ACTION: The Scorpius drops out of warp at the specified location.

Host XO_VanSickle says:
::on bridge, in command chair, staring at the viewscreen::

CNS_Zach_Bauer says:
::Having learned of T’Paula’s kidnapping and crisis at hand I am in uniform and stationed on bridge as ordered::

Host CTO_Selan says:
::Turns from a private comm. at his console to look at the viewscreen, even more distraught than he was before::

CEO_AQilla_Horn says:
::in sensor control still repairing the LRS::

TO_Nmbarri says:
::in security office going over ways to increase security::

Host CTO_Selan says:
ACTION: Meanwhile, on the Vor'Cha Pirate ship at parts unknown, the somewhat tortured and bleeding Captain T'Paula is allowed a moment to rest by K'Rass.

Host CTO_Selan says:
::Using short range sensors:: XO: Nothing yet, sir.

TO_Nmbarri says:
*Security team leaders*: Team leaders, keep VERY alert, I will not stand for anymore incursions onto this ship, and if anyone else is kidnapped, you will deal with me.  Nmbarri out.

Host XO_VanSickle says:
*CEO* Where are the d--- long-range sensors?

Host CTO_Selan says:
<K'Rass> @ ::Cleans off his blade which is somewhat greener than usual, he walks away from the CO:: CO: And how are you feeling, Captain?

CMO_Garta says:
::In Sickbay double checking all preparations::

AFCO-Flyer says:
:: sitting at the helm performing her duties ::

CEO_AQilla_Horn says:
*XO*:  Commander, the LRS were destroyed.  We're rebuilding them as fast as we can!

Host CO_TPaula says:
@::has been better but doesn't bother answering::

TO_Nmbarri says:
::decides to make the rounds to check on shipwide security::

CEO_AQilla_Horn says:
::goes back to work, slightly annoyed by the interruption::

TO_Nmbarri says:
::leaves security office, checks in main engineering, cargo bays, transporter rooms, and finally ends up on the bridge::

Host CTO_Selan says:
<K'Rass> @ ::Turns, smiles, and walks back to her:: CO: Ah, the ol' silent treatment, Captain? ::Kneels down beside her:: It is amazing that the Gul could be so angry at you. I remember the days when he would just steal your ship's torpedoes and let you get off easy. No longer I suppose.

Host XO_VanSickle says:
CTO: Selan, what are those creeps up to?  Why the captain?  What in the universe are they doing to her?

Host CTO_Selan says:
XO: Sir, I'm picking up the Captain's transponder ... its nearby, and closing rapidly.

CMO_Garta says:
::exits Sickbay and heads for the TL::

Host CTO_Selan says:
XO: I have no idea, sir. I suppose they wish to steal weaponry from us again. A ransom of sorts.

Host CTO_Selan says:
ACTION: The Pirate ship decloaks before the Scorpius.

Host XO_VanSickle says:
CTO: Her transponder?  Bearing, distance?

Host CTO_Selan says:
::Looks up at the viewscreen:: XO: Right there, sir.

CMO_Garta says:
::enters TL:: Bridge.

TO_Nmbarri says:
::approaches the CTO:: CTO: Sir, i have personally checked all of my security teams, they are all posted in vital ship areas, with phaser rifles ready.  I hope they are ready for anything that is to come.

Host XO_VanSickle says:
::turns to look at the viewscreen:: CTO: ::loud and sternly:: Hail them!

CNS_Zach_Bauer says:
XO: Normally my advice would be to try negotiation but in this case and what with past history I say we are left with no choice but to kick butt

Host CTO_Selan says:
TO: Good work, Mr. Nmbarri. Keep watch ... especially over our arsenal.

Host XO_VanSickle says:
CNS: Noted.

Host CTO_Selan says:
::Opens comm. frequency:: XO: Frequency open, sir.

Host CO_TPaula says:
@K'rass: His anger will be his downfall.

TO_Nmbarri says:
CTO: I will personally be at watch at the arsenal, Sir.

CMO_Garta says:
::enters the bridge and glances around for a moment::

Host CTO_Selan says:
<K'Rass> @ CO: I don't think so. I think this time he has come to his senses ... I think this time he'll blow your ship into the stars.

Host XO_VanSickle says:
COMM: K'Rass/Sur: This is Cmdr. Eric VanSickle, acting commanding officer of the USS Scorpius.  We have come for our captain.  Either turn her over or face the consequences.

AFCO-Flyer says:
:: takes a deep silent breath letting all the air out ::

TO_Nmbarri says:
::turns to go to the TL, sees the CMO, stops for a moment to catch his breath, then heads into the lift::

Host CTO_Selan says:
ACTION: The viewscreen is replaced by the image of the paled, malnourished Cardassian Gul Sur.

CNS_Zach_Bauer says:
::Sees CMO and nods hello still embarrassed about being seen in holodeck earier::

Host CO_TPaula says:
@::somewhat disturbed by that possibility::

Host CTO_Selan says:
<Gul Sur> @ COM: Scorpius: I have no doubt of that, "Captain" VanSickle.

CMO_Garta says:
::steps away from the lift and catches the TO's eye::

TO_Nmbarri says:
TL: main armory.

CMO_Garta says:
TO: Everything okay?

Host CTO_Selan says:
::Watches Sur on the viewscreen::

TO_Nmbarri says:
TL: Halt

CMO_Garta says:
::watches the lift door close:: Self: Guess not.

Host XO_VanSickle says:
COMM: Sur: Don't patronize me, you spoon head scumbag!

TO_Nmbarri says:
TL: Open doors

Host CTO_Selan says:
<Gul Sur> @ COM: Scorpius: You're not much for controlling your temper, Commander. You set a bad example for your inferiors.

Host CTO_Selan says:
::Considers locking on weapons, but refrains::

AFCO-Flyer says:
:: raises an eyebrow at the comment from the Gul ::

CMO_Garta says:
::turns and walks away from the lift::

TO_Nmbarri says:
CMO: Doctor, all is fine with me, its just that...... ::lets the sentence end without finishing it::

CMO_Garta says:
::turns back:: TO: Yes?

Host CTO_Selan says:
<K'Rass> @ ::Smiles, and pats the Captain on the head:: *Bev* Bev, come down and watch our guest. I'm coming to the bridge. ::Sheathes his blade, and exits::

Host XO_VanSickle says:
COMM: Sur: My temper is of no concern of yours.  In fact, the entire crew is feeling this way.

TO_Nmbarri says:
CMO: When we have time, perhaps we should finish our.....discussion.

Host CTO_Selan says:
<Gul Sur> @ COM: Scorpius: So noted.

Host CO_TPaula says:
@::annoyed::

Host CTO_Selan says:
<Bev> @ *K'Rass* On my way ... ::Sighs, and heads for the brig::

AFCO-Flyer says:
:: holds her head up in pride as she listens to the conversation ::

Host XO_VanSickle says:
COMM: Sur: You and that p'tach you call your partner had better turn over Capt. T'Paula... RIGHT NOW!

CEO_AQilla_Horn says:
::replaces another component::

CNS_Zach_Bauer says:
XO: Dont let them see you sweat sir this is and should be treated like regular duty regardless of your past with K'Rass

Host CTO_Selan says:
<Gul Sur> @ ::Leans forward:: COM: Scorpius: Or you will do what, exactly, Commander? Both your ship and mine are evenly matched.

TO_Nmbarri says:
CMO: I must go to the armory now, we can talk later, i hope?

CMO_Garta says:
TO: I would like that.  Perhaps when T'Paula is safely back home where she belongs.

TO_Nmbarri says:
::leaves once again:: TL: Main armory.

Host XO_VanSickle says:
::calms down a moment:: COM: Sur: I guess my verbal saber rattling won't amount to much.

Host CTO_Selan says:
<Bev> @ ::Arrives in the brig and gasps at the state the CO is in:: Oh ...

CMO_Garta says:
::turns to the viewscreen and clenches her fist slightly::

AFCO-Flyer says:
:: plans for evasive maneuvers, if needed ::

Host CO_TPaula says:
@::gives Bev a "What are you looking at?" look::

CMO_Garta says:
::thinks: So that's the idiot Cardassian who took our Captain...::

Host CTO_Selan says:
<Gul Sur> @ ::Smiles, making his much more bony face a ghoulish look:: COM: Scorpius: You're learning, Commander. Well done.

TO_Nmbarri says:
::TL arrives at the armory, exits and takes up post watching and making sure that the weapons are all kept safe::

Host XO_VanSickle says:
COMM: Sur: So here's what I propose:  You, K'Rass, Cmdr. Tracianolus and me, holodeck two, one hour, we settle this man to man.

Host CTO_Selan says:
<Bev> @ ::Moves  forward slightly, her hand outreached:: CO:  A-are you ok?

Host XO_VanSickle says:
COMM: Sur: We'll do real saber rattling.

Host CO_TPaula says:
@Bev: What do you care?

Host CTO_Selan says:
<Gul Sur>  @ COM: Scorpius: Do you honestly think we will beam over to your ship, Commander? And are you naive to think we wouldn't destroy your ship the moment you lowered those shields?

Host CTO_Selan says:
<Bev> @ ::Shocked at the anger underlying the Vulcan CO's words:: I-I ... I'm sorry.

TO_Nmbarri says:
*Sec. Team leaders*: I have taken position near the weapons armory, contact me if ANYTHING happens.

CNS_Zach_Bauer says:
XO: Im sensing more fear from Gul Sur then he is letting on he is just being cocky for show. So no need to get rattled. He's a chump.

CEO_AQilla_Horn says:
::runs diagnostics on the newly-installed components::

Host XO_VanSickle says:
COMM: Sur: Do you think I'm naive enough to know you don't need our shields down for you to come over?

Host XO_VanSickle says:
::looks back at the CNS, then back to the screen::

Host CTO_Selan says:
<Gul Sur> @ ::Steeples hands:: COM: Scorpius: This isn't about negotiations, Commander. Your Captain is going to die.

Host CO_TPaula says:
@::watches Bev, emotionless::

Host CTO_Selan says:
::Takes a breath at Sur's words::

Host XO_VanSickle says:
COMM: Sur: Who said anything about negotiations?

Host CTO_Selan says:
<Gul Sur> @ COM: Scorpius: The point of this meeting is whether or not you want to die with her ... or after her.

CMO_Garta says:
::steps a little closer to the XO::

Host CTO_Selan says:
<K'Rass> @ ::Arrives on the bridge, and catches the tail end of the Gul's statement ... begins to wonder::

Host XO_VanSickle says:
COMM: Sur: I pick C, none of the above, and you two die in our place.

Host CO_TPaula says:
@Bev: I don't see the logic in your concern.

Host CTO_Selan says:
<Gul Sur> @ COM: Scorpius: Oh, vicious one you are, eh? What ever happened to Starfleet's regard to life?

CEO_AQilla_Horn says:
::leaves her Engineers in charge of the repairs and heads for the bridge to see what's going on::

CMO_Garta says:
::wonders why a Cardassian is talking about regard to life::

CNS_Zach_Bauer says:
SELF: Regard for life? Ha! We recycle our garbage

Host XO_VanSickle says:
COMM: Sur: That is in a normal situation.  You, spoon head scum, and you, ::points to K'Rass in the background:: have been thorns in our sides for too long.  We need to end this, NOW!

AFCO-Flyer says:
:: monitors her station ::

Host CTO_Selan says:
<Bev> @ ::Moves over to the side, and gets a first aid kit from a wall compartment:: CO: It's not like everyone on this ship is out to kill you ...

Host CTO_Selan says:
::Stares at the XO for a moment::

CEO_AQilla_Horn says:
::enters TL::  TL:  Bridge

CMO_Garta says:
::Thinks she should have asked Telok if it was a good day to die::

Host CO_TPaula says:
@Bev: Who are you?

Host XO_VanSickle says:
::motions to the CTO to mute COMM::

Host CTO_Selan says:
<Gul Sur> @ COM: Scorpius: So that is it? You up and violate your morals just because you're really angry. Pitiful, Commander, quite pitiful.

Host CTO_Selan says:
::Mutes just after the Gul speaks::

Host CTO_Selan says:
<Bev> @ ::The young Orion girl pulls out some cloth and liquid to apply to the CO's cuts:: CO: My name is Bev.

Host XO_VanSickle says:
CTO: What do you think?  Can this work?

CEO_AQilla_Horn says:
::exits TL and enters the bridge just in time to hear Sur's last comment::

Host CTO_Selan says:
XO: Fighting them one on one? I must admit that I'm not up to my original physical standards ... ::Gestures to his cane::

Host CO_TPaula says:
@Bev: Why are you here?  On this ship.

CNS_Zach_Bauer says:
XO: Dont give him satisfaction of this verbal fight what is our plan? let's do it.

CMO_Garta says:
XO: Cmdr. don't let him stir you anymore.  They feed on the emotions of others like leeches.

Host CTO_Selan says:
<Bev> @ ::Frowns:: CO: My sister used to work with them. When she up and left, Sur "acquired" me through the Syndicate as a replacement.

Host XO_VanSickle says:
All: Suggestions on how to get the captain out of there?

TO_Nmbarri says:
::gets an idea, exits armory, enters his office and takes the Bat'leth from the wall:: Self: This is a Klingon we are dealing with, if he should cause problems here, then I will deal with him as a Klingon.

CNS_Zach_Bauer says:
CMO: Thank you Garta my thoughts too

CEO_AQilla_Horn says:
XO:  Do we know precisely where she is?

Host CTO_Selan says:
<K'Rass> @ ::Walks forward:: Gul Sur: We could easily get the prefix codes out of their CO, and then blast them away ... why don't we do that?

TO_Nmbarri says:
::goes back to armory, Bat'leth in hand::

Host CO_TPaula says:
@Bev: But apparently you don't share Sur's goals.

CEO_AQilla_Horn says:
::thinks for a moment before she makes her suggestion::

Host XO_VanSickle says:
CTO: Have we changed our prefix codes yet?

Host CTO_Selan says:
<Gul Sur> @ ::Frowns:: K'Rass: Too simple, too easy.

Host CTO_Selan says:
<Bev> @ CO: Nah, I don't.

Host CTO_Selan says:
XO: No, sir. I will do so immediately.

Host CTO_Selan says:
::Sets to work on changing the codes as per certain directives::

CEO_AQilla_Horn says:
XO/CTO:  Maybe we could use the same method to get her back that they used to capture her in the first place.

Host XO_VanSickle says:
CTO: Can you also pinpoint T'Paula's location?

Host CTO_Selan says:
XO: It will take some time, but yes, perhaps ...

CMO_Garta says:
XO: What information do we have on K'Rass and his transportation technology?  Can we tap into it and use it to our advantage?

Host XO_VanSickle says:
CEO: Transdimensional teleportation?

Host CTO_Selan says:
<Gul Sur> @ ::Gets an idea:: K'Rass: Bring the Captain to the bridge.

Host CTO_Selan says:
CMO: Using that technology is a death sentence, Doctor.

Host XO_VanSickle says:
CTO: Put me back on to Sur.

Host CTO_Selan says:
<K'Rass> @ ::Grins:: Sur: Certainly. ::Exits the bridge::

Host CTO_Selan says:
::Unmutes the channel::

CEO_AQilla_Horn says:
::nods:: XO:  I know it's dangerous, but I don't know any shields that can stop dimensional transporting.

CMO_Garta says:
CTO: So was being Bajoran under Cardassian rule Sir, but I survived that.

Host XO_VanSickle says:
COMM: Sur: Where is the captain now?

Host CTO_Selan says:
<Gul Sur> @ COM: XO: She'll be joining us momentarily.

Host CO_TPaula says:
@::tries to think but is too exhausted::  Bev: Do you like it here?

Host CTO_Selan says:
<K'Rass> @ ::Arrives in the brig, and sees Bev treating the CO:: Bev: What are you doing?!

Host XO_VanSickle says:
CEO: We don't have transdimensional capabilities.

Host CTO_Selan says:
<Bev> @ ::Looks up shocked:: Uh ... I ... she was h-hurt ...

Host CO_TPaula says:
@K'rass: You don't want me to die prematurely, do you?

Host CTO_Selan says:
<K'Rass> @ ::Ignores the CO, moves over and backhands Bev t o the side::

CEO_AQilla_Horn says:
XO:  No, but we do have the data to build one

Host XO_VanSickle says:
CEO: Not yet, AQilla.

CMO_Garta says:
::walks over to the CEO::

Host XO_VanSickle says:
CTO: When the captain comes onto the view screen, see if you can get a lock on her.

Host CTO_Selan says:
<K'Rass> @ ::Unchains the CO, and drags her out of the brig::

Host CTO_Selan says:
XO: Their shields are up sir ...

CEO_AQilla_Horn says:
XO:  So we need to find a way to lower them ....

Host CTO_Selan says:
<Gul Sur> @ ::Smirks at the conversations the Scorpius crew is having::

Host XO_VanSickle says:
CTO: Oh.  See if you can get through them, or find a way to disable them.

Host CO_TPaula says:
@::thinks that, for pirates, they have a nice floor::

Host XO_VanSickle says:
::turns back to the screen:: COMM: Sur: Other than our lives, what else do you want?

CMO_Garta says:
CEO: ::whispers:: What about a shuttle craft?  If we can get one close enough and self destruct it, we might get a hole in their shields.

Host CTO_Selan says:
<Gul Sur> @ COM: Scorpius: Nothing more, nothing less, Commander.

Host XO_VanSickle says:
COMM: Sur: Well, then, if you want all our lives, just hand back the captain, and we'll battle it out.

Host CTO_Selan says:
<Gul Sur> @ COM: Scorpius: K'Rass once told me that revenge is a dish best served cold. Corpses are cold, Commander. And so shall you be.

CEO_AQilla_Horn says:
::nods CMO:  :Whispers:: Not bad ... but, unfortunately, they'd shoot it out of the stars before it could get close enough.

Host CTO_Selan says:
<Gul Sur> @ COM: Scorpius: That would be too simple ... and it would provide you a chance to cut and run. I'd rather not have that, after all your Captain has put me through ... betraying me to the Klingons after all.

Host CTO_Selan says:
::Raises an eyebrow about the Klingon comment::

CEO_AQilla_Horn says:
CMO:  ::Whispers:: What we would need is a diversion to get the shuttle close enough ...

Host CTO_Selan says:
<K'Rass> @ ::Arrives on the bridge with the CO in tow::

Host CTO_Selan says:
ACTION: The crew can now see the battered, bruised and bloody condition of their Captain.

Host XO_VanSickle says:
::sees the captain on the screen, worse for wear::

CNS_Zach_Bauer says:
::Shudders and is angered at the sight of battered CO. Senses her pain but also her courage::  ALL: She is emotionally fine all things considering.

AFCO-Flyer says:
:: looks on in surprise at the condition of the Captain ::

CEO_AQilla_Horn says:
::looks at the Captain on the screen and gasps::

Host CTO_Selan says:
::Grits his teeth::

CNS_Zach_Bauer says:
ALL: She's a strong one

CMO_Garta says:
CEO: ::whispers:: What about a warp jump from behind the Scorpius?  I read in the Academy about a short warp jump used to defeat the Ferengi once.

Host CO_TPaula says:
@::raises her eyebrow at the viewscreen to show she is fine::

Host CTO_Selan says:
<Gul Sur> @ ::Pulls out a disruptor and aims at the CO:: COM: CNS: Not for long, she isn't ...

Host XO_VanSickle says:
CNS: Of course, counselor.  She's a Vulcan.

Host CTO_Selan says:
::Shouts:: No!

CMO_Garta says:
::turns to the viewscreen:: self: They will pay for this.

Host XO_VanSickle says:
COMM: Sur: You know, if you kill her, we kill you.

AFCO-Flyer says:
:: stiffens at the sight of a weapon aimed at her Captain :

CEO_AQilla_Horn says:
::nods:: CMO ::whispers:: That might work.  The shuttle would appear to be somewhere it's not ...

Host CTO_Selan says:
<Gul Sur> @ ::Fires at the CO, intentionally having the blast skim her right shoulder ... the blast in turn nearly kills another pirate and causes a console to explode::

CNS_Zach_Bauer says:
XO: Shrugs shoulders at XO like whatever::

Host CTO_Selan says:
ACTION: The Pirates look in shock on the bridge. K'Rass frowns at the action ... he doesn't like where this is going, not that much anyway.

CMO_Garta says:
CEO: ::whispers:: If we set for instantaneous explosion upon full stop, they'd never know what hit them.

Host XO_VanSickle says:
COMM: Sur: I see you were sort of bluffing.  I'm not!

Host CO_TPaula says:
@::remains as aloof as possible::

CMO_Garta says:
::thinks: Typical Cardassian, can't even aim at short range::

CEO_AQilla_Horn says:
CMO ::whispers:: I like it.

Host CTO_Selan says:
<Gul Sur> @ ::Ignores the XO and comes forward to the CO, taking her from the XO's grasp and shakes her:: CO: After all the times I saved your ungrateful life! You had the NERVE to help them give me to the Klingons! Do you have ANY idea what they do to CARDASSIANS in their jails?!

Host XO_VanSickle says:
CTO: Mute channel.

CMO_Garta says:
CEO: ::whispers:: Permission to go ahead with it?

Host CTO_Selan says:
::Mutes channel::

Host XO_VanSickle says:
CMO/CEO: What are you two ladies scheming?

Host CO_TPaula says:
@Sur: Never looked into the subject.

CMO_Garta says:
XO: Sir, I have an idea.

Host CTO_Selan says:
<Gul Sur> @ ::Backhands her::

CEO_AQilla_Horn says:
XO:  Something that might get their shields down, Sir.

Host XO_VanSickle says:
CEO/CMO: Let's have it.

Host CTO_Selan says:
<K'Rass> @ ::Watches on, wondering about the Gul's state of mind ... he has never seen him act like this::

CMO_Garta says:
XO: A short warp jump by one of our shuttles to close proximity of their ship.

Host CO_TPaula says:
@Sur: And why should I be grateful?

CMO_Garta says:
XO: Upon full stop, the shuttle explodes taking out their shields or at least making a hole.

CEO_AQilla_Horn says:
XO:  The shuttle would have enough explosives on-board to disable that ship ... and it would be a diversion enough to allow us to beam the Captain back

Host XO_VanSickle says:
CTO: Would that work, Selan?

CNS_Zach_Bauer says:
XO/CTO: might not be to hard getting them to off each other 

Host CTO_Selan says:
XO: It might. But if it doesn't take down their shields, they'll kill her instantly and come after us.

Host XO_VanSickle says:
CTO: Do you have any other option?

CEO_AQilla_Horn says:
::hears the CNS's comment:: CTO:  What about it?  Can we get the pirates to turn against each other ...

Host CTO_Selan says:
XO: No, I don't ...

CNS_Zach_Bauer says:
XO: Psychology could work here

Host XO_VanSickle says:
CNS: Explain...?

Host CTO_Selan says:
<Gul Sur> @ ::Screams at the CO:: AARRGGGH! What is it with you MONSTERS! ::Grabs his head and screams some more::

Host CTO_Selan says:
::Blinks:: XO: Sir ... ::Gestures at the viewscreen::

CEO_AQilla_Horn says:
::looks at the screen::

Host CO_TPaula says:
@::certainly wasn't expecting *that*, reb::

Host CTO_Selan says:
<K'Rass> @ ::Looks at Gul Sur in surprise::

Host XO_VanSickle says:
::looks at the screen:: CTO: Unmute!

CNS_Zach_Bauer says:
XO: A fight between themselves could serve as a diversion I could try to message CO and set CMO's plan in motion

Host CTO_Selan says:
::Unmutes the comm. so they can hear the Gul's screams of anguish::

Host XO_VanSickle says:
COMM: Sur: What's the matter, Sur?  Is the captain getting under your skin?

Host CTO_Selan says:
<Gul Sur> @ ::Turns, a truly crazed look in his eye:: COM: Scorpius: No ... but perhaps we can get under her skin? ::Gestures to K'Rass's knife::

CMO_Garta says:
Self: ::loudly enough for Sur to hear:: I have a cream for that.

Host XO_VanSickle says:
::turns attention to K'Rass:: COMM: K'Rass: Ah, Mr. K'Rass.  Still taking orders from that dishonorable spoon head scum.

Host CO_TPaula says:
@::looks at Sur as if she doubts his intelligence, because we've already done that::

Host CTO_Selan says:
<K'Rass> @ COM: Scorpius: Oh shut up VanSickle, its not like your crew hasn't tried that trick before ... ::Recalls CNS Jahna Swift::

Host XO_VanSickle says:
COMM: K'Rass: Are you such a p'tach without honor to follow that spoon head?  Does honor mean nothing to you?  Can't you see that Sur is weak?

CNS_Zach_Bauer says:
SELF: I thought Klingons nor Cardies took orders from anyone especially each other

Host CTO_Selan says:
<K'Rass> @ Pirate CTO: Someone blow away his comm. unit.

Host CTO_Selan says:
<Gul Sur> @ K'Rass: No!

CNS_Zach_Bauer says:
SELF: Sure sign of weakness and uncertainty ::Said loud enough to be heard on pirate ship::

Host XO_VanSickle says:
COMM: K'Rass: A Klingon following a weak Cardassian, especially a criminal, is no Klingon!

Host CTO_Selan says:
<Gul Sur> @ K'Rass: Not yet ...

Host CTO_Selan says:
<K'Rass> @ COM: Scorpius: Like a human would understand.

Host CO_TPaula says:
@::recalls K'rass' earlier desire to kill her and wonders how this will turn out::

AFCO-Flyer says:
Self:  pa' batlh wej ghaj    :: shakes her head ::

CNS_Zach_Bauer says:
SELF: Also perhaps signs of insanity setting in

Host XO_VanSickle says:
COMM: K'Rass: Oh, I forgot, you're not really a Klingon.  You are more like a Ferengi.

Host CTO_Selan says:
<Bev> @ ::Her face bleeding, she has silently made her way onto the bridge, watching this all happen::

AFCO-Flyer says:
:: smiles a little at the XO's comment ::

CNS_Zach_Bauer says:
::Whispers:: XO: K'Rass is rattled

CEO_AQilla_Horn says:
::looks at the XO, a small smile on her face::

Host XO_VanSickle says:
::whispers:: CNS: Good, it's working.

Host XO_VanSickle says:
::whispers:: CTO: If the pirates have any kind of energy build ups, take out their weapons.

Host CTO_Selan says:
<Gul Sur> @ COM: Scorpius: Nice tries, but the Klingons couldn't keep this group apart, and neither will you. No one is going to ruin this reunion.

Host CTO_Selan says:
::Whispers back:: XO: Easier said than done, sir.

CNS_Zach_Bauer says:
XO: They seem awfully indecisive. ::Said loudly::

Host CTO_Selan says:
<W> XO: But understood.

CMO_Garta says:
CEO: ::whispers:: Would it work faster if they saw a Klingon backing up the Cmdr.?

CEO_AQilla_Horn says:
CMO: ::whispers:: Possibly.

CNS_Zach_Bauer says:
::Thinks oh geez not Nmbarri::

Host CTO_Selan says:
<Bev> @ ::Stares at the CO, thinking its unfair someone else should be torn from their family to be stuck with this group::

Host XO_VanSickle says:
COMM: Sur: Oh, so that's what this is?  I haven't been to a reunion since my high school class' 10th last year.

Host CTO_Selan says:
<Gul Sur> @ COM: Scorpius: Really? And here I thought most of your graduating class would be notches on whatever scoreboard Jem'Hadar keep for their slain.

Host XO_VanSickle says:
COMM: Sur: You forget, we WON that war.

CMO_Garta says:
CEO: ::whispers:: Shall we call for Mr. Nmbarri?

CEO_AQilla_Horn says:
XO:  ::whispers:: Sir, maybe a Klingon speaking to a Klingon might sway K'Rass against Sur ...

Host CTO_Selan says:
<Gul Sur> @ ::The crazed look is slowly fading away ... he seems to be regaining control:: COM: Scorpius: Depends on how you look at it, Cmdr.

CNS_Zach_Bauer says:
::Thinks Noooooo::

Host CO_TPaula says:
@::notices Bev; she doesn't seem to be suited to this profession::

Host CTO_Selan says:
<Bev> @ ::Tries to look into the CO's eyes from across the bridge, wondering if Vulcan's can express fear::

Host XO_VanSickle says:
::whispers:: CEO: Send a text message to Nmbarri to join us.

Host CO_TPaula says:
@::avoids looking at Bev lest she should draw attention to her::

Host XO_VanSickle says:
COMM: Sur: Just because you were on the wrong side of that war doesn't mean you have to be hostile.

CEO_AQilla_Horn says:
::nods and goes over to her station ... sends a text message to the TO informing him to report to the bridge::

CMO_Garta says:
CEO: whispers:: I'll step into the TL so I can inform him of what's happening.  The look on his face when he arrives will mean a lot to that thing ::nods toward K'Rass:

Host CTO_Selan says:
<Gul Sur> @ ::Laughs:: COM: Scorpius: And here I thought you were a man of knowledge, Cmdr. Surely you know that WE weren't even involved in the war.

CNS_Zach_Bauer says:
CO: ~~~Captain this is Zach can you hear me~~~

CNS_Zach_Bauer says:
::Tries a telepathic link to CO::

CEO_AQilla_Horn says:
CMO:  ::whispers:: Thank you, Doctor.

CMO_Garta says:
XO: I think they were too scared to become involved against the Founders.

CMO_Garta says:
::moves towards the TL::

CEO_AQilla_Horn says:
::walks back over to the XO::

Host XO_VanSickle says:
COMM: Sur: Oh?  I thought you would be one to help those dishonorable Jem’Hadar and their Founder masters.

TO_Nmbarri says:
::receives message from the CEO::

CEO_AQilla_Horn says:
XO:  ::whispers:: Sir, Dr Garta is going to meet Nmbarri and get him up to speed on what's happening.

Host CTO_Selan says:
<Gul Sur> @ COM: Scorpius: I'm a pirate. I have no interest in galactic politics and real estate.

TO_Nmbarri says:
Self: this cannot be.  No Klingon would take a hostage, has he no honor?

Host XO_VanSickle says:
COMM: Sur: Oh, really?

CMO_Garta says:
::enters the TL and orders it to the Armory:: *TO* I have some information for you before going to the bridge.

Host CTO_Selan says:
<Gul Sur> @ COM: Scorpius: I guess Starfleet officers really are idiots then. ::Sigh:: I expected better of my adversaries.

TO_Nmbarri says:
*CMO* Ok, i will be waiting for you at the TL. ::goes to the TL::

Host XO_VanSickle says:
COMM: Sur: I'm a lot smarter than some people... ::nodding toward K'Rass::

Host CTO_Selan says:
<K'Rass> @ ::Isn't fazed::

CMO_Garta says:
::watches as the TL door opens and Telok steps inside::

TO_Nmbarri says:
::steps into the TL with the CMO::

Host CTO_Selan says:
<Bev> @ ::Comes to a decision, takes a breath and rushes at the Tactical console and slams into it, hitting the button which lowers the shields::

Host XO_VanSickle says:
COMM: K'Rass: Oh come now, K'Rass.  If I were you, if I had just one ounce of smarts, I would have killed that spoon head scum and taken over the operation.

Host CTO_Selan says:
XO: Sir, their shields are lowering!

TO_Nmbarri says:
CMO: Janise, what is going on?

Host CO_TPaula says:
@::looks up in shock::

Host XO_VanSickle says:
CTO: Lock onto the captain and beam her back!

CEO_AQilla_Horn says:
::races over to OPS:: XO:  Locking onto the Captain, now!

Host CTO_Selan says:
<Gul Sur> @ Bev: Little brat! ::Kills her with his disruptor::

Host CTO_Selan says:
::Does so::

CMO_Garta says:
TO: The Cmdr is working on separating Sur and K'Rass.  We thought perhaps a Klingon backing up the Cmdr. regarding honor would help.

Host XO_VanSickle says:
CTO: Lock phasers on target and fire!

Host CTO_Selan says:
ACTION: The CO is beamed back instantly.

CMO_Garta says:
::orders the tl to the bridge::

Host CTO_Selan says:
XO: Aye, sir! ::Opens fire with phasers::

Host XO_VanSickle says:
FCO: Evasive maneuver delta 4!

TO_Nmbarri says:
CMO: ahh, i can understand that, if K'Rass has any honor left, he will turn on that Cardassian.

Host CTO_Selan says:
ACTION: The Pirate ship is slammed by the phaser blasts. Pirates scream in shock as they rock. Moments later, shields go up, and they return fire with a full barrage.

Host XO_VanSickle says:
CTO: Full spread photon and quantum torps!

Host CTO_Selan says:
ACTION: Both ships rock as they move into battle.

CEO_AQilla_Horn says:
*CMO*:  Dr Garta please report to the bridge immediately.  We have the Captain back.

AFCO-Flyer says:
:: fingers fly over the console initiating delta 4 ::   XO: Delta 4, aye sir

Host CO_TPaula says:
*bridge*: Beam any Orion life signs on their bridge to our brig.

TO_Nmbarri says:
::feels the ship getting pounded::

Host CTO_Selan says:
<Gul Sur> @ ::Looks at the smoldering hole in Bev:: Foolish girl.

Host XO_VanSickle says:
*CO* Can't do that, captain.  Their shields are back up!

CNS_Zach_Bauer says:
TO: Yeah go over and break there furniture just kidding dont nobody have a cow.

CMO_Garta says:
::enters the bridge:: CEO: I'm right here.

Host CTO_Selan says:
::Looks at scans:: *CO* I'm sorry ma'am, but the only Orion life sign on board the ship also ceased before their shields went up ...

TO_Nmbarri says:
::follows the CMO onto the bridge::

Host CO_TPaula says:
*XO*: Ah.  ::looks around to see where she's been beamed to::

CMO_Garta says:
::grabs the med kit hidden in a panel and runs to the CO:: CNS: What happened?

Host CTO_Selan says:
<Gul Sur> @ ::Holds on as they're rocked:: Enough of this ... I can't take much more ... it is fruitless with them ... K'Rass ...

Host XO_VanSickle says:
FCO: Attack pattern omega 13!  CTO: Continue firing!

CNS_Zach_Bauer says:
CMO: CO is back go help her

Host CTO_Selan says:
<K'Rass> @ ::Holds on as they are rocked:: Gul Sur: Sir?

Host CTO_Selan says:
XO: Aye, sir! ::Continues firing::

Host CTO_Selan says:
<Gul Sur> @ K'Rass: Get us out of here.

Host CTO_Selan says:
<K'Rass> @ Gul Sur: But --

AFCO-Flyer says:
XO:  Attack pattern omega 13, aye     :: enters pattern ::

Host CO_TPaula says:
::relaxes on the transporter pad::

Host CTO_Selan says:
<Gul Sur> @ K'Rass: Get us out of here!

Host XO_VanSickle says:
FCO: If they try to flee, follow them!

CNS_Zach_Bauer says:
::Goes with CMO::

Host CTO_Selan says:
ACTION: Moments later, the Vor'Cha Pirate ship comes about and cloaks ...

Host XO_VanSickle says:
CTO: Tachyon burst!

CNS_Zach_Bauer says:
CMO: have her beamed to SB

Host CTO_Selan says:
::Does so:: XO: They're gone, sir.

Host XO_VanSickle says:
Aloud: DAMN!

CEO_AQilla_Horn says:
XO:  Attempting to locate their ion trail ...

CNS_Zach_Bauer says:
CMO: Com' on I'll go with you

CMO_Garta says:
*Transporter Chief* I want T'Paula in sickbay before I get there!

CMO_Garta says:
::tosses the med kit to Nmbarri:: TO: Here just in case!

CMO_Garta says:
::enters the TL::

CNS_Zach_Bauer says:
::Follows CMO::

Host CTO_Selan says:
<Transporter Chief> ::Beams the CO to Sickbay::

CEO_AQilla_Horn says:
::shakes her head:: XO:  Sir, I can't locate their ion trail ...

TO_Nmbarri says:
::thinks to himself that he should have been called to the bridge earlier, but is quite thankful that the CO has been returned::

Host XO_VanSickle says:
Aloud: DAAAAAAAMN!

TO_Nmbarri says:
::catches the med kit::

Host CTO_Selan says:
XO: We should be grateful for what we have achieved here sir -- ::Stops as the XO shouts in anger::

CEO_AQilla_Horn says:
XO:  They've managed, somehow, to hide their trail ...

CMO_Garta says:
::exits the TL and runs to Sickbay::

CNS_Zach_Bauer says:
CMO: What’s with you and Nmbarri

Host XO_VanSickle says:
CTO: What we've achieved?  WHAT HAVE WE  ACHIEVED?????

CNS_Zach_Bauer says:
::Runs with her::

AFCO-Flyer says:
:: watches console closely ::

CMO_Garta says:
CNS: I wish I knew Zach. ::enters sickbay::

Host XO_VanSickle says:
CTO: Those damn pirates are still out there, waiting for us to cross their path again!

TO_Nmbarri says:
::thinks for a moment:: CTO: Sir, with the lack of an ion trail, could that ship have cloaked and not gone very far?

CMO_Garta says:
Houlihan: Surgical bed prepped stat. ::moves to the CO::

Host CTO_Selan says:
::Face remains unchanged at the XO's shouting:: XO: Our Captain's life, sir. And our morals. They were pushing us to become like them ... to become killers. We beat them at their game.

CNS_Zach_Bauer says:
::Sees poor CO on bio bed and feels her pain even though she won't::

Host CO_TPaula says:
CMO: Nice to see you again.

CMO_Garta says:
CO: You're in my hands now Captain.  You are going to be fine.  I promise.

CNS_Zach_Bauer says:
CO: Dont worry Ma'am your gonna be ok

CMO_Garta says:
<Houlihan> CMO: It's ready.

CMO_Garta says:
Nurses: Help me.

Host XO_VanSickle says:
CTO: Look, Selan, those pirates have declared a private war against us with all their little attacks and raids and kidnappings and murders.  We have to draw the line, and it had to be HERE!

CMO_Garta says:
CNS: You watch her head while we move her.

Host CO_TPaula says:
::wasn't worried::

Host CTO_Selan says:
XO: How far would you be willing to go to draw this line, sir?

CMO_Garta says:
::with the nurses' help, they move the CO to the surgical bed::

Host XO_VanSickle says:
CTO: To the end of the universe if we have to.

CNS_Zach_Bauer says:
CO: And I'll think all the nasty thoughts about gul and the idiot Klingon for you ::Smiles down at her::

AFCO-Flyer says:
:: continues to watch her console, making minor adjustments as needed ::

TO_Nmbarri says:
::taps the CTO on the shoulder:: CTO: Sir, did you hear my question?

CNS_Zach_Bauer says:
CMO: Got her head

Host CO_TPaula says:
::reb, uncomfortable being the center of attention::

CMO_Garta says:
CO: You need to rest while I examine you.  It'll keep the pain level down.  I'll see you in a little bit.

CMO_Garta says:
::injects the CO with a tranquilizer and puts her to sleep::

CEO_AQilla_Horn says:
XO:  Sir, one thing though.  Did you get the impression that something was happening to Sur?  It's almost as if he's going insane ...

Host XO_VanSickle says:
CTO: Some day, some how, those two will feel our collective wrath, and they will pay.  Whether it would be with prison time or with their lives.

AFCO-Flyer says:
:: releases a quiet sigh, glad to have the Captain back on board ::

CMO_Garta says:
*XO* Did we get them?

CNS_Zach_Bauer says:
CMO: She will be ok wont she? Looks like mostly superficial wounds

CMO_Garta says:
::begins scanning the CO::

Host XO_VanSickle says:
CEO: He may have lost all of his marbles.

Host CTO_Selan says:
XO: With all due respect sir, that's too far for me. For most of us. ::Nods at the TO:: I loved Shania Nes, and she loved in me the fact that I was able to hold to Starfleet's morals. That I did not give into violence easily and the like. Yes, they did murder her. But I would NEVER violate the things she saw in me to get revenge.

Host XO_VanSickle says:
CEO: Not that he had many to begin with.

CMO_Garta says:
CNS: I'm not losing her on my watch Zach.

CNS_Zach_Bauer says:
CMO: Mine either ::Smiles::
