Host XO_VanSickle says:
CTO: Selan, anything happening around here?

CMO_Garta says:
Supok: So, this is the new schedule.  You will be in charge of Beta shift.  Just don't be surprised if I call you in early on occasion.

CMO_Garta says:
*TO* I will be down as soon as I finish my meeting Ens.

TO_Nmbarri says:
*CMO* Thank you doctor.

CMO_Garta says:
<Supok> CMO: Aye Sir.  I will be prepared for all emergencies.

Host CTO_Selan says:
XO: No, sir. Everything seems clear and calm ...

Host XO_VanSickle says:
CTO: That's what worries me.

AFCO_Flyer says:

::notices the dashboard trinket:: AFCO: Mr. Flyer, I hope you would remove that before the regular FCO returns.

AFCO_Flyer says:
XO:  Yes sir!

Host XO_VanSickle says:
AFCO: Besides, it's against regulations to have hula girls or bobble head dolls on the bridge.

CMO_Garta says:
::exits the TL and heads for the Security Office::

CEO_AQilla_Horn says:
::grins at the comment::

Host CTO_Selan says:
<OPS Franklin> XO & CO: Sirs, I'm picking up a distress call.

AFCO_Flyer says:

Host XO_VanSickle says:
OPS: From where, Mr. Franklin?

Host CTO_Selan says:
<OPS Franklin> ::Taps some buttons:: XO: Klingon border itself, sir. Two light-years from here.

CEO_AQilla_Horn says:

Host XO_VanSickle says:
CTO: Do you have that position on sensors?

CMO_Garta says:
::hits the chime on the office door::

Host CTO_Selan says:

Host XO_VanSickle says:
OPS: Can you clear up any interference from that transmission?

CMO_Garta says:
::enters the office to find the TO and a table on the floor:: TO: Am I interrupting something?

CNS_Zach_Bauer says:
::scribbles out fast message to be sent to Nmbarri's personal message file "How close are you to deciding on a time for our unfinished business?"::

TO_Nmbarri says:
CMO: Hello, doctor.  I know this looks terrible, but please, come in and sit down.

Host CTO_Selan says:
XO: I've confirmed its location, sir. There also seems to be an ion storm nearby, although I cannot confirm if it passed near it ...

AFCO_Flyer says:
:: plots course waiting for go ahead ::

TO_Nmbarri says:
::hurries to pick up the mess::

Host XO_VanSickle says:
CTO: What kind of ship is there?

Host CTO_Selan says:
XO: Klingon Freighter, D-4 Class sir.

CEO_AQilla_Horn says:
XO:  I'll have repair crews standing by in case we need to assist the freighter.

Host XO_VanSickle says:
CO: I suggest we go there to help.

TO_Nmbarri says:
CMO: Can i offer you some Jumja tea, or a lemon-raspberry stick? ::Cringes at what he just said::

Host CO_TPaula says:
CTO: Notify the freighter that we are on our way to assist.

Host XO_VanSickle says:
CTO: Is there any other threat in the area?

Host CTO_Selan says:
XO: Other than the ion storm, no. CO: Aye, ma'am. ::Sends a response to the freighter ... but it does not respond::

CEO_AQilla_Horn says:
::puts her teams on stand-by for an away mission if needed::

CMO_Garta says:
::stares at the TO with a look screaming "What in the Universe is wrong with you?"::

Host CO_TPaula says:
FCO: Lay in a course, warp 8.

AFCO_Flyer says:
CO:  course plotted, warp 8, aye, sir

CNS_Zach_Bauer says:
::Seeing on his schedule no appointments foe 3 hours decides to make a guest appearance on the bridge a place which he has been avoiding as of late::

::walks to the replicator and orders some lemon tea:

CMO_Garta says:
*XO* Garta here.

Host CTO_Selan says:
<Klingon CO> @ ::Growls:: This is not what we need right now ... ::Responds in Klingon:: ALL: I thought there was not supposed to be any Federation starships in this area?

CNS_Zach_Bauer says:

CEO_AQilla_Horn says:
XO:  Sir, engineering teams are standing by.

TO_Nmbarri says:
::picks up the tea and slowly walks back to the doctor and hands it to her::

Host XO_VanSickle says:
*CMO* Doc, we're heading into Klingon territory to assist a Klingon freighter.  Prepare sickbay for any injuries.

CMO_Garta says:
::nods with a smile as she takes the tea from Nmbarri::

Host CTO_Selan says:
ACTION: The Scorpius is en route to the Klingon  freighter at high warp.

TO_Nmbarri says:
::hears the XO's orders, his heart sinks::

AFCO_Flyer says:
CO:  ETA to the freighter is 2 minutes, at warp 8

CNS_Zach_Bauer says:
::Arrives at destination enters bridge and takes his place::

Host CO_TPaula says:
FCO: Acknowledged.

CMO_Garta says:
*XO* Sickbay was prepared hours ago sir.  Just contact me when the injured are on their way.

Host CTO_Selan says:
<Klingon CTO> @ Klingon CO: They are definitely en route here, sir.

Host CO_TPaula says:
CTO: What data on sensors?

Host XO_VanSickle says:
*CMO* Acknowledged, bridge out.

Host CTO_Selan says:
CO: So far just the freighter and the ion storm. I cannot determine the freighter's status from here. Suggest bringing the ship to yellow alert.

CMO_Garta says:
*XO* Cmdr. please make certain all weapons are discharged on any emergency beamouts?  I don't want a repeat of last time.

TO_Nmbarri says:
::Hears the CMO's response and feels joy::

Host CO_TPaula says:
FCO: Bring us to a stop 10 km away or so.

Host XO_VanSickle says:
CTO: Selan, the doctor wants us to make sure any weaponry beamed over are inactive before materialization.

Host CTO_Selan says:
XO: Will do, sir.

AFCO_Flyer says:
CO:  Aye, sir

TO_Nmbarri says:
CMO: Doctor, i asked you here for a.....personal reason.

Host CTO_Selan says:
*TO* Mr. Nmbarri, have security teams prepared for any arriving Klingons. Also prepare a team to board the freighter if necessary.

Host CTO_Selan says:
ACTION: The Scorpius drops out of warp just before the freighter.

CEO_AQilla_Horn says:
XO:  Commander, I'd like to lead any repair teams we send to the freighter ... with you permission.

Host CTO_Selan says:
::Begins scanning the freighter::

TO_Nmbarri says:
::growls slightly:: *CTO* Aye Sir.

AFCO_Flyer says:
CO:  all stop, 10 Km from the freighter

Host CTO_Selan says:
<Klingon OPS> @ ::Looks up at the Ambassador Class Starship on their viewscreen. Curses in Klingon::

Host XO_VanSickle says:
CO: Should we have AQilla lead the teams?

Host CO_TPaula says:
::looks at CTO for sensor data::

TO_Nmbarri says:
CMO: Give me a moment please, I must make sure my security teams are ready.

Host CTO_Selan says:
CO: They are definitely damaged, ma'am. But I cannot determine if it was from the ion storm ...

Host CO_TPaula says:
XO: If we send repair teams, that sounds good.

CMO_Garta says:
TO: Certainly. ::wonders what he means by "personal"::

Host XO_VanSickle says:
CO: Aye, ma'am.  CEO: Permission granted.

Host CO_TPaula says:
CTO: Try to contact them.  There are life signs?

CEO_AQilla_Horn says:
::overhears and nods::

TO_Nmbarri says:
::Contacts security teams, making sure they are ready::

AFCO_Flyer says:
:: monitors holding, keeping the ship steady at 10 km ::

Host CTO_Selan says:
<Klingon CO> @ ::Stands up, mumbling:: Perfect.

CEO_AQilla_Horn says:
XO:  Thank you, Sir.

Host CTO_Selan says:
CO: Yes, ma'am. Seventy four Klingons ... one Cardassian.

Host XO_VanSickle says:
CTO: You mean it could be weapons fire?

TO_Nmbarri says:
::sets up a boarding party in case it is needed::

Host XO_VanSickle says:
CTO: Cardassian?

CEO_AQilla_Horn says:
::blinks:: CTO:  A Cardassian?

Host CTO_Selan says:
XO: It could be, sir. COM: Klingon Freighter: Klingon Freighter, do you request assistance?

TO_Nmbarri says:
::returns to the CMO::

CNS_Zach_Bauer says:
::Feeling invisible CNS leaves the bridge::

Host XO_VanSickle says:
CTO: What are the biosigns on that Cardassian?

Host CTO_Selan says:
<Klingon CO> @ COM: Scorpius: Federation vessel, we are no longer in need for assistance ... thank you for your consideration, however. Good day.

Host CTO_Selan says:
XO: Its alive sir.

TO_Nmbarri says:
CMO: Ok, Doctor, this isn’t an easy thing for me to do, but I must reveal something to you.

Host XO_VanSickle says:
CTO: Does it match anyone we know?

CEO_AQilla_Horn says:
::gets a feeling that ship is hiding something::

Host CTO_Selan says:
XO: Can't tell, sir.

AFCO_Flyer says:
:: raises an eyebrow upon hearing the Klingon vessel ::

Host CTO_Selan says:
<Klingon CO> @ ::Paces, waiting for the SF vessel's response::

Host XO_VanSickle says:
CO: Ma'am, from that response, and the obvious damage, they may be hiding something.

Host CTO_Selan says:
<Klingon CTO> @ ::Thinks their entire operation may be blown because of this::

TO_Nmbarri says:
::sits down, its uncomfortable looking down at someone when you are so tall::

CMO_Garta says:
TO: You look uncomfortable Mr. Nmbarri.  Perhaps you should breath for a moment first.

Host CTO_Selan says:
CO: I really suggest we go to yellow alert, ma'am.

Host CO_TPaula says:
CTO: Do your readings confirm their report of their status?

TO_Nmbarri says:
CMO: If I stop to breath, I will lose my nerve.

CNS_Zach_Bauer says:
::Goes to an available holodeck :: COMPUTER: run Bauer1

Host CTO_Selan says:
CO: If they're ready to go anywhere or do anything, I certainly cannot tell so, ma'am.

Host XO_VanSickle says:
CO: I concur on yellow alert.

CEO_AQilla_Horn says:
CO:  I agree with Selan ... yellow alert would be prudent.

AFCO_Flyer says:
:: continues to monitor helm, holding steady at 10 km ::

Host CTO_Selan says:
<Klingon OPS> @ Klingon CO: Maybe they're going to leave?

Host CO_TPaula says:
XO: If the vessel is not in distress we have no reason to be here.

Host CTO_Selan says:
<Klingon CO> @ ::Gestures at the screen:: OPS: Do you see them leaving? No!

Host CO_TPaula says:
FCO: Resume our patrol course.

AFCO_Flyer says:
CO:  Aye sir, course plotted, speed?

Host XO_VanSickle says:
CO: Then how do you explain the distress call earlier?

TO_Nmbarri says:
CMO: Ever since the first time I woke up in sickbay, and looked into your eyes, i have felt, well, strong feelings for you.

CNS_Zach_Bauer says:
<COMPUTER>: Bauer1 running. Enter when ready

Host CTO_Selan says:
ACTION: Suddenly, three green torpedoes appear seemingly from nowhere and strike the Scorpius' deflector dish. The ship shakes violently, the lights flicker, and sensors go entirely offline.

Host CTO_Selan says:
::Holds onto his console:: ALL: We've lost sensors!

Host XO_VanSickle says:
::rocks from the explosions::

Host CO_TPaula says:
XO: Possibly an underestimation of their engineering abilities.

Host CTO_Selan says:
<Klingon CO> @ ::Stands up as the torpedoes lance out:: Where did they come fro --

CEO_AQilla_Horn says:
CTO:  On it!!!

CMO_Garta says:
TO: I see.. ::falls out of her chair as the ship rocks::

TO_Nmbarri says:
::feels the ship shake and things oh no, not now::

Host CTO_Selan says:
ACTION: On the Klingon Bridge, several men and women beam in ... they are of various races.

CNS_Zach_Bauer says:
::Bangs into holodeck doorway but doesn’t pay it much attention::

Host XO_VanSickle says:
CTO: Can you hail the Klingons?

Host CTO_Selan says:
XO: Trying sir. ::Opens hailing channel::

CEO_AQilla_Horn says:
::heads for sensor control to effect repairs::

TO_Nmbarri says:
::helps the doctor back to her seat, making sure she is ok::

Host CTO_Selan says:
ACTION: As the channel opens, the crew can hear weapons blasts and screams from the Freighter ...

Host CTO_Selan says:
::Brings the ship to red alert, but annoyed at the lack of sensors ... they're blind as a bat::

Host XO_VanSickle says:
CO: They're under attack!

TO_Nmbarri says:
CMO: are you ok?

CEO_AQilla_Horn says:
::arrives at sensor control::

CMO_Garta says:
TO: I'm fine.  Thanks.

TO_Nmbarri says:
::summons his nerve to continue::

CMO_Garta says:
::raises her hand to pause their conversation for a moment::

CNS_Zach_Bauer says:
::Takes a casual stroll along the beach shore line trying to clear his head::

Host CTO_Selan says:
ACTION: On the Freighter's bridge, the weapons blasts end ... and from the smoke of the attack, a man emerges and shuts down the comm. to the Scorpius. Dramatically, we see that it is K'Rass.

CMO_Garta says:
*Houlihan* Everything under control up there?

Host CTO_Selan says:
<K'Rass> @ ALL: Find anything valuable ... kill those who are still alive ... and get him.

AFCO_Flyer says:
:: looks at the screen dumbfounded... ::

CEO_AQilla_Horn says:
::looks around at the damaged section::  *XO*:  Commander, that blast took out the entire sensor array.  It's going to take some time to get this fixed ...

Host CTO_Selan says:
<The Pirates> @ K'Rass: Aye, sir.

CMO_Garta says:
<Houlihan> *CMO* Supok is here.  Only minor injuries reported.  Everything is clear right now.

Host XO_VanSickle says:
*CEO* Do we have auxiliaries?

Host CTO_Selan says:
<The Pirates> @ ::Move out through the Freighter, killing those they encounter ... trying to find their intended target::

CMO_Garta says:
::closes the comm and looks back at Nmbarri:: TO: Okay..

CEO_AQilla_Horn says:
*XO*:  Negative.    They knew exactly how to blind us ...

Host XO_VanSickle says:
CTO: Can we patch into the freighter again?

Host CTO_Selan says:
XO/CO: Sir, ma'am, we're getting reports of a Klingon Vor'Cha Class Cruiser being seen outside ...

Host CTO_Selan says:
XO: No, sir.

AFCO_Flyer says:
:: checking helm control... ::

CEO_AQilla_Horn says:
::gets out her tools and begins repairing the damage::

Host CTO_Selan says:
<K'Rass> @ ::Looks around the bridge as a teenaged Orion female approaches::

TO_Nmbarri says:
CMO: I was saying, I have been feeling some rather strong feelings where you are concerned.

Host CTO_Selan says:
<Bev> @ K'Rass: Did you have to do that?

Host XO_VanSickle says:
CTO: Would it be prudent in your opinion to either beam or shuttle over there?

CMO_Garta says:
TO: Since you woke up in Sickbay?

Host CTO_Selan says:
<K'Rass> @ ::Shoots Bev a look:: Bev: Quiet, or we'll toss you out as easily as we did your sister Asia ...

TO_Nmbarri says:
CMO: Yes, since the first time you came on board, when I was injured.

Host CTO_Selan says:
XO: We can't beam w/o sensors. Shuttles would be prudent, but dangerous if the other Klingon ship opens fire ... that is if it isn't the Pirates.

TO_Nmbarri says:
CMO: I thought that I was looking into the eyes of an angel from Stovocor.

CMO_Garta says:
TO: Mr. Nmbarri, have you thought that perhaps your feeling are because I saved your life?

Host CTO_Selan says:
ACTION: Some Pirates return to the Freighter bridge helping a person along ...

Host CTO_Selan says:
<Pirate One> @ K'Rass: We have him sir.

TO_Nmbarri says:
CMO: I gave that some thought, but as time goes on, the feelings have only intensified.

Host XO_VanSickle says:
CTO: That might be the chance we have to take.  Prepare to board and rescue them.  FCO: You're with us.  *CMO/TO* Report to shuttle bay 1.

CMO_Garta says:
::grins not realizing Bajorans were allowed in Stovokor::

Host CO_TPaula says:
CTO: We could keep a shuttle within our shields and use its sensors.

CEO_AQilla_Horn says:
::curses as she pulls out a charred isolinear chip ... orders her assistants to replicate more::

CNS_Zach_Bauer says:
::Sits on beach and stares into the ocean::

CMO_Garta says:
*XO* Aye sir.

TO_Nmbarri says:
*XO* On my way sir.

Host CTO_Selan says:

TO_Nmbarri says:
CMO: Yes, I am quite certain of my feelings, I...I.....

Host XO_VanSickle says:

Host CTO_Selan says:
<OPS Franklin> CO: Yes, ma'am, there is a Vor'Cha Class Cruiser out there. It matches the signature of the Pirates' ship ...

Host CTO_Selan says:
ACTION: The Shuttle launches from the Scorpius.

TO_Nmbarri says:
%XO: what are our orders, Sir?

Host CTO_Selan says:

Host XO_VanSickle says:
%CTO: K'Rass and Sur?

Host CTO_Selan says:
% XO: That is their ship, sir! I would recognize it anywhere!

Host XO_VanSickle says:
%CMO: Pirate attack by our old friends.

CEO_AQilla_Horn says:
::replaces yet another component ... ::

Host CO_TPaula says:
::surprised::

CMO_Garta says:
%::Is in the mood to shoot a Cardassian:: XO: Aye sir.

Host XO_VanSickle says:
%COMM: CO: Captain?

Host CTO_Selan says:
ACTION: Meanwhile, the Vor'Cha comes about, and then cloaks and moves away at high speeds.

Host CTO_Selan says:
<OPS Franklin> COM: XO: Sir, the Captain has been taken!!!

Host CTO_Selan says:
% ::Watches the Vor'Cha cloak, then hears about the CO:: No ...

Host XO_VanSickle says:
%COMM: OPS: What?

Host CTO_Selan says:
<OPS Franklin> COM: XO: A Klingon beamed through our shields and grabbed her!

AFCO_Flyer says:
%:: ears perk ::

CMO_Garta says:
%::looks up at Van Sickle when she hears the Comm::

Host XO_VanSickle says:
%FCO: Turn around!  We have to get back on the ship!

Host CTO_Selan says:
ACTION: The CO finds herself in the darkened transporter room of the Vor'Cha class ship, K'rass throws her to the ground hard.

CMO_Garta says:
%TO: K’Rass?

Host CTO_Selan says:
<K'Rass> # ::Spits at the CO::

AFCO_Flyer says:
%XO:  Aye sir    :: enters return sequence ::

Host CTO_Selan says:
% ::Fearful for the CO's safety ... can't bear to lose another friend, not like this::

TO_Nmbarri says:
%::Looks at the CMO::

Host XO_VanSickle says:
%CTO: Dammit!  I let my captain's guard down!

Host CTO_Selan says:
ACTION: The Shuttle comes about, and moves back to the Scorpius.

CEO_AQilla_Horn says:
::replaces the last component and watches the LRS terminal come back on-line::

AFCO_Flyer says:
%:: fingers fly over console ::

TO_Nmbarri says:
%CMO: K'Rass is a Klingon pirate, quite dangerous.

Host CO_TPaula says:
# Mph!  ::glances up at K'rass and then around the room... can't see well in the dark::

CNS_Zach_Bauer says:
::Removes his uniform and enters water and begins to swim out to sea::

CEO_AQilla_Horn says:
::leaves her assistants to complete repairs and heads back to the bridge::

CMO_Garta says:
%TO: He has technology to beam through our shields?

Host CTO_Selan says:
<K'Rass> # CO: You're lucky he wanted you alive, p'tak ...

Host XO_VanSickle says:
%COMM: CEO: Do we have sensors?

TO_Nmbarri says:
%CMO: I guess nobody is really sure what technology he has developed, or stolen.

CEO_AQilla_Horn says:
COMM: XO:  Yes, Sir.  

Host CO_TPaula says:
# ::raises an eyebrow at K'rass and moves to stand::

Host CO_TPaula says:
#K'rass: I'm flattered you hate me that much.

Host XO_VanSickle says:
%COMM: CEO: Try to find any ion trails by K'Rass' ship!

CMO_Garta says:
%TO: Why hasn't somebody killed this jerk?

Host CTO_Selan says:
ACTION: A familiar voice speaks out ... "And are you flattered to be in my presence again, T'Paula?"

TO_Nmbarri says:
%CMO: Many have tried, all have failed so far.

Host XO_VanSickle says:
%CMO: Because we haven't the chance to... yet.

Host CTO_Selan says:
% ::Lost in thought::

Host CTO_Selan says:
ACTION:  The shuttle docks with the Scorpius.

AFCO_Flyer says:
%XO: I can beam you directly to the bridge, sir...much quicker than waiting on the shuttle

CEO_AQilla_Horn says:
COMM: XO:  We only have short range sensors, Sir.  I'm on my way back to the bridge, now.  What's happened?

Host XO_VanSickle says:
%COMM: CEO: The captain's been kidnapped!

CNS_Zach_Bauer says:
::having made his way out to deeper waters::  COMPUTER: Remove safety protocols on Holodeck 2, please

Host XO_VanSickle says:
%FCO: No need, Mr. Flyer.  We need us all aboard before we can go.

CEO_AQilla_Horn says:
COMM: XO:  What!?!?  ::runs into TL:: Computer:  Bridge.

Host CO_TPaula says:
#::an interesting but irrelevant question::  voice: What do you want, Gul Sur?

CMO_Garta says:
%TO: My medical records tell almost nothing about him.  I would appreciate your help in informing my team what we are up against.  I want them more than prepared in case of a boarding party.

AFCO_Flyer says:
%:: nods ::

TO_Nmbarri says:
%CMO: Ok, I will do what i can.

Host CTO_Selan says:
ACTION: The man whom the Pirates rescued steps from the shadows, it is indeed Gul Sur. He bears several scars from previous beatings ... and he has a look of pure rage.

Host CTO_Selan says:
<Gul Sur>  # ::Back hands the CO hard, causing some blood to come  out::

Host CO_TPaula says:
#::staggers::

AFCO_Flyer says:
:: unbuckles and raises from her seat ::

TO_Nmbarri says:
::exits shuttle craft::

Host XO_VanSickle says:
All: Get to the bridge, on the double!  CTO: Selan, you'd better site-to-site there.

CEO_AQilla_Horn says:
::makes a bee-line for tactical and initiates sensor scans::

CMO_Garta says:
::exits shuttle craft::

TO_Nmbarri says:
CMO: I will need to go to my office now, but I will be down to talk to you later.

AFCO_Flyer says:
:: follows the XO and others ::

Host CTO_Selan says:
<Gul Sur> # CO: After the times that I had you and your pitiful crewmates saved ... after all I've done ... you BETRAYED me ... ::Kicks her in the stomach::

Host XO_VanSickle says:
::gets off the shuttle and runs to the nearest TL:: Computer: Bridge!

CMO_Garta says:
TO: Thank you. ::heads to sickbay::

Host CTO_Selan says:
::Nods solemnly, and site to site beams to the bridge. Upon arriving, he moves  to get the data available::

TO_Nmbarri says:
::Surprises the CMO with a kiss before she leaves, then turns and heads to his office::

Host XO_VanSickle says:
::TL stops at the bridge, FCO and I exit and head to stations::

Host CTO_Selan says:
XO: Sir, K'Rass used one of those dimensional transporters to get through our shields.

Host CO_TPaula says:
#Sur: Would you expect otherwise?

CEO_AQilla_Horn says:
::runs to SC1 and initiates scans::

TO_Nmbarri says:
::heart pounding, returns to his office::

AFCO_Flyer says:
:: quickly takes her place back at the helm ::

Host XO_VanSickle says:
CTO/CEO: Have we found K'Rass' ion trail?!

CMO_Garta says:
::stops long enough to wonder why a Klingon gave a Bajoran a Human kiss, then turns and leaves::

CEO_AQilla_Horn says:
XO:  Sir, I can detect it, but without LRS I can't tell you where they went.

TO_Nmbarri says:
*Security teams* All security officers, you are now on High alert status, man your stations, and be ready for anything.

Host CTO_Selan says:
<Gul Sur> # ::Prepares to strike again ... but refrains from doing so:: CO: I will have my revenge. K'Rass: Lock her away ... torture her if you want. Bev: Send the Scorpius a hail, tell them to meet us where it all began ...

Host CTO_Selan says:
<K'Rass> # ::Looks surprised:: Sur: Planning to trick them again, and get us some more valuables, sir? ::Smile::

CMO_Garta says:
::enters Sickbay and puts all staff on high alert status::

Host XO_VanSickle says:
CEO: Then we'll have to make like bloodhounds.  Keep those SRS trained on that trail and feed information continuously to the helm.  FCO: Mr. Flyer, follow that trail wherever it leads, only fast enough to keep the trail on sensors.

Host CTO_Selan says:
<Gul Sur>  # ::A look of pure rage and insanity briefly appears in his eye:: Something like that ... ::Turns and walks out of the room::

AFCO_Flyer says:
XO:  Aye, sir     :: punches in the last known direction of the ion trial ::

Host CTO_Selan says:
<Bev> # ::Shudders:: K'Rass: I ... uh ... don't like this. He sounds nuts ...

Host CTO_Selan says:
<K'Rass> # ::Growls at the short Orion girl:: Bev: Watch what you say, whelp, the Gul knows what he is doing ... now deliver that transmission!

AFCO_Flyer says:
:: keeps a shape eye on the sensors...following the ion trail ::

Host CTO_Selan says:
<K'Rass> # ::Turns and grabs the CO by her arm, and takes her out of the transporter room::

Host XO_VanSickle says:
OPS: Send the following to Starfleet -- Pirateers K'Rass and Gul Sur have kidnapped Capt. T'Paula.  We have begun pursuit.  As of this hour on Stardate 10111.3, I am acting CO until the captain's return.  Send priority one.

TO_Nmbarri says:
*Security team leaders* I want you to send teams to all major parts of the ship, including the bridge, engineering, and all transporter areas.  I want high security in place in case anyone else tries to beam on board.

Host CO_TPaula says:
#::was wondering how long he'd let her stand there watching for weaknesses::

Host CTO_Selan says:
::Remains silent at tactical ... the guilt settling in quickly::

CMO_Garta says:
Supok: You are in charge down here for the moment.  I'm going to the bridge.

CMO_Garta says:
<Supok> CMO: Aye sir.

CMO_Garta says:
::sets her med kit on a bio bed and exits sickbay::

AFCO_Flyer says:
:: plots course according, making necessary course adjustments along the ion trail ::

Host XO_VanSickle says:
::looks back at the CTO, seeing the guilt:: CTO: It's not your fault.  It's mine.  As exec, I'm supposed to safeguard the captain.  Stay sharp for whenever we catch up with K'Rass.

CMO_Garta says:
::enters TL::

TO_Nmbarri says:
::feels anger that his security teams allowed K'Rass to kidnap the captain, the teams should have been more than ready for that::

CMO_Garta says:
::starts to order it to the bridge then stops:: Computer: Locate CNS Bauer.

Host CTO_Selan says:
XO: Sir, I have the most experience with the Pirates. I should have seen this coming ...

Host XO_VanSickle says:
CTO: ...Then when we reach them, you and I will get our revenge on K'Rass and Sur.

CMO_Garta says:
<Computer> CNS Bauer is in the holodeck.

Host CTO_Selan says:
::An image of Shania appears in his mind ... and he wonders how far he will go t o get that revenge::

Host CTO_Selan says:
<OPS Franklin> XO: Sir, we're receiving a hail ...

Host XO_VanSickle says:
OPS: On screen!

CMO_Garta says:
Computer: Take me there.

TO_Nmbarri says:
*CTO* Sir, I have all security teams deployed around the ship, I accept responsibility for their failure to stop K'Rass.

CEO_AQilla_Horn says:
::turns around to watch the conversation::

Host CTO_Selan says:
ACTION: The young Orion girl named Bev appears on screen. "Crew of the U.S.S. Scorpius, our leader Gul Sur has been freed from the imprisonment you placed him in. In response, he has taken your CO, Captain T'Paula. He will kill her unless you meet us at the ... the uh ..."

AFCO_Flyer says:
:: keeps her eyes on the ion trial, feeling like a Terran bloodhound ::

Host CTO_Selan says:
ACTION: She remembers, "... the 'place where it all began.'"

Host CTO_Selan says:
*TO* Thank you, Nmbarri.

Host XO_VanSickle says:
COMM: Bev: Tell that bastard Sur he's going to have to be a lot more specific than that!

Host CTO_Selan says:
ACTION: The comm. cuts.

CMO_Garta says:
*CNS*  Zach, please answer.

Host XO_VanSickle says:
CTO: Where it all began?  What the hell does she mean?

Host CTO_Selan says:
::Contemplates it, then ... :: XO: I ... I think they mean ... where the Scorpius first encountered the Pirates.

Host XO_VanSickle says:
CTO: And that is...?

Host CTO_Selan says:
XO: One second ... ::Brings up the coordinates:: ... got it.

Host XO_VanSickle says:
CTO: Put it on screen.

Host CTO_Selan says:
::Transmits the coordinates to the FCO, and brings the location on screen::

CMO_Garta says:
*CNS*: Zach!  There's an emergency!  Answer me!

Host XO_VanSickle says:
OPS: Send the following hail...

AFCO_Flyer says:
:: enters the coordinates and prepares to engage on command ::

Host XO_VanSickle says:
OPS: Send to Sur: Message received and understood.  Name the time and place and Cmdr. Selan and I will meet with him and K'Rass... alone with no tricks.

Host CTO_Selan says:
<OPS Franklin> XO: Message sent, sir.

Host CTO_Selan says:
::Looks surprised::

CMO_Garta says:
Computer: Emergency override the holodeck doors, code Garta Alpha Gamma 7 7 1.

Host XO_VanSickle says:
FCO: Set course to those coordinates and engage, warp 8!

Host CTO_Selan says:
ACTION: She does so, and the Scorpius comes about and warps off ...
