaded to trade for the books and art you were interested in.
OPS_Ens_Sahen says:
::gets a puzzled look on his face as he was focusing on the disruptor :: CTO: What exactly do you mean?
CTO_LtCmdr_Ec`Thel`Ion says:
::Scans the books, looking for any Romulan, or other familiar, print.::
Bre`nal says:
:: motions to the door in the back :: Scoo: You might like my supply of live meat. :: grins a yellow, toothy grin ::
 
ACTION:  Loud noises from things being knocked over are heard along with clattering of different metals in the back of Mel`Tra's shop.

CTO_LtCmdr_Ec`Thel`Ion says:
OPS: If a ship came through, they may have found a way home.  Hopeful perhaps, but won't hurt to check.  Sounds like this guy needs some better organization, would make his life so much easier.
Bre`nal says:
:: rubs his hands gleefully :: CNS: Right this way my dear. :: opens the door to the darkened room ::
CNS-Cmdr-McIntyre says:
::she glances up at Scoo, wondering if he can be mislead::
OPS_Ens_Sahen says:
::startled by the sounds almost drops the disruptor:: Self: Sheesh, clean up once in a while...
OPS_Ens_Sahen says:
CTO: I'll ask Mel'tra when he comes back where he got it from.
TO_Scoo says:
Bre'nal: We're not splitting up, though.  No matter how much good food you have.  I have clear orders on that.
CNS-Cmdr-McIntyre says:
::waits to see what Bre`nal will do next::
CTO_LtCmdr_Ec`Thel`Ion says:
OPS: Good idea, might have more stuff youd enjoy.
Bre`nal says:
:: scowls :: Scoo: Just trying to make an honest living here fella.
CNS-Cmdr-McIntyre says:
Bre`nal:  Let's see what you have in the back.
OPS_Ens_Sahen says:
::resumes looking through the piles of metal scrap knocking over something and winces:: Self: Hope that didn't break anything...
CNS-Cmdr-McIntyre says:
::looks at other merchandise as they make their way to the back of the shop::
Bre`nal says:
:: flicks on a switch and floods the room with light :: CNS: See, anything your little heart desires. :: motions to aisles of machinery, and other parts ::
Mel`Tra says:
::walks back out to the front, again scratching his head as he looks the room over::  CTO:  I know I've seen something along these specifications before.
TO_Scoo says:
::Follows close behind.::
CTO_LtCmdr_Ec`Thel`Ion says:
Mel'Tra: I hope so, we're a long way from home, and would like a little security in our supply availability.
CNS-Cmdr-McIntyre says:
Scoo:  I don't recognize some of this stuff.  Any idea what it is?
Bre`nal says:
:: sticks out a foot as Scoo passes :: Scoo: Oh be careful there Mr. Scoo. Lots of hidden dangers back here.
TO_Scoo says:
::Shrungs shoulders, looks at Bre'nal, but stays close.::
Bre`nal says:
CNS: What does my lady desire? I have a wide variety of stock from many kinds of ships. You need a new sonic shower perhaps?
CO_CDR_Q`tor says:
@ ENS_ Dooright:  You have the bridge.
Mel`Tra says:
CTO:  I just know I've seen something.  Perhaps it's in a shipment I received just this week that I haven't had time to inventory.  I keep those out back.  I'll be back in just a few minutes.
CTO_LtCmdr_Ec`Thel`Ion says:
OPS: Did you want to ask our merchant about that thing you found?
CO_CDR_Q`tor says:
@:: enters the TL:: TL: Main Engineering
CNS-Cmdr-McIntyre says:
Bre`nal:  We would like to have an extra warp coil if you have one.  ::taking a padd from Scoo, she hands it to Bre`nal::  This is what it looks like.  Have anything like it?
OPS_Ens_Sahen says:
CTO: Ah, yes I will. I'm just waiting for him to look for that warp coil first.
CNS-Cmdr-McIntyre says:
::it seems he totally forgot this is what she asked for in the beginning::
Host CO_CDR_Q`tor says:
@::exits the TL and enters ME::
Bre`nal says:
:: takes the padd and reads it :: CNS: Warp coil you say? Let's see. We had a Romulan trader pass by some months back and he was interested in some plasma relays...:: rummages through the aisles searching ::
CTO_LtCmdr_Ec`Thel`Ion says:
OPS: I think, assuming we get R&R down here, I will likely do a good bit of searching down here.  This is just one shop, and I've already seen half a dozen things I'd like.
Host CO_CDR_Q`tor says:
@CEO: Commander, any progress with the Commander Knight-Sky recovery effort?
CEO_LtCmdr_Sparks says:
@CO: Still working on it sir. It's slow going, but we will find a way.
OPS_Ens_Sahen says:
CTO: I'm not having the same luck unfortuneately.
Bre`nal says:
:: pushes some boxes aside and towards Scoo ::
CTO_LtCmdr_Ec`Thel`Ion says:
OPS: You found the disruptor.  That's more than a little luck.
CO_CDR_Q`tor says:
@:: grunts and leaves ME::
TO_Scoo says:
::Takes the boxes and moves them out of the way to keep an eye on the CNS.::
OPS_Ens_Sahen says:
::lifts a pile of junk carefully and looks at the book under it and slips, dropping the junk on his feet:: Self: GAH!
CTO_LtCmdr_Ec`Thel`Ion says:
OPS: You all right?
CNS-Cmdr-McIntyre says:
::while Bre`nal is trying to obstruct Scoo, she continues looking into the bins::
 
ACTION:  OPS gets a huge gash across the top of his foot from a sharp piece of metal.

Bre`nal says:
CNS: Warp coil you said? I may have sold one to a little Ferengi the other day. He had these wonderful ancient artifacts...care to see them?
CNS-Cmdr-McIntyre says:
Bre`nal:  Yes I would.  What is a Ferengi doing in this neck of the woods?
OPS_Ens_Sahen says:
CTO: I don't think so. ::winces in pain and holds his foot::
Bre`nal says:
:: throws Scoo a box :: Scoo: Hold that will you Mr. Scoo. :: grins ::
CO_CDR_Q`tor says:
@::Ends up at the transporter room:: Tech: Beam me down to Ensign Sahen's location.  I want to find out what's taking so long.
Mel`Tra says:
::comes back in with the piece of equipment::  CTO:  Is this what you are looking for?  ::notices the OPS officer and runs over to him::
CTO_LtCmdr_Ec`Thel`Ion says:
OPS: That doesn't look good.  I'm going to call the ship and have a Medic sent down to take a look at that.
CNS-Cmdr-McIntyre says:
Bre`nal:  I need you to answer a question for me... how many other races have come through that wormhole?
Transporter_Tech says:
@CO: Aye sir. :: waits for the CO to stand on the transport pad and then activates the transporter::
CTO_LtCmdr_Ec`Thel`Ion says:
*Sickbay*: We seem to have had an accident down here, and Ensign Sahen seems to have suffered an injury.  Can you send a Medic down to our location?
Bre`nal says:
:: looks puzzled and stops rummaging for a moment :: CNS: Wormhole? No idea what you're talking about missy. We get all kinds of strangers in these parts.
Mel`Tra says:
::goes over and grabs his medkit::  OPS:  Here, give me your leg.  Your boot is going to have to come off so I can treat the wound.
Mel`Tra says:
CTO:  No need to have one sent down.  I'll have him back on his foot in no time.
OPS_Ens_Sahen says:
::nods and tries to move his leg::
CTO_LtCmdr_Ec`Thel`Ion says:
Mel'Tra: Thanks.  Question though, there's a few things in this shop that I recognize.  Considering we're years away from our home system, that shouldn't be.
CNS-Cmdr-McIntyre says:
Bre`nal:  So you know nothing about a hole that opens up not too far from here in your area of space?
Mel`Tra says:
OPS:  Okay, this is probably going to hurt just a bit, but I need to remove your boot.  Do you require any pain medicine?
CTO_LtCmdr_Ec`Thel`Ion says:
Mel'Tra: No offense, but our Medics know Ensign Sahen's make up.  Plus if they don't get involved and sign off on any injury, they tend to hold it against those involved.  Hard rule, never mess with a Medic.
OPS_Ens_Sahen says:
Mel'tra: No, just go ahead.
Bre`nal says:
:: digs inside another box :: Self: Disrupters, sonic spanners...:: looks up :: CNS: You talk strangely missy, but I like you....a lot. :: sighs and makes suggestive gestures with his finger ::
CNS-Cmdr-McIntyre says:
Scoo:  Looks like this planet has had a lot of visitors from our sector of space.
Mel`Tra says:
::with one quick movement, he removes the boot from OPS' foot::  CTO:  What is it you recognize?
OPS_Ens_Sahen says:
::winces but makes no noise::
CO_CDR_Q`tor says:
:: materializes outside Mel'Tra's shop and looks around before going inside.
CNS-Cmdr-McIntyre says:
*CTO*:  Icky, if you can, please come to the shop I am in.  There are some interesting items you might want to see.
Mel`Tra says:
CTO:  And by the way, was that over there, what you were looking for?
CTO_LtCmdr_Ec`Thel`Ion says:
::Takes Tricorder and records an image of the thing that cut the Ensign, also scanning it for signs of dangerous organisms.::  Mel'Tra: Well, the Ensign found a weapon from the Romulan Star Empire, which is very far away.
CTO_LtCmdr_Ec`Thel`Ion says:
*CNS*: We'll be a few minutes, we had a slight injury here, should be just a bit.
CO_CDR_Q`tor says:
::Looks around in the shop and see's his CTO, and then spots his Operations officer on the floor with his boot off.::
Mel`Tra says:
OPS:  Just one more obstacle to go.  I'll just cut your sock above the ankle, that shouldn't hurt at all.
OPS_Ens_Sahen says:
::senses the presence of the captain and now feels like a complete idiot::
Host CO_CDR_Q`tor says:
ALL: What in ghre'thor is going on in here?
CNS-Cmdr-McIntyre says:
*CTO*:  Understood.
Mel`Tra says:
::looks up::  CO:  Oh, hello.  Can I help you with anything?
CTO_LtCmdr_Ec`Thel`Ion says:
::Turns about.::  CO: Captain!  Sir, the Ensign had a bit of a run in with a piece of metal and had a slight injury.  I called Sickbay to let them know.
Bre`nal says:
CNS: So see anything you want yet? I can use a  few of those rocks you have.
Mel`Tra says:
CTO:  Oh phooey with your sickbay.  I've got this under control.  Your man here will be perfectly fine in just a few minutes.
CO_CDR_Q`tor says:
::Looks from OPS to the CTO to Mel'Tra in disbelief ::
CNS-Cmdr-McIntyre says:
Bre`nal:  Possibly... another person from my crew will be joining us shortly.
Bre`nal says:
:: walks to the rear of the shop and unlocks another door :: Scoo: You wanna see the big stuff boy? ::pushes the door open ::
CO_CDR_Q`tor says:
OPS: I sent you for a warp coil and you end up nearly cutting your foot off!
CTO_LtCmdr_Ec`Thel`Ion says:
Mel'Tra: That may be so, but I told you, Doctors love records of everything.  And it looks like the right thing.
CO_CDR_Q`tor says:
CTO: Where is Counselor McIntyre?
Bre`nal says:
:: picks up a nearby inventory list :: Aloud: Ah here it is! Warp coil...
OPS_Ens_Sahen says:
CO: Well sir, it certainly wasn't part of my agenda...
CTO_LtCmdr_Ec`Thel`Ion says:
CO: My apologies, we were looking to solve a mystery.
Mel`Tra says:
OPS:  This is going to hurt for just a minute or two.  ::pours some liquid over the gash on the OPS foot::
CTO_LtCmdr_Ec`Thel`Ion says:
CO: The Counselor is in the next shop with Ensign Scoo.
CNS-Cmdr-McIntyre says:
bre`nal:  Great!  Let's see it.
Bre`nal says:
:: grins :: CNS: What's it worth to you little lady?
CNS-Cmdr-McIntyre says:
Bre`nal:  It depends on what kind of shape it is in.  Let me call my crew mate and have him examine it.
CNS-Cmdr-McIntyre says:
*CTO*:  Looks like we have a warp coil here, but I need someone to verify that it is in working order.
CO_CDR_Q`tor says:
CTO: The mystery of the wormhole I would hope.
OPS_Ens_Sahen says:
::squints slightly when the liquid makes its way all the way in::
CTO_LtCmdr_Ec`Thel`Ion says:
CO: The Ensign found a Romulan Disruptor, apparently authentic.  We were looking to see if it was alone or not.  Counselor McIntyre said she found stuff of interest next door as well.  ::Walks to the Disruptor and picks it up, showing it to the CO.::
Bre`nal says:
:: shrugs :: CNS: Very well, but the price just doubled.
 
ACTION:  Mel`Tra takes what looks like a dermal regenerator and runs it back and forth over the top of the OPS' foot.

CO_CDR_Q`tor says:
::Takes the disruptor from the CTO and looks it over:: Mel'Tra: How did you come across this?
CTO_LtCmdr_Ec`Thel`Ion says:
*CNS*: We have one here as well, looks like we can have some spares.  The Captain just joined us, though.  He may be more qualified to check it's workability than I would be.  I'm a puncher, not an Engineer.
Bre`nal says:
CNS: Unless of course you'd care to accompany to a little outing this evening? I'd like to have a pretty thing like you on my arm. Mel'Tra would turn green.
Mel`Tra says:
CO:  Come across what?  ::looks up::  Oh, that.  I don't like to reveal any sources.
CNS-Cmdr-McIntyre says:
Scoo:  Do me a favor would you?
CO_CDR_Q`tor says:
::Not in a good mood:: Mel'Tra: Make an exception this once. It's very important.
Mel`Tra says:
OPS:  There, now how does that feel?
TO_Scoo says:
CNS: What do you need?
Bre`nal says:
:: whispers to Scoo:: Scoo: Fresh targh ..over to the left. Help yourself.
CTO_LtCmdr_Ec`Thel`Ion says:
Mel'Tra: We can compensate you for the information, as well as the coil.
OPS_Ens_Sahen says:
::moves his toes and his foot:: Mel'tra: Still hurts some but its manageable. Thanks.
TO_Scoo says:
Bre'nal: Targh?  The Piggy things?
CNS-Cmdr-McIntyre says:
Scoo:  Mr. Bre`nal here seems to think that I am a companion that he can bargain for.  Would you kindly show him how wrong he can be?
CO_CDR_Q`tor says:
::Looks at Sahen's injured foort:: OPS: It's a long way from the heart. You'll live.
CNS-Cmdr-McIntyre says:
::trying to hold her temper, before she hurts the little man::
Mel`Tra says:
OPS:  I think you'll live.  But unfortunately, I do not have any foot gear here to replace your boot.
TO_Scoo says:
::Steps between Bre'nal and the CNS.:: Bre'nal: Were you just trying to get me out of the way?  Do you think me stupid?  ::Growls.::
Mel`Tra says:
OPS:  It's strange to see people without any webbing there where it should be.
Bre`nal says:
Scoo: Do not know piggy things, but we have a supply of targhs delivered from one of the locals here. He raised them from runts that he got in trade.
CO_CDR_Q`tor says:
Mel'Tra: I'm afraid I'm going to have to insist.  It is very important that we find out how and when you came across this.
OPS_Ens_Sahen says:
Mel'Tra: Thats alright. ::Tries to get his balance and shifts his weight to his booted foot keeping his injured foot off the ground::
Mel`Tra says:
CO/CTO:  I'll look back through my records and see what I can find out.
TO_Scoo says:
::Steps even closer.::  Bre'nal: Trade from who?
Bre`nal says:
:: raises his hands :: Scoo: Whoa there boy, just trying to be friendly.
CO_CDR_Q`tor says:
Mel'Tra: It would be most appreciated.
CO_CDR_Q`tor says:
CTO/OPS: Have you found any other items from the alpha quadrant?
CTO_LtCmdr_Ec`Thel`Ion says:
CO/ OPS: Having one Disruptor is interesting.  Having a Beta Quadrant, Federation local trading partner implies ease of travel I would think.
OPS_Ens_Sahen says:
CTO: Perhaps they know of some secret way of travel or a shortcut that we don't?
Bre`nal says:
Scoo: I don't know where he got them, just some trader I expect. You people sure are curious.
CO_CDR_Q`tor says:
CTO/OPS: Perhaps that wormhole is recurring.
Mel`Tra says:
CO/CTO/OPS:  Would you care for something to drink while I go look through my records?
CTO_LtCmdr_Ec`Thel`Ion says:
CO: A few of the books may be Romulan, I'm not an expert on the type, after all.  But if it is...  ::Steps to the pile of books to find one of the ones that looked close.::  Mel'Tra: None for me, thanks.
OPS_Ens_Sahen says:
Mel'Tra: I'll take some Romulan Ale if you have any.
CNS-Cmdr-McIntyre says:
:::;watches as Scoo backs him up against the wall, then begins to roll up her sleeve and play with the blade that Q'tor gave her;:
TO_Scoo says:
Bre'nal: It's our job.
Bre`nal says:
CNS: Is he always like this? :: puts his hands up to keep Scoo back ::
Mel`Tra says:
OPS:  I think that same gentleman you are referring to, actually gave me some Romulan Ale.....I'll go get you one.
CO_CDR_Q`tor says:
::Shoots a look at Sahen hearing his request, then unsuccessfully hides a grin:: OPS: Smooth.  Very smooth.
 
ACTION:  A medic is transported down to the OPS' location.

CNS-Cmdr-McIntyre says:
::playing with her blade, she looks up at Bre`nal:  Bre`nal:  Yes he is, especially when his questions are not answered quickly.  ::begins to grin wickedly at him::
OPS_Ens_Sahen says:
::grins after hearing the captain::
Bre`nal says:
:: sees the Counselor's blade and grins even more broadly :: CNS: Wonderful blade. Who made it?
Mel`Tra says:
::returns and hands OPS the Ale::  OPS:  Here you go.
Bre`nal says:
:: moves past Scoo and over to the Counselor, admiring the blade all the while ::
Mel`Tra says:
CO:  Are you sure you wouldn't care for anything?
Medic says:
::Walks over and scans OPS's foot.::  OPS: What happened...wait, they said you were injured.
CTO: What is this, a joke?  You called us for a Medical emergency.  Lousy Tactical Officers, always overstate the situation.
CNS-Cmdr-McIntyre says:
::flips the blade down to her hand, and throws it.  It lands between Bre`nal's shoulder and ear::  Bre`nal:  I don't think you really want to know.  He wouldn't appreciate it if it left my possession.  ::walking over she removes it from the wall::
CO_CDR_Q`tor says:
CTO/OPS:  I think that would confirm that there is a definite link to the Alpha Quadrant.  Now the question would be "who?".
Scoo says:
Bre'nal: The lady said for you to back off.  You'd do well to do it of your own record.
CTO_LtCmdr_Ec`Thel`Ion says:
CO: Correction, the question would be "how".
OPS_Ens_Sahen says:
::takes a sip of the Ale and smiles:: Mel'tra: Thank you.
CNS-Cmdr-McIntyre says:
*CO*: Captain, I need your company.  We have found another warp coil, and the owner has taken a like to the blade you gave me.  Perhaps you two should discuss this matter.
Bre`nal says:
:: gulps and back away slowly :: CNS: Ah, it's probably a fake anyway. Get lots of them out here.
CTO_LtCmdr_Ec`Thel`Ion says:
Medic: What can I say?  He was treated by the locals.
CO_CDR_Q`tor says:
CTO/OPS: The romuluSgnan are not exactly known for their trade routes.
CTO_LtCmdr_Ec`Thel`Ion says:
Mel'Tra: OK, for that coil, we've got these for trade.  What's the going rate?  ::Pulls out one of the diamonds.::
CNS-Cmdr-McIntyre says:
*CO*:  Now the owner is calling the blade a fake.  I do think you need to be here Sir.
Bre`nal says:
:: snears at Scoo :: Scoo: Careful there Mr. Scoo. I don't think your Captain there would like not getting his warp coil now would he?
Mel`Tra says:
::brings up his information::  CO:  Here, this is what you are looking for.  It appears there was this Romulan trader that came through here a few months back.
CTO_LtCmdr_Ec`Thel`Ion says:
CO: Neither are my people, but my clan is made of traders.  Trade is essential to planetary development.
CO_CDR_Q`tor says:
*CNS*: Very well.
CTO: First of all keep me posted and second where is this other shop that CNS McIntyre is at?
CO_CDR_Q`tor says:
Mel'Tra:  Give the information to my officers here.
CTO_LtCmdr_Ec`Thel`Ion says:
CO: Right next store.  I'll also try and gather some other items.  Local culture, and stuff from "home".
CO_CDR_Q`tor says:
OPS: ::indicates the ale:: Take it easy with that, you're still on duty.
CO_CDR_Q`tor says:
::turns to leave and find the Counselor::
OPS_Ens_Sahen says:
::grins:: CO: Yes sir.
Mel`Tra says:
::hands the CTO the information::
CTO_LtCmdr_Ec`Thel`Ion says:
Mel'Tra: Do you get these shipments often?
Mel`Tra says:
::takes the diamond::  CTO:  Hmmmm, this is a very interesting stone.
Bre`nal says:
CNS: Well, you going to deal or not?
CO_CDR_Q`tor says:
:: Sticks his head in the shop next door and shouts:: CNS: Counselor?
CNS-Cmdr-McIntyre says:
Bre`nal:  Patience is a virtue.  Here is my Captain now.
CNS-Cmdr-McIntyre says:
CO:  Back here...
CTO_LtCmdr_Ec`Thel`Ion says:
Mel'Tra: We thought so when we found them.  It was an...interesting world.
Mel`Tra says:
CTO:  Actually, I've only seen this person once, and that was a few months back.
CNS-Cmdr-McIntyre says:
~~~CO:  We are way in the back Captain.  I don't like this guy, be careful.~~~
CO_CDR_Q`tor says:
::Makes his way back to the Counselor and scowls down at the alien shopkeeper:: CNS:  What seems to be the problem?
CTO_LtCmdr_Ec`Thel`Ion says:
Mel'Tra: Ever seen anyone else like him?  Another of his people, or is he unique among your providers of trade?
CNS-Cmdr-McIntyre says:
CO:  It seems Bre`nal here thinks I am for trade, my body that is.  To add to that, he believes the blade I have is a fake.  I truly would like for you to show him how wrong he is on both counts.
Bre`nal says:
CO: Ah, you must be the Captain. :: holds out his hand :: Bre`nal, trader extraordinaire.
Host Mel`Tra says:
CTO:  I could probably trade you the coil thing for this, but you'll have to show me more if you want more.
CO_CDR_Q`tor says:
::takes the trader's hand and squeezes hard:: Bre'nal: the pleasure is all mine I assure you.
Bre`nal says:
CO: Captain, your lady here is mistaken. I only wish to please her and all your fine crew.
CTO_LtCmdr_Ec`Thel`Ion says:
::Smiles.::  Mel'Tra: Thanks, now we know we understand the language.
Mel`Tra says:
CTO:  He was the only one I came across.  I haven't seen him since.
CTO_LtCmdr_Ec`Thel`Ion says:
Mel'Tra: Any idea which way he went when he left?
CNS-Cmdr-McIntyre says:
::grinning at the Captain, and noticing that Scoo has not moved back, not one inch::
Bre`nal says:
:: squeezes the Captain's hand hard as well :: CO: Fine muscle tone Captain. Your species is a hardy one.
Mel`Tra says:
CTO:  No.  I don't ask 'em where they come from or where they go.
CTO_LtCmdr_Ec`Thel`Ion says:
OPS: When we're done here , we'd do well to contact planetary traffic control.
CO_CDR_Q`tor says:
Bre'nal: ::Still squeezing his hand:: Yes we are.  Now if you wish to trade with us, calling my Counselor a liar is not a very wise course of action.
Bre`nal says:
CO: A liar? No, no, Captain, mistaken perhaps.
