Host Gerry says:
Vacation, Vacation, Vacation, Episode 8:  Out of the frying pan...

Host Gerry says:
Previously on the USS Scorpius:

Host Gerry says:
Admiral Taylor had brought news that related to a terrorist attack on Wrigley's Pleasure Planet where the crew of the Scorpius just happened to be vacationing...

Host Gerry says:
As coincidental as the timing of the attack may have been, the Admiral brought intelligence that showed a horrible new weapon of mass destruction that could destroy a planet with a single shot.

Host Gerry says:
The CO and Second Officer watched with the Admiral as a planet with 14 billion people was wiped out.  The Admiral was so affected that he has left the bridge and is meditating in his quarters.  The CO has called a briefing while the crew awaits more aid ships, now 47 hours away, to take over so they may pursue the principals of the terrorist organization and discover what they stand for...

XO_AQilla_Horn says:

Host CO_VanSickle says:
Crew: We have a connection to what has happened downstairs.  Raise your hand if you remember a Klingon pirate named K'Rass.

EO_Lt_T`Larsis says:
::blushes::

XO_AQilla_Horn says:
::remembers him all too well ... raises her hand::

OPS-Anari says:

TO_Lane says:

Host CO_VanSickle says:
CTO: I said raise it, not slam it on the table.

CTO_Garta-Nmbarri says:
CO: My apologies, Sir.  But the mention of that traitorous Klingon brought back some powerful memories, if you know what I mean.

OPS-Anari says:
:: Feels the anger rising in the CTO ::

FCO_Vince says:
::under his breath::  I know...

OPS-Anari says:
:: Glances quickly at Vince ::

CSO_Jakiel says:
CO: Could you explain for those who are new?

EO_Lt_T`Larsis says:
::sensing all the confusion she looks at the crew members::

Host CO_VanSickle says:
CTO: Totally understandable.  All: The reason I asked for you all to see if you remember him because we have several crew members join since our last encounter.

FCO_Vince says:
::scowling now::

CNS-McDonald says:
:: nods :: 

EO_Lt_T`Larsis says:
::raises her hand::

Host CO_VanSickle says:
EO: Lieutenant, uh?

CTO_Garta-Nmbarri says:
::fists tighten as his anger grows::

OPS-Anari says:
:: Gently squeezes Vince's hand under the table ::    ~~~ FCO: Not a good individual, I take it? ~~~

EO_Lt_T`Larsis says:
CO: I am puzzled. K’Rass?? Who is he??

Host CO_VanSickle says:
EO: I'll explain...

FCO_Vince says:
~~~OPS:  A despicable one, to say the least~~~

OPS-Anari says:
~~~ FCO: So I sense.  You'll have to tell me more about this individual at a later time. ~~~

Host CO_VanSickle says:
All: K'Rass has been a thorn in the side of this ship and her crew for years.

CTO_Garta-Nmbarri says:
::incredibly vivid memories of another traitorous Klingon begin to run through his mind, making the anger that much stronger::

XO_AQilla_Horn says:
::understands the reaction of the crew who have met K'Rass before ... she shares it::

OPS-Anari says:
:: Senses the growing anger from the CTO ::

CEO_Bodine says:
<MO_Johnson> ::goes to check on Ensign Lane::

Host CO_VanSickle says:
All: He has either killed or conspired to kill several past crewmembers, including my predecessor.

EO_Lt_T`Larsis says:
::sensing all the anger and hate from the entire room::

CSO_Jakiel says:
::Glances at the CTO.  His reaction seeming strongest::

EO_Lt_T`Larsis says:
CO: Sir I can assume he has raised his ugly head once again.

Host CO_VanSickle says:
EO: Yes, lieutenant, he has, but please, don't speak unless recognized.

CEO_Bodine says:
::gives the EO a disapproving look::

EO_Lt_T`Larsis says:
CO: Sorry sir.

TO_Lane says:
::bites at the nurse’s hand as she checks the restraints:: Get away!

FCO_Vince says:
::starts to ask something, then holds back::

CTO_Garta-Nmbarri says:
CO: Sir, we can't let him continue on, if he is still alive.  he must be killed. ::the anger is reaching a breaking point::

OPS-Anari says:
:: Tries to remain calm considering all the emotions she has been feeling of late from around the ship and from the planet ::

CEO_Bodine says:
<MO_Johnson>TO: How are you doing? ::watches her struggle::

Host CO_VanSickle says:
All: Adm. Taylor has given me and Cmdr. Russ Horn information that has connected K'Rass and the bombings of the power plant and the planting of the bombs at the other plants... ::hears the CTO:: CTO: Patience, T'Lok.  I know how you feel.

XO_AQilla_Horn says:
CO:  Just what does Starfleet believe K'Rass is up to this time?  I mean the Admiral wouldn't have come all the way out here just for what happened on Wrigley’s.

OPS-Anari says:
:: Is concerned for the CTO as she feels his anger greatly increasing ::

Host CO_VanSickle says:
XO: I believe this video will shed some light on the subject.  Computer: Play file Taylor1.

CTO_Garta-Nmbarri says:
::does all in his power to suppress the anger, but is visibly shaking::

CEO_Bodine says:
:: makes a motion to the CO to be heard ::

TO_Lane says:
::glares at MO Johnson, but doesn't really see him:: MO Johnson: Don't touch me!  Get away from me!

FCO_Vince says:
::squeezing E'laina's hand much tighter, trying to keep his focus::

CSO_Jakiel says:
Thinks: At least we know who is behind this.  Now for the 'why'::

OPS-Anari says:
:: Begins to shake herself as she feels the increased anger from the CTO, as well as from Vince ::

CNS-McDonald says:
:: sits back and watches :: Detached :: 

OPS-Anari says:
~~~ FCO: Remember the Vulcan breathing exercise I taught you? ~~~

CTO_Garta-Nmbarri says:
::tries to concentrate on the video::

FCO_Vince says:
~~~OPS:  Yeah, but I also want to pay attention~~~

OPS-Anari says:
~~~ FCO: It will help to calm you without taking you away from the video ~~~

Host Gerry says:
ACTION:  the CO plays the video feed that the Admiral showed the CO and CIV earlier...

XO_AQilla_Horn says:
::watches the video::

CNS-McDonald says:
:: watches taking notes :: 

FCO_Vince says:
::watches while steadily and deeply breathing::

EO_Lt_T`Larsis says:
:: with all the emotions in the room it starts to become difficult for her to maintain control but summoning her strength she remains collected::

CEO_Bodine says:
<MO_Johnson>TO: You need to calm yourself you had a very serious fall. You need to lie still you are irritating your wounds. I am going to give you something to calm you down until Doctor Bodine can look over you some more.

XO_AQilla_Horn says:
::shakes her head::

CTO_Garta-Nmbarri says:
::sits and watches in disbelief, wondering how such treachery can exist::

OPS-Anari says:
:: Squeezes Vince's hand a little tighter, encouragingly and hopes he does not sense her trembling as well ::

XO_AQilla_Horn says:
::makes a note ... why mention the Vulcans in particular::

CSO_Jakiel says:
::Watches as she screens out the tensions in the room::

Host CO_VanSickle says:
All: As you can see, K'Rass is now mixed up with, or is leading, an interstellar terrorist organization hell bent on conquering the Federation and replacing it with a totalitarian regime.  They have a super weapon that can kill an entire planet by removing its atmosphere.

TO_Lane says:
::screams louder:: Johnson: No! Get away from me! ::starts see things flying around her head:: What are those things?!  Get them away from me.

OPS-Anari says:
:: Now begins to understand why the Admiral reacted as he did with her ::

EO_Lt_T`Larsis says:
::watches the video calmly::

XO_AQilla_Horn says:
CO:  Sir, I'm puzzled ... He mentioned the Federation and the Vulcans ... Why the Vulcans in particular?

CEO_Bodine says:
<Med Staff> :: Nurse Johnson Summons Doctor Sopok and they prepare a light sedative ::

Host CO_VanSickle says:
XO: I'm not sure.  Maybe it was his little rivalry with T'Paula.

CEO_Bodine says:
CO: Captain, I find it hard to believe K’Rass would attack a recreational facility without provocation sir. I have my doubts.

CSO_Jakiel says:
::Horrified by the means this K'Rass intends on using.  Thinks we were all lucky we weren't exterminated::

XO_AQilla_Horn says:
CO:  Perhaps ... but one other thing.  This isn't K'Rass's style.  I haven't heard of him hitting anything this big before.

CTO_Garta-Nmbarri says:
::looks at the CEO:: CEO: You don’t know K’Rass like we do.  He is withOUT honor.  He needs no provocation.

FCO_Vince says:
::whispers to T'Lok::  CTO:  I though without the Gul, K'Rass wouldn't have the pull to be an effective threat.  I was wrong, BIG time.

TO_Lane says:
::Pulls up on the restraints, screaming... then everything goes black as she passes out::

Host CO_VanSickle says:
XO: Nor have I, but that's why I was thinking he might be mixed up in this terrorist group, but the video clearly showed K'Rass' face.

XO_AQilla_Horn says:
CO:  I'm beginning to suspect something much bigger ... but what?

CTO_Garta-Nmbarri says:
::trembling whisper:: FCO: That has me worried as well.  But, I know of others that might prod K’Rass on a bit.

Host CO_VanSickle says:
All: I'm not sure if you all have read your Earth History books when you all were in the Academy, but this sounds a lot like Al Queda.

MO_Ens_Trelain says:
:: nods ::

EO_Lt_T`Larsis says:
::nods::

FCO_Vince says:
::whispering::  CTO:  He may not be the top dog in charge of it, then

CSO_Jakiel says:
::Makes a note to look up that group::

Host CO_VanSickle says:
All: They wanted to establish an international Muslim government after trying to topple the United States, albeit unsuccessfully.

CTO_Garta-Nmbarri says:
::whispers:: FCO: That is what I fear the most.

FCO_Vince says:
::nods::

XO_AQilla_Horn says:
::nods:: CO:  So, what orders did the Admiral leave, Sir?

CEO_Bodine says:
::sits back::

Host CO_VanSickle says:
All: From information given to us by Cmdr. Russ Horn's brother, Ryan, we have the location of K'Rass' base.

EO_Lt_T`Larsis says:
Self: Great!

XO_AQilla_Horn says:
::listens to the CO::

CSO_Jakiel says:
Thinks:  That should be good.  Now we can do something about him.

Host CO_VanSickle says:
All: We're going to try to go to his base, once relief arrives, and cut this organization off at the head.

MO_Ens_Trelain says:
:: makes sure she has everything down on the PADD in front of her ::

CNS-McDonald says:
:: hasn't heard that name in awhile :: thinks back to serving with Ryan :: 

FCO_Vince says:
CO:  What's the chance that they might have more than one of those weapons?

CTO_Garta-Nmbarri says:
::whispers:: FCO: If K’Rass is part of some larger terrorist organization, and if he is one of the top dogs, then he wont be there. 

FCO_Vince says:
CTO:  Obviously

Host CO_VanSickle says:
FCO: Something that big, they might only have a prototype right now.

FCO_Vince says:
CO:  If we're quick enough

XO_AQilla_Horn says:
CO:  So the thinking is, if we take out one part of the organization, the part ran by K'Rass, it might bring out whoever is really behind this?

Host CO_VanSickle says:
XO: And if he doesn't, I'll kill him myself.

OPS-Anari says:
:: Senses the truth behind the CO's comment ::

XO_AQilla_Horn says:
CO:  With respect, Sir, I think you might have to get in line ...

FCO_Vince says:
CO:  With all due respect, you may have to take a number on that

CTO_Garta-Nmbarri says:
CO: What makes you think you can even get close enough to K’Rass to kill him?

OPS-Anari says:
:: Feels the tension rise again throughout the room ::

Host CO_VanSickle says:
All: Remember, everyone, rank has privileges.

FCO_Vince says:
::smirks, briefly::

OPS-Anari says:
:: Raises and eyebrow at the CO's comment ::

CEO_Bodine says:
::laughs::

Host CO_VanSickle says:
All: The most senior members of this crew might have to form a raiding party.

EO_Lt_T`Larsis says:
::sitting quietly so no one can glare or reprimand her::

XO_AQilla_Horn says:
CO:  But Lt Garta-Nmbarri brings up a good point.  How are we going to get close enough to kill him?

FCO_Vince says:
CO/all:  Another thing to keep in mind...

FCO_Vince says:
All:  We may take out the base, but the weapon could still be out there.  We may have to engage it at some point...

Host CO_VanSickle says:
FCO: What is it, Vince?

FCO_Vince says:
All:  I've got a thought on that...

Host CO_VanSickle says:
FCO: Do tell...

FCO_Vince says:
All:  Take out just one ship, and it shouldn't be able to work

XO_AQilla_Horn says:
::nods:: FCO:  A valid point.  CO:  A multi-pronged attack ... one to go after the base, another to go after the weapon could work

CTO_Garta-Nmbarri says:
CO: But, what kind of effect will a weapon such as this have in the vacuum of space?

Host CO_VanSickle says:
XO: Yes, I'll advise the admiral.  Speaking of the admiral, I asked him to get me a task force of two Galaxy class vessels and three Akiras.

Host ADM_Taylor says:
::enters the briefing room:::

Host CO_VanSickle says:
All: Atten-HUT!

XO_AQilla_Horn says:
::sees the Admiral enter::

CTO_Garta-Nmbarri says:
::rises to attention::

CNS-McDonald says:
:: snaps to :: 

MO_Ens_Trelain says:
:: snaps to attention ::

FCO_Vince says:
::was about to speak, then stops and stands::

CEO_Bodine says:
::stands in salute and respect at the brace::

Host ADM_Taylor says:
ALL:  ::waves off the attention::  As you were, everyone.

MO_Ens_Trelain says:
:: sits back down ::

CNS-McDonald says:
:: sits back down :: 

Host CO_VanSickle says:
ADM: Sir, the crew is learning of the connection between K'Rass and the bombings.

XO_AQilla_Horn says:
::retakes her seat::

FCO_Vince says:
::sits again, now realizing he still has a 'death grip' on E'Laina's hand::

EO_Lt_T`Larsis says:
Self:  This does not look good. A weapon that I know nothing about...........voice trails off when the Admiral enters::

CEO_Bodine says:
::offers his chair to the Admiral and moves back to the wall::

XO_AQilla_Horn says:
CO:  Sir, what we need is information.

CTO_Garta-Nmbarri says:
::Looks back to the CO:: CO: Sir, with a weapon of such power, if its destroyed while on another ship in space, will it be powerful enough to destroy one of our ships as well?

Host CO_VanSickle says:
ADM: Sir, do you know the answer to that?

Host ADM_Taylor says:
CEO:  Thank you, Mister Bodine.  I'd prefer to stand right now.  Very kind.  ::nods::

FCO_Vince says:
CO:  Although it could easily destroy us in one shot, I seriously doubt it could get a clear shot at us ::pride showing through::

Host CO_VanSickle says:
FCO: And that's what I'm counting from you.

Host ADM_Taylor says:
CO:  Yes, I do.  ALL:  It's engineering is a subspace ionic pulse.  It will cut through our shields like a hot knife through butter.

FCO_Vince says:
::winks and nods::

CTO_Garta-Nmbarri says:
ADM: Sounds like a suicide mission to me, Sir.

EO_Lt_T`Larsis says:
::raises eyebrow at the Admirals statement::

XO_AQilla_Horn says:
Adm:  Something that size would take a while to charge to firing capacity ... what we need is to get to it just after it's been fired ...

FCO_Vince says:
XO:  Or before it's ready to fire

Host ADM_Taylor says:
CTO:  We're hoping it won't come to that, but a great captain once said "Risk is our business," Lieutenant.

XO_AQilla_Horn says:
FCO:  Exactly

Host ADM_Taylor says:
XO:  Agreed, but we don't know enough about it to tell you that.

CTO_Garta-Nmbarri says:
ADM: I have pledged my life to the safety and survival of the Federation.  I stand by that pledge, Sir.

Host CO_VanSickle says:
All: And remember, it took four ships to tow it to that doomed planet.

EO_Lt_T`Larsis says:
::raises her hand::

XO_AQilla_Horn says:
CO:  Which comes back to Vince's suggestion ... we take out the tow ships ...

FCO_Vince says:
All:  And to power it.  I feel like I've seen this before somewhere...

FCO_Vince says:
::thinking hard::

Host ADM_Taylor says:
CTO:  ::nods approvingly::  Well said, Lieutenant.  Well said indeed.

XO_AQilla_Horn says:
ALL:  It's power source could be external ... It certainly would make sense.  Something that size would need generators to create the power ...

Host ADM_Taylor says:
XO:  We can confirm that.  It seems to be powered by the ships that tow it.

EO_Lt_T`Larsis says:
Self: This looks like a job for some brains in my department

CSO_Jakiel says:
::Never being familiar with anything of this size, wonders where to start researching on how to stop it.  And very little info at that::

XO_AQilla_Horn says:
Adm:  Then without it's escort it's useless ... at least it's a place to start.

Host CO_VanSickle says:
CEO/EO: Bodine, T'Larsis, work on a way to jam the power transfers to that weapon.

FCO_Vince says:
CO:  Sir, I just remembered something... may I bring something up on the viewer?

EO_Lt_T`Larsis says:
CO: ::nods:: Yes sir.

Host CO_VanSickle says:
FCO: Go ahead, Vince.

CEO_Bodine says:
CO: Captain, it would help if we had specs available on that weapon

Host CO_VanSickle says:
CTO: T'Lok, you and Lane, when she's well, bring up a battle plan.

Host ADM_Taylor says:
ACTION:  a hail comes in...

CEO_Bodine says:
CO: Is that possible?

Host CO_VanSickle says:
ADM: Sir, could you do that for us?

FCO_Vince says:
Computer:  Access record of U.S.S. Voyager, Stardate 50984.3 and display

CTO_Garta-Nmbarri says:
CO: Will do, Sir.

Host ADM_Taylor says:
CO:  Specs?  No, we don't have enough from the data we have.  You have what I have.

EO_Lt_T`Larsis says:
CEO: We will make it possible.

CNS-McDonald says:
:: looks at the screen :: 

Host CO_VanSickle says:
CEO: You'll just have to make due with our intel.

OPS-Anari says:
<INN> :: Receives a hail from a merchant vessel responding to the emergency... ::

CEO_Bodine says:
EO: I can't guarantee it will work not everyone makes planet killers every day we wont know if it will work till we try it. But will do my best.

OPS-Anari says:
<INN> *CO* Inn to Commander VanSickle

Host CO_VanSickle says:
FCO: You think this thing is similar to the one the 8742 did?  *Inn*: Go Phil!

OPS-Anari says:
<INN> *CO*: We are receiving a hail from a merchant vessel responding to the emergency here.  It is the Valdez, out of Alpha Centauri

FCO_Vince says:
CO:  Look at the formation... it's a similar principle, the converging of energy into a massive beam

Host CO_VanSickle says:
*Inn*: Patch the hail to the view screen in here.

OPS-Anari says:
<INN>:: Initiates the patch sending the hail to the view screen in the briefing room ::   *CO* Should be on screen now, sir

FCO_Vince says:
<Myrthael>:  ::at the helm::

XO_AQilla_Horn says:
FCO:  I didn't think that Species 8472 used subspace ionics for weapons ...

CSO_Jakiel says:
::Listens intently to the discussions while watching the screen::

Host CO_VanSickle says:
COMM: Valdez: This is Cmdr. Eric VanSickle of the Starship Scorpius.  I understand you've responded to the emergency here?

FCO_Vince says:
CO:  No, but it may give us insights into how to disable their ability to destroy a planet

FCO_Vince says:
CO:  'Their' referring to K'Rass new friends, of course

Host ADM_Taylor says:
<VCO_Anthoupoulis>  COMM:  Scorpius: CO:  That's correct, Captain.  We're pleased to be of assistance.  How do you want us to deploy?  I'm 5 minutes out.

XO_AQilla_Horn says:
FCO:  Look into it.  See if there is anything we can use.

FCO_Vince says:
::nods to the XO::

Host CO_VanSickle says:
COMM: Anthoupoulis: Do a standard approach to the planet and report when you're in orbit.  I'll advise when you arrive.

Host ADM_Taylor says:
<VCO_Anthoupoulis> COMM: Scorpius:  CO:  Will Do, Captain, Valdez out.  ::closes channel::

Host CO_VanSickle says:
::turns back to the crew:: CSO/FCO: Vince, Jakiel, work with each other comparing our intel on the weapon to the Voyager's logs on 8472.

CEO_Bodine says:
::gestures to the CO:: CO: Sir, see if they will need any medical supplies from us. We are low but I might be able to find some reserves if they need more.

CSO_Jakiel says:
CO:  Yessir.  ::Nods to the FCO::

FCO_Vince says:
::nods to the CSO::

CNS-McDonald says:
CO: I'll clear my schedule for the next while. JUST in case

Host ADM_Taylor says:
CO:  If I may make a suggestion, I'd leave some officers behind to oversee relief and press after K'Rass.  Time is of the essence if he's planning on using that monstrosity again.

Host CO_VanSickle says:
CEO: Being a merchant ship, they might have replenishments.

OPS-Anari says:
CO: Sir, my department can coordinate with them regarding what is needed planetside with them regarding supplies she carries and what is needed planetside.

Host CO_VanSickle says:
OPS: How many officers can you spare staying behind?

Host ADM_Taylor says:
CO:  This is extremely fortuitous.

EO_Lt_T`Larsis says:
Self: Species 8472 is from fluidic space and they used a planet killer that was isolitic if memory serves.

OPS-Anari says:
CO: At least several dozen

Host CO_VanSickle says:
OPS: Assign them to the Valdez and have them assist her crew with the relief until more ships arrive.

CEO_Bodine says:
CO: Right sir but with all due respect they don’t have the technology in our advanced sickbay I’m sure .. Supplies are one thing but they may need surgical tools replicated maybe. Couldn't hurt to ask sir.

OPS-Anari says:
:: Nods at the CO's statement ::

Host CO_VanSickle says:
CEO: I'll ask Dr. Garta-Nmbarri to talk to the Valdez's medics.

CEO_Bodine says:
::nods::

MO_Ens_Trelain says:
:: listens to the CEO and CO talking about medical supplies ::

EO_Lt_T`Larsis says:
Self: No wait if they have access to isolitic and subspace weapons and have combined them.............

CNS-McDonald says:
EO: then we are in DEEEP trouble.

CTO_Garta-Nmbarri says:
CO/ADM: Sirs, are any of our allies privy to this information? If so, I could contact the Klingons and see if they are willing to assist us.

Host CO_VanSickle says:
ADM: It would be nice to have a few Vor'Cha's and a K'Vort.

EO_Lt_T`Larsis says:
::looks up:: CNS: Sir?? Yes sir we are in deep trouble.

Host ADM_Taylor says:
CTO:  Not at this juncture, but the information is being hand-carried to them in event we fail, Lieutenant.

CTO_Garta-Nmbarri says:
ADM: My offer stands at your disposal, Sir.

Host CO_VanSickle says:
ADM: Sir, how is that task force that I requested coming?

XO_AQilla_Horn says:
ADM:  Cloaking technology could also be useful ...

FCO_Vince says:
CO/ADM:  I have a funny feeling they'd be all too happy to help take out K'Rass, unless of course they feel he's too unworthy of dying at their hands

CNS-McDonald says:
XO: are you suggesting?

Host ADM_Taylor says:
CO:  I have been able to arrange for your 3 Akiras.  The Galaxy-class are not near enough to help in time, but there were two other ambassador-class cruisers.

Host ADM_Taylor says:
CTO:  Understood, Lieutenant, but I don't want this on open frequencies.  Note I said hand-carried, much as I did to you...

Host ADM_Taylor says:
XO:  Commander, that is a direct violation of the treaty of Algeron.  Bad idea just now.

CTO_Garta-Nmbarri says:
ADM: Understood, Sir.

Host CO_VanSickle says:
ADM: And I hope the Klingons are not getting this message via a Romulan Warbird.

Host ADM_Taylor says:
CO:  ::chuckles::  I'm not at liberty to say, but no, they are not.

EO_Lt_T`Larsis says:
::makes notes on her PADD to research the files::

XO_AQilla_Horn says:
Adm:  Sir, are you suggesting that the Romulans are somehow involved in all this?

FCO_Vince says:
::thinking hard again::

CTO_Garta-Nmbarri says:
FCO: Too bad we can’t get a Sovereign class or two to assist us.

FCO_Vince says:
~~~OPS:  I know of one Klingon ship that could be here immediately, if I can reach them.  I've had difficulty as of late~~~

CEO_Bodine says:
CO: Sir, may I be dismissed I have this project to work on now and I have to make a round in sickbay as well sir.

Host ADM_Taylor says:
XO:  <spoken in Romulan>  Not at all, sub-commander.  With the new peace between the Federation and the Empire, I wouldn't advise making those kinds of waves.  You DID see what I was driving, did you not?

OPS-Anari says:
:: Looks over to the FCO ::  ~~~ FCO: Are you talking about the ship that serves your house? ~~~

Host CO_VanSickle says:
CEO: Dismissed.

FCO_Vince says:
::nods and winks to Anari::

XO_AQilla_Horn says:
Adm: <Spoken in Romulan> Indeed I did ... but there are certain factions among my people who do not agree with this peace .........

CEO_Bodine says:
::nods, and moves out of the briefing room very discretely::

EO_Lt_T`Larsis says:
::raises eyebrow at hearing the Romulan language::

Host CO_VanSickle says:
::didn't understand what the Admiral said, but heard the Romulan word for "sub-commander"::

EO_Lt_T`Larsis says:
::gets up and leaves quickly::

OPS-Anari says:
:: Feels a bit of tension between the Admiral and the XO ::

CSO_Jakiel says:
::Only picks up a couple of the Romulan words::

Host CO_VanSickle says:
ADM/XO: Excuse me, sir, AQilla, but this is a Romulan-language-free zone.

FCO_Vince says:
::chuckles slightly at the CO's statement::

Host ADM_Taylor says:
XO:  <Romulan> Indeed, sub-commander.  And we should give them no excuses at present. ::makes a sign that the matter is closed::

OPS-Anari says:
:: Shudders suddenly as if feeling a cold chill run down her spine ::

XO_AQilla_Horn says:
::nods to the Admiral::

Host CO_VanSickle says:
ADM: Sir, we all have personal favors to ask with different people across the galaxy on different ships.  Would it be possible to call in those?

FCO_Vince says:
CO:  Sir, I know my ship would come at once if I asked, however, I've haven't been able to reach them lately.  I was starting to get concerned, but I can try again

Host ADM_Taylor says:
CO:  Apologies, Commander.  I was trying to keep in practice.  ::smiles::

XO_AQilla_Horn says:
::smiles at the Admiral:: Adm:  And you did very well ...

Host ADM_Taylor says:
ALL:  did you not hear what I said?  NO transmissions.

CTO_Garta-Nmbarri says:
::gets a concerned look on his face::

Host CO_VanSickle says:
ADM: Can we dispatch probes to those people?

FCO_Vince says:
ADM:  Then how do we contact those ships you were talking about?

Host ADM_Taylor says:
CO:  No, same reason, unless you want to ride in it.  I've ridden in one.  It's not a fun thing to do.

CTO_Garta-Nmbarri says:
ADM: I had some personal issues that I needed to communicate with my mothers family on the Klingon Home world, will this interfere with my doing so?

Host ADM_Taylor says:
FCO:  I have already taken care of that...

Host CO_VanSickle says:
All: Well, you heard the admiral.  Radio silence once we've hit the trail.

XO_AQilla_Horn says:
::nods::

Host CO_VanSickle says:
All: Dismissed!
