Kootenai Station – March 17, 1999

CO_K`Avok:
Engineering teams are working extra duty shifts to discover and repair all sabotaged conduits and junctures on the station.  Security teams have beefed up patrols in an attempt to forestall any further sabotage.

CO_K`Avok:
Medical teams have treated the rescued Outpost refugees and they are now ready for transport and dispersal to Federation colonies.

CO_K`Avok:
Klingon Captain Rhee K'Avok and Commander Olbrun were investigating recently discovered signs of sabotage near Cargo Bay 4

CO_K`Avok:
while the other Klingon senior officers discovered a lifepod attached to the outer hull of the station.

CO_K`Avok:
They are working to recover it now.  Scans reveal human life signs inside the pod.

CO_K`Avok:
Commander Olbrun was unexpectedly rendered unconscious following a fall on a slick substance on the deck plating near Cargo Bay 4.

CO_K`Avok:
Captain K'Avok provided a sample to Sickbay for analysis, and Commander Olbrun is recovering.

CO_K`Avok:
The changeling, Ronas, has asked for asylum on the station from the Vorta Bortish who is in  Maquis vessel with his Jem'Hadar guardian/pilot near the Station.

CO_K`Avok:
Captain Louis has interrogated Ronas and ponders his sincerity.

CO_K`Avok:
Station status:  Level one security protocols are in effect.

::Monitoring the XO's symbiont::

CTAC_Alex:
::at Tactical staring at the view screen::

CEO_Kal:
::in Main Engineering going over all systems to make sure everything is running perfectly::

COO_Cain:
::monitoring Maquis ship for activity::

D`ang:
@:: at the K'Tharsis, giving orders :: S'lia: Report on that pod!!!

CSECHicks:
::In OPS at Tac Station 2.  Monitoring station security.

CMO_Partz:
::hears some refugees moaning::

Bortish:
$::tilting head at Yangth::  Now, why do they pretend to be diplomatic and all that nonsense when they cut off communications all the time.  How irritating.

CO_Louis:
:: Walks to Ronas and stands directly in front of him :: I want to hear you say it.... Tell me you don't want to return and, tell me why. :: Some tension beginning to show in his voice ::

CTAC_Alex:
::has tractor beam ready to engage on the Maquis ship::

COO_Cain:
::wonders why Ronas would want to leave and still try to sabotage the station::

S’lia:
@::at station, checking on scans of the pod::D`ang:  One life form, appears human.

CO_Louis:
Ronas: With that ship out there, I must assume another Jem'Hadar vessel may be close behind and I won't be too happy if that is the case. :: Visibly irritated ::

D`ang:
@S'lia: Ok... Tractor that thing directly to the shuttlebay

CMO_Partz:
::sits at desk and goes over the charts of the worst cases to finalize transport assignments::

CSECHicks:
*ALL* This is a reminder to all personnel that Level 1 security is in effect.  Command codes are required to access all vital areas of the station.

CO_Louis:
<Ronas> Captain: Please don't let them take me. :: Said with a calm unwavering voice ::

S’lia:
@::curses at D`ang and begins to tractor the pod::

Bortish:
$::staring sightlessly at the viewscreen::  

CEO_Kal:
::looks around engineering to see if there's no saboteur around::

COO_Cain:
::notices Klingon ship scanning hull intensely::

Bortish:
$Yangth:  Scan for our lifepod.  I want to keep an eye on our 'friend' in there.

D`ang:
@:: still scans the hull for more surprises ::

COO_Cain:
*K'Tharsis*:  Please report.

S’lia:
@*COO*:  We are attempting to get the pod now.

D`ang:
@COMM: Kootenai: Yeah...yeah.... We found what seems to be a pod on your ugly shinning hull... There would be a human into it...

CMO_Partz:
::notices the XO stirring in her sleep::

CO_Louis:
<Ronas> Captain: The Vorta and Jem'Hadar are suspected of coercion. Some believe that the disease has been allowed to continue so the Founders could be more easily controlled. I am pleading, don't allow them to take me.

D`ang:
@S'Lia: Who told you to speak!?!...Continue your duties and shut up if I don't say you can talk!

CEO_Kal:
::monitors power allocation closely::

COO_Cain:
Captain:  Excuse me sir. The K'Tharsis is reporting some type of pod on the hull.  They report one life sign.

CMO_Partz:
::walks over to the biobed and reads the monitor::

CO_Louis:
:: Deep sigh... then stares blankly at the changeling’s eyes ::

S’lia:
@::begins to use the tractor beam to bring the pod to the shuttlebay:: D`ang:  Your orders, that's what.  Make up your mind...  if you have one::

CTAC_Alex:
::gathers reports from tactical teams across the station....still no sign of the saboteur::

CSECHicks:
Cain:  Can you get a fix on the exact species in the pod?

D`ang:
@S'Lia: That's the difference.. You have NONE!

CO_Louis:
<Ronas> ::Stares blankly back and does not stir ::

Bortish:
$<Yangth>Sir, they have discovered the pod and are tractoring it into the station.

Bortish:
ACTION: THE TRACTOR BEAM PULLS THE LIFEPOD INTO A BAY.

CMO_Partz:
::presses a hypospray to the XO's neck to deliver a stimulant::

COO_Cain:
Hicks:  Perhaps the Klingons have established that since they just tractored the pod into their shuttle bay.

D`ang:
@S'Lia: Is the pod in the shuttlebay?

CTAC_Alex:
Hicks: Do you need help with security in the cargo bay?

CMO_Partz:
::sees that it had no effect and goes back to his reports::

CO_Louis:
:: Moves away and stands with back to viewscreen ::

COO_Cain:
*K'Tharsis*:  Have you established the type of life form in the pod yet?

CSECHicks:
Alex:  Negative, my teams can handle it.  Thanks.

S’lia:
@D`ang:  you have the brain... you tell me...  ::smirks::  Of course it is.

D`ang:
@S'lia: Well...Welll.... what happened with that pod?

CTAC_Alex:
Hicks: OK, just give the word if you change your mind ::smiles briefly::

CO_Louis:
:: Listens to the crew grapple with the lifepod and ponders his next move ::

S’lia:
@D`ang:  It's in the shuttlebay.  Are you going to answer Kootenai?

Bortish:
$::small sigh::  Well, we planned for just such an event.  I only hope our agent remembers his duty.

D`ang:
@COMM: Kootenai: Yeah.. is a human butt...

COO_Cain:
::thinks, a human but?::

CMO_Partz:
::notices a small girl wondering around with a small tear running down her cheek::

D`ang:
@S'lia: grrrrrrrr........Return us to the station....

CO_Louis:
Cain: Raise that ship. :: Turns to the viewscreen ::

COO_Cain:
CO:  Aye.

CMO_Partz:
::walks over to the little girl::Little girl:Whats wrong?

CTAC_Alex:
::returns gaze to the view screen::

COO_Cain:
::raises Maquis ship::  On view screen sir.

Bortish:
$::twitching mouth, annoyed::

D`ang:
@COMM: Kootenai: Open that door, eh?... 

S’lia:
@::prepares the ship to return to the station::

Bortish:
$*Kootenai*  Well, hello again Captain.

Bortish:
$::smug smile::

COO_Cain:
*K'Tharsis*  Door is open now.  You may proceed.

CSECHicks:
Cain:  Which bay will be reserved for the lifepod?

CO_Louis:
*Bortish* This isn't a social call.... I have a small request.

COO_Cain:
Hicks:  Bay 2.

D`ang:
@S'lia: Fast!!..1/2 impulse!

Bortish:
$*Kootenai* Oh, let's hear it Captain.  I've been awaiting your reply. 

CMO_Partz:
<<littleGirl>>:eww you look like a piggy ::little girl whaps him and runs off::

CSECHicks:
Cain:  Thank you.  *Security*  Bravo Team report to Cargo Bay 2 with phasers on stun.

CTAC_Alex:
::watches the CO closely for any signal to engage the tractor beam::

S’lia:
@::returns the K`Tharsis to Kootenai::

CMO_Partz:
To noone:I knew there was a reason I never mated

CO_Louis:
*Bortish* There is no way you can convince me that you are here just to pick-up a Founder. Especially since you are in an obviously inferior craft. You have something else in mind, and this little rouse isn't going to fly. You will not get the Founder back until I know what the truth is. Consider this. :: Signals to Cain to disconnect comm ::

CEO_Kal:
*CTO* Have you found anything about another saboteur?

D`ang:
@S'lia: Well....

COO_Cain:
::disconnects comm::

CO_Louis:
*Hicks* Do not open that pod until you know the origin. That is an order.

D`ang:
@*COO*: Where do you want that pod?....err...., mister

Bortish:
$::sighing again::  They just keep going in a single-minded direction.  And to think I wanted to be assigned to the Diplomatic Corps.  I really don't know how they manage with these humans.

CTAC_Alex:
*CEO* :Negative...they are still searching

S’lia:
@::lands inside the shuttlebay:: D`ang:  we have returned to the station.

CSECHicks:
CO:  Aye sir.

COO_Cain:
*D'ang*  Follow Security Chief Hick's instructions.

CEO_Kal:
*CTO* Understood, we're being careful down here

Bortish:
ACTION: TWO LARGE FEDERATION MEDICAL TRANSPORTS ARE REQUESTING DOCKING CLEARANCE TO PICK UP THE RECOVERING REFUGEES.

CMO_Partz:
::looks at his ancient earth chronometer:: They are always late.

D`ang:
@S'Lia: Goodie...  *COO* Who??... Tell him to come here... I will not wait him too long :: grins ::

COO_Cain:
::signals transports to dock in bays 4 and 6::

CO_Louis:
Ronas: Well,... :: A short pause :: Welcome aboard. You have your wish. I don't believe they will share anything with us, so you will be here for a while.

CSECHicks:
*D'ang* Please beam the lifepod to Cargo Bay 2.

CO_Louis:
<Ronas> :: Nods ::

Bortish:
ACTION: THE LIFESIGNS IN THE POD ARE FADING.

D`ang:
@S'Lia: You heard him.. Beam that thing over there...

COO_Cain:
*Medical Personnel*  Transports are ready to receive casualties in docking bays 4 and 6.

CO_Louis:
Alex: Escort our guest to his quarters and post guards outside the entry.

CTAC_Alex:
CO:Aye sir

CMO_Partz:
*OPS*I'm going to begin transporting the refugees to the transports now

CO_Louis:
Ronas: This is just a precaution.

S’lia:
@::beam the lifepod to cargo bay 2::D`ang:  transport complete

CTAC_Alex:
Hicks: Take over for me here

COO_Cain:
*CMO*  Acknowledged.

CO_Louis:
<Ronas> Captain: I understand. :: Follows ::

CSECHicks:
Alex:  Aye.

CTAC_Alex:
::goes to TL with Ronas::

D`ang:
@*COO/CSEC*: Err.. That thing will not be alive too longer... so take care of it...

XO_Olbrun:
::for the second time today tries to regain consciousness::

CSECHicks:
::Scans the lifepod::  CO:  The life signs inside the pod are fading.

CTAC_Alex:
::signals teams to cover all passages along the way to Ronas' new quarters::

COO_Cain:
*CMO*  Report to cargo bay 2 for medical situation with lifeform in the pod.

CEO_Kal:
::runs diagnostics on major systems::

CMO_Partz:
::notices the XO stirring::NurseScratchit:Begin taking these people to the docking bays

D`ang:
@:: sits on chair and waits K'Avok :: S'Lia: You are... somehow....free.....

CO_Louis:
*Hicks* Get the CMO there and make sure security teams are in place.

CSECHicks:
CO:  Sir we need to open that thing in order for medical to work on the lifeform.

CTAC_Alex:
::escorts Ronas to his new quarters....nodding to his men along the way::

CMO_Partz:
::walks over to the XO and presses a hypospray to her neck::

CO_Louis:
*Hicks* Very well.

CO_K`Avok:
*D'Ang*  Report!

XO_Olbrun:
::eyes flutter open. She looks relieved, then irritated:: CMO: Why am I here?

CTAC_Alex:
::opens the door to Ronas' quarters and allows his men to enter first to secure it::

CO_Louis:
Cain: Let the Vorta know that we are dropping shields and expect them to keep their distance as the Medical Transports dock.

D`ang:
@*CO*: uh ..huh...Err... We sent the pod to them, sir...

CMO_Partz:
XO:I'm afraid you broke your coccyx when you fell, it compressed your spinal column and knocked you into a coma

CTAC_Alex:
Ronas: I am going to keep several men inside and outside your new quarters. If there is anything you need they can provide for you.

CSECHicks:
*Bravo Team*  Cover that lifepod.  Be ready for anything  *CMO*  My security team is ready for you to open the pod.

CO_K`Avok:
*D'Ang*  Where is the pod?  I want to inspect it.

CMO_Partz:
XO: I repaired the damage and you should be fit for duty in a few days

XO_Olbrun:
CMO: All that from slipping and falling on my backside? ::slightly amused::

CO_Louis:
<Ronas> :: Nods :: Thank you. :: Enters ::

D`ang:
@*CO*: Cargo bay 2, sir!

S’lia:
@::watches D`ang, amused by his discomfort talking to the CO::

XO_Olbrun:
CMO: In case you haven't noticed, I need to be fit for duty now. Not in a few days.

CTAC_Alex:
::nods back and watches the door close behind Ronas::

COO_Cain:
::acknowledges captain::

CMO_Partz:
XO:Well, A captain K’Avok brought you in quite concerned

CTAC_Alex:
*CO*: Ronas is secure in his quarters, Sir

CO_K`Avok:
ACTION: SHIELDS DROP TO ALLOW THE MEDICAL TRANSPORTS TO DOCK.  SHIELDS GO UP IMMEDIATELY AFTER THE SHIPS HAVE DOCKED.

D`ang:
@S'lia: don't look me that way or I'll kill you

CO_Louis:
*Alex* Very good.

CTAC_Alex:
::heads back to OPS::

CMO_Partz:
XO:Carried you as a matter of fact

COO_Cain:
*Medical Personnel*  The transports have docked.

CEO_Kal:
::heads out engineering to a close by area to do some repairs::

CO_K`Avok:
*D'Ang*:  Very well.  I'll be there if you need me.  Bring back the ship when you can dock again.

CSECHicks:
*Alex*  When you get back here, I'm going to Cargo Bay 2.

S’lia:
@D`ang:  I can't help myself.  You make it too easy

XO_Olbrun:
::wrinkles brow:: CMO: That sounds like Rhee, all right. ::she tries to hop off the table:: Thank you for your assistance.

CTAC_Alex:
*Hicks*: Very well, I shall be there soon

D`ang:
@*K'Avok*: We are already docked, sir

CO_K`Avok:

D`ang:
@S'Lia: Shut UP!

CO_Louis:

D`ang:
@S'Lia: No... 

CTAC_Alex:
Hicks: Thanks for covering for me

CEO_Kal:
*CO* We're keeping an eye on any saboteur around engineering, we haven’t found any yet

CO_K`Avok:
::scowling at the silly medical team standing around in Cargo Bay2::

XO_Olbrun:
Partz: Do I have to say "pretty please"?

CO_K`Avok:
Medical Team:  What are you supposed to do here?  Open the pod?

CO_K`Avok:
ACTION: THE LIFE SIGNS IN THE POD CEASE.

CSECHicks:
Alex: Not a problem. ::Leaves for Cargo Bay 2::

CO_Louis:
*Kal* What is the status of weapons and life support?

CTAC_Alex:
::checks his station and sees that all is as he left it::

CMO_Partz:
K’Avok:We are preparing to move these refugees to the transports

COO_Cain:
::continues to monitor Maquis ship as it still sits motionless::

CO_K`Avok:
::sighing::

CEO_Kal:
*CO* Weapons and life support have all the power needed sir

CTAC_Alex:
Cain: Do we still have transporter locks on all aboard the Maquis ship?

CO_K`Avok:
$<Yangth>  Sir, our agent has completed his mission.  

XO_Olbrun:
::would be tapping her fingers impatiently if possible.::

CSECHicks:
::Enters Cargo Bay 2::  Captain K'Avok:  May I help you, sir?

COO_Cain:
Alex:  Yes, they haven't the shielding to block them out.

Bortish:
$::small sigh::  Well, at least one thing has gone right today.

CTAC_Alex:
Cain: Good  ::smiles::

CMO_Partz:
::taps his PADD::XO:You are not going to move until I discharge you, End of story

CEO_Kal:
::in engineering running scans near the core::

CO_Louis:
*Kal* Very well, keep me posted.

XO_Olbrun:
CMO: And what do I have to do to convince you to discharge me?

Bortish:
$ ::idly wondering what the humans do with their dead::

CEO_Kal:
*CO* aye sir!

CMO_Partz:
XO:Stay here a few days until you get well enough to go back to duty

Bortish:
$::starting to wonder what he's going to do if he fails to bring back Ronas::

D`ang:
@S'Lia: Want some gagh?

XO_Olbrun:
CMO:And you're going to keep me in this field all that time? I'd do much better in my quarters. ::turning on the charm::

CO_Louis:
*Partz* What is the status of my XO?

CSECHicks:
*Medical*  We need a medical team here to open the pod.

CMO_Partz:
*CO*:She has just regained consciousness, and she is already acting stubborn

XO_Olbrun:
CMO: I'm not acting.

CO_Louis:
*Doctor* She sounds fine to me. When can she return to duty?

CO_Louis:
*CMO* I need her in Cargo bay 2

CEO_Kal:
::wonders about Ronas and what he said:

CEO_Kal:
:

CMO_Partz:
*CSEC*:Ask one of those medics to do it

kcoK`Avok:
*Captain Louis*  Permission to crack open this pod Captain?

CMO_Partz:
*CO*:She is unable to walk at the moment

XO_Olbrun:
CMO: Only because you have me in a restraining field.

S’lia:
@D`ang:that would be good.

kcoK`Avok:
::itching to open that pod::

D`ang:
@:: stands up and goes to the K’Tharsis dining room ::

CO_Louis:
*kcoK'Avok* I have already given that order. Keep security standing by and continue. Keep me informed.

CSECHicks:
*CMO* Acknowledged.

kcoK`Avok:
::wicked grin::  *CO*  With pleasure.

kcoK`Avok:
::gesturing at the medical staff to hurry up::  Let's go!

XO_Olbrun:
::said loud enough that Louis can hear her over the comm::

CMO_Partz:
XO:Your simple Trill charms will not affect me, You will stay here until I'm satisfied with your recovery

kcoK`Avok:
ACTION: AS THE LIFEPOD CRACKS OPEN, EVERYONE LEANS IN FOR A CLOSER LOOK.

S’lia:
@::follows D`ang to the dining room::

CSECHicks:
K'Avok:  Sir, we are ready when you are.

COO_Cain:
::still monitoring the Maquis ship and checking scans for any further Jem'Hadar ships::

CTAC_Alex:
CO: What about the Maquis ship? I am ready to either fire on them or tractor them.::smiles::

XO_Olbrun:
Partz: Shows what you know. I'm not a Terran, or did the spots not give that away?

CSECHicks:
::Bravo Team covers the pod with phasers::

CO_Louis:
*CMO* :: Snickering over the comm :: Doc, let her learn on her own... Please.

kcoK`Avok:
ACTION: THE LIFEPOD SMELLS VERY BAD.  INSIDE IS A SMALL, DEAD HUMAN MALE WITH WHAT APPEAR TO BE SEVERAL TOOLS.

CEO_Kal:
*Cain* keep me informed on any power you would need

kcoK`Avok:
Bah!   ::holding nose from the stench::

COO_Cain:
*Kal*  Acknowledged.

kcoK`Avok:
It smells worse than D'Ang's cooking!

CMO_Partz:
*CO*:I;d prefer my patient to not be a vegetable for the rest of her life

kcoK`Avok:
::gesturing at the dead form::  There's your saboteur.  Look at all the tools.

CO_Louis:
*Doc* There's no chance of that. As long as she has me to pester.

CSECHicks:
K'Avok:  I think we should beam this body to sickbay.

kcoK`Avok:
::peering in for a closer look and noting the smear on the dead occupant's coveralls matches the smear on his own pants::  Hah!  He is the one.

CEO_Kal:
::one of the engineers hand her a report on the repairs he just finished::

XO_Olbrun:
::she hears that and smiles- her grudge against Louis has finally been dropped::

kcoK`Avok:
Hicks:  Do what you will.  I have no use for dead cowards.

CMO_Partz:
::shakes his head and turns off the restraining field::XO:At least do me the favor of using a mobility chair

kcoK`Avok:
::waving a huge hand in dismissal of all cowards and clomping off down the corridor to find Sickbay::

XO_Olbrun:
::she gingerly gets off the table, testing her legs, and finding that she's sore, but steady:: Partz: I'm sorry, Doc, but that just won't do.

CMO_Partz:
XO:By Favor I mean its an Order

CSECHicks:
K'Avok:  Aye. *Cain* Can I trouble you for a site to site transport of this corpse?  I need it in sickbay.

CTAC_Alex:
*CEO*: Have you any new reports of sabotage? I haven't heard of any from my tactical teams

D`ang:
@:: In the dining room, eating fresh gagh, and talks with the mouth full :: S'Lia: and..uh.. you think those idiots would find the saboteur?

XO_Olbrun:
Partz: You've obviously not dealt with me before. I make a habit of ignoring orders.

kcoK`Avok:
Hicks:  Contact my ship.  They'll give you what you need.  ::clomping off in search of Olbrun and Sickbay::

CMO_Partz:
::seals the sickbay door::You will use the chair

COO_Cain:
*Hick*  Energizing.  ::beams them to sickbay::

CMO_Partz:
XO:or you will not leave this sickbay

CO_Louis:
*Olbrun* Please remain in sick bay and oversee the evaluation of the corpse, please.

kcoK`Avok:
::clomping into Sickbay and hitting the door that doesn't open::   OOF!

S’lia:
@::no, they're too busy chasing themselves.

XO_Olbrun:
::sighs:: Partz: Doc, you were literally saved by the bell, there.

CEO_Kal:
*CTO* No, we haven’t found any more trace of sabotage yet

CSECHicks:
::Materializes in sickbay with the corpse::

kcoK`Avok:
::banging on the door with a huge fist::

CMO_Partz:
::hears a dull thud and opens the door::

CTAC_Alex:
*CEO* Very well. Thank You

XO_Olbrun:
::she turns to the corpse:: Partz: I'd suggest you let him in.

kcoK`Avok:
Partz:  Not a good way to run a business, Dr.

XO_Olbrun:
::in response to the banging on the door::

CMO_Partz:
::looks over at the corpse on the table::

CO_Louis:
Cain: Oversee OPS, I'll be in my ready room.

D`ang:
@S'Lia: They only chase...how do they call that thing??... butterflies?

CSECHicks:
CMO:  Doc, I need an autopsy on this being.

COO_Cain:
CO:  Aye sir.

XO_Olbrun:
Partz: Identify what killed him, and who he was.

CSECHicks:
XO:  How are you feeling, sir?

kcoK`Avok:
::looking over at Olbrun and relieved to see her awake and alert::

CO_Louis:
:: Exits OPS and enters a room just off the deck and steps down into his office ::

S’lia:
@::laughs:: D`ang: true.

CMO_Partz:
::looks over the body::To no one: he's dead alright

D`ang:
@:: laughs :: HA HA HA HA

XO_Olbrun:
Hicks: Better, thank you. A little sore, but thanks to my knight in shining armor here..::gestures to K’Avok:: I'm fine.

kcoK`Avok:
XO:    ::big toothy grin::  I lay your saboteur at your feet, My Lady.  

CO_Louis:
:: Sits at his desk looking out to the stars and wondering why the Vorta are so stubborn ::

CTAC_Alex:
::leans on his console::

CTAC_Alex:
Cain:Well, Cain, what do you think of our situation?

XO_Olbrun:
::she stays back out of the doctor's way:: K’Avok: You are too kind. ::smiles a little sadly, knowing that there truly was a traitor amongst us::

COO_Cain:
Alex:  Which one?

CMO_Partz:
::notices a fouls odor and activates the atmospheric sterilizer::

kcoK`Avok:
XO:  I would've spent more time on the gift wrapping, but I was in a hurry.

CTAC_Alex:
Cain: This Maquis ship

XO_Olbrun:
::she tries, unsuccessfully, to subdue a smile::

CEO_Kal:
*CTO* Have you found the saboteur?

XO_Olbrun:
::taps her commbadge thoughtfully:: *Louis* What is your status?

CTAC_Alex:
*CEO* No reports of our saboteur yet....we are still searching

CO_Louis:
:: Concern crosses his face and he works through the game ::

CMO_Partz:
::pulls out the sternal cutting laser::Now to begin the Y incision

COO_Cain:
Alex:  I think since they are not leaving, the Captain knows they want something bad. The Captain know this and will be as stubborn as it takes to find out their motives.

CO_Louis:
*Olbrun* We are still at full alert. I can come down there if necessary.

XO_Olbrun:
::turns away from the autopsy...she's not able to stomach this part::

COO_Cain:
Alex:  I would just take them prisoner, but that’s why I’m not the captain.

XO_Olbrun:
*Louis* It's not necessary at this time. Autopsy and identification are underway.

CSECHicks:
*Alex*  I believe we have located our saboteur.

CTAC_Alex:
Cain: Yes, that is apparent, but what do YOU think?

D`ang:
@:: eats more gagh ::

kcoK`Avok:
::extending his arm to Olbrun::  If I may draw you away for awhile?

CO_Louis:
*Olbrun* Very well, keep me informed.

CTAC_Alex:
*Hicks* Send me a report as soon as you can.....also inform the CEO

XO_Olbrun:
::glances at the doc, then takes his arm:: *Louis* Olbrun out.

CMO_Partz:
XO:You aren’t leaving this sickbay without a mobility chair

XO_Olbrun:
::sigh:: Rhee: Busted again. Let's just take this to the door.

CO_Louis:
:: A thought crossed his mind... why is the Vorta so patient and why come unarmed. It doesn't add up. ::

CMO_Partz:
::Computer seal the Sickbay::

CSECHicks:
*Alex* Acknowledged.  ::Punches report into a PADD::  *CEO*  Kal, we may have found our saboteur.

kcoK`Avok:
::big eyebrows coming down low::  Alright Dr.  We'll be happy to take the chair.  ::grasping the chair in one big hairy fist and guiding Olbrun gently out the door with his other hand::

CEO_Kal:
*CSec* Hicks, do you know who he is?

COO_Cain:
*Captain*  The Maquis ship is communicating with someone toward Dominion space on a scrambled channel.

CMO_Partz:
:;looks up at the hulking klingon::Are you a certified medic?

CSECHicks:
*CEO* Identity unknown, but evidence suggests that he is the culprit.

kcoK`Avok:
::in an aside remark to Olbrun::  Your doctors are very similar to ours, only with dull teeth.

CO_Louis:
:: As if a revelation has been presented, jumps up and heads out to OPS ::

XO_Olbrun:
::she sits down, grimacing, then smiles slyly at the comment::

CO_Louis:
Cain: How long has this been going on?

CO_Louis:
Cain: Check the sensor logs.

COO_Cain:
CO:  Checking . . .

CEO_Kal:
*CSec* Hicks, alright, thanks

CO_Louis:
:: Moves to Cain's station and looks over the logs with him ::

CMO_Partz:
::walks over to the control panel and turns the restraining field on and encrypts the locking mechanism with a fractal encryption code::XO:You can leave for now

XO_Olbrun:
::she wants to be back at Ops, but it's not going to happen, apparently.::

CMO_Partz:
XO:but I want you back in here by 23:00

XO_Olbrun:
Partz: Don't think you can dictate curfew.

COO_Cain:
CO:  According to the logs, they have been doing this since we cut off communications for the first time.

CSECHicks:
CMO: Doctor, please keep me informed about our  sleeping friend.  If there is nothing else, I'll return to OPS.

XO_Olbrun:
::still has Rhee's hand::

CMO_Partz:
XO:I am the CMO, I can and will dictate you curfew for medical needs

XO_Olbrun:
::her eyes narrow: CMO: Enough. We will finish this discussion when I get back.

CO_Louis:
:: Out loud and to nobody in particular :: That means that they are here under the assumption of peace, and have an ulterior motive.

kcoK`Avok:
Olbrun:  Let us be away from the stench of cowards!  ::whirling the chair off into the corridor and making other crew run to get out of the way::

CO_Louis:
Cain: How long will it take a ship to arrive from the destination of those transmissions?

COO_Cain:
CO:  That’s surprising ::mumbles quietly::

COO_Cain:
CO:  About 27 hours sir.

XO_Olbrun:
::she wrinkles her brow:: Rhee: What was it you wanted to talk to me about?

CMO_Partz:
::shakes his head and continues the autopsy::

CO_Louis:
Cain: Shields down.

CSECHicks:
::Exits sickbay and returns to OPS::

CO_Louis:
Cain: Open a channel.

kcoK`Avok:
Ah.  ::getting serious::   I will be away from quite some time and I wanted to see you before I went.  It may be a long time before my return.

CO_Louis:
:; Turns to the Viewscreen ::

COO_Cain:
CO:  ::lowers shields::  Channel open sir.

CTAC_Alex:
::looks back to view screen::

XO_Olbrun:
Rhee: Heading deep into the fight?

CSECHicks:
::Returns to Tac Station 2::

kcoK`Avok:
XO:  In fact, I must be prepared to depart within the hour.  I can't say anymore than that.  ::very serious::

CMO_Partz:
::lifts up what appears to be a stomach and weighs it::

CSECHicks:
Alex:  Here is my report on the saboteur.  ::hands him a PADD::

CO_Louis:
*Bortish* Please bring yourself and you crew aboard. Use shuttle bay 4. I will meet you there to welcome you aboard.

Bortish:
$::exchanging ideas with Dominion Command, in a less-than-pleasant manner::

CTAC_Alex:
::takes the PADD:: Hicks: Thanks

CSECHicks:
CO:  Shall I have security report to that shuttle bay, sir?

Bortish:
$*Kootenai*  A welcome!  How splendid.  I'm so glad you will acquiesce to my request Captain.  I was positive you were an intelligent, reasonable man.  ::smug smile::  I shall be there shortly.

XO_Olbrun:
::she lets out a sigh:: Rhee: I will miss you. It was good to see you, even if for so brief a time.

COO_Cain:
CO:  Shall I inform Starfleet for possible available ships in the area sir?

CMO_Partz:
::lowers a small pulley system and begins to removes the intestines:;

CO_Louis:
:: Nods to Bortish, then signals to Cain to cut transmission ::

COO_Cain:
::cuts transmission::

CO_Louis:
Cain: Scramble all transmissions in this sector. Don't allow any communication back to Dominion space.

COO_Cain:
CO:  Aye sir.

CO_Louis:
:: Walks to and enters the TL ::

COO_Cain:
*Kal*  Report to OPS.

kcoK`Avok:
XO:  ::kneeling down in front of her::  Yes.  I too felt a pull when I thought of seeing you again.

CO_Louis:
*Hicks* Send a security team to meet me at Shuttle bay 4.

CTAC_Alex:
::holds weapons steadily on the Maquis ship as it moves for docking::

XO_Olbrun:
::is surprised, but keeps it hidden::

kcoK`Avok:
XO:  Remember me.  I will return.  ::said forcefully::

CEO_Kal:
*Cain* I’m on my way!

COO_Cain:
::begins to scramble all transmissions in the area::

CSECHicks:
*CO* I shall meet you there myself with Alpha Team, sir.

kcoK`Avok:
ACTION: K`AVOK STANDS SUDDENLY AND ENTERS THE DOCKING CORRIDOR THAT LEADS TO HIS SHIP, LEAVING OLBRUN STUNNED AT HIS HASTY DEPARTURE.

XO_Olbrun:
::she smiles:: Rhee: I can't forget you.

CEO_Kal:
::checks one last thing before going out of engineering::

CSECHicks:
*Security*  Alpha Team:  Please meet me in Shuttle Bay 4.

XO_Olbrun:
::her comment is interrupted by his hasty departure, and she leans back in her chair...unexpected indeed::

CMO_Partz:
<<medic>>wow, his intestines are over 15 meters long, that’s twice the normal length

kcoK`Avok:
ACTION: OLBRUN IS LEFT WITH THE FADING SOUND OF HIS BOOTS CLOMPING DOWN THE CORRIDOR.

CEO_Kal:
::in TL:: OPS

CO_Louis:
*Olbrun* When you have the opportunity to escape your captor from SB, please take OPS. Louis out.

kcoK`Avok has changed to Kris

XO_Olbrun:
*Louis* I'm in this darned chair, but I'm coming.

XO_Olbrun:
::turns her chair towards the turbolift, and heads towards Ops::

CEO_Kal:
::exits TL onto OPS::

CO_Louis:
:: Exits TL and waits outside the doors to Shuttle bay 4 ::

CSECHicks:
::Enters TL and descends to flight deck::

CTAC_Alex:
::powers down tractor beam and checks all tactical system status::

CSECHicks:
::Joins the CO outside the shuttle bay::

CTAC_Alex:
Kal: Nice to see you here again

CSECHicks:
CO:  Sir.

CMO_Partz:
::notices something odd about the stomach contents::

COO_Cain:
Kal:  Can you find a way to unscramble the Vorta's communications?

Kris:
