Host Adm_Harlan says:
Synopsis:  The Nighthawk on SB 113, a base where no one is supposed to know of the arrival of the ship, has finished its Baryon sweep, cleaning the ship to make it completely visible.  Meanwhile, the crew takes care of themselves.  One group finding themselves involved with an angry parent of one of the dead cadets...

Host Adm_Harlan says:
Another parent weeps in the lounge waiting to speak with the Nighthawks command crew, wanting answers.  Admiral Harlan patiently waits for the CO and XO while the doctors finish with them.

Host Adm_Harlan says:
As the Baryon sweep finished, the XO sent OPS aboard to check some things out.  Unbeknownst to all, others have gotten aboard just as the Baryon sweep completed.  Shaking the station as the ship breaks from the docking bay, the intruders have made off with the ship.  For some unknown reason, the CSO finds herself in the brig of the ship....

Host Adm_Harlan says:
and OPS heading for the weapons locker as their ship heads for the unknown.

@::Gets in front of the CSO::  COMM: Dot: Now, about my pay.. err ::Slaps the CSO::

OPS_Anderson says:
@::turns it over and opens it up looking at the parts::

S`lyn says:
@::tenses up and turns around when she hears the large thump noise as the CSO's fist hits her boss' stomach::

CNS_Jace says:
CO: Will do sir.

CEO-Exeter says:
::Hands a bit more power to helm control:: XO: that should do it, but if it blows up it isn't mine fault

CMO_Tekla says:
CO: I don’t know,,,,,,,,  if they had just taken the ship, they could destroy it as a sign of vengeance.

Host Dot says:
%::Growls::  Qualk:  Go easy with her.

XO_Sheridan says:
CEO: If we blow up, you're fired John.

Qualk says:
@Com: Dot: What about my pay!!

S`lyn says:
@::nods and thinks: That will show her for getting out of line::

CMO_Tekla says:
CO: The fact that two of our crew may be aboard and the CSO was taken by force means that they may have other plans.......

Host CO_Cerdan says:
CEO: Mr. Naug Can you give me any more speed. We need to catch them before they reach the badlands

Host Dot says:
%Qualk:  You will get it as soon as we meet up.  And I don't want any damaged goods.

CSO_Matisse says:
@::Drops to her knee in pain:: Qualk: Whispers: you will pay for that.....

XO_Sheridan says:
::adjusts the attitude pitch slightly::

Qualk says:
@Com: Dot: No problem ::Closes the channel::

Qualk says:
@CSO: Get up.. ::Shouts:: NOW

CEO-Exeter says:
CO: Mr Exeter Could, but then we would blow up and we be space dust

S`lyn says:
@::makes slight course adjustment::

OPS_Anderson says:
@::takes the spanner and applies it to where the Wall and the forcefield meet::  Self: This could take a while

OPS_Anderson says:
@::sits down and gets close to the wall...and holds the spanner next to the Wall and the forcefield::

CSO_Matisse says:
@::Gets up. Looks at Qualk, then spits in his face:: Qualk: you heard him, no damage goods...

Host CO_Cerdan says:
CEO: I think that’s exaggerated, What’s the warp core output?

XO_Sheridan says:
CNS: Counsellor could I see you for a moment?

CMO_Tekla says:
CO: We must be careful as they now have hostages ::Lanz says with a worried expression::

CNS_Jace says:
XO: Of course ma'am..

Host Dot says:
ACTION:  Each time OPS places the spanner, a shock goes through his system, numbing his arm, but the forcefields energy drops.

CNS_Jace says:
::gets up and walks to the XO:: Ma'am?

Host CO_Cerdan says:
CMO: I understand LT.

Qualk says:
@::Wipes his face with his hand slowly:: CSO: Do that again and you are dead

CTO_Black says:
::turns to the Captain::  CO: Captain...maybe we should take another possibility into account as well...

Qualk says:
@CSO: Now sit ::Points at the Captains chair::

CTO_Black says:
CO: As to why the Nighthawk was stolen...

CEO-Exeter says:
CO: Max is warp 8, But I can give you warp 9 for two whole hours, sir

Moark says:
@Qualk: Do that and we won't get paid at all.

CSO_Matisse says:
@Qualk, then you don't get paid...::Goes and sits in the CO's chair::

OPS_Anderson says:
@::places the spanner in his left arm and keeps applying the spanner to the forcefield::  Self: Note to self...thank Exeter

Host CO_Cerdan says:
::Turns to Mr. Black::  CTO: What do you think?

XO_Sheridan says:
::whispers softly:: CNS: Do me a favour and keep a close eye on the Captain. He's under a great deal of stress.

CNS_Jace says:
CO: Yes Ma'am... I'll try to keep that in mind.

Qualk says:
@Moark: Don’t worry, you will get paid.. We can always sell her to the Orions ::Smirks::

OPS_Anderson says:
@::shakes his right arm...to relieve the numbness::

S`lyn says:
@Qualk: Dead?

Host CO_Cerdan says:
CEO: I'll take it Mr. Exeter, That may be all we need

Qualk says:
@S`lyn: No, but stunned

CSO_Matisse says:
::Sits down with a grin, knowing she was safe for now, they wouldn't hurt her, but what about the client::

XO_Sheridan says:
::smiles:: CNS: Oh and watch out for the CEO, he's a bit strange.

Host CO_Cerdan says:
XO: Take us to warp 9

CTO_Black says:
CO: The Nighthawk is still equipped with the experimental enhancements to tactical and engineering systems that control the entire ship once activated....I could imagine that the Ferengi or Romulans would be more then happy to pay a large sum latinum for it...

Moark says:
@self: ::mutters:: but we won't get paid as much as he's offered for her

Host CO_Cerdan says:
CEO: Continue to monitor the warp core out put

XO_Sheridan says:
CO: Captain, that will be a bit dicey. I'm not sure if she can take it for very long.

S`lyn says:
@Qualk: Oh. ::breaths a sigh of relief, would rather not get charged for murder::

CNS_Jace says:
XO: I have noticed...

CEO-Exeter says:
::Warns the engineering crew to be ready for warp 9 and give every 5 minutes progress reports::

OPS_Anderson says:
@::holds the spanner on the forcefield constantly::

Host CO_Cerdan says:
CTO: Understood

Qualk says:
@Moark: Remember, we can always sell this ship as well ::Smirks::

CNS_Jace says:
::nods at the XO and smiles::

Host CO_Cerdan says:
XO: Our chief says she can take a couple hrs

CNS_Jace says:
::Walks back to his station and takes his seat::

S`lyn says:
@::Thinks:: yeah... this is likely to bring in a pretty penny::

CNS_Jace says:
::begins trying long range scans::

CEO-Exeter says:
CO: I can give you 45 minutes extra on top of the 2 hours, sir

Moark says:
@::frowns:: Qualk: and I was starting to like the ship but oh well. ::laughs::

XO_Sheridan says:
::brings the ship to warp nine reluctantly:: CO: Captain, warp 9.

Host CO_Cerdan says:
CEO: Lets hope we won't need it

OPS_Anderson says:
@Self: Come on you stupid forcefield...drop already!!

XO_Sheridan says:
CO: Sir, ETA at present speed is now 2.5 hours.

CSO_Matisse says:
@::Becomes nervous while hearing their discussion::

OPS_Anderson says:
@::feels his left arm going numb::

Host CO_Cerdan says:
XO: With the increase in speed, when will we over take them?

Host Dot says:
ACTION: OPS becomes dizzy, unable to feel his arm.

Qualk says:
@S`lyn: Increase to warp 9.4

Host CO_Cerdan says:
CNS: Scan for any other vessels

XO_Sheridan says:
CO: 2.5 hours Captain

CEO-Exeter says:
::Crosses his fingers and hopes everything will be okay::

CTO_Black says:
::turns back to his console::  Self: Now I only thing I have to do is to find some solid facts that support a theory at this point...  ::sighs softly::

Host CO_Cerdan says:
XO: Very good

OPS_Anderson says:
@Self: Ok...switching arms  ::put the spanner in his right arm and holds it to the forcefield::

Qualk says:
@::Turns to look at the CSO:: CSO: You want some thing to drink or eat?

CMO_Tekla says:
Self:  Joey, fight them all you can but stay alive, I’m coming.....

S`lyn says:
@::increases speed to 9.4:: Qualk: Aye.

CEO-Exeter says:
Self: man, if this ship stays in one part I'll be in the tech manual for sure

Host CO_Cerdan says:
::Stands and moves to centre of bridge::

Host Dot says:
ACTION:  As the Nighthawk increases speed, warning lights blink on the engineering station.

CNS_Jace says:
CO: I won't be able to get a good scan of them until quite a bit of that time has run out, sir.

CSO_Matisse says:
@Qualk: A drink no, but is there anyway I could just go back to the brig...to check up on OPS?

XO_Sheridan says:
CO: You realize that we should get there at just about the same time? I don't know what kind of reception we'll get.

Qualk says:
@CSO: In a few minutes

OPS_Anderson says:
@::holds his head...as the room starts to spin::

CMO_Tekla says:
CO: Permission to take science station?  I have to do something....

S`lyn says:
@::hears the warning beep:: Qualk: Uh... uh-oh.... looks like we may have a problem.

Moark says:
@::goes over to check on the engineering station::

Host CO_Cerdan says:
XO: They had better worry about our reception

Host Dot says:
ACTION:  The Steadfast crew feels the small ships vibrations through it as they speed through the darkness of space, following their ship.

Host CO_Cerdan says:
CMO: Please do

CNS_Jace says:
::fells the ship shakes and shudders::

Qualk says:
@S`lyn: Drop speed to 9.3

XO_Sheridan says:
::smiles wryly:: CO: Yes sir!!!!

S`lyn says:
@::drops warp to 9.3::

CSO_Matisse says:
@::Hangs her head down:: Self: where are you Lanz...I need you

CMO_Tekla says:
CO: Thank you sir.......  ::Moves to science and begins long range scans::

S`lyn says:
@Qualk: Aye.

OPS_Anderson says:
@::looks up at the Brig's door and continues to apply the spanner to the forcefield::

CEO-Exeter says:
Self: just stay in one piece you rust bucket and I'll make sure you get a week off after this!

XO_Sheridan says:
::jiggles a bit in her seat:: Self: Oh boy, just what I need a touchy massage.

CTO_Black says:
::smiles at the Captain's comment::  Self: Very right...they'll be sorry they ever took our ship...

Host Dot says:
ACTION:  The Nighthawks engineering lights continue their warning.

Host CO_Cerdan says:
ALL: Patience, we will get the Nighthawk back

Qualk says:
@Moark: What is going on?

CMO_Tekla says:
CO: and OPS and Joey......  Sorry Lt Matisse......

S`lyn says:
@::looks a touch worried, readies to slow warp even further::

Host CO_Cerdan says:
CEO: Report

OPS_Anderson says:
@::Pulls away from the forcefield as the rooms start to spin faster::

Moark says:
@Qualk: engines overheating

Qualk says:
@Moark: How long can we keep this speed?

Host CO_Cerdan says:
::Looks at Lanz ::CMO: Them as well LT

CEO-Exeter says:
CO: She'll be fine, but I’m not sure about the CEO ,sir!

XO_Sheridan says:
All: Do we have anything on the LRS yet?

S`lyn says:
@::Thinks: Oh great.... engines overheating.... just what we need... why did I not read the manual!?::

Moark says:
@Qualk: not long. Drop back to warp nine

XO_Sheridan says:
::sits there still shaking::

Qualk says:
@S`lyn: You heard the command

OPS_Anderson says:
@::tries to hold his head up...but pokes his eye instead::

S`lyn says:
@::drops to warp 9:: All: Yes I did.

Host Dot says:
ACTION:  OPS finds himself lying down across the small bed.

Host Dot says:
ACTION:  The warning lights on the engineering station of the Nighthawk return to normal.

Moark says:
@::makes a mental note about this for his dream ship and calculates how much longer till he has the money to buy it::

Qualk says:
@CSO: Come, we are going to visit the OPS

OPS_Anderson says:
@Self: Ouch...do not do that again...::realizes he can't feel his arms and lies on the bed::
