Mission Summary:
The Scorpius arrived at Yringalla with the remainder of first fleet and took up
action there when the Yringallan fighters advanced.  The Scorpius crew witnessed the destruction of the USS Trafalgar and the USS Catawba.  The Trafalgar went down with all hands, however the Scorpius crew was able to retrieve 83 life pods.  The wounded are currently in sickbay or the cargo bay triage center being treated for their injuries.

As First Fleet’s attack advance, the Yringallan's began to retreat.  Captain VanSickle ordered them that they be followed, in case it was a ruse.  Commodore Royce, the Commanding Officer of the USS Vesuvius, flagship of the First Fleet and in charge of the situation at Yringalla, ordered the fleet to stand down and take up a defensive posture around the planet.  Admiral Milburn countermanded those orders and ordered the fleet to pursue the retreating ships and to begin orbital bombardment.

The Scorpius' Operations Officer sensed the arrest of Commodore Royce as well as her Chief Science Officer, Operations Officer and Tactical Officer as they were arrested for treason after disobeying the Admiral’s order for the genocide of the Yringallan’s.  Knowing this, the Scorpius stood down from their attack and the Senior Staff began planning a rescue mission to assist the Commodore and her crew, as well as restoring the Vesuvius to her command.

The away team, consisting of Captain VanSickle, Commander Horn, Commander Turnbull and a security team, boarded a shuttle and headed for the Vesuvius.  They were able to land under the guise of needing to recharge the shuttle’s weapons.  Captain VanSickle and Commander Turnbull then proceeded to the Vesuvius’ brig to complete their mission leaving Commander Horn behind on the shuttle.

Captain VanSickle and Commander Turnbull arrived in the brig just as the Commodore and her staff had secured their release from the brig and the two assisted the Commodore in her attempts to relieve the Admiral of her duty and retake command of the Vesuvius.  Science Officer Lane of the Vesuvius, was able to stun the Admiral after all other means to stop her had been tried.  During the efforts to stop the Admiral, the shuttle containing Commander Horn launched without authorization.  The crew of the Scorpius is tracing the shuttle’s course as all are awaiting further orders.

Host XO_AQilla_Horn says:
#Rigal:  You're going to be sorry you've done this.

Host CO_VanSickle says:
<Houlihan> FCO: I'm not sure how, commander, but the captain was given some kind of poison.  It's not lethal.  It just gives him a lot of pain.  Someone didn't want him to be well to disobey that admiral.

Host Rigal says:
@<Ves Med> EO:  I'm going to give something for the pain...  ::presses a hypospray to his neck.::  There, now we are going to transport you to sickbay where we can get you some help.

OPS_Anari says:
<Cmdore Royce>: COMM: CO:  My regrets, Captain, however, the Fleet only has 26 ships here.  We need to have all ships remain in position.

Host Rigal says:
ACTION:  A message from the Commodore flashes over the OPS Console.  If they do not get back with the fleet, the Scorpius will be considered is disobeyance they will be considered rogue and will be treated as such.

Ves_OPS_Chaser says:
@:: Sends out EM band messages to the First fleet for readiness, casualties and damages. ::

Host CO_VanSickle says:
COMM: Royce: And 25 ships would be strong enough without us.  We'll return to Yringalla as soon as we retrieve AQilla.  Scorpius out!

:: Sends the message out to the surrounding area ::

OPS_Anari says:
<Cmdore Royce>:  COMM: CO:  It is regrettable, Captain.  I must place you under arrest for disobeying a direct order

FCO_Vince says:
::checking the slaved tactical display::

Host XO_AQilla_Horn says:
#::starts working her way around her "cage" looking for anything she can use::

Ves_SO_Lane says:
@::tries to work but her mind keeps reliving the incident with the Admiral:: Self: Oh I could use your shoulder now Sam.

Ves_EO_Blade says:
@::rolling on the bed having a nightmare::

Host CO_VanSickle says:
COMM: Royce: Commodore, you know that this mission is really an illegal one.

FCO_Vince says:
::puts a call into engineering to increase impulse power::

Ves_OPS_Chaser says:
@:: watches the plotted course of the Scorp ::

Host CO_VanSickle says:
COMM: Royce: This mission violates the Prime Directive, since Yringalla is a prewarp civilization.  Why would Starfleet authorize us to attack and blockade a prewarp civilization?

OPS_Anari says:
:: Notes the channel has been closed ::   CO:  The channel is closed sir.

Ves_EO_Blade says:
@::suddenly wakes up and stares blankly at the ceiling::

Host XO_AQilla_Horn says:
#::decides she might be able to provoke Rigal enough to lower the containment field::

OPS_Anari says:
~~~ FCO:  This is not good, Vince.  We are now deemed rogue. ~~~

Host CO_VanSickle says:
OPS: Send message to Commodore Royce.  Tell her that if she tries to arrest me, I'm going to say the order was illegal.

FCO_Vince says:
CO:  I don't understand.  We should have caught up to the sled by now.  I may have to go to warp at the risk of overshooting

Host Rigal says:
@<Ves Med> EO:  How are you feeling now?  ::Seeing that he has awaken.::

Ves_SO_Lane says:
@::looks over at Dru and then walks over to him:: VesCSO: Sir, permission to be relieved for a while?

Host CO_VanSickle says:
FCO: Engage, warp 7.

Ves_EO_Blade says:
::no answer ::

Host XO_AQilla_Horn says:
#Rigal:  You know, this little kidnapping of yours won't work.

VesCSO_Trelan says:
@VesSO: Go ahead. Have Lieutenant Hilton report to the bridge.

FCO_Vince says:
~~~OPS:  I know.  Just follow the Captain's orders, and things should work out... I hope~~~

Host Rigal says:
#XO: What do you mean?  You're contained, not going anywhere. ::Pilots a shuttle behind the moon.::

OPS_Anari says:
~~~ FCO:  I'm not so sure... ~~~

Host CO_VanSickle says:
FCO: Keep that trail on your sensors, and slow to warp 1 when we get within a million kilometers of the sled.

Ves_SO_Lane says:
@::nods:: VesCSO: Yes sir.

FCO_Vince says:
CO:  Okay, if you're sure  ::goes to warp factor 7::

Ves_CTO_Horn says:
@::continues to monitor the situation form her panel::

Host XO_AQilla_Horn says:
#Rigal:  There's no way I'm going to go with you willingly.

OPS_Anari says:
CO:  Aye sir.  But I must voice my that I do not agree with your decision

OPS_Anari says:
:: Fingers fly over her console as she composes the message ::

Host CO_VanSickle says:
OPS: If you're not with me, lieutenant, you can relieve yourself.

OPS_Anari says:
CO:  Message sent, sir

Ves_SO_Lane says:
@:;sends for Lt, Hilton ::

OPS_Anari says:
:: Nods ::   CO:  Aye, sir.   Permission to leave the bridge, sir?

Host Rigal says:
#XO:  Hmmm my dear, you are already going with me willingly... well my version of willingness.  ::Grins... all his front teeth are not there.::

Host CO_VanSickle says:
OPS: Granted.

Ves_OPS_Chaser says:
@:: plots the Scorp wondering what the heck is going on ::

OPS_Anari says:
:: Stands trying not to show the tears in her eyes and walks to the turbolift ::

Host XO_AQilla_Horn says:
#Rigal:  You had to knock me out to get me here ...

FCO_Vince says:
::dismayed at the thought of Anari not staying by the CO's side::

OPS_Anari says:
~~~ FCO:  Take care of him...and of yourself, Vince ~~~

Host Rigal says:
#XO:  Whatever it takes.  ::Chuckles::

OPS_Anari says:
:: Enters the turbolift ::

Host XO_AQilla_Horn says:
#Rigal:  And, believe me, I'll fight you all the way to wherever it is we're going.

Host CO_VanSickle says:
FCO: Don't tell me, she's on Royce's side of this issue.

FCO_Vince says:
CO:  I don't know.  We'll have to figure that out later, I guess.

Host CO_VanSickle says:
FCO: How is the trail?

Host Rigal says:
ACTION:  The Captain has an allergic reaction to the anti-toxin.

FCO_Vince says:
::feeling very upset now::

Host CO_VanSickle says:
Houlihan: Nurse, I think something's wrong.

OPS_Anari says:
Turbolift:  Deck 3

FCO_Vince says:
CO:  Holding constant, but still no contact

Host Rigal says:
ACTION:  He collapses to the floor having a hard time breathing.

Host CO_VanSickle says:
<Houlihan> ::scans the CO:: Self: Oh, no.  ::hypos an antihistamine:: CO: Sir, the anti-toxin caused an allergic reaction.  This antihistamine should...  ::sees the CO collapse again::

Host XO_AQilla_Horn says:
#Rigal:  So tell me something.  Why would you be so stupid as to kidnap a Starfleet Officer? ::said in a goading tone::

OPS_Anari says:
:: Exits the lift as it stops and walks slowly to her quarters ::

Host CO_VanSickle says:
<Houlihan> ::hypos triox::

Ves_CTO_Horn says:
@::Runs a quick diagnostic on the weapons system::

OPS_Anari says:
:: Angry she accidentally breaks a panel in the corridor outside her quarters ::

Host Rigal says:
#XO:  Because I can...  How can you be so stupid as to get caught?  ::Sounding just as goading::

Host CO_VanSickle says:
::breathing starts to stabilize::

OPS_Anari says:
:: Walks into her quarters ::

FCO_Vince says:
::feels a surge of anger::

OPS_Anari says:
:: Begins to mentally pick up stuff and throws it around her quarters ::

OPS_Anari says:
:: Breathing heavily trying to calm down ::

OPS_Anari says:
:: Clutches her fist tightly, beginning to draw blood ::

Host CO_VanSickle says:
<Houlihan> :: administers stimulant::

FCO_Vince says:
CO:  This doesn't make sense.  Those sleds aren't warp capable.  How could we not have overtaken it yet?

Ves_OPS_Chaser says:
@VesCSO:  They seem to be following something, Sir-r.  :: Continues monitoring::

VesCSO_Trelan says:
@VesOPS: Any idea what?

Host XO_AQilla_Horn says:
#::shrugs:: Rigal:  Perhaps.  But the consequences for me are not as bad as they are for you.

Ves_OPS_Chaser says:
@:: scans the area ahead of the Scorp looking for the answer to the CSO's question::

Host CO_VanSickle says:
::starts to come around:: Houlihan: What happened?

Host Rigal says:
#XO:  Yeah well they have to catch me first....

Host XO_AQilla_Horn says:
#::thinks of Anari ... hoping she can sense her thoughts::

OPS_Anari says:
:: Feels someone calling to her mentally... ::

Host XO_AQilla_Horn says:
#Rigal:  Just think ... you'll be on the run from Starfleet for the rest of your life ...

FCO_Vince says:
::hears a beep and notices a momentary blip on the nav sensor display::

Host CO_VanSickle says:
<Houlihan> CO: The anti-toxin gave you an allergic shock.  I administered an antihistamine, triox and a stimulant.

OPS_Anari says:
~~~ XO:  Commander...is that you? ~~~

FCO_Vince says:
::drop us out of warp::

AvXO_Cmdr_Rushing says:
@::stands out of the crew's way while they do their jobs.::

Host CO_VanSickle says:
Houlihan: Thanks.  FCO: What's our status?

Host XO_AQilla_Horn says:
#::hears Anari and thinks "yes"::

FCO_Vince says:
CO:  Sir!  We just passes the shuttle.  It had veered off.  I'm bringing us about.

Host CO_VanSickle says:
FCO: How far?

OPS_Anari says:
~~~ XO:  Commander...the Scorp disobeyed a direct order.  They are enroute to try and find you ~~~

Host XO_AQilla_Horn says:
#::thinks of her confinement and her abductor::

OPS_Anari says:
~~~ FCO:  I have mental contact with the XO ~~~

FCO_Vince says:
CO:  It's about .75 light years behind us, behind a moon

Host CO_VanSickle says:
FCO: ETA at warp 5?

FCO_Vince says:
CO:  10 minutes

OPS_Anari says:
~~~ XO:  Can you tell me where you may be? ~~~

Host XO_AQilla_Horn says:
#::looks around her and brings a mental picture of her surroundings into her mind::

Host CO_VanSickle says:
FCO: Get us there.

FCO_Vince says:
~~~OPS:  We just found her too~~~

FCO_Vince says:
::goes to warp 5::
 
Host XO_AQilla_Horn says:
#::doesn't know her exact location::

OPS_Anari says:
~~~ XO:  The Scorp is near, Commander ~~~

Ves_EO_Blade says:
@::gets off bed::

OPS_Anari says:
~~~ XO:  They apparently have you ~~~

FCO_Vince says:
CO:  There she is

Host CO_VanSickle says:
FCO: Prepare to lock onto the commander's pattern and beam her aboard.

FCO_Vince says:
::performs a sensor sweep on the sled::

OPS_Anari says:
:: Begins to calm down a bit, sensing the pain in her hands.  Looks at them and sees she drew blood ::

Host CO_VanSickle says:
FCO: Prepare a tractor beam.

OPS_Anari says:
:: Mentally lights her Vulcan meditation lamp ::

OPS_Anari says:
:: Hears Jake whine from his bed ::

FCO_Vince says:
::scanning for life signs on the sled, and preparing the tractor beam::

OPS_Anari says:
~~~ Jake:  I'm sorry, boy.  I didn't mean to alarm you.  I'm alright now ~~~

Ves_OPS_Chaser says:
@CSO: Sir-r, they are following an ion tr-rail.

Host CO_VanSickle says:
FCO: Tractor ready?

FCO_Vince says:
CO:  Standing by

OPS_Anari says:
:: Moves to her lamp and prepares to meditate ::

Host XO_AQilla_Horn says:
#Rigal: Let me out of here and we'll see who wins this little argument ...

Host XO_AQilla_Horn says:
#::getting very angry now::

Ves_CTO_Horn says:
@VesCSO: If they are onto something, shouldn't we try to help them. After all , they did help us when we were in trouble

OPS_Anari says:
:: Begins the Vulcan meditation chant ::

VesCSO_Trelan says:
@VesOPS: Is it a Federation trail?

Host Rigal says:
