Host Coot says:
<<<< Begin Mission >>>>

CNS_Cmdr_Luchena says:
::waiting on the station just outside the Pendragon airlock::

CSO_Cmdr_Toms says:
::standing around, wondering if this will be a waste of time::

CMO_LtCmdr_Yates says:
@::Waiting in the Turbo Lift as it heads for the deck with the airlock:: Self: This should be interesting...

Host Cmdr_Stark says:
ACTION: The overhead speakers pipe out continuous inspirational music all through the station.

CTO_Jokeg says:
::stepping off the shuttle, glad to be rid of the non-stop talking idiot fresh out of the Academy ensign::

CNS_Cmdr_Luchena says:
::winces as he listens to the music::

CMO_LtCmdr_Yates says:
@::The Turbo Lift stops and she exits out of it. She moves through the airlock wondering what to expect during this...celebration::

CTO_Jokeg says:
::hears the music:: Self: Didn't realize I had arrived on the Federation funny farm::

Host CO_Thraxis says:
@:: finds himself entering the airlock just behind Yates ::

Host CO_Thraxis says:
@CMO: Doctor! How are you today?

CMO_LtCmdr_Yates says:
@::She slows her pace as she realizes the Captain is behind her:: CO: Captain. ::She smiles:: CO: I'm doing rather well. Yourself?

CSO_Cmdr_Toms says:
:wonders what kind of refreshments will be on offer::

Host Cmdr_Stark says:
ACTION: Cmdr Stark walks through the Community Habitat positively beaming.  Several grunts follow behind wearing looks of death-warmed-over on their faces.

CTO_Jokeg says:
::goes to a console, finding out where the Pendragon is docked::

Host CO_Thraxis says:
@CMO: Not especially looking forward to this... soiree. But, it's good politics to stay on friendly terms with Station personnel.

CMO_LtCmdr_Yates says:
@CO: Do you know the Station Commander well?

CNS_Cmdr_Luchena says:
::continues to loiter, looking spiffy in his dress whites::

Host CO_Thraxis says:
@CMO: No, not really. She seems the all-business type.

CNS_Cmdr_Luchena says:
::notes the CO and CMO pass through the airlock::

CMO_LtCmdr_Yates says:
CO: Well then, we shall make fun for ourselves! ::Smiles as she enters the station::

Host Cmdr_Stark says:
ACTION: Cmdr Stark and her entourage find their way to the airlock where the CO has just popped through.

Host CO_Thraxis says:
:: nods to Luchena ::  CNS: Commander.

CSO_Cmdr_Toms says:
:wants nothing more then to be back on the Pen, drinking::

CNS_Cmdr_Luchena says:
::nods in return, then notices Stark and Co arrive::

CMO_LtCmdr_Yates says:
CNS: Hello, Mikal. ::Smiles warmly toward him::

CTO_Jokeg says:
::finds what he is looking for, heads off in that direction::

Host CO_Thraxis says:
:: forces a smile ::   Stark: Commander Stark.

CNS_Cmdr_Luchena says:
CMO:  Ashley.  ::smiles in return::

CMO_LtCmdr_Yates says:
::Looks toward Commander Stark curiously, wondering why she has 'followers'::

Host Cmdr_Stark says:
::smiling widely:: CO: Albaron, my dear Captain.  You came!  ::smiles even wider, as if her head may split into two::

CMO_LtCmdr_Yates says:
::Turns her attention toward the Captain. That didn't sound all business like to her::

CNS_Cmdr_Luchena says:
::steps up to the Captain's left, and stands formally::

Host CO_Thraxis says:
:: just a tad surprised... this isn't the Stark he encountered before ::

CSO_Cmdr_Toms says:
::enters the "celebration" quietly, and heads over to the bar::

Host Cmdr_Stark says:
ACTION: Cmdr Stark looks to the CNS and places a finger seductively to her lips before letting out a rather long sigh of contentment.

CTO_Jokeg says:
::sees a group of officers, one looks a lot like Cmdr Luchena::

CNS_Cmdr_Luchena says:
::eyes widen::

CMO_LtCmdr_Yates says:
::Her eyes widen as she watches the Commander. "Oh, no she didn't." She thought to herself::

CNS_Cmdr_Luchena says:
::is distracted by a familiar face down the corridor::

Host Cmdr_Stark says:
::turns in place and grabs one of the CO's arms, placing her own through his::  CO: Where is the wife?  She decide to take in a sick day?

CMO_LtCmdr_Yates says:
::She nudges Mikal a bit, annoyed slightly at Stark::

CNS_Cmdr_Luchena says:
CMO:  Ouch.

CMO_LtCmdr_Yates says:
::Whispers in his ear:: CNS: She is hiding something.

CNS_Cmdr_Luchena says:
CMO:  I'm not even going there.

Host CO_Thraxis says:
Stark:  Ah... She is feeling a bit run down. The telepathic encounter with the Gothric took a lot out of her.

CSO_Cmdr_Toms says:
::takes a seat near the view ports, and stares out at the stars::

CMO_LtCmdr_Yates says:
::She smiles a bit, understanding exactly where he is coming from::

CTO_Jokeg says:
::approaches Mikal:: CNS: Well well...good to see a familiar face.

Host Cmdr_Stark says:
CO: Ah, yes, nasty creatures those Gothric.... You should have called me.  I could have helped.

CNS_Cmdr_Luchena says:
CTO:  Commander Jokeg.  Sir.  ::for some odd reason feels like a raw ensign::

CMO_LtCmdr_Yates says:
::Her gaze turns to the Klingon man before her::

Host CO_Thraxis says:
Stark: Actually, my concern was to prevent the creature from attacking the station. We attempted to undock.

CTO_Jokeg says:
CNS: How have you been, last time I saw you was aboard the Luna.

CNS_Cmdr_Luchena says:
CTO:  By the Goddess.  It's been so long.  ::grins and rushes forward to embrace the Klingon::

Host Cmdr_Stark says:
CO: Yes, my engineers are working on it now.  They felt it warranted greater attention than attending the reception.

CMO_LtCmdr_Yates says:
::Watches Mikal and the Klingon for a few seconds and decides to just stare at the station until they were to head for the reception::

CTO_Jokeg says:
::stiffens up, clearly surprised:: CNS: Counselor...

Host CO_Thraxis says:
Stark: Yes, well, I am sorry about the damage to the docking collar. We didn't have a lot of time to make a neat undocking.

Host Cmdr_Stark says:
CO: Yes, yes.... never mind that.  Here we are.

CSO_Cmdr_Toms says:
::wonders at the greatness and the beauty. So long out in the night, wondering. He had forgotten the stars::

Host Cmdr_Stark says:
ACTION: The Pen crew and Stark's group reach the reception area.

CNS_Cmdr_Luchena says:
::steps back::  CTO:  Where are my manners?  This is Commander Yates, Chief Medical Officer of the Pendragon.  ::gestures toward the CMO::

CTO_Jokeg says:
::nods:: CMO: Doctor...

CMO_LtCmdr_Yates says:
CTO: It is a pleasure to meet you. ::She returns the nod::

CNS_Cmdr_Luchena says:
CTO:  What brings you to Deep Space 14, Sir?

CTO_Jokeg says:
CNS: I have been assigned to the Pendragon.

CNS_Cmdr_Luchena says:
::smiles broadly::  CTO:  Excellent news.

CMO_LtCmdr_Yates says:
::Watches the CTO curiously. Apparently Mikal and the man had a few things to catch up on. She smiles.:: CTO/CNS: Will you excuse me gentlemen. ::She moves over toward the CSO:: CSO: May I join you, Commander?

Host Cmdr_Stark says:
ACTION: Stark wanders off from the CO and the others to mingle amongst the other victims... er, guests.

CSO_Cmdr_Toms says:
::with drinking in hand, he starts to count, each with a name, a story, and a death. 1, Anabell, Cathala, 29, Lt....::

CTO_Jokeg says:
CNS: I take it you are serving aboard that ship as well?

CNS_Cmdr_Luchena says:
CO:  Captain!  ::calls out and follows him::

CSO_Cmdr_Toms says:
:: started out of his revere, looks up:: CMO: Certainly.

CMO_LtCmdr_Yates says:
::She takes a seat:: CSO: Thank you. How are you doing?

CNS_Cmdr_Luchena says:
::turns back:: CTO: Yes, I've recently been reassigned to her.

Host CO_Thraxis says:
:: turns at the sound of Mikal's voice ::  CNS: Yes?

CTO_Jokeg says:
::casually looks around the reception hall::

CNS_Cmdr_Luchena says:
::gestures for the CTO to follow::  CO:  Captain, we have a new crewman.  I'd like to introduce you.

Host Cmdr_Stark says:
ACTION: A live band plays at the front of the room and the keyboard player looks like he crawled out of his grave to attend.... sounds just as good too!

CSO_Cmdr_Toms says:
::smiles:: CMO: Never been one for parties. Too many people. You?

CTO_Jokeg says:
::comes to attention:: CO: Captain.

CNS_Cmdr_Luchena says:
::winces at the sound of the band::

CMO_LtCmdr_Yates says:
CSO: I find them rather enlightening, a chance to just have fun. ::She smiles:: CSO: After what has happened everyone needs a bit of a refresher.

Host CO_Thraxis says:
:: holds out his hand :: CTO: At ease, Commander...  ??

CMO_LtCmdr_Yates says:
::Looks toward the band and shakes her head:: CSO: Even if the entertainment is a bit... lowly.

CNS_Cmdr_Luchena says:
CO/CTO:  Excuse me.  ::makes his way to the front of the room::

Host Cmdr_Stark says:
ACTION: The keyboard player slumps forward a bit just as what sounds like snoring can be heard coming from him.

CTO_Jokeg says:
CO: Jokeg sir, House of T`Kerg, an honor to meet you ::shakes his hand::

CNS_Cmdr_Luchena says:
::has to get that man's body off the keyboard before he screams::

Host CO_Thraxis says:
CTO: The honor is mine, Commander. Welcome to the Pendragon.

CNS_Cmdr_Luchena says:
::steps into the band and unceremoniously dumps the keyboard player off the bench::

CSO_Cmdr_Toms says:
CMO: Almost never have the chance to relax with other people around. ::eyes drift back out to the stars::

CTO_Jokeg says:
CO: Thank you sir.

Host CO_Thraxis says:
CTO: Have you been able to get aboard the Pen and move into your quarters?

CTO_Jokeg says:
::casually notices the female officer walking about the group::

CMO_LtCmdr_Yates says:
CSO: But if you are in good company a party can be fun. ::She orders a white wine from a waiter::

Host Cmdr_Stark says:
ACTION: Two station crewmen look to the CNS with thankful eyes and cart off the keyboard player.

CNS_Cmdr_Luchena says:
::sits on the bench and listens::

CTO_Jokeg says:
CO: No sir not yet, I just arrived from Qo`NoS.

Host Cmdr_Stark says:
ACTION: The other band members continue to play along with the dreadful inspirational music.  Sounds like cats in a blender if you ask me.

CSO_Cmdr_Toms says:
::snaps back again:: CMO: Yes, so it is said. ::pauses:: What is your favourite number Commander?

CNS_Cmdr_Luchena says:
::puts his hands on the keys and tentatively joins in::

CMO_LtCmdr_Yates says:
CSO: Number? ::Pauses for a moment as she thinks:: CSO: The number 3 has always been my lucky number.

Host Cmdr_Stark says:
::moves back through the crowd to find the CO again::  CO: Lovely music, isn't it?

Host CO_Thraxis says:
:: nods ::  CTO: Well, don't feel you're obligated to hang around this party too long. When you need to leave, do so, with my blessings.

CNS_Cmdr_Luchena says:
::speeds a 1/4 beat ahead and attempts to lead the band into something less baroque::

Host CO_Thraxis says:
:: smiles diplomatically at Stark ::  Stark: Where did you find the musicians?

Host Cmdr_Stark says:
ACTION: The band, as if woken from a slumber, follow the CNS's lead.

CTO_Jokeg says:
::looks at the female that has approached the Captain, raising a eyebrow:: CO: Thank you Captain, I may stay a bit.

CSO_Cmdr_Toms says:
::smiles:: CMO: That one was taken a long time ago, but I'll see what I can do for you. ::turns back to the window once more::

CNS_Cmdr_Luchena says:
::looks at the CMO for inspiration as he plays::

Host Cmdr_Stark says:
::still smiling like a Stepford Wife::  CO: My personal favorites from around the station.  ::spies the tall, dark Klingon::  Who's your friend?

Host CO_Thraxis says:
Stark: Commander Stark, this is my new CTO, Commander Jokeg. Commander Jokeg, this is Commander Stark, station commander.

CNS_Cmdr_Luchena says:
::playing a sultry jazz number::

CMO_LtCmdr_Yates says:
::She smiles a bit:: CSO: What is your favorite? ::She looks out the window and as the music begins to get better she looks toward the band and smiles as she notices Mikal playing::

CTO_Jokeg says:
::nods:: Starks: Commander.

CNS_Cmdr_Luchena says:
::smiles at the CMO as he plays::

Host Cmdr_Stark says:
::turns sharply at the change in music, no longer paying attention to them::  CTO: Yes, yes.  Lovely.

CMO_LtCmdr_Yates says:
::She takes her glass of white wines and raises it in a toast toward him as he plays. She takes a sip as she awaits the CSO's answer::

CNS_Cmdr_Luchena says:
::blushes, then lowers his gaze::

CTO_Jokeg says:
::grunts under his breath, nods to the Captain and goes to find something to drink::

CSO_Cmdr_Toms says:
::continues to look at the stars:: CMO: Anything that hasn't come to pass is always a bonus. I used to like 16, but that to has passed me by. ::still naming the stars in his head::

Host Cmdr_Stark says:
::turns back suddenly::  CO: Now, let's get down to business.

Host CO_Thraxis says:
Stark: Business?

CMO_LtCmdr_Yates says:
::She cannot help but smile at the Commander's response:: CSO: Have you met our new crewmember? ::She looks for the CTO in hopes to gain his attention::

CNS_Cmdr_Luchena says:
::plays on, switching to a bluesier number::

CSO_Cmdr_Toms says:
::shakes his head:: CMO: No I haven't. 

Host Cmdr_Stark says:
CO: You nearly destroyed my station.  Perhaps, you have forgotten you are here as a guest?

CTO_Jokeg says:
::gets a good stiff bottle a scotch, a glass and heads for a seat, sees the doctor looking at him, heads that way::

CMO_LtCmdr_Yates says:
CSO: Lets see if we can... ::Smiles as the CTO heads their way:: CSO: Here he comes. ::She stands:: CTO: Would you care to join us, Commander?

Host Cmdr_Stark says:
ACTION: The crowd is becoming more active as the music carries on.  They act as though they had never heard decent music prior to now.

Host CO_Thraxis says:
:: stiffens ::  Stark: I did what I could to prevent a dangerous entity from attacking your station. Perhaps you forget that we both work for the same Starfleet.

CNS_Cmdr_Luchena says:
::closes his eyes, as he lets the music soar::

CSO_Cmdr_Toms says:
::turns back to look at the new CTO::

CTO_Jokeg says:
::nods, setting the scotch down on the table and sitting:: CMO: Thank you doctor.

CMO_LtCmdr_Yates says:
CTO: Commander Jokeg, I would like you to meet Commander Edward Toms, the Pendragon's Chief Science Officer.

CTO_Jokeg says:
CSO: Honor to meet you Commander, scotch anyone? ::pours himself a glass::

CMO_LtCmdr_Yates says:
::Gulps down her white wine and sets it down:: CTO: Sure.

Host Cmdr_Stark says:
::clears her throat and moves closer::  CO: I work for Starfleet.  You work for me.  It will serve your crew if you are crystal clear on this.

CTO_Jokeg says:
::grabs two more glasses and pours::

CSO_Cmdr_Toms says:
CTO: And to meet you, Commander. I'm fine on the scotch thanks. ::turns back to his view::

CTO_Jokeg says:
CSO, CMO: What do you know about the station commander over there?

CMO_LtCmdr_Yates says:
::Takes her glass and downs it in one shot:: CTO: Not much to be honest however, she seems to be a bit odd.

CTO_Jokeg says:
CMO,CSO: She has a interest in us, she was casually checking each of us out.

CNS_Cmdr_Luchena says:
::lost in the music::

Host CO_Thraxis says:
:: very coldly now ::  Stark: I've received no orders placing me under your command. That's twice now you've tried to assert a command prerogative over me. I will work with you in every way I can to accomplish our mission here... but until Starfleet Command tells me otherwise, I will not subordinate my crew's welfare to your demands.

CSO_Cmdr_Toms says:
::listens to the conversation, but says nothing::

CMO_LtCmdr_Yates says:
CTO: She was doing more then checking a few of us out... ::her gaze shifts to Mikal::

CTO_Jokeg says:
CMO: You notice something as well?

CMO_LtCmdr_Yates says:
CTO: No, it is nothing. ::She watches Mikal as he plays:: CTO: She just seems to have her own agenda, I just don't know what it is.

CTO_Jokeg says:
::nods, gulping down his scotch and pouring another::

Host Cmdr_Stark says:
CO: Very well.  Have it your way.  ::slaps Thraxis rather roughly on the back of the shoulder and turns her back to him::

CMO_LtCmdr_Yates says:
CTO/CSO: If you two will excuse me. ::She gets up and heads over to the band area, where she stands there watching them play::

Host CO_Thraxis says:
:: stares after Stark for a moment, then walks away ::

CTO_Jokeg says:
::nods to the doctor::

CNS_Cmdr_Luchena says:
::an edge creeps into the music::

CMO_LtCmdr_Yates says:
CNS: I didn't know you played. ::She moves closer to Mikal::

Host Cmdr_Stark says:
::moves to a corner of the room away from everyone else::

Host CO_Thraxis says:
:: joins Jokeg and Toms :: Both: Well, that was fun...

CNS_Cmdr_Luchena says:
::suddenly opens his eyes and meets the CMO's gaze::

CTO_Jokeg says:
::sees something on the Captain's uniform, the loud slap getting his attention::

CTO_Jokeg says:
CO: Captain turn around please...

Host Cmdr_Stark says:
ACTION: Most of the crowd is now focusing on Mikal's playing and ignoring most everything else.

CMO_LtCmdr_Yates says:
::She smiles as she meets his::

Host CO_Thraxis says:
:: looks at Jokeg quizzically, but does as the CTO asks ::

CSO_Cmdr_Toms says:
::looks to the CO::

Host Cmdr_Stark says:
ACTION: As the Captain turns around, he disappears in the stream of a transporter beam.

CNS_Cmdr_Luchena says:
::continues playing::

CTO_Jokeg says:
::stands, looking at what is on his shoulder::

CTO_Jokeg says:
::eyes widen::

CTO_Jokeg says:
CSO: The station commander! Where is she!

CSO_Cmdr_Toms says:
::shrugs::

CTO_Jokeg says:
All: The captain has been abducted!

Host Cmdr_Stark says:
ACTION: Stark seems to have disappeared as well.

CMO_LtCmdr_Yates says:
::Turns as she hears the CTO speak::

CNS_Cmdr_Luchena says:
::hears the CTO and stops playing::

CMO_LtCmdr_Yates says:
::She taps her Combadge:: *CO*: Yates to Captain Thraxis.

Host Cmdr_Stark says:
ACTION: The band lost in the music, continues to play on.

CNS_Cmdr_Luchena says:
::gets to his feet, knocking the keyboard from its stand::

Host CO_Thraxis says:
ACTION: Thraxis materializes in what appears to be a holding cell of some sort. From the hum of engines, he knows he must be aboard a ship... but he cannot place the type.

CTO_Jokeg says:
::goes to a console:: *SB_OPS*: Sound the alert, the captain of the Pendragon has been transported and possibly abducted!

CNS_Cmdr_Luchena says:
::as the situation finally sinks in, thinks of Jordan::

CMO_LtCmdr_Yates says:
::Shakes her head, this is ridiculous:: *CO*: Commander Yates to Captain Thraxis, please come in.

Host CO_Thraxis says:
#*CMO*: Thraxis here. What just happened?

CMO_LtCmdr_Yates says:
*CO*: Captain! We have no idea, you just seemed to have been taken somehow. Where are you? ::She motions for the CTO to move over to her so he can listen in::

CNS_Cmdr_Luchena says:
::goes a bit pale as he wonders how to tell her::

CTO_Jokeg says:
CNS: Commander Stark is gone as well.

CTO_Jokeg says:
::goes over to the doctor::

CNS_Cmdr_Luchena says:
CTO:  Stark?  ::looks around::

Host Cmdr_Stark says:
ACTION: Stations OPS sounds the alerts as requested.  But informs the CTO that several vessels had launched just prior to the request.

CTO_Jokeg says:
*SB_OPS*: Did you detect any transports off station?

CMO_LtCmdr_Yates says:
CTO: The station should monitor all transports in and out, they may know where the last one was directed.

Host CO_Thraxis says:
#*CMO*: I have no idea.   :: taps commbadge to open a second channel ::  *PEN*: Thraxis to Pendragon. Lock on to my signal and beam me aboard.

CNS_Cmdr_Luchena says:
::leaves the room at a brisk walk and heads back to the airlock::

Host Cmdr_Stark says:
ACTION: The communications signal to the CO is breaking up quickly.

CTO_Jokeg says:
::heads to the ship:: CMO: We should head back to the ship.

CNS_Cmdr_Luchena says:
::breaks into a run::

Host Cmdr_Stark says:
ACTION: The Pendragon fails to respond.

CTO_Jokeg says:
*Pen*: Pendragon track the Captains signal.

CNS_Cmdr_Luchena says:
::arrives at the airlock::

Host Cmdr_Stark says:
ACTION: Once again the Pendragon fails to respond.

CTO_Jokeg says:
::thinks where is everyone::

CMO_LtCmdr_Yates says:
*CO*: Captain, are you somewhere that is moving like a ship or? ::She nods. She runs to a console and attempts to track the signal from there::

Host CO_Thraxis says:
#:: taps badge again ::  *PEN*: Thraxis to Pendragon... acknowledge.

CNS_Cmdr_Luchena says:
@::passes through into the ship and keeps running::

CMO_LtCmdr_Yates says:
::Nods toward the CTO:: CTO: We should get to the ship quickly. ::She taps her Badge:: *Pendragon*: Yates to Pendragon. Lock onto the Senior Staff and transport them directly to the Bridge.

Host CO_Thraxis says:
#:: tap ::  *CMO*: Thraxis to Yates. Say again?

Host Cmdr_Stark says:
ACTION: There is no response from the Pendragon.

CTO_Jokeg says:
CMO: I can't raise anyone on the ship.

CNS_Cmdr_Luchena says:
@::heading to the Captain's quarters::

CMO_LtCmdr_Yates says:
*CO*: You do not seem to be on the station, sir. Can you describe your surroundings? ::She nods:: CTO: Then we need to get there now. Have the Starbase transport us there.

CNS_Cmdr_Luchena says:
@::hopes she is asleep and hasn't yet heard::

CTO_Jokeg says:
*SB_OPS*: OPS this is Jokeg, I need two for site-to-site transport to the Pendragon.

Host CO_Thraxis says:
# *CMO*: All I know is I am in a holding cell, aboard a ship.

Host Cmdr_Stark says:
ACTION: The comm signal to the CO vanishes.

Host Cmdr_Stark says:
ACTION: The site-to-site is completed.

CMO_LtCmdr_Yates says:
*CO*: Captain... Captain! ::She hits her Combadge a few times:: CTO: I have lost him!

CTO_Jokeg says:
::materializes on the bridge::

CTO_Jokeg says:
CMO: We need all data from the starbase, especially transport logs from the last 20 minutes.

CNS_Cmdr_Luchena says:
::hits the chime of the Captain's quarters::

CMO_LtCmdr_Yates says:
::She moves over to the Operations Console and begins the download:: CTO: Lets hope these help.

Host Cmdr_Stark says:
