The USS Pharaoh - SD 10603.23

"Diplomacy is always the best option???"

The Pharaoh is preparing to chase after the Dozarian vessel after his "twin" kept the ships in the blockade VERY occupied. 
The Ouit vessels are in disarray after the destruction of one of their vessels.

::Finishes reading the readings on her Tricorder.  Looks a little perplexed.  Sighs a bit.::  CO:  Ok, nothing coming up on your Tricorder, but that doesn't explain the headaches.  You should never get them.
Host CO_Sacul says:
XO:  I know.  I don't know why either.
Host Gilles says:
<FCO_Steer> ::engages the engines:: OPS: We are now in pursuit on the Dozarian vessel Sir.
XO_Santiago says:
CO:  It could be the stress, but I suspect you've been through worse then this so probably not.  You may have to go for more tests when Dr Balena comes back.
OPS_Sanford says:
FCO:  What's our time to intercept?
Host CO_Sacul says:
:: nods :: XO:  When this is over, I'll go down for a full physical.
Civ_S`sath says:
::readies the weapon system::
Host Gilles says:
<FCO_Steer> ::frowns:: OPS: At current rate... 12 minutes.... Sir... this ship is... almost too fast... ::checks calculations::
XO_Santiago says:
::Looks at her.::  CO:  Or sooner.  ::leans back on the desk.::  You’re slow in making decisions right now.  It plain as day the pain on your face.  I can't keep giving you injections.  In the end it would be counter productive.
Civ_S`sath says:
OPS: Weapons normal so far sir.
Civ_S`sath says:
Ops: Small vessel..... phasers at 1/4 would blow it to bits  if it receives a direct hit sir.
Host Gilles says:
<FCO_Steer> OPS: They are overtaxing their engines.... it is a wonder it does not blow up right now.
OPS_Sanford says:
FCO:  Too fast?  What is their speed?
Host Gilles says:
<FCO_Steer> OPS: Warp.... 5.3....  and holding....   ::looks up in shock:: It's a wonder they don't blow up.
FCO_Hawkes says:
@CTO:  I wonder what's happening on the Pharaoh?  Damn I wish I was there now.
Host CO_Sacul says:
XO:  Well, when it gets to the point I can't handle it, I'll let you know.
CMO_Balena says:
::closes a box and slides it down the table and opens another::
Civ_S`sath says:
FCO: Warp 5.3 they don't seem that technologically advanced.
XO_Santiago says:
CO:  Hmmmmm I suspect you are like other Captains I've know.  I've had to drag them kicking and screaming from the bridge.
OPS_Sanford says:
::Turns around slightly to the right and nods to S'sath.::  FCO:  And you’re saying they're going too fast?!  I'm sure we could catch up to them much sooner.  Increase our speed.
Host CO_Sacul says:
XO:  You forget, I'm also a Doctor.
Host Gilles says:
<President_Plkon> @CTO: Take your people and leave this room... I must talk to those vessels in the blockade.
XO_Santiago says:
CO:  Let's compromise.  I'll give you one more shot now.  If it is required the next shot will send you to sickbay.  So you will have one shot left.  How is that.
XO_Santiago says:
CO:  A Doctor with the weight of a ship on her hands.
Civ_S`sath says:
OPS: Kinda funny I always thought of defiants as a bit slow in warp speed.
Host CO_Sacul says:
XO:  Let's see if we've caught up with our friends in distress.
CTO_Quchant says:
@Pres: Good.  I will go and check on those election results
XO_Santiago says:
CO:  The ship will come first not your health and don't change the subject on me.  I'm a doctor also.  ::Grins::
FCO_Hawkes says:
@::looks at the President, trying to gauge his mood::
OPS_Sanford says:
CIV:  This ship is capable of Warp 9.98.
CTO_Quchant says:
@::leaves the room to go and find the FCO and Doctor::
Civ_S`sath says:
OPS: 3 Ouit vessels in pursuit of the pharaoh at warp 3
Civ_S`sath says:
OPS: Sir.
OPS_Sanford says:
FCO:  Increase speed to Warp 8.  Let's see what Lieutenant Rydyll has done to these engines.
OPS_Sanford says:
CIV:  Keep watching those ships though I suspect we might lose them.
Host CO_Sacul says:
:: grins at the XO :: XO:  That's exactly right, this ship comes first.  And, I know you’re a Doctor.  :: sticks put her tongue at the XO ::
Civ_S`sath says:
OPS: Yes sir.
OPS_Sanford says:
CIV:  At least enough to buy us some time.
CTO_Quchant says:
@::Walks down the hall into the library complex where Hawkes and Balena are
XO_Santiago says:
::Laughs::  CO:  How mature Ma'am.  Ok let's see what your ship is up too.  Just remember you got one shot left before you're banished to sickbay.  ::pushes from the desk and heads for the door entering the bridge.::
Civ_S`sath says:
OPS: Weapons are active sir.
XO_Santiago says:
OPS:  Cmdr.  Report.
CTO_Quchant says:
@FCO/CMO: Gentlemen....it's not going well up there...one ship has tried to get past the blockade and failed...the Pharaoh is after the other one
FCO_Hawkes says:
@::sits down on a stool, looking very bored::
Host CO_Sacul says:
:: nods and walks out behind the XO ::
Host Gilles says:
<FCO_Steer> OPS: Warp.... 8.... confirmed Sir.  ::monitors the Dozarian vessel:: ETA now.... 4 minutes.
Host CO_Sacul says:
:: goes to her chair and sits ::
OPS_Sanford says:
CO, XO:  We are being pursued by three Ouit Ships.  I've ordered the helm to increase speed to Warp Eight so that we can reach the Dozarian ship with plenty of time to spare.
CMO_Balena says:
@::turns to the CTO:: CTO: What can we do sir?
FCO_Hawkes says:
@CTO:  And we're just sitting here, on the ground.  Great.
XO_Santiago says:
OPS:  Good good... ::takes her seat.:: Be ready to beam the Dozarian's off once we get there.  ::looks at the Capt.::
Host Gilles says:
<FCO_Steer> OPS: I confirm the Ouit ships....   they are at warp 3.... now... they are accelerating... warp 4....   4.5.... and holding.
CTO_Quchant says:
@CMO: Not a lot from here.  The President finally grew a pair and is talking to the remaining ship and the blockade to try and sort something out.  I have my suspicions about the election though
Host CO_Sacul says:
XO:  Let's warn the Ouit away.  They are out of their jurisdiction.
Civ_S`sath says:
OPS: These ships are not that impressive.
CMO_Balena says:
@CTO: Well sir you are welcome to join us in counting ::points the remaining boxes::
XO_Santiago says:
CO:  Good idea...  You want to or should I... ::looks back::  Or maybe we can test out of new Security Intel person on shift today?  What do you think?
OPS_Sanford says:
XO:  Yes Commander.  ::Returns to his station and gets some sensor scans on the Dozarian Ship to determine the amount of people on that ship.::
Host CO_Sacul says:
:: nods :: XO:  Let's see what Mister S’sath can do.
XO_Santiago says:
CO:  Consider it done Ma'am.  ::Stands up and turns::  CIV:  Mr S’sath, warn off the Ouit ships.  They are out of their jurisdiction.  Let's see how their listening skills are.
OPS_Sanford says:
XO:  I'm reading five bio signatures on the Dozarian Ship.  I suggest that we have a medical team waiting for their arrival.
CTO_Quchant says:
@FCO/CMO: I think this election was rigged...just to get this party in power...with the president officially requesting federation membership and then asking for us to remove the blockade in the same breath is very dodgy
Civ_S`sath says:
COMM: Ouit vessels: You are out of your jurisdiction please leave
XO_Santiago says:
OPS:  Ok Cmdr.. You have control of the "rescue mission"  Use what resources you need.
FCO_Hawkes says:
@CTO:  Not much we can do without proof that the election was rigged.
Civ_S`sath says:
CO: No response from the Ouit.
CMO_Balena says:
@CTO: Well sir joining the federation takes years
OPS_Sanford says:
::Nods.:: XO:  Yes ma'am.  ::Waits for the ship to get into range.::  Should I hail the Dozarian ship?
Civ_S`sath says:
<edit add captain>
CTO_Quchant says:
@FCO: I doubt that they would have given us the evidence needed to prove that.
Host CO_Sacul says:
CIV: Keep trying.
Host Gilles says:
<FCO_Steer> OPS: ETA 1 minute to intercept.
Civ_S`sath says:
::replays the message::
XO_Santiago says:
OPS:  Up to you.  The decision is yours.  ::Looks at the Capt.::  Your job is to get to the Dorzians by any means possible.
XO_Santiago says:
::Sits back down.::  CO:  How are you doing Capt?
Civ_S`sath says:
CO: Nothing, Captain.
Civ_S`sath says:
CO: From the Ouit.
Host CO_Sacul says:
XO:  Fine Number One.
FCO_Hawkes says:
@CTO:  Goes without saying.  Still, what could we do if there was proof of corruption. 
Host CO_Sacul says:
CIV:  Keep trying.
XO_Santiago says:
::Sighs and takes her at her word.::
Host CO_Sacul says:
FCO:  ETA to the Dozarian vessel.
Civ_S`sath says:
::sends message on auto replay: CO: So far Captain Ouit could learn some lessons from betazoids on communication.
CTO_Quchant says:
@FCO: We could go out...and talk to the populace...get some readings of the people as well..their general health etc...call it a pre-med screening for federation membership or something like that
OPS_Sanford says:
XO:  We should probably warn them that we're going to be taking them aboard.  ::Opens a channel to the Dozarian ship.::
Host Gilles says:
@ <Rochester> ::approaches Quchant::   CTO: Is their anything you and your team need?
Host CO_Sacul says:
CIV:  Really Mister S’sath?  There are many forms of communication and not all betazoids have a talent for all of them.
CMO_Balena says:
@CTO: Sir do you think they were brainwashed or drugged?
XO_Santiago says:
::Leans back in her chair and closes her eyes.::  CO:  I wonder how Cmdr Quchant and his team are doing.
Host Gilles says:
<FCO_Steer> OPS: ETA 30 secs Ma'am... we are right..................  KHEST !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
CTO_Quchant says:
@Rochester: No..thank you.  We will  probably be going outside to take a small unguided tour of your city soon.  I hope that is ok with you
XO_Santiago says:
::Eyes snap open::  FCO:  Steer what is it?
Host Gilles says:
ACTION: The Dozarian vessel comes to relative stop.
Host CO_Sacul says:
:: snaps her head at FCO ::
FCO_Hawkes says:
@CTO/CMO:  Hey, that could explain the erratic behaviour.
Host Gilles says:
ACTION: The Dozarian vessel warps in another direction.
Host CO_Sacul says:
XO:  We'll find out as soon as we have this situation under control.
CTO_Quchant says:
@CMO: I don't know.  Let's go find out!
CTO_Quchant says:
@::walks towards the exit::
OPS_Sanford says:
CO:  Captain, I've opened a channel to the Dozarian Ship for you.
CTO_Quchant says:
@*Pharaoh*: Pharaoh, this is Quchant...come in please
XO_Santiago says:
CO:  Ok this turkey is annoying me.  A pacifist and I want to blow him out of the sky for stupidity.
FCO_Hawkes says:
@::hops off the stool, and follows::
Host Gilles says:
<FCO_Steer> ::brings the Pharaoh to a stop:: CO: Ma'am... that pilot is nuts.... he just stopped.... WAY too fast.... 
CMO_Balena says:
@::puts down the ballets in his hand and grabs his med kit:: CTO: DO you think the President will stop us when he find out?
FCO_Hawkes says:
@CTO/CMO:  We should swing by the shuttle too, make sure it’s OK.
Host CO_Sacul says:
COM: Dozarian Ship: This is the USS Pharaoh, you seem to be in distress, how may we be of service?
CTO_Quchant says:
@FCO: Good idea...::heads towards the exit::
Host Gilles says:
<FCO_Steer> CO: That ship’s pilot... is desperate... he does a few more of those manoeuvres... he will kill himself... and whoever is in the neighbourhood.
Host CO_Sacul says:
FCO:  Follow him.
CTO_Quchant says:
@::Frowns at his badge::
Civ_S`sath says:
::keeps an eye on the vessel::
CMO_Balena says:
@FCO: Probably should locked out the controls with out command access
OPS_Sanford says:
CO, XO:  We're receiving a transmission from Commander Quchant.
Host Gilles says:
<FCO_Steer> CO: Aye... following Ma'am
Host Gilles says:
<FCO_Steer> ::brings the ship into pursuit::
FCO_Hawkes says:
@CMO:  Oh I did that.  But I just have this feeling...  I don't think I trust these Dozarians much.
CMO_Balena says:
@CTO/CMO: You’re not the only one with an odd feeling
Host Gilles says:
@ <Rochester> All: Please... enjoy our city.
Host CO_Sacul says:
OPS:  On speakers.
OPS_Sanford says:
::Puts Commander Quchant on the audio speakers.::
Host Gilles says:
ACTION: The COM signal.... is gone almost as quickly as it is picked up due to the distance of the Pharaoh
Host CO_Sacul says:
:: hears static ::
CTO_Quchant says:
@*Pharaoh*: We are going for a walk around the city to see what we can see.  Have you managed to contain the thorazine leak on the second ship from the surface yet?
OPS_Sanford says:
::Checks the readings on his console.::  CO, XO:  We're out of range.
CTO_Quchant says:
@::winces at the burst of static feeding back into the badge::
FCO_Hawkes says:
@::looks at the CTO::  CTO: Why aren't they answering?
CTO_Quchant says:
@CMO: Do you get any strange readings from the populace?
CTO_Quchant says:
@FCO: I'm guessing that they are out of range trying to contain that theorizing leak on the second vessel
OPS_Sanford says:
::Notices that the Dozarians never gave them any response.::  COM: Dozarian Ship:  This is the USS Pharaoh, we wish to aid you if you require it.  Please respond.
CMO_Balena says:
@CTO/FCO: Maybe the blockade is jamming signals.
XO_Santiago says:
CO:  You know Ma'am.  I'm wondering, is this a trick to get us away from the planet?
Host CO_Sacul says:
OPS:  Keep trying to get the Dozarian vessel.
FCO_Hawkes says:
@CTO:  Great, now we're cut off from our ship.  The situation isn't improving.  ::looks around::  We should get back into space, and go after the Pharaoh.
OPS_Sanford says:
CO:  Already on it Captain.
CMO_Balena says:
@::starts to scan people walking by and the environment again:: CTO: Hang on sir
Host Gilles says:
$ <Dozarian> COM:Pharaoh: You are Starfleet?
CTO_Quchant says:
@CMO: Possible....not a great deal we can do down here though..let's head to the shuttle and use the communication system in there
Host CO_Sacul says:
XO:  I don't know, maybe it is, but why would the other one have made that suicide run if it weren't trying to get this one free?
OPS_Sanford says:
::Puts the Dozarians back on speakers.::  CO:  Captain..
XO_Santiago says:
CO:  No idea...maybe there wasn't any people on it?
Host CO_Sacul says:
COM: Dozarian:  Yes, we are Starfleet.
CTO_Quchant says:
@::tries the pharaoh again::
CTO_Quchant says:
@*Pharaoh*: This is Commander Quchant...come in please
Host CO_Sacul says:
COM: Dozarian:  We think you may have a thorazine leak.  We have come to offer you assistance.
OPS_Sanford says:
XO:  Commander, we've regained the transmission link with Commander Quchant.  ::Transfers it over to her.::
Host Gilles says:
$ <Dozarian> COM:Pharaoh: Thorazine?   What ?   
Host CO_Sacul says:
:: tries to get her meaning across to them :: COM: Dozarian:  We have come to help you.
CMO_Balena says:
@CTO: Sir still not pickup anything strange but a more detail examination maybe prove otherwise
CTO_Quchant says:
@FCO: You do remember where we parked right
XO_Santiago says:
OPS:  Thank you I'll take it.  Make sure the Capt does not loose the Dorzian ship.
XO_Santiago says:
*CTO*:  Cmdr this is Santiago... 
OPS_Sanford says:
::Nods at the Commander and keeps the channel clear for the Captain.::
FCO_Hawkes says:
@CTO:  Yeah, ::points::  Over there, behind that office building.  The small space port.
CTO_Quchant says:
@*XO*: Finally a pleasant sound....how is it going up there Commander?
Host Gilles says:
$ <Dozarian> COM:Pharaoh:  We are fleeing the Ouit.... trying to get word to the Ambassador.
FCO_Hawkes says:
@::continues to move in that direction::
XO_Santiago says:
*CTO*:  We finally caught up with our Dorzian friends.  Something is just wrong here.  how about the surface?
CTO_Quchant says:
@*XO*: Well...the after the President requested Federation Membership and the removal of the blockade in the same breath I knew something was up but we haven't found any evidence of such yet
Host CO_Sacul says:
COM: Dozarian:  We can get word to you Ambassador.  Please let us help you.
CTO_Quchant says:
@::rounds a corner to the space port::
FCO_Hawkes says:
@::upon reaching the shuttle, accesses the shuttle security via an external panel and deactivates the lockout::
XO_Santiago says:
*CTO*:  I believe you are right.. I'm getting parts of the conversation here.  This Dorzian ship wants to get word to their Ambassador.  I'd be interested to hear what the President has to say to that.
CMO_Balena says:
@::walks up behind the rest of the group and looks back at the city::
Host Gilles says:
$ ACTION: The sound of quiet muffles voices can be heard of the communication channel.<
Host Gilles says:
$ <Dozarian> COM:Pharaoh:  How can we trust you.... Starfleet has been  ignoring us and our Ouit oppressors.
CTO_Quchant says:
@*XO*: When we left the President he was going to talk to the blockade.  Were you able to tap into that transmission at all?
XO_Santiago says:
*CTO*:  No I'm afraid not.  I think we left before we had a chance to listen in.
Host CO_Sacul says:
COM: Dozarian:  We had no choice while you were on that planet, now, you are in open space, now, we can help.
XO_Santiago says:
*CTO*: I suspect though that the President is not having much luck though.
CTO_Quchant says:
@*XO*: Great.  We're back at the shuttle now...we might make a few passes over the city to see if our sensors can pick anything out of the ordinary up
FCO_Hawkes says:
@::enters the shuttle, and keys in the main power start-up sequence::
XO_Santiago says:
*CTO*:  Ok, stay out of range of the blockade.. if they are truly what the Dorzian's say they are...The Ouit will take pot shots at you or even try to kill  you.
Host Gilles says:
<FCO_Steer> CO: Sir... they are slowing down.... warp 4.....3....2.....  sublight.
Host CO_Sacul says:
FCO:  Slow down to match them.
Host Gilles says:
<FCO_Steer> CO: Matching their speed.
OPS_Sanford says:
::Keeps a lock on the Dozarian Ship.::
CTO_Quchant says:
@CMO: See if you can calibrate the sensors to do medical scans of the populace.
FCO_Hawkes says:
@::smirks at over hearing the XO's comment::
CTO_Quchant says:
@FCO: Keep our flight path over the city as low as possible...weave in and out of the buildings if you have to
FCO_Hawkes says:
@CTO:  No problem
FCO_Hawkes says:
@::Fires the shuttle thrusters and lifts off::
CMO_Balena says:
@CTO: It won't be a detailed scan sir but I'll see what I can do
CMO_Balena says:
::gets behind the science console and starts to get to work::
FCO_Hawkes says:
@::sets speed and altitude, flight controls on full manual::  CTO/CMO:  All-right, we are on the deck, low and slow.
Host Gilles says:
ACTION: Both vessels come to a relative stop in open space.
Host CO_Sacul says:
COM: Dozarian:  We suggest that you come to our vessel, we have detected a thorazine leak on your vessel, we will help you to repair it.
Host Gilles says:
$ <Dozarian> COM:Pharaoh:  We do not understand... thorazin?   The universal translator has no equivalent.
CTO_Quchant says:
@::watches the buildings rush by and hopes the CMO can pick something up::
Host Gilles says:
<FCO_Steer> CO: Ma'am..... Ouit vessels....  are still on route.... 5 mins until they arrive.
Host CO_Sacul says:
COM: Dozarian:  It is a type of gas that can cause your crew harm.
Host Gilles says:
$ <Dozarian> COM:Pharaoh:  Very well.... we will accept transport.
Host CO_Sacul says:
XO:  Warn the Ouit vessels away.  Tell them we are rendering aid to a vessel in distress in open space and they have now jurisdiction here.
CMO_Balena says:
@Self: Let’s see what this does ::starts to scan with his modified sensors::
Host CO_Sacul says:
COM: Dozarian:  Good, prepare for transport now.
Host CO_Sacul says:
OPS:  Get a lock on that crew and beam them over here.
OPS_Sanford says:
::Nods to the Captain.::  *Sickbay*:  Medical Team to Transporter Room One.  ::Attempts to get a lock on the Dozarian crew.::
Host Gilles says:
%<Ouit_OPS> COM: Scarab: Federation shuttle.... explain your departure... we were not contacted to authorize your departure.
OPS_Sanford says:
::Initiates transport.::
Host Gilles says:
ACTION: The crew of the Dozarian vessel materialize in the transporter room.
Host CO_Sacul says:
XO:  You have the bridge.  I'm going to meet our guests.
XO_Santiago says:
::Nods;:  CO:  Understand.. Should I tell Cmdr Quchant to wait a bit more?
XO_Santiago says:
OPS:  Cmdr, try getting a hold of the Ambassador or a least SF Command again.
Host CO_Sacul says:
:: nods :: XO:  Tell him to wait.
OPS_Sanford says:
::Nods and attempts to do as the Commander asks.::
Host Gilles says:
<FCO_Steer> XO: Ma'am..... Ouit vessels....  are still on route.... 3 mins until they arrive.
XO_Santiago says:
FCO:  Evasives...  ::turns::  CIV:  Ready weapons.
Civ_S`sath says:
::readies weapons::
Host Gilles says:
%<Ouit_OPS> COM: Scarab: Federation shuttle.... explain your departure or be fired upon.
FCO_Hawkes says:
@CTO/CMO:  This reminds me of the Asteroid belt run from Earth to Mars.  :;grins::
Host Gilles says:
$<Ouit_OPS> COM: Pharaoh: We are here to capture terrorists.
CTO_Quchant says:
@FCO: Yeh I know what you mean
CMO_Balena says:
@CTO/FCO: I think I'm going to regret this
FCO_Hawkes says:
@CTO:  I think the Ouit want to talk to you.
CTO_Quchant says:
@COM: Ouit: We have not left ...we are just traveling over the surface of the planet doing a few surveys...we will not leave the atmosphere of the planet
XO_Santiago says:
COM:Ouit:  Then you are out of luck.  No Terrorists here.  Have a nice day.
Host Gilles says:
%<Ouit_OPS> COM: Scarab: Federation shuttle... if you leave the atmosphere without authorization you will be fired upon. Confirm!
FCO_Hawkes says:
@::turns down the inertial dampers to increase the shuttle's response times::
CTO_Quchant says:
@COM: Ouit: Confirmed.  We will stick as close to the surface as we can
XO_Santiago says:
OPS:  You think he will buy that?
Host Gilles says:
