CIV_Walker says:
::leaning against the backwall of the Turbolift as he rides it to the bridge, sort of over-perked on coffee::

CTO_Augustus says:
::At Duty station, TAC 1, adjusting and fine tuning the sensors to track the vessel in which the two shuttles had entered and then disappearred::

Host Captain_Turner says:
All: All stations report!

CEO_Q`tor says:
::Sitting at ENG console on the bridge::

XO_Friday says:
::sits at his station, watching out the viewscreen, glad to be away from that planet but nervous about heading for what will likely turn into a firefight as well::

CEO_Q`tor says:
CO: Engineering reports all systems are go. Cloak is operational.

CTO_Augustus says:
CO: Tactical is at Yellow alert, weapons are off-line, cloaking device is working, shields down, and I am feeding to the FCO coordinates and heading of the Ferengi vessel, sir

CIV_Walker says:
::Mind wonders, imagining himself doing soething energettic and supprising to enter the bridge... cartwheels or summersualts or something... then snaps out of it as the turbolift beeps and the doors open, making a half-hearted yet energettic attempt at hopping out the turbolift onto the bridge::

XO_Friday says:
FCO/CTO: ETA to the Ferengi ship?

CTO_Augustus says:
::makes some scans and cross checks::

CTO_Augustus says:
CO: Three hours at current speed sir

Host Captain_Turner says:
CTO: Raise shields. Full yellow status.

CIV_Walker says:
::looks around the bridge, sort of half-expecting applause, then smiles to himself, shakes his head and heads to the aft of the bridge, Crossing the bridge to go past Turner and Friday::

Host Captain_Turner says:
FCO: Full ahead.

FCO_Meyi says:
CO: Aye , sir

CTO_Augustus says:
CO: Sir, no shields when Cloaked sir

Host Captain_Turner says:
::Shakes head:: CTO: Sorry Lt. I keep forgetting that.

CTO_Augustus says:
::Looks at the CO::

CTO_Augustus says:
CO: Skipper, that is one reason I am here

XO_Friday says:
::looks over at Turner:: CO: You'll get it one of these days. ::just turns back without grinning or anything::

Host Captain_Turner says:
XO: I hate that. Feels like flying naked.

XO_Friday says:
::nods:: CO: I'm sure I speak for everyone when I say we're glad that you aren't.

CTO_Augustus says:
CO: Just makes your crew have to pay closer attention sir::Peyes never leave the TAC display::

CIV_Walker says:
::Sits down oposite Q`tor, quietly::

CEO_Q`tor says:
::looks up as Mr. Walker sits down::

CTO_Augustus says:
CO: SKipper we have closed to within two hours at curreent heading and speed, if they do not increase their speed

CIV_Walker says:
::Looks back at Q`tor:: CEO: What?

CEO_Q`tor says:
CIV: I did not say anything

XO_Friday says:
CO: So, what's our plan of attack? You think you'll be able to talk them into surrendering?

CEO_Q`tor says:
::Overhearing the XO:: XO: They are Ferengi. They are spineless p'tagh.

CTO_Augustus says:
::takes a moment to look at his scanners::

CIV_Walker says:
CEO: Induitably. ::Looks at the console infront of him, not sure what it's configured to yet::

CTO_Augustus says:
Self: Damn it!::Slaps his fist to the panel top::

XO_Friday says:
::doesn't disagree with Q`tor, but he doesn't do anything to show he agrees either::

CTO_Augustus says:
CO: We need to slow for a moment sir, I have to verify a signiture, we have two trails that are paralel each other and are very close in signature

CIV_Walker says:
CEO: Oh don't be too quick to judge them, Q'tor, the Ferengi are fun, you just have to speak their language.

Host Captain_Turner says:
XO: There Ferengi, I won't be able to talk them into anything. Negotiate will be more like it.

Host Captain_Turner says:
CTO: Understood.

Host Captain_Turner says:
FCO: Slow to warp 8.

CEO_Q`tor says:
::adjusts power to increase sensor resolution::

CEO_Q`tor says:
CIV: the only language that the verangan understand is at the end of a disruptor.

CTO_Augustus says:
ALL: I have a Maurauder class that is unique in design, the freighter in which we were tracking has the same signature or very similair

CIV_Walker says:
CEO: It's all about... ::looks up for a moment:: ... about give and take. Just have to remember to take enough or they won't respect you.

CTO_Augustus says:
ALL: Type IV freighter Ferengi in design, I am checking to see if any transporter activity has taken place and scanning for the engine tracking signatures of the two shuttles

Host Captain_Turner says:
CTO: Can you get a lock on it?

Host Captain_Turner says:
FCO: Set an intercept course.

CTO_Augustus says:
CO: Wait one moment sir

CEO_Q`tor says:
CIV: Kahless knows that my goal in this life is to live long enough to earn the respect of the verangan

Host Captain_Turner says:
::Stands and turns to the CTO::

CTO_Augustus says:
::scans the area with a fine tooth comb looking for anything that seemed out of place::

CTO_Augustus says:
CO: Skipper I am viewing this though LRS, so I need to slow down to gather information as we close in, also, I dont want to miss anything, after all we have seen a new weapon recently, and have had mines used before on us.  Remember as well no shields, we are cloaked

CTO_Augustus says:
CO: I can distinguish the the trails lets continue on  sir

Host Captain_Turner says:
CTO: Anything you need Lt.

CIV_Walker says:
CEO: Just don't be so quick to judge... ::Suddenly feels the need to stand up and sit elsewhere, but just turns around to face the Viewer, periodically glancing at Friday as if to say "I'm bored"::

CTO_Augustus says:
::starts running a scenario on the TAC 2 console::

CEO_Q`tor says:
CIV: I am not that quick to judge Mr. Walker. You are still alive aren't you?

XO_Friday says:
CTO: Mr Augustus, I assume you've run a tactical analysis - how's it looking?

Host Captain_Turner says:
::Paces the bridge::

CTO_Augustus says:
CO: Sir, the Maurauder came from the lower Starboard side, and left via the upper starboard

CIV_Walker says:
::Doesn't even turn to look at Q`tor:: CEO: Skin of my teeth.

CEO_Q`tor says:
::Smirks::

CTO_Augustus says:
CO: Yes sir, my concern is this, we have a state of art Ferengi class IV Freighter on a normal run to supply materials to the mining operation

Host Captain_Turner says:
CTO: Can we catch up to them?

CTO_Augustus says:
CO: I have just detected traces or residue from a transporter beam and it was large

CMO_Kymar says:
::walks out of his Office and into a TL, muttering to himself about paperwork:: TL: Bridge

CTO_Augustus says:
CO: Transporter must have been a shuttle from the freighter to the Maurauder, and supplies and a few individuals to the freighter, and yes we can but which one you want to track

CMO_Kymar says:
::as the TL stops he gets out and walks onto the Main Bridge to look around::

Host Captain_Turner says:
XO/CTO: Reccomendations?

CEO_Q`tor says:
XO: Sir, I would recommend intercepting the Maurauder first as it is the faster of the two vessels.

CIV_Walker says:
::turns to Q`tor again:: CEO: So... ::pauses, looking around:: I'm bored.

XO_Friday says:
::nods to Q`tor:: CO: I agree with Q`tor.

CMO_Kymar says:
:;doesn't really know what to do on the bridge so he tunes his ears into the surrounding conversation and stares at the viewscreen::

CTO_Augustus says:
CO: Well, they have split up, I would recommend that we go for the Maurauder, it may take longer, but they may have the shuttle and evidince we nee, however, the freighter is closer, and maybe clean of all evidence

CEO_Q`tor says:
::Looks back to Walker:: CIV: So what else is new?

XO_Friday says:
CO: Or, we could dispatch thte Challenger to take the freighter - it would likely be able to overpower it.

CIV_Walker says:
CEO: You tell me. ::Keeps looking around like he has ADD or something::

CTO_Augustus says:
XO: I know this is going to sound strange coming from me, but I disagree with that sir

XO_Friday says:
CTO: Ok, why?

CTO_Augustus says:
CO/XO: First, they transported the shuttle or shuttles off the freighter, more than likely because of the evidence and just what you said Commander, the Challenger can handle it

Host Captain_Turner says:
All: What if we send the Challenger after the frieghter and the QIb can go after the Marauder?

XO_Friday says:
CO: That's what I was getting at sir.

Host Captain_Turner says:
XO/CTO: Great minds think a alike gentlemen. ::Grins::

CTO_Augustus says:
CO/XO: Gentleman I smell a trap,

Host Captain_Turner says:
XO: Assemble a team and take the Challenger after that frieghter.

CTO_Augustus says:
CO: Skipper, my guts say that that is not wise

CIV_Walker says:
::turns and speaks up:: But truely great minds thing differently.

XO_Friday says:
CO: Aye sir. CTO/CIV: Augustus, Walker you're with me. ::heads for the TL::

CTO_Augustus says:
CO: We have had too many common occurances with things like this, and it smells like a wild run, no value

CIV_Walker says:
::looks at Friday, wanting to be picked then smiles when he is::

CMO_Kymar says:
:;folds his arms and glares defiantly at the viewscreen::

Host Captain_Turner says:
XO: Whoa. Hold up Commander.

CTO_Augustus says:
::taps a security code and orders a TO to the bridge, then stands::

CIV_Walker says:
::Turns to Q`tor, grinning:: CEO: Catch you later... ::stands:: ...allagator. ::and heads for the TL::

CTO_Augustus says:
::looks at the CO::

XO_Friday says:
::looks back:: CO: Sir?

CEO_Q`tor says:
::looks confused:: CIV: Who is Alligator?

CTO_Augustus says:
CO: Skipper, you met that feeling when you first came aboard, something isn't right

Host Captain_Turner says:
XO: You're less likely to get into a fire fight with a frieghter. I'll need my most experienced tactician here in case that Marauder Daimon decides he has a Klingon attitude.

Host Captain_Turner says:
CTO: What are you trying to say?

XO_Friday says:
CO: Ok. Q`tor ok then?

CTO_Augustus says:
CEO: You remember when we went hunting?  You said you could dmell that the Targh was in heeat?  Same smell it's fishy

CEO_Q`tor says:
::bursts out laughing at the thought of a Ferengi with a Klingon attitude::

CTO_Augustus says:
CO: They want you to split your forces, simple tactical thought process

CIV_Walker says:
::stops then turns to Q`tor:: CEO: A big lazy lizard with one heck of a toothy grin, that never knows when to shut it's mouth?

CEO_Q`tor says:
CTO: You forget one thing. The Challenger is unique and is not commonly known of.

Host Captain_Turner says:
CTO: Hmmm. You may be right.

CIV_Walker says:
CEO: They also seem to have a short temper, you'd get along like a house on fire...

CTO_Augustus says:
CEO: Understood, however, it is forcing us to display are strengths, something that I am against just yet

Host Captain_Turner says:
XO: Ready the Challenger but we'll stick together for now.

XO_Friday says:
CO: Aye sir. ::turns to Walker:: CIV: Can you take care of that?

Host Captain_Turner says:
FCO: Set course for the freighter.

CEO_Q`tor says:
CTO: Have they showed any signs of knowing that we are pursuing them?

CTO_Augustus says:
CO: I do recommend sending a probe out, that way we can still see where the freighter is heading

CIV_Walker says:
::looks sort of disheartened:: XO: I have the ability, if that's what you're asking.

Host Captain_Turner says:
CTO: I want you to assemble a tactical team in the armoury and get me all information you can on both classes of ship. Have another officer take your place on the bridge for now.

CEO_Q`tor says:
CTO: If anything they would be expecting a Federation starship, not a cloaked Klingon battle cruiser. We have surprise on our side.

XO_Friday says:
CIV: I know that, I was asking you to go down there and do it.

CTO_Augustus says:
CEO: Commander, just something inside me, says they do, after all, I would not have came in low parralelled the freighter, left high on the same side, something isn't and a smart individual would make the assessment that we are, after all we responded to a emergency message that was broadcasted in the clear, and they know we answered it

CTO_Augustus says:
CO: Aye sir

CIV_Walker says:
XO: Well I don't know, Commander, will we actually get to do something this time or am I to just sit in the cockpit for a couple of hours again?

CEO_Q`tor says:
CTO: Even is that is the case, a vor'cha is more than a match for a Ferengi Maurauder.

CTO_Augustus says:
CEO: No Commander, they know we answered it, they know this ships reputation.  The only thing they might not know  is Captain Turner is in Command, and I have displayed a common action, find them fight them beat them, know I hav eto adapt

CTO_Augustus says:
CO: I am going to the armory

XO_Friday says:
::frowns:: CIV: Just get down there and do it. ::heads back to his seat, leaving Walker at the turbolift by himself::

CMO_Kymar says:
::taps his comm badge and gets a report from sickbay for the casualties that were beamed up during the crisis on Dranuse::

CTO_Augustus says:
::departs as the TO takes his station::

CEO_Q`tor says:
::getting excited at the thought of the possible impending battle::

CIV_Walker says:
::grumbles and think how bored he is going to be and how much he is going to hate them for this, sternly speaking:: TL: Main Cargo Bay.

FCO_Meyi says:
CO: SIr, I have to slow,  we have  some spatial effects ahead...

Host Captain_Turner says:
FCO: What is it?

CIV_Walker says:
::riddes the TL all the way to the appropriete deck and section then steps off, storming towards the cargobay doors::

FCO_Meyi says:
CO: Mini anamolies,  I am not sure, I haven't the sensors to really tell, just know there is something there, and don't want to run into them

CEO_Q`tor says:
::adjusts power for sensors for better resolution::

XO_Friday says:
::sits up straight and looks over at Turner, with a bad feeling about this:: CO: We didn't see these on sensors earlier... ::afraid the Ferengi might be up to some tricks::

CIV_Walker says:
::gets to the Challenger main hatch and types in on the door-panel to get access::

CIV_Walker says:
::Steps aboard the challenger and sits down at the ops console, starting up main power and pre-flight protocols::

Host Captain_Turner says:
FCO/XO: Alright lets steer clear of them then.

CEO_Q`tor says:
::walks over to the SCI station and begins reading the sensors::

TO_Tucker says:
CO: I detect some sort of mine field

Host Captain_Turner says:
TO: Mine field?

Host Captain_Turner says:
XO: Red alert!

XO_Friday says:
::frowns:: CO/TO: That's what I was afraid of. TO: Red alert.

TO_Tucker says:
CO: AYe, sir that is what my sensors read of those "Voids"

CIV_Walker says:
::powers up the subsystems and runs a few quick diagnostics for preflight, grumbling and thinking really hard about how bored he is...::

CMO_Kymar says:
::hears the TO and taps his commbadge:: MO_Doherty: Prepare Sickbay for casualties, we are about to enter a minefield. Kymar out

CEO_Q`tor says:
CO: Sir, if we hit that mine field while cloaked with no shields.....

FCO_Meyi says:
CO: I recommend we send a shuttle out to lead us through

CEO_Q`tor says:
CO: However if we raise shields we give away our position.

XO_Friday says:
CO: Challenger is standing by, Walker is down there, we could launch in 2 minutes.

Host Captain_Turner says:
FCO/XO: Alright. Take the Challenger and scout out a path for us.

Host Captain_Turner says:
Self: This is gonna be one of those day. ::Sighs::

CEO_Q`tor says:
CO: The Challenger may be to large sir. A standard cloaked battle shuttle might be better.

CIV_Walker says:
::leans back in his chair, resting an elbow on the arm rest, using it to prop his head up::

XO_Friday says:
CO: Aye sir. ::practically runs to the TL, he's looking forward to this actually:: *CIV*: You better be ready to launch Walker, I'm coming down.

FCO_Meyi says:
::checks his duty roster:: CO: Sending for a pilot for the shuttle, but he is not trained on Challenger, I am afraid

CIV_Walker says:
::Straightens back and sits up, begins typing pretty fast to finish preflight up::

CMO_Kymar says:
::scratches his nose and awaits the report from Sickbay::

XO_Friday says:
::arrives in the shuttlebay and heads straight to the Challenger:: CIV: Ok Walker, you have tactical. ::grins and sits at the conn::

Host Captain_Turner says:
FCO: Then it would be better if you called him to the bridge and pilot the Challenger yourself.

CIV_Walker says:
XO: Shouldn'tI just tieing Tac and Ops?

XO_Friday says:
CIV: Sure, just make sure you aren't going to have trouble blasting away at the Ferengi.

FCO_Mordred says:
::hops aboard the Challenger and buttons her up ::

CIV_Walker says:
XO: Right, but I think I'm more useful if I have Engineering access at the same time, so Ops and Tactical together will supply it. ::smiles as he ties the two consoles togheter and feels like omniuser...::

FCO_Meyi says:
CO: He is aboard the challenger already
