USS Pharaoh
SD 10209.19

The Romulan Warbird Red Talon has decloaked in front of the USS Pharaoh. Commander TRhieu has beamed aboard and addresses the crew on the bridge.

Commander_TRhieu says:
CO: I am in need of your assistance Commander.
CO_Starks says:
TRhieu: Isn't that funny, and here I was going to be asking you for help
Commander_TRhieu says:
::smiles evilly:: CO: I was thinking of capturing the Pharaoh... ::smiles even more:: Would you mind ?  ::shakes her head momentarily:: CO: You might take my request as an act of war... but it is not... it is an act of desperation. For where else can I find honor to go up against my own government than with my "enemy".  As a show of good faith...  ::she looks up in the air:: COM:Red Talon: You may initiate transport Sub-Commander...

ACTION: Two officers in Starfleet uniforms materialize on the Pharaoh bridge even though her shields are up.

Commander_TRhieu says:
::gives a device to Starks:: CO: This read your shield frequency after I was transported aboard and relayed it to the Red Talon to permit the transport of these two Starfleet officers rescued from a lifepod of the USS Kodiac 0.75 light years from here.  I have brought them here in act an of good will so that you and your officers will listen to my tale. Will you listen ?
XO_Chalen says:
::stands next to the rear tactical console with a phaser aimed at the Romulan and stares at the new arrivals with his jaw dropped::
SO_Raja says:
::Blinks as materializes and looks around::
OPS_Verdi says:
::turns around and looks at the Starfleet officers who materialized somehow::
FCO_Khrex says:
ALL: I have a bad feeling about this.
CO_Starks says:
:: waves hand for officers to lower their weapons ::
FCO_Khrex says:
::draws his phaser::
CIV_LtCmdr_Xia says:
::Listens to the woman's explanation and tenses her muscles, stepping back quickly she swings around and begins to access the Tactical displays::
XO_Chalen says:
::DOSEN'T lower his phaser::
CEO_Lt_Irvin says:
::pops out of the crawlway port in Main Engineering. Wainwright follows and peels off to his station::
CO_Starks says:
Commander_TRhieu: Then the Kodiac was destroyed?
SO_Raja says:
::Sees the Captain, pops to attention::
FCO_Khrex says:
::keeps his eyes on the intruders::
CEO_Lt_Irvin says:
::walks over to the Master Control Console and hits the comm button:: *CO* Irvin to Bridge: What's going on up there?
CIV_LtCmdr_Xia says:
XO: Commander Riggs, I'm not detecting any hostile actions from the Romulan's, no sensor locks, armed weapons...::She looks up and eyes the Romulan before her:: Something's wrong...
Cmdr_Horn says:
::Looks surprised at seeing the Officers appear::
CO_Starks says:
*CEO* hold Lt, and ready for warp drive...just in case
XO_Chalen says:
CIV:   Maintain OUR weapons lock.
CO_Starks says:
SO_Raja: are you allright?
SO_Raja says:
CO: Ens. R-r-r-raja r-r-r-reporting for duty. I think
Commander_TRhieu says:
::shakes head:: CO: I am uncertain Commander... I detected some the impulse engines residue... but I did not explore it further as I was on route to you
FCO_Khrex says:
CO: Captain? Should I plot a course out of here?
CIV_LtCmdr_Xia says:
XO: Sir...that might not be advisable...::She gives him a look like "I have another idea..." and taps some controls, motioning for him to move to her location::
CEO_Lt_Irvin says:
::rolls eyes *CO* Aye. Engine Room out. Self: Dear God... Here we go again.
SO_Raja says:
CO: I am fine. Confused, but alr-r-r-right
XO_Chalen says:
::sides steps to the CIV's side of the TAC console::
OPS_Verdi says:
::wonders where these people came from::
CO_Starks says:
CSO_Brehgorn: tricorder, scan 'em ::points to new arrivals::
CSO_Brehgorn says:
CO: Aye, sir.  ::runs a scan on the Catian and the Klingon::
XO_Chalen says:
::phaser STILL pointed at the Romulan::
CIV_LtCmdr_Xia says:
::She taps some controls and disables the weapons lock, switching the weapon systems over to manual control. Turning to the XO she points to several of the weapons displays, showing them on standby, for immediately firing. Harder to detect by the Romulans - she hopes::

ACTION: The CNS K'Eloda loses consciousness as she is beamed aboard

CSO_Brehgorn says:
CO: These are, indeed, the genuine articles, sir.
XO_Chalen says:
::nods to approve the CIV's action::
CEO_Lt_Irvin says:
::moves over to the warp system control panel and checks the plasma flow::
OPS_Verdi says:
::prepares to transport the CNS to sickbay::  CO:  Transporting the Klingon to sickbay.
FCO_Khrex says:
ALL: WYSIWYG
Cmdr_Horn says:
::Sees the new crewman fall, gets up and runs to her to check her vitals::
CSO_Brehgorn says:
CO: But our Klingon friend seems worse for the wear.  ::points to her unconscious body::
CEO_Lt_Irvin says:
Self:: Everything seems in order.
OPS_Verdi says:
*sickbay*:  Incoming.
XO_Chalen says:
CIV:  remodulate our shields so they can't try that beaming trick again so easily.
SO_Raja says:
::Sees the Klingon fall::
CO_Starks says:
Commander_TRhieu: I'll take that device thank you  ::point to the device used to scan shield modulation ::
CIV_LtCmdr_Xia says:
::She smiles and begins to manually set the weapon systems, he eyes drifting off the Romulan, having little concern for her, and only on her focus on the vessel before them. She brings up the incomplete specs that Starfleet has on Romulan vessels and begins to theorize of possible ways to disable the larger, more powerful warship::
OPS_Verdi says:
::initiates transport of the Klingon woman directly to sickbay::
SO_Raja says:
::Continues to look around in confusion since nobody told him what to do yet::
Commander_TRhieu says:
::hands the device over::
XO_Chalen says:
CO:   What now sir?    ::STILL pointing phaser::
CSO_Brehgorn says:
<MO>*OPS* Thank you, Commander.  ::goes to work on the unconscious Klingon::
CO_Starks says:
:: takes device hands it to XO without dropping his gaze from TRhieu::
XO_Chalen says:
::takes the device::
FCO_Khrex says:
::keeps phaser drawn::
CIV_LtCmdr_Xia says:
::She does as ordered and begins to set the shields on a rotating frequency:: XO: Already in place sir...::She programs the computer to use a fractal algorithm to determine the shield frequency::
CO_Starks says:
Commander_TRhieu: I trust that your vessel is again, alone. How long till we all have company?
CIV_LtCmdr_Xia says:
ALL: Your phasers are useless, she has either disabled them, or placed a scanner in her body. She dies...and they open fire...
XO_Chalen says:
CIV:   But she DOES die first right?    ::says it more to the ROMULAN than to the CIV::
FCO_Khrex says:
CIV: What if we just... knock her out?
CO_Starks says:
XO_Chalen: that’s enough Cmdr. If they wanted us dead they would have killed us long before now
Commander_TRhieu says:
::raises both eyebrows:: CO: We will be alone in this area for a while... my ship has left a few probes that jam Romulan sensors
SO_Raja says:
::continues to stand there watching the exchange of words::
CIV_LtCmdr_Xia says:
::Still with her back to the Romulan to the Executive Officer she works at her station, checking the weapons and ship status:: FCO: Same thing...XO: Commander...she will not die...not if you wish to stay alive...
XO_Chalen says:
::pretends to see the wisdom in Starks' statement::   CO:   Aye sir.   ::lowers phaser::
CEO_Lt_Irvin says:
::looks over to Wainwright:: Rob, I'll be on the bridge... Zimmerman will be back in a few minutes.
CO_Starks says:
CIV_LtCmdr_Xia: I agree
XO_Chalen says:
FCO:   holster it, Mister.   Man your station.
FCO_Khrex says:
XO: Aye sir.
FCO_Khrex says:
::holsters phaser::
Commander_TRhieu says:
CO: Perhaps we could discuss my problem in your briefing room with your senior officers... I have... a "tale" to tell Commander
OPS_Verdi says:
::motions the SO to approach her station::
FCO_Khrex says:
::mans station::
CEO_Lt_Irvin says:
::watches the Young Petty Officer nod, starts climbing the ladder to the engineering balcony, then out into the corridor::
CIV_LtCmdr_Xia says:
::Turning to look the Bajoran officer in the eye she lets out a smile:: XO: Don't worry commander...we'll figure out what's going on here...::She gives a smile to the Romulan - almost devious and mistrusting::
CO_Starks says:
Commander_TRhieu: then I believe you have quite a tale to tell, so let's hear it fast before my entire bridge credoes something...unwise ::looks back to XO ::
FCO_Khrex says:
XO: Should I hold our position here?
XO_Chalen says:
::begins to look over the device, then hands it to the CSO:   CSO:   Take it apart, I want to know how it works within the hour.
Cmdr_Horn says:
::Stands next to the CO and watches for anything out of the ordinary::
CO_Starks says:
*ALL* All senior officers...
XO_Chalen says:
FCO:   For now.
CSO_Brehgorn says:
XO: Aye, sir.  ::takes the device::
CO_Starks says:
*ALL* report to the mess hall for Briefing
CEO_Lt_Irvin says:
::enters the bridge just as the CO makes his announcement::
CO_Starks says:
SO_Raja: If you feeling up to it I'd like you to join us too Ensign
Cmdr_Horn says:
CO: Want me there too?
SO_Raja says:
CO: Yes Sir-r-r-r
CO_Starks says:
Cmdr_Horn: I wouldn't have it any other way Alex
CSO_Brehgorn says:
XO: Shall I attend the briefing, or head to the lab to figure this thing out?
XO_Chalen says:
::comms the second shift onto bridge duty to monitor the stations during the meeting via the TAC console::
CIV_LtCmdr_Xia says:
::She taps her comm badge and then returns her attention to the Tactical display:: *Security*: Security teams Alpha and Ceti, report to the Main Engineering section...begin a routine check of all ship's systems with the assistance of Engineering teams...::She smiles and looks over to the CEO who just entered:: CEO: Unless the chief objects?
OPS_Verdi says:
::figures she'd better hear this, although suspects she doesn't really want to know::
CO_Starks says:
CSO_Brehgorn: briefing now, puzzles later
Cmdr_Horn says:
::Smiles:: CO: Thought that is what you would say, Jimmy
XO_Chalen says:
CSO:   Be at the briefing, then get back on that device.
CSO_Brehgorn says:
CO: understood, sir.
CSO_Brehgorn says:
::nods to the XO::
FCO_Khrex says:
::stands up as a junior helmsperson takes over::
CEO_Lt_Irvin says:
::taps Zimmerman on the shoulder then looks to Xia:: CIV: Sounds like a good precaution to me Commander. ::smiles::
XO_Chalen says:
CO:   I'll be there as soon as the relief crew gets to the bridge, sir.
CO_Starks says:
Commander_TRhieu: this way
CO_Starks says:
:: leaves bridge for turbo lifts
CSO_Brehgorn says:
::follows the herd::
OPS_Verdi says:
::waits for her replacement to arrive::
Cmdr_Horn says:
::Follows the CO::
Commander_TRhieu says:
::follows Starks::
SO_Raja says:
::Unsure of where to go, follow the people leaving::
CIV_LtCmdr_Xia says:
::She hands her display off to a junior tactical officer and moves along side the Chief Engineering Officer. Moving in close she whispers to him:: CEO: They were able to beam aboard - through our shields...I want to know if they brought anything aboard...
OPS_Verdi says:
::stands as she is relieved and follows the others::
CEO_Lt_Irvin says:
::steps back over to Zimmerman and gives him some instructions. He nods, then turns to walk out hearing the CIV once again addressing him::
CSO_Brehgorn says:
SO: Welcome aboard, Mr. Raja.  I'll be your direct supervisor during your stay aboard this asylum.
CEO_Lt_Irvin says:
::nods:: CIV: right. If there is anything here, We'll find it.
SO_Raja says:
CSO: Thank you Sir-r-r
CSO_Brehgorn says:
::smells some minor flagellation::
CO_Starks says:
::walking:: SO: Ensign, how did you come to be in an escape pod. What happened to your ship?
FCO_Khrex says:
::waits for next lift::
SO_Raja says:
::Sniffs the air instinctively:: CO: I am not exactly sur-r-re.
CO_Starks says:
SO_Raja: and your companion the Klingon, was she a crewmate?
CIV_LtCmdr_Xia says:
::She walks out into the corridor, and loops around the deck to the port side where she enters a second lift alone. Standing in the compartment, she begins to check the Defiant schematic, wondering where the Romulan's may have beamed anyone...::
CEO_Lt_Irvin says:
::taps com badge as he is walking out the door and give Wainwright instructions to wake Delta shift and have them conduct a complete internal scan of the ship for anything that appears Romulan in power signature::
SO_Raja says:
CO: Never-r-r seen her-r-r before today, sir-r-r.
CO_Starks says:
:: frowns at the SO's statement ::
CO_Starks says:
SO_Raja: we'll get you a bunk until this is over
CO_Starks says:
:: looks back to TRhieu as the lift door opens to deck two ::
CO_Starks says:
:: walks to Mess hall ::
SO_Raja says:
CO: I am all new to this. I am not even sur-r-re what I am suppose to be doing
Commander_TRhieu says:
::wonders why the Commander wanted to meet in a closet::
CSO_Brehgorn says:
::enters the mess hall, eyeing over the strange Romulan device::
CIV_LtCmdr_Xia says:
::After a while, she exits on deck two and heads into the Mess Hall from the opposite doorway. Walking over to a walk display, she taps in several commands and instructs the computer to record their conversation in this room::
OPS_Verdi says:
::follows along::
Cmdr_Horn says:
::Follows the CO into the mess hall::
CO_Starks says:
SO_Raja: just take a seat, I may have more questions later.
OPS_Verdi says:
::stands near a wall::
FCO_Khrex says:
::walks into mess hall finding almost everyone there::
CEO_Lt_Irvin says:
::arrives at the mess hall and enters behind the CO and Commander Horn::
CO_Starks says:
Commander_TRhieu: Pardon the meeting room but it is a small ship
SO_Raja says:
CO: Yes sir-r-r. ::Takes the nearest seat::
Commander_TRhieu says:
::removes a Romulan style PADD from her shirt:: CO: Of course Commander
Cmdr_Horn says:
CO: Smaller than I remember it to be
CO_Starks says:
:: stands next to TRhieu and waits for the crew to assemble and be seated ::
CSO_Brehgorn says:
::takes his seat::
CIV_LtCmdr_Xia says:
::She begins to think - if the Romulan's wished to take over the Pharaoh, having 3/4 of the senior staff in one room would be a nice way to capture the primary sections of the vessel, stepping out of the room briefly she taps her comm badge quickly and declares:: *XO*: Lt. Commander Xia to Commander Riggs.
CEO_Lt_Irvin says:
::takes a seat and stretches a bit::
FCO_Khrex says:
::sits down::
OPS_Verdi says:
::leans against the wall and crosses her arms over her chest::
Cmdr_Horn says:
::takes seat closest to the head of the table, where the XO would normally sit::
XO_Chalen says:
::satisfied that the relief crew is on the bridge, Riggs heads to the mess hall on deck two::
CEO_Lt_Irvin says:
::sees a number of new faces:: Self: I gotta get out from engineering once in a while....
SO_Raja says:
::waits patiently for the meeting to start::
SO_Raja says:
::Sniffs the air::
XO_Chalen says:
::walks into the mess hall and sees Horn in his chair::
CO_Starks says:
Commander_TRhieu: I take it that you know what caused the explosion and following shockwave that we encountered?
Cmdr_Horn says:
::Looks over and sees the XO enter::
CO_Starks says:
Commander_TRhieu: a shockwave that destroyed a planet not to mention a federation starship
Commander_TRhieu says:
::nods:: CO: That ... and more I am afraid Commander
XO_Chalen says:
Cmdr_Horn:    Comfy?
CIV_LtCmdr_Xia says:
::Sighs at not getting a response from the Executive Officer, she returns into the Mess Hall and looks around at the assembled crew::
OPS_Verdi says:
::sees the CIV finally get here::
XO_Chalen says:
::sees the Civ enter::
Commander_TRhieu says:
::looks around the room:: CO: Commander... I have discovered my government is doing some un-natural research at Levaerie Station... I find their actions distasteful and dishonorable.
Cmdr_Horn says:
XO: Yes, quite. Thank you for asking. Oh, you don’t have a seat. I believe the one over there is empty ::points::
CSO_Brehgorn says:
::looks at the Romulan with interest::
XO_Chalen says:
Cmdr_Horn:   How considerate.    ::drips with sarcasm::
CO_Starks says:
Commander_TRhieu: what kinda of research, and how does it relate to recent events?
XO_Chalen says:
::sits down at the empty chair::
OPS_Verdi says:
::listening intently::
CIV_LtCmdr_Xia says:
::She makes her way along the back of the room, over next to the Executive Officer and looks up at him:: XO: Commander...::She speaks in a low tone:: Do you think it's prudent to leave Beta shift officers on the bridge...alone?
Cmdr_Horn says:
::Gives XO a big smile:: XO: No problem, anytime
CSO_Brehgorn says:
::already doesn't like Cmdr Horn::
Commander_TRhieu says:
CO: They are attempting to connect the missing genetic drift between Vulcan and Romulans..... Telepathy.... and they are using the explosion you saw to capture ::frowns:: Genetic material from Vulcans to do this
XO_Chalen says:
::whispers to the CIV:   CIV:   We trust them with the ship once every day, they can handle it for the next few minutes.   For now, I think we all need to hear what the Romulan Captain has to say.
CSO_Brehgorn says:
Self: My God.
CO_Starks says:
Commander_TRhieu: that explains why the shockwave pulled us into the neutral zone
OPS_Verdi says:
::thinks its a rather overly dramatic way to get Vulcan DNA::
CEO_Lt_Irvin says:
::raises an eyebrow::
Commander_TRhieu says:
CO: I believe your armour saved you from complete annihilation
CO_Starks says:
Commander_TRhieu: you are correct
SO_Raja says:
::whispers:: CSO: Why is that one wear-r-ring a differ-r-rent unifor-r-rm? ::points to Horn::
CIV_LtCmdr_Xia says:
::Whispers back, glancing at the Romulan Commander occasionally:: XO: Agreed, however...with all the senior staff assembled...the Romulans could disable 1/8th of the crew...in one attack...
XO_Chalen says:
TRhieu:   Explosions to gather genetic data?   What do you Romulans use for brain surgery?    Photon torpedoes?
CEO_Lt_Irvin says:
Commander_TRhieu: Barely. What was used to generate the explosion?
OPS_Verdi says:
::smiles slightly::
CSO_Brehgorn says:
::whispers back:: SO: She is a special forces officer of some variety.
CO_Starks says:
Commander_TRhieu: ::looks to Eli:: a good question 
XO_Chalen says:
::raises an eyebrow at the CIV and tries not to think about that right now::
Cmdr_Horn says:
::listens to the Romulan and she looks over the room::
Commander_TRhieu says:
CO: From what I have gathered... the blast you witnessed was an accident... the "normal" weapon completely disables a ship without destroying it
SO_Raja says:
::nods in understanding but doesn’t know what that means::
CIV_LtCmdr_Xia says:
::She looks up at the Executive Officer, and eventually her emerald stare drifts back to the Romulan - something wasn't right...she didn't seem to be telling the whole story. Why would she be helping them? Why now? Why not warn them before the explosion?::
CO_Starks says:
Commander_TRhieu: I didn't think this was standard procedure, what with loosing a planet and all. And it also explains why we didn't see any ship to "collect" on their most recent catch
OPS_Verdi says:
::is wondering if the Kodiac was caught and destroyed as well::
CSO_Brehgorn says:
Thrieu: For what purpose is your government conducting this research?
XO_Chalen says:
TRhieu:    How many of your vessels have this weapons equipped?
Commander_TRhieu says:
CEO: The basis is out normal engines.. with modifications... I am not an engineer .. I do not know CO: As far I know... only one... and it was destroyed hence the damage you saw
CIV_LtCmdr_Xia says:
TRhieu: ...are you saying that the Romulan Star Empire has successfully modified Quantum Singularities to focus on specific chemical sequences?
Cmdr_Horn says:
::smiles smugly to self seeing the XO sitting over there::
OPS_Verdi says:
::watches everyone firing questions at the Romulan and wonders if any of them understand the word "protocol"::
XO_Chalen says:
::glances at Cmdr. Horn and tries not to scowl openly::
SO_Raja says:
::Continues to watch and allows the newness of the whole situation sink in::
CO_Starks says:
Commander_TRhieu: This is all very fascinating but now that it has been destroyed and we have been made aware of it's purpose. I think it would be prudent for us to leave and report to Starfleet. Not every Warbird out there is as friendly as yours to a starship
Commander_TRhieu says:
CIV: It is a combination with the Quantum Singularity and the transporters... of that I am certain
OPS_Verdi says:
::shifts her weight to her other leg and continues to stand there with her arms crossed::
Cmdr_Horn says:
Self: That would explain the transporter trick
CEO_Lt_Irvin says:
::develops shocked look on face:: Self: Quantum Singularity/Transporter Cross? My God!
XO_Chalen says:
TRhieu:    Right, you guys had a bad weapon, it went boom and took alot of your boys out with it, hooray for us.   But it also took out alot of our guys.    So why are we sitting here talking to you instead of reporting this in?
Commander_TRhieu says:
::turns to Starks:: CO: Lavaerie station has enough genetic material to give Romulans telepathy... VERY strong telepathy.... It is my understanding that there are changes already being done as we speak
CIV_LtCmdr_Xia says:
::Her gaze drifts over towards the Chief Engineering Officer. She has an idea of what now caused the explosion...and is now more determined to find these vessels than she was before::
OPS_Verdi says:
::listens to the Romulans words and thinks that this can't be a good thing::
CO_Starks says:
Commander_TRhieu: and.....?
SO_Raja says:
::tail flicking forth and back as if it has a mind of its own::
XO_Chalen says:
TRhieu:   Okay, so Romulans with Telepathy, obvious bad news for us.   But why are YOU so hot to put a stop to it?   Even to the point of going against your own Government?
Commander_TRhieu says:
::bangs her hand on the table:: CO: Do you not realize what this will do to Romulus ?   Who will be the first to read his enemy's thoughts ? Who will be the first to have power without honor ?  It will destroy my world for ever !
CIV_LtCmdr_Xia says:
::She wonders how the Romulan's developed enough genetic knowledge to extract the specific genomes required to create telepathic traits in an humanoid - quite advanced::
CIV_LtCmdr_Xia says:
TRhieu: You will...
Commander_TRhieu says:
CO: I need your help to destroy Levaerie station and get rid of the abomination !
XO_Chalen says:
TRhieu:    Are you worried that it's happening?    Or worried that YOU weren't first in line for the treatment?
OPS_Verdi says:
::is a bit startled by the hand banging on the table::
CO_Starks says:
:: stares at TRhieu for a moment ::
OPS_Verdi says:
Thinks to self:  Destroy a Romulan station?  That will go over well with Starfleet Command.
CSO_Brehgorn says:
::Romulans having power without honor...that's a first::
CSO_Brehgorn says:
<Ramirez> ::monitoring sensors::
Cmdr_Horn says:
::whispers:: CO: She is not telling everything, I am sure of it
CEO_Lt_Irvin says:
::looks to the CO:: Commander, with all due respect, after hearing this, I think that we might be a tad big out of our league here. I think that the most prudent course of action, as hard as it may be to believe coming from ME, is that we return to Federation space and contact Starfleet for further instructions.
CO_Starks says:
Commander_TRhieu: There's no way I can help you. I understand that you are worried about your society but I cannot take part in these events, I have a ship and crew to get home.
CO_Starks says:
Commander_TRhieu: again my CEO has a good point, care to produce a counter-point
XO_Chalen says:
CEO:    Eli, if I didn't know better, I'd say you were getting old.   ::grins at the CEO::
CIV_LtCmdr_Xia says:
::She leans in over to the XO and whispers:: XO: We blow up that station, we go to war...and that will result in the destruction of her homeworld...the Romulan is right...we must stop this now...
CEO_Lt_Irvin says:
::smiles and whispers:: XO: No... I just like breathing and walking and eating and all the other stuff associated with being alive
Commander_TRhieu says:
::stands up and looks around in fury:: All: Do you not realize what will happen after everyone in the Romulan Empire receives this CURSE ! ::bangs her hand on the table again:: The Federation will be next
CMO_Releben says:
::examines yet another scan, then steps from his office::
XO_Chalen says:
::acknowledges the CIV, but listens to the Romulan some more::
Cmdr_Horn says:
CO: If you don't mind
CSO_Brehgorn says:
Thrieu:  Surely you have allies in Romulus who could help you more than us.
OPS_Verdi says:
::fails to see how a bunch of telepathic Romulans will destroy the Federation::
CO_Starks says:
Commander_TRhieu: and you expect one federation starship to help you undo your government’s evils?  I'm sorry but It's just not our job
CEO_Lt_Irvin says:
::hears the CIV and responds whispering:: CIV: This is a powerful little ship here Commander, but could we get a couple Galaxy-class vessels to help us first?
Cmdr_Horn says:
Commander_Trhieu: Why don't you destroy the station?
CO_Starks says:
::looks to Horn and nods ::
Commander_TRhieu says:
::folds her arms and closes her mouth and tries to control her anger::
Commander_TRhieu says:
<Ensign Ramirez>: *CO* Bridge to Captain... we've found the Kodiac's impulse trail !
XO_Chalen says:
TRhieu:   You ARE bigger than us.
XO_Chalen says:
::looks at the CO::
CEO_Lt_Irvin says:
::straightens up as the Ensign's voice comes over the comm::
CSO_Brehgorn says:
::raises eyebrow::  CO: Captain, may I report to the bridge to investigate?
CIV_LtCmdr_Xia says:
CEO: We could modify the Pharaoh, make her as powerful as any Galaxy...::She looks back to the Commander:: CO: Commander, as your Tactical Advisor, I must suggest that you follow the course of action suggested by the Romulan Commander...
CO_Starks says:
:: steps aside and taps badge :: *Bridge* How old, and what bearing?
CO_Starks says:
CSO_Brehgorn: go
CSO_Brehgorn says:
::gladly leaves the mess hall and heads to TL 1::
SO_Raja says:
::perks ears when he hears the ships name::
OPS_Verdi says:
::follows the CSO as she's had enough of this::
XO_Chalen says:
FCO:   Get to the helm Now!
CSO_Brehgorn says:
::pauses::  SO: You're with me.
Commander_TRhieu says:
Horn: Alone we do not have a chance to arrive at destination... but with the Pharaoh as a "captured" Federation ship.... we might
XO_Chalen says:
CIV:   Take tactical.
OPS_Verdi says:
::proceeds ahead to the TL::
CMO_Releben says:
::finding traces of transporter sickness, injects a hypo to clear up any lasting effects::
SO_Raja says:
CSO: Yes Sir-r-r ::Gets up and follows the CSO::
OPS_Verdi says:
::gets in and holds it open::
CSO_Brehgorn says:
::enters the TL with the OPS and SO::
XO_Chalen says:
::raises eyebrow at TRhieu's plan::     SELF:   Not bad.................
CO_Starks says:
Commander_TRhieu: we’re not your Trojan horse, and I have a missing starship to track down
CIV_LtCmdr_Xia says:
::She nods:: XO: Understood...my opinion still stands...::She runs out of the room and in the direction of the bridge::
OPS_Verdi says:
TL:  Bridge.
CSO_Brehgorn says:
OPS/SO:  What a nightmare of a briefing.
Commander_TRhieu says:
<Ensign Ramirez>: *CO* Sir.... I'm showing 2 other trails.... Romulan..... they all went to bearing 250 mark 12... deep in Romulan space
OPS_Verdi says:
::nods even though the CSO wasn't speaking to her::
CEO_Lt_Irvin says:
::moves over closer to the small group remaining in the briefing room::
OPS_Verdi says:
::exits the TL on the bridge and takes her station::
Cmdr_Horn says:
ALL: I don't like this. I think we need to confer with Starfleet on this
FCO_Khrex says:
::exits room::
Commander_TRhieu says:
::stares at Starks:: CO: Commander.... that course.... it is directly towards Levearie station... ::hands him the Romulan PADD::
XO_Chalen says:
Cmdr_Horn:   You want to confer with HQ?   That's not like your type?    What's wrong?   Getting nervous?
SO_Raja says:
CSO: Ar-r-re all br-r-riefing like this?
FCO_Khrex says:
::enters bridge and takes the helm::
CSO_Brehgorn says:
::exits TR and enters the bridge:  SO:  Get a lock on that impulse trail.
CO_Starks says:
Cmdr_Horn: you know better then any of us that we can't get a signal to them from here without sitting around waiting for a response, we're on own unless we head to a starbase.
OPS_Verdi says:
::from the OPS station confirms the Ensign's report::
CSO_Brehgorn says:
SO: Only the overcrowded ones.
CO_Starks says:
:: takes padd::
CIV_LtCmdr_Xia says:
::Moments later she enters the bridge and reclaims the Tactical post. She runs several scans and tactical diagnostics:: CSO: All systems report normal...
CSO_Brehgorn says:
::takes the command chair::
Cmdr_Horn says:
CO: Are you willing to take a chance on starting a war?
CSO_Brehgorn says:
CIV: Thank you, Commander.
XO_Chalen says:
::hears the report from the bridge::      CO:  You don't think there's a chance they took the Kodiac back to that station for experiments too?
CO_Starks says:
:: curse quietly to self ::
CEO_Lt_Irvin says:
CO_Starks: James... If we are going to do this, can I at LEAST suggest a subspace message drum?
Cmdr_Horn says:
XO: I like to fight battles that I know I can win.
CO_Starks says:
:: looks to TRhieu then moves to comm panel ::
CO_Starks says:
CEO_Lt_Irvin: get that drum ready encode heavily
XO_Chalen says:
Cmdr_Horn:   You're on the Pharaoh now.     Get used to  winning.
CMO_Releben says:
::retrieves the medical file from the SF database and cross-references for any previous occurrences before scheduling a medication cycle::
CO_Starks says:
*ALL* Attention all hands
CMO_Releben says:
::hears the COMM and turns an ear that way::
CEO_Lt_Irvin says:
::gets up and heads for the door:: All: Thank God someone around here is still partially sane.
CIV_LtCmdr_Xia says:
::She begins running detailed metaphysic scans of the ion trails:: CSO: Compiling information...
Cmdr_Horn says:
::Glares at the XO:: XO: Just remember I was posted to this ship before you and I outrank you
XO_Chalen says:
::mumbles::   Don't remind me...............
CO_Starks says:
*ALL* this is the CO, we have heading and bearing on the Kodiack. Our priority is to retrieve her crew, we will be going deep into Romulan space
Cmdr_Horn says:
XO: I am fully aware on what this ship and its crew can do
CO_Starks says:
*ALL* all stations maintain red alert
CIV_LtCmdr_Xia says:
CSO: We're detecting two additional trails, both Romulan in signature...::She begins to plot their destination::
OPS_Verdi says:
::begins searching the area for Romulan communications::
SO_Raja says:
::takes the science post::
Commander_TRhieu says:
::blinks and turns to Starks:: CO: You agree ?
CO_Starks says:
Commander_TRhieu: looks like we're going your way, and the safest for us to do it would be as you......prisoner.
CSO_Brehgorn says:
CIV:  When you lock down the trails, please send the coordinates for all three to the FCO's station...just in case we decide to pursue some insane adventure.
XO_Chalen says:
CO:  Sir, if we are going into enemy territory, then posing as a POW vessel would be the only way to do it in and get out in one piece.
CMO_Releben says:
Self: Romulan space?  I surely hope our sensor logs won't be working correctly......
CEO_Lt_Irvin says:
::enters the bridge and walks over to OPS:: OPS: Care to assist me with something Commander?
CO_Starks says:
Commander_TRhieu: but make no mistake My priority is the Kodiack's crew
OPS_Verdi says:
CEO:  Certainly.  ::looks up at him::
CEO_Lt_Irvin says:
::looks over to CSO:: CSO: Can I borrow her for a minute Mr. Brehgorn?
CIV_LtCmdr_Xia says:
::She sits down at the Tactical display and works on full detailed scans on the ion trails. Her eyes skim over the scans quickly as their headings are plotted::
CSO_Brehgorn says:
SO: Keep a close eye on sensors...I don't want any hostile Warbirds taking us by surprise.
CO_Starks says:
Commander_TRhieu: I'm not looking to be a hero to the Romulan people and neither is my crew
CSO_Brehgorn says:
CEO:  Sure, Eli.
SO_Raja says:
CSO: Yes Sir-r-r. Scanning now
Commander_TRhieu says:
::glares:: CO: Commander.... of that I have no doubt... honor demands that the Kodiac is your priority
OPS_Verdi says:
::looks at the CSO then back to the CEO::
XO_Chalen says:
::tries not to chuckle, hearing the Romulan talk of honor::
CEO_Lt_Irvin says:
CSO_Brehgorn: Thanks. OPS: Come on. We're going to do a little magic. We're going to dissect a photon torpedo..... I want something to get to Starfleet REALLY fast.
CEO_Lt_Irvin says:
::heads for the door::
OPS_Verdi says:
::looks intrigued as she gets up and follows the CEO::
CO_Starks says:
XO_Chalen: we'll need to look like we put up a fight, coordinate with engineering
XO_Chalen says:
*CEO*:   Chalen to Engineering, were going to need to simulate some hull damage.    Prepare a team.   Make it look like we went out fighting.   Double time.
XO_Chalen says:
CO:   Way ahead of you.
CIV_LtCmdr_Xia says:
CSO: I believe we may have located the vessel's destinations...::She transmits the signal to the conn station. She begins to run long range scans of Romulan space and the alien station, hoping to devise possible tactical strategies::
Cmdr_Horn says:
::grabs CO arms and brings him in closer so nobody can hear:: CO: If you are going to do this, then I will help. Just letting you know that I don’t like this one bit.
CO_Starks says:
Cmdr_Horn:  ::grins grimly:: oh and you think I do?
CSO_Brehgorn says:
::nods at the Civ:: FCO:  I hope you're chops are up, because if we have to head deeper into Romulan space, things could get hairy fast.
CEO_Lt_Irvin says:
::exits heading for the torpedo room:: *XO* Aye Sir. That shouldn't be too much of a problem with the shape we're already in.
SO_Raja says:
::flicks tail as he monitors his station::
CO_Starks says:
Commander_TRhieu: Anything we happen to blow up while getting out ship back....is just a bonus
FCO_Khrex says:
CSO: Don't worry about it. I brought my razor.
XO_Chalen says:
*CEO*:   Acknowledged, Chalen out.
OPS_Verdi says:
::walks beside the CEO::  CEO:  Is this sort of thing normal for this ship?
FCO_Khrex says:
CSO: Although I have no use for one... anyway.
Commander_TRhieu says:
::smiles:: CO: My thanks Commander
CMO_Releben says:
::finishes scheduling the final medication and moves to his office to file his report::
CSO_Brehgorn says:
::smiles at the FCO::
CO_Starks says:
Commander_TRhieu: don't thank me yet, let's just get this done. 
Commander_TRhieu says:
::nods::
CIV_LtCmdr_Xia says:
::She brings up multiple diagrams and begins to phase off, thinking of tactical plans and diagrams - her mind filling with ideas, plans and plots...ways to fight the Romulans and win::
CEO_Lt_Irvin says:
::comes up on the turbolift:: OPS: Yes unfortunately. We don't get back to the outpost often so sometimes we end up improvising
SO_Raja says:
::Studies the panel:: Self: Just like back at the academy
CEO_Lt_Irvin says:
::enters the TL, holding the door for the OPS officer::
CSO_Brehgorn says:
CIV:  When the CO and XO get back, I plan to try and find a solid defense against this new Romulan weapon...care to join me?
XO_Chalen says:
::heads back to the bridge, hoping they all haven't bitten off more than they can chew::
OPS_Verdi says:
::chuckles and follows the CEO::  CEO:  What's your plan all about?
CO_Starks says:
Commander_TRhieu: get back to your ship and coordinate, you just caught yourself the finest trophy of any Romulan Captain
CIV_LtCmdr_Xia says:
CSO: With pleasure...::She smiles::
Commander_TRhieu says:
::smiles:: CO: You shall make a superb "prize" Commander
