Mission Summary:

Host SM_SusanB says:
Previously on the Scorpius, the crew had been ordered to the Heplar system to assist in actions taken around Yringalla. 

Host SM_SusanB says:
Admiral Milburn, previously in command of the mission, has been arrested, and Commodore Royce, Commanding Officer of the USS Vesuvius, has taken over command of the fleet.

Host SM_SusanB says:
All ships were ordered to remain in defensive formation around Yringalla, until discussions with the Yringallan's have been completed.

Host SM_SusanB says:
The USS Scorpius has been declared Rogue, after Captain VanSickle ordered his crew to break formation to chase after a shuttle bearing 4 occupants, one being the ship's Executive Officer and 2 dead.

Host SM_SusanB says:
The Scorpius was able to locate the fleeing shuttle, however, they are now being pursued by another Federation ship.

Host CO_VanSickle says:
CTO: Hold your post, lieutenant.

FCO_Vince says:
::after getting the Scorpius in range, quietly get a TR Lock on the XO and everyone else, and is ready to beam them to the brig::

Host SC_Tyler-Turnbull says:
CO: Captain, my understanding is that you are in violation of orders from the Fleet Commander, and you have been ordered under arrest.  Now you will surrender yourself now, or take your entire crew down with you.

Host CO_VanSickle says:
FCO: Are we in range?

CTO-T`Lok_Garta-Nmbarri says:
SC: Ma'am, we have come this far, please allow us to get XO Horn back.

Host SC_Tyler-Turnbull says:
CO:  And you just earned yourself a demotion, Commander VanSickle.  And you will be lucky if you are able to retain command of this vessel.... not to mention the possibility of losing your position in Starfleet all together.  CTO: Remove Mister VanSickle to the brig, now! 

Host CO_VanSickle says:
SC: If you would just let me do this MY way, the commander would be on this ship by this time!

Host SC_Tyler-Turnbull says:
::ignores the CO as she goes about restoring some order to the Scorpius::

CTO-T`Lok_Garta-Nmbarri says:

FCO_Vince says:
::awaiting while the Shuttlebay crew prepares the shuttle for remote operations::

CTO-T`Lok_Garta-Nmbarri says:
CO: Sir, I had a reason for moving you off the bridge, not simply because the SC ordered me to.

Host XO_AQilla_Horn says:
#::Grabs his head and bashes it into the floor, attempting to knock him out::

Host SC_Tyler-Turnbull says:
FCO: Commander, do you have the course plotted back to the fleet?

FCO_Vince says:
SC:  I do, Sir

Host SC_Tyler-Turnbull says:
ACTION:  The Doncaster acknowledges the FCO's message and prepares to escort the ship back to the fleet.

OPS-Anari says:

FCO_Vince says:
::return course is plotted::

Host CO_VanSickle says:
CTO: Why then?

Host SC_Tyler-Turnbull says:
FCO: Engage, warp 5.

CTO-T`Lok_Garta-Nmbarri says:
CO: You will have enough to defend against as it is.  I didn't want you to add to the charges against you.  I also feel that our current mission is an error. 

FCO_Vince says:
::with the go-ahead from the shuttle bay, launches a remote shuttle with programmed orders to intercept the other shuttle and transport the XO and party aboard::

Host SC_Tyler-Turnbull says:
#<Rigal> ::feels blood trickle down his face and his vision blurs as he turns and knocks the XO off of him...  reaches for his phaser and finds it missing::

Host CO_VanSickle says:
CTO: Don't worry, I was done ranting and raving.

FCO_Vince says:
::after the shuttle launches, goes to warp 5::

Host XO_AQilla_Horn says:
#::locates the missing phaser, grabs it and stuns Rigal::

FCO_Vince says:
::knowing, with the commotion on the bridge, the shuttle launch will go unnoticed::

CTO-T`Lok_Garta-Nmbarri says:
CO: This ship needs you.  It also needs you to prove what is happening is wrong.

Host SC_Tyler-Turnbull says:
Action: Rigal falls to the floor unconscious.

Host XO_AQilla_Horn says:
#::makes sure Rigal is securely bound, she moves to quickly restore power and hails the Scorpius::

Host CO_VanSickle says:
::paces TL:: CTO: I know that, T'Lok.  If Tyria just would have allowed me to complete this errand, I would have sent us back to the fleet, turned myself in, and my nerves wouldn't have been frayed.

OPS-Anari says:
:: Stands focusing on the wall awaiting the SC's answer ::

Host XO_AQilla_Horn says:
#COMM: SCORP:  USS Scorpius, this is Cmdr Horn, come in please.

Host CO_VanSickle says:
CTO: If you could, ask E'Laina to come to the brig after you drop me off there.

CTO-T`Lok_Garta-Nmbarri says:
::Places a hand on the CO's shoulder:: CO: Sir, If you need me for anything, you simply need to ask.

CTO-T`Lok_Garta-Nmbarri says:
CO: I will be more than happy to do that for you, Sir.

Host SC_Tyler-Turnbull says:
OPS: Neither do I, however, I assume he wished you to resume your duties.  Perhaps he saw the error in his judgment earlier.

Host XO_AQilla_Horn says:
#::sets a course back towards Yringalla::

FCO_Vince says:
COMM:  XO:  We hear you, Commander.  One of our class 10 shuttles should be approaching your position to take you back.

Host XO_AQilla_Horn says:
COMM: FCO:  That's not necessary, Commander.  I have control of the Sled and am returning to the ship.  All I need is you location.

Host CO_VanSickle says:
::feels TL stop near brig::

Host XO_AQilla_Horn says:
COMM: FCO:  Please also inform Lt Nmbarri I am transporting one prisoner.

CTO-T`Lok_Garta-Nmbarri says:
::Arrives at the brig with the CO and motions for him to enter::

FCO_Vince says:
::a look of shock on his face::  COMM:  XO:  Oh... really...... Okay.  I'm sending our coords now.

CTO-T`Lok_Garta-Nmbarri says:
CO: Make yourself as comfortable as you can, Sir.

Host CO_VanSickle says:
::enters brig and has a seat::

Host SC_Tyler-Turnbull says:
FCO: Forward our current coordinates to Commander Horn.

CTO-T`Lok_Garta-Nmbarri says:
::Sets the Brig force field::

FCO_Vince says:
::engages the return subroutine to the shuttles beacon::

OPS-Anari says:
SC:  Since you apparently have the bridge, permission to return to duty?

Host SC_Tyler-Turnbull says:
FCO:  And drop speed to warp 3 until the Commander reaches us.

FCO_Vince says:
::uploads the Scorp’s position and course::

Host XO_AQilla_Horn says:
#COMM: FCO:  Co-ordinates received.  I should reach your location in about 10 minutes.

FCO_Vince says:
::reduces speed to warp 3::

CTO-T`Lok_Garta-Nmbarri says:
CO: I must return to the bridge.  I will give Anari your message.

Host CO_VanSickle says:
CTO: Sure.  Thanks.

Host XO_AQilla_Horn says:
#::sets course and engages at Warp 4::

CTO-T`Lok_Garta-Nmbarri says:

Host XO_AQilla_Horn says:
#::looks around to see if Rigal is still happily sleeping::

Host SC_Tyler-Turnbull says:

Host XO_AQilla_Horn says:
#::picks up the Scorp on sensors::

CTO-T`Lok_Garta-Nmbarri says:
FCO: I will have a team meet her there.

OPS-Anari says:
:: Keeping her eyes downcast, finishes the message and sends it to the Doncaster and the Vesuvius ::

OPS-Anari says:
SC:  Messages sent, ma'am

FCO_Vince says:

CTO-T`Lok_Garta-Nmbarri says:
::takes a quick moment and goes over to  OPS, and whispers in her ear:: OPS: Anari, the CO asked me to have you come to the brig when you get a chance.  HE says he has something he needs to talk to you about.

Host SC_Tyler-Turnbull says:
OPS: Any further orders from the Fleet Commander?

Host XO_AQilla_Horn says:

Host SC_Tyler-Turnbull says:
FCO: You have Command until Commander Horn returns to the bridge.

FCO_Vince says:
SC:  Understood

FCO_Vince says:
*XO*:  Darn good to hear your voice, Ma’am.  Are you able to return to the bridge now?

Host CO_VanSickle says:
Brig officer: Guard, could you send a message to Lt. Garta-Nmbarri to see if he delivered my message to Lt. Anari?

Host SC_Tyler-Turnbull says:
OPS: Of course, accompany me on the lift.  ALL:  I'll be in the brig if any further orders are received.

Host XO_AQilla_Horn says:

Host XO_AQilla_Horn says:
CTO:  Thanks T'Lok.

Host SC_Tyler-Turnbull says:
OPS:  What can I do for you, Lieutenant?

OPS-Anari says:
SC:  Ma'am...I was going to ask permission to leave the bridge.  Apparently Captain VanSickle wants a word with me.

CTO-T`Lok_Garta-Nmbarri says:
<Brig officer> CO: I am sorry, Sir.  I wasn’t paying attention.

Host CO_VanSickle says:
Brig officer: She's coming down.  I hope it's not to gloat.

OPS-Anari says:
SC:  Thank you ma'am.

FCO_Vince says:
XO:  We're to wait in orbit of the Yringallan world

Host SC_Tyler-Turnbull says:

<INN> XO:  Message coming in from the Vesuvius...we are to return to Earth.  Negotiations have been successful

Host XO_AQilla_Horn says:
CTO:  Please do so.  And tell him to pass on my gratitude for coming after me ... even if it was misguided.

FCO_Vince says:
XO:  We'll be with the fleet in a minute or two.  It seems we're receiving a report.  ::sends it to the XO’s chair::

Host XO_AQilla_Horn says:
::smiles to herself::

Host SC_Tyler-Turnbull says:
SEC: We're here to see, Mr. VanSickle.  You may lower the forcefield for now.

CTO-T`Lok_Garta-Nmbarri says:
<Brig guard> ::Lowers the force field::

OPS-Anari says:
:: Nods acknowledgement to the CO and continues to stand there looking at the rear of his cell ::

Host CO_VanSickle says:
OPS: Until Capt. Turnbull came to the bridge, I was going to give you the same speech and allow you to return to duty.  ::sees the field lower, then the SC::

OPS-Anari says:
:: Nods slightly again ::

Host SC_Tyler-Turnbull says:
::sends the brief messages and gathers her thoughts::

Host CO_VanSickle says:
::comes to attention:: SC: Captain, may I offer my apologies for uttering that derogatory word at you in the heat of the moment, ma'am!

FCO_Vince says:
::hands control of the helm over to Myrthael when he arrives::

Host XO_AQilla_Horn says:
::thinks she wants to talk to the Captain, to find out why he risked the entire crew to rescue one person::

FCO_Vince says:
XO:  Permission to leave the bridge?

OPS-Anari says:
:: Continues to stand at attention ::

Host XO_AQilla_Horn says:
FCO:  For what reason, Commander?

FCO_Vince says:
::twitches a little::  XO:  The situation has me a little nerve racked.  I just want to...

Host XO_AQilla_Horn says:
::finds it hard to picture a Klingon being nerve racked:: FCO:  Wanted to what, Commander.  You can speak freely.

FCO_Vince says:
XO:  Take a breather to keep myself under control

Host SC_Tyler-Turnbull says:
ALL: As you were.... ::nods:: CO:  I understand you were angry, so I ignored your outburst.  However there are some things that cannot be overlooked and that's why I'm here.  I want to hear your explanation for your actions before any actions are taken.

FCO_Vince says:
XO:  I feel like I want to kill something... Commander

OPS-Anari says:
SC:  Ma'am...permission to speak freely to the Captain here?

Host XO_AQilla_Horn says:
::smiles:: FCO:  Permission granted.  Go blow off some steam in the holodeck.

Host CO_VanSickle says:
::goes to at ease::

Host SC_Tyler-Turnbull says:
::nods:: OPS:  Of course.

FCO_Vince says:
XO:  You are the best

Host CO_VanSickle says:
::lets OPS speak::

FCO_Vince says:
::smiling, sorta, exits the bridge::

Host XO_AQilla_Horn says:
::grins::

OPS-Anari says:
CO:  I acknowledge your apology sir...however, am I not a member of this crew?

Host SC_Tyler-Turnbull says:
::takes a step back as the two finish their conversation::

Host CO_VanSickle says:
OPS: Of course you are, but this isn't a democracy.

OPS-Anari says:
CO: Then as a member of this crew I feel I should advise you that I have felt nothing of the kind here...at least from you.  I try to advise you of what I sense...and you snap at me...

FCO_Vince says:
TL:  Deck ....  ::thinking:: ... umm... six... I guess

OPS-Anari says:
CO:  I tried to voice an opinion...and you snap at me

OPS-Anari says:
CO:  Frankly...sir...I don't think I belong here

OPS-Anari says:
:: Sarcasm in her voice is heard ::

FCO_Vince says:
::would like to go see the CO, but not with the circus that is sure to be there now::

Host CO_VanSickle says:
OPS: E'Laina, I know you don't mean that.  Your advice is greatly appreciated aboard this ship.

FCO_Vince says:
::temporarily fantasizes about a heroic rescue to breakout the Captain::

OPS-Anari says:
CO:  With all due respect...sir...you don't seem to want to hear whatever I have to say, whenever I have voiced it

Host CO_VanSickle says:
OPS: After this court martial, I promise to give greater weight to my crew's opinions.

Host SC_Tyler-Turnbull says:
ACTION: The CTO notices several circuits flashing on his console, then two torpedoes launch seemingly on their own.

OPS-Anari says:
CO:  I hope so...sir.  But for me it may be too late.  I am requesting a transfer from this ship...sir

CTO-T`Lok_Garta-Nmbarri says:
All: What the?????

Host XO_AQilla_Horn says:
::hears:: CTO:  What is it, Lt?

Host CO_VanSickle says:
::hears the sound of two torpedoes firing::  OPS/SC: Did we just fire a couple torpedoes?

CTO-T`Lok_Garta-Nmbarri says:
XO: Ma'am, my board shows that we just fired torpedoes!

Host XO_AQilla_Horn says:
CTO:  What!!!!!

OPS-Anari says:
:: Takes off the inhibitor so she can sense the CO ::

CTO-T`Lok_Garta-Nmbarri says:
XO: I cannot explain it, Ma'am, but we just fired two torpedoes!

Host XO_AQilla_Horn says:
CTO:  Where are they targeted?  And get the rest of our torpedoes locked down.  Make sure no more are fired.

Host SC_Tyler-Turnbull says:
ACTION:  Red Alert klaxons are heard throughout the ship.

Host SC_Tyler-Turnbull says:
ACTION:  Sensors are clear.

CTO-T`Lok_Garta-Nmbarri says:
::Locks down the torpedo bays and tries to determine where the two torpedoes went to::

OPS-Anari says:
:: Hears the red alert klaxons and looks around ::

FCO_Vince says:
::snaps out of his daydream from the klaxons::

Host CO_VanSickle says:
OPS: It seems that transfer may have to be delayed.  SC: Captain?

FCO_Vince says:
TL:  Halt!

Host XO_AQilla_Horn says:
*ALL*:  Bridge to all personnel,  Man your stations.

OPS-Anari says:
:: Raises her eyebrow at the CO, but goes back to attention ::

FCO_Vince says:
*XO*:  This is Vince.  What's happening?

CTO-T`Lok_Garta-Nmbarri says:
XO: Ma'am, they just seem to have blown up in dead space.

Host XO_AQilla_Horn says:
CTO:  Bring us down to Yellow Alert, and initiate a search for intruders.

OPS-Anari says:
CO/SC:  Please excuse me...I need to report back to the bridge.

Host CO_VanSickle says:
*XO*: This is VanSickle, what is going on up there?

FCO_Vince says:
Self:  Intaqh!  TL:  Take me back to the @$#%! Bridge

Host SC_Tyler-Turnbull says:
CO: That's what it seems like... ::steps back from the cell:: *Bridge* What's happening up there?

CTO-T`Lok_Garta-Nmbarri says:
::Puts the ship on yellow alert, then orders all security teams to initiate a search for any intruders::

Host XO_AQilla_Horn says:
*CO*:  Someone just fired two torpedoes, Sir.  We're trying to find out who and how now, Sir.

Host SC_Tyler-Turnbull says:
OPS: Of course, Lieutenant.  

OPS-Anari says:
:: Nods her acknowledgement and turns leaving the brig ::

CTO-T`Lok_Garta-Nmbarri says:
XO: I have all the security teams looking now, Ma'am.

FCO_Vince says:
::gets back to the bridge::

OPS-Anari says:
:: Runs to the turbolift after exiting the brig, pressing the call button ::

FCO_Vince says:
CTO:  What the $@!# is going on?

Host XO_AQilla_Horn says:
CTO:  Full internal sensor sweeps, Lt.

Host SC_Tyler-Turnbull says:
ACTION:  Phasers fire into open space.

CTO-T`Lok_Garta-Nmbarri says:
FCO: I wish I had an answer for you, Sir.

FCO_Vince says:
::almost yanks Ensign Myrthael from his seat::

OPS-Anari says:
:: Enters the turbolift ::   Turbolift:  Bridge     :: Replaces the inhibitor to block out everything ::

Host CO_VanSickle says:
SC: Captain, with all due respect, I would feel most comfortable if I were up there finding out what is happening.

CTO-T`Lok_Garta-Nmbarri says:
::Slams fist onto console:: XO: Now we fired phasers!

Host XO_AQilla_Horn says:
::hears the phasers firing:: CTO:  And get all our weapons locked down!!

FCO_Vince says:
Myrthael:  Excuse me Ensign.  I'm relieving you.

CTO-T`Lok_Garta-Nmbarri says:
::Shuts down power to all weapons systems::

FCO_Vince says:
::Myrthael slowly leaves the bridge with an alarmed look on his face, staring at Vince::

CTO-T`Lok_Garta-Nmbarri says:
::Thinks to himself that if someone starts throwing rocks, he will have them thrown off the ship::

OPS-Anari says:
:: Exits the turbolift and moves to OPS as Phillip Inn updates her ::   Inn:  Thank you, Phillip

Host XO_AQilla_Horn says:
*Security*:  Bridge to Security.  I want full intruder alert status activated immediately.  Concentrate on areas where our weapons can be fired from.

OPS-Anari says:
:: Sits at her station and begins and checks long-range sensors ::

Host XO_AQilla_Horn says:
CTO:  It might be an idea of security checked on our "guest".

FCO_Vince says:
::checks over the helm control for any changes::

CTO-T`Lok_Garta-Nmbarri says:
XO: my readings here say that the weapons were fired from weapons control.

Host XO_AQilla_Horn says:
CTO:  Get security down there now!

Host SC_Tyler-Turnbull says:
ACTION: Internal sensors detect no intruders.  However, security notifies the CTO of unauthorized personnel in secondary weapons control.

CTO-T`Lok_Garta-Nmbarri says:
XO: Already on it Ma'am.

Pel-Tor says:
::sneaks back to his quarters, really fast::

Host XO_AQilla_Horn says:
FCO:  Bring us out of warp until we get the situation under control.

CTO-T`Lok_Garta-Nmbarri says:
*Sec Teams* I want a full sensor check to see who was in that area.

Host SC_Tyler-Turnbull says:
CO: I understand that you would, Captain.  However, I believe your XO can handle the situation.  

OPS-Anari says:
:: Notes the usual...spatial features, then to fleet dissipating...nothing unusual ::

Host SC_Tyler-Turnbull says:
*XO* Any further information?

FCO_Vince says:
::slams on the proverbial breaks::

FCO_Vince says:
XO:  We're stopped

CTO-T`Lok_Garta-Nmbarri says:
XO: If the internal sensors are working, we should be able to tell who was in the weapons control area, if they are a registered person on this ship.

Host CO_VanSickle says:
SC: So, what did you want to talk to me about?

Host XO_AQilla_Horn says:
*SC*:  Yes Sir.  We've established that unauthorized persons have fired phasers and torpedoes were fired from secondary weapons control.  Security are attempting to locate the culprit now.

Host SC_Tyler-Turnbull says:
ACTION:  Internal sensor logs show a young Andorian at the controls, no visual on the face.

Host XO_AQilla_Horn says:
*SC*:  I've ordered all weapons be placed off-line and I have brought us out of warp until the situation is resolved.

OPS-Anari says:
:: Checking internal sensors... ::

Host SC_Tyler-Turnbull says:
CO: Eric, what were you thinking?

CTO-T`Lok_Garta-Nmbarri says:
::hears what the logs have to say, and turns pale, or as pale as a Klingon can become::

Host CO_VanSickle says:
SC: When I left the fleet?

OPS-Anari says:
XO:  Internal sensors show a young Andorian at the controls...unable to get a visual on his face.

Host XO_AQilla_Horn says:
::looks at T'Lok:: CTO:  What is it, Lt?

Host SC_Tyler-Turnbull says:
*XO* Excellent Commander, remain at impulse until you find what's happening.  With the recent encounter, don't overlook the possibility of simple malfunction as well.

CTO-T`Lok_Garta-Nmbarri says:
::rather loudly:: Self: This cannot be.

Host XO_AQilla_Horn says:
OPS:  Young Andorian?  Lt, establish the location of Pel Tor.

OPS-Anari says:
:: Glances at the CTO ::

Host CO_VanSickle says:
CO: I was thinking since the Vesuvius was back under Commodore Royce's control and since I was missing a crewman, my right hand, I felt it necessary to get her.

CTO-T`Lok_Garta-Nmbarri says:
All: Someone please tell me there is more than one young Andorian on this ship.

OPS-Anari says:
Computer:  Location of the young Pel Tor?

Host XO_AQilla_Horn says:
CTO:  Not to my knowledge, Lt.  Have him brought up to the bridge,  I'm going to have a word to him.

CTO-T`Lok_Garta-Nmbarri says:
<Computer> Pel Tor is in his quarters.

Host SC_Tyler-Turnbull says:
CO:  Yes, why would you risk an entire ship and ship's compliment to go after one person, especially against orders?

Host CO_VanSickle says:
SC: My philosophy is no one gets left behind.

OPS-Anari says:
XO:  Pel Tor is in his quarters, ma'am

CTO-T`Lok_Garta-Nmbarri says:
*Pel Tor* CTO to Pel Tor, get your bottom up to the bridge, NOW!

Host XO_AQilla_Horn says:
*SC*:  More information, Sir.  It seems we may have found our culprit.  I'm having him brought to the bridge now.

Host CO_VanSickle says:
SC: I'm like Capt. Kirk in a way, instead of Amb. Spock.

Pel-Tor says:
*CTO* Yes, Sir.  On my way.

Pel-Tor says:
::leaves his quarters, moving slowly, eyes on the ground, enters a TL and orders it to the bridge::

Host CO_VanSickle says:
SC: However, our very presence at Yringalla was illegal in its very nature.

Host XO_AQilla_Horn says:
OPS:  Thank you, Lt.

Host SC_Tyler-Turnbull says:
CO:  Don't misunderstand my question, I know how important your XO is to you.  I would have wanted to do whatever I could to rescue my XO if I were in your position.  However, you've now put yourself, and me in quite a poor position.

FCO_Vince says:
Self:  I can see it now.  The intruder is in custody and sentenced to being grounded for 10 years.

OPS-Anari says:
:: Nods as she hears the XO; keeps her eyes on her console ::

CTO-T`Lok_Garta-Nmbarri says:
XO: Ma'am, if my son is responsible......::words trail off::

Host XO_AQilla_Horn says:
CTO:  T'Lok ... it might be better coming from me.

CTO-T`Lok_Garta-Nmbarri says:
::looks very embarrassed::

OPS-Anari says:
:: Grins to herself as she hears the CTO... ::

Host SC_Tyler-Turnbull says:
CO: Our presence at Yringalla was ordered by Starfleet Command.  The orders given by Admiral Milburn that basically attempted genocide, yes those were illegal, but not our presence there.

Host CO_VanSickle says:
SC: Tyria, we were sent to destroy a pre-warp society.  It would be like if the Vulcans, instead of studying us, they were intent on destroying us on Earth.

CTO-T`Lok_Garta-Nmbarri says:
XO: Yes, since he is my son, I would prefer that someone else handle it.  I don’t want anyone assuming a conflict of interest.
