Episode 3:  Traitor's ruse

Host ADM_Taylor says:
Previously on the USS Scorpius:

Host ADM_Taylor says:
the USS Scorpius had been ambushed by 11 K'Tinga-class cruisers that should not have known the location of the task force.

Host ADM_Taylor says:
The Saber-class USS Tripoli was disabled and lost 30% of her crew while the Saber-class Sha'riar was lost with all hands in the ensuing battle.

Host ADM_Taylor says:
The fleet was about to retreat when ordered to stand and fight by Admiral Taylor...

Host ADM_Taylor says:
Task Force Zulu forced the 5 remaining enemy vessels into retreat.

Host ADM_Taylor says:
Now something has come to the attention of the Admiral on the USS typhoon, where Captain VanSickle has already beamed over for a strategy session over a deck of cards...

@ADM: I try to be, sir.  Who's our guest?

CTO_Garta-Nmbarri says:
#*Ts_CEO* Chief, I want those shields powered up and ready to go in 15 minutes, and make sure that the weapons and operations systems are up to at least 80% by that point.

CO:  Are we all here?

OPS-Anari says:
FCO: Nice chair

XO_AQilla_Horn says:
::grins:: CTO:  Indeed it is.

CEO_Bodine says:
:: leaves tactical control after re-diverting power to the shield matrix ::

FCO_Vince says:
::smiling::  OPS:  I should go.  ::steals a quick kiss before dashing into the briefing room::

Host CO_VanSickle says:
::sees the other ship commanders in the room, so starts the meeting:: All: Commanders, lieutenants, first, may I introduce Capt. Aaron Johnson of the USS Typhoon.  ::motions to Johnson::

XO_AQilla_Horn says:
::nods to Johnson::

OPS-Anari says:
:: Smiles at the FCO as she watches him leave the bridge for the meeting ::

Host ADM_Taylor says:
<Capt_Johnson> ALL:  Pleasure.  Wish it was under better circumstances.

CSO_Jakiel says:
::Sets it to compare stars found to normal composition specs.  ::

FCO_Vince says:
::nods::  Johnson:  Captain

Host CO_VanSickle says:
ADM: The floor is yours, sir.

Host ADM_Taylor says:
CO:  Thank you, Captain.

OPS-Anari says:
Bridge All: Let's stay sharp people!  We don't need any unexpected surprises!

CEO_Bodine says:
TL: Bridge.. :: feels the lift begin to move ::

Host ADM_Taylor says:
ALL:  The task force has been betrayed and our pursuit is known.  I had hoped to catch K'Rass unawares, but sadly, that is no longer possible.

CNS_McDonald says:
::perks up :: admiral: what’s your idea?

Host ADM_Taylor says:
ALL:  The traitor is in the brig of the Typhoon at this time.  I have gained the name of his contact...and it troubles me, and I believe it will you as well.

Host CO_VanSickle says:
::listens::

Host ADM_Taylor says:
::looks at the CNS::  CNS:  I'm coming to that.

FCO_Vince says:
::relieved that the traitor has already been identified and caught::

XO_AQilla_Horn says:
::listens to the Admiral ... thinking her idea just might work after all::

Host ADM_Taylor says:
ALL:  Perhaps you'll recall the name Gul Dumot.

CNS_McDonald says:
the name doesn't ring a bell :: 

CTO_Garta-Nmbarri says:
::looks puzzled::

CSO_Jakiel says:
::Eyes blur again and she shakes her head to dispel the fuzzies::

Host CO_VanSickle says:
::grrs at the name::

FCO_Vince says:
::ponders, not bells or whistles::

CTO_Garta-Nmbarri says:
ADM: Doesn’t ring a bell to me at the moment, sir.

FCO_Vince says:
::shrugs::

Host ADM_Taylor says:
CO:  I see some of your officers are new.  Please explain it to them.

OPS-Anari says:
:: Senses the CSO and looks over to her ::  CSO: You alright?

Host CO_VanSickle says:
All: He's the Cardassian "partner" of K'Rass.

XO_AQilla_Horn says:
ADM:  I thought Dumot was dead ...

FCO_Vince says:
CO:  You mean, the NEW partner.  The one I knew wasn't called Dumot

Host ADM_Taylor says:
XO:  Apparently not.  I don't understand it either.

CEO_Bodine says:
:: enters the bridge ::

CSO_Jakiel says:
::Re-scrolls the data to see what she missed and makes another bundle::  OPS:  Having problems concentrating.  I should probably be in bed...but...anyway, here's another batch.

OPS-Anari says:
CSO:  Can I help in any way?

Host CO_VanSickle says:
All: Dumot is one of his aliases.  We all know him as someone else, but his name slips my mind.

Host ADM_Taylor says:
FCO:  We believe it is the same individual, at any rate.

CSO_Jakiel says:
OPS:  I don't think so.  Had food poisoning and it'll take time to get my energy back up.  I just need to rest and eat.

CSO_Jakiel says:
::Smiles thinly::  OPS:  But thanks.

Host ADM_Taylor says:
ALL:  What you need to know is that the stakes have just been raised.  He's not a criminal in the Cardassian Empire.

OPS-Anari says:
:: Nods ::   CSO: I understand.  I can help to make things easier for you, though, if you would allow me

CEO_Bodine says:
*CNS*: You will be happy to know Commander, I have increased torpedo acurcy in the Nebula as well as I took replicators offline in all unassigned quarters and redeverted themm to shields. I didn’t really ask but everyone was busy and given the last fight i figured we needed it. :: smiles ::

Host ADM_Taylor says:
ALL:  It is likely that he will retreat into Cardassian Territory to escape us, and the Cardassians have shown him safe haven in the past.

OPS-Anari says:
:: Raises and approached the CSO ::

Host CO_VanSickle says:
All: Which means, folks, all bets are off.  These terrorists have the backing of the Cardassian Union.  It's Iraq, Iran and Afghanistan, only 360 years later.

CNS_McDonald says:
:: taps his commbadge:: *CEO* Acknowledged.. McDonald out.

CSO_Jakiel says:
OPS:  How do you mean?  If you have a nice big steak dinner up your sleeve...that would help.

OPS-Anari says:
:: Looks over to the CEO ::   CEO: Thank you, Chief.  The CNS is in a meeting at the moment and I have the bridge

Host ADM_Taylor says:
ALL:  Captain VanSickle is unfortunately correct.

CEO_Bodine says:
CSO: Let me see that data could I? LL walks over to Science 2 ::

OPS-Anari says:
CSO:  May I?  :: Takes off her gloves ::

XO_AQilla_Horn says:
ADM:  What we need is one of their vessels ... a way to get in undetected ...

FCO_Vince says:
CO:  Not much of a backing thanks to the Dominion

Host ADM_Taylor says:
ALL:  Unless we can stop him before he gets to Cardassian territory.  We have a small window of opportunity here, and it's a dangerous ploy I have in mind.

CSO_Jakiel says:
CEO:  Sure.  ::Tries to focus on the console.  Directs current data to Science two::  CEO:  You should have it now.

Host ADM_Taylor says:
XO:  you're reading my mind, Commander.  Wait for it...

Host CO_VanSickle says:
ADM: All out assault on K'Rass and company?

OPS-Anari says:
:: Places her hand, hovering over the CSO and moves it over her torso, stopping at her abdomen ::

Host ADM_Taylor says:
ALL:  He does NOT know that we have captured his spy.  We could lure him to someplace to capture him with the right bait.

Host ADM_Taylor says:
CO:  Not yet, I fear.

OPS-Anari says:
:: Feels the pain as she receives it from the CSO, the weakness, and swallows hard, her eyes closed ::

XO_AQilla_Horn says:
ADM:  Use his own people to trap him ... nice ...

CEO_Bodine says:
:: looking over his sholder :: CSO: thank you. Have you found anything yourself yet?

Host ADM_Taylor says:
XO:  you catch on quickly, Mister Horn.

Host CO_VanSickle says:
Self: Hayman's the cheese.  K'Rass is a very big rat.

OPS-Anari says:
:: Removes her hand from the CSO, and stands briefly still in pain ::    CSO: That should help

Host ADM_Taylor says:
All: that bait needs to be someone familiar to him...someone that he'd risk coming out of hiding for...

CSO_Jakiel says:
CEO:  No, not yet, but the data takes time to come in.

Host CO_VanSickle says:
::wonders if he means me::

OPS-Anari says:
:: Takes a very deep breath and moves back to the big chair ::

FCO_Vince says:
::looks at CO::

CSO_Jakiel says:
::Feels a little more invigorated::  OPS:  That was almost as helpful as a nice dinner.  What species are you?

XO_AQilla_Horn says:
ADM:  He probably would if the CO were the bait ... but I don't like the idea of exposing the Captain

CEO_Bodine says:
CSO: Can we remote control the probes send them where  we want?

OPS-Anari says:
CSO: I'm part Minaran, part Ullian

Host CO_VanSickle says:
::stomach is starting to knot up, now XO is thinking the same thing::

CSO_Jakiel says:
CEO: Yes, we should be able to, but that will disrupt all the settings I have and the data is still coming in.

OPS-Anari says:
CSO: You'll still have to eat, though...   :: Smiles at the CSO ::

Host ADM_Taylor says:
CO:  I won't ask you, Captain.  I'll go.

CTO_Garta-Nmbarri says:
XO: But then who would you suggest?

Host ADM_Taylor says:
ALL:  Me.

OPS-Anari says:
:: Feels better now and can concentrate ::

CSO_Jakiel says:
OPS:  Thank you.  That was helpful. I'm only vaguely aware of those two species.

XO_AQilla_Horn says:
ADM:  You?  With all due respect, Sir, you are a flag officer ...

FCO_Vince says:
ADM:  With all due respect, Admiral, why would he care about you?

Host CO_VanSickle says:
ADM: Sir, why you?  He doesn't know you from Adam.  It's me he wants.

CTO_Garta-Nmbarri says:
ADM: With all due respect, Admiral, we cannot allow you to do this.  your safety is paramount to this missions success.

Host ADM_Taylor says:
CTO:  It didn't look that way to me.

OPS-Anari says:
~~~ CSO: You are Betazoid...you and I can chat telepathically, but you are unable to sense me ~~~

Host ADM_Taylor says:
CO:  You give yourself too much credit, and not enough to me.  ::smiles::

CTO_Garta-Nmbarri says:
ADM: You are the head to this missions body, sir.

Host ADM_Taylor says:
<Capt_Johnson> ADM:  That's suicide, Tom!

Host CO_VanSickle says:
ADM: Whose ship has he been terrorizing over the years, sir?

OPS-Anari says:
:: Senses tension from the meeting room ::

CEO_Bodine says:
CSO: Your department you call. But there is nothing out here in the middle of this thing. Let send a probe toward the tritium on the other edge of this thing. Besides I’m bored.

Host ADM_Taylor says:
CTO:  No, I deliberately set your Captain in charge, Mister Garta-Nmbarri.

Host CO_VanSickle says:
ADM: And who was about to kill him over a year ago?

XO_AQilla_Horn says:
ADM:  Admiral, you are too valuable to risk ...

CSO_Jakiel says:
~~~OPS:  Thank goodness!! Much easier.  Probe data is showing a large concentration of tritium at the outer edge of this system.  The captain needs to know.~~~

FCO_Vince says:
ADM:  There's on other things that's confusing me... Yes Only One...

Host ADM_Taylor says:
CO:  And who has dogged him at every turn for 15 years?

FCO_Vince says:
CO:  You killed him... didn't you?

OPS-Anari says:
~~~ CSO: Please inform him immediately ~~~

CSO_Jakiel says:
CEO:  Take a look at the tritium readings.  They're higher than normal.

Host CO_VanSickle says:
FCO: I got the Gul, or so I thought.

Host ADM_Taylor says:
All right, if not me, then who?

CTO_Garta-Nmbarri says:
ADM: I volunteer to go.  K`Rass knows me, but at least I am Klingon, I might stand a better chance of surviving if caught.

Host CO_VanSickle says:
ADM: Me.

XO_AQilla_Horn says:
All:  Wait ... there may be a way to trick him out of hiding ...

CEO_Bodine says:
CSO: I agree I think we should investigate, we're getting nothing here.

Host CO_VanSickle says:
ADM: I want that Klingon's head on my mantle so bad, I can taste it!
