Summary
An away team goes to the surface to ‘pick up’ a ‘sample’ of the local population.  They literally run into a teen and then are themselves run into by a non-planetary security officers shortly after the teen is beamed aboard.  The security personnel demand the return of the youth, of which the CTO plays ignorant.  The chief orders them brought in at the same moment OPS, listening in, beams the away team aboard.  One of the security officers, recognizing the attempt fires, hitting the FCO.

On the ship, the MO deals with a worried husband and unhappy CMO while the counselor and operations feed Yalp and contemplate the connection between it and the counselor

OPS_Cmdr_Gomes says:
::on the bridge at the operations console, scanning the planet::
CNS_Cmdr_Varesh says:
::pauses for a moment as the doors slide open onto the bridge, then steps out and sees Alexandra as the only senior officer::
FCO_Rose says:
:: Breathing slightly fast, she slips into the transporter room.::
OPS_Cmdr_Gomes says:
::nods to Varesh as he enters::
MO_Ens_TRae says:
::In the sickbay standing by a bio bed, ready to begin the medical exam, she surveys the tools assembled on the tray beside her and notes that several hypos of sedative are there just in case::
 CTO_LtCmdr_Jackson says:
::Looks around the TR as he has his small but complete kit ready:: All: Alright everyone, ready?
FCO_Rose says:
:: Taking a phaser from the transporter chief, slips it into her belt with a nod.  Then makes her way to the padd.::
CNS_Cmdr_Varesh says:
::smiles at Alexandra and goes to sit in the pilot's chair, after dismissing the officer on duty:: OPS: I haven't sat in this chair in too long.
OPS_Cmdr_Gomes says:
CNS: You don't have to know much, just keep her in orbit. The computer will make the minor adjustments
OPS_Cmdr_Gomes says:
CNS: I'm concerned about the away team's primary objective
 
ACTION:  The MO gets a call from a rather upset Richard, asking him to come to his and Anita's quarters.

OPS_Cmdr_Gomes says:
CNS: Kidnapping someone from a friendly government just to know which species they are. Just isn't the Federation way, or rather, it shouldn't
CNS_Cmdr_Varesh says:
::decides not to mention that he is actually qualified to pilot a starship:: OPS: I must've missed something here, they are doing what?
 CTO_LtCmdr_Jackson says:
::Steps onto the padd, nodding:: SO: Very good.. ::Smiles:: CSO: Ready, lieutenant? ::Looks at G'Dar::
OPS_Cmdr_Gomes says:
CNS: The Klingons from this planet are morphologically diffrent from others
CSO_LtJG_G`Dar says:
::Steps onto the padd wondering what will happen to him this time:: CTO Sure, why not
CNS_Cmdr_Varesh says:
OPS: We have visuals?
MO_Ens_TRae says:
Self: Why now, ::taps her com badge:: Richard: On my way.  ::gives orders to be notified as soon as the subject arrives, and makes her way to Richard and Anita's quarters::
 CTO_LtCmdr_Jackson says:
::Chuckles:: CSO: Worried? ::Smiles at the lieutenant, then turns to the chief:: TR_Chief: Energize.
CSO_LtJG_G`Dar says:
CTO: No just wondering what will happen to me this time.
FCO_Rose says:
:: Looks around Gary at the CSO.::
MO_Ens_TRae says:
*OPS*: I have a medical emergency to attend to, the rest of the sickbay staff have no idea what is about to happen, I would appreciate as much advanced notice as possible before a subject is beamed aboard
OPS_Cmdr_Gomes says:
::nods to the CNS and puts the leader's face on the view screen:: CNS: This is K'Loth, the tribal leader and planet ruler
FCO_Rose says:
CSO:  Has fate always walked so close to you?
OPS_Cmdr_Gomes says:
*MO*Understood. They have just beamed to the planet
CSO_LtJG_G`Dar says:
SO: No its just every time im on an away mission something always happens to me
 
ACTION:  The AT finds them selves beamed into a tight alleyway  The stench is... well, not one would write home about.

CNS_Cmdr_Varesh says:
::studies the face before him:: OPS: And you say they are Klingon? Don't look like no Klingon I've met before.
OPS_Cmdr_Gomes says:
*CTO*Commander, before you proceed, we are having some issues in sickbay. Please inform me when you are ready to stun one of the locals. We will need time to prepare
 CTO_LtCmdr_Jackson says:
@::Frowns:: *OPS*: Understood, thanks for the heads-up commander.. We'll call when we have a suitable target.
MO_Ens_TRae says:
::Arrives at Anita's and Richard's quarters and rings the chime::
FCO_Rose says:
@ :: Her nose wrinkles, tempted to gag, wondering what building they are behind.::
OPS_Cmdr_Gomes says:
CNS: That’s why I asked for advice from the medical staff. They decided the only way to know what is going on is to beam an unconscious subject aboard
CSO_LtJG_G`Dar says:
@::looks about::
Richard says:
::Panic in his voice:: MO: Enter
OPS_Cmdr_Gomes says:
CNS: I disagreed with it but Commander Monroe had the last word, of course
CNS_Cmdr_Varesh says:
::shakes his head:: OPS: Couldn't they just scan the surface and confirm?
 CTO_LtCmdr_Jackson says:
@::Tries to avoid breathing as much as practical under the given circumstances, and slowly heads to the beginning of the alley, to see where exactly they are::
CNS_Cmdr_Varesh says:
OPS: What is it with medical types and wanting to poke things... and I should know this, I'm a doctor.
OPS_Cmdr_Gomes says:
CNS: The life readings are Klingon, we really needed a close scan of the locals. But there were other ways to do it ..
FCO_Rose says:
@ ::Follows, hoping the air is better elsewhere.::
MO_Ens_TRae says:
::Enters the quarters to find Anita collapsed on the floor, her head in Richard's lap::
OPS_Cmdr_Gomes says:
::smiles:: CNS: Its like us science types, always wanting samples. But my samples aren't sentient individuals
CSO_LtJG_G`Dar says:
@::follows the others, taking up the rear::
CNS_Cmdr_Varesh says:
OPS: I'm inclined to agree with you, a tricorder can get the information as easily as a scan in sickbay.
OPS_Cmdr_Gomes says:
::shrugs:: CNS: But its not my call, or yours. So we wait ...
 CTO_LtCmdr_Jackson says:
@::Takes a look around the corner, seeing a few people walk across what seems to be a small, not very crowded square:: SO: Too busy for our assignment.. We'll have to wait or find a different location.
OPS_Cmdr_Gomes says:
::looks down on her console to the location of the away team on the planet and makes sure she has a lock on them.::
MO_Ens_TRae says:
::Grabs her tricorder and quickly brings it open, kneeling by Anita::
FCO_Rose says:
@ CTO:  Pleeeease.  Another location.  I think we are behind some kind of a butcher shop.
CNS_Cmdr_Varesh says:
::nods:: OPS: Yeah, well, I'll just put my opinion back where it came from.
 Yalp says:
:: shows up on operations console, looking hopefully at OPS.::
 CTO_LtCmdr_Jackson says:
@::Chuckles:: SO: Okay, but take out that tricorder of yours to find me one... ::Winks::
MO_Ens_TRae says:
Richard: It will be ok.  What happened?
OPS_Cmdr_Gomes says:
::blinks:: CNS: Your family is still around ... ::reaches her hand to pet Yalp:: Yalp: you won't go near the transporters again will you?
Richard says:
 MO: I am not sure, I came out of the bathroom to find her here on the floor.
CNS_Cmdr_Varesh says:
::looks over at the rodent:: Yalp: Hey cousin.
MO_Ens_TRae says:
::Tries not to look worried as she concentrates her scan on Anita's belly::
OPS_Cmdr_Gomes says:
CNS: I thought our scientist friend had got the ship rid of them. Or did we dream it all after all?
FCO_Rose says:
@ :: Does a quick scan of the area, then turns to the CSO to see what he thought.::
CSO_LtJG_G`Dar says:
@:: Looks at the tricorder map:: CTO: the tricorder shows a maze.  If we follow it, it will slowly get wider into a less congressed area.
FCO_Rose says:
@ :: Nods in agreement.::
CNS_Cmdr_Varesh says:
OPS: I'm not sure, but I just hope he stays away from the transporter systems, I just got used to looking like me again.
MO_Ens_TRae says:
::Finishes her scan::  Richard: She will be ok, lets get her over to the bed.
 CTO_LtCmdr_Jackson says:
@::Nods at G'Dar:: CSO: Alright, very good.. Any squares or anything.. A slightly more open location, but not large enough to attract many people?
CSO_LtJG_G`Dar says:
@::scans::
 Yalp says:
::Sniffs her hand for food.::
OPS_Cmdr_Gomes says:
CNS: The problem is, we have to cage to hold him
MO_Ens_TRae says:
::Reaches into her medical bag as Richard carries Anita over to the bed.  Pulls out a mild stimulant and places it in a hypo spray::
CNS_Cmdr_Varesh says:
OPS: Good luck in trying to cage him. I think he moves through dimensions at will.
 CTO_LtCmdr_Jackson says:
@::Shrugs:: CSO/SO: While we find that out, let's head out...But keep a low profile.
OPS_Cmdr_Gomes says:
CNS: He seems to be hungry ::looks around  her uniform, finding some crumbs from a cracker she had earlier:: Self: Must remember to clean my uniform better
CSO_LtJG_G`Dar says:
@CTO: There is a small square 100m in that direction. ::points left::
OPS_Cmdr_Gomes says:
::extends the crumbs to Yalp, they aren't much but they are something::
MO_Ens_TRae says:
Richard:  There is a minor, and I stress minor, problem with the pregnancy.  As long as she stays on bed rest she and the baby will be fine.  Before I wake her up I need your word that you will help me enforce strict bed rest for her.  She is to get up to go to the bathroom, nothing more.
Yalp says:
:: Happily takes the crumbs, then turns to look at the counselor.::
CNS_Cmdr_Varesh says:
::indicates to a yeoman standing at one of the consoles to get Yalp something to eat from the nearest replicator.:: OPS: Melinda will get him something. I think the entire crew will adopt him.
 CTO_LtCmdr_Jackson says:
@:: Starts heading out slowly, careful not to make too much noise, since they don't want to attract too much attention:: CSO: Alright.. Life signs?
Richard says:
 MO: You said it was a minor problem?
OPS_Cmdr_Gomes says:
CNS: At least he eats our food ... and he likes you. Maybe your altered genetic code produces some species recognition pheromones? Mmm
OPS_Cmdr_Gomes says:
::laughs:: CNS: I have a pet mouse, why not a rodent from another galaxy
CSO_LtJG_G`Dar says:
@CTO: I’m getting a few lifesigns there but i cant get an exact number
CNS_Cmdr_Varesh says:
::looks at Yalp:: OPS: Maybe you have a point there. ::smiles as Melinda returns with some more crackers, not having known what to feed Yalp:: Yalp: Here you are. Food for a hungry cousin.
MO_Ens_TRae says:
Richard: I said it was minor, I didn't say it wasn't serious.  I won't lie to you, there is the potential of loosing the baby and her if we don't take a few simple precautions.  But you know Anita, she will fight us every step of the way.
 CTO_LtCmdr_Jackson says:
@::Nods as he keeps walking slowly and carefully:: CSO: Alright.. We'll see... ::Fumbles in his pocket to get the binoculars out, in case he needs to look over a distance::
 Yalp says:
:: Sniffs a moment, then reaches up to take the food.::
OPS_Cmdr_Gomes says:
::watches the rodent eat:: CNS: Most fascinating indeed. Maybe we can reason with him? If his brain is complex enough
Richard says:
::Eyes the Mo knowingly:: MO: How true that is, we may have to call in reinforcements on this.
MO_Ens_TRae says:
Richard: That is a most definite.  ::Applies the hypo to Anita's neck.::
 
ACTION:  The AT follows a maze of alleyways.  As they do, they slowly widen and become much cleaner.
CNS_Cmdr_Varesh says:
::smiles:: OPS: I didn't ask Tolkets, but who knows, maybe the part we see is just the visible bit. ::smiles as Yalp eats the crackers::
 CTO_LtCmdr_Jackson says:
@::Is glad the stench is getting less, so he can breath better now. As he looks around, he sees a few people walking a bit further ahead::
Anita says:
 MO/Richard: What happened?
OPS_Cmdr_Gomes says:
CNS: Indeed. But the Universal Translator doesn't seem to be working. Yalp: does it my friend?

ACTION:  Yalp suddenly vanishes to just as quickly show up on the counselors lap.

MO_Ens_TRae says:
CMO: Your blood pressure dropped, and you lost consciousness.  I don't have to tell you how dangerous that is.
OPS_Cmdr_Gomes says:
:raises her eyebrows:: CNS: Instant self teleportation? And he really really likes you ...
FCO_Rose says:
@:: Keeps a look out behind them follow the CSO.::
CMO_Cmd_Santiago says:
 MO: What are you trying to tell me Ensign.  ::Emphasizes the last word in an attempt to convey her authority over this upstart of a doctor::
MO_Ens_TRae says:
CMO: I am ordering complete bed rest.
CNS_Cmdr_Varesh says:
::breaks the remaining crackers into smaller pieces:: Yalp: Hello there. ::rubs behind the rodent's ear and holds out another piece of cracker.:: OPS: I see. I think I can learn to like him, even if he is the cause of some of my woes. ::keeps petting Yalp::
OPS_Cmdr_Gomes says:
CNS: He didn't mean it ... I think. ::frowns at the thought that the creature might have done it on purpose::
 
ACTION:  The counselor feels a gentle vibration from Yalp as he pets it.

OPS_Cmdr_Gomes says:
CNS: Unless we think he is part of a bigger plan by Tolket's race
CNS_Cmdr_Varesh says:
::raises an eyebrow and listens a bit closer:: OPS: It feels like he's purring. Feel. ::turns slightly so she can reach across.:: We will never know. The Dokorst want nothing to do with us again.
MO_Cmd_Santiago says:
MO: Not on your life.  There are other ways to control this.  I have work to do…  A sickbay to run… Senior officers to keep in line…  No absolutely not, that is my final word.  ::Attempts to get out of bed, but just as quickly falls back in place::
CSO_LtJG_G`Dar says:
@CTO: i am picking up a single individual coming our way... walking rather quickly... running actually.
FCO_Rose says:
@CTO:  Your friend?
OPS_Cmdr_Gomes says:
CNS: And I don't think we have any way to send him away. So we might as well live with him. Maybe in time you can learn to communicate with him
 CTO_LtCmdr_Jackson says:
@CSO: Ready phasers.. Set to stun... ::Turns to the SO:: SO: I hope he's friendly enough to come close enough... ::Taps his combadge to call the ship:: *OPS*: Away team to Nighthawk, we're getting you a sample soon.. Tell sickbay to be prepared.
OPS_Cmdr_Gomes says:
::snaps out of the world of rodents and aliens::*CTO*Acknowledged
CSO_LtJG_G`Dar says:
@::readies his phaser::
MO_Ens_TRae says:
CMO:  There is no better way.  And as for all of that stuff you have to do, there is plenty of help in the sickbay to get the job done.  Now you will stay put and I will come back and check on you at the end of my shift.
OPS_Cmdr_Gomes says:
*MO*Be prepared doctor, the away team has selected a subject and are about to get him ... or her
 
ACTION:  Faint yells can be heard as a youth appears around a bend in the alleyway, almost plowing into the CSO as he tries to hault his pace.

CNS_Cmdr_Varesh says:
OPS: Maybe just so. ::looks down as Yalp disappears, then feels something move up his arm, the rodent's claws gripping his uniform, and the next moment, Yalp is on his shoulder, whiskers tickling his ear::
MO_Ens_TRae says:
*OPS* Understood.
MO_Cmd_Santiago says:
 MO: What is all that about, what subject?
OPS_Cmdr_Gomes says:
*CTO*Warn me when I can get a lock on said person
FCO_Rose says:
@ CTO:  And it sounds like trouble is following him too.
OPS_Cmdr_Gomes says:
::looks at the CNS::CNS: He is not very mindful of one's privacy is he?
 CTO_LtCmdr_Jackson says:
@::Nods:: CSO: Now! ::Fires his own phaser, set to stun, as well, aiming at the boy's shoulder::
MO_Ens_TRae says:
CMO: Your officially relieved of active duty, due to medical reasons.  Now you don't have to worry about what that was all about.  ::Looks at Richard::
 
Action:  A look of horror crosses the youths face just before he falls to the ground.

CNS_Cmdr_Varesh says:
OPS: No, apparently not. I think he hides behind the rodent facade to get away with everything.
FCO_Rose says:
@ Hearing the voices getting much latter way to fast...::  CTO:  Now would be a good time to go.
OPS_Cmdr_Gomes says:
::chuckles at the CNS::CNS: Maybe its love ..
Richard says:
CMO: Listen, let this doctor get on with her duties.  You just stay put and I will make you something to eat.  Don't make me have to call Varesh.
 CTO_LtCmdr_Jackson says:
@*OPS*: Nighthawk from Away team, we have our subject, about 20 meters from our position..
OPS_Cmdr_Gomes says:
*CTO*Acknowledged. acquiring a lock
CNS_Cmdr_Varesh says:
::grins at Alexandra:: OPS: Then he'll have to share me with someone else.
OPS_Cmdr_Gomes says:
*MO*I'll beam the subject. I'll be able to keep him a few minutes in the buffer but no more than that
 CTO_LtCmdr_Jackson says:
@::Waits impatiently to see the blue transporter shimmering around the boy::
OPS_Cmdr_Gomes says:
::gets a lock on the boy and beams him up, keeping the pattern on the buffer and waiting for the MO's word::
MO_Ens_TRae says:
::Exits the CMO's quarters as she listens to Richard and Anita's friendly yet insistent banter.  Heads quickly to Sickbay::
 
ACTION:  The youth vanishes in a shimmer of transporter beams.

OPS_Cmdr_Gomes says:
CNS: You'll have to tell me about that some other time. It’s Showtime!
CSO_LtJG_G`Dar says:
@CTO: We might wanna get out of here ::Shows him the tricorder readings::
 
ACTION:  A group of heavily armed men in uniform round the corner to plow into the AT.

CNS_Cmdr_Varesh says:
::gets up from the console:: OPS: Think T'Rae will mind my help down there? ::smiles enigmatically:: And I ain't telling nothing, you will find out in due time.
OPS_Cmdr_Gomes says:
::attentively observes the pattern of the boy::
CTO_LtCmdr_Jackson says:
@::Has his eyes wide open as the armed group stumbles into them:: All: Uh oh... ::Raises his phaser again:: Cover!
OPS_Cmdr_Gomes says:
::raises an eyebrow at the CNS:: CNS: I don't think she will mind, she may actually need you, the boy may have seen the AT.
MO_Ens_TRae says:
::The last thing she hears as the door closes behind her is something about Richard inviting her Grandmother to come and visit::

ACTION:  The CSO finds the wind knocked out of him as a rather large man growls in his ear.

 CTO_LtCmdr_Jackson says:
@::Tries to fire his phaser:: Self: So much for a low profile...
FCO_Rose says:
@ ::Gives an ouf as the air is briefly knocked out of her as she slams against the wall.::
CSO_LtJG_G`Dar says:
@::Struggles to breathe::
OPS_Cmdr_Gomes says:
*MO*Doctor, I'll have to release the biy from the buffer. He will be unconscious so there shouldn't be a problem. And the counselor is on his way to assist you
CNS_Cmdr_Varesh says:
OPS: Agreed. ::heads to the TL and orders it to sickbay::
OPS_Cmdr_Gomes says:
::materializes the boy in sickbay::
@Kaydin says:
:: Knees the stranger as he stands up in disgust.::  All:  What is going on her?  Where is that thief?
MO_Ens_TRae says:
*OPS* I am on my way back to sickbay now
 CTO_LtCmdr_Jackson says:
@::Gets pushed just as he wanted to tap his combadge. He stumbles backwards against a wall::
MO_Ens_TRae says:
::Arrives in sickbay to see a youth lying on one of the bio beds.  He does look human.::
OPS_Cmdr_Gomes says:
::frowns as she reads the data from the away team's location::
CNS_Cmdr_Varesh says:
::walks down the corridor and enters sickbay a few moments after T'Rae::
 CTO_LtCmdr_Jackson says:
@::Looks around at his team members::
FCO_Rose says:
@ :: Nods that she is fine and waits to see what next.::
OPS_Cmdr_Gomes says:
::modulates the badge signal for low voice::*CTO*Gomes to Jackson, I'm reading Klingons at your location. If you don't respond I'll emergency beam you out
CNS_Cmdr_Varesh says:
::stops next to the biobed across from T'Rae:: MO: They are startlingly human looking for supposed Klingons.
MO_Ens_TRae says:
All: Time is of the essence people, I want a complete medical and biological work up.
Kaydin says:
@:: Sticks his face into the strangers, anger radiating from him.::  CSO:  Well?
 CTO_LtCmdr_Jackson says:
@::Looks at Kaydin:: Kaydin: What thief?
Kaydin says:
@ ::Turns to the one talking::  CTO:  The one running down this ally.
MO_Ens_TRae says:
::Notices something in his hand and pries it out to get a better look at it::
 CTO_LtCmdr_Jackson says:
@::Frowns:: Kaydin: I didn't see anyone... ::Tries not to show he is lying::
OPS_Cmdr_Gomes says:
::monitors the away team making sure their life signs remain constant::
 Kaydin says:
@ ::Looks behind at his men and nods as they surround the three::  CTO:  Fine... if we can't have our theif, we will have you....
CNS_Cmdr_Varesh says:
::stands to one side as the medical staff do their work::
 CTO_LtCmdr_Jackson says:
@Kaydin: And why would you want us?
FCO_Rose says:
@ :: Stands very still.::
MO_Ens_TRae says:
CNS: Just so you are aware, you may want to visit Anita in the near future.
Kaydin says:
@ CTO:  Aiding and abetting... ::Turns around in anger, stalking off with all but one of his men following along, keeping weapons on the stranger.::
CNS_Cmdr_Varesh says:
::raises an eyebrow:: MO: She's being testy? I was wondering why she wasn't here. I'll get the lowdown from  Richard.
OPS_Cmdr_Gomes says:
::gets no response from the away team and beams them up::
MO_Ens_TRae says:
Self: What have we blundered into now.
 CTO_LtCmdr_Jackson says:
@::Walks along:: Kaydin: On what facts do you base that conclusion?

ACTION:  As one of the officers hears the whine of a transporter, he fires, hitting Rose just before the transporter beams them away.
CNS_Cmdr_Varesh says:
MO: What is that?
CNS_Cmdr_Varesh says:
::points to the thing in her hand::
MO_Ens_TRae says:
Nurse:  Make sure the subject remains sedated.  ::Walks over to a nearby table, motioning for the counselor to join her::
 Kaydin says:
@ ::Looks around::  All:  As I suspected.  Track them...  ::Storms off back to the chancellor.::
CNS_Cmdr_Varesh says:
::walks over to join T'Rae::
FCO_Rose says:
:: Feels something tear into her with screaming pain before obliteration thankfully claims her.::
Transporter_Chief says:
*Sickbay*Medical emergency in TR1
 CTO_LtCmdr_Jackson says:
::Arrives in the transporter room again:: All: Everyone alright? ::Looks at Brianna:: SO: Brianna, are you alright?
MO_Ens_TRae says:
::Pours out the jewels and computer data chips onto the table::  CNS: What do you make of this Commander?
