Episode V
IKS Q’lb
A fanatic is one who can’t change his mind and won’t change the subject
•	Winston Churchill
MISSION ORDERS - 
Contact has been lost with both the USS Orion, the USS Independence and the New Wilmington outpost near the Aquilae starcluster. The last report from the USS Orion was that it was enroute to aid a civilian cruise liner under attack by unknown and hostile alien forces. The USS Nymph, Excelsior Class, was in the area and is investigating the loss of contact with the Orion – she has yet to report in..
There is a rumor coming from the depths of the Klingon Empire that a groups of religious fanatics have managed to take control of a small Klingon Imperial Starfleet base near the Federation/Klingon border. Up until now, the official stance of the Klingon Empire is that no such incident has occurred and that all reports are just rumors. However, long range scans indicate massive internal troop movements around Klingon Outpost designation: Omega Tango Three. This is the same base that is rumored to be under the control by Religious Fanatics.
The I.K.S. Q’lb, being the only ship in the area with a Cloaking Device, is to cloak and investigate the nature of these rumors. Attempt to find out what has gotten these Fanatics riled up, what their capabilities are, and what the Klingon Empire is doing about it. 

Host CO_Guthrie says:

Mission Briefing: Our orders are to investigate a rumor indicating the hostile takeover of Klingon Outpost Omega Tango Three. It is suspected that the base is now under the control of Klingon Religious Fanatics. As contact has been lost with several Federation vessels, we are to proceed with the utmost caution, keeping our presence hidden at all costs. Once there, should the rumors prove valid, we are to glean any and all information possible about these zealots; their capabilities, the cause of their ire, and what steps the Klingon government has taken in this matter.

FCO: Set course for the Federation/Klingon border and engage at maximum warp.

OPS: Monitor all subspace communications in the area. Report any unusual broadcasts to Commander Guthrie or myself immediately.

TAC: Engage cloak and monitor the area for any hostile ships. Make sure cloak, weapons, and shields are at maximum efficiency.

MED: Prepare for any casualties should we come under fire.

CNS: As we may be dealing with extremists, your diplomacy could come in handy. Be prepared in that event to work with Commander Guthrie in establishing non-hostile communications.

XO: As you were formerly this ship's counselor, your expertise may be required as well as that of our present counselor. If contact is made with these renegades, I want you and the counselor to work together on establishing a working dialogue between our ships.

All other departments remain at ready. Be prepared to lend aid where needed.

All: That is all.

XO Guthrie says:
::sits in the adjacent chair, staring at viewscreen::

FCO trKeir says:
::lays in a course and engages::

SCI Akira says:
CO, XO, OPS: All ship emissions show we are ready for silent running.

CTO Raven says:
:: confirms cloaking ability with engineering ::

XO Guthrie says:
SCI: Very good, Ensign. ::smiles::

CO Guthrie says:
SCI: Thank you, Mr. Yamamoto.

CTO Raven says:
CO:  I'll engage cloak in just a sec, sir.

SCI Akira says:
:: monitors ship emissions and locks passive scan for sensor array ::

 FCO trKeir says:
CO: ETA 5 minutes Captain.

 CO Guthrie says:
::nods at CTO::

SCI Akira says:
:: grins ::

CTO Raven says:
Self:  Alright.... so I engage th......  and this setting here..... and......

CO Guthrie says:
FCO: Acknowledged. ::slight adrenaline rush::

CO Guthrie says:
CTO: Cloak ready yet, Mr. Raven? ::arches eyebrow::

XO Guthrie says:
::sees the lights dim accordingly on the bridge::

SCI Akira says:
:: looks toward TAC station ::

CTO Raven says:
:: still watching monitor :: CO:  Yesss....  It's all set.  Here we go.  :: engages cloak ::

OPS Rodz says:
::looks at CTO::

SCI Akira says:
:: Double checks emissions ::

CO Guthrie says:
::relieved sigh as they cloak::

FCO trKeir says:
<EO_Torok>CO: Sir engineering ready, damage repair teams are on standby.

OPS Rodz says:
::blinks ::

CTO Raven says:
:: looks up around bridge :: CO:  And we're rigged for ultra quiet!  We're ready for action!

CO Guthrie says:
EO: Well done.

CO Guthrie says:
CTO: Excellent! ::smiles slightly::

FCO trKeir says:
::checking course::

 CO Guthrie says:
::sits back, watching viewscreen::

XO Guthrie says:
CO: Have you a bad feeling about this?

OPS Rodz says:
::keeps scanning subspace communications::

SCI Akira says:
:: adjusts sensors to mask out QIb neutrino emissions so the sensors won't pickup the ghost cloak ::

CO Guthrie says:
::nods:: XO: I've a bad feeling about anything involving the word 'fanatic'...

CTO Raven says:
OPS:  Can you give me more scanning power?

CO Guthrie says:
XO: However... I'm sure we'll pull through this. Somehow… ::grim smile::

 XO Guthrie says:
CO: We always do...

CO Guthrie says:
OPS: Give Mr. Raven all the power he needs. We need to keep defenses at top notch efficiency.

OPS Rodz says:
CTO: Sure ::taps on console::

CO Guthrie says:
XO: Indeed.... ::smiles::

FCO trKeir says:
::takes the ship out of warp:: CO: Captain we have arrived.

CTO Raven says:
:: console beeps :: Self:  Whoa.  OPS:  Hold it right there.  I've got something on scans.

OPS Rodz says:
CO: Yes Ma'am.

CO Guthrie says:
CTO: .....::looks at him expectantly::

SCI Akira says:
CO:  Getting conflicting scans Captain. Scans show 30 K'vort class and B'rell Birds of Prey around station and a Vor'Cha Class Cruiser, but can only get a true fix on 15 ships.

CO Guthrie says:
FCO: Acknowledged....

OPS Rodz says:
CTO: OK :taps quickly on console::

XO Guthrie says:
SCI: Illusion, maybe?

CTO Raven says:
CO:  Confirmed.  There are a lot of ships out there.  But we can't pick up any radio comm.

CO Guthrie says:
::curses under breath:: SCI: I see....

OPS Rodz says:
CO: They most be on radio silence

CTO Raven says:
SCI:  I think they're masking their comm traffic.  Can we pick up their frequencies somehow?

SCI Akira says:
CO:  I'll try to mask out warp signatures

CO Guthrie says:
OPS: See if you can narrow the comm frequency.....::nods at her comment::

OPS Rodz says:
CO: Yes Ma'am

SCI Akira says:
CTO: No sir.  No subspace radio emissions.  They might be 'running silent' too

K_Trant says:
@ ::Inside, looking at all the disruptor rifles he has prepared::

OPS Rodz says:
::tries to narrow the comm frequency::

CO Guthrie says:
CTO: I'm assuming our cloak is still working properly? Yes?

CTO Raven says:
SCI/FCO: Then they must be in a patrol.  They have their orders already.  We should stay away from their routes.

TKirl says:
@::assisting K'Trant in preparations::

CTO Raven says:
CO:  Let me check.  :: verifies cloak :: Yup, it's still online.

SCI Akira says:
:: checks to make sure that we can't be detected ::

CO Guthrie says:
::nods:: CTO: Excellent....

SCI Akira says:
CO: Should I do a low level Tachyon scan, Ma'am?

CO Guthrie says:
SCI: As long as it doesn't reveal our location you may proceed. ::nods::

FCO trKeir says:
::keeps their distance::

CTO Raven says:
SCI:  Not a good idea.  They could detect that and then see us...

OPS Rodz says:
::keeps scanning for communications::

CTO Raven says:
SCI:  I recommend a passive scan of their ships and the area.

SCI Akira says:
CTO, CO: Aye.

K_Trant says:
@ ::Tosses some rifles to some men to guard the area::

XO Guthrie says:
OPS: So they are being silent......?

OPS Rodz says:
XO: Yes, sir. Not a Beep.

 XO Guthrie says:
OPS: Odd....

OPS Rodz says:
XO: Very odd.

K_Trant says:
@ Tkirl: Do you detect anything out there?

CO Guthrie says:
::feels strange..... bad vibes...::

CTO Raven says:
FCO:  Look at this trajectory; they don't seem to be in this area.  We can get closer to the base through this path.

CO Guthrie says:
::rubs her forehead ridges nervously::

TKirl says:
@K_Trant: Not yet ..oh Master.

FCO trKeir says:
::looks over the data:: CTO: Aye sir. If I stay at 1/4 impulse shouldn't be a problem.

XO Guthrie says:
CO: We should probably send an infiltration team over.... Very small... very covert.

K_Trant says:
@ Tkirl: Kahless is our master... as any great warrior knows.

CO Guthrie says:
::nods:: XO: You lead it.

SCI Akira says:
CO, XO, CTO, OPS: Getting very little emissions from the base.  :: scans for life forms ::

 CO Guthrie says:
XO: Be careful. I've got a bad feeling.... ::said quietly::

XO Guthrie says:
CO: ..... Right-ho. CTO: I'll need you along.

XO Guthrie says:
::smiles::

CO Guthrie says:
SCI: Report anything unusual immediately.

TKirl says:
@K_Trant: Kahless is my God...You are my master.

CTO Raven says:
:: looks up :: XO:  Okay.  I'll be right there.  SCI:  you've got my console.  Take good care of it!  :: grins ::

SCI Akira says:
XO:  I'll try and find the least active location for the AT.

SCI Akira says:
CO: Aye Ma'am

FCO trKeir says:
CO: The CTO has found a route to get us in closer undetected.

XO Guthrie says:
CTO: If their interior designers are from the same school of thought, the area will be somber and sparsely lit....

 CO Guthrie says:
FCO: Take us in. Nice and slow...

Spft says:
@::Nods at TKirl's comments::

CTO Raven says:
XO:  We should probably take some knives since weapons could potentially be detected.

XO Guthrie says:
CTO: The uniforms should be good enough for cover.

XO Guthrie says:
CTO: Good thinking. ::smiles::

FCO trKeir says:
:: uses the CTO trajectory data and engages at 1/4 impulse::

CTO Raven says:
XO:  I mean, powered weapons could be detected.

TKirl says:
@K_Trant: Master, I detected a blip. Checking...not sure. Might be a glitch.

Spft says:
@::Continues to polish his weapon::

K_Trant says:
@ ::Turns:: Tkirl: A blip?

CTO Raven says:
XO:  Do you know if our medical team has any bio-dampers?  They may help improve our cloak inside the base.  I read about it this month.

SCI Akira says:
:: stops scanning :: CO:  I believe that we should scan at random intervals to avoid detection.

XO Guthrie says:
CTO: I'm not sure.....

XO Guthrie says:
CTO: Starfleet may not have considered us beaming over...

Spft says:
@::Stops chanting to listen to Tkirl::

CO Guthrie says:
XO: Keep an open comm link while you're gone....

XO Guthrie says:
CO: Will do..... ::smiles....::

TKirl says:
@K_Trant: Some kind of emission. ::rechecks again and again::

CTO Raven says:
XO:  Let's just go, and be real quiet.  It shouldn't be a problem.

XO Guthrie says:
CTO: Very good. ::grins::

CO Guthrie says:
SCI: Agreed. And contact Sickbay for the bio-dampers.

XO Guthrie says:
::steps into TL::

SCI Akira says:
CO: Ma'am, the carrier could be detected if their comms are open

CTO Raven says:
:: walks with XO ::

CO Guthrie says:
::watches XO and CTO go with a feeling of forbidding::

OPS Rodz says:
::looks at CTO leave::

FCO trKeir says:
CO: This is as close as I can get us and avoid detection Captain.

CO Guthrie says:
SCI: Yes... ::purses lips:: Of course...

K_Trant says:
@ ::Slides two Mek'Leth into their holsters attached to his belt, puts a D'k tahg in his boot, and slides a Bat'leth on his back::

SCI Akira says:
*MED* Akira to Sickbay...

K_Trant says:
@ Tkirl: These days... any kind of emission could mean anything... perhaps even the return of Kahless.

CO Guthrie says:
*XO* Scratch the open comm link. I don't want you two to be detected.

XO Guthrie says:
*CO*: Understood.

CO Guthrie says:
*XO* And you might want to pick up some bio-dampers from sickbay on your way out.

CTO Raven says:
:: removes his phaser and picks up two knives from his locker in the transporter room ::

Spft says:
@::Eyes widen and glisten at the thought of Kahless returning::

FCO trKeir says:
::comes to full stop slowly::

XO Guthrie says:
::picks up a knife.... examines it.......::

TKirl says:
@K_Trant: ::furnishing himself with weapons of glory:: I'm ready to take on and make way for "his" return.

 CO Guthrie says:
::runs hands nervously over the consoles on arms of chair::

CTO Raven says:
XO:  Ready sir.  Are you armed?

OPS Rodz says:
::Looks at the CO:: CO: still nothing on the comm link, Ma'am.

Spft says:
@::Rises dagger high over head and howls for battle::  KAHLESS.

XO Guthrie says:
CTO: I am.

 CO Guthrie says:
::sighs:: OPS: I have a feeling it's gonna stay that way too. Keep scanning, but your main priority is to keep a lock on the AT.

CTO Raven says:
:: steps onto transporter pad ::

XO Guthrie says:
::stands on Transporter pad::

FCO trKeir says:
CO: I've plotted a course out of the system, just in case.

OPS Rodz says:
CO Yes , ma'am.

TKirl says:
@K_Trant: Master… there it is again! Another blip.

CO Guthrie says:
FCO: Good thinking. ::smiles::

OPS Rodz says:
::locks on the CTO and XO::

SCI Akira says:
CO: Ma'am I have an idea on how to increase our sensor resolution.

K_Trant says:
@ ::Frowns:: I don't like these "blips." ::Turns:: Spft: Take an assault force of 20 and search the perimeter.

  CO Guthrie says:
FCO: You might want to alter our position from time to time. Just in case we're being detected somehow.

FCO trKeir says:
CO: Aye Captain.

CO Guthrie says:
SCI: Oh? Let's hear it, Ensign. ::smiles::

CTO Raven says:
:: turns about :: XO:  Let's get that information and leave before they can even say "alert"!

Spft says:
@K_Trant: My honor.  ::Gathers men and departs::

XO Guthrie says:
CTO: I plan to, friend. ::smiles::

Spft says:
@::Gives the patrol their assignments and eases outside::

SCI Akira says:
CO:  If our intel on Klingon Tech is correct.  We should be able to send out a active sensor pulse below their subspace reception threshold, bounce it off the planet and catch it as it decays into normal space on the bounce.....

K_Trant says:
@ ::Watches Spft and the men depart, knowing that something is interfering with their attempt to cleanse the path::

THE AT BEAMS TO THE SURFACE

CO Guthrie says:
SCI: And this will not reveal our location? You're certain of that?

CTO Raven says:
@:: surveys their landing area ::

AS THE AT MATERIALIZES ON THE SURFACE THE KLINGONS LAUNCH 5 B`REL CLASS BoP THAT BEGIN COMBAT PATROLS, SOME SWING TOWARDS THE ORBITING I.K.S. QIb

XO Guthrie says:
@CTO: Come on-! ::makes for the shadows::

SCI Akira says:
:: catches breath ::

OPS Rodz says:
CO: I got a lock on them.

TKirl says:
@K_Trant: Men are being deployed K'Trant oh Master. Shall I inform the others to get ready as well?

CTO Raven says:
@:: rushes after XO ::

CO Guthrie says:
::watches newly launched ships with worry::

K_Trant says:
@ Tkirl: Yes.

SCI Akira says:
CO:  Well,  I can't be certain Ma'am

FCO trKeir says:
::sees the ships launch::

XO Guthrie says:
@CTO: More patrols than I thought there would be... How many people on this base again?

Spft says:
@::Watches his men disperse, takes two with him::

TKirl says:
@:: sends all a message of readiness::

CO Guthrie says:
FCO: Be ready for evasive maneuvers if they should detect us. Move us further away from them...

OPS Rodz says:
::Looks at the viewscreen worried::

CTO Raven says:
@:: points:: XO:  I think Our Sci officer said 700+  There's some over there.

SCI Akira says:
CO: It is just a theory and...

XO Guthrie says:
@::nods......::

XO Guthrie says:
@CTO: They don't look too uppity. Must be the fanaticism. That's never fun.

XO Guthrie says:
@::backs up further into the dimly lit corridor::

FCO trKeir says:
CO: Aye, Captain ::moves the ship away from the newly launched ships::

CO Guthrie says:
SCI: Well... ::sighs:: As soon as these ships have passed and are out of range, you may try it.... but.....

Spft says:
@::Moves slowly, trying not to be noticed::

CTO Raven says:
@XO:  I think you're right, but don't encourage them.  :: looks right :: Hey, look.  Is that a console?

TKirl says:
@K_Trant: Intruders upon our base area. I'm not certain but I read a few unusual life forms.

SCI Akira says:
CO: Sir, I’ve picked up something on long range scans.

XO Guthrie says:
@CTO: ..... ::looks....:: Maybe.. See what you can access. It might just be a glorified light switch.. Which would be bad...

CO Guthrie says:
SCI: Desist if there is any sign of det--.... What is it?

CO Guthrie says:
::walks over to SCI station::

35 OTHER KLINGON SHIPS APPEAR ON THE EDGE OF THE SYSTEM FROM WARP AND HEAD INTO THE SYSTEM AT FULL IMPULSE

Spft says:
@::Motions his men to act "normal"::

SCI Akira says:
CO:  35 ship coming in a high warp

CO Guthrie says:
::curses:: Self: Too many.....

CTO Raven says:
@::snickers:: XO:  I hope not, but if it is, be sure to cover my escape!  :: sneaks over to the computer::

SCI Akira says:
CO: Now at full Impulse Sir.  They are in a hurry...

CO Guthrie says:
OPS: Any communications indicating they've detected us?

FCO trKeir says:
::looks over at Akira::

CO Guthrie says:
FCO: Keep our distance from those ships!

OPS Rodz says:
CO: No communications, Yet

CTO Raven says:
@:: examines the foreign machine :: Self:  Dang, I should have studied more Klingon!  :: presses a menu button ::

THE BoP's THAT HAD BEEN LAUCHED DIVERT TO INTERCEPT

FCO trKeir says:
::maneuvers to keep them away, carefully::

CO Guthrie says:
::walks over to OPS and pats her shoulder:: OPS: Keep trying. ::sighs and offers a small smile::

SCI Akira says:
CO:  15 D7, 15 Bird of Prey and 5 Vor’cha....They mean business.  The locals are in for a beating...

THE REMAINING VESSELS ON THE PLANET ARE SCRAMBLED AND THEN THE SHIELDS GO UP

OPS Rodz says:
::smiles back::

CTO Raven says:
@Self:  It looks kinda like that engineering system by the launcher...  :: Presses more buttons, looking for any useful info::

CO Guthrie says:
::grimaces:: All: And we're right in the middle of it...

Spft says:
@::Sees the unknown Klingons and approaches::

SCI Akira says:
CO:  The local Birds of Prey are going to intercept

CO Guthrie says:
OPS: See if you can set up a secure channel to the AT. I want to know what they've found...

Spft says:
@::Their band of three block the way::

OPS Rodz says:
CO Yes Ma'am ::starts working on it::

FCO trKeir says:
CO: Things are heating up around here.

XO Guthrie says:
@CTO: ....

CO Guthrie says:
SCI: .... ::sighs::

CTO Raven says:
@:: locates an encrypted transmission regarding Federation vessels in the area :: ::annoyed:: XO:  What!?

OPS Rodz says:
CO: I lost the lock on them!

Spft says:
@XO: You are new here, no?

CO Guthrie says:
FCO: Indeed. ::frowns:: And we're to keep our presence secret at all costs....

XO Guthrie says:
@CTO: Keep working.....

CO Guthrie says:
::turns to OPS:: OPS: What?! How?

XO Guthrie says:
@Spft: New transfers.

A HUGE BATTLE BEGINS TAKING PLACE WITH THOSE FROM THE CURRENT BASE GETTING THE WORST OF IT

OPS Rodz says:
::tries to lock on them::

CO Guthrie says:
OPS: Get it back! ::somewhat frantic::

K_Trant says:
@ ::There is a beeping on the console, he looks, and curses in Klingon:: Tkirl: The empire has sent several vessels this way, our Birds of Prey are trying to stop the infidels... but...

CTO Raven says:
@:: pulls out a universal isolinear chip to transfer data ::

Spft says:
@::Nods:: XO: I see.  Do you seek "the way?"

OPS Rodz says:
CO: Their shields are up

FCO trKeir says:
::trying to keep them away from the battle::

XO Guthrie says:
@Spft: ..... No. Thanks.

CTO Raven says:
@::looks back and sees the XO conversing with a Klingon ::

ONE BY ONE THE LOCAL SHIPS EXPLODE IN SPACE WITH FEW OF THE ATTACKING SHIPS TAKING MUCH DAMAGE

CO Guthrie says:
::curses... yet again:: OPS: Monitor that shielding. Beam the AT out as soon as it is released. It's too risky to leave them there.

Spft says:
@::Frowns:: XO: No? Transferred from where?

OPS Rodz says:
::starts tapping on the console as fast as she can::

TKirl says:
@K_Trant: What is the status of our fleet?

OPS Rodz says:
CO: Yes Ma'am.

XO Guthrie says:
@Spft: Transferred from...... the.... main base.

Spft says:
@::Notes his companions getting jumpy::

K_Trant says:
@ ::Narrows his eyes as he sees that the Birds of Prey have been destroyed:: Tkirl: The fleet is gone. Don't these infidels know what they're doing?!?

FCO trKeir says:
::keeps their distance from the action::

TKirl says:
@*Spft*: Report!

SEVERAL STRAY SHOTS HIT THE SHIELDS OF THE QIb , THE SHIELDS ARE NOW DOWN TO 75%

Spft says:
@XO: The... main base.  What are you looking for?

K_Trant says:
@ ::Walks over, and grabs a disruptor, adding it to his collection of weapons::

CTO Raven says:
@::gets encrypted info about local ship movements ::

  XO Guthrie says:
@Spft: ....

CO Guthrie says:
FCO: Keep this distance, but make sure we're within minimal transporter range.

Spft says:
@*Tkirl* ::whispers:: Talking now, wait.

CTO Raven says:
@:: removes chip, looks towards XO, crouches in shadows ::

 XO Guthrie says:
@Spft: I am here to.... assess your battle readiness.

OPS Rodz says:
SCI: How is the Cloak?

TKirl says:
@*Spft*: To whom? ::whispering it::

SCI Akira says:
CO:  Ma'am.  Those hits might have allowed us to be detected, but emissions are normal

WARNING KLAXONS GO OFF IN THE QIb's ENGINE ROOM SIGNALING A COOLANT RUPTURE

K_Trant says:
@ ::Wonders what is going on:: *Spft* What is going on? What you uncovered on patrol!

Spft says:
@*Tkirl* I believe we have some new followers.

Spft says:
@XO: Follow me then.

OPS Rodz says:
SCI : I’m transferring power to the cloak

CO Guthrie says:
::nods at SCI:: SCI: You might be of some use to them down there.

XO Guthrie says:

TKirl says:
@*Spft*: Bring them to us. Now.

CTO Raven says:
@Self:  What is he doing!?  Where is he going!?

CO Guthrie says:
SCI: Report to Engineering and offer your services. 
OPS: Slave the SCI console to your console.

FCO trKeir says:
