<<<<<<<<<Continue Mission>>>>>>>>

XO_VanSickle says:
@::tries to get out of the clutches of Jisk::

FCO_Vince says:
::plotting a pursuit course::

CEO_AQilla says:
::on bridge at Eng station::

Jisk says:
@::points at Eric with a phaser set pretty high::

CO_TPaula says:
CSO: Any sign of that bird-of-prey?

XO_VanSickle says:
@Jisk: I don't believe you want to use that.

Jisk says:
@::eyes him:: XO: what makes you say that.. ::fires at his feet::

XO_VanSickle says:
@::pulls back his feet::

CSO_Shiar says:
CO: checking sir

XO_VanSickle says:
@Jisk: You must be toying with me.

Jisk says:
@XO: I know you don't care about me.. I don't know why I tired to be nice.. this is business ::fires at his again::

FCO_Vince says:
CO:  Pursuit course plotted, warp engine standing by

XO_VanSickle says:
@Jisk: Hey!

CO_TPaula says:
FCO: Let's go, then.

CSO_Shiar says:
CO: No sign although I do detect an ion trail

FCO_Vince says:
::goes to warp:: CO:  Aye Captain

Jisk says:
@::points it at his chest and eyes him:: XO: you understand.. ::stuns him::

CEO_AQilla says:
::monitors engines as we engage warp drive::

XO_VanSickle says:
@Jisk: Why... ::falls unconscious::

FCO_Vince says:
CO:  I'm following that trail

Jisk says:
@::shrugs and looks at him on the floor::

CO_TPaula says:
CSO: Keep an eye on the LRS.

Jisk says:
@::plops down in her seat and contacts her buyers.. informing them the cargo was lost.. changing course to Risa::

XO_VanSickle says:
@::in dreamland::

CSO_Shiar says:
CO: aye captain

Jisk says:
@::pokes at her console and grumbles:: XO: stupid human.. ::sighs and engages warp 7::

XO_VanSickle says:
@::in dream state, he sees a Vulcan come through the door to the bridge and pick him up::

XO_VanSickle says:
@::instead of Capt. T'Paula, he sees Cmdr. Mitchell of the Kootenai Station::

Jisk says:
@::bends down with a medical kit and looks at him.. pulling out a long needle::

Jisk says:
@XO: this might hurt... good thing your out.. ::unzips his jacket::

XO_VanSickle says:
@::in dream: "Valar!  How'd you find me?"::

FCO_Vince says:
CO:  If that's a standard scout BOP, we could easily take them, although we'd probably end up destroying the ship, and the XO as well

Jisk says:
@:: inserts the needle into his stomach and extracts a cellular sample with a complete set of DNA and pulls the needle out.. sealing the site with the medical kit and shrugs::

XO_VanSickle says:
@::in dream: hugs Valar::

XO_VanSickle says:
@::feels a prick::

CO_TPaula says:
FCO: That's not an option under consideration.

XO_VanSickle says:
@::stirs::

Jisk says:
@::looks at the sample cylinder and then at the XO:: XO: maybe this isn't a total loss..

XO_VanSickle says:
@::grabs Jisk's arm::

FCO_Vince says:
CO:  I agree, Captain

Jisk says:
@XO:let go.. ::grabs his neck:: 

XO_VanSickle says:
@::grabs Jisk's neck with other hand::

XO_VanSickle says:
@::and squeezes::

CSO_Shiar says:
CO: you could use the obvious plan

CO_TPaula says:
CSO: What plan is that?

Jisk says:
@::eyes him and drops the vial.. striking the XO in the jaw:: XO: I said .. let.. goohhck!

XO_VanSickle says:
@::hangs on, as punch didn't phase him::

CSO_Shiar says:
CO: take out their shields, beam people on board and rescue the XO

XO_VanSickle says:
@::flips Jisk onto her back::

Jisk says:
@::plants her foot on his chest and pushes them apart::

XO_VanSickle says:
@::flies into a chair::

XO_VanSickle says:
@::gets up and takes a defensive posture::

CEO_AQilla says:
CO:  Can we target a cloaked BOP?

Jisk says:
@:: sits up:: XO: your .. ::gasp:: making a mistake..

XO_VanSickle says:
@Jisk: And you didn't make one already???

CO_TPaula says:
CEO: Normally, no.

XO_VanSickle says:
@Jisk: Or shall I say three?

Jisk says:
@XO: I live this way.. I plotted a course to take you home.. but I can kill you here..

CEO_AQilla says:
CO:  So, we have to find a way to track & target a BOP that is cloaked.

XO_VanSickle says:
@Jisk: Home being your home or my home?

Jisk says:
@::narrows eyes:: XO: I don't have one

FCO_Vince says:
CEO:  Their shields would be down while cloaked

XO_VanSickle says:
@::lets down guard a little::

XO_VanSickle says:
@Jisk: Why?

FCO_Vince says:
CEO:  We might not even have to fire a shot if we can lock onto the XO's signal

CSO_Shiar says:
CO: in that case we could rescue him without firing a shot

Jisk says:
@XO: I have what I wanted.. ::glares:: I don't need you here to remind me of ... ::pauses and looks at him::

XO_VanSickle says:
@Jisk: Of what?

CO_TPaula says:
CSO: If we can find him and get a lock on him.

Jisk says:
@XO: forget it and sit down.. we will be close to your Risa soon enough

CEO_AQilla says:
CSO:  Can you pick up the Xo's sub dermal transponder

CSO_Shiar says:
CO: possibly

XO_VanSickle says:
@Jisk: Why go through all this trouble?

Jisk says:
@XO: it's no concern of yours

XO_VanSickle says:
@Jisk: You made it my concern when you kidnapped me.

Jisk says:
@XO: for what I needed.. I didn't need you alive

CO_TPaula says:
CSO: The first thing, in any case, is to find him.

XO_VanSickle says:
@Jisk: You need companionship or just someone's DNA?

Jisk says:
@XO: I could have taken any human.. but I went to the trouble of taking you

XO_VanSickle says:
@Jisk: But why me?

Jisk says:
@XO: it's a pity... I was foolish to have feeling for you Human..

CO_TPaula says:
CSO: Can you tell how recently this ion trail was left?

Jisk says:
@XO: can you tell me why you love the ones you do?

XO_VanSickle says:
@Jisk: That is hard to explain.

Jisk says:
@XO: perhaps that foolish desire you human's identify as love.. or maybe it nothing more than greed

XO_VanSickle says:
@Jisk: I wouldn't call it greed.

Jisk says:
@XO: at any rate.. ::points at the chair:: sit..

XO_VanSickle says:
@::has a seat::

CO_TPaula says:
CSO: What general area is it in?

Jisk says:
@::shrugs and leans on a console looking at the floor:: XO: go home.. Human

XO_VanSickle says:
@Jisk: Jisk?

Jisk says:
@::glares at him:: XO: you heard me leave! take the shuttle and go!

XO_VanSickle says:
@Jisk: Do you have my comm badge?

Jisk says:
@XO: no.. it's with the starbase.. now get off my ship!!

XO_VanSickle says:
@Jisk: Aye, ma'am.  ::turns and goes to the shuttle craft::

CSO_Shiar says:
CO: I’ll patch the info to the FCO

Jisk says:
@::taps on the console and fumes::

CO_TPaula says:
FCO: Alter our course as necessary.

XO_VanSickle says:
@::enters shuttle bay::

FCO_Vince says:
CO:  Understood

XO_VanSickle says:
@::goes to a shuttle and enters::

Jisk says:
@:fingers twitch at the idea of just sucking him into space::

FCO_Vince says:
::alters course by the data::

XO_VanSickle says:
@::turns on engines::

XO_VanSickle says:
@::finds the communications panel:: COM: Scorpius: VanSickle to Scorpius!

XO_VanSickle says:
@::engages thrusters::

Jisk says:
::opens the bay door and leaves the atmospheric force field up.. dropping out of warp.. detects the signal:: XO: Noo!\

XO_VanSickle says:
@::shuttle goes through the field::

Jisk says:
@::waits for the shuttle to get clear.. and punches warp 6 again::

XO_VanSickle says:
@COM: Scorpius: VanSickle to Scorpius.  This is Cmdr. Eric Van Sickle calling the USS Scorpius on secured Starfleet subspace channel.

CO_TPaula says:
COM: Van Sickle: This is the Scorpius, Commander.  Where are you?

XO_VanSickle says:
@::tracks the BoP::

Jisk says:
@::watches the shuttle vanish and fingers the tube of DNA with a grin::

XO_VanSickle says:
@COM: T'Paula: Captain!

XO_VanSickle says:
@COM: CO: I'm transmitting my coordinates and the course of the BoP.

FCO_Vince says:
::preparing to alter course::

XO_VanSickle says:
#COM: CO: Jisk has my DNA.

XO_VanSickle says:
#COM: CO: But she let me go.

CO_TPaula says:
COM: XO: That was all she wanted?

Jisk says:
@::alters course back to the unknown traders outpost to sale her find::

FCO_Vince says:
CSO:  Do we have the coordinates yet?

CO_TPaula says:
::thinks there were easier ways to get that::

XO_VanSickle says:
#COM: CO: Not initially.

XO_VanSickle says:
#COM: CO: She wanted ME initially and sell my DNA to an alien race.

CSO_Shiar says:
FCO:patching them through

FCO_Vince says:
CSO:  Acknowledged ::Sets new course and engages::

XO_VanSickle says:
#COM: CO: How long until your arrival?

CO_TPaula says:
FCO: What's our ETA?

FCO_Vince says:
CO:  Checking navigational sensors, stand by

XO_VanSickle says:
#::monitors Jisk's course::

XO_VanSickle says:
#::notices she's out of range now::

FCO_Vince says:
CO:  5 minutes, Captain

Jisk says:
@::does a loop de loop just cause and heads off again ..::

CO_TPaula says:
CEO: When we bring him aboard, have someone keep watch over his shuttle.  Just in case.

CEO_AQilla says:
CO:  Aye, Maam.  With your permission, I'll go down and run scans on the shuttle myself.

CO_TPaula says:
CEO: Very well.

CEO_AQilla says:
::Leaves Bridge and enters TL::  Computer:  Main shuttle bay

XO_VanSickle says:
#COM: CO: What is your course and I'll meet you half way?

CO_TPaula says:
FCO: Transmit our course to him.

FCO_Vince says:
CO:  Aye ::transmitting::

CEO_AQilla says:
::exits TL, enters shuttle bay and goes to controls::

XO_VanSickle says:
#::receives transmission and sets inverse course::

XO_VanSickle says:
#::engages warp 5::

FCO_Vince says:
::brings Scorpius out of warp::

XO_VanSickle says:
#COM: Scorpius: I have you on my short-range.

CEO_AQilla says:
::prepares tractor beam to lock onto shuttle:: *CO*:  I'm ready down here, Captain

XO_VanSickle says:
#::slows to 1/2 impulse and swings around to the shuttle bay doors::

CEO_AQilla says:
::opens shuttle bay doors::

XO_VanSickle says:
#::pilots the shuttle inside::

CO_TPaula says:
CSO: Can you find the bird-of-prey's ion trail?

XO_VanSickle says:
::lands on the deck and secures shuttle::

CEO_AQilla says:
::approaches shuttle with tri-corder in hand::

XO_VanSickle says:
*CEO* Is it safe for me to get out of this crate?

CEO_AQilla says:
*XO*: Yes, sir.  Shuttle bay is pressurized

XO_VanSickle says:
::opens hatch and exits to shuttle bay::

CEO_AQilla says:
::begins scanning the shuttle::

XO_VanSickle says:
CEO: Permission to come aboard?

CEO_AQilla says:
XO:  Permission granted, Sir.  Welcome home.

CO_TPaula says:
*XO*: Welcome aboard, Commander, I want you thoroughly checked over and scanned immediately.

CEO_AQilla says:
*CO*:  The shuttle is aboard, captain.  We can go to warp at any time.

XO_VanSickle says:
*CO* Thank you, captain.  I'm due to see the doctor anyway.

XO_VanSickle says:
CEO: I'll leave you to make sure this shuttle is safe.

FCO_Vince says:
CO:  What course Captain?

CEO_AQilla says:
XO:  Aye, Sir.

XO_VanSickle says:
::exits shuttle bay and heads to sickbay::

CO_TPaula says:
FCO: That depends.  ::watches the CSO work at the sci console::

FCO_Vince says:
::verifying ship's position::

CEO_AQilla says:
::notices two Engineers enter the shuttlebay::  Engineers:  I want every inch of this shuttle scanned.  If you find anything notify me immediately.

CSO_Shiar says:
CO: I've found the trail
