U.S.S. Luna  
 
In League with Aging Republics  Part Three.  

Stardate 10108.12

Host Chris_N says:
SYNOPSIS:  With the Laquona Star League Ambassador wandering around the ship, and the pompous Finotan Republic Ambassador hiding out in the CO's Ready Room, the Luna  has ran into a curious development indeed.

It seems what was expected to be a Pirate Attack on a Finotan Freighter has apparently (by recorded sensor readings) turned into a preemptive strike by the Laquona Star League, and thereby harming the fragile peace in this region of the galaxy.

The Luna 's Captain, being a wise diplomat, has so far been able to keep this information from both the two ambassadors and the four Finotan Battleships.  These vessels commanded by Captain Vodoa are apparently conducting their own investigation into the attack.

::makes himself more comfortable in the little human's cheaply manufactured chair, steepling his hands reflectively as he takes in the flushed face of the little man who stood before him, idly wondering if he should take pity upon him or not::

Host AMB_Auples says:
::Having slipped out of his quarters, wanders the ship, pondering something::

CSO_Brehgorn says:
::at science, analyzing data retrieved from the Finotan freighter to find if their records have been tampered with in any way::

::running sensor sweeps::

CNS_Luchena says:
::standing on the bridge holding Puufee under his arm and sucking on his bleeding finger::

CTO-Duvas says:
::Standing at Tactical scanning the Battleships for possible weakness::

Host CO_Merced says:
Vreidiri: Am I to take your lack of response as an indication you are not willing to leave on your own, sir?

Host AMB_Hinta_Vreidiri says:
::raises a brow:: CO: Is there a problem, Commander?

CSO_Brehgorn says:
CTO:  Duvas, at your earliest opportunity, I'd like you to analyze the damage on that freighter and compare it to everything we know about Laquonan armaments.

Host AMB_Auples says:
::Stops a crewman and asks them where he might send a communication.::

CTO-Duvas says:
*Security*: Have 4 security team members report to the CNS immediately.

CTO-Duvas says:
<Security> *CTO* Aye. On our way.

CSO_Brehgorn says:
::analyzes freighter data for signs of any Laquonan transmissions they may have picked up during the attack::

CTO-Duvas says:
CSO_Brehgorn: Aye. ::Opens the data file to review it::

CEO_Jokeg says:
::in his office in ME, looking over the freighters logs of the battle::

Host AMB_Auples says:
::Nods and follows the instructions.  Coming to the unit eyes it openly.  Tries to make a call.::

Host CO_Merced says:
::raises an eyebrow to match wondering if the ambassador is deaf too:: Vreidiri: I asked you to leave to save yourself the indignity of being removed physically from my ready room and bridge.  You have not replied yet.

CSO_Brehgorn says:
CTO:  Concentrate on discrepancies.  Our data now suggests the Laquonans were responsible for the attack, and I'm looking for evidence to the contrary.

CMO_Ravenprowler says:
:: calls in a medic and signs off transfer orders for all wounded except the traumas.::

CSO_Brehgorn says:
Self:  Huh.

CTO-Duvas says:
To Self: This is odd. ::Continues to review the data even more::

Host AMB_Hinta_Vreidiri says:
::looks the man straight in the eye:: CO: I am concerned for my people. I have no intentions of making your job harder, my dear man, but according to Section 125643.89C of the Fintoan Compact with SFC, I am within my rights to accompany you on this mission, and avail myself of all facilities necessary to do my job. ::sniffs::

Host AMB_Auples says:
::As the computer starts babbling protocols back at him he sighs and hits the nearest comm button.::

CSO_Brehgorn says:
CTO:  Duvas, I'm reading that a torpedo hit the hull of the freighter without any impact to the shields whatsoever.

CTO-Duvas says:
CSO_Brehgorn: I don't find any discrepancies in this data. It does look like the Laquonans did attack the Freighter.

Host AMB_Auples says:
*CO*: I want to make a call to my government.

Host AMB_Hinta_Vreidiri says:
CO: Perhaps I should hold my meeting upon your bridge?

CSO_Brehgorn says:
CTO:  It's as if someone aboard the freighter wanted that torpedo to hit.

CTO-Duvas says:
CSO_Brehgorn: Same here too. Looks like the torpedo was modified.

CNS_Luchena says:
::acknowledges the arrival of the four security officers.  Send two to Auples quarters to make sure he is there and keep him there.  Asks the other two to wait for Vreidiri to leave the ready room and escort him to wherever::

CSO_Brehgorn says:
CTO: Perhaps.

Host CO_Merced says:
::smiles thinly:: Vreidiri:  Let's not stop the regulation quote there Ambassador.  It continues saying that the use of said facilities are at the discretion of the commanding officer, which, as luck would have it, would be me.

CSO_Brehgorn says:
::runs data on freighter crew to find out if any of the crewman may have had sympathies or past allegiances with the Laquonans::

Host AMB_Auples says:
::Not getting any response debates on going to the bridge.::

CTO-Duvas says:
CSO_Brehgorn: It looks as though someone has given the frequency of the shields to Laquonans and modified the torpedo to pass right through.

CSO_Brehgorn says:
CTO: Do the Laquonan's have the technology to develop torpedoes that can move through shields like a ghost?

Host AMB_Hinta_Vreidiri says:
::nods as well, his smile becoming slightly more feral:: CO: That is true, Commander, so I will formally request your cooperation in this matter.

Host CO_Merced says:
*Auples* Use your terminal in your quarters to contact the bridge.  They will put you in contact with your government.

CTO-Duvas says:
CSO_Brehgorn: Unknown.

CMO_Ravenprowler says:
:: sends a comm to the CO denoting the readiness of the finotans to leave the Luna for their own ship.::

CNS_Luchena says:
<Security team 1>  ::finds Auples in the corridor::

Host AMB_Auples says:
*CO*:  Very well.

CEO_Jokeg says:
::turns the recording off, sitting back in his chair::

CSO_Brehgorn says:
::analyzes freighter data to see if anyone dropped shields during the attack::

Host AMB_Auples says:
*OPS*:  I want to make a call to my government.

CNS_Luchena says:
<Security team 1>::waits to escort Auples back to his quarters::

Host CO_Merced says:
Vreidiri: And I, ambassador, will regretfully decline your request, and again insist that you return to your quarters so that my crew may complete the investigation thoroughly and without distraction.

CNS_Luchena says:
::waiting outside the RR door with Puufee and two security officers::

CTO-Duvas says:
::hears the AMB Auples request to contact his government::

Host AMB_Hinta_Vreidiri says:
CO: Or better yet, may that rather odd young man...your counselor, I believe, be assigned as my attaché? It will then be possible for me to complete my business elsewhere.

CTO-Duvas says:
OPS: I will handle the Ambassador’s request.

Host AMB_Hinta_Vreidiri says:
::waves the scented handkerchief once more::

Host AMB_Hinta_Vreidiri says:
::stands gracefully::

CTO-Duvas says:
*AMB_Auples*: Who is it you want to contact and I'll open a secure com link for you?

CSO_Brehgorn says:
::analyzes data to find any evidence that the attackers were NOT Laquonan::

Host CO_Merced says:
Vreidiri:  ::nodding:: Counselor Luchena will be more than willing to aid you in finding your quarters, or transferring to the Finotan flagship.

Host CO_Merced says:
::offers a silent prayer for Mikal's soul::

CEO_Jokeg says:
::takes a PADD from Engineer, looks at it::EO: Send a team to TR1 to fix it, no sense having someone transported and their molecules being scattered in a million pieces.

Host AMB_Auples says:
*CTO*:  The head of my government of course.  ::Looks at the console and types in the 'number'::

CSO_Brehgorn says:
::runs a scan for triolic activity during the time of the attack::

CMO_Ravenprowler says:
:: awaits the Captain's approval for transport of the Finotans, and checks to make sure the security teams are in place watching them.:

Host AMB_Hinta_Vreidiri says:
::chuckles coldly:: CO: I will not be leaving, Commander, until my people are safe. The Finotan Government now holds you personally responsible for each and every Fintoan death.  ::sweeps out of the room. leaving a scented trail in his wake::

CNS_Luchena says:
::looks at his bleeding finger and feels a bit faint::

CTO-Duvas says:
::Opens a Comm link on a secure link with scramble channels:: *AMP_Auples*: The com is open.

Host CO_Merced says:
::waves a hand in front of his face trying to dissipate the cloud of perfume left in that wake::

CNS_Luchena says:
::sees Vreidiri and his entourage.  Passes Puufee to an aide::

Host AMB_Hinta_Vreidiri says:
::notices the CNS::

CEO_Jokeg says:
::look at the recordings again, watching the weapons fire::What the....

CNS_Luchena says:
::turns pale::

Host AMB_Auples says:
*CTO*:  Thank you....

Host CO_Merced says:
Self: Lovely...

CMO_Ravenprowler says:
:: leaves her office to preside over Grand Rounds.::

CTO-Duvas says:
::Sends a message to the CO that AMB Auples is making contact with his Government::

Host AMB_Hinta_Vreidiri says:
CNS: What have you done to my little Puufee? ::said in a loud shriek::

CSO_Brehgorn says:
::analyzes traces left by the weapon impacts to ascertain whether or not they did originate from Laquonan battle ships::

CEO_Jokeg says:
*CSO*: Brehgorn this is Jokeg, have you looked over the sensor data?

CNS_Luchena says:
Vreidiri:  I feed and watered it as you requested.

CSO_Brehgorn says:
*CEO* Yes, sir.  I'm continuing to do so.

Host CO_Merced says:
::taps badge:: *CSO* Lieutenant Brehgorn.  Do you have anything to report?

Host AMB_Hinta_Vreidiri says:
::grabs Puufee from the inferior being::

CSO_Brehgorn says:
*CO* Yes, sir.

CNS_Luchena says:
::is so relieved to be rid of the smelly beast::

FCO_Doole says:
*CO*: Sensors have picked up an unknown propulsion pattern in the area of attack.

CSO_Brehgorn says:
*CO* Shall I enter the ready room?

CEO_Jokeg says:
*CSO*: Did you happen to notice that the weapons fire performed a phase shift?

Host CO_Merced says:
*CSO* Come to my ready room when you are ready.

CSO_Brehgorn says:
*CEO* I picked up the same information, sir.

CSO_Brehgorn says:
CTO:  Please accompany me to the Ready Room.

Host AMB_Auples says:
COMM: StarLeague: Governor, I am calling you to inform you of the current situation I find myself in.  ::Voice sounds pained::  Along with the Finotan ambassador... ::Informs them of the ships and the situation, not to mention all the Finotan ships that showed up shortly after they had...::

Host AMB_Hinta_Vreidiri says:
CNS: You have allowed him to feed off schedule! He is allowed no blood during the Tinoyhth Period!

Host CO_Merced says:
*FCO* Report to my ready room.

CSO_Brehgorn says:
::rings the "doorbell" to the ready room::

CTO-Duvas says:
::Nods to the CSO:: CSO: Aye.

CEO_Jokeg says:
::nods, turning the logs off again::

CMO_Ravenprowler says:
:: peruses a Patient chart as the MO presents the case very unhappy with the admission note and the history and physical that is currently in the chart.::

Host CO_Merced says:
Door: Come.

CTO-Duvas says:
::Follows behind the CSO to the Ready room::

CSO_Brehgorn says:
::enters the ready room:: CO: CSO Brehgorn, reporting as ordered, sir.

CNS_Luchena says:
::wants very badly to punch the Ambassador but doesn't::  Vreidiri:  Going to your quarters, are we?  ::gestures for the two security guys to move in::

Host AMB_Hinta_Vreidiri says:
::calls his aide immediately:: Aide: Get Puufee an antidote quickly. We must not allow him to poison himself!

CTO-Duvas says:
::Enters the Ready room::

Host CO_Merced says:
CSO/CTO: ::offering them the chairs, taking a seat behind his desk:: What do you have for me gentlemen?

FCO_Doole says:
::gets up at crosses to ready room in two steps and rings chime::

CSO_Brehgorn says:
CO:  We've found data that shows that a torpedo was fired that did not impact the shields before hitting the hull...

Host CO_Merced says:
Door: Come.

CMO_Ravenprowler says:
:: scowls at the MO as she moves on to the next case, letting him know of her displeasure.::

FCO_Doole says:
::enters ready room::

Host CO_Merced says:
CSO: Did not impact the shields?  Did it detonate prematurely?

Host CO_Merced says:
::offers the FCO a seat with a gesture::

CSO_Brehgorn says:
CO: Negative sir.  It detonated on the hull, but passed through the shields like a ghost.

Host AMB_Hinta_Vreidiri says:
::looks down his long nose:: CNS: I think not. You have poisoned my pet and probably yourself in the process. Puufee must receive proper medical care. Take me to your sickbay immediately!

CTO-Duvas says:
CO_Merced: I concur. It looks as though the torpedo passed through the shields like it had already known the frequency of the shield harmonics.

CNS_Luchena says:
*CMO*:  Ambassador incoming.  Vreidiri:  Follow me.  ::enters TL::

CSO_Brehgorn says:
CO:  This torpedo was operating in a phase shift, but no evidence of triolic activity, which would suggest Devidian involvement, was found.  Analysis confirmed that the torpedo indeed was fired from a Laquonan battleship.

Host AMB_Hinta_Vreidiri says:
::sweeps in after the CNS::

Host CO_Merced says:
::ponders that::  CSO/CTO: Okay.  How would they know the exact frequency?

CMO_Ravenprowler says:
*CNS* : Acknowledged, what is the nature of the emergency?:

CNS_Luchena says:
TL:  Sickbay.  ::tries to not think about the poisoning him comment::

FCO_Doole says:
CO: ::sitting down:: (repeating) Sensors have picked up an unknown propulsion pattern in the area of attack.  Also while manning the OPS terminal there was an incoming Comm from the Finotan Battleship that I haven't answered yet

Host AMB_Auples says:
::Nods, listening to the fact that this was the first they had heard of it and for him to keep his eyes open, after all, they were dealing with the Finotan who were capable of anything.::

CTO-Duvas says:
CO_Merced: They could have someone spying. But that is just a guess.

CEO_Jokeg says:
:;leaves his office walking around ME, watching his department hard at work::

Host AMB_Hinta_Vreidiri says:
::taps a foot impatiently::

CNS_Luchena says:
*CMO*:  His pet bit me.  The ambassador is concerned that his pet may get ill from the experience.

CSO_Brehgorn says:
CO:  They could have had an informant, or perhaps they have developed a weapon that uses time shifts to render shields useless.

Host CO_Merced says:
::blinks::  FCO: Go answer it then.  I should be finished here later.

CNS_Luchena says:
::feeling more than a bit faint, and looks pale and sweaty::

Host AMB_Hinta_Vreidiri says:
::coos to his pet::

Host CO_Merced says:
CSO: Like the chronometric torpedoes reported in use by Voyager in the Delta Quadrant?

Host AMB_Auples says:
::nods and shuts down the communication... Vreidiri or engineering...::  Like that is hard decision.  ::Heads for engineering.::

CMO_Ravenprowler says:
*CNS*: We do not treat pets in Sickbay.  I suggest you divert the animal to the veterinary clinic and you report to Sickbay.:

CSO_Brehgorn says:
CO: Perhaps, sir.

CNS_Luchena says:
*CMO*:  I'm not up to it at the moment.  We'll be there in a sec and you can tell the Ambassador.

FCO_Doole says:
::walks out and answers hail::  COMM: Finotan Battleship: This is the USS Luna.

CNS_Luchena says:
::exits the TL and heads to Sickbay::

CMO_Ravenprowler says:
ALL:: Get to it people, incoming casualty::

Host AMB_Hinta_Vreidiri says:
::follows briskly::

CTO-Duvas says:
CO_Merced: I suggest we kept this information quiet until we can find out who did this. No sense in having a battle in the area that we are not familiar with.

Host AMB_Auples says:
::Walks into engineering::

Host Chris_N says:
<Vodoa> COMM: Luna: This is Captain Vodoa of the Finotan Battle Group.  Where is your Captain?

CNS_Luchena says:
::enters Sickbay and tries to look around but his vision is getting blurry::

CMO_Ravenprowler says:
:: scans the CNS and puts him onto a biobed with a worried look.::

CSO_Brehgorn says:
CO:  I should add sir, that all evidence points to a deliberate Laquonan attack...I came across nothing that suggests otherwise.

Host AMB_Hinta_Vreidiri says:
::brushes elegantly into the room::

CMO_Ravenprowler says:
CNS: What bit you?:

FCO_Doole says:
COMM: Finotan Battleship: He is a little busy at the moment.

Host AMB_Hinta_Vreidiri says:
All: Who is in charge here? ::sniffs as he surveys the dismal little room::

Host AMB_Auples says:
::Walks off to the side, so as not to be so notable and makes note of everything his eyes can land upon.::

Host CO_Merced says:
CSO: But do the Laquonans have the technology for what we have discussed there?

CNS_Luchena says:
::gratefully passes out::

CTO-Duvas says:
::Looks to the CSO::

Host Chris_N says:
<Vodoa> COMM: Luna: Then please inform him I need to speak with him immediately.

Host AMB_Hinta_Vreidiri says:
All: I demand assistance at once!

CSO_Brehgorn says:
CO:  Insufficient records to draw any conclusion, sir.  But I wouldn't consider outside assistance totally inconceivable.

CMO_Ravenprowler says:
::Turns and places a level 5 containment around the Ambassador

Host AMB_Hinta_Vreidiri says:
::places Puufee down upon the nearest biobed::

FCO_Doole says:
COMM:  Finotan Battleship: Who is this that I am speaking with?

Host AMB_Hinta_Vreidiri says:
::looks coldly at the CMO::

Host AMB_Auples says:
::Picks up an interesting gadget and 'kind of walks off with it'.::

Host CO_Merced says:
CSO/CTO:  Okay.  Continue analysis.  Determine for certain how the shields were penetrated.  WE aren't going to keep the laquonan connection quiet, but hopefully we can stay ahead of the knowledge curve.

CTO-Duvas says:
CO_Merced: We should discuss our finding with both ambassador. in a more secure area like at the Starbase.

CSO_Brehgorn says:
CO:  If you'll permit a degree of speculation, we do know that Devidians are noted for their mastery of time phase technology...and we did have that visitor early in the mission.

CSO_Brehgorn says:
CO: Aye, sir ::exits ready room::

Host AMB_Hinta_Vreidiri says:
*CO*: This is Ambassador Vreidiri. A moment of your time please?

CMO_Ravenprowler says:
:: scans the pet ::

CTO-Duvas says:
::Stands and exits the Ready room behind the CSO::

CMO_Ravenprowler says:
Ambassador : what is that creature?::

CSO_Brehgorn says:
::mans science, and resumes his scan, trying to determine how the phase-shifted torpedo could have penetrated the freighter’s shield::

Host CO_Merced says:
CSO: That is a possibility.  Keep that in mind as you research.  Also, look up the information on Voyager's chronometric shields, and see if it is adaptable to our needs.

Host AMB_Hinta_Vreidiri says:
::idly watched the CMO::

CTO-Duvas says:
::Moves to his station TAC 1::

Host AMB_Auples says:
::Finds a console rather 'fascinating' and takes notes of it.::

Host CO_Merced says:
*Vreidiri*How may I help you ambassador?

Host AMB_Hinta_Vreidiri says:
CMO: Are you addressing me?

Host Chris_N says:
<Vodoa>  ::anger building as the Federation ship keeps him waiting at a time like this::

CSO_Brehgorn says:
::analyzes data to ascertain whether this particular torpedo uses the same technology as the chronometric torpedoes discovered by the USS Voyager::

Host AMB_Auples says:
::Finds a padd with lots of info on it and decides to use it for taking his notes... more handy.::

CMO_Ravenprowler says:
::pointedly ignores the ambassador and leave the isolation field up, turns her attention to the CNS, administering a general antidote for the poison.::

Host AMB_Hinta_Vreidiri says:
*CO&: It seems s if your CMO has decided to contain me in her little lab. I must protest officially, as your CNS has approximately 5 minutes before irreversible cellular damage is attained.

Host CO_Merced says:
*FCO* Lieutenant.  What came of that comm from the Finotans?

CNS_Luchena says:
::still unconscious::

CTO-Duvas says:
::Notes that an incoming Comm signal is standing for the CO:: *CO*: You have in incoming comm from the Finottan Battle ship. A Captain Vodoa.

Host AMB_Hinta_Vreidiri says:
::continues:: *CO*: Should Puufee die, so shall the strange little man.

Host CO_Merced says:
*Vreidiri* I have full confidence in my Medical Chief's abilities and decisions.  If she put you in a containment field, there is sure a good reason.

Host AMB_Auples says:
::Politely talks to an engineering who is more then happy to show him about the place, telling him all about things.::

Host CO_Merced says:
*CTO* Put it through, please.  ::sighs::

Host Chris_N says:
<Vodoa> COMM: Luna: I repeat.  I need to speak with your Commanding Officer IMMEDIATELY.

CNS_Luchena says:
<2 security officers>::catch up to Auples::

Host AMB_Hinta_Vreidiri says:
*CO*: As Puufee's poison has never been documented by the Federation, I fail to see how she'll save the CNS. But if you insist.............

CMO_Ravenprowler says:
Ambassador Vreidiri : What is the antidote for this creature’s venom? taps her COMM badge and calls for a vet.::

Host CO_Merced says:
COMM: Vodoa: This is Captain Merced.  How can I help you Captain?

CNS_Luchena says:
<Security officer>:  Auples:  I believe you were to stay in your quarters.  Come with us please.

Host Chris_N says:
ACTION: The counsellor’s bio-signatures begin to drop rapidly

FCO_Doole says:
CO: The Finotan that seems to be in charge..a Vodoa wants to speak with you.

Host AMB_Hinta_Vreidiri says:
::looks down his nose::

Host CO_Merced says:
*FCO* I have him now lieutenant.  Thank you.

Host Chris_N says:
<Vodoa> COMM: Luna: My men have discovered something interesting on the sensor logs of our freighter.

CTO-Duvas says:
<Security officer1> AMB_Auples: Sir. Will you please empty your pockets. ::Standing in front of the ABM::

Host AMB_Hinta_Vreidiri says:
CNS: Drop the field and give Puufee this.

CMO_Ravenprowler says:
:: drops the field from the Ambassador ::

Host AMB_Auples says:
::'Records' everything that he is told, asking pertinent questions as he goes, his  mood definitely improving since coming upon Vreidiri... the mood changes as the security officer steps in front of him.::

Host AMB_Auples says:
Security:  You want me to do what?

CTO-Duvas says:
::Security officer 2: ::Takes his position behind the AMB::

CSO_Brehgorn says:
CTO: Just to be on the safe side, it may be wise to formulate a shield modulation that compensates for the phase shift displayed by our phantom torpedo here...you never know when things might get hairy.

Host CO_Merced says:
COMM: Vodoa:  What would that be Captain? ::all innocence::

CMO_Ravenprowler says:
:: nods to the security team to keep a watch on the ambassador.::

Host AMB_Hinta_Vreidiri says:
::nods in satisfaction::

CNS_Luchena says:
<security officer>: Auples: return to your quarters.  ::both step closer to Auples::

CTO-Duvas says:
CSO_Brehgorn: Aye.

Host Chris_N says:
<Vodoa> COMM: Luna: It seems the Laquona are not satisfied with peace.  They were the ones behind this attack.  We have also intercepted a outgoing message from your ship...  It was from a Laquona Ambassador.

CMO_Ravenprowler says:
Ambassador Vrendiri :: WHAT is the antidote?

CTO-Duvas says:
<Security Officer 1>: You have taken things that do not belong to you. Please empty your pockets.

Host AMB_Hinta_Vreidiri says:
::stands up and sweeps from the room, pausing momentarily at the door. CMO: Give the strange little man a glass of what humans refer to as Cola. I will be in my quarters, if needed. Hands Puufee to a startled SEC guard and departs::

Host AMB_Auples says:
Security:  I have done nothing to "Impeded" your crew.  I am not a prisoner to be placed in my quarters at a whim.  Unless you have some claim... ::eyes the officer.::

Host Chris_N says:
<Vodoa> COMM: Luna: We demand you turn him over to us for war crimes

Host AMB_Auples says:
::Looks at Security 1::  I have done no such thing.

CMO_Ravenprowler says:
:: pulls out a cola and forces it down the CNS::

Host AMB_Hinta_Vreidiri says:
::enters the TL::

CNS_Luchena says:
::gags::

CTO-Duvas says:
<Security officer 1> Shall I play back the last 10 minuets of your tour to you and point out the things you picked up?

Host CO_Merced says:
COMM: Vodoa:  Captain, surely you must know I cannot do that, however much I may be agreeable to the idea personally.

Host Chris_N says:
ACTION: With great surprise to the medical team, the Cola seems to have a minimal effect on the poison

CMO_Ravenprowler says:
:: places a level 5 containment around the creature::

CNS_Luchena says:
::apparently does not regain consciousness::

Host AMB_Auples says:
Security:  Feel free to do so.

CMO_Ravenprowler says:
:: drops an NG tube and pumps the cola into the CNS's stomach ::

CNS_Luchena says:
::convulses::

CSO_Brehgorn says:
::works with the CTO to develop a shield modulation which compensates for phase shift variations::

Host AMB_Hinta_Vreidiri says:
::arrives in his quarters::

Host Chris_N says:
<Vodoa> COMM: Luna: I think you can agree, you are out gunned and in territory held by the Laquona Star League.  You have 15 minutes.  ::closes the Comm::

CTO-Duvas says:
<Security officer 1> ::Moves to a console and plays back the 10 minutes point out the padd and tool the AMB picked up:: Now if you will please turn them over nothing will be said and you will be escorted back to your quarters.

CTO-Duvas says:
::Works with the CSO::

Host CO_Merced says:
::sighs at the blank screen::

CMO_Ravenprowler says:
:: gives the CNS pavulon and monitor vitals.::

CNS_Luchena says:
::relaxes but remains unconscious::

Host CO_Merced says:
*CNS* Counselor, can you bring the ambassadors to the observation lounge?

CSO_Brehgorn says:
::having developed the shield modulation, returns to analysis of the freighter::

Host AMB_Hinta_Vreidiri says:
::sighs and sits down::

Host AMB_Auples says:
::Eyes the security officer and pulls the tool out of his pocket::  This thing?  tosses it onto the console.  It is nothing.  As for the Padd, I have been taking notes on it.  Notes which are none or YOUR business.

Host AMB_Hinta_Vreidiri says:
*CMO*: Has the little man revived yet?

CNS_Luchena says:
::hears a comm but is too unconscious too answer it.  Wants to with all his heart, though::

CMO_Ravenprowler says:
*CO* : Sir the CNS is unconscious in Sickbay, the Ambassador is not here.

CTO-Duvas says:
<Security Officer 1> AMB_Auples: You can download the data into the computer, but I must insist you return the padd.

Host CO_Merced says:
*CMO*  How is he?

FCO_Doole says:
::rings door chime to ready room::

Host AMB_Hinta_Vreidiri says:
::shrugs and buffs his nails::

Host CO_Merced says:
Door: Come.

Host AMB_Auples says:
:Eyes the man::  Security:  Why would I down load MY notes into YOUR computer?

CMO_Ravenprowler says:
*CO*: Sir, I am attempting to bring him around now, suggest we quarantine the pet of the Ambassador before anyone else is affected by being bitten.:

Host AMB_Hinta_Vreidiri says:
*CMO*: This is Ambassador Vreidri. Has the strange little fellow revived yet?

FCO_Doole says:
::enters:: CO: Were all the previous attacks were on Finotan ships?

CTO-Duvas says:
<Security Officer 1>: AMB_Auples: Your files or notes will be encrypted and no one will read them. I assure of that.

Host CO_Merced says:
*CMO* Agreed.  Contact security if you need assistance.

CNS_Luchena says:
::thinks he hears voices nearby but it could only be his fevered imaginings::

Host CO_Merced says:
::smiles::  FCO: Have you looked at the data?

FCO_Doole says:
CO: You also look worried. What's up?  What data?

Host AMB_Auples says:
Security:  This is pure nonsense, but if it will get you out of my hair, so be it.  I will down load the information...

CTO-Duvas says:
<Security Officer 1>: AMB_Auples: Thank you for being cooperative Ambassador.

CMO_Ravenprowler says:
::ignores the Ambassador, and continues to treat the CNS,  analyzing the components of the venom in HIS system.

Host AMB_Auples says:
::Ignores the security officer, thanks the engineer for his assistance, then turns to leave for his quarters.::

Host CO_Merced says:
::waves off the concern:: FCO: Everything will work as it will.  As for your previous question, the answer is no.  They were on federation ships.  Which leads me to believe these are not as related as we may have thought at first.

Host AMB_Hinta_Vreidiri says:
::idly wonders if the CNS hair has fallen out yet::

CTO-Duvas says:
<Security Officer 1>: Computer: Download all notes on this padd and encrypt for AMB Auples. Transfer files to his quarters.

Host CO_Merced says:
::stands and heads to the bridge::

Host AMB_Hinta_Vreidiri says:
*CO*: Commander?

CMO_Ravenprowler says:
Computer :: analyze venom strain in CNS sample one now and provide antidote.::

CTO-Duvas says:
<Security Officer 2>: ::Escorts the AMB_Auples back to his quarters::

Host CO_Merced says:
*Vreidiri* Ambassador, I would like you to join me in the observation lounge immediately.

CSO_Brehgorn says:
*CO* Captain....I've found something quite significant.

Host AMB_Auples says:
::Arrives at his quarters and pulls out some data equipment of his own.  Connecting the two downloads from the padd.::

FCO_Doole says:
CO: So what did Vodoa want anyway?

Host CO_Merced says:
CTO: Ensign, have Auplues brought to the observation lounge shortly.

Host CO_Merced says:
CSO: What is that Lieutenant?

CTO-Duvas says:
CO_Merced: Aye sir.

CMO_Ravenprowler says:
:: the computer beeps the antidote configuration and replicates a dose for the CNS's race, weight, and blood type.::

Host AMB_Auples says:
::Locks in the data with his codes and hands the cleaned padd to the security officer.::  Security:  Completed.  Now, if I might continue about as a GUEST of this vessel?

CTO-Duvas says:
*Security Team 1*: Please escort AMB Auples to the Observation lounge.

CSO_Brehgorn says:
CO: According to sensor logs from the Finotan freighter, the lifeforms aboard the Laquonan ships do not match the readings I gather from the Laquonan ambassador aboard the Luna...the attackers were of a different race entirely.

Host AMB_Hinta_Vreidiri says:
*CO*: Certainly, my good man. A moment of your time? It seems that your CMO does not want to save your CNS......

CMO_Ravenprowler says:
:: administers the antidote to the CNS, and awaits the result.::

Host CO_Merced says:
::smiles genuinely for the first time:: CSO: Good.  Maybe we can salvage the situation.

CTO-Duvas says:
<Security Team 1> *CTO*: Aye sir. ::Chimes the Door to AMB Auples quarters::

Host CO_Merced says:
CSO: Are you sure of this?

Host AMB_Auples says:
::Opens the door to security officer 1::

CSO_Brehgorn says:
CO:  Absolutely sir. ::shows a comparison of the two races on the main view screen.::

Host AMB_Hinta_Vreidiri says:
::heads to the meeting, stopping to retrieve the urine sample from Puufee::

Host Chris_N says:
<Vodoa> COMM: Luna: Captain Vodoa to Federation vessel.  Please respond.

Host CO_Merced says:
::observes the data, seeing the clear differences::  CSO: Can you identify the race?

CSO_Brehgorn says:
::tries to run a match of the race to anything in the databanks::

CTO-Duvas says:
<Security Officer 1> AMB_Auples: The CO would like to meet with you in the Observation lounge. If you will just follow me please.

FCO_Doole says:
COMM: Captain Vodoa. This is the Luna

CSO_Brehgorn says:
CO: Standby, sir.

CMO_Ravenprowler says:
:: sees the CNS's hands begin to move::

CTO-Duvas says:
CO_Merced: Weapons have just come on line in the Finotian Battle ship.

Host CO_Merced says:
::takes a deep breath::

Host AMB_Auples says:
Security:  The captain?  About time.  Lead on man.

CSO_Brehgorn says:
CO: Negative sir...no records of this race in our databanks.

Host CO_Merced says:
CTO: Raise shields, but keep up at yellow alert.

CNS_Luchena says:
::slowly opens his eyes::

CTO-Duvas says:
<Security team 1>: ::Leads the way::

Host CO_Merced says:
CSO: Nothing even close?

Host Chris_N says:
COMM: Luna:  Have you decided your course of action Luna?

CTO-Duvas says:
CO_Merced: Aye sir. ::Raises shields::

CSO_Brehgorn says:
CO: Negative, sir.

Host CO_Merced says:
::sighs::  CSO: But the sensor data is solid?

CSO_Brehgorn says:
CO: Yes, sir.

FCO_Doole says:
COMM: Vodoa: Course of action?

Host AMB_Auples says:
::Follows, his eyes constantly in motion.::

Host CO_Merced says:
CSO: Prepare a report.  Have it ready in five minutes.

CSO_Brehgorn says:
CO: Aye, sir.

CNS_Luchena says:
::tries to sit up, but feels dizzy and lays back down::

CMO_Ravenprowler says:
:: strokes the CNS's forehead, glad that he is revived.::

FCO_Doole says:
COMM Vodoa: Ahhh...Yes...You are referring to the Ambassador.  What War Crimes has he committed.

Host Chris_N says:
<Vodoa> COMM: Luna: Have you decided to turn over the Ambassador?

CTO-Duvas says:
CO_Merced: AMB Auples is on his way to the Observation lounge as requested.

CNS_Luchena says:
CMO:  What happened?

CMO_Ravenprowler says:
:: glowers darkly at the CNS to stay down and that is an order.::

Host AMB_Auples says:
::Enters the Observation lounge and looks around for the captain.::

CMO_Ravenprowler says:
CNS: You were bitten by that horrid little creature Puufee, we have given you the antidote but it will be a while before you are up and around.:

Host AMB_Hinta_Vreidiri says:
::enters a short while after::

Host CO_Merced says:
CTO: Thank you.  CSO: I will be expecting you in the lounge as soon as you have that report.

CNS_Luchena says:
CMO:  Antidote?  Is it poisonous?

FCO_Doole says:
COMM: Vodoa: For What?

Host CO_Merced says:
FCO: Contact the Finotan Captain and route the call to the lounge.

Host AMB_Hinta_Vreidiri says:
::hands the CMO a vial:: CO: Your little man will need this, Commander.

Host Chris_N says:
<Vodoa> COMM: Luna: Turn him over or we will take the necessary steps.  We also want our citizens back now.

CSO_Brehgorn says:
CO: Aye, sir.

Host CO_Merced says:
::leaves the bridge for the lounge::

Host AMB_Auples says:
::Looks at Vreidiri::  To make a bad encounter worse.  ::walks over to the window.::

CTO-Duvas says:
*CO_Merced*: Shall I have the ship positioned to a defensive position if they attack?

Host CO_Merced says:
FCO: You have the bridge.

Host CO_Merced says:
CTO: They shouldn't as long as we have their ambassador.

CMO_Ravenprowler says:
:: puts on gloves before she accepts the vial and immediately secures it.::

Host CO_Merced says:
::enters lounge::  All Ambs: Gentlemen.  I am glad you were both able to join me.

FCO_Doole says:
COMM: Vodoa: I'm going to route you through to the Captain in our  Observation Lounge. ::routes comm::

Host AMB_Hinta_Vreidiri says:
::leaves the room with a sniff::

Host AMB_Auples says:
::Turns to look at the captain.::

FCO_Doole says:
::sits in command chair::

Host AMB_Hinta_Vreidiri says:
::arrived just before the CO::

Host Chris_N says:
<Vodoa> COMM: Luna: About time.  ::hates speaking to underlings::

CMO_Ravenprowler says:
:: Growls audibly at the Ambassador and wishes she could meet that patak on the field of battle.::

Host AMB_Hinta_Vreidiri says:
::glances at the slug::

Host CO_Merced says:
::nods to the viewscreen as it shows the Finotan Captain:: COMM: Vodoa: Captain, I apologize for the wait.

Host AMB_Auples says:
::Eyes narrow, wondering what is going on.::

CMO_Ravenprowler says:
Computer:: Analyze vial 251 molecular and cellular scans.::

Host Chris_N says:
<Vodoa> COMM: Luna: Sees the various people on his screen noting the vile scum of the Star League::

Host CO_Merced says:
AMBS/Vodoa: We have not completed the investigation, but have some data you may all be interested in.

Host AMB_Auples says:
::Listens::

CSO_Brehgorn says:
::enters the lounge and sees the assembly, wonders if eh should turn around and wait to give his report at a better time::

Host Chris_N says:
<Vodoa> ::looks genuinely interested::  COMM: Luna: Go on Captain.

Host CO_Merced says:
AMBS/Vodoa: As the Captain is aware, the attack was perpetrated by Laquonan vessels.

Host AMB_Auples says:
All:  It most certainly was not....

Host Chris_N says:
<Vodoa> ::nods knowingly... wondering about the new part::

FCO_Doole says:
CTO: Keep us at yellow alert, but standby to go to red alert if necessary

Host AMB_Hinta_Vreidiri says:
::waits::

CTO-Duvas says:
FCO_Doole: Aye.

Host AMB_Auples says:
All:  My government has nothing to do with breaking any treaties.  We leave that to them. ::Points at Vreidiri::

CSO_Brehgorn says:
::having not been ordered to leave, listens intently to the CO's debriefing::

Host CO_Merced says:
Auples: Forgive me ambassador, but sensor data from the freighter clearly shows it was.  AMBS/Vodoa:  Further investigation brought forth another facet in this mystery though.  ::gestures to the CSO::  My Science Chief, Lt. Brehgorn, will explain.

Host AMB_Auples says:
::Face turns Red in anger, but holds his peace for the moment.::

Host Chris_N says:
<Vodoa> ::looks to the image of the CSO on his screen::

FCO_Doole says:
CSO: Give me a sensor sweep and report of the area 2000 kilometer diameter range from out current position.

Host AMB_Hinta_Vreidiri says:
::glares at the worm and doesn't deign to answer::

CSO_Brehgorn says:
All:  Gentlemen. ::nods, and calls up a display showing the difference between Laquonans and the species found aboard the attacking ships::

CMO_Ravenprowler says:
:: finds the vial contains nothing more that has already been given to the CNS and sends the vial to the lab to be logged and uploaded into the ship's data base.::

CSO_Brehgorn says:
All:  Evidence clearly shows that those who perpetrated the attack on the Finotan freighter were not Laquonan, though their ships indeed were.

Host Chris_N says:
<Vodoa> ::studies the display then looks a might shocked::

CSO_Brehgorn says:
All: The attackers displayed phase shift technology in their torpedoes, and, furthermore, the ability, whether through intelligence or technology, to launch a torpedo through shields.

CSO_Brehgorn says:
All:  Similarities between this attack and recent attacks on Federation shuttles is minimal, specifically in that the crew of the Finotan Freighters were not kidnapped.

CSO_Brehgorn says:
All: Gentlemen, I believe we have a mutual enemy.

Host Chris_N says:
<Vodoa> COMM: Luna: But everyone knows the Laquonan scum "acquire" technology wherever they can

CMO_Ravenprowler says:
:: monitors the CNS's vitals and pulls the NG, decides to  place a line for prophylaxis and leaves an MO at bedside::

Host CO_Merced says:
COMM: Vodoa: Technology, yes, but pilots?  I doubt it.

CSO_Brehgorn says:
::realizes he should probably not draw conclusions, and yields the floor back to the CO::

CNS_Luchena says:
MO:  Could I have something to drink?

Host AMB_Auples says:
::Relaxes at the CSO's words, ignoring the Finotan.::

Host AMB_Hinta_Vreidiri says:
CSO: You deny they have attacked us? I must protest!

CMO_Ravenprowler says:
::Taps her COMM badge, Computer locate Ambassador Vrendiri.::

FCO_Doole says:
SO I. M. Curiosity: Give me a sensor sweep and report of the area 2000 kilometer diameter range from out current position.

Host CO_Merced says:
Vreidiri: We deny nor confirm anything sir.  We are simply presenting the data as it has been revealed.

CSO_Brehgorn says:
Vreidiri:  As a scientist, I have to believe what the best evidence suggests, and all evidence suggests that your freighter was NOT attacked by Laquonans.

Host Chris_N says:
<Vodoa> ::slumps back in his chair not willing to accept it fully::  COMM: Luna: Then who would want to impersonate the Laquonans and why?  Not only that, why would the "happen" to attack one of our ships after a long war?

Host AMB_Auples says:
::Mutters::  What else is new...

CNS_Luchena says:
::coughs::

Host Chris_N says:
<Computer> Ambassador Vreidiri is in the Observation Lounge

Host AMB_Hinta_Vreidiri says:
::glares at the little beast:: CO: Then they are paying someone else to do their dirty work!

CMO_Ravenprowler says:
:: heads out of Sickbay for the Lounge ::

Host CO_Merced says:
AMBS/Vodoa:  Unfortunately, I know less of this region, and it's politics than any of you, so I am ill equipped to answer that question.

Host CO_Merced says:
::turns to the lieutenant::  CSO: Thank you.  Return to your post.

Host Chris_N says:
<Vodoa> COMM: Luna: Then if you'll return our civilians from the freighter and our Ambassador, we'll return him to homeworld for further debriefing

Host AMB_Hinta_Vreidiri says:
CO: This is a travesty!

CSO_Brehgorn says:
CO: Aye, sir. ::nods to the assembly and exits the Lounge::

CNS_Luchena says:
<SO_Curiousity>FCO:  Nothing out of the ordinary from the sensor sweep, Sir.

CSO_Brehgorn says:
::resumes post at science station::

CMO_Ravenprowler says:
:: exits the lift and enters the lounge with  authority befitting the Chief of Medicine.::

Host AMB_Auples says:
::Thinks the Finotan Ambassador more of a travesty::

FCO_Doole says:
SO Curiosity: Thank you.

Host CO_Merced says:
COMM: Vodoa:  We will do so, you'll forgive me, after you have powered down your weapons Captain.

Host AMB_Auples says:
CSO:  May I see the data you have acquired?

Host AMB_Hinta_Vreidiri says:
::waves his perfumed hankie in agitation::

FCO_Doole says:
SO-Curiosity: Keep that sweep going, in case something does show up.

Host Chris_N says:
<Vodoa> ::nods at the captain, then at some off screen officer before both the weapons and shield systems drop on his ship::

CNS_Luchena says:
<SO_Curiousity>  ::sees the CSO return and takes a bathroom break::

Host AMB_Auples says:
::Notes the man has gone.::  *CSO*:  May I see your data?

CMO_Ravenprowler says:
:: walks over and stands behind her Captain.::

Host CO_Merced says:
COMM: Vodoa: Thank you Captain, we will arrange transport shortly.

CNS_Luchena says:
::falls into an uneasy sleep::

CSO_Brehgorn says:
*AMB* All data from my debriefing is available on your console, Ambassador.

Host AMB_Hinta_Vreidiri says:
::looks at the primitive woman and sniffs very disdainfully::

Host AMB_Auples says:
*CSO*:  Thank you.

CTO-Duvas says:
CSO_Brehgorn: Have we done a Tachyon sweep of the area. This will detect any time shifts in the area.

Host AMB_Auples says:
::Walks over to the briefing table and pulls up the data.  As he reads it, his brow furrows deeply.::  Not possible...

Host Chris_N says:
<Vodoa> ::nods back at the CO::  COMM: Luna: I thank you again for saving our civilians.  If you ever need assistance Captain....

CSO_Brehgorn says:
CTO:  No we have not.  Feel free to initiate the sweep.

Host CO_Merced says:
COMM: Vodoa:  It has been a pleasure meeting you Captain.  Luna out. ::closes comm::

Host AMB_Hinta_Vreidiri says:
CO: So, where do we go from here, Commander?

Host CO_Merced says:
::turns to the Ambassadors:: AMBS: Ambassador Vreidiri, if you would care to join your 'entourage' and prepare for transport.

CTO-Duvas says:
::Initiates a Tachyon scan of the area::

FCO_Doole says:
CSO: I just had SO Curiosity give me a sensor sweep and report of the area 2000 kilometer diameter range from out current position.  Nothing yet. I would like you to keep that sweep going, in case something does show up.

CMO_Ravenprowler says:
:: hands the Captain a PADD with a formal protest of harm sustained by a Star Fleet officer at the hands of Ambassador Vrendiri, and steps back.::

Host AMB_Auples says:
::Looks up at Vreidiri::

Host CO_Merced says:
Auples: Ambassador Auples, we will take you back to DS21 where you may make your own arrangements.

CSO_Brehgorn says:
FCO: Of course ::continues where SO Curiosity left off::

Host AMB_Hinta_Vreidiri says:
::looks at  Auples::

Host AMB_Hinta_Vreidiri says:
::sighs and stands::

Host CO_Merced says:
::accepts the PADD:: CMO: Doctor, the patients are ready for release?

Host AMB_Auples says:
::Looks at the captain, deep in thought.::  CO:  Thank you... that will be acceptable.

CMO_Ravenprowler says:
:: taps her COMM badge and arranges for all injured to be transported  and nods to the CO.::

Host AMB_Hinta_Vreidiri says:
CO: I will be filing a formal protest about my treatment, Commander. But....the Finotan people thank you.

Host CO_Merced says:
CMO:  Good.  ::follows the ambassadors out of the lounge and steps onto the bridge::  FCO: Report.

Host CO_Merced says:
Vreidiri:  They are most welcome, Ambassador.

Host Chris_N says:
ACTION: On the main viewscreen, some of the bridge crew notes a dark shape pass between the Luna and a distant Nebula before disappearing against the black background of space again

Host AMB_Hinta_Vreidiri says:
::sweeps from the room::

CMO_Ravenprowler says:
:: follows behind her Captain, looking in disgust at the Ambassador as she leaves.::

CSO_Brehgorn says:
::continues scans of the area, finding nothing unusual::

Host AMB_Hinta_Vreidiri says:
::nods at the Toad:: AMB: Until the next time.......

CNS_Luchena says:
::having a nightmare::

Host CO_Merced says:
::frowns at the screen:: CSO: What was that?

Host AMB_Auples says:
::Prepares a report for his government on the possibility of legends not being legends anymore....::

Host AMB_Auples says:
Vreidiri:  Of course....

FCO_Doole says:
CO: still at yellow alert. Had SO Curiosity do a sensor sweep 2000 kilos diameter out from current position. Nothing yet.  CSO is continuing sweep

CSO_Brehgorn says:
CO: Unsure, sir. ::begins trying to analyze that anomaly::
