USS Pendragon
10510.15
Here We Go Again, pt. 2

Host CO_Capt_Rofax says:
The main viewer flashed bright blue and then went completely blank.  Various images slowly began piecing themselves back together in the form of the standard display for a diagnostics padd.

Upon completion, the screen blazed through several thousand lines of information and began populating the Pendragon's computer system.  Flight data, warp information, systems maintenance, and the Captain's flight log were all routed to those who would best be suited to benefit from the information.

After processing the data stream, the viewer displayed the flight log entries for the Captain's return trip to the Pendragon.

Host CO_Capt_Rofax says:
Flight Log – SD 10501.042

After several days on the Zaldan colony of Yarius III visiting old friends, I am enroute to SB 76 to rendezvous with the Pendragon.  As usual, Trian and Latia were gracious hosts and welcomed me into their home as one of their own.

I shared my experience of the visions of our mission to the Klingon ruins... what occurred with Mikal and what I saw once I knew he was gone.  I could not explain what it meant, but vowed to resolve the matter.  Despite my efforts to set things right, I left their home plagued by guilt for actions I cannot explain.

Host CO_Capt_Rofax says:
Flight Log – SD 10501.035

I have located a distress signal located near a poorly mapped nebula, previously thought to be of no interest.  The radiation is unremarkable, but the gravimetric sheer could pose a threat to an ill-prepared vessel.

Host CO_Capt_Rofax says:
Flight Log – SD 10501.049

I have managed to locate the source of the signal, a Ferrengi cargo transport.  They report they have been here for ten days and crossed a gravimetric wake which severely crippled their propulsion systems.

Their weapons are non-existent and their shields have failed.  Only the bulk of the transport itself is warding off the effects of the nebula's radiation.  I have half a notion to leave them here, but I cannot simply turn my back on them.

Host CO_Capt_Rofax says:
Flight Log – SD 10501.056

After several attempts to get the Ferrengi vessel moving, we have had minor success.  Momentum is carrying the vessel at the moment, but I will need to do something more in order to get them completely free of the nebula's pull.

After studying the effects of the gravity distortions, I may be able to use them to my advantage in rescuing the cargo vessel.  The only negative is that I will most likely need to dock with the Ferrengi vessel, further risking us both being trapped.

Host CO_Capt_Rofax says:
Flight Log – SD 10501.067

The Ferrengi vessel is free of the nebula and their engines are showing signs of firing again.  Their shields are still inoperable and my shuttle's are operating intermittently.  However, they have refused to release the docking clamp citing that I will leave them here or worse yet, attack them.

Host CO_Capt_Rofax says:
Flight Log – SD 10501.073

As an offer of thanks, the Ferrengi's have invited me to their vessel for a celebratory feast in honor of assisting them.  They are reporting the Grand Negus is in deep appreciation of my efforts and he wishes to speak to me directly over their secure signal.

I still do not trust them, but I must not allow my personal feelings interfere with the chance to improve relations between the two cultures.

Host CO_Capt_Rofax says:
Flight Log – SD 10501.077

The meal was extraordinary considering it was Ferrengi cuisine and as an added plus, the Ferrengis have offered a payment of 50 bars of gold-pressed latinum and a various cache of supplies for the Pendragon.  I am preparing to retrieve them from the cargo hold and transport them to the shuttle for my departure.

Host CO_Capt_Rofax says:
Flight Log – SD 10501.08

Something is wrong.  It's a trap….

*Shuttle CPU* Secure lockdown, Thraxis-Theta-One.

The command was the last words Rofax managed to utter before passing out.  What affected him was unknown, but he took some comfort in knowing the precautionary measure that Mr. Thraxis helped him with prior to his departure should prevent the Ferrengis from making any use of the discarded shuttle.

The sensors ran every scan the core could handle, life-support was cut, and phaser banks unloaded until their conduits overloaded.  The shuttle then jump to warp and altered course every thirty seconds before cutting all power and essentially vanishing to all known sensors.

The computer managed to capture the Ferrengis warp signature and last known heading as well as positive ID's on most of the bridge crew.  Rofax knew he might die before he was found, but at least the crew would have a few breadcrumbs to trace…

Host Spork says:
@ACTION:  Dr. Tarr strolls through basket weaving class and stops to talk to a nurse.

CSO_LtCmdr_Toms says:
COMM: Ferengi Vessel: Mr. Spork I presume? We are investigating the disappearance of a member of our ships company. Your ships warp signature matches that which we have reason to believe was involved. We just came to have a friendly chat.

CTO_Ens_Newind says:
::hides his grin and starts reading the plans::

Host CO_Capt_Rofax says:

OPS_LtCmdr_Pettigrove says:
CSO:  Sir, I'm not detecting any Ullian biosigns on board ... he's not on the ship as far as I can tell.

CSO_LtCmdr_Toms says:
CTO: I will not have a firefight with the Ferengi if it can be avoided. Beyond the fact that the CO is probably onboard that ship, and any damage we do could kill him.

Host Spork says:
@<Tarr>::stops and stares at Rofax::

CTO_Ens_Newind says:
CSO/OPS: My recommendation is that we disarm and disable their ship so that we can extract some data concerning our Captain's whereabouts.

OPS_LtCmdr_Pettigrove says:
CTO:  We don't even know if he was onboard at all, Ensign.  But I do like to teach Ferengis a lesson or two ... ::grins::

Host Spork says:
@<Tarr> Thinks to self:  That one will be perfect for the next phase.

Host CO_Capt_Rofax says:
@ ~~~ Tarr: How does it feel to stare the Grim Reaper in the face? You're next.~~~

CTO_Ens_Newind says:
::grins with the OPS:: OPS: I have to believe the data the Captain sent us. If the signatures match this ship, then this is where he was.

EO_LtJg_Damien says:
::extrapolates the last pieces of data from the shuttle and sends it to OPS::

CSO_LtCmdr_Toms says:
CTO: That could be seen as an act of piracy, Ens. ALL: Anyone got anything slightly more, legal, before we try that?

FCO_LtJg_White says:
CSO/OPS/CTO: I agree with Mr. Newind's assessment.  The Ferengi will not willingly give us correct information.

Host Spork says:
@ACTION:  Rofax gets the impression the Dr. Tarr is not exactly what he seems.

FCO_LtJg_White says:
CSO: Simply say we have reason to think that they are carrying contraband.

CTO_Ens_Newind says:
::grumbles some more::

OPS_LtCmdr_Pettigrove says:
CSO:  We could try to hack into their computer systems ... get into their flight records to see where they've been ...

Host CO_Capt_Rofax says:
@ ::looks around for anything that may be useful as a weapon and reluctantly wishes he had a pair of the CTO's dirty underwear to throw at Tarr::

FCO_LtJg_White says:
CSO: Or do some type of safety inspection.

Host Spork says:
@<Tarr>::speaks to two orderlies and leaves::

FCO_LtJg_White says:
CSO: The only other option I see is that we follow them until they lead us to the captain...that could take years.

OPS_LtCmdr_Pettigrove says:
CSO:  Or, as I said, we find out where they've been ... and work backwards ...

Host Spork says:
ACTION:  The Ferengi ship merrily warps through space.

CSO_LtCmdr_Toms says:
::thinks:: OPS: Send a message to the Ferengi that we intend to perform a "Health and Safety Inspection" and that, if they do not halt and allow us to board them, we will consider them in violation of Federation law and halt them our selves.

FCO_LtJg_White says:

Host Spork says:
@<Orderly>  CO:  Seems the Dr. would like to see you again.  Come with us.  Nice basket by the way.  ::snickers::

Host CO_Capt_Rofax says:
@ ::swings the basket violently toward one of the orderlies, jagged corners exposed::

CTO_Ens_Newind says:

CSO_LtCmdr_Toms says:
CTO: Please prepare to disable their engines if they fail to comply.

Host Spork says:

@ACTION:  The two orderlies leave, mostly because they can't stand watching this part.

CTO_Ens_Newind says:
#::nods to White and begins carrying out what he was sent to 'do'::

OPS_LtCmdr_Pettigrove says:
<TR_Chief> ::Belatedly beams the MO's and TO's the CTO requested to the Ferengi vessel::

Host CO_Capt_Rofax says:
@ ::spits at Tarr::  Tarr: You disgust me to think that you are Federation.

Host Spork says:
@ACTION:  One of Rofax's wrist straps is badly frayed.

FCO_LtJg_White says:
#::Smiles at Spork and pulls the tricorder from behind his back than flips it open and begins scanning::

Host CO_Capt_Rofax says:
@ ::notices the strap give somewhat and strains with all his might to break it::

CTO_Ens_Newind says:
#::notices the others beam in:: MOs/TOs: Get to work.

Host Spork says:
#::transmits his cargo manifest::

Host Spork says:
@ACTION:  The strap breaks just as Dr. Tarr leans over Rofax

OPS_LtCmdr_Pettigrove says:
::sees a transmission come in from the Ferengi vessel:: Self:  Finally ... ::opens the file and begins reading::

FCO_LtJg_White says:
#Spork: I'll need to see a list of your last ten ports of call and any vessels you docked with in that time.

CTO_Ens_Newind says:
#::sticks with White and looks for a distraction::

Host CO_Capt_Rofax says:
@ ::unconsciously reaches for Tarr's throat and attempts to crush his windpipe::

Host Spork says:
#FCO:  I'm sorry.  We had a computer malfunction and the records were lost.  Perhaps if I think on it, I can remember.  ::looks thoughtful::

Host Spork says:
@<Dr. Tarr>::gurgles a bit then passes out::

Host CO_Capt_Rofax says:
@ ::tries to free himself before anyone notices::

CTO_Ens_Newind says:
#::scowls at Spork:: Spork: Mr. White here is going to look through your computer.

Host Spork says:
#::steps away from the command center smiling in that horrible Ferengi way::

FCO_LtJg_White says:
#::smiles:: CTO: No, It is alright sir.  If Mr. Sport says the computer went down it did.

CTO_Ens_Newind says:
#::notes a MO come up to him and tell him something:: Spork: There's been a problem. We need to scan your cargo.

CTO_Ens_Newind says:
#::looks at the FCO, then nods:: Spork: Never mind, then.

CTO_Ens_Newind says:
#FCO: Let's see to that cargo.

FCO_LtJg_White says:
#::begins scanning the bulkhead nearby looking confused...is in fact attempting to map the ship's layout::CTO:I think I should stay here sir. ::smiles::

CTO_Ens_Newind says:
::orders a TO to stay with the FCO and takes the remaining AT with him::

CTO_Ens_Newind says:
::whispers as he walks by:: FCO: Stay out of trouble.

Host CO_Capt_Rofax says:
@ ::frees himself and grabs Tarr's body, placing it on the chair.  Ripping the belt off of Tarr's pants, uses it to replace the broken arm strap and secures Tarr into the chair.  Then tries to locate a way out... vent grid, conduit, etc.::
