OPS_Ens_Cherry says:
::on the bridge listening as well::

CSO_Lt_Kraight says:
:: at Science One on the bridge, preparing the final adjustments to the microjump and projector programs ::

Host David_Thorn says:
ACTION: The tension on the Quirinus bridge could be cut with a bat'leth ... the crew listens to Thorn speak.

FCO_Ens_Morgan says:
@::looks around at the others and quickly finds a seat::

Host David_Thorn says:
ACTION: On the surface, the various delegates from dozens of races ... all whom have either been rejected by the Federation or never encountered before take their seats.

XO_Cmdr_Pangborn says:
@::sits at a nearby table::

CNS_Lt_Ris`Mor says:
::enters the bridge and waits toward the back.. letting the events soak in and observes the crew for now::

CSO_Lt_Kraight says:
:: taps one last control ::  CO: Captain, the program for the microjump to the L1 point has been transferred to the FCO'

CMO_Munro says:
::Decides to listen to what is happening on the planet::

CSO_Lt_Kraight says:
CO: ... to the FCO's station.

OPS_Ens_Cherry says:
::inexplicably sneezes::

CTO_LtJG_Telarus says:
@ ::finds the closest chair::

Host CO_Capt_Sulek says:
Kraight: Now all we must do is wait for the action to start.

Host David_Thorn says:
ACTION: Waiters and waitresses begin bringing out various trays of food to each table, providing snacks from various species. Small hovering orbs scan those being served, and inform them what they can or cannot eat.

CSO_Lt_Kraight says:
CO: Yes, sir. The new isomorphic projector program will be activated automatically as we exit warp at the L1 point.

CNS_Lt_Ris`Mor says:
::looks at the OPS for a moment::

Host CO_Capt_Sulek says:
::turns seeing the CNS:: Ris'Mor: Counselor, welcome aboard.

Host CO_Capt_Sulek says:
Ris'Mor: I trust you found your quarters and have had time to settle in?

Host David_Thorn says:
<FCO's Orb> @ You are able to eat all the foods present. Please enjoy.

OPS_Ens_Cherry says:
::looks around at the new CNS::

Host David_Thorn says:
<XO's Orb> @ You are able to eat all the foods present. Please enjoy.

FCO_Ens_Morgan says:
@::doesn't like this at all::

Host David_Thorn says:
<CTO's Orb> @ Your species indicates you are allergic to the Salkine Pastries and the D'Ordrian Soup. Please do not eat any for your own safety.

CNS_Lt_Ris`Mor says:
::swipes her tail over the floor and watches the CSO:: CO: yes sir.. ::tilts her head:: but perhaps I should leave for now.. your Operations officer seems.. sniffy

XO_Cmdr_Pangborn says:
@::abstains from eating - for now::

CTO_LtJG_Telarus says:
@ ::scans the room with his eyes noticing every detail just incase::

OPS_Ens_Cherry says:
::smiles at the CNS::  CNS:  No worries.

Host David_Thorn says:
@ ::As they all take a seat, he remains standing:: Today ... today is an important day.

OPS_Ens_Cherry says:
*CMO*:  When you have a minute could you bring me some antihistamines and an allergy shot?

FCO_Ens_Morgan says:
@::takes a selection of food and places it on her plate, but doesn't eat.::

Host David_Thorn says:
@ ::Looks around at the large hall, his voice echoing:: Today is the beginning of not just friendships ... not just alliances ... but a whole new day for our respective peoples. For too long have many of you been shunned by the powerful of this Universe. Why? Just because you can't offer anything amazing to those who believe themselves superior.

CNS_Lt_Ris`Mor says:
OPS: no worries indeed.. but you are spraying your console in spit..

Host CO_Capt_Sulek says:
Ris'Mor: I would like you to look over the present mission logs and strategy.

CMO_Munro says:
*OPS*: I am on my way. ::She said tearing her eyes from her screen::

OPS_Ens_Cherry says:
:: a bit huffy::  CNS:  I don't spit.  I believe that's a feline trait.

CMO_Munro says:
::She quickly got up and began preparing the hypo::

CNS_Lt_Ris`Mor says:
CO: I had already reviewed what I could find in the database sir, i find it rather disturbing your former counselor turned on the federation.. 

OPS_Ens_Cherry says:
::sneezes again::

CMO_Munro says:
::Grabs antihistamines::

CNS_Lt_Ris`Mor says:
OPS: you disdain with my description of yourr actions is noted.. ::folds arms back::

Host CO_Capt_Sulek says:
Ris'Mor: We hope to end this here.  I assume that I may rely on you to do all that you can to help.

OPS_Ens_Cherry says:
::smiles a particularly phony smile and turns her attention to her console::

FCO_Ens_Morgan says:
@::listens to Thorn skeptically::

XO_Cmdr_Pangborn says:
@::watches and gives the signal to Telarus::

CTO_LtJG_Telarus says:
@::gets up in a rage whipping out a phaser pointing to the undercover FCO:: FCO: Traitor of the New Federation! For David Thorn!  ::shoots FCO::

Host CO_Capt_Sulek says:
::returns his attention to the com signal::

Host David_Thorn says:
@ ::Pauses in surprise::

CNS_Lt_Ris`Mor says:
CO: of course.. this matter has importance to the Caitian Alliance as well.. but I'm not sure what you have in mind at this point

Host David_Thorn says:
ACTION: Shouts of surprise throughout the hall as the FCO is shot.

FCO_Ens_Morgan says:
@::screams and topples over dead::

OPS_Ens_Cherry says:
CO:  Sensors detecting phaser fire, Captain.

Host CO_Capt_Sulek says:
Kraight: Activate the transporter, now.

Host David_Thorn says:
ACTION: Out of seemingly nowhere, security rushes forward and disarms the CTO, hurling him to the ground.

CNS_Lt_Ris`Mor says:
::looks at the OPS and is glad she isn't telepathic::

CSO_Lt_Kraight says:
:: fingers dancing on the console :: CO: Energizing...

Host David_Thorn says:
<General Trebor> @ ::Rushes forward to join security to determine what the hell just happened::

Host David_Thorn says:
<Deborah Craven> @ ::Calls out:: Please, everyone, try to remain calm and seated ... we'll figure out what just happened momentarily ... ::Gives a concerned look to Thorn::

Host David_Thorn says:
@ ::Stares over at the security personnel surrounding the CTO::

XO_Cmdr_Pangborn says:
@::Stands accusatory:: All: Look! This is what the New Federation has wrought!

Host CO_Capt_Sulek says:
Kraight: time to remove the CTO as well.  Hopefully he will have the presence of mind to look like he is using a site to site transporter.

FCO_Ens_Morgan says:
@::is not breathing and is staring sightlessly at nothing.::

XO_Cmdr_Pangborn says:
@All: Cold Blooded Murder!

CMO_Munro says:
*OPS*: Where are you?

OPS_Ens_Cherry says:
*CMO*:  On the bridge.  ::sneezes yet again::

Host CO_Capt_Sulek says:
Kraight: Is the bio smear of the late FCO in place?

CMO_Munro says:
*OPS*: I'm coming. ::Heads towards the bridge::

CTO_LtJG_Telarus says:
@ ::talks out loud to himself in a whisper into his subdermal comm:: COM *Quirinus*: Anytime your ready...

CNS_Lt_Ris`Mor says:
::watches the proceedings with interest::

CSO_Lt_Kraight says:
CO: Yes, sir. Simultaneous transport complete. The FCO has been beamed directly to Sickbay.

Host David_Thorn says:
ACTION: The FCO's "body" disappears in a transporter beam and is replaced by Ferengi intestines. Seemingly making it appear that the FCO was "taken apart" ...

OPS_Ens_Cherry says:
*CMO*:  Emergency transport incoming to sickbay.  I can wait.  Please return there immediately.

FCO_Ens_Morgan says:
<edit the staring sightlessly part out>

Host David_Thorn says:
<General Trebor> @ ::Steps on the CTO's chest, holding him to the ground:: CTO: Explain why you just killed her?

CMO_Munro says:
::Runs back to sickbay after receiving the message::

Host David_Thorn says:
@ ::Looks over at Pangborn who is causing many of the delegates to start shouting and inquiring certain "things"::

FCO_Ens_Morgan says:
::appears in sickbay::

XO_Cmdr_Pangborn says:
@::Points:: Trebor: It was at your command ....and Thorns bidding

Host David_Thorn says:
<Deborah Craven> @ <W> Thorn: I don't know who he is, but I can have him taken out in just a sec--

CSO_Lt_Kraight says:
CO: Locked on to Lt. Telarus... energizing again...

CMO_Munro says:
::Enters sickbay in a hurry looking for whoever was just transported::

Host David_Thorn says:
@ ::Waves his hand at Craven:: XO: Is that so?

OPS_Ens_Cherry says:
::monitoring communications from the meeting room::

CNS_Lt_Ris`Mor says:
::listens to the comm. still playing in the background.. picking out voices and making note of a few words and phrases::

Host David_Thorn says:
ACTION: The CTO disappears in a transporter beam.

CTO_LtJG_Telarus says:
@ ::as he speaks he gives the signal to the Quirinus to beam him out:: Trebor: It was the will of Thorn! ::pretends to be pressing a site to site control::

Host David_Thorn says:
<General Trebor> @ ::Curses:: Security: Try to trace his site to site!

CSO_Lt_Kraight says:
CO: Got him, sir! Beaming him also to Sickbay.

XO_Cmdr_Pangborn says:
@::laughs:: Thorn: A id and you're "New Federation" Cronies didn't khow better. You crush all dissent with your ranks

CMO_Munro says:
::runs and grabs her equipment tray, throwing aside the hypo and antihistimines::

OPS_Ens_Cherry says:
::hopes their transporter signal was adequately disguised::

XO_Cmdr_Pangborn says:
@<edit as if your>

CTO_LtJG_Telarus says:
@ ::beams into Sickbay::

CSO_Lt_Kraight says:
CO: Storm security is trying to trace the transport. The nanites in the comm system are feeding them false data, as planned.

CTO_LtJG_Telarus says:
CMO: How hard did I hit her?

OPS_Ens_Cherry says:
::breathes a sigh of relief::

Host David_Thorn says:
ACTION: There is a growing sense of turmoil in the hall as the XO is left to speak.

CMO_Munro says:
::Grabs the tricorder and begins scanning frantically::

Host David_Thorn says:
<Deborah Craven> @ ::Looks around in surprise as there are more shouts ... the Elleb are raising their firsts in anger::

Host David_Thorn says:
<General Trebor> @ ::Looks at Thorn for orders::

OPS_Ens_Cherry says:
::worries for Pangborn::

XO_Cmdr_Pangborn says:
@ All: It is Thorn you must fear! Look at what he has done to one of his own subordinates! I came here like you, seeking an alternative. But all I find here is death and treachery.

Host CO_Capt_Sulek says:
Kraight: Return our guest in the pattern buffer to an isolated location on the planet.  Maybe they'll find him.

CSO_Lt_Kraight says:
CO: Aye, sir. Initiating materialization sequence.

Host David_Thorn says:
@ ::Pauses and stares at the XO ... thinking ... continues to look distant ... then finally shows some signs of life, makes a hand motion to Trebor who understands::

Host David_Thorn says:
<General Trebor> @ ::Sets out to track the CTO with security::

Host CO_Capt_Sulek says:
Kraight: Beam out the XO

Host David_Thorn says:
@ ALL: Please, quiet down for a moment ... if there is to be a discussion, which is your right, we should do it as equals and with some level of calm.

CMO_Munro says:
::Begins scanning the FCO::

CNS_Lt_Ris`Mor says:
::notices the hissy voices of other aliens she had never met, then the XO's shouting over everyone:: 

FCO_Ens_Morgan says:
::is lying there silently::

Host David_Thorn says:
ACTION: At first, the representatives don't seem to be listening ... then slowly, they seem to come around, quieting down.

XO_Cmdr_Pangborn says:
@All: You must be civilized nations. We cannot allow Thorn and his band of thugs to prevail

Host David_Thorn says:
@ XO: You call us thugs, and many names ... but you have not shared yours, sir.

OPS_Ens_Cherry says:
::looks at the CSO pleadingly::

Host CO_Capt_Sulek says:
Kraight: Delay the XO's beam out for a moment.  He seems to be on to something here.

CNS_Lt_Ris`Mor says:
::sniffs and listens to the calm.. it's a bit off.. looks over at the CO and waits to see what occurs next::

XO_Cmdr_Pangborn says:
@::stands abruptly:: I am Jeremiah Terry, a refugee from what You knew as the Maquis. We weren’t exactly happy with the federation either as you may recall

CSO_Lt_Kraight says:
CO: Aye, sir.

OPS_Ens_Cherry says:
::looks at the CO in shock::

XO_Cmdr_Pangborn says:
@All: I came in search of a better way. But if it is the way of death I will not follow

CMO_Munro says:
::Begins giving the FCO some hypos that will hopefully get her out of this state.::

Host David_Thorn says:
@ ::Looks a little surprised at the name of Jeremiah Terry:: XO: Maquis, eh? You are from the DMZ colonies then. Which one were you from?

FCO_Ens_Morgan says:
::sees a white light::

CNS_Lt_Ris`Mor says:
::notes the OPS expression.. ::

OPS_Ens_Cherry says:
::squishes up her nose as she tries to suppress another sneeze::

CTO_LtJG_Telarus says:
CMO: Sweetie, her vitals are gonna be low for a little bit...I gave her a stun pulse. It actually decreases vitals I did it just incase they would take a scan and see that she w 
as not the right species and that she was still alive.

CTO_LtJG_Telarus says:
*CO*: Sir I left a little surprise behind there is an explosive device ready for arm and detonation when the XO is beamed out, it's small enough for some turmoil and dissent to befall Thorn and his movement.

Host CO_Capt_Sulek says:
*Telarus*: Hold off on detonation. It may come in use later to show the laxness of the Storm security.

FCO_Ens_Morgan says:
::wonders idly if she is dead...and hopes that if she is, they take off the rubber ears before they send her body home::

XO_Cmdr_Pangborn says:
@::Indignat:: Thorn: And of what matter is that? I was all over the place so to speak. And you? Tell us oh great one, what is this alliance of death that you espouse? Pray tell how a demonstration of ruthlessness will further your cause.

Host David_Thorn says:
@ XO: Why must it be an alliance of death? No officer of mine would take action of that. There is no proof that man was one of mine other than your word.

CMO_Munro says:
::Leans over and kisses him, then grabs a Dermal Regenerator::

CNS_Lt_Ris`Mor says:
::walks over next tot he CO.. and closer to the OPS::

OPS_Ens_Cherry says:
::sneezes::

XO_Cmdr_Pangborn says:
@Thorn: And just what was he doing here then? He wore your colors. Besides. I have access to records of your death and destruction that prevail anywhere you go. Your history is against you Thorn.

Host David_Thorn says:
@ XO: What records are those, exactly Mr. Terry? I am not aware of any death or destruction in regard to us.

Host David_Thorn says:
ACTION: There is quiet ... the delegates look between "Terry" and Thorn.

OPS_Ens_Cherry says:
::hopes her eyes aren't all red and puffy::

CNS_Lt_Ris`Mor says:
::looks at the CO for any reactions to the events::

CTO_LtJG_Telarus says:
CMO: I have to debrief, but pull her out of that comma quick we need her up on the Bridge. Bye sweetie... ::gives her a kiss and walks out the door to the TL::

XO_Cmdr_Pangborn says:
@Thorn: As a former Starfleet officer, I have access to certain codes...codes that will show what you have done, on an computer interface you can provide

Host CO_Capt_Sulek says:
::quietly listens to the exchange:: Ris'Mor: The XO does well at causing Thorn to fall into his own traps.

CSO_Lt_Kraight says:
CO: Sir! We're being scanned from the planet!

OPS_Ens_Cherry says:
::eyes widen::

Host CO_Capt_Sulek says:
Helm: Jump us to secondary position.  Kraight: Activate projectors.

CMO_Munro says:
::Runs to the FCO and gives her a hypo that is used to revive patience.

CNS_Lt_Ris`Mor says:
CO: yes he does seem to have a wait of twisting words

OPS_Ens_Cherry says:
<FCO_Joe>::does as ordered::

CTO_LtJG_Telarus says:
::gets into the TL:: TL: Bridge

Host David_Thorn says:
@ XO: So what you're saying is that you would like to access a Starfleet database with codes that are what ... eight, nine years old ... and risk the possibility of Starfleet personnel, which have been proven to be violent to certain representatives present in the past, coming here?

XO_Cmdr_Pangborn says:
@::laughs again:: Thorn: Eight or nine years old? What use would they be? They are current of course. And accurate

CSO_Lt_Kraight says:
:: activates verteron pulse :: CO: Main deflector now emitting phased verteron pulse.

FCO_Ens_Morgan says:
::eyelids flutter briefly::

XO_Cmdr_Pangborn says:
@Thorn: As for detection, you would have thought you would have figured that out. I have ::laughs again::

Host David_Thorn says:
ACTION: As the delegates murmur in wonder and surprise ... the Quirinus jumps to warp and to a different position in the system, changing its readings to become an asteroid.

OPS_Ens_Cherry says:
<FCO_Joe>CO:  In position, Captain.

CMO_Munro says:
::gives her what is left of the dosage::

CSO_Lt_Kraight says:
CO: Asteroid projection in place, sir. Sensors indicate that the verteron pulse has effectively wiped all traces of our last two micro jumps from near space.

Host David_Thorn says:
@ ::Smiles:: XO: You certainly seem to be quite resourceful. I'm wondering, much like those H'rathian traders, how a former Starfleet, and former Maquis, would still have access to current information? Starfleet is usually quite tight about that.

Host CO_Capt_Sulek says:
*Munro* How is the FCO, we could use her on the bridge as soon as possible.

FCO_Ens_Morgan says:
::eyelids flutter again and begin to open::

Host CO_Capt_Sulek says:
Kraight: Good, stay alert.  This place may not remain safe for long.

XO_Cmdr_Pangborn says:
@::a light goes of f in his head:: Thorn: Ah yes! I do remember you from my Maquis days. You were the one who murdered those children in their sleep on Garinax V........As for my information. That is confidential  ::patronizing smile::

FCO_Ens_Morgan says:
::has a really bad headache and is very naseaus::

Host CO_Capt_Sulek says:
Cherry: Be sure that all this is getting through to the delgate ships and off world if possible.

CMO_Munro says:
*Sulek*: She is almost up, captain.

CTO_LtJG_Telarus says:
::enters the Bridge and walks to his station::

CMO_Munro says:
FCO: Are you okay?

Host David_Thorn says:
ACTION: There is more murmuring from the crowds ... an Elleb shouts out ... "I for one, would immensely enjoy having a child murderer as my leader!" a roar of laughter and cheers from the Elleb and Skree parties. Others shout at them to quiet down, others roll their eyes.

CNS_Lt_Ris`Mor says:
::watches the CTO pass by::

OPS_Ens_Cherry says:
::sees the CTO enter the bridge. CTO:  How is Morgan?

FCO_Ens_Morgan says:
::shakes her head and winces::

Host CO_Capt_Sulek says:
Telarus: Well done.  We have had the perfect reaction.  Now if the XO can just Thorn to fly his true colors.

Host David_Thorn says:
@ ::Smiles at the Elleb & Skree:: XO: Once again, just your word. No proof. Last time I checked, Starfleet personnel did not murder children ... as I once was.

CSO_Lt_Kraight says:
:: begins plotting yet another micro jump, this one to the L2 point trailing Gamleasia IV-A ::

CMO_Munro says:
::picks up a small device:: FCO: This should help with the pain.

XO_Cmdr_Pangborn says:
@Thorn; Yes, and the proof I Do have you don't want the delegates to see now do you? ::gestures to the crowd::

CTO_LtJG_Telarus says:
OPS: I shot her with a Stun pulse instead of a regular stunning phaser...it's an older model that what we have to throw off the delegation that there is no Starfleet presence what so ever. Let's just say she will really want to kill me when she wakes up.

Host CO_Capt_Sulek says:
Kraight: You might also wish to consider using our original site.  It is also likely that they will not scan there immediately a second time.

CNS_Lt_Ris`Mor says:
::narrows eyes.. wonder what corners are being backed into::

XO_Cmdr_Pangborn says:
@Thorn: I will need a secure terminal. Alone.

CTO_LtJG_Telarus says:
CO: Thank you sir, I hope he can.

OPS_Ens_Cherry says:
CTO:  I don't envy you Sir.  ::smiles slightly::

Host David_Thorn says:
ACTION: Suddenly a familiar voice calls out from behind the XO ... "Personally, I wouldn't trust a Starfleet insurgent with a terminal ... alone."

CSO_Lt_Kraight says:
CO: Understood, sir. In this situation, multiple options can only work to our advantage.

Host David_Thorn says:
ACTION: All the delegates turn to see a man having entered. Thorn smiles. Craven looks surprised.

CMO_Munro says:
FCO: Listen, they need you on the bridge can you make it?

OPS_Ens_Cherry says:
::runs the voice through their database in hopes of determining who it is::

Host David_Thorn says:
<Mathar Raythan> @ ::Stands at the entrance to the room:: ALL: May I present Commander Ben Pangborn of the U.S.S. Quirinus.

OPS_Ens_Cherry says:
::gasps::

FCO_Ens_Morgan says:
::eyes the CMO:: CMO: Must...you...talk...so...loud?

Host David_Thorn says:
ACTION: Some laughter from the crowd ... more murmuring ...

OPS_Ens_Cherry says:
::turns around and looks at the CO in panic::

CTO_LtJG_Telarus says:
::hears the comm:: CO: Sir...

Host David_Thorn says:
<Mathar Raythan> @ ::Walks further in:: ALL: The Ferengi killed, I believe, was supposed to replace one of our own ... she wasn't the same person. And I'm sure you all know how we feel about the Ferengi themselves. As for the "attacker," I'm sure he is just another Starfleet officer too.

CNS_Lt_Ris`Mor says:
::hears the voice.. notices the chill across the bridge as backs tense up on the officers facing away from her::

CSO_Lt_Kraight says:
CO; It seems that the Commander has been unmasked.

CMO_Munro says:
::Raises an eyebrow than leaves the room:: *Sulek*: Captain I don't think the FCO is going to be up there any time soon she doesn't feel very well.

XO_Cmdr_Pangborn says:
@Mathar: How good of you to join us. And how could you have known of my undercover Maquis status, when the orders were given so long ago

CTO_LtJG_Telarus says:
::locks onto the XO:: CO: Sir I have a lock but I would hold off on Transport...He might be able to "weasel" his way out of this one.

Host CO_Capt_Sulek says:
Kraight: Patience.

Host David_Thorn says:
<Mathar Raythan> @ ::Walks over to the XO:: ALL: I'm sure he's wired too. ::Speaks louder so the XO's comm. can pick up on it:: Captain Sulek, if you can hear me, this subterfuge is not needed. Show yourself and make your point!

CSO_Lt_Kraight says:
CO: This begins to look extraordinarily bad...

Host CO_Capt_Sulek says:
*Munro* Understood do what you can.

CMO_Munro says:
*Capt* Eye, sir.

XO_Cmdr_Pangborn says:
@ ::looks bored:: Mathar, you bore me. You were an oaf as a Starfleet officer on the Quirinus, and an even worse storm agent

CNS_Lt_Ris`Mor says:
::stands in silence and waits to see what decisions are made::

Host David_Thorn says:
<Mathar Raythan> @ XO: And I seem to remember you being a better actor. You certainly were five minutes ago. "Oaf?"

Host CO_Capt_Sulek says:
::stands::

OPS_Ens_Cherry says:
::prays the CO beams Pangborn back right this instant::

CMO_Munro says:
::Goes back into the room then prepares another hypo::

CTO_LtJG_Telarus says:
*Crewman Reid*: Have Delta Team ready for a mission I am uploading mission SITREF now, you are on Standby Green.

XO_Cmdr_Pangborn says:
@ Mathar: How could  you be so stupid anyway? All: I offer more proof of incompetence. Storm was unaware of my presence on the Quirinus

Host CO_Capt_Sulek says:
Cherry: No response is to be given.

CTO_LtJG_Telarus says:
<Crewman Reid> *CTO*: Understood Lt.

Host David_Thorn says:
ACTION: A Gamleasian speaks up - "You're saying you’re an undercover Maquis agent?"

CNS_Lt_Ris`Mor says:
::stands up straight and watches.. letting her arms fall back to her sides.. ::

Host CO_Capt_Sulek says:
CNS: Do you think that he can convince enough delegates that he is a spy given what you have read of Storm tactics?

XO_Cmdr_Pangborn says:
@ All: Alas. The Maquis is no more. But I continue my mission - for personal gain of course :;smiles::

CNS_Lt_Ris`Mor says:
CO: i am uncertain of his abilities to.. bluff.. but given the circumstances at this given moment.. no

Host David_Thorn says:
ACTION: The Gamleasian who was going to bring up the point of the Maquis being destroyed sits back thoughtfully ... acknowledging the XO's clever response.

CMO_Munro says:
::Gives the FCO another hypo hoping that her hearing will return to normal.::

XO_Cmdr_Pangborn says:
@Thorn: You still don't seem ready to view my proof

CNS_Lt_Ris`Mor says:
CO: I believe it unwise to risk his life giving an option.. but that is not my call to make.. but then again.. he seems to be doing well.. but how long he can out flatter your former counselor.. maybe his only.. how you say.. life line

OPS_Ens_Cherry says:
::sits and listens trying to keep her anxiety in check::

Host David_Thorn says:
@ XO: Well, if you're so clever enough to fool Starfleet, and fool everyone, what makes us really want you to show some holographically created "evidence" of yours?

FCO_Ens_Morgan says:
::all she wants to do is go to sleep....and when she gets up, beat the CTO to a pulp with his own phaser.::

Host CO_Capt_Sulek says:
::moves to the back of the bridge as he listens::

XO_Cmdr_Pangborn says:
@All: And the Mighty Thorn is afraid of the truth. I'm certain there are delegates present who have the technology for me to use. ::shakes head:: The mighty Thorn afraid

CNS_Lt_Ris`Mor says:
::walks over behind the OPS officer and inclines one ear to the CO's foot steps as she paces a bit::

CSO_Lt_Kraight says:
CO: Maintaining transporter lock on Commander Pangborn, sir...

OPS_Ens_Cherry says:
::sees some dander float by and sneezes again::

Host David_Thorn says:
<Deborah Craven> @ ::Shrugs at Thorn::

Host David_Thorn says:
<Mathar Raythan> @ ::Stares daggers at the XO::

XO_Cmdr_Pangborn says:
@All: Any volunteers to let me use a secure channel? Anyone? Just raise your hand now.

CNS_Lt_Ris`Mor says:
::wonders what could make a man betray his people to a group of terrorist::

Host CO_Capt_Sulek says:
Kraight: If need be, I will beam down and take action to save the XO.  As soon as I do be prepared for the order that follows.

CSO_Lt_Kraight says:
CO: Understood, sir.

Host David_Thorn says:
ACTION: "Oh oh oh, I will! I will!" one of the short jolly Helaxians rushes forward.

Host David_Thorn says:
<Deborah Craven> @ Oh god ... ::She murmurs and shakes her head::

Host David_Thorn says:
@ ::Says nothing and remains watching:: Well Mr. Pangborn, you have your opportunity ...

XO_Cmdr_Pangborn says:
@Helaxian: Just put it over in that corner. I will need to access it alone

Host David_Thorn says:
<Helaxian> @ ::Turns around, and returns to his fellows ... they seemingly pull a mini-PADD out of nowhere, and toss it over to the XO::

CTO_LtJG_Telarus says:
::sends a message closest to the CMO:: *CMO* Sweetie meet me as soon as you get the FCO stable in my office.

Host CO_Capt_Sulek says:
Ris'Mor: I may need you to go with me as my comrade.  Since Thorn does not know you, he will be more easily swayed if action to save the XO is required.

XO_Cmdr_Pangborn says:
@:;caches it in mid-air:: Helaxian: Thanks

CNS_Lt_Ris`Mor says:
::looks at the CO:: CO: are you certain you wish.. my presence?

OPS_Ens_Cherry says:
*CMO*:  When things are quiet down there, could you bring me up that antihistamine?

XO_Cmdr_Pangborn says:
@:;contacts the Quirinus on a secure channel to the command center, which will be the captain and second, requesting database access to all of the atrocities the storm has committed::

FCO_Ens_Morgan says:
::falls asleep::

Host CO_Capt_Sulek says:
Ris'Mor: I may need you to read the reactions of Thorn and his command staff.

CMO_Munro says:
::Sees the message then confirms:: *CTO* okay.

CNS_Lt_Ris`Mor says:
CO: I.. am not a betazoid.. I'm Caitian.. ::looks puzzled by the request:: but if you wish..

CTO_LtJG_Telarus says:
CO: Captain excuse me a second I need to get this off from my face and also head down to my office I need to prep a team just incase we need an offense against Thorn and the STORM.

Host CO_Capt_Sulek says:
Ris'Mor: You are a trained counselor.

CMO_Munro says:
::returns to the FCO::

Host CO_Capt_Sulek says:
Computer: Allow XO's access.

CNS_Lt_Ris`Mor says:
CO: yes sir..

Host CO_Capt_Sulek says:
Telarus: Understood.

CMO_Munro says:
:: sees the FCO sleeping and decides to leave her alone::

CTO_LtJG_Telarus says:
CO: Thank you sir.

XO_Cmdr_Pangborn says:
@::downloads a copy of all the atrocities committed by storm, sends a message to the captain to wipe all command codes an vital information immediately after he severs contact:: All I Have the proof here. I've wiped all of the codes of course...but we have a visual record here of the atrocities available for viewing

Host CO_Capt_Sulek says:
Computer: Clear all trace of access command codes for the XO and initialize his secondary codes.

Host CO_Capt_Sulek says:
Computer: Authorization Sulek alpha 1 alpha

OPS_Ens_Cherry says:
::head is so stuffed up she can hardly hear::

CMO_Munro says:
::Sneaks out of sickbay and up to the CTO's office::

CTO_LtJG_Telarus says:
::walks into TL:: TL: Security Office.

Host David_Thorn says:
ACTION: Images of the Storm's first appearance five years ago appear on all screens ... the Starfleet betrayals ... the Seleya trashing the Scimitar ... the Griffon being destroyed ... soon followed by images of the destruction on Gelia Prime ... and Al-Jihj.

CTO_LtJG_Telarus says:
*CMO*: If you stop by my office...::makes it sound like official business but really personal:: bring a kit to take this off my face.

Host David_Thorn says:
ACTION: There is silence, then much more murmuring in the hall ... Craven looks panicked ... Raythan shocked ... Thorn looks as calm and happy as before ...
