Trouble and Strife, pt 1

Host Cmdr_Peers says:
Last week on the USS Pendragon....

Host Cmdr_Peers says:
She mysteriously disappeared from DS14's sensors...

Host Cmdr_Peers says:
::cue video of Pendragon slowly dissolving in the cold darkness of space::

Host Cmdr_Peers says:
Only to reappear five minutes later.

Host Cmdr_Peers says:
::cue video of the confusion on the bridge as FCO White lies dying in a pool of blood::

Host Cmdr_Peers says:
::cue dramatic music::

Host Cmdr_Peers says:
::run opening credits::

Host Cmdr_Peers says:
<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<begin mission>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>

Host Cmdr_Peers says:
ACTION:  The Kenti Council is sitting.  The doors to the Council Chambers are shut and locked.  The CO and CTO are in a holodeck set up like a hearing room.

OPS_LtCmdr_Pettigrove says:
::sitting by herself on the promenade ... still upset by what happened to the FCO::

Host CO_Rofax says:
::stands wondering if they're might be a believable explanation::

XO_LtCmdr_Thraxis says:
:: walking the promenade with a two-person security detail ::

Host Cmdr_Peers says:
::in the holodeck fiddling with the panel::

XO_LtCmdr_Thraxis says:
:: spots Jordan sitting by herself :: Detail: Harris, Rivera... keep patrolling. I need to speak to Cmdr. Pettigrove. I'll catch up with you shortly.

CTO_LtJG_Newind says:
::standing beside the Captain, idly wondering when this is going to start::

XO_LtCmdr_Thraxis says:
:: the security detail moves off, and Thraxis approaches Pettigrove ::

Host Cmdr_Peers says:
ACTION:  On the holodeck a woman appears sitting behind a desk.  She's blond and sorta icy looking.

CSO_LtCmdr_Toms says:
::walking around, doing the whole looking for bad guys thing::

CTO_LtJG_Newind says:
::notices the woman, and checks his posture::

Host CO_Rofax says:
::wonders if she is single and into CTO's::

XO_LtCmdr_Thraxis says:
:: places a hand on her shoulder :: OPS: I don't need a telepathic link to tell you're upset. The whole crew is wondering why and how White died.

Host CO_Rofax says:
::can use all the karma he can muster right now::

Host Cmdr_Peers says:
<Cmdr Verdi> Peers:  It's coming in very clear.  I feel like I'm really there with you all.  How is it on your end?

OPS_LtCmdr_Pettigrove says:
XO:  I know how ... I saw it!  But why ... ::eyes filling with tears::

Host Cmdr_Peers says:
Verdi:  Clear here as well.  ::takes a seat in the back::

XO_LtCmdr_Thraxis says:
:: sits, places his hand discreetly on her arm :: OPS: We may never know. Exploring the galaxy is risky business. Perhaps we were being tested by someone. Perhaps it was some very peculiar temporal anomaly.

Host JAG_Cmdr_Verdi says:
ACTION:  Some suspicious looking Cardassians sidle by the CSO.

OPS_LtCmdr_Pettigrove says:
XO:  And now we have this silly security thing ...

CSO_LtCmdr_Toms says:
::looks at the cardies, notes them down and sets one of his people to following them::

Host JAG_Cmdr_Verdi says:
::stands::  CO/CTO:  We are here to establish the circumstances of Lt. White's death.  No one is charged at this time, although by relieving himself of duty the CO seems to have accepted responsibility.

XO_LtCmdr_Thraxis says:
:: smiles ::  OPS: The Kenti Council may be the first chance for real peace this sector has had for three hundred years. We're doing a good thing here, Jordan. Jack would be proud of us.

Host JAG_Cmdr_Verdi says:
CTO:  You may speak.  ::sits, still quite icy looking::

OPS_LtCmdr_Pettigrove says:
::nods:: XO:  I guess so ...

Host JAG_Cmdr_Verdi says:
ACTION:  The Cardassians enter a tavern and sit with some suspicious looking Takarans.

XO_LtCmdr_Thraxis says:
OPS: I have to get back to patrol. Walk with me? I'm not certain you should be alone right now.

CTO_LtJG_Newind says:
::listens intently to the JAG's words:: JAG: Ma'am, as we all know, Lt. White has died under mysterious circumstances to some.

Host JAG_Cmdr_Verdi says:
::nods::

OPS_LtCmdr_Pettigrove says:
::shakes her head:: XO:  I'll be all right.  I just need some time to think ...

CSO_LtCmdr_Toms says:
<PO1_Lok'at'em>::reports into the CSO about the Takarans::

CTO_LtJG_Newind says:
JAG: I can and will prove the Captain's innocence, even though it seems that he is the one at fault, taking into the account the fact that he feels guilty.

Host JAG_Cmdr_Verdi says:
::maintaining her cool iciness, looks over Rofax::

CTO_LtJG_Newind says:
JAG: Whether it was a temporal anomaly or anomaly of a different sort, we experienced something that was not of this time and space.

XO_LtCmdr_Thraxis says:
~~~ OPS: I love you, Jordan Pettigrove. Reach out for me, if you need me. ~~~

Host JAG_Cmdr_Verdi says:
::thinks he's kind of hot, although you wouldn't guess by looking at her::

Host JAG_Cmdr_Verdi says:
ACTION:  A gong sounds, indicating a recess of the Kenti Council.

Host CO_Rofax says:
::stands quietly, waiting to be addressed::

OPS_LtCmdr_Pettigrove says:
::smiles at him:: XO:  Thanks.  ::gets up and finds the detail she is supposed to be with::

CSO_LtCmdr_Toms says:
::notes the report and tells Lok'at'em to keep eyes open::

XO_LtCmdr_Thraxis says:
:: looks at her as she is leaving... then turns and trots after the detail ::

Host JAG_Cmdr_Verdi says:
ACTION:  The Takarans disappear into the back of the tavern, while the Cardassians sit and look suspicious.

CTO_LtJG_Newind says:
JAG: We were placed in a medieval Earth time period, playing--if you will-- the parts of the Knights of the Round Table, under the command of King Arthur. I was Sir Gawain, and the Captain was King Arthur. 

Host JAG_Cmdr_Verdi says:
::looks incredulous::

CSO_LtCmdr_Toms says:
<PO1_lok'at'em>::reports movement of Takarans::

OPS_LtCmdr_Pettigrove says:
::finds her team and moves towards the Kenti Council Chamber::

CTO_LtJG_Newind says:
JAG: In this world, we were not as we are now. We were different people. I understand that the situation just described may seem unbelievable to some, but what it is.

XO_LtCmdr_Thraxis says:
:: catches up :: Detail: Anything to report?

Host JAG_Cmdr_Verdi says:
ACTION:  The Council members file out of Chambers onto the promenade.

CSO_LtCmdr_Toms says:
*XO*: Sir I have a situation of possible interest. There has been a group of suspicious Cardassians, hanging about. They made contact with some Takarans, and now I’m losing contact with those.

XO_LtCmdr_Thraxis says:
<Lt_Harris> XO: Nothing, sir.

Host JAG_Cmdr_Verdi says:
CTO:  I see.  ::doesn't really::

CSO_LtCmdr_Toms says:
::tells PO1 to follow Takarans, sends another person to get the Cardies::

OPS_LtCmdr_Pettigrove says:
::sees the Council heading for the Promenade ... follows them::

XO_LtCmdr_Thraxis says:
*CSO*: Where are the Cardassians now?

CTO_LtJG_Newind says:
JAG: I have reason to believe that-- ::stops and clears his throat::-- Lt. White was, in the reality of the medieval period, in fact Mordred. ::stops again::

CTO_LtJG_Newind says:
JAG: I can explain the Knights of the Round Table if some may be confused about who and what they are?

CSO_LtCmdr_Toms says:
<CPO_Fond>::takes over watching the Cardies::

OPS_LtCmdr_Pettigrove says:
*XO*:  Pettigrove of Thraxis.  The Council has recessed.  They are heading for the Promenade.

Host CO_Rofax says:
::wonders how many actually are familiar with the story of King Arthur and becomes suddenly worried::

Host JAG_Cmdr_Verdi says:
CTO:  I'm familiar with the myth.  ::looks down her nose at the CTO::

CSO_LtCmdr_Toms says:
*XO*: Tavern off of the Promenade. "Fluffies" is the name.

CTO_LtJG_Newind says:
JAG: Ok then. ::continues:: You may not be familiar with Mordred being after the treasure of the Excalibur and other treasures King Arthur obtained.

Host JAG_Cmdr_Verdi says:
ACTION:  Some of the Council members head into various eating establishments while others appear headed to the quarters decks.

CSO_LtCmdr_Toms says:
<PO1>::following Takarans::

XO_LtCmdr_Thraxis says:
*All*: Security details, monitor the movements of the Council members carefully. Report any suspicious activities by Promenade denizens immediately.

Host JAG_Cmdr_Verdi says:
::tries to imagine Rofax as King Arthur.  Momentarily smiles before resuming her icy glare::

XO_LtCmdr_Thraxis says:
*CSO*: Hold your position. I'm headed your way.

OPS_LtCmdr_Pettigrove says:
::stays alert for any signs of trouble ... splits her team to follow those heading for quarters while she stays on the promenade to watch those there::

Host JAG_Cmdr_Verdi says:
<shop girl Sally>::peeks out of her shoe store, then slips back inside::

Host CO_Rofax says:
::relaxes his breathing somewhat after hearing the JAG officer is familiar with the legend and prays she has an open mind::

OPS_LtCmdr_Pettigrove says:
*XO*:  The Council has split up.  Some are heading for quarters.  Those on the Promenade are heading for the eating establishments.

CTO_LtJG_Newind says:
JAG: What caused the change in this myth is not something I can explain. I can, however, explain the reasoning of Mordred's or Lt. White's death. When the Captain's life became threatened, he reacted in a manner that can be expected of a previous Tactical officer. He protected himself.

XO_LtCmdr_Thraxis says:
:: quickens his pace to the tavern... his detail right behind him ::

Host JAG_Cmdr_Verdi says:
::raises an eyebrow::  CTO:  In what way?

CSO_LtCmdr_Toms says:
*XO*:Aye. ::informs CPO to keep a closer eye on the Cardies, then contacts PO1 about the Takarans::

CTO_LtJG_Newind says:
JAG: ::sighs:: With a sword, most likely the Excalibur. He was challenged to a duel.

Host JAG_Cmdr_Verdi says:
ACTION:  The Cardassians continue to sit in the tavern, looking smug and drinking.

Host CO_Rofax says:
Self: Self-defense.... hmm...  ::but does not react outwardly::

Host JAG_Cmdr_Verdi says:
::raises another eyebrow::

CTO_LtJG_Newind says:
JAG: Seeing as how none of us were ourselves, this would make sense. None of us knew who each was in our reality, but only in the reality we were dealing with.

XO_LtCmdr_Thraxis says:
:: finds himself just outside Fluffies' ::  CSO: How many Takarans did you spot?

Host JAG_Cmdr_Verdi says:
CTO:  Let me get this straight... you were the knights of the round table?

CTO_LtJG_Newind says:
JAG: In the reality we were facing, yes.

CSO_LtCmdr_Toms says:
XO: I haven’t seen them myself sir. Petty Officer Lok'at'em is currently following them. He said there were two.

Host JAG_Cmdr_Verdi says:
::clears her throat::  CTO:  I see.  Would you permit King Arthur there to clarify his perspective?

XO_LtCmdr_Thraxis says:
CSO: Did you see anything exchanged between the Cardassians and the Takarans?

CTO_LtJG_Newind says:
::wonders if the JAG is mocking them:: JAG: I suppose so.

Host CO_Rofax says:
::looks up to Verdi then to Newind before taking a step forward::

Host JAG_Cmdr_Verdi says:
ACTION:  The Takarans have vanished through the service corridors behind the promenade shops.

CTO_LtJG_Newind says:
::nods to the Captain::

CSO_LtCmdr_Toms says:
<PO1>::tries to find the Takarans whilst reporting into the CSO::

Host JAG_Cmdr_Verdi says:
::is very interested to see how Rofax explains all this::

CTO_LtJG_Newind says:
::hopes to any God out there that Rofax doesn't slaughter his own case::

Host JAG_Cmdr_Verdi says:
<shop girl Sally>  ::allows two shadowy figures to pass through her shoe shop::

Host CO_Rofax says:
Verdi: Thank you Cmdr.  My memory of the events is brief, but rather clear.  As Lt. Newind stated, I was challenged and threatened with death.  I failed to recognize my own Flight Officer and fatally wounded who I believed to be Mordred.  I believed myself to be King Arthur.  What's more... this is not the first time this has occurred...

CSO_LtCmdr_Toms says:
XO: Sir, Lok'at'em has lost the Takarans.

OPS_LtCmdr_Pettigrove says:
::keeps her eye on the members of the Council she can see in the eatery ... ready to move if anything happens::

Host JAG_Cmdr_Verdi says:
CO:  Really?  Tell me more...  ::looks fascinated::

XO_LtCmdr_Thraxis says:
CSO: I see. You and your team interview the Cardassians... find out if they have a plausible reason for being here just now. I'll alert the rest of the details to be on the lookout for a pair of Takarans. We'll want to question them, as well.

CTO_LtJG_Newind says:
::mutters something about deceiving looks::

Host JAG_Cmdr_Verdi says:
ACTION:  The Council members go about their meal break, except for those who have gone to nap.

CSO_LtCmdr_Toms says:
XO: Aye, sir. The Takarans were last seen near a shoe shop, Sandy's or something like that.

Host JAG_Cmdr_Verdi says:
ACTION:  One of the Council members, a hooded lizard sort of guy meets Pettigrove's gaze.

OPS_LtCmdr_Pettigrove says:
*XO*:  Commander, my team is in position.  We have an eye on those members of the Council still on the Promenade::

Host CO_Rofax says:
Verdi: My former CO, Captain Phail experienced similar events.  He spoke of them to me on several occasions.  However, I do not recall he causing the death of one of his crew.

OPS_LtCmdr_Pettigrove says:
::smiles at the Council member as she returns his gaze::

CTO_LtJG_Newind says:
::looks up at the mention of a Captain Phail::

CSO_LtCmdr_Toms says:
::contacts the CPO tells him not to let the Cardies leave, pulls in two others that are floating around, sends one to help the PO1 find those Takarans, and the other to help him::

Host JAG_Cmdr_Verdi says:
::nods and calls up information on a small screen on her desk::

XO_LtCmdr_Thraxis says:
*OPS*: Thank you, Commander.

Host JAG_Cmdr_Verdi says:
<Thisah>::blinks slowly at Pettigrove in acknowledgement::

OPS_LtCmdr_Pettigrove says:
::recognizes Thisah from before and nods at him while keeping her eye out for danger::

Host JAG_Cmdr_Verdi says:
::reads::  CO/CTO:  I see.  Does this sort of thing happen often to the Pendragon crew then?

Host CO_Rofax says:
Verdi: I find it more than a coincidence that the Pendragon crew has encountered such an incident twice.  However, I accept the responsibilities for my actions, conducted consciously or not.

CTO_LtJG_Newind says:
JAG: More often then you'd like to believe.

CSO_LtCmdr_Toms says:
::moves through the tables at Fluffies until he comes to the Cardies table. Cardies: Good afternoon gentlemen. Mind answering a couple of questions for me? ::smiles and pulls up a spare chair::

Host JAG_Cmdr_Verdi says:
CTO:  Perhaps King Arthur should be quiet before he hangs himself.  ::smiles::

Host JAG_Cmdr_Verdi says:
ACTION:  The Cardassians look smugly at Toms as he sits.

CTO_LtJG_Newind says:
::doesn't smile:: JAG: In this reality, he is once again Captain Rofax, rather than King Arthur.

Host CO_Rofax says:
::stops speaking and steps back, nodding slightly::

OPS_LtCmdr_Pettigrove says:
::enters the eatery and holds position just inside the door::

CSO_LtCmdr_Toms says:
Cardies: Seem to be having a good day. Why all the smiles?

Host JAG_Cmdr_Verdi says:
CTO:  And in your opinion, what actions should we take here?

Host JAG_Cmdr_Verdi says:
<cardassian 1>CSO: Successful conclusion to our business.  Go away please.

CTO_LtJG_Newind says:
JAG: I find the Captain to not be guilty, but I do believe that he needs to see a Counselor to relieve some, if not all, of the guilt relating to the death of Lt. White.

CSO_LtCmdr_Toms says:
::looks to Cardie 1::Cardie 1: But I’m just being friendly. What business was that?

Host JAG_Cmdr_Verdi says:
CTO: You believe this guilt may hamper his command?  ::looks over Rofax again::

Host JAG_Cmdr_Verdi says:
ACTION:  A gong sounds twice, giving a five-minute warning for the end of recess.

XO_LtCmdr_Thraxis says:
:: spaces the two in his detail out a few yards, to give better visual coverage of their part of the Promenade ::

CTO_LtJG_Newind says:
JAG: It may or may not. Whether it be presently or a time further in the future. I give this suggestion as a precaution, not as a punishment of any sort.

Host JAG_Cmdr_Verdi says:
CO:  Do you agree to these terms?

Host JAG_Cmdr_Verdi says:
<Cardie 1> CSO:  None of yours, Starfleet.

Host JAG_Cmdr_Verdi says:
<Thisah>::leaves the eating establishment::

XO_LtCmdr_Thraxis says:
:: still standing directly outside the entrance to Fluffies' ::

CTO_LtJG_Newind says:
::looks to the Captain::

OPS_LtCmdr_Pettigrove says:
::follows the Council at a discrete distance as they make their way::

Host CO_Rofax says:
Verdi: I accept the terms as stated.

Host JAG_Cmdr_Verdi says:
CO:  Very well.  ::stands::  CO/CTO:  Case adjourned.  Death ruled accidental.

CSO_LtCmdr_Toms says:
Cardie 1: Ah but it is. You see this is A SF station, and my job is security for now. So what you do is my business. So, what was it?

CTO_LtJG_Newind says:
::smiles inwardly::

Host JAG_Cmdr_Verdi says:
CTO:  You are dismissed.  I'd like to speak to the Captain privately for a few moments.

CTO_LtJG_Newind says:
::nods:: JAG: As you wish. ::reaches to shake the Captain's hand before he leaves::

Host JAG_Cmdr_Verdi says:
<Cardie 1> ::stands::  CSO:  I said it was none of your business.

Host JAG_Cmdr_Verdi says:
ACTION:  The other two Cardassians stand as well.

Host CO_Rofax says:
::shakes Newind's hand and asks him to locate the crew::

CTO_LtJG_Newind says:
::nods again and leaves::

Host CO_Rofax says:
::drops his head briefly and says a silent prayer for Jack::

CSO_LtCmdr_Toms says:
::stands as well:: Cardie 1: I am making it mine. What did the Takarans have to do with it?

Host JAG_Cmdr_Verdi says:
<Cardie 1> CSO:  Takarans?  You must be mistaken.

Host CO_Rofax says:
::looks up and turns:: Verdi: Yes, Cmdr?  What can I do for you?

CSO_LtCmdr_Toms says:
Cardie 1: Oh I assure you I most definitely am not. What was your business with them?

CTO_LtJG_Newind says:
::outside of the holodeck, sees a couple security detail outside of a 'Fluffies' and walks over.::

Host JAG_Cmdr_Verdi says:
::stands::  CO:  That was a most interesting story Captain.  I'm on my way to DS14.   I hope you can spare the time to tell me all about it when I arrive.

Host JAG_Cmdr_Verdi says:
ACTION:  The Cardassians ignore the CSO and make for the door.

CTO_LtJG_Newind says:
::sees the XO:: XO: Sir. ::smiles::

Host JAG_Cmdr_Verdi says:
ACTION:  The last of the Council members file into Chambers.

XO_LtCmdr_Thraxis says:
CTO: Lieutenant. How is the Captain?

CSO_LtCmdr_Toms says:
CPO_Fond>::steps over to stop the Cardies, backed up by PO2-Mule::

OPS_LtCmdr_Pettigrove says:
::satisfied that the Council have made it back to chambers safely ... ::

Host JAG_Cmdr_Verdi says:
ACTION:  A gong sounds three times indicating resumption of the Council.

CTO_LtJG_Newind says:
XO: All is well for now. ::notices some security blocking Cardassians inside::

Host JAG_Cmdr_Verdi says:
ACTION:  The Cardassians stop.  They do not look amused.

CTO_LtJG_Newind says:
XO: Excuse me for a moment. ::walks over to the group:: ALL: Is there a problem here?

XO_LtCmdr_Thraxis says:
:: taps commbadge :: *Detail*: Harris, Rivera... get back to the tavern on the double.

Host CO_Rofax says:
Verdi:  Certainly.  I would be honored to.  Please have the appropriate information relayed to the Pendragon and I will handle matters from there.  ::smiles weakly::

Host JAG_Cmdr_Verdi says:
ACTION:  Two Takarans leave the Council Chambers just as the doors close.

OPS_LtCmdr_Pettigrove says:
*XO*:  Commander, the Council is back in chambers.

XO_LtCmdr_Thraxis says:
:: the security men come running ::

CSO_LtCmdr_Toms says:
CTO: These lovely gentlemen here are just answering some questions Lt. 

Host JAG_Cmdr_Verdi says:
CO:  I'll see you then.

XO_LtCmdr_Thraxis says:
*OPS*: Anything unusual to report, Commander?

Host JAG_Cmdr_Verdi says:
ACTION:  Verdi fades as the holodeck returns to normal

Host CO_Rofax says:
::nods::

CTO_LtJG_Newind says:
CSO: I see. Cardies: I assume you've answered these questions? ::pretty sure they didn't::

OPS_LtCmdr_Pettigrove says:
::sees the Takarans and goes off in chase:: *XO*:  Yes Sir,  Two Takarans have left the Council chambers just before the door closed.  We need to get the Council out of there NOW!

Host JAG_Cmdr_Verdi says:
<Cardie 1> CTO:  We are under no obligation to answer your questions.

Host CO_Rofax says:
::suddenly has an uneasy feeling and drops to a knee::

XO_LtCmdr_Thraxis says:
*OPS*: Agreed. Evacuate the Council at once!

CTO_LtJG_Newind says:
Cardie 1: Well, isn't that funny. I could have sworn that this was a Starfleet base, not a Cardassian base.

CTO_LtJG_Newind says:
::looks over the CSO:: CSO: Right?

OPS_LtCmdr_Pettigrove says:
::remembers the Kenti are telepathic and sends a warning to Thisah to evacuate the Council Chamber::

Host CO_Rofax says:
*CTO* Report?

Host JAG_Cmdr_Verdi says:
<Cardie 1>CTO:  Our business has nothing to do with the station.  Now if you don't mind...

CSO_LtCmdr_Toms says:
<PO1_lok'at'em>::catches up with OPS:: OPS: Those are the ones I’ve been following!

Host JAG_Cmdr_Verdi says:
ACTION:  The Cardassians try to muscle by the Fleeties

CSO_LtCmdr_Toms says:
CTO: Last I heard, yes

CTO_LtJG_Newind says:
Cardies: If you don't answer these questions, then-- *CO*: Just having a friendly with a couple of Cardassians.

Host JAG_Cmdr_Verdi says:
ACTION:  The Council members start filing out of Chambers, looking perturbed.

XO_LtCmdr_Thraxis says:
:: steps over to the confrontation with the Cardassians, phaser in hand ::  Cardassians: You two are coming with us. We've spotted your Takaran friends.

Host CO_Rofax says:
*CTO* Acknowledged.  Rofax out.

OPS_LtCmdr_Pettigrove says:
::has the guards with her chase the Takarans ... :: Lok'at'em:  Get after them.  I need to warn the Council ... ::bolts back to the chamber::

CSO_LtCmdr_Toms says:
<CPO & PO2>::stop the Cardies::

CTO_LtJG_Newind says:
::stands unmoved:: Cardies: Tsk tsk.

Host JAG_Cmdr_Verdi says:
ACTION:  The Takarans run into a shoe store.

Host CO_Rofax says:
::stands and exits the holodeck::

Host JAG_Cmdr_Verdi says:
ACTION:  The Cardassians look extremely annoyed.

CSO_LtCmdr_Toms says:
<PO1_Lok'at'em>OPS: Aye ma'am. ::continues chasing the Takarans::

CTO_LtJG_Newind says:
::looks over to the CSO and hopes he knows to watch the Cardies hands.. quickly scans the Cardassians for any weapons::

OPS_LtCmdr_Pettigrove says:
::nearly bumps into Thisah:: Thisah:  We need to check the chamber ... we believe someone may be trying to kill you ...

XO_LtCmdr_Thraxis says:
CSO, CTO: Take these three to the detention cells.

Host CO_Rofax says:
::finds a quiet tavern off the beaten path and enters::

Host JAG_Cmdr_Verdi says:
ACTION:  There is a loud BOOM.  Smoke and fire pour out of Council Chambers.

CTO_LtJG_Newind says:
::nods:: Cardies: Let's take a nice walk, shall we? I hope we don't need to resort to anything violent.

CTO_LtJG_Newind says:
::hears the boom and loses his focus on the cardassians::

CSO_LtCmdr_Toms says:
<PO1_Lok'at'em>::chases the Takarans into a shoe shop, with the other guys OPS sent::

CTO_LtJG_Newind says:
::yells at some nearby personnel to get over to the council and focuses on the Cardassians again::

Host JAG_Cmdr_Verdi says:
