<<<<<<<<<<<< Begin Mission >>>>>>>>>>>>>

Host CO_CAPT_Q`tor says:
@FCO:  Standard docking procedures.

Host XO_Cmdr_Naug says:
@CO: I hate being pulled off a mission like that.

FCO_Lt_Bishara says:
@CO: Yes, Sir.

Starbase OPS Reinhart says:  
COM: USS Huron: This is Starbase 42.  We have you on approach, and you are ready to proceed with docking procedures.

FCO_Lt_Bishara says:
@::Begins the standard docking procedures.::

Host CO_CAPT_Q`tor says:
@XO: Guess Starfleet didn't want us going in after them, which I probably would have done.

OPS_Ens_Riley says:
::On Starbase 42.  It is the first day of his new career in Starfleet.  He has been assigned to the USS Huron and is on his way to the Operations Office to check in with them and await the arrival of his ship.::

CEO_Cmdr_Sparks says:
@::Finishes the repair report for the starbase engineers to complete.::

Host XO_Cmdr_Naug says:
@*CEO*:  Prepare ship to go to station power once we dock.

FCO_Lt_Bishara says:
@COM: Station OPS: This is USS Huron, Flight Control Officer Bishara, thank you.

CEO_Cmdr_Sparks says:
@*XO*: Aye, Commander.

FCO_Lt_Bishara says:
@*CEO*: You ready down there for docking?

Host XO_Cmdr_Naug says:
@CO: I know I would have enjoyed it myself.  But....... ::Shrugs.::

CEO_Cmdr_Sparks says:
@*FCO*: All set down here.

FCO_Lt_Bishara says:
@::Slides the Huron at 1/4 impulse power.::

Host CO_CAPT_Q`tor says:
@XO: Starfleet Command does have a way of taking all the fun out of situations.

FCO_Lt_Bishara says:
@CO: Ready to dock her, Sir.  1/4 impulse, Sir.

OPS_Ens_Riley says:
::Arrives in the Operations office on station and looks around for someone not busy to direct his inquires to.::

FCO_Lt_Bishara says:
@::Using the thrusters to gently maneuver her into her berth.::

Host CO_CAPT_Q`tor says:
@FCO:  Good.  As soon as the ship is secured, you're free to enjoy your shore leave.

Host XO_Cmdr_Naug says:
@CO:  Did you get the new crew manifest? We are getting a new Operations officer.

Operations Ms. Parker says: 
::Looks up from the front desk she is sitting at noticing the officer who just walked in.::  OPS Riley:  How may I help you, Ensign?

FCO_Lt_Bishara says:
@CO: Thrusters at station keeping, Sir.

FCO_Lt_Bishara says:
@*CEO*: She is all yours.  We are in place.  Ship is at station keeping now.

CEO_Cmdr_Sparks says:
@*FCO*: Acknowledged.

OPS_Ens_Riley says:
Parker: I am Ensign Benjamin Riley.  I was ordered to report here.  I've been assigned to the Huron.

FCO_Lt_Bishara says:
@::Watches the board and keeps the Huron in station keeping as the ship is docked firmly.::

CEO_Cmdr_Sparks says:
@::Begins the procedure for switching to station power.::

Host XO_Cmdr_Naug says:
@FCO: Please do not hit anything.

Host CO_CAPT_Q`tor says:
@XO:  Yes.  A terra'gnan.  Name of Roley or some such.

FCO_Lt_Bishara says:
@XO: How can I hit anything if we are at station keeping?

Operations Ms. Parker says: 
::Looks over her manifest, and looks for the name.::  Out loud:  Awhh, here we are .. Benjamin Riley, Operations Officer of the USS Huron.  You know, I think they just docked.  Let me check .. ::Checks the logs.::  Yes, they did.  I'll let the Captain know you are here, and find out where he would like you to report.

Host CO_CAPT_Q`tor says:
@FCO: Anything could happen, Lieutenant.

FCO_Lt_Bishara says:
@CO: I know.  That is why I am still using the thrusters, Sir.

FCO_Lt_Bishara says:
@::Taps the controls gently.::

OPS_Ens_Riley says:
Parker: Thank you.

Host XO_Cmdr_Naug says:
@FCO:  Thank you, Lieutenant.

OPS_Ens_Riley says:
::Looks around the office for lack of anything better to look at.::

Operations Ms. Parker says: 
COM: Huron:  This is Ms. Parker, from Station Operations.  I have an Ensign Riley that has been assigned to your vessel and is checking in with Operations.  Where would you like him to report?

CEO_Cmdr_Sparks says:
@::Monitors the docking viewer.::

Host XO_Cmdr_Naug says:
@CO:  Captain, sounds like the new recruit is ready to get started.

Host CO_CAPT_Q`tor says:
@COM: SB_OPS: This is Captain Q'tor. Have him report to me on board the Huron.

FCO_Lt_Bishara says:
@*CEO*: Can I shut down the thrusters now?

Host CO_CAPT_Q`tor says:
@::Grins.::  XO:  Should I give him a 'proper' welcome?

Operations Ms. Parker says: 
COM: Huron CO: You got it, Captain Q'tor.  Would you like him beamed directly to your bridge, or shall I send him to the transporter room?

Host XO_Cmdr_Naug says:
@::Laughing.::  CO:  Of course, Sir.

CEO_Cmdr_Sparks says:
@*FCO*: Waiting for station confirmation. Stand by.

FCO_Lt_Bishara says:
@*CEO*: Understood.

OPS_Ens_Riley says:
::Listens to Parker's side of the conversation.::

Host CO_CAPT_Q`tor says:
@::In his best grumpy voice.::  COM: SB_OPS:  I don't like to be kept waiting.  Have him beamed directly to the bridge.

Starbase OPS Reinhart says:  
COM: Huron:  This is Station Operations, confirming station power.  You are free to come aboard.

Host XO_Cmdr_Naug says:
@*Sam*:  You ready to head for the station.  We'll be finished here in a moment.

CEO_Cmdr_Sparks says:
@*FCO*:  Station docking confirmed, and we are on station power.

FCO_Lt_Bishara says:
@*CEO*: Understood shutting down thrusters now.

Host CO_CAPT_Q`tor says:
@XO:  Are you going to let her make you go shopping again?

Starbase OPS Reinhart says:  
COM: Huron CO:  Right away, Captain.  ::Looks up at Ens. Riley.::  

Starbase OPS Reinhart says:   
OPS:  If you will just step up on the transporter pad over there, I'll beam you to the Huron's bridge.

FCO_Lt_Bishara says:
@::Hands dance over the board shutting down the thrusters.::

Host XO_Cmdr_Naug says:
@*All Department heads*:  You are free to begin shore leave.  You all have the schedule.

@ACTION:  Sam does not answer the Executive Officer's comm.

Host XO_Cmdr_Naug says:
@CO:  I had hoped to get away from that.  Grrrrrr …

FCO_Lt_Bishara says:
@CO: Thrusters are shut down, Sir.  Closing and locking my helm station.

OPS_Ens_Riley says:
Parker: Thanks for everything.  ::Smiles at her and steps where directed.::

FCO_Lt_Bishara says:
@CO/XO: Permission to disembark?

CEO_Cmdr_Sparks says:
@::Finishes up her report and sends her inventory supply list to operations before heading to her quarters.::

FCO_Lt_Bishara says:
@::Is anxious to get off the ship for a while.::

@ACTION:  Ensign Riley is beamed to the Huron's bridge.

Host XO_Cmdr_Naug says:
@*Sam*:  Sam, you alright?

Host CO_CAPT_Q`tor says:
@FCO:  majqa' Lieutenant.  Permission granted.  Enjoy your shore leave.

@ACTION:  Still no response from Sam.

OPS_Ens_Riley says:
@::Rematerializes on bridge.::

Host XO_Cmdr_Naug says:
@Computer:  Locate Samantha Naug.

Computer says: 
@XO:  Samantha Naug is in her quarters.

FCO_Lt_Bishara says:
@CO: Thank you, Sir.

OPS_Ens_Riley says:
@::Looks around and spots the Klingon Captain.::

FCO_Lt_Bishara says:
@XO: Sir, can I help?

Host CO_CAPT_Q`tor says:
@XO:  Maybe you should go check on her.

Host XO_Cmdr_Naug says:
@*CEO*:  Commander, what is your location?

Host CO_CAPT_Q`tor says:
@::Notices the transported beam but pretends to ignore it.::

Host XO_Cmdr_Naug says:
@CO:  Thank you, Captain.

CEO_Cmdr_Sparks says:
@*XO*:  Heading for my quarters, Sir.  Is there something you need?

OPS_Ens_Riley says:
@::Approaches the Captain.:: CO: Sir? Ensign Benjamin Cooper Riley, reporting as ordered?

Host XO_Cmdr_Naug says:
@OPS:  Welcome aboard, Ensign.  If you will excuse me.

Host XO_Cmdr_Naug says:
@*CEO*:  Yes, would you go by my quarters and check on Sam?  I am getting no reply from her.  I'm just now leaving the bridge.

CEO_Cmdr_Sparks says:
@*XO*:  Of course, Sir.  On my way.

Host XO_Cmdr_Naug says:
@::Walks into the Turbolift.:: TL: My quarters.

FCO_Lt_Bishara says:
@::Shrugs and heads for the Turbolift.::

OPS_Ens_Riley says:
@XO: Yes, Sir. ::Watches him go.::

Host CO_CAPT_Q`tor says:
@::Looks at his new Ensign with mock scorn.:: OPS:  Ensign Benjamin Cooper Riley.   Fresh out of the Academy I take it.

OPS_Ens_Riley says:
@CO: Yes, Sir.

CEO_Cmdr_Sparks says:
@::Changes direction and heads for the Executive Officer's quarters.::

FCO_Lt_Bishara says:
@::The lift takes her to the appropriate deck where her quarters are.::

CEO_Cmdr_Sparks says:
@::Stops at the door and rings the chime.::

@ACTION:  There is no response to the chime.

CEO_Cmdr_Sparks says:
@::Hits the chime again and calls out.::  Sam:  Sam, it's Holly, are you alright?

Host CO_CAPT_Q`tor says:
@OPS:  Well that's just great!  I need experienced officers and Starfleet sends me puq <children>.  I suppose you're going to tell me that you graduated at the top of your class.

Host XO_Cmdr_Naug says:
@::The Turbolift stops on the right deck and he runs down the corridor.::

@ACTION:  Still no response to the chime.

CEO_Cmdr_Sparks says:
@::Sees the Executive Officer.:: XO: No response, Sir. Are you sure she's there?

CTO_Ec`Thel`Ion says:
@::Getting out of the Tactical Briefing, still trying to figure out how the questions should have been answered.::

Host XO_Cmdr_Naug says:
@::Stopping at the door.:: CEO: The computer said she was in there.  ::Touches the pad to open the door.::

OPS_Ens_Riley says:
@CO: No, Sir. I wasn't. But, I did alright, I suppose.  Are you disappointed because, I guess you could get someone else, you are the Captain.  You can do anything you want.

@ACTION:  As the door opens, Sam is lying on the floor in a fetal position, passed out.

Host XO_Cmdr_Naug says:
@SAM:   SAM!!!!!!!!  ::Runs to her.::

CEO_Cmdr_Sparks says:
@::Rushes inside to Sam and kneels down.::  Sam:  Sam!

Host XO_Cmdr_Naug says:
@*Sickbay*:  Medical emergency to Executive Officer's quarters,    NOW!!!!!!!!!!

CEO_Cmdr_Sparks says:
@::Feels for her pulse on her neck.:: XO: She's still breathing, Sir.

Samantha says:
@::Looks up with pain showing in her eyes.::  CEO:  I think it's time .. ::Holds her stomach.::

Host XO_Cmdr_Naug says:
@::Stands straight up.::  Sam:  NOW!!!!!!   What do I do?  ::Reaches down to pick her up.::

CTO_Ec`Thel`Ion says:
@::Heads to the Bridge to make sure everything is on schedule.::

OPS_Ens_Riley says:
@::The scary Klingon is being scary.::

Host CO_CAPT_Q`tor says:
@::Glares at his new Ensign.:: OPS:  Do I detect a note of sass in your voice, Ensign?

Medic Olivia says: 
@*XO*:  This is sickbay, we just shut everything down.  Beam her to the starbase infirmary.

OPS_Ens_Riley says:
@CO:  Gee, I hope not, Sir.

CEO_Cmdr_Sparks says:
@::Smiles, but puts a hand on Sam.::  Sam: Okay, you'll be fine soon.

Host XO_Cmdr_Naug says:
@*Bridge*:  Two to transport to station sickbay at once.   
CEO:  Meet us there, Commander.  Inform the Captain.

Samantha says:
@CEO:  Pain .. So much pain.

CEO_Cmdr_Sparks says:
@XO:  Aye sir, right away.

Host CO_CAPT_Q`tor says:
@::Keeps eyeing his new Operations Officer sizing him up.::  To Self:  Boy may have some spunk to him after all.

Operations Haley says: 
@CO:  Captain, getting a medical emergency in Executive Officer's quarters, requesting two to beam to Starbase Infirmary.

FCO_Lt_Bishara says:
@::Enters her quarters and Wild Wind greets her quickly.::

CEO_Cmdr_Sparks says:
@*CO*:  Captain, this is Commander Sparks. Commander Naug's wife is about to deliver their children. They are being transported to sickbay now.

Host XO_Cmdr_Naug says:
@Sam:  It's going to be alright.  Just hold on.

FCO_Lt_Bishara says:
@::Wonders where her beloved went.::

CTO_Ec`Thel`Ion says:
@::Arrives on the Bridge as the request for transport is received.::  Tac: Something I should know about, Ensign?  Er, guess not.

Host CO_CAPT_Q`tor says:
@Acting OPS:  Do it now!

OPS_Ens_Riley says:
@::Looks to Operations, and quiets himself so the Captain can hear something about an emergency.::

Host CO_CAPT_Q`tor says:
@*CEO*:  jIyaj.  I'm on my way.

@ACTION:  Operations Haley initiates the transporter beam and beams the Executive Officer and Samantha directly to the Starbase Infirmary, notifying the Infirmary of their arrival as well.

FCO_Lt_Bishara says:
@Wild Wind:  Come on.  Let’s go and see what we can buy on the station.

CEO_Cmdr_Sparks says:
@::Hurries towards sickbay herself.::

FCO_Lt_Bishara says:
::Wild Wind steps onto his shoulder pad and she heads out for the air lock.::

CTO_Ec`Thel`Ion says:
@CO:  Permission to accompany you?  I'll return and double check the security during docking when it all settles down.

Host XO_Cmdr_Naug says:
Doctor:  HELP!  She is having a baby ::pauses::  or two.

Host CO_CAPT_Q`tor says:
@OPS: I'm probably taking a big risk here, but if you can find your station, assume your duties.  Assign yourself some quarters, get settled, and you get to stand the first watch.

Host CO_CAPT_Q`tor says:
@CTO:  Granted.

OPS_Ens_Riley says:
@CO:  Aye, Sir. ::Thinks - Hmmm, saved by the baby.::

OPS_Ens_Riley says:
@CO: ... and thank you, Sir.

Doctor Gerber says: 
::Rushes to Samantha's side and helps her up onto a table, and taking scans.::  XO:  How far along is she?

Host CO_CAPT_Q`tor says:
@OPS:  You're first official duty is to beam myself and Commander Ec'Thel'Ion to the Starbase Infirmary.

CEO_Cmdr_Sparks says:
::Arrives at sickbay and enters, looking for the Commander.::

Host CO_CAPT_Q`tor says:
@OPS:  Do try to keep us separate from each other.

OPS_Ens_Riley says:
@CO:  Aye, Sir. ::Goes to Operations station.::

Host XO_Cmdr_Naug says:
@::Thinks.::  Doctor Gerber:  About 7 months.

CTO_Ec`Thel`Ion says:
@OPS:  Hi, welcome aboard.

Host XO_Cmdr_Naug says:
::Still holding her in his arms.::

FCO_Lt_Bishara says:
::Steps onto the promenade of the station and is greeted by a large gathering of children.::

OPS_Ens_Riley says:
@::Takes his chair and beams the two as ordered.::

FCO_Lt_Bishara says:
Self:  Oh no, not again.

FCO_Lt_Bishara says:
WildWind: Up!

FCO_Lt_Bishara says:
::Immediately he takes off for the air high above the children as his master slips away.::

Doctor Gerber says: 
::Immediately checks to see if she can stop the contractions.::  XO:  Well, looks like her water broke.  It's time to get her into the delivery room.  We need to get her prepped.  You are going to need to stay here until we get her stable.  ::Rushes off with Samantha on a table with some nurses.::

Host XO_Cmdr_Naug says:
Doctor Gerber: Stay!!!  Out of the question.  ::Runs along with him.::

FCO_Lt_Bishara says:
Self: I don't need this now.  Not again.  I want to be left alone for a change.  Having my companion gawked at is bugging me for each time I board a station.

FCO_Lt_Bishara says:
::Walks off in the direction of the clothing shop.::

OPS_Ens_Riley says:
@::Checks his work, glad to see he didn't atomize the Captain on his first day.::

Doctor Gerber says: 
XO:  I'm assuming you're daddy, and if you value her life, you will stay and let us do our job.  The babies are breach.  That means she could die if I do not get her into the operating room.

CEO_Cmdr_Sparks says:
::Sees the Commander and walks over.::  XO: What's happening, Sir?

FCO_Lt_Bishara says:
::WildWind is flying in lazy circles watching his master as she walks the promenade.::

ACTION:  The Captain and Ec are beamed to the station infirmary.

Host XO_Cmdr_Naug says:
Self:  GRRRRR   ::Turns from them leaving and goes over to the Chief Engineering Officer.  
CEO:  She is breached and she needs to be stabilized first.

CTO_Ec`Thel`Ion says:
::Materializes and looks around.::  CO: Hadn't spoken to the Commander about it, this about the right time?

FCO_Lt_Bishara says:
::Looks up and motions for Wild Wind to land, and he does quickly and she enters the shop quickly.::

Host XO_Cmdr_Naug says:
CO/CTO: Glad to see you two here.  They just took her in.

OPS_Ens_Riley says:
@::Thinks - I guess that must be one popular baby.  Heck, he got the Captain off my back while I can casually get to make this chair my own so, I love the kid already.::

CEO_Cmdr_Sparks says:
XO: I see. I'm sure the doctors here have dealt with this before.  Sam's in good hands.

Host CO_CAPT_Q`tor says:
::Seeks out his Executive Officer.:: CTO: For a Klingon child, but from what I understand one of the twins is more Humangnan.

Host CO_CAPT_Q`tor says:
XO: How is she?

OPS_Ens_Riley says:
@::Begins to get a handle on his station.::

CTO_Ec`Thel`Ion says:
CEO/ XO: Everythi...  ::Stops as the Captain just asked, then smiles at the Chief Engineering Officer.::

Host XO_Cmdr_Naug says:
CO:  I don't know, the doctor says Sam isn't doing good.  
Out loud:  quyvatlh.  I hate just standing here.

CEO_Cmdr_Sparks says:
::Moves closer to Icky.:: CTO: He's a bit nervous.  ::Indicates the Executive Officer.::

OPS_Ens_Riley says:
@::First order of business, finding myself some quarters and getting my stuff on board.  Pushes spots on his console and makes a couple of COMs.::

CTO_Ec`Thel`Ion says:
CEO: What happened?  Got out of the security briefing and heard about the transport.

Host XO_Cmdr_Naug says:
::Pacing back and forth.::  CO:  And I need to bite it   GRRRRRRRRRRR.

FCO_Lt_Bishara says:
::Walks into the clothing shop.::

Host CO_CAPT_Q`tor says:
XO:  I'm sure she'll be alright.  ::Pulls his Daq'taH and hands it, hilt first to his Executive Officer.::  Bite this.

CEO_Cmdr_Sparks says:
CTO:  Sam didn't answer the com and Toir got me to check on her. She was on the floor and couldn't respond, so the minute Toir arrived and opened the door, we knew Sam was having the babies.

Host XO_Cmdr_Naug says:
::Looks at the knife.::  CO:  That is not what I meant.  The cord.  I will bite the cord of my children.  

CEO_Cmdr_Sparks says:
CTO: That's when we called for the transport.

Host CO_CAPT_Q`tor says:
XO:  You do have a barrel of blood wine standing by?

Manager says: 
Out loud:  Whoa, you can't bring that in here!  ::Points to the bird on her shoulder.::

Host XO_Cmdr_Naug says:
CO:  Of course.  Yes, I do.  Can you have that new Operations Officer get it ready.  ::Grinning.::  You know were it's at.

FCO_Lt_Bishara says:
::Looks at the manager.:: Manager: I can bring my bird in here any time I feel like it, Sir.  This is a Federation Starbase and I am a Federation officer.  Now I would like to buy some clothing please.

CTO_Ec`Thel`Ion says:
CEO:  Guess the "welcome" could have been less interesting, huh?

Host CO_CAPT_Q`tor says:
XO:  I'll take care of it.

Doctor Gerber says:
::Walks out from the back room toward the Executive Officer.::  XO:  You are the father?

Manager says: 
Out loud:  And just who in the name of heaven are you to speak to me like that?

Host XO_Cmdr_Naug says:
::Looks up.::  Doctor Gerber: Yes, she hasn't delivered yet, has she?

Host CO_CAPT_Q`tor says:
*OPS*:  Ensign Riley, this is Captain Q'tor.  Get out of my chair.

FCO_Lt_Bishara says:
::WildWind squawks loudly.::

OPS_Mildred Pierce says: 
@OPS: So, did you need anything before I go?  ::Said kind of coldly.::

Doctor Gerber says:
XO:  No, but she's about to.  Would you like to come with me?  She's stable now.

CEO_Cmdr_Sparks says:
::Chuckles.:: CTO: Nothing like a new arrival to start shore leave.

CTO_Ec`Thel`Ion says:
CO: Hey, you left him the Bridge, Sir.  That includes the chair.

OPS_Ens_Riley says:
@*CO*: Sir? Good heavens, Sir, I'd never, ever be in your chair, Sir!

Host XO_Cmdr_Naug says:
Doctor Gerber: Yes, what are you waiting for?  kahless to come and do it for you.  Let’s move.

Host CO_CAPT_Q`tor says:
::Grins.::  CTO:  Let me have my fun, Commander, and that's an order.

CEO_Cmdr_Sparks says:
CTO:  By the way, did you check on Jessie before coming here?  I was just about to head to our quarters when the excited father caught me.

Doctor Gerber says:
XO:  This way, then.  Let's not keep her waiting.  ::Heads back into the delivery room.::

CTO_Ec`Thel`Ion says:
CO:  If you say so, Sir.  Just trying to keep the poor guy from having a heart attack.

Host CO_CAPT_Q`tor says:
*OPS*:  Don't lie.  Everyone sits in my chair the first chance they get.  I have an extremely important task for you.

Host XO_Cmdr_Naug says:
::Turns to the others.::  ALL:  As the humans say ::pumping his arm::  YES!!  ::Goes with the doctor.::

CTO_Ec`Thel`Ion says:
CEO:  No, but I'll head back over there.  Have to go back to check our security at the boarding ports anyway.

FCO_Lt_Bishara says:
Manager: My name is Lieutenant T'Lar Sonri Bishara and I am the Flight Control Officer of the USS Huron, and if I were you I would shut your mouth and allow me to shop or I will let the entire population of the station know what a cheat you are.  ::Picks a sweater out.::  This is too much for this sweater.  It only costs half that at another shop.

OPS_Ens_Riley says:
@OPS_Pierce:  Umm, you mad at me for something?  Hang on...

FCO_Lt_Bishara says:
::The shop manager stands there in shock.::

CEO_Cmdr_Sparks says:
CTO: Okay, and tell her I'm sorry I was delayed.

OPS_Ens_Riley says:
@*CO*:  Sir, I'm not lying, umm, yes, Sir? A task?

CTO_Ec`Thel`Ion says:
CEO: Of course.  She understands; it comes with the uniform.  Should I bring her back here?  Are you staying to see this through?

Host CO_CAPT_Q`tor says:
*OPS*:  In the ship’s lounge, behind the bar, there is an access panel.  Behind that panel is a barrel marked with Commander Toir's House crest.  Retrieve it and have it beamed directly to my location.

Host CO_CAPT_Q`tor says:
*OPS*:  And Hurry!

OPS_Ens_Riley says:
@*CO*: Sir? Umm, yes, Sir. Right away.

OPS_Ens_Riley says:
@::Notes Captain's location.::

CMO_LtJg_Stradiot says:
::Runs into the clothing store and sees T'lar.:: T'lar: Well, fancy seeing you here.

OPS_Ens_Riley says:
@OPS_Pierce: I just got a chill from you is all.  Let me guess, you don't think I should have gotten the head Operations spot? You know others more deserving, perhaps even yourself?

OPS Mildred Pierce says: 
@::Doesn't respond but, doesn't deny anything.::

FCO_Lt_Bishara says:
::Turns and sees her beloved.::

OPS_Ens_Riley says:
@OPS_Pierce:  Look, I didn't give myself this assignment. I'm not sure how I got this choice hook up either but, it happened and I'm going to do my best. I'd hoped we could all be friends? I'm going to need all my team’s support if I'm going to do my job well.

OPS_Mildred Pierce says:
@::Softens up a bit.:: OPS:  We’ll, see how it goes, no promises.

CEO_Cmdr_Sparks says:
CTO: See if Commander Kendel can watch her for a while. I think Toir is going to need some hand holding for a while.

OPS_Ens_Riley says:
@OPS_Pierce: Great, can you watch the COM while I go fetch for the Captain?

OPS_Ens_Riley says:
@::Watches her nod her agreement and gives her the chair.  Exits bridge for Turbolift.::

CTO_Ec`Thel`Ion says:
CEO:  Okay, if not I'll find someone.  Lots of people we can trust, some even with this.  I'll be back ASAP.

OPS_Ens_Riley says:
@::Finds the lounge and the funny barrel and arranges to send it along to the Captain's location, as ordered.::

OPS_Ens_Riley says:
@*CO*: Captain, Sir, the barrel is arriving at your location now, Sir.

ACTION:  Operations beams the barrel to the Captain's location, and approximately 15 minutes later, the Executive Officer walks out to the others with two small bundles in his arms.

FCO_Lt_Bishara says:
::Walks with William into the waiting room just in time.::

CEO_Cmdr_Sparks says:
::Smiles as she sees the Executive Officer return.:: XO: Well I see the newest cadets have arrived, Sir.

Host XO_Cmdr_Naug says:
::Holding each child up one in each hand.::  ALL:  We have a healthy boy and girl.  Time to celebrate.  Where is the blood wine?

FCO_Lt_Bishara says:
XO: Congratulations, Sir.

Talora says: 
::Walking just with T'lar and William.:: XO: Aww, congrats! ::Runs up and gives him a huge hug.::

CTO_Ec`Thel`Ion says:
::Rushes back, with a bag half falling off the shoulder.::  CEO: Did I make it?

Host XO_Cmdr_Naug says:
::Holds out the little ones to the Captain.::   CO: Sir if you would grace them, in the true Klingon manner.

FCO_Lt_Bishara says:
CMO: This is a day to remember.

CEO_Cmdr_Sparks says:
::Points.:: CTO: See for yourself.

Host CO_CAPT_Q`tor says:
::Has a mug ready for Toir and hands it over.::  ALL: To the newest members of the Huron crew.  Um.... XO: What are their names?

T’vis says: 
::Reaches up and grabs the Captain’s goatee with his little hand.::

FCO_Lt_Bishara says:
::Wild Wind opens one sleepy eye and looks and then shuts it and goes back to sleep.::

FCO_Lt_Bishara says:
::Is holding her Imzadi's hand tightly.::

Host XO_Cmdr_Naug says:
::Takes the mug while holding them in one arm.::  All: I present you   T'vis  ::the boy::  Braylin  :: the girl.::

Talora says:
::Jumps up and down in joy.:: XO: Such sweet names!

CTO_Ec`Thel`Ion says:
CEO: Hope they like stuffed Targs.  Still not sure if the pink one looks right, but hey, whatever works.

Host CO_CAPT_Q`tor says:
::Laughs and holds up his mug.::  ALL: The newest members of the Huron crew, the warrior T'vis, and his be'nI' <sister> Braylin!

CEO_Cmdr_Sparks says:
CTO: Children just like things to cuddle, Icky.  ::Smiles and takes his arm.::

CTO_Ec`Thel`Ion says:
::Raises the mug.::  CEO: Hope we don't have to drain the mugs.  That stuff is just so bland.  Room Temperature, yech.

Host XO_Cmdr_Naug says:
::Hands Braylin to Q'tor and downs his mug.::

CMO_LtJg_Stradiot says:
::Grins broadly.:: T'lar: Quite right....Oh, dear, should we ask the captain now while he's here and in a good mood?

FCO_Lt_Bishara says:
CMO: Yes, my Imzadi.  It would be appropriate.

CMO_LtJg_Stradiot says:
::Smiles.:: CO: Captain, T'lar and I have a request of you.

FCO_Lt_Bishara says:
CO: Sir.... William and I would like it if you would officiate our wedding.

FCO_Lt_Bishara says:
CO: Sir I guess you were so happy you didn't hear me.  We would like you to officiate our wedding.

FCO_Lt_Bishara says:
::Waits for the Captain's answer.::

CMO_LtJg_Stradiot says:
::Grins.:: T'lar: Be nice, dear.

FCO_Lt_Bishara says:
CMO: I am trying my love.

Host CO_CAPT_Q`tor says:
::After he downs his blood wine he stops and looks at his Flight Control Officer.::  FCO: Wedding?  When is this supposed to take place?

FCO_Lt_Bishara says:
CO: Well, Sir we were planning it in two weeks.

CMO_LtJg_Stradiot says:
::Smiles brightly.:: CO: Soon.

FCO_Lt_Bishara says:
CMO: Very soon.

Host CO_CAPT_Q`tor says:
::Pulls his Flight Control Officer aside and whispers.::  Congratulations Lieutenant, but you couldn't wait 30 minutes to ask me this?

Mission Prologue:  

Last time on the Qa'rol …

Captain Q’tor met with several crew members and the Captains of the tar, veS, and D’deridex to explain his true intentions of the plot to retake Earth.  Once inside the room, Grenthar from the D’deridex turned on Talora, who claimed to be the Captain of the D’deridex.  Talora’s life was saved by the medical expertise of Benjamin Riley, a human slave that luckily had the medical talents to save her life.  

Captain Q’tor still has a lot of explaining to do to convince his crew that his plan to retake Earth is in everyone’s best interest.  But some of the crew has been whispering amongst themselves.  Will they go along with the plot that Q’tor has, or will there be a mutiny onboard?

<<<<<<<<<<<< Resume Mission >>>>>>>>>>>>>

ACTION:  Samantha is able to break through the jamming for a short period, long enough to get the message through that Toir intended to send.

Samantha says:
@Toir: Commander Toir, I have secured a coded line directly to the personal communicator of the individual you requested.  Would you like me to send that transmission now?  ::Prepares to send the transmission at his request.::

OPS Keth, House of Toragh says:
*CO*:  Captain, I wanted to make you aware that Commander Toir has beamed back to the tar.  Would you like me to continue jamming communications?  

Talora says:
::Slowly stirs on her bed in sickbay. Quietly murmurs...:: Anyone: Where am I...?
 
Host Q`torHoD says:
::About to enter sickbay.:: *OPS*:  Until I say otherwise, I want a complete communications blanket.  Short range communications for the immediate vicinity only!

Cardassian Medic Parmak says:
::Walks over to Talora, and gently pats her on the hand.::  Talora:  There, there, missy.  You took quite a wound to the chest.  You have that human friend of yours to thank for your life.  What’s his name?  Ken?  ::Thinks.::  No, Ben .. Yeah, that’s it.  Ben.   
 
Talora says:
::Shoots up in her bed earning her a huge dizzy spell and a large amount of pain.:: Medic Parmak: Where's Ben? Where's Grenthar? What happened? Tell me! ::A single tear runs down her face and she quickly wipes it away.::

Cmdr_Toir says:
@::Walks over to Sam and hands her a padd.::  Sam: Send this and make sure the transmission can not be traced back to us. But if it is, you know nothing.  ::Turns and goes back to his chair thinking.::

XO Cmdr Mo’rak says:
::Watching over the bridge functions awaiting Q’tor’s next move, hopefully taking the human ship to add our fleet.::

Ec`Tur`Am`Bar says:
::At a Computer console, ensuring that the blackout ordered by the Captain is hard and complete.::  Self: What is he thinking?  If Gowron gets even a whisper of this, we’re all dead.
 
ACTION:  Samantha sends the encoded transmission to Ec’s personal communicator.

Samantha says:
@::Keeping her fingers crossed that the transmission is not traced back to them.:: 

OPS Keth, House of Toragh says:
*CO*:  Yes, my Lord.  Communications blanket being set, with short range communications for the immediate area.  ::Re-initiates the jamming sequence.:: 

Ben says:
::The slave Ben has been shot in the chest with a disrupter, he lies dead on the floor in a corner of Sickbay, with a weapon in his hand.::
 
Host Q`torHoD says:
::Enters the sickbay and looks around only to see the dead body of Ben on the floor.::  Parmak:  What happened here?   ::Really angry now.:: 

Talora says:
::Looks around and sees the dead body of Ben and gives a huge scream.:: Self: No...Ben...::Tears rolling down her face.::

Ec`Tur`Am`Bar says:
::Realizes that the Captain slipped off the Bridge.  Shuts down station and rushes after him, arriving too late to see what had happened.::

Cardassian Medic Parmak says:
::Turns around and realizes there is a body in the corner where they are pointing to.  The low lighting in sickbay and the shadows were hiding the body.  Runs a scanner over the dead body to assure the boy is dead.  Then puts on a pair of rubber gloves, and walks over to the dead body taking the disrupter out of the slave’s hand and placing it in a forensic examination’s bag.::  CO:  From the looks of things, he shot himself, my Lord.  I actually just came on duty.  ::Motions for two other medics to take the boy into the back for autopsy.::  I won’t know for sure until I examine the wound and the body.  Depth, intensity, and angle of impact will determine if the shot was self-inflicted.  I would say that the time of death was just recent because the body is still relatively warm.

Cardassian Medic Parmak says:
Talora:  I’m sorry you had to see that, my dear.  The low lighting made it difficult to see the body in the corner.  

Cardassian Medic Parmak says:
::Turns his attention to Ec’Tur’Am’Bar.::  Ec’Tur’Am’Bar:  Curious though, wouldn’t the disrupter discharge set off security alarms?

Samantha says:
@Toir:  Message has been sent and should have been received.  ::Pauses.::  Now .. we wait.  ::Begins to erase all records of the message being sent.::

Talora says:
::Watches as the body is carried away:: Self: Why would he...Ben...::Shakes her head trying to compose herself, and forces herself out of the bed stumbling as she went, she managed to lead up against the nearby wall.:: Self: Ouch...that's going to leave a scar...::Rubbing the scar on her chest:: Q'tor: I live and shall be fine.  Where is Grenthor? I'm going to kill him myself.

Host Q`torHoD says:
::Pulls an ear from his vest and tosses it to Talora.:: Talora:  Too late.

Cmdr_Toir says:
@Sam: Yes, we wait.

XO Cmdr Mo’rak says:
::Reaching sickbay to see what in the world is going on just in time to here the medic report to Q’tor.::   Q’tor:  The death of a slave is of no concern, my Lord, especially if he killed himself.  We need to deal with the Human vessel.  We should not delay.

Host Q`torHoD says:
Mo'rak:  I am not delaying, and I am dealing with the vessel!

ACTION:  Samantha erases any records of the transmission she sent to Ec’s communicator.

Samantha says:
@::Nods to Toir, and continues to monitor the Operations Console.  Wonders how Ben and Talora are doing, and wishes she could speak with them.::

Cardassian Medic Parmak says:
::Assists Talora in standing up straight.::  Talora:  I know you think you are okay, young missy, but I still need to run some final scans on you before you leave here.  ::Looks at Captain Q’tor.::  And I’m sure my Lord has a few questions to ask you as well.  ::Guides her back to the biobed.::

William Stradiot/tar FCO says:
::Manages to stand back up and sits in his chair again, gasping for breath.::
 
Talora says:
::Laying gently down on the biobed looks over to the Captain.:: Q'tor: You have questions, Q'tor?

Host Q`torHoD says:
Talora:  You claim command of that warbird, and that you are here to assist me in my plans.  Very well, I am willing to accept your word.  But at what price?

Talora says:
Q'tor: Price? I'm not here to make deals and bargains. I'm here to get things done. The Brotherhood is very powerful, Captain. And, being who I am, I can easily get you ships. We have one other warbird, some Klingon Vessels and such, and all of them would only be an asset to you and your plans. I wouldn't reject this golden opportunity. The only term I ask, is that the Romulans don't get involved with this. Even though we have stolen warbirds, we're trying to avoid a war with them ourselves. 

XO Cmdr Mo’rak says:
Q’tor: The last thing we need is the Romulans showing up looking for their ships.

Host Q`torHoD says:
Mo'rak:  I agree, so we need to decide our actions quickly.

Host Q`torHoD says:
Talora:  To involve the romuluSgnan would only weaken the Alliance.  Contrary to what some may think of my actions, that is not my intent at all.  So, your term is acceptable.  Contact your ship.  We leave for the Sol system as soon you are ready.
                
Host Q`torHoD says:
Parmak:  I do not believe for one minute that the slave, Ben, killed himself.  He had no reason to.  When you discover the truth inform me immediately.
 
Talora says:
Q'tor:  Well, as soon as I'm out of your sickbay and this doctor allows me to leave, I can have the Lys'dwayna ready within the hour. Now, my question. Where is Grenthar.  He has some explaining to do and a death wish from me.
 
Host Q`torHoD says:
::Indicating the bloody ear lying close by to her side::  Talora:  Your wish has been granted.
 
Talora says:
::Gives a grim nod.:: Q'tor: Thank you, Q'tor. Grenthar was a close friend of mine...there were hints of a possible rebellion on my own ship, but Grenthar had it all under control and was handling it much like a Klingon would. Kill first, ask questions later. It’s hard to believe that he would betray me himself. ::Picks up the ear and rips it in half.:: 

Talora says:
Torn Ear:  May you forever burn in the firey pits where you rest. ::Looks up to Q'tor and the Medic with the biggest smile on her face.:: Q'tor/Medic: So, when can I leave?

Cardassian Medic Parmak says:
Q’tor:  I will get right on that and do that work myself to make sure it is done correctly, my Lord.  I’ll have the results within the hour.  

Cardassian Medic Parmak says:
::Runs a medical tricorder over Talora, assuring she is medically fit to leave.::  Talora:  Aside from your blood pressure and heart rate being slightly increased, I would say that your friend did a better job than I think I could have.  The vitals will return to normal within the next few days.  ::Gives her a hypo to lower the vitals slightly.::  You may feel a little tired and sore, but for the most part you are free to go about your business.   

Host Q`torHoD says:
Talora:  Then I will leave you to prepare yourself.  We will leave as soon as you are ready.

Host Q`torHoD says:
Mo'rak/Ec:  Come with me.  I would have a word with you.  ::Turns to leave the medical bay.::

XO Cmdr Mo’rak says:
Q’tor: Yes sir.  ::Follows behind Q’tor walking beside Ec.:: 

XO Cmdr Mo’rak says:
::Whispers to Ec.::  EC: We might be joining forces with the humans, I still don’t trust them.

Cmdr_Toir says:
@::Setting in the chair.::  Sam: Watch all communications, I want to know what’s going on.  
                    
Cmdr_Toir says:
@Gorlin: Be ready. 
 
Host Q`torHoD says:
::Turns in the corridor and faces Mo'rak and Ec.::  Mo'rak/Ec:  Neither of you were supposed to know of my plan this soon.  Now that you do, I can see it in your eyes, that you think I'm maw' <crazy> to go against Gowron this way, but I tell you, he will be the ruin of the Alliance. Should my plan prove successful, I have the pledge from many on the High Council that they will openly join my House in forcing Gowron to step down.  I have support among many Cardassians, including several high ranking members of the Obsidian Order.  Talora's ship is more of a blessing to my plans than you can imagine.  I had planned on holding our ships back until I knew for certain that they would decide the battle one way or the other.  Now we can send in the Brotherhood vessels before entering ourselves.  If I become convinced that the Rebel forces will win with our help, then we will join them.  If it appears that they cannot win, even with our help, then we move in and crush them, saving the day by dealing a crippling blow to the Rebellion. 

XO Cmdr Mo’rak says:
Q’tor: What I think of your plan is unimportant. We have known each for far too long. If I can’t trust in you now, then we never had a chance to begin with. I do trust you and will see this done to the end, no matter what. One way or the other, all I see is a glorious victory. And that is more than most can promise.  ::Places his hand on Q’tor’s shoulder.::  I would gladly die for you if need be, my friend.

Samantha says:
@Toir:   The Qa'rol has initiated a complete communications blanket, however short range communications are still active for our immediate area.  

Cardassian Medic Parmak says:
Talora:  I’ll get you some fresh clothing.  ::Walks to a wardrobe and brings out appropriate fitting clothing for Talora and places them on the biobed next to her.::  I’ll give you some privacy so that you can get dressed.  Let me know if you need anything.  ::Gives her a nod, and closes a curtain around the biobed area.::

Ec`Tur`Am`Bar says:
Q’Tor: At this point, it’s too late to worry about it.  We’re officially pacing the ice now, seeing if it’ll hold our weight long enough for us to reach the goal.  All or nothing now.  This changes nothing for me.  I keep you alive, I keep getting paid.  This just adds to the “don’t trust” list, but that was already pretty long.

Talora says:
::Nods her thanks before quickly changing into the new clothes.:: Medic: Thank you.  ::Giving a slight bow, left sickbay quickly for the transporter room.::

Cmdr_Toir says:
@Gorlin: Send the package on my mark. Raise shields when it’s gone and begin the run.

Cmdr_Toir says:
@Sam: Start jamming all comms , but first send this message out  to this location.  “Start the run”

ACTION:  Sam sends the message to “Start the run” and immediately an Alliance Battle Cruiser is in the area alters course for the tar’s location.  She then begins jamming all communications.  

Samantha says:
Toir:  Message sent.  Only one of the Alliance vessels is being detected altering course.  I believe there could be an issue with the Qa’rol jamming my signal.  Looks like that battle cruiser is all we’re going to get. 

Gorlin says:
@Toir: Package is ready, Sir.

Cmdr_Toir says:
@Gorlin: Send it now.

ACTION:  A package of explosives is beamed aboard the veS’s main engineering, taking out weapons, shields, and engines.  The Alliance Battle Cruiser raises shields and arms weapons.  It is on a direct heading for the Qa’rol.

ACTION:  The tar raises shields and begins an attack run on the Qa’rol, taking shields on the Qa’rol down to 60%.

Talora says:
::Feels the rocking of the Qa'rol.:: *XO Tisht*: What is going on?
 
XO Tisht says:
$*Talora*: The tar has fired upon the Qa'rol. The veS looks to have taken some damage as well. We've got an Alliance Battle Cruiser closing.
 
Talora says:
::Swears loudly and quickly goes into the transporter room.:: Transporter Chief: Do we have enough power to get me to my vessel?

Transporter Chief says:
::His hands flying all over the console and looks up to see the slave girl.:: Talora: You ain’t going anywhere.
 
Talora says:
::Pulls out the phaser that Ben had with him when she woke up and points it at him.:: Transporter Chief: You WILL get me on my ship.

Transporter Chief says:
::Nods slightly and transports her to the Lys'Dwayna.::
 
Talora says:
$::Rushes up to the bridge.:: TO: Shields! Arm the weapons. 

Talora says:
$OPS: Try contacting the Qa'rol.

Ec`Tur`Am`Bar says:
::As the ship rocks from the initial impact, his thoughts quickly jump to the immediate and off of the long term problems, even if they may be related.::  Q’Tor: No matter what you’re planning, it may have started.  We either need to get to the Bridge or get you off the ship and out of danger.  And I know the second isn’t going to happen.

Host Q`torHoD says:
::Rushing onto the bridge.::  TO: ja' ya'! <Tactical Officer report!>

Qa’rol TO says:
Q'torHoD:  It's the tar joHwI'.  Commander Toir has managed to cripple the veS and has started an attack on us.  Shields are at 60%. And there is an Alliance Battle cruiser on an intercept course; sensors show her weapons are armed.
 
Host Q`torHoD says:
TO:  Bring all weapons to bear on the tar, target the engines.  ::Starts pushing buttons on his command console.::  Computer:  De'wI' <computer> begin interface with De'wI' tar. Shut down all weapons and lower their shields.  Authorization Q'tor Hut, Hut, wej, Qaveq, Hut, Soch, DaH <Command codes> - Initiate!

Samantha says:
@Toir: Someone is attempting to shut down all weapons and lower our shields.  Attempting to block the interface .. 

@ACTION:  The tar’s weapons and shields go offline.   

Samantha says:
@Toir:  Weapons and shields are offline.  We are dead in the water.  You need to find a way to get weapons and shields back online or we will not stand a chance.  Either that, or we run, but I’m guessing that’s not the Klingon way.  The Alliance Battle Cruiser is on an intercept course for the Qa’rol.  

Host Q`torHoD says:
XO:  Mo’rak, your son has just signed his own execution order!
                  
Host Q`torHoD says:
OPS:  Target that incoming cruiser.  I want a concentrated jamming signal directed at it.  Use the Rebel jamming frequencies in rotation.

Ec`Tur`Am`Bar says:
::Noting everyone on the Bridge is in there proper position, moves towards the Tactical station to ensure the brute on duty actually earned his post with skill at it, rather than skill at killing his superior.::

Talora says:
$TO: Fire phasers and disrupters at the Alliance Battle Cruiser. We'll leave the tar to Q'tor.

ACTION:  The incoming battle cruiser has shields raised, weapons ready, and makes a run toward the Qa’rol discharging 2 photon torpedoes at the Qa’rol.  Shields are now down to 20%, targeting systems are offline.  Just as they release the photon torpedoes, phasers and disrupters from the D’deridex fire on the Alliance Battle Cruiser taking her shields down to 70%.  The Alliance Battle Cruiser continues her assault on the Qa’rol.  
 
Samantha says:
@Toir:  The Qa’rol’s shields are down to 20%, the battle cruiser’s shields down to 70%.  Looks like your blue beetle friend turned down your offer.

D’deridex TO says:
$Talora: Yes, Ma'am,

Talora says:
$::Smiles sitting in her chair.:: Self: It’s good to be back,

XO Cmdr Mo’rak says:
CEO: If you still have that boarding party ready, have them prepared for transport over to the tar.

ACTION:  The CEO prepares for a boarding party to the tar.

XO Cmdr Mo’rak says:
CO: Then let me be that executioner.  ::Saying with a hateful tone.::  How dare him go against his house.  Let me lead the team personally.  He will die by my hands; that I promise. With the shields down, I can take it back by force.

Host Q`torHoD says:
XO: Bring him before me.

Cmdr_Toir says:
@All: WHAT!!!  Get them back on.   ::Turns to Gorlin.:: Gorlin: Why didn’t you think of covering that?!

Cmdr_Toir says:
@Out Loud:  AHHHHHHHH, ::Slams his fist on the console in front of him.::  

Cmdr_Toir says:
@SAM: Contact the alliance ship.  Have them prepare to transport the bridge crew off our ship.

Samantha says:
@::Nods to Toir, and attempts to send the signal to the Alliance vessel.::

ACTION:  Samantha’s attempts to contact the Alliance vessel fail.  The Qa’rol is jamming the signal, as previously noted.

Samantha says:
@Toir:  The Qa’rol is jamming our signal to the Alliance Vessel.  I can not get a message through to them.  You need to bring down the Qa’rol’s jamming defenses.

Cmdr_Toir says:
@FCO:  Turn her about, and prepare for ramming speed.

Talora says:
TO: We need to cripple their shields. Fire Photon Torpedoes!

ACTION:  Talora’s vessel, the D’deridex, fires photon torpedoes on the Alliance Vessel bringing shields down to 60%.   The Alliance Vessel returns fire on the D’deridex’s weapons and shields, taking shields down to 85%.  
 
Host Q`torHoD says:
TO:  Fire on the tar's engines.
 
Qa’rol TO says:
CO: joHwI', targeting systems are offline. Targeting engines manually.  ::Fires disruptors at the tar's unprotected engines.::

ACTION:  The tar Flight Control Officer initiates evasive maneuvers and the disruptor fire misses the tar completely.
 
Host Q`torHoD says:
Helm:  Evasive maneuvers!

Host Q`torHoD says:
XO: You bring that HaDI'baH to me, so that I can watch him die!

D’deridex TO says:
$Talora: Battle Cruiser shields to 60% Ma'am.  tar shields are down.
 
Talora says:
$::Stands up.:: TO:  tar shields are down? Tactical! Target the tar's engines. Make it immobile. 

Talora says:
$XO: Put together a boarding party. You’re going over to the tar to apprehend them. Make sure you have full battle gear. 

Talora says:
$TO:  FIRE!

ACTION:  The D’deridex launches 2 more photon torpedoes at the tar which is headed for the Qa’rol.  The tar initiates evasive maneuvers and the photon torpedoes continue on their path toward the Qa’rol.

Mo’brIHoD says:
#::Angry and bleeding finally gets some power to her engines.:: All: Today is a good day to die.

Mo’brIHoD says:
#OPS: Com the Qa'rol and tell her that I give my life to serve my lord.  Qa'apla.
                    
Mo’brIHoD says:
#FCO: Turn the veS into the path of the incoming torpedoes.
                    
Mo’brIHoD says:
#COM: veS to Qa'rol: Mo'BriHoD says to tell the captain that today is a good day to die.

#ACTION:  The helm of the veS does not respond.

CEO K’EKtar says:
Q'tor: Sir, my boarding party is ready for deployment.  It seems that Mo'BriHoD was correct when she said that the real traitor was in the room.

veS TO says:
#::Continues to manually target the tar and fires disruptors.::

Host Q`torHoD says:
Helm:  Bring the ship around, bring the main disruptor canon to bear on that battle cruiser.

Host Q`torHoD says:
CEO: Let Mo'rak lead the boarding party, I need you to repair the targeting scanners, and get more power to the shields.

Ec`Tur`Am`Bar says:
::Sees the Tactical Officer performing competently, especially with his compensating for the lack of targeting systems.  Then notices a message stored in the system, and takes a minute to read it.::  Self: Too late, I suppose.  Now whether I wanted to or not, I’m in all or nothing.  May they find their way if it’s nothing.  ::Steps closer to Q’Tor, looking to keep everyone away from him.::

ACTION:  The photon torpedoes slam into the Qa’rol with fury rocking and jolting the vessel.  Sparks and fire ignite the tactical console that the tactical officer previously manned.  His body was thrown over the console and lies limp.

Talora says:
$::Furious.:: TO: You want to explain to me what just happened?

D’deridex TO says:
$::Pulls out a phaser and points it at Talora.:: Talora: This is happening.

Grenthor says:
$::The REAL Grenthor topples onto the bridge with a phaser and fires it directly at the TO.::

D’deridex TO says:
$::Quickly fires at Talora and misses her completely. Falls to the floor dead.::

Talora says:
$::Rage building to a point of no return.:: All: That's it. I am your Captain whether you like it or not. When this is over, I will interrogate every single bloody one of you, and if I don't like the answer, you WILL end up like the p'tak over there.

Grenthor says:
$::Looks up smiling.:: Talora: You've learned a little since you've been away.

Talora says:
$::Laughs lightly walking to the TO console.::  Grenthor:  I've learned my share, old friend. QI'yaH!  ::Fires photon torpedoes at the battle cruiser and phasers and disrupters at the tar's engines.

XO Cmdr Mo’rak says:
CO:  You will have him .  

XO Cmdr Mo’rak says:
*SEC*:  Meet me in the transporter room.  ::Leaves the bridge and heads to the Transporter Room.::

Gorlin says:
@Toir: Sir, The Qa’rol has taken damage.  ::Grinning.::  Gowron will be pleased.

Cmdr_Toir says:
@Gorlin:  Good, change in plans.  Ready another package.  If we don’t have weapons, then we’ll throw something in their way.

Cmdr_Toir says:
@FCO:  Keep heading straight for them, force them to move to starboard.  

Cmdr_Toir says:
@Gorlin: Coordinate with the Flight Control Officer and beam the package into the path of the Qa’rol.

Cmdr_Toir says:
@Sam:  Watch everything.  And let’s hope it all works out.  We will be victorious. 

FCO William Stradiot says:
@::Sighs heavily and gives a pleading look to Sam.:: Toir: A-aye....Sir.

@ACTION:  An explosive package is beamed directly in front of the Qa’rol causing the Qa’rol’s shields to go down to 15%

XO Cmdr Mo’rak says:
::Reaches the Transporter Room with 6 armed Klingons.::   All: Once we reach the tar, move out and secure.  Mind you, the majority of the ship is Our lord’s loyalists.  Use them.  ::Points to two others.::  You two are with me.  We are going to the bridge.   

XO Cmdr Mo’rak says:
Transporter Chief:  Beam us to the engine room.  We will start there and shut down their power.  ::Steps up to the padd.::  Energize.
 
Talora says:
$XO Tisht: Go with the team and take them all directly to the engine room. Shut them down. We'll take care of the Battle Cruiser. Qapla'!

Grenthor says:
$::Eyes dart up to look at Talora.:: Talora: I believe you've been a slave slightly too long, Talora.

Talora says:
$::Gives Grenthor a light pat on the cheek.:: Grenthor: I haven't changed a bit; just learned some vocab since I was last here. ::Smiles and fires again at the Alliance Battle Cruiser.::

ACTION:  The Qa’rol Transporter Chief transports Mo’rak and his security team to the engine room on the tar.

Ec`Tur`Am`Bar says:
::Steps to the Tactical console, opening all weapons on the Tar’s weapons.::  Q’Tor: Taking Tactical, working to take out the Tar’s weapons.  I’ll try to not do too much damage, I know we need all the ships we can get our hands on.  No promises at this point.  Consider this a bonus.

Samantha says:
@::Notices the shields on the Qa’rol go down due to the boarding.  She swallows hard, knowing her fate is already sealed.::  Toir:  My Lord, we are being boarded.  Intruder alert in the engine room.  ::Sounds the alert.::

Samantha says:
@::Does not hesitate and sees this as an opportunity to help a friend.  She presses a few buttons on her console.  Looks over at William, and then whispers to him.::  tar FCO William:  I’m sorry.  Please forgive me.  Tell Talora I will miss her.  Today is not your day to die.

@ACTION:  Before William can respond, Samantha activates a transporter that beams William off the tar and onto the Qa’rol’s bridge to safety.  

EO qln says:
@::Down in engineering.  Realizes that ToirHoD has betrayed Q'torjoH <Lord Q'tor> and is attacking the Qa'rol.::  Self: That traitorous p'taH!  I will not be a part of this! ::Begins complete systems shutdown.::
 
Host Q`torHoD says:
::Clinging hard to his command chair.::  EC: As soon as that cruiser in within range, fire main disruptor cannon, full power!
