Host CO_Reval says:
FCO: What's our ETA?

FCOTorvec says:
CO:  we're about 20 minutes out, sir.

EO_Tellak says:
::in sickbay helping with the alterations::

Host CO_Reval says:
FCO: Tell me the moment we enter Romulan space

EO_Tellak says:
::finishes up the last patient and looks at himself in a mirror::

FCOTorvec says:
CO:  Aye, sir.

XO_Cain says:
::though half Romulan, still nervous about approaching Romulan space::

OPS_Kerst says:
All; I hate life's  little ironies

CTO_Krez says:
::running through tactical sensor scans::

EO_Tellak says:
CMO: When can we get started on my ears and spots? ::grins::

CEO_Soral says:
::wonders where her engineer is::

CNS_Teaa says:
::Takes TL to bridge:

CMO_Varel says:
EO:  Whenever you're ready.

EO_Tellak says:
CMO: I'm ready whenever you are ::lays down on a biobed::

CNS_Teaa says:
::Steps onto Bridge:

OPS_Kerst says:
::keeps an eye on power levels, doesn't want anything leaking through cloak::

CMO_Varel says:
:: gets the equipment and walks over to the biobed ::  EO:  I'm always ready.  :: smiles ::

T`Keer says:
::in the flattest voice he can manage::  CO: I will require a meeting with your crew.  They should be in appropriate uniform.

Host CO_Reval says:
T'Keer: Is here, on the bridge appropriate?

EO_Tellak says:
CMO: Great, how long do you think it'll take?

CNS_Teaa says:
CO: Any  Idea of where we will start looking once we arrive at our destination?

CMO_Varel says:
:: starts with the alterations ::  EO:  Not very long.

T`Keer says:
CO: I suppose that will suffice.

CTO_Krez says:
CO: Sir, the cloaking device appears to be continuing to operate within acceptable perameters.

Host CO_Reval says:
CTO: Thank you

Host CO_Reval says:
*CEO/CMO/EO*: Report to the bridge as soon as possible

EO_Tellak says:
CMO: Great

CMO_Varel says:
:: continues with the alterations ::

T`Keer says:
::thinks..."acceptable parameters"...if this were a Warbird it would be running at peak efficiency::

OPS_Kerst says:
:;keeps transporter lock on T'Keer, just in case::

CEO_Soral says:
::finishes a couple minor things in ME, heads for the TL::

CMO_Varel says:
:: finishes with the alterations on the EO ::

T`Keer says:
::steps over to the engineering station while waiting and runs through the data on a few consoles, committing the readings to memory::

CTO_Krez says:
CO: Sir, I have completed the scans we spoke about earlier and all is clear.

OPS_Kerst says:
::mental calucatles time T'Keer could survive in deep space if he is beamed out of ship, smiles at answer::

Host CO_Reval says:
CTO: And the other preparations?

CTO_Krez says:
CO:  All are completed and disseminated, sir.

EO_Tellak says:
::sees Tae stop:: CMO: Are you finished?

Host CO_Reval says:
CTO: Good work

CMO_Varel says:
EO:  Yes.

CEO_Soral says:
::enters the Bridge::

CTO_Krez says:
CO: Thank you, sir.

XO_Cain says:
::starts to worry about Toni but knows not to show it::

EO_Tellak says:
::gets up:: CMO: Thank you very much ::shakes Tae's hand and heads for the TL:: we'd better get to the bridge

CMO_Varel says:
:: follows the EO to the TL ::

EO_Tellak says:
TL: Bridge

T`Keer says:
::approaches the command chair::  CO: I trust you will notify me when the rest of your crew finally arrives and I am able to proceed.

Host Brc64-AGM says:
ACTION:  The crew gathers on the bridge.

CEO_Soral says:
::stands next to the TL, awaiting instructions::

OPS_Kerst says:
::pictures T'Keer's decaptited head hanging on the wall in his quaters, smiles::

Host CO_Reval says:
T'Keer: We're all here

EO_Tellak says:
::tries to recognize everyone's Rommie forms::

OPS_Kerst says:
::waves at EO::

CTO_Krez says:
:: bores a hole in the back of T'Keer's head with his stare::

FCOTorvec says:
CO:  Captain, we have entered Romulan space, approaching planet RJX-4.

CNS_Teaa says:
::Looks around bridge at all the new faces:

Host CO_Reval says:
FCO: Take us into orbit when we arrive

FCOTorvec says:
CO:  Standard orbit, aye.

T`Keer says:
::nods to the CO:: All: The Romulan Empire has agreed to supply this vessel wit a cloaking device.  We have also agreed to...other...things.  Those other things are personal cloaking devices.  ::waits for that to sink in::

Host CO_Reval says:
::nods::  T'Keer: We assumed as much

CMO_Varel says:
:: stands quietly off to the side and listens to T'Keer ::

OPS_Kerst says:
::holds reation, won't give him satisfaction...::

CNS_Teaa says:
::Nods.  Thinks: Knew it all the time:

FCOTorvec says:
::Now that's interesting::

EO_Tellak says:
::wishes he was a real engineer so he could be really interested::

CEO_Soral says:
::gets a nervous knot in her stomach::

T`Keer says:
::raises an eyebrow::  CO: You would presume to assume anything about the Empire?  Interesting.  ::turns to face the crew again::  All: These devices are not perfect, however.  Each is limited to approximately 20 minutes of use.  I suggest you not

T`Keer says:
overestimate their lifespan.

CTO_Krez says:
:: watches every step that T'Keer makes::

OPS_Kerst says:
::to to bore his gaze right through T'Keer's skull::

Host Brc64-AGM says:
ACTION:  RJX-4 comes into view on the main screen.

Host CO_Reval says:
T'Keer: Is there anything else?

T`Keer says:
All: Once we arrive at our destination, I will be remaining with the ship. ::looks at the CO::  I will be the best suited to deal with anything which should arise.  

CMO_Varel says:
:: glances at the screen ::

CTO_Krez says:
::grins darkly::

FCOTorvec says:
CO:  We're near the planet.  Initiating geosynchronous orbit at the alleged coordinates of their HQ.

Host CO_Reval says:
T'Keer: Cmdr Cain will be in command of the Cutlass in my absense

XO_Cain says:
::looks over to T'Keer for response::

FCOTorvec says:
CO:  I suggest that if the cloak fails, XO could hide the Cutlass in the planets magnetic pole.

T`Keer says:
CO: And I trust he will heed any and all advice I give him.  The Empire willingly agreed to this mission, I would hate to think the Federation is incapable of returning that gesture.

OPS_Kerst says:
::Thinks, I have a gesture for you...:

FCOTorvec says:
::This guy is the poster child for stuffed shirts::

Host CO_Reval says:
T'Keer: He will do what he thinks is best for the crew.  And he will take your advice, so long as it doesn't put the crew in unnecessary danger

XO_Cain says:
T'Keer:  I will listen to any and all advice you give, but keep in mind, this is a Federation ship.

CEO_Soral says:
::tries to hold mild anger back::

Host CO_Reval says:
XO: Should the cloak fail, you are under orders to return to Federation space immediately

T`Keer says:
XO: With a Romulan cloaking device.  Or are you ignoring one of your greatest tactical assets?

XO_Cain says:
CO:  Acknowledged sir.

Host CO_Reval says:
AT: Let's get to the TR

OPS_Kerst says:
CO: Aye Sir:

XO_Cain says:
Away Team:  God luck.

Host CO_Reval says:
T'Keer: Unless you have anything further..

CEO_Soral says:
::follows with the AT::

CTO_Krez says:
All: Good Luck team....Captain....

EO_Tellak says:
AT: Leave the talking to me if the UT fails guys, or Kerst of course

T`Keer says:
CO: Nothing at all.  Simply, use those resources available to you efficiently.

CNS_Teaa says:
::turning to leave bridge, looks back and winks at XO:

OPS_Kerst says:
ALL: i can read, write and speak Romulan fluently. i don't need a UT for that.

CMO_Varel says:
:: walks to the TL ::

XO_Cain says:
::gives Toni the 'becareful look'::

EO_Tellak says:
OPS: We know that, I'm just more convincing

OPS_Kerst says:
::Looks at EO Puzzeled::

EO_Tellak says:
::twirls a hypo as he walks to the TR::

CMO_Varel says:
:: smiles at the XO and the CNS ::

EO_Tellak says:
::looks at OPS:: OPS: It's a joke

FCOTorvec says:
XO:  Keep her in one peice, buddy.

OPS_Kerst says:
EO: And just why are you more convincing?

Host Brc64-AGM says:
ACTION:  The Away Team beams down just outside of a cave entrance.  Nobody in sight.

XO_Cain says:
Willie:  Always my friend.

Host CO_Reval says:
::pulls out his tricorder, begins scanning::

EO_Tellak says:
::whispers in Romulan:: OPS: My accent is better

CTO_Krez says:
@T'Keer: Will you be staying on the bridge with us, sir? ::spoken with obvious digust::

CEO_Soral says:
::pulls out tricorder, keeps other hand on her disruptor::

XO_Cain says:
@::monitors cloaking device::

OPS_Kerst says:
::Whisper:: hmnpf, you sound like a drunken school boy

CNS_Teaa says:
@::checking personal disruptor status:

FCOTorvec says:
@::Visually scanning the area with infrared optic imagers::

T`Keer says:
CTO:  Certainly.  And having your invitation is very...reassuring.  

EO_Tellak says:
OPS: Ok ok, we'll BOTH talk

OPS_Kerst says:
::visually scans area::

CMO_Varel says:
:: looks around ::

CTO_Krez says:
@T'Keer: Please, don't hesitate to ask for any assistance, "sir".

Host CO_Reval says:
OPS/EO: Neither of you will be talking if we're captured.

EO_Tellak says:
CO: Right

OPS_Kerst says:
CO: aye sir

Host CO_Reval says:
CEO: Can you disable this alarm system?

EO_Tellak says:
::takes out a disruptor and looks around::

XO_Cain says:
@::feels T'Keer's uneasiness with me being half Romulan and half Human::

CNS_Teaa says:
::Puts finger to lips:  All::shh

T`Keer says:
::drawls:: @CTO: Of course.

OPS_Kerst says:
::draws dispurtor::

CTO_Krez says:
::monitors AT at all times and keeps one eye on T'Keer the whole time::

Host CO_Reval says:
CMO: Do you sense anyone in the area?

CMO_Varel says:
CO:  No sir, I don't.

OPS_Kerst says:
::Replaces disrutor::

EO_Tellak says:
::gets out a tricorder too and begins scanning turning the beeps to "low"::

CEO_Soral says:
::carefully disables the alarm::

FCOTorvec says:
CO:  I'm not picking anything up on infrared either.

CEO_Soral says:
CO: Alarm disabled.

CEO_Soral says:
::steps into the cave cautiously::

EO_Tellak says:
::follows Megan still scanning::

CEO_Soral says:
::scans the cave briefly, finds nothing, exits the cave::

CEO_Soral says:
CO: There's nothing else in there.

Host Brc64-AGM says:
DESCRIPTION (cave):  There are no more visible alarms in the area, and nobody can be seen.  There are boxes lying around the cave, containing rations and some Romulan Engineering parts.  There appears to be a door up ahead.

OPS_Kerst says:
::pulls tricorder, sa=cans door::

CEO_Soral says:
<edit out my last line>

EO_Tellak says:
::walks forward and whispers:: CO: Look, door

Host CO_Reval says:
EO: I can see it

CMO_Varel says:
:: looks at the door ::

Host CO_Reval says:
OPS: Is there anything behind it?

EO_Tellak says:
CO: Open?

OPS_Kerst says:
CO: checking?

FCOTorvec says:
::Whispers:: All:  Anyone like Romulan rations?

CMO_Varel says:
FCO:  Uh, no thanks.

FCOTorvec says:
CMO:  Just asking.

OPS_Kerst says:
CO: it appears to be locked, and the tricorder cannot penatrate through  it>

EO_Tellak says:
CO: Fire?

OPS_Kerst says:
ALL: it might alert them we're here.

FCOTorvec says:
Teaa:  Can you sense anything behind the door?

Host CO_Reval says:
::scans the door::  EO: It's made of Neutronium...  it won't help

EO_Tellak says:
CO: Comp panel... break?

CNS_Teaa says:
FCO:: sense?, no but look at the panel next to the door, looks like its coded:

EO_Tellak says:
<open>

OPS_Kerst says:
::Scans tricoder for security codes::

Host CO_Reval says:
::walks up to the panel::  I'm going to try my security codes

Host CO_Reval says:
::taps in a code::

OPS_Kerst says:
CO: well it looks like its time to try these security codes

EO_Tellak says:
::follows the CO:: CO: Good idea

FCOTorvec says:
Varel:  How about you?

Host Brc64-AGM says:
ACTION:  The door slides open, revealing a room with massive computer equipment, and one Romulan who is too busy to notice anything at the moment.

CEO_Soral says:
::stands to the side, watching closely::

Host CO_Reval says:
::motions for everyoen to stay quiet::

CMO_Varel says:
:: doesn't say anything ::

Host CO_Reval says:
::activates his PC::

EO_Tellak says:
::almost says something in Romulan::

Host Brc64-AGM says:
<Romulan>  ::working endlessly on the computer equipment::

CNS_Teaa says:
:: stops in tracks, stands  very still:

Host Brc64-AGM says:
<Romulan>  ::mumbles something about launch codes::

Host CO_Reval says:
::walks into the room with the Romulan::

OPS_Kerst says:
::motions to CO that I will walk up behind and knock puit::

EO_Tellak says:
::follows the CO cautiously::

OPS_Kerst says:
::drwas disprutor, quitely::

CEO_Soral says:
::hasn't moved::

OPS_Kerst says:
::aims at Romulan::

CNS_Teaa says:
:: takes out disruptor::

CMO_Varel says:
:: stands around the corner so she isn't seen ::

Host CO_Reval says:
::looks over the Romulan's shoulder::

CEO_Soral says:
::peers around the corner into the room, disruptor drawn::

EO_Tellak says:
::steps back::

CTO_Krez says:
@XO: Sir, we've lost the lock on the AT.

XO_Cain says:
@CTO:  I'm assumung the cave is shielded.  Hold off for awaile.

FCOTorvec says:
::Scans outward toward the cave opening with infrared::

Host CO_Reval says:
::walks to the EO, whispers in his ear::

EO_Tellak says:
::nods::

Host CO_Reval says:
EO: Activate your cloak, and find out what he's doing

CTO_Krez says:
@XO: Aye, sir... I'lll continuing scanning for them and trying to reestablish the lock.

EO_Tellak says:
::turns on his cloak and tiptoes so he's looking over the Romulan's shoulder::

OPS_Kerst says:
::contiues to aim dirruptor at romulan::

Host Brc64-AGM says:
<Romulan>  ::mumbling::  Why couldn't any engineers join the effort? Sending me off to do all the computer work..  ::finishes entering data into the computer::

Host CO_Reval says:
::deactivates his cloak, to conserve power::

T`Keer says:
@XO: You may wish to consider that excessive active scanning on your part could compromise this vessel's cloak.

CMO_Varel says:
:: watches the faces of the away team ::

EO_Tellak says:
::tiptoes back to the CO:: CO: Some computer plans, very technical stuff, quite simple actually, but he's having trouble understanding

Host Brc64-AGM says:
<Romulan>  ::freezes, then slowly looks towards the entrance to the room::

CEO_Soral says:
::eyes haven't moved from the CO's direction::

OPS_Kerst says:
::fires disprutor at Romulan::

XO_Cain says:
@T'Keer:  That's a chance we have to take to assure we can hold a lock on the AT's positions.

CNS_Teaa says:
::watches Romulan at computer, intently:

EO_Tellak says:
::jumps out of the entrance range as he looks back and keeps his cloak on:: ALL: Rom sees door

Host Brc64-AGM says:
<Romulan>  ::reaches for the alarm, but is vaporized before hitting it::

EO_Tellak says:
::looks over:: ALL: Never mind

OPS_Kerst says:
::Thinks,oops too high a setting::

CEO_Soral says:
::lets out the breath she was holding::

CMO_Varel says:
:: doesn't like watching that sort of thing ::

Host CO_Reval says:
All: Check your settings.  I don't want to kill anyone else while we're here

Host CO_Reval says:
OPS: Find out what he was doing

OPS_Kerst says:
::adjust setting down::

CTO_Krez says:
@XO: I'll try intermittently so I don't comprimise us, but still keep watch out for the AT.

T`Keer says:
@::raises an eyebrow::  XO: Our primary goal, despite your...charming...loyalty to your Captain, is not to ensure the safety of all members of that team.

OPS_Kerst says:
CO: aye sir

OPS_Kerst says:
::goes picks up PADD and starts reading data::

CEO_Soral says:
::checks setting on disruptor, still on medium stun::

EO_Tellak says:
::makes sure his setting is down::

CNS_Teaa says:
::Takes out tricorder and scans computer:

OPS_Kerst says:
::Aslo looks over computer::

EO_Tellak says:
CO: Maybe myself, and Kerst should look at these computers

EO_Tellak says:
CO: They may contain useful information

XO_Cain says:
@T'Keer:  It's not that we want to ensure their safety, we want to ensure that we have the ability to keep them alive if the situation arises.  Just because they are risking their lives doesn't mean we shouldn't make sure they don't risk them unnecesarily.

Host Brc64-AGM says:
ACTION:  The computers seem to control communications and surveillance.

OPS_Kerst says:
CO: these computers appear to be communication and surveillance eqipment.

EO_Tellak says:
CO: VERY important

Host CO_Reval says:
::nods::

Host CO_Reval says:
OPS: Keep the padd.  We may need it.

OPS_Kerst says:
::Attempts to use surveillance computer to view rest of compound::

OPS_Kerst says:
CO: Aye sir

EO_Tellak says:
CO: I'll download this information to a PADD

T`Keer says:
@XO: An accurate assessment if you do not perceive the goals established for us as necessary.  ::turns around inspects a tactical panel::

Host CO_Reval says:
EO: Do it

Host Brc64-AGM says:
ACTIONS:  A screen activates, showing empty rooms throughout the compound.

CMO_Varel says:
:: looks around at the screen ::

XO_Cain says:
@::cringes at the arrogance of this Romulan::

EO_Tellak says:
::finds a PADD on the ground and downloads the computer info into the PADD::

Host Brc64-AGM says:
ACTION:  The words "Enter Authorization Codes" appear on the screens (in Romulan, of course).

CNS_Teaa says:
CO: if the PADD contains launch codes, then there must be ships near by, but for what purpose?

OPS_Kerst says:
CO: i can't seem to locate anybody else here!?

Host CO_Reval says:
OPS: What does that say?

OPS_Kerst says:
CO" It says ""Enter Authorization Codes".

EO_Tellak says:
::looks at the authorization codes he was given:: CO: Sir, I don't think we have the right codes

Host CO_Reval says:
::walks to the computer and puts in another Romulan code::

OPS_Kerst says:
CO:; maybe it onthe PADD

CMO_Varel says:
:: waits to see if the code worked ::

Host Brc64-AGM says:
ACTION:  The monitor begins counting down from 20, pauses for a moment when "Reval" enters his codes, then continues counting down.

Host Brc64-AGM says:
