Host Coot says:
Last time on the U.S.S. Pendragon . . .

Host Coot says:
The death of one nemesis ushered in the birth of a new nemesis. The mirror image of friend . . . ally . . . spouse . . . she is the embodiment of everything the Pendragon is not. Responsible for destruction in every life she touches she is accountable only to herself.

Host Coot says:
One life hangs in the balance, another fallen, and a third now believed in her clutches. The answers are fleeing deeper into Romulan space and the Pendragon now sits beyond the line few have been willing to violate before.

Host Coot says:
Fragile relationships break under the slightest pressure, but the ramifications of recent events have yet to be tallied. How many more will be broken and rebuilt, only to be broken once again?

CMO_Cmdr_Yates says:
::Ashley makes sure that Servek has everything that she needs in order to monitor the second Jordan, and then makes her way out of Sickbay for a Turbo Lift::

Host Coot says:
ACTION: The Pendragon hovers within reach of the Neutral Zone. Three scout vessels have taken up position amongst the wreckage and have been hailing the Pendragon for five minutes.

CSO_Cmdr_Toms says:
::reviewing sensor data from SCI 1::

XO_Cmdr_Luchena says:
::sitting on the bridge::

CMO_Cmdr_Yates says:
::She enters the Turbo Lift:: Computer: Bridge. ::She waits as it moves::

CEO_LtCmdr_Damien says:
::On the bridge at his station::

Host CO_Thraxis says:
@ :: lying on the pallet, having finally found some measure of sleep ::

XO_Cmdr_Luchena says:
::drums his fingers on the arm of the chair::

FCO_Lt_Maria_Rochelle says:
XO: Sir we are holding a few kilometers from the Neutral Zone sir.

CMO_Cmdr_Yates says:
::After a few minutes, the Turbo Lift stops and she steps out onto the Bridge::

Host Coot says:
ACTION: A blueberry muffin falls from the top of the TL and thunks Cmdr Yates in the shoulder.

XO_Cmdr_Luchena says:
FCO:  Right.  Open a channel to the lead Romulan ship.

Host XO_Cmdr_Luchena says:
::gestures for the CMO to sit in the XO's spot::

CMO_Cmdr_Yates says:
::She turns at the random object falling on her shoulder:: Self: A muffin? ::She picks it up, examines it, and then moves toward the Command Ring:: XO: Hungry?

FCO_Lt_Maria_Rochelle says:
XO: Yes sir, opening channel now sir.

Host XO_Cmdr_Luchena says:
::smiles::  CMO:  No, but thank you.

FCO_Lt_Maria_Rochelle says:
::hands move to open a channel to the lead Romulan ship::

Host XO_Cmdr_Luchena says:
COMM:  Romulan:  Thank god you're here!

CMO_Cmdr_Yates says:
::She shrugs slightly as she takes a seat in Mikal's usual spot. Ashley turns her attention to the situation at hand::

Host Coot says:
<Romulan> COMM: Pen: I was 30 seconds away from destroying you. What is your purpose here?

Host Coot says:
ACTION: The Romulans have fully charged their weapons and are targeting several key areas.

Host XO_Cmdr_Luchena says:
COMM:  Romulan:  We're on a mission of mercy.  We were attacked.

FCO_Lt_Maria_Rochelle says:
::hands move to make the escape vectors and ways of escape::

CMO_Cmdr_Yates says:
::She listens to the Romulan closely, noting that they could attack the Pendragon at any time::

Host XO_Cmdr_Luchena says:
::notes the Romulan weapons charging::

Host Coot says:
<Romulan> COMM: Pen: Funny . . . it would appear they did an improper job. We'll finish what the others could not.

FCO_Lt_Maria_Rochelle says:
XO: I have escape vectors and routes for battle already in the navigational computer.

Host XO_Cmdr_Luchena says:
COMM: Romulan:  Please!  We need your help.

CMO_Cmdr_Yates says:
~~~XO: You know they won't hesitate to attack us. Perhaps we can offer them something. I assume they also dislike the faction that took Jordan...~~~

Host XO_Cmdr_Luchena says:
~~~CMO:  I am holding ground until we find a trace of the Captain.  Beyond that.... ~~~  ::thoughts drift off::

CMO_Cmdr_Yates says:
~~~XO: Beyond that... asking them for help in that tone will make us sound weak.~~~ ::Ashley's thoughts sound rather firm::

Jr`dan says:
@::walking along the corridor, gets to where she's going ... looks into the cell.:: CO:  Well, look what we have here ....

Host Coot says:
<Romulan> COMM: Pen: Help? ::snickers::

Host XO_Cmdr_Luchena says:
~~~CMO:  If you really want to help, go quietly ask Edward if he's found anything.~~~

Host CO_Thraxis says:
@ :: sits up :: Jr'dan: Hello, Jordan.

CMO_Cmdr_Yates says:
~~~XO: You wanted my advice. Just remember that.~~~ ::She stands and moves toward Commander Toms::

Host Coot says:
ACTION: The Romulans fire a disruptor blast across the Pendragon's bow . . . a warning shot, but close enough to activate shields.

Host XO_Cmdr_Luchena says:
COMM:  Romulan:  We are in need of a spore from a moon in your territory.  Do you have a merchant class we could contract to pick some up?  Or would you yourselves care to help us, perhaps in trade?

Jr`dan says:
@::lowers the field and enters the cell:: CO:  Before we start, I really must take care of something ... ::scans him for his transponder::

CMO_Cmdr_Yates says:
::She shakes her head slightly:: CSO: Commander, have you had any luck?

CSO_Cmdr_Toms says:
CMO: Not as yet.

Host CO_Thraxis says:
@ Jr'dan: What you really must do, my love, is fight this artificial personality that has been placed in your mind, and retake control. You're a fighter, Jordan. I know you can beat this.

CMO_Cmdr_Yates says:
::She nods:: CSO: Please keep me informed. ::Ashley smiles slightly toward him and moves back to Mikal's side, not really sure if she likes it right there at the moment::

Jr`dan says:
@::finds what she is looking for ... removes a knife from a sheath on her belt.  Moves to cut the transponder out and destroy it::

Host CO_Thraxis says:
@ :: makes no move to resist ::

CMO_Cmdr_Yates says:
<Lt. Servek> ::She continues to monitor the second Jordan's life signs::

Host Coot says:
<Romulan> COMM: Trade? What on the Dark Side of the Moon could you possibly have to offer?

Jr`dan says:
@CO:  You really have things all wrong, Captain ... ::cuts out the transponder and crunches it under her boot::

CSO_Cmdr_Toms says:
CMO: Wait, I'm getting something. I have a course, went 20 minutes ago at high warp.

Host XO_Cmdr_Luchena says:
COMM:  Romulan:  We're just fully restocked.  Scan us if you wish.  Is there anything you could use?

Host CO_Thraxis says:
@ :: smiles :: Jr'dan: I don't think so. You are Jordan Thraxis. This superimposed personality is a fraud. 

CMO_Cmdr_Yates says:
::She turns her gaze toward the CSO and moves back toward him:: CSO: Can you determine the class ship?

CEO_LtCmdr_Damien says:
::quietly:: XO: I have a small amount of tri-lithium they might be interested in.

Jr`dan says:
@::resheathes the knife:: CO:  Are you really that ignorant, Captain?  I am not that pitiful creature you call Jordan ... I never have been.

Host XO_Cmdr_Luchena says:
::quietly::  CEO:  Understood.

CSO_Cmdr_Toms says:
CMO: It’s not a ship. Its traces of a transponder, keyed to the CO.

Host CO_Thraxis says:
@ :: shakes his head :: Jr'dan: Jordan has spoken to me, from your lips. You are Jordan Thraxis. 

Jr`dan says:
@CO:  I was created to infiltrate your pathetic Federation.  And as for your Jordan, I'm afraid she is very dead.

CMO_Cmdr_Yates says:
::She inclines her head:: CSO: What is the course? ::Ashley looks over his console::

Host CO_Thraxis says:
@ Jr'dan: You're still wrong. Wishful thinking will not help you. She's in there, and she'll beat...

Host Coot says:
@ ACTION: A section of skin falls away from Jr'dan's cheek. Romulan-hued flesh can be seen underneath.

Host CO_Thraxis says:
@:: looks at Jr'dan's face in horror ::

Jr`dan says:
@CO:  But I have something else in mind for you.  But first, I must deal with your ship.  I admit they are persistent ...

CSO_Cmdr_Toms says:
CMO: Seems it is towards the moon that we want to go to. ::pokes a couple of buttons:: I've isolated some residual warp signature, seems it came from a D-Deridex Warbird 

CMO_Cmdr_Yates says:
CSO: Wonderful. Transmit that information to the Captain's chair.

Host CO_Thraxis says:
@ :: his face hardens :: Jr'dan: They will destroy you.

Host Coot says:
<Romulan> COMM: I must ask why, once again, are you here? Have you not sought diplomatic channels?

Jr`dan says:
@CO:  I don't think so ... but if they do, they will destroy you as well.

CSO_Cmdr_Toms says:
::passes the info along::

Host XO_Cmdr_Luchena says:
COMM:  Romulan:  We don't have time for that nonsense.  One of our crew has contracted an illness.  Here.  Let our Doctor explain.  ::gestures toward the CMO::

Host CO_Thraxis says:
@ Jr'dan: They are prepared to do so.

Jr`dan says:
@CO:  We will see.  ::turns to leave::

Host XO_Cmdr_Luchena says:
::looks down at the command console::

Host XO_Cmdr_Luchena says:
~~~CMO:  Charm him.  Get us an escort or permission to proceed.~~~

CMO_Cmdr_Yates says:
::She raises a slight eyebrow and moves back toward the Command Ring:: ~~~XO: Charm him? Are you kidding me?~~~

Host CO_Thraxis says:
@ :: sits... and for the first time since this all began, feels the pangs of despair ::

FCO_Lt_Maria_Rochelle says:
CEO: Cmdr Damien, I have made up my mind about little Ashley.

Host XO_Cmdr_Luchena says:
::nods at the Romulan on screen and moves out of range of the viewer::

Jr`dan says:
@CO:  Don't worry ... I will put you to good use ... I imagine the Tal Shiar will find interrogating a Starfleet Captain quite useful ...

Host CO_Thraxis says:
@ :: closes his eyes, and says no more ::

CEO_LtCmdr_Damien says:
FCO: You made up your mind about MY cat? She's mine!

Host XO_Cmdr_Luchena says:
::moves towards the Engineering console and speaks quietly::  CEO:  Can we outrun them?

CEO_LtCmdr_Damien says:
XO: Yes. Depends on the FCO.

FCO_Lt_Maria_Rochelle says:
CEO: Relax Commander I have no intention of taking her from you.

Host XO_Cmdr_Luchena says:
FCO:  Not now!  By the goddess...  ::shakes his head::

Host Coot says:
ACTION: The Romulan onscreen looks quite unhappy.

CMO_Cmdr_Yates says:
::Ashley smiles slightly to the man on the viewscreen:: COM: Romulan: I thank you so much for taking the time to talk to us. You see... one of our crewmembers is very ill. She has been contracted with the rare FE-X virus, which is only treatable by the spores from Alpha Pictorus V.

FCO_Lt_Maria_Rochelle says:
XO: Just tell me where you want to go sir and I will get you there ASAP.

CEO_LtCmdr_Damien says:
::placated:: FCO: Rest assured she is well loved.

CMO_Cmdr_Yates says:
COM: Romulan: And... to be quite honest... we need your help or she and others could die. The virus could potentially spread... and then we could have an epidemic.

FCO_Lt_Maria_Rochelle says:
CEO: Just keep your word and I will leave her in your capable hands.

Host XO_Cmdr_Luchena says:
::quietly::  FCO:  Set course to Alpha Pictorus V and wait on my order to engage.

FCO_Lt_Maria_Rochelle says:
XO; Understood sir.

Host XO_Cmdr_Luchena says:
CEO:  Be prepared to give her all she's got, Jose.

Jr`dan says:
@::raises the forcefield and heads for the bridge::

FCO_Lt_Maria_Rochelle says:
::inputs the coordinates for  Alpha Pictorus V::

FCO_Lt_Maria_Rochelle says:
XO: Ready on your word sir.

FCO_Lt_Maria_Rochelle says:
CEO: How fast can we go?

CEO_LtCmdr_Damien says:
::slaps Lunch box on the back:: XO: Good job there Sir. You've got all I can give. ::moves a few levers::

Host XO_Cmdr_Luchena says:
::moves to the science console::

Host Coot says:
<Romulan> COMM: Then you die.  ::cuts comm::

CMO_Cmdr_Yates says:
COM: Romulan: You know that Medical Officers from every walk of life takes the oath... ::She raises an eyebrow:: XO: Well... that didn't go so well.

CEO_LtCmdr_Damien says:
FCO: Don't push her past warp 9.9

Host Coot says:
ACTION: The Romulans open fire.

Jr`dan says:
@::finally notices the loose skin on her face ... puts it back into place as best she can enroute::

FCO_Lt_Maria_Rochelle says:
CEO: You got it.  Will do  9.8.

Host XO_Cmdr_Luchena says:
CEO:  Shields up!  FCO:  Engage!

FCO_Lt_Maria_Rochelle says:
XO : Engaged at warp 9.8. Now!

FCO_Lt_Maria_Rochelle says:
::hands hit the correct sequence and the Pen jumps to warp 9.8 instantly::

Host XO_Cmdr_Luchena says:
CSO:  Keep your scans focused on our destination.

CMO_Cmdr_Yates says:
::She moves to one of the vacant seats quickly and takes it before the ship speeds off::

FCO_Lt_Maria_Rochelle says:
CEO: How are the engines?

Host Coot says:
ACTION: The Romulans hit the Pen several times before she can move.

FCO_Lt_Maria_Rochelle says:
XO: We have been hit sir.

Host XO_Cmdr_Luchena says:
CEO:  Damage?

Host XO_Cmdr_Luchena says:
FCO:  Keep going.

CSO_Cmdr_Toms says:
XO: Aye sir

CEO_LtCmdr_Damien says:
XO: Shields are at 73%

Host XO_Cmdr_Luchena says:
CMO:  Is there anyway to do a flyby transport and grab what we need from that moon?

FCO_Lt_Maria_Rochelle says:
XO: Understood sir.  ::continues the ships speed at 9.8::

Host Coot says:
ACTION: The Romulan vessels give chase, however another vessel has popped up on sensors.

FCO_Lt_Maria_Rochelle says:
Self:: Ut oh.

Host XO_Cmdr_Luchena says:
::fears he just made the biggest mistake of his life::

CMO_Cmdr_Yates says:
XO: I have no idea where exactly the materials are that I need. I have a general idea... and I can try to pinpoint a more exact location as we get closer.

FCO_Lt_Maria_Rochelle says:
XO: Sir I got another ship on the scanners sir.

Host XO_Cmdr_Luchena says:
FCO:  Keep going.

CMO_Cmdr_Yates says:
::She spins around to the side console and begins to activate the sensors::

FCO_Lt_Maria_Rochelle says:
XO; Continuing on sir warp 9.8.

Jr`dan says:
@::arrives on the bridge ... looks at the viewscreen::

Host XO_Cmdr_Luchena says:
::wonders what he has done::

FCO_Lt_Maria_Rochelle says:
Self: This could be a problem now.

CSO_Cmdr_Toms says:
CO: Sir, I have a new vessel on sensors. It from StarFleet Sir.

Host XO_Cmdr_Luchena says:
CSO:  Starfleet?

CMO_Cmdr_Yates says:
::She raises an eyebrow at the CSO's report::

FCO_Lt_Maria_Rochelle says:
CSO: Class ship?

CEO_LtCmdr_Damien says:
FCO/XO: We're going to need to slow down eventually

Host Coot says:
ACTION: Traces of yet one more vessel appear on sensors. This one is ahead of the Pendragon, same heading.

Host XO_Cmdr_Luchena says:
FCO:  Concentrate on flying Lt.

Host XO_Cmdr_Luchena says:
CSO:  Identify the ship.

FCO_Lt_Maria_Rochelle says:
XO: Understood sir, but by knowing the class of the ship sir it will make my job a bit easier as I would know how to fly our ship past her.

Host XO_Cmdr_Luchena says:
FCO:  If it’s Federation we don't mind running near to them.  Concentrate.

CSO_Cmdr_Toms says:
CO: Defiant Class sir. I believe it is the Pontifex

Host XO_Cmdr_Luchena says:
::goes pale::

CMO_Cmdr_Yates says:
::She begins to access the old scans from the moon from past scans:: XO: You do realize that our ETA is rather long...

Host Coot says:
ACTION: The Starfleet vessel opens fire on the trailing Romulan vessel.

FCO_Lt_Maria_Rochelle says:
XO: Understood sir.  ::Hand move across the boards making the adjustments for the Pontifex to miss her::

Host XO_Cmdr_Luchena says:
CMO:  If you have another idea, Doctor , please let me know.

Jr`dan says:
@::watches the Starfleet vessel fire on the Warbird ... smiles ... ::

CMO_Cmdr_Yates says:
XO: Now that we're on our way... we don't have a choice. ::She does not look up from the console::

Host Coot says:
ACTION: The Romulan patrols vessels break warp and turn on the Pontifex.

FCO_Lt_Maria_Rochelle says:
Self: This can't be good.

CEO_LtCmdr_Damien says:
XO: Sir! She's drawing the fire away from us!

Host XO_Cmdr_Luchena says:
::feels a burst of anger::

Host XO_Cmdr_Luchena says:
CEO/CSO:  Does she stand a chance of winning?

Host XO_Cmdr_Luchena says:
::fumes::

CEO_LtCmdr_Damien says:
XO: That would depend on a lot of things

Host Coot says:
ACTION: Two of the patrol vessels are destroyed, the third is attempting to run.

Jr`dan says:
@::quietly cloaks her vessel and slips away as the ships fire on each other::

Host XO_Cmdr_Luchena says:
FCO:  What's our ETA to that moon?

Jr`dan says:
@::sets course for the moon .... ::

FCO_Lt_Maria_Rochelle says:
::hands dance across the console inputting a new set of coordinates just in case the XO changes his mind::

FCO_Lt_Maria_Rochelle says:
XO: 6 days 18 hours present speed sir.

Host Coot says:
ACTION: The Pontifex closes in and eliminates the final patrol vessel.

FCO_Lt_Maria_Rochelle says:
XO: But we will have to drop from current speed sooner than that sir.

Host XO_Cmdr_Luchena says:
CEO:  How long can we maintain our current speed?

CMO_Cmdr_Yates says:
::She makes several notations on the console as to where she believes they could perform the beam-out and then turns her attention back to the viewscreen::

FCO_Lt_Maria_Rochelle says:
::watches the temperature of he engines::

CEO_LtCmdr_Damien says:
XO: Not more than another ten minutes

Jr`dan says:
@::orders the guards to bring the Captain up from his cell ... ::

Host XO_Cmdr_Luchena says:
Out loud:  We should turn back...

CMO_Cmdr_Yates says:
XO: And then what?

FCO_Lt_Maria_Rochelle says:
::hands dance across the console inputting the new warp speed and making for the allotments of time factors::

CEO_LtCmdr_Damien says:
XO: The distance to the moon is 14 hours current speed, 6 hours at warp 6, then back to full speed

Host XO_Cmdr_Luchena says:
CMO:  Then we lose two lives, but spare 400.

CEO_LtCmdr_Damien says:
XO: And maybe a hair better if I really work on it

CMO_Cmdr_Yates says:
::She does not go against nor affirm his order:: XO: That is your decision, Commander.

FCO_Lt_Maria_Rochelle says:
XO: Sir it is your decision.

Host XO_Cmdr_Luchena says:
::whirls around towards the CMO, livid with anger::  ~~~CMO:  For once, you have no opinion?~~~

Host XO_Cmdr_Luchena says:
FCO:  Maintain course.

Host XO_Cmdr_Luchena says:
CEO:  Do what you can Jose.

FCO_Lt_Maria_Rochelle says:
XO: Understood sir maintaining course.

CMO_Cmdr_Yates says:
~~~XO: My opinions don't seem to matter... so why voice it now?~~~ ::She does not show anger... she just shakes her head::

Host XO_Cmdr_Luchena says:
::would like to slap that woman::

Jr`dan says:
@<Guard> ::lowers the field and approaches the Captain, disruptor drawn:: CO:  You, come with me.

CMO_Cmdr_Yates says:
::She would love to slap the man... but she did not want to ruin her career for him:: ~~~XO: Next time... close your thoughts better, Commander.~~~ ::She continues to watch the viewscreen::

Host CO_Thraxis says:
@ :: sits up slowly, pain on his face :: Guard: All right... give me a moment...  :: stands, unsteadily ::

Host XO_Cmdr_Luchena says:
::eyes narrow as he vows to get her alone one last time::

Jr`dan says:
@<Guard> ::moves next to him and gives him a shove:: CO:  Move!

Host CO_Thraxis says:
@ :: falls to hand and knees :: Guard: I'm half-fried and peppered with shrapnel. Let me get my feet under me.

Jr`dan says:
@<Guard> ::looks unsympathic:: CO:  The Commander wants you on the bridge, you will move to the bridge!  ::picks him up roughly::

Host Coot says:
<Pontifex>  COMM: Pen: Looks like I can't take you anywhere. . .

CMO_Cmdr_Yates says:
::She rolls her eyes slightly, waiting for Mikal to make a decision for once::

Host CO_Thraxis says:
@ :: gets back up, sways for a second... then viciously elbows the guard in the face ::

Host XO_Cmdr_Luchena says:
COMM:  Pontifex:  Thank you for your help.  Have you more to offer?

Host CO_Thraxis says:
@ :: and as quickly kicks the guard's feet out from under him ::

Host Coot says:
@ ACTION: A sickening crunch is heard as the guard's nose is broken.

Host Coot says:
ACTION: Kyrron appears on screen.

Jr`dan says:
@<Guard> ::stumbles back and falls ... doesn't lose the disruptor.  Gets up quickly, aims and fires::

Host CO_Thraxis says:
@ :: kicks the guard in the groin, hoping to spoil his aim ::

Jr`dan says:
@<Guard>::manages to avoid the kick ... swipes at the CO's head::

CMO_Cmdr_Yates says:
::She takes in a deep breath, hoping that everyone on the Pontifex is fine::

Host Coot says:
<Kyrron> COMM: Pen: What have you in mind? You appear to be headed the wrong way.

Host CO_Thraxis says:
@ :: ducks, grabs the wrist of the hand with the disruptor and twists... very hard ::

Jr`dan says:
@<Guard> ::yelps in pain::

Host XO_Cmdr_Luchena says:
COMM:  Kyrron.  The wrong way?  What do you mean?

FCO_Lt_Maria_Rochelle says:
::continues to maintain the course but watches as the engine temps begin to rise slightly::

Host CO_Thraxis says:
@ :: twists again, and head-butts the guard between the eyes ::

Jr`dan says:
@<Guard2> ::hearing the commotion, moves in and stuns the CO::

Host Coot says:
<Kyrron> COMM: Pen: You are heading into Romulan space. And I am sure it's not for sightseeing.

Host CO_Thraxis says:
@ :: falls to the deck ::

Jr`dan says:
@<Guard2> ::stands over the fallen CO ... picks him up and carries him bodily to his Commander::

Host XO_Cmdr_Luchena says:
COMM:  Kyrron:  Captain Thraxis has been taken.  Plus we need to pick up a cure for Jordan.

CMO_Cmdr_Yates says:
Self: Yes... site-seeing.

Host XO_Cmdr_Luchena says:
::snaps:: CMO:  That's enough!

CMO_Cmdr_Yates says:
::She turns her gaze toward the XO:: XO: Is there a problem, Commander? ::She knows that her last comment was no more than a whisper::

FCO_Lt_Maria_Rochelle says:
Self: This is going to cause repercussions through out SFHQ.  That much is sure.

CEO_LtCmdr_Damien says:
Self: yeow

Jr`dan says:
@<Guard2> ::arrives on the bridge and deposits the unconscious CO at Jr'dan's feet.  Jr'dan:  He fought us.  We had to stun him.

Host XO_Cmdr_Luchena says:
CMO: Wait for me in the Captain's Ready Room.  That's an order, Doctor.

Host Coot says:
<Kyrron> COMM: Pen: Where is it and where is Thraxis?

FCO_Lt_Maria_Rochelle says:
::shakes head knowing that this is not a good sign at all::

CMO_Cmdr_Yates says:
::She rolls her eyes:: XO: As you wish, Commander. ::She places emphasis on his rank as she moves toward the Ready Room::

Jr`dan says:
::looks down at the CO:: Guard2:  Pick him up.  ::turns to her OPS officer:: R_OPS:  Hail the Pendragon.  Let's show them what we have ....

Host XO_Cmdr_Luchena says:
COMM:  Kyrron:  We believe he is being taken to Alpha Pictorus V, where, coincidently lies the spore we seek for Jordan.

Jr`dan says:
<R_OPS> ::sends the hail::

Host Coot says:
<Kyrron> COMM: Pen: Fair enough. Get out of Romulan space. Now. ::talks to someone off-screen before continuing:: I shall meet you in two weeks time. Name your place.

CMO_Cmdr_Yates says:
::She enters the Ready Room and takes a seat in one of the chairs. She really cannot stand taking orders from such a man::

Host XO_Cmdr_Luchena says:
::looks startled::  COMM:  Kyrron:  Ravenscar?

Host Coot says:
<Kyrron> COMM: Pen: Done. ::cuts the comm::

FCO_Lt_Maria_Rochelle says:
::hears the comm and does a double take::

Host Coot says:
ACTION: The Pontifex increases speed and vanishes from sight.

Host XO_Cmdr_Luchena says:
FCO:  Change course to Ravenscar.  Maximum warp.  CSO:  You have the bridge.  ::gets up and heads to the RR::

CSO_Cmdr_Toms says:
XO: Aye sir. ::remains at the SCI station::

FCO_Lt_Maria_Rochelle says:
XO: Understood sir.

CMO_Cmdr_Yates says:
::She crosses her legs and sits there waiting::

FCO_Lt_Maria_Rochelle says:
::already has the course plotted and laid in and just executes it::

Host XO_Cmdr_Luchena says:
::enters the Ready Room and stares at the CMO:  CMO:  What exactly is your problem, Doctor?

FCO_Lt_Maria_Rochelle says:
CSO: Incoming Romulan vessel and it is hailing us.

Host Coot says:
ACTION: The Pendragon alters course and makes a break for Federation Space.

CMO_Cmdr_Yates says:
XO: I don't have the slightest idea what you are talking about, Commander. Would you please elaborate?

FCO_Lt_Maria_Rochelle says:
CSO: Correction sir ship is running parallel to us and they are hailing us.

Host XO_Cmdr_Luchena says:
CMO:  I've had it with your second guessing my decisions and your disrespect in front of the crew.

CSO_Cmdr_Toms says:
FCO: On screen :: moves towards the viewscreen::

Host Coot says:
ACTION: Jr'dan appears on screen.

Jr`dan says:
@::smiles cruelly:: COMM: CSO:  Where is Luchena?

FCO_Lt_Maria_Rochelle says:
CSO: Aye sir.  ::puts it on the view screen::

FCO_Lt_Maria_Rochelle says:
::does a double take::

CSO_Cmdr_Toms says:
COMM: Ah, lovely to see you again there Ms. Thraxis. The Commander is a bit indisposed at the moment, how can I help?

FCO_Lt_Maria_Rochelle says:
