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

Host Cootles says:
The U.S.S. Pendragon destroyed a Klingon vessel the Romulans meant no one to find. To the great irritation of the Romulans, the Pendragon and her Crew escaped, leaving the Romulans to vent their frustration on one of their own.

Host Cootles says:
The Romulan scout ship lay in tatters and the SS Norwalk, a Starfleet science vessel, is being blamed for the incident. Diplomatic talks are ongoing, but given the brash behavior of the Romulans, the crew of the Norwalk may not have much time.

Host Cootles says:

ACTION: The Pendragon is on patrol near the Neutral Zone. Several other vessels are in the area.

Host CO_Capt_Vn`dor_Phail says:
::in the center chair on the bridge::

CEO_Cmdr_Damien says:
::In main engineering, looking things over, all is well::

XO_Cmdr_Yates says:
::Ashley is reading a PADD regarding the situation that arose between the Klingons and the Romulans from her chair on the Bridge::

CIV_Luchena says:
::in the Crystal Cave pondering the wreckage that is his life::

aCTO_LT_Tribble says:
::keeping a sharp look-out for over-zealous Romulan Commanders who may “accidentally” slip into the Neutral Zone area::

XO_Cmdr_Yates says:
<Cmdr. Kirchof> ::Alicia steps onto the Bridge of the Pendragon::

Jordan_Thraxis says:
::on the bridge at OPS::

Host CO_Capt_Vn`dor_Phail says:
aCTO: I'm expecting the Defiant class Pontifex to arrive in the area.  I'll need to be informed once she does so

aCTO_LT_Tribble says:
CO: Aye, Sir.

Host CO_Capt_Vn`dor_Phail says:
Kirchof: Welcome back Commander.

Host CO_Capt_Vn`dor_Phail says:
XO: Any questions?

XO_Cmdr_Yates says:
::She looks toward Captain Vn'dor, wondering what exactly the plans are for the Pendragon during this mission. From what she could gather, things were going to change very soon::

aCTO_LT_Tribble says:
::nods to Kirchof:: Commander.

XO_Cmdr_Yates says:
<Cmdr. Kirchof> ::She makes her way toward the command ring:: CO: Thank you Captain. ::She nods toward Yates:: XO: A pleasure Commander.

Host Cootles says:
ACTION: An internal comm reports that someone is tapping on the hull outside the cargo bay.

Host CO_Capt_Vn`dor_Phail says:
::stands:: Bridge: Now that we are all present....

XO_Cmdr_Yates says:
::She returns the smile:: Kirchof: It's good to see you again Commander. ::She looks up from her PADD:: CO: Nothing with regards to our Starfleet issued orders Captain. ::She watches him stand::

Jordan_Thraxis says:
::hears the comm:: Self:  What the?  CO:  Sir, someone is knocking on the cargo bay door ... from the outside ...

aCTO_LT_Tribble says:
CO: Sending a security detail there now.

XO_Cmdr_Yates says:
<Cmdr. Kirchof> ::She looks at Jordan curiously::

XO_Cmdr_Yates says:
::She turns her attention to Jordan:: Jordan: Knocking?

Host CO_Capt_Vn`dor_Phail says:
::raises an eyebrow at Jordan and turns to Tribble::  aCTO: Get someone down there. Once they are in place we'll open the doors.

Host CO_Capt_Vn`dor_Phail says:
aCTO: Thank you.

Jordan_Thraxis says:
XO:  That's what I heard.

Host CO_Capt_Vn`dor_Phail says:
::looks around the bridge::  XO: Where is Captain Luchena?

aCTO_LT_Tribble says:
*Mulder* Ensign Mulder, take a security detail to the hull by the cargo bay.

Host Cootles says:
ACTION: A second internal comm reports that the tapping has become rhythmic.

XO_Cmdr_Yates says:
Jordan: Very weird indeed. ::She looks toward Vn'dor:: CO: I don't know Captain. Would you like me to have him report to the Bridge?

CIV_Luchena says:
::turns his head and ~~~listens~~~::

Host CO_Capt_Vn`dor_Phail says:
XO: Please do Commander.

XO_Cmdr_Yates says:
<Cmdr. Kirchof> ::She cannot help but wonder what exactly would be knocking on the ship. It was a bit... well... peculiar::

Jordan_Thraxis says:
::shakes her head ... wondering how she'll report this one:: XO:  Apparently, the tapping has quite a rhythm to it ...

aCTO_LT_Tribble says:
*Scully* Take a security detail to the inside of the cargo bay.  Mulder will be investigating a tapping sound outside.  Please keep in close communication with him and me.

XO_Cmdr_Yates says:
CO: Understood Captain. ::She pauses:: Jordan: Does it resemble anything? Maybe run it through our database.

CIV_Luchena says:
::starts tapping his fingers on the bar::

Host CO_Capt_Vn`dor_Phail says:
Bridge: Okay...  we won't wait for the missing....  You all received our orders?

Jordan_Thraxis says:
XO:  I'll see if I can get a scan ... ::scans the area for lifesigns::

Host Cootles says:
ACTION: To those who can make it out, it is Morse Code.... it is simply saying "Pontifex."

XO_Cmdr_Yates says:
::She taps her Combadge:: *CIV*: Bridge to Mister Luchena. Captain Vn'dor requests your presence on the Bridge.

CEO_Cmdr_Damien says:
::leaves engineering for the bridge::

aCTO_LT_Tribble says:
<Scully> aCTO: Security team in place, Ma'am.

XO_Cmdr_Yates says:
::She taps her Combadge:: *CEO*: Commander, please report to the Bridge.

CIV_Luchena says:
::sighs::

CIV_Luchena says:
*XO*:  On my way.

CEO_Cmdr_Damien says:
*XO*: I'm already on my way.

XO_Cmdr_Yates says:
<Cmdr. Kirchof> ::She perks up a bit:: Jordan: Morse code...

Jordan_Thraxis says:
::recalls something from ancient earth history ... quickly looks it up::

aCTO_LT_Tribble says:
<Mulder> *aCTO*: We are coming up to the hull by the cargo bay, but don't see anyone yet.

CIV_Luchena says:
::slowly peels his butt off the bar stool::

XO_Cmdr_Yates says:
<Cmdr. Kirchof> Jordan: I'm not really well-versed in it, but there is a pattern that resembles letters. Earth's ancient history. ::She makes her way over to Jordan::

Jordan_Thraxis says:
Kirchof:  I believe so ... ::brings up the list of letters and compares it to the rhythm reported::

aCTO_LT_Tribble says:
Computer: Computer, analyze the tapping.

Host CO_Capt_Vn`dor_Phail says:
::continues to listen to the exchange between the two Commanders and Jordan::

CIV_Luchena says:
::enters a turbo lift::  TL:  Bridge.

CEO_Cmdr_Damien says:
::gets into the turbolift:: TL: Bridge.

XO_Cmdr_Yates says:
*CEO*: Very good. I'll see you in a few. Yates out. ::She cuts the comm and waits for the analysis::

Jordan_Thraxis says:
Kirchof:  First letter is a P ...

aCTO_LT_Tribble says:
<Computer> aCTO: Working.

Host Cootles says:
<CPU> CTO: It is a repetitive message, "Pontifex."

CIV_Luchena says:
::steps out onto the bridge::

Host CO_Capt_Vn`dor_Phail says:
::nods at Luchena's arrival::

XO_Cmdr_Yates says:
<Cmdr. Kirchof> ::She moves in behind Jordan and looks over her readings:: Jordan: Quite an interesting form of communication.

aCTO_LT_Tribble says:
CO: Pontifex, Sir? ::looks questioningly::

Jordan_Thraxis says:
::wonders why she didn't think to get the computer to do it::

CIV_Luchena says:
::moves to a secondary console and logs on::

Host CO_Capt_Vn`dor_Phail says:
::smiles::  aCTO: It seems our guests have arrived.

XO_Cmdr_Yates says:
::She raises an eyebrow at the name:: CO: Captain?

Jordan_Thraxis says:
Kirchof:  Agreed.  Cumbersome, though.

CEO_Cmdr_Damien says:
::arrives on the bridge, the turbolift apparently slowed by someone else’s arrival::

aCTO_LT_Tribble says:
<Mulder> *aCTO* Still don't see anything.

CIV_Luchena says:
All:  Do we have her on sensors?

Host CO_Capt_Vn`dor_Phail says:
aCTO: Have your team send a message back telling them they have my permission to board.

XO_Cmdr_Yates says:
<Cmdr. Kirchof> Jordan: It did work in a time when communications were... lacking. ::She smiles::

Host CO_Capt_Vn`dor_Phail says:
CEO: Welcome Commander.

aCTO_LT_Tribble says:
CO: Sir?

Host Cootles says:
ACTION: Tactical scanners have now adjusted and show the Pontifex is being masked by the Pendragon. To any other vessels in the area, the Pontifex would not be seen on sensors.

XO_Cmdr_Yates says:
::She smiles at Jose as he arrives::

CEO_Cmdr_Damien says:
::nods:: CO: Captain. What’s going on?

Jordan_Thraxis says:
Kirchof:  I still can't see how it could have worked, though.  Doing a message letter by letter ... ::shakes her head::

XO_Cmdr_Yates says:
CO: I take it the Pontifex is not supposed to be seen or heard?

aCTO_LT_Tribble says:
CO: Tactical scans show the Pontifex.

Host CO_Capt_Vn`dor_Phail says:
CEO: You are all about to find out very soon Commander.  As soon as our guests arrive.

CIV_Luchena says:
::recalls that the Pontifex once had a cloaking device::

CEO_Cmdr_Damien says:
::Guests:: CO: I'll take my station for the time being

aCTO_LT_Tribble says:
<Mulder> *aCTO* It's a ship.

XO_Cmdr_Yates says:
<Cmdr. Kirchof> Jordan: A long process, but it was highly sophisticated for the time. During war times, it helped forces a great deal.

CIV_Luchena says:
::recalls that he didn't see any evidence of it during his most recent trip aboard her::

aCTO_LT_Tribble says:
*Mulder* Advice them they are welcome to enter our cargo bay.

aCTO_LT_Tribble says:
*Scully* Be prepared for the entry of the Pontifex into our cargo bay.

CIV_Luchena says:
::vaguely recalls ripping his cabin to pieces his last time on the Pontifex::

XO_Cmdr_Yates says:
::She recalls the Pontifex quite well. Ashley wonders what exactly they are getting themselves into::

aCTO_LT_Tribble says:
::Scully orders her team to draw phasers set on stun just in case.::

Host Cootles says:
ACTION: The Tactical detail secures the Cargo Bay and opens the doors, revealing the emptiness of space. A lone figure steps into the cargo bay from the nothingness and nods to Mulder.

CIV_Luchena says:
::is not looking forward to seeing Kyrron again::

Host CO_Capt_Vn`dor_Phail says:
Jordan: Any word from the ship yet?

XO_Cmdr_Yates says:
::Ashley realizes that she is standing next to her chair. She decides to take her seat until the Captain decides to address the crew. She knew that there was some information that they were not yet privy too, but, thus was the way of Starfleet::

aCTO_LT_Tribble says:
<Mulder> Lone figure: Welcome to the Pendragon.  I am Ensign Mulder.

Jordan_Thraxis says:
CO:  No, sir.

Host CO_Capt_Vn`dor_Phail says:
XO: Perhaps you should go meet our guests Commander.

Host CO_Capt_Vn`dor_Phail says:
XO: They may be waiting for a command level figure.

CIV_Luchena says:
CO:  I'd like to accompany her, Captain.

Host CO_Capt_Vn`dor_Phail says:
::nods at Luchena::

aCTO_LT_Tribble says:
<Scully> *aCTO* There is no ship.  Just a lone figure.

CIV_Luchena says:
::logs off his console::

XO_Cmdr_Yates says:
::She stands from her station:: CO: Of course Captain. ::She does not make any indication to Luchena as she makes her way toward the Turbo Lift::

CIV_Luchena says:
::follows the XO into the lift::

XO_Cmdr_Yates says:
::Ashley enters the Turbo Lift and orders it to the Cargo Bay::

Host Cootles says:
<Lt_Huff> TO: Mulder, a pleasure to meet you. I am Lt Huff. ::tosses a scrap piece of metal at the opening, causing the shields of the Pontifex to ripple:: The Pontifex is ready when you are.

XO_Cmdr_Yates says:
<Cmdr. Kirchof> CO: Do you know our guests well Captain?

CIV_Luchena says:
XO:  I'm not signing the decree until we try one last time.

aCTO_LT_Tribble says:
*Mulder and Scully* The XO is on the way to you.

aCTO_LT_Tribble says:
<Mulder> Huff: Ready?

XO_Cmdr_Yates says:
::She folds her arms behind her back and waits as the lift moves:: CIV: This isn't the time or the place Mister Luchena. ::Before he can respond, the lift doors open, and she exits::

Host CO_Capt_Vn`dor_Phail says:
Kirchof: I am familiar on a vague level of her Captain.  We once participated in a fierce space battle together.  She is a fine tactical combatant

CIV_Luchena says:
~~~XO:  Marriage counselling.~~~  ::follows her::

Host Cootles says:
<Lt_Huff> ::looks over to Scully and grins:: TO: Well, hello there...  ::grins all mysterious-like::

XO_Cmdr_Yates says:
<Cmdr. Kirchof> ::She nods:: CO: Well then, it's good news that we'll have her on our team.

aCTO_LT_Tribble says:
<Scully> Huff: Sir.

Host CO_Capt_Vn`dor_Phail says:
Jordan: Ms Thraxis, intercepting any Romulan transmissions? 

Host Cootles says:
<Lt_Huff> Mulder: Yes, sorry.  ::starts paying attention again::

XO_Cmdr_Yates says:
::She ignores Mikal as she steps into the Cargo Bay. She notices the figure and makes her way toward him:: Huff: Welcome to the Pendragon. I'm Commander Yates, the Executive Officer. This is Mister Luchena. ::She motions to Mikal::

aCTO_LT_Tribble says:
<Scully> Huff: Our XO is on the way here.

CIV_Luchena says:
::waves at the Lieutenant::

Jordan_Thraxis says:
CO:  Only the usual traffic .. and a report that we are snooping around.

CIV_Luchena says:
~~~XO:  Since we have no counselor aboard, we might want to ask Captain Vn'dor to mediate.~~~

Host CO_Capt_Vn`dor_Phail says:
::raises an eyebrow and chuckles::  Jordan: That's something we do best in the Federation....   snoop.  ::shakes head and smiles::

CEO_Cmdr_Damien says:
::runs a few passive scans::

aCTO_LT_Tribble says:
<Scully> XO: Shall we stand down?

XO_Cmdr_Yates says:
::She smiles:: Scully/Mulder: Please do Ensigns.

Jordan_Thraxis says:
::Laughs:: CO:  You could say that.

aCTO_LT_Tribble says:
::Scully orders security details to stand down::

Host CO_Capt_Vn`dor_Phail says:
aCTO: Fleet positions?

XO_Cmdr_Yates says:
::Ashley places mental barriers around her mind in an attempt to block out Mikal. She really did not want to deal with him right now::

XO_Cmdr_Yates says:
<Cmdr. Kirchof> ::She smirks a bit at Vn'dor's comment about snooping. She had her fair share of that last mission::

Host Cootles says:
<Lt_Huff> ::takes in the sights of the welcoming party:: ALL: Captain Kyrron is waiting your arrival. We have had trouble with the cloaking device and I'll be damned if the thing isn't stuck in the "ON" position. ::keeps on grinning::

CIV_Luchena says:
::smiles at Huff::

aCTO_LT_Tribble says:
::Scully whispers to Mulder::  Why all that grinning?

Host CO_Capt_Vn`dor_Phail says:
Bridge: Well I think it is time to fill you all in on the mission.  This mission is unofficial and if we are caught the Federation will claim no prior knowledge.

XO_Cmdr_Yates says:
::She cannot help but return the smile:: Huff: Well then, we'll just have to make due with what we have. ::She wishes she knew the situation:: Huff: Let me confirm with Captain Vn'dor before we make any arrangements. ::She taps her Combadge:: *CO*: Commander Yates to Captain Vn'dor.

XO_Cmdr_Yates says:
<Cmdr. Kirchof> ::She shifts her gaze to Vn'dor::

Host Cootles says:
<Lt_Huff> ::makes note of all the sexual tension in the room and figures it must just be him::

CIV_Luchena says:
::sidles over beside Huff::  Huff:  So this is all hush hush then?

Host CO_Capt_Vn`dor_Phail says:
Bridge: Because of our last mission, the Romulan Star Empire is trying to frame the crew of the SS Norwalk for the Romulan Scout ship's destruction....  likely trying to lure us into their territory.  It's an obvious trap in my opinion.

Host Cootles says:
<Lt_Huff> CIV: This is your fight Captain. We just happen to be in the right place at the right time.

CEO_Cmdr_Damien says:
All: More Romulan propaganda.

aCTO_LT_Tribble says:
CO: How can we help, Sir?

Jordan_Thraxis says:
::sits silently::

CIV_Luchena says:
Huff:  It's those damn Romulans again.  ::figures its a good guess seeing how close they are to the neutral zone::

Host CO_Capt_Vn`dor_Phail says:
::waiting to respond to Yates::  Bridge: They are holding her crew about two light years away.  I'd like all of you to assist in their rescue.  You may turn this mission down if you'd like.  ::looks around the room::

XO_Cmdr_Yates says:
::She looks at Mikal but says nothing::

Host CO_Capt_Vn`dor_Phail says:
::smiles at the aCTO not waiting for him to finish before offering her help::

Jordan_Thraxis says:
::gets a powerful feeling of revenge::

Host CO_Capt_Vn`dor_Phail says:
*XO* Yes Commander.

XO_Cmdr_Yates says:
<Cmdr. Kirchof> ::She nods in understanding, knowing what her role will be::

XO_Cmdr_Yates says:
*CO*: Captain, a representative from the Pontifex has arrived. He states that Captain Kyrron is... awaiting our arrival. Your orders sir?

Host CO_Capt_Vn`dor_Phail says:
Bridge: This is the reason I will be leaving the Pendragon in Kirchof's care  ::motioning to Kirchof::

Host Cootles says:
<Lt_Huff> CIV: ...are your damned Romulans and holding innocents hostage.... Time to settle the score, in my opinion, seeing as the Pontifex is officially on shore leave halfway across the Quadrant.

Host CO_Capt_Vn`dor_Phail says:
*XO*: You may proceed...  I'll join you shortly.

CIV_Luchena says:
Huff:  Rescue and vengeance is it?

CEO_Cmdr_Damien says:
CO: You can count me in.

XO_Cmdr_Yates says:
*CO*: Understood Captain. ::She looks at Mikal and places her hand in the air:: Huff: Lieutenant, our Captain would like for Mister Luchena and I to board the Pontifex. I believe he will be arriving shortly with another team of officers.

Host CO_Capt_Vn`dor_Phail says:
::nods at his crew::  Bridge: Then let's get to the cargo bay.  ::steps over toward the TL then stops::  Kirchof: We'll see you shortly Commander.  Take care of her.  ::looks around the bridge with his eyes::

Host Cootles says:
<Lt_Huff> CIV: We do not seek revenge, simply justice.

XO_Cmdr_Yates says:
<Cmdr. Kirchof> Away Team: God speed, all of you. ::She smiles at them:: And good luck.

Jordan_Thraxis says:
::gets up ... is really looking forward to this::

Host CO_Capt_Vn`dor_Phail says:
::steps into the lift and waits for whomever wishes... to follow::

CEO_Cmdr_Damien says:
::follows the captain::

XO_Cmdr_Yates says:
Huff: Which is a quality of a good Starfleet Officer and moral citizen. ::She says with a slight smile::

CIV_Luchena says:
Huff:  And  how is Captain Kyrron?

Jordan_Thraxis says:
::follows and enters the TL with the Captain::

Host CO_Capt_Vn`dor_Phail says:
TL: Cargo Bay One.

Host Cootles says:
<Lt_Huff> XO: Thank you, Commander, but I am feeling rather immoral today. I make no promise or excuses for my actions.

aCTO_LT_Tribble says:
::orders Scully to the tactical position and follows the CO::

CIV_Luchena says:
Huff:  I know how you feel Lieutenant.  ::smiles warmly::

Host CO_Capt_Vn`dor_Phail says:
::feels the lift come to a stop across from the Cargo Bay and steps out::

XO_Cmdr_Yates says:
::She watches Huff closely:: Huff: Although this is an unofficial mission, we all still have standards to uphold. ::She looks toward the Captain as he steps out::

Jordan_Thraxis says:
::follows the CO, staying very quiet::

CEO_Cmdr_Damien says:
::steps out of the turbolift and follows along::

Host CO_Capt_Vn`dor_Phail says:
::moves into the bay and nods at Huff as he passes::  Huff: Captain Vn'dor and team.

XO_Cmdr_Yates says:
<Cmdr. Kirchof> ::She walks over to the command chair and takes a seat::

CIV_Luchena says:
::stands aside as the CO approaches::

Host Cootles says:
<Lt_Huff> XO: You may board at your leisure. ::motions to the blank space outside the cargo doors::

Host CO_Capt_Vn`dor_Phail says:
::takes a gaps of air and then proceeds hoping there is something there::

Host Cootles says:
<Lt_Huff> CIV: The Captain?  You want the "official" answer or the truthful one?

CIV_Luchena says:
::walks briskly through the open bay doors::

XO_Cmdr_Yates says:
::She waits for the Captain to make the first move. After all, Ashley knows that he is the one Kyrron would want to see first. She follows after him::

CIV_Luchena says:
::stops::  Huff:  The truth of course.

Jordan_Thraxis says:
::follows ... ::

XO_Cmdr_Yates says:
~~~Jordan: I may need to speak to you after all of this... I know it has been a while, but you're the only one I think I can turn to.~~~ ::She takes in a deep breath as she steps through::

Host CO_Capt_Vn`dor_Phail says:
::waits for Huff to follow the rest so they can be escorted to Kyrron and the bridge despite being familiar with Defiant classes himself::

Host Cootles says:
ACTION: Each of those exiting the cargo bay disappear in turn, as seen from the Pendragon. They notice the scenery change from empty space to the hall of a docking mechanism.

Host Cootles says:
<Lt_Huff> ::whispers::  CIV: She's the same harsh bitch she always was....

CEO_Cmdr_Damien says:
::enters the ship::

CIV_Luchena says:
::laughs and steps across the barrier::

Jordan_Thraxis says:
::looks over at the XO:: ~~~XO: What is it?~~~

XO_Cmdr_Yates says:
::She notes the change with relief:: ~~~Jordan: Divorce...~~~

Host CO_Capt_Vn`dor_Phail says:
::looking toward the still visible Pendragon Cargo Bay waiting for Huff::

Jordan_Thraxis says:
::looks over to the XO and nods::

XO_Cmdr_Yates says:
::She turns and waits for Captain Vn'dor::

CIV_Luchena says:
::suppresses a shudder::

Host CO_Capt_Vn`dor_Phail says:
Huff: You may take us to the bridge now.

Host Cootles says:
<Lt_Huff> ::motions to the lift::  ALL: The Captain is on the bridge.  ::turns to secure the docking mechanism::

Jordan_Thraxis says:
::heads for the lift with the others::

Host CO_Capt_Vn`dor_Phail says:
::steps into the lift::

CIV_Luchena says:
::looks at the lift thinking its going to be very crowded::

CEO_Cmdr_Damien says:
::feels like a lemming, but follows::

XO_Cmdr_Yates says:
::She follows behind Jordan. Ashley loved the look of a Defiant Class Starship. The Pharaoh was one of the most interesting assignments she had::

Host Cootles says:
<Lt_Huff> CO: I will be staying here. Pondering what the cold vacuum of space feels like....

XO_Cmdr_Yates says:
CO: Perhaps we should take turns on the lift, Captain. One group first, and then another.

CIV_Luchena says:
::steps into the lift::

CIV_Luchena says:
::looks over at the CEO::

Host CO_Capt_Vn`dor_Phail says:
::arrives on the bridge and see's the Zaldan woman::  Kyrron: Permission to come aboard Captain.

Jordan_Thraxis says:
::as she walks she looks around::

CEO_Cmdr_Damien says:
::wonders why Lunch Box is looking at him::

CIV_Luchena says:
::huddles in the back of the lift hoping Kyrron doesn't notice him::

aCTO_LT_Tribble says:
CIV: Are you all right?

XO_Cmdr_Yates says:
::Ashley notes that they are all now on the Bridge. She remains slightly behind the Captain as he addresses Kyrron::

Host Cootles says:
ACTION: A short time later, the Pendragon Crew begins arriving on the bridge. Captain Kyrron turns to greet them, looking ravishing... ravishingly insane, that is.

CIV_Luchena says:
::startles::  aCTO:  Fine.  Thank you for asking.  ::smiles weakly::

CEO_Cmdr_Damien says:
::wonders what is up with Kyrron::

Jordan_Thraxis says:
::stands on the bridge with the XO::

aCTO_LT_Tribble says:
CIV: Don't you think something is a bit odd?

Host Cootles says:
SCENE: The various members of the bridge crew keep their heads down as they make for the exits. They were clearly given instructions prior to the Pendragon's arrival.

XO_Cmdr_Yates says:
::She looks toward Jordan and smiles briefly before stepping deeper into the Bridge, to give the crew a bit more room, and to avoid the others leaving::

CIV_Luchena says:
aCTO:  Everything is a bit odd these days.

Host CO_Capt_Vn`dor_Phail says:
::wonders why Kyrron doesn't respond::  Kyrron: Permission to come aboard Captain.

aCTO_LT_Tribble says:
::fingers phaser, wondering if she will need to use it:: CIV: I don't mean figuratively.

XO_Cmdr_Yates says:
::Ashley folds her hands behind her back and waits to be addressed by one of the two Commanding Officers:: ~~~Jordan: An odd turn of events...~~~

Jordan_Thraxis says:
~~~ XO:  I know ... and yet, I don't even know why I came ... ~~~

Host CO_Capt_Vn`dor_Phail says:
::steps over to Kyrron and grips her shoulder::  Kyrron: Captain?

Host Cootles says:
SCENE: Kyrron simply nods and remains silent.

XO_Cmdr_Yates says:
~~~Jordan: I've only read up on the situation. You experienced it with the others. Are you sure you'll be okay with this? With Romulans~~~ ::A hint of concern can be felt from Yates to Jordan::

CIV_Luchena says:
aCTO:  Neither do I.  ::eyes Kyrron curiously::

Jordan_Thraxis says:
~~~XO: I don't know ... ~~~

Host CO_Capt_Vn`dor_Phail says:
::looks away from Kyrron oddly and back to the crew::  Bridge: Does anyone have any questions?

CEO_Cmdr_Damien says:
CO: Um, what stations do we take? This ship appears fully staffed.

XO_Cmdr_Yates says:
~~~Jordan: Promise me that you'll let me know if you... you know. Just keep in touch with me. Please.~~~

Host CO_Capt_Vn`dor_Phail says:
Bridge : I must reiterate... this is on volunteer basis and this is your last chance to disembark.

CIV_Luchena says:
::wonders when he volunteered::

Host CO_Capt_Vn`dor_Phail says:
::looks around:: CEO: As you can see Commander, the Pontifex Bridge Staff has evacuated for our use of the ship.

Jordan_Thraxis says:
~~~ XO: I will, I promise. ~~~

XO_Cmdr_Yates says:
::She cannot help but wonder why Kyrron is acting so... well... odd::

aCTO_LT_Tribble says:
::Scully tries to figure out how to track the Pontifex if she cloaks and takes off::

Host Cootles says:
<Kyrron> ALL: My crew has been told to stay in quarters. I will not formally welcome any of you here as you are still aboard the Pendragon as I understand it.

CEO_Cmdr_Damien says:
CO: Great, I'll just take my station.

XO_Cmdr_Yates says:
~~~Jordan: Thank you.~~~ ::She smiles at her and then waits for any additional orders::

aCTO_LT_Tribble says:
::pulls out scanner and very unobtrusively begins scanning Kyrron::

Host CO_Capt_Vn`dor_Phail says:
Jordan: Ms Thraxis, you will of course man Flight Ops and Operations.  Plot a course for the Romulan Penal Colony at the co-ordinates in the Pontifex's computer...

Host Cootles says:
ACTION: The bridge alters lighting, immediately slipping into Red Alert, without so much as a word from Kyrron.

Host CO_Capt_Vn`dor_Phail says:
::turns to Kyrron::  Kyrron: I am assuming that is alright with you, or would you like to command this mission?

CIV_Luchena says:
::frowns at Kyrron::

XO_Cmdr_Yates says:
::She watches Kyrron and Vn'dor closely::

Host CO_Capt_Vn`dor_Phail says:
::looks at the ceiling::  Self: I never ordered that...

Host CO_Capt_Vn`dor_Phail says:
::suddenly has a bad feeling about this "cloaked" ship::

Jordan_Thraxis says:
CO:  Aye, Sir.  ::moves over to OPS and familiarizes herself with the console.  Once she is ready she retrieves the coordinates and plots the course.:: CO: Course laid in.  Let's do this.

Host CO_Capt_Vn`dor_Phail says:
::moves over to the XO and whispers::  XO: Could this possibly be a Romulan vessel with the interior resembling a Defiant?

Host Cootles says:
<Kyrron> Vn'dor: My dear friend, what is mine is yours.  ::catches the look:: Preprogrammed pending Lt Huff's return to the ship.

CIV_Luchena says:
CO:  What station would you have me cover?

XO_Cmdr_Yates says:
::She glances at the Captain and nods slightly. She returns the whisper:: CO: I'll run a few scans of my own. ::She says aloud:: CO: I'd be happy to man science for the time being Captain.

Host CO_Capt_Vn`dor_Phail says:
::holds a hand up at Luchena for the moment while he talks with Yates::

Host CO_Capt_Vn`dor_Phail says:
XO: Thank you Commander.

Host Cootles says:
<Kyrron> Vn'dor: I'm heading to Sickbay. Comm me if you need me.

Host CO_Capt_Vn`dor_Phail says:
::turns to Luchena::  CIV: I want you to study the Romulan Prison plans and prepare a plan for their retrieval

aCTO_LT_Tribble says:
::whispers to CO:: scans show Kyrron is a normal Zaldan::

XO_Cmdr_Yates says:
::She makes her way over to the science station and takes a seat. Immediately, Ashley begins to run her hands along the controls. She closes her eyes a moment and attempts to send a telepathic method to Nurse Barnes aboard the Pendragon::

Host CO_Capt_Vn`dor_Phail says:
::nods at Kyrron as she passes::

CIV_Luchena says:
CO:  Aye.  ::moves to a station and logs on::

CEO_Cmdr_Damien says:
::gets used to his station quickly::

XO_Cmdr_Yates says:
CO: The Pendragon will be aware of our concerns as well... unofficially, of course. ::She taps on her head slightly::

Host CO_Capt_Vn`dor_Phail says:
::nods at the aCTO feeling only mildly assured all is safe::

Host Cootles says:
ACTION: As Kyrron exists the Bridge, the Pontifex drifts slowly away from the Pendragon and enters the Neutral Zone undetected.

Host Cootles says:
