"Guess Who's Coming to Dinner?"

Host CO_VanSickle says:
Previously on the USS Scorpius...

Host CO_VanSickle says:
Six pirate vessels attacked the Scorpius.  They caused much damage on our heroes, but the Scorpius was able to disable all six.

Host CO_VanSickle says:
Capt. VanSickle was upset at the fact there was no Romulan reinforcements.

Host CO_VanSickle says:
After demanding to speak with Cmdr. T'Karda, the Falconwrath appeared, with Sub Cmdr. S'Riak in command.

Host CO_VanSickle says:
During the battle, Ens. Kevlar perished to an aortic rupture following an explosion in the science console.  Lt. Bodine has transferred to science after a run in with the phaser coils.

Host CO_VanSickle says:
Bynar Lt. j.g.'s Cap and Caq have been transferred to the Scorpius to take over as co-CEO.

Host CO_VanSickle says:
Sub Cmdr. S'Riak and his staff are now meeting with the Scorpius' senior staff in the conference room.

ACTION:  The Falconwrath decloaks on the port side of the Scorpius.

XO_AQilla_Horn says:
CO:  I suppose someone really should go meet the Romulans when they beam over ...

Host CO_VanSickle says:
XO: Good idea.  TO: Ensign, could you do the honors?

FCO_Lane says:

Host Sub_Cmdr_S`Riak says:
@COM: Scorpius:  This Is Sub Cmdr S'Riak... I am ready to transfer over... please 
respond.

CMO_Garta-Nmbarri says:
FCO: Well, I wish I could say everything is going to be fine but I don't know yet.  Somebody has messed with her head.

TO_Sadek says:
::is tempted to mention that the Romulan may be insulted if an Ensign met them but leaves for the transporter room::

XO_AQilla_Horn says:
CO:  Sir, I think it might be better if I met them.  They may get offended by an Ensign greeting them.

Host CO_VanSickle says:

XO_AQilla_Horn says:
::hastens to the Transporter Room::

XO_AQilla_Horn says:
::enters just as S'Riak is beamed over::

CMO_Garta-Nmbarri says:
FCO: Who?  I really wish I knew.  Dr. Sopok is running some tests to see if there are any signatures left from the treatment.  Why?  Since she tried to damage the ship, that must be what the saboteur wanted.

Host Sub_Cmdr_S`Riak says:
TO:  Where is your Capt?  Am I not worthy of his attention?

Host Sub_Cmdr_S`Riak says:
::Face hardens are the face of his companions.::

TO_Sadek says:
::sees the XO arrive and waits for her to handle the diplomatic incident::

FCO_Lane says:
CMO: This is stupid, this whole thing.  The pirates, the terrorists we faced... now someone has played with E'laina's brain turning her into some kind of weapon?  It's crazy.

XO_AQilla_Horn says:
S'Riak:  My apologies Sub-Commander.  I am Commander AQilla Horn, the Executive Officer of the Scorpius.  If you will please follow me I will take you to the Captain.

Host Sub_Cmdr_S`Riak says:
XO:  Maybe I should be the one apologizing.  Obviously I'm an inconvenience... SF command did tell you that this is a joint venture correct?

CEO_Caq says:
@COMM: Scorpius: Coming into range requesting permission

CEO_Cap says:
@COMM: Scorpius: 010000110110000101110000 and 010000110110000101110001

CEO_Cap says:
@COMM: Scorpius: to come aboard

XO_AQilla_Horn says:
::nods:: S'Riak:  They did.  ::motions for him to follow her::

CIV_Serok says:

<OPS_Everett> COM: shuttle:  This is the Scorpius, go ahead.

Host Sub_Cmdr_S`Riak says:
XO:  So you disrespect me because of my Commander.   I should disrespect you because your Capt only thinks I'm worthy of being met by an Ens.

Host Sub_Cmdr_S`Riak says:
XO:  Lead on Cmdr.  Lets get this over with.

XO_AQilla_Horn says:
CO:  That is not the case.  He sent me to greet you, Sub-Commander.  And I agree ... let's get this over with.  ::walks down the corridor towards the TL::

CMO_Garta-Nmbarri says:
FCO: Believe me, I'm impatient for answers myself.  When E'Laina wakes up, she'll rely on people who know her to keep an eye on her.  I don't know how long it will take this programming to be reversed.

Host Sub_Cmdr_S`Riak says:
::Under his breath:: Self:  So much for cooperation.

Host CO_VanSickle says:
S'Riak: So, what would you like to discuss about our orders here?

Host Sub_Cmdr_S`Riak says:
ACTION:  Tactical sensors go haywire as it detects ships coming in off the starboard bow of the scorpius.. eight ships in all.   The four Romulan Warbirds go to red alert.

Host Sub_Cmdr_S`Riak says:
CO:  A plan of attack of course.  These pirates must be stopped.

CIV_Serok says:

Host CO_VanSickle says:
S'Riak: No more "bait"?

Host Sub_Cmdr_S`Riak says:
CMO:  Are you trying to ask me out for a date by looking at me like that?

Host Sub_Cmdr_S`Riak says:
CO:  Unless it's decided otherwise.

XO_AQilla_Horn says:
S'Riak:  You may be interested to know we have taken prisoners ...

TO_Sadek says:
<TO_T’rget>::nods:: CEO: I believe engineering could use your services immediately. Our CEO was killed in a recent pirate attack. Repairs are imperative as we are in Romulan territory

CMO_Garta-Nmbarri says:
Sub_Cmdr: No, I'm looking in your eyes to make certain you speak the truth.  I don't like being a sitting duck and I don't like a member of the crew dying in my arms because our back up refused to back us up.

CMO_Garta-Nmbarri says:
Sub_Cmdr: With all due respect of course.

Host Sub_Cmdr_S`Riak says:
CMO:  We were... ::coughs::  Unavoidably detained.

CEO_Cap says:
T'rget: We shall report to

CEO_Caq says:
T'rget: Main engineering immediately.

CMO_Garta-Nmbarri says:
Sub_Cmdr: Hmm, I hope the same doesn't happen to us sometime.

Host CO_VanSickle says:
CMO: Doctor...

Host Sub_Cmdr_S`Riak says:
::Smiles::  CMO:  Maybe a drink is in order after all.

CMO_Garta-Nmbarri says:
CO: Captain...

Host CO_VanSickle says:
CMO: Enough.

CMO_Garta-Nmbarri says:
Sub_Cmdr: I don't think so.  When we are finished here, I have a child to take care of.

TO_Sadek says:
<TO_P'zr> *CO*: Captain sensors are going chaotic.... we have.... Romulans pirates decloaking... I believe the Romulan vessel went to Red Alert!

CMO_Garta-Nmbarri says:
CO: Aye Sir, permission to return to my duties?

FCO_Lane says:
Sub_Cmdr: Yeah, so you told us, your former Commander chose to watch us get trashed... wanted to see us get burned.  And now we're supposed to trust you?

XO_AQilla_Horn says:
::overhears:: *TO_P'zr*:  Red Alert!

Host Sub_Cmdr_S`Riak says:
CO:  Now Capt... about these pirates...  This is what I propose....  My four Warbirds will come along side the pirate armada.... while the Scorpius comes at them from the front...  We will be cloaked and will take them by surprise...leaving you a chance to regroup.

CIV_Serok says:
:: stands immediately as red alert sounds and heads for the bridge ::

Host CO_VanSickle says:
CMO: Not yet.

FCO:  Lt ... ::gives her a warning glance::

FCO_Lane says:
::storms out of the conference room when she hears the red alert::

CEO_Cap says:
::both bynars give a nod simultaneously and exit the shuttle bay, entering the nearest turbolift and go down one level to deck 21::

Host CO_VanSickle says:
All: We have to get back to our duty stations.  As you heard, we have incoming bogies.  S'Riak: You'd best get back to your ship.

Host Sub_Cmdr_S`Riak says:
CO:  Can't... shields are up...

Host CO_VanSickle says:
S'Riak: Then we may need your help here.

Host CO_VanSickle says:
All: Duty stations, now!

Host Sub_Cmdr_S`Riak says:
ACTION:  A warning shot crosses the Scorpius bow.... the 2nd Romulan ship returns fire.

TO_Sadek says:
<T'rget> ::runs to the bridge::

::gets up and leaves::

FCO_Lane says:

XO_AQilla_Horn says:
TO: Bring all weapons on-line, Ensign.

CMO_Garta-Nmbarri says:
::crosses the bridge::

Host Sub_Cmdr_S`Riak says:
::Walks onto the bridge and stands at the back with his hands behind his back and just watches.::

FCO_Lane says:
::thinks, where do you think I am? but simply focus' on what is happening on the viewscreen and on sensors::

CMO_Garta-Nmbarri says:
FCO: When this is over, we will discuss other "crew" matters.

CMO_Garta-Nmbarri says:
::enters the turbolift::

Host CO_VanSickle says:
::enters bridge and takes "the chair"::

CEO_Cap says:
::enters main engineering and notices the red alert klaxons, quickly both bynars begin making speedy repairs as the ship is now in a battle situation::

FCO_Lane says:
::sees the incoming shot and takes the Scorpius hard to port to avoid the incoming shot::

XO_AQilla_Horn says:
CIV:  Do we still have the capability to record and program their shield frequencies into our torpedoes?

Host Sub_Cmdr_S`Riak says:
ACTION:  Quickly the pirate ships take up position around the small fleet.  They just wait.

CMO_Garta-Nmbarri says:
Turbolift: Sickbay!

FCO_Lane says:
CMO: Understood, Commander... ::calls back just barely understand the CMO's drift as she tries to concentrate on the pirates::

Host Sub_Cmdr_S`Riak says:
ACTION:  FCO Just misses the Falconwrath.

XO_AQilla_Horn says:
CO:  What are they doing?

TO_Sadek says:
<TO_P'zr> XO: All weapons and shields are operational Ma'am  ::thinks:: Self: I hope they stay that way.

Host CO_VanSickle says:
XO: The pirates or our guests?

CMO_Garta-Nmbarri says:
Self: That self-centered, egotistical son of.......::grunts::

FCO_Lane says:
XO: Surrounding us again, trying to herd us to where the want us, I'd bet.

XO_AQilla_Horn says:
CO:  Both ::grins at him::

TO_Sadek says:
P'zr: You are relieved... man TAC #2 please.

XO_AQilla_Horn says:
::nods:: CO:  Why haven't they fired ...

Host CO_VanSickle says:
XO: S'Riak can't get back to his ship because of the red alerts.

CIV_Serok says:
XO: Aye Commander.

Host CO_VanSickle says:
XO: Who?

FCO_Lane says:
::monitors the four Romulan ships' locations and watches the 8 surrounding ships:: 

Host Sub_Cmdr_S`Riak says:
::Is very interested to see how Starfleet Officers work... so unlike the Romulans... ::

XO_AQilla_Horn says:
CO:  Yes, I know that, Captain.  I'm just curious why the pirates haven't fired on us yet ... ::senses something is VERY wrong::

FCO_Lane says:
CO/XO: I suggest we take the offensive here, not wait for them to get the upper hand this time.

CIV_Serok says:
:: turns and looks at her console :: XO:  We still have 9 programmed to do so Commander.

CMO_Garta-Nmbarri says:
::exits the turbolift and heads for sickbay::

Host CO_VanSickle says:
OPS: Hail the pirates.

XO_AQilla_Horn says:
CIV:  Excellent.  Bring them on-line but do not fire yet ...

FCO_Lane says:
XO: They did fire... granted, it was a warning shot, but they fired.

XO_AQilla_Horn says:
FCO:  They are waiting for something, Lt.  I'm curious as to what.

Host Sub_Cmdr_S`Riak says:
::Hisses:: CO:  Why don't you fire?  If you won't, my ships will.

Host CO_VanSickle says:
S'Riak: No one is to fire unless fired upon.

Host Sub_Cmdr_S`Riak says:
::Raises eyebrows::  CO:  Really Capt.... I thought this was a Romulan Venture.

XO_AQilla_Horn says:
::turns on the Sub-Commander:: S'Riak:  Because they are waiting for something or someone.  We may yet net the "big fish" as the humans call it.  We need patience ...

CMO_Garta-Nmbarri says:
::enters sickbay::

CMO_Garta-Nmbarri says:
<Houlihan> ::looks up to see the CMO enter::

FCO_Lane says:
XO: Remember back at Tralfamdor?  Remember?  There were 19 of them there, we've faced 8 so far on this leg of our journey alone.  I think they are either trying to herd us into a trap, or waiting for reinforcements.

CMO_Garta-Nmbarri says:
<Houlihan> CMO: What's happening up there?

Host Sub_Cmdr_S`Riak says:
ACTION:  Suddenly 4 of the pirate ships train their weapons onto the scorpius... Aiming for the shields, they fire phasers.

XO_AQilla_Horn says:
TO:  Fire torpedoes!

CMO_Garta-Nmbarri says:
::enters her office::

FCO_Lane says:
XO: With all due respect, patience nearly got us all killed when we were waiting for the Romulans to help us out... ::trails off as she sees the incoming fire and begins an evasive pattern to avoid it::

Host CO_VanSickle says:
S'Riak: You can order your ships to return fire too.

Host Sub_Cmdr_S`Riak says:
ACTION:  The Romulans begin firing at the same time.... One of them accidentally hits the scorpius torpedo...  The other four pirates ships wait.

TO_Sadek says:
::fires once again with a full torpedo spread::

XO_AQilla_Horn says:
TO: Report!

FCO_Lane says:
::grimaces as she sees the Romulan fire take out the torpedo that was fired...:: Self: Great...  ::continues to work to evade the pirate's fire::

XO_AQilla_Horn says:
::reads her tactical display and sees shields are down:: OPS: Divert aux power to shields ...

TO_Sadek says:
XO: I have hit one vessel... it is completely offline... a direct hit that detached their nacelle

XO_AQilla_Horn says:
TO:  Nice shooting.  What about the others?

TO_Sadek says:
::frowns:: XO: Commander... the pirates are not targeting the Romulan vessel

CIV_Serok says:
<OPS_Everett> XO:  Aye Commander, diverting power to shields.

XO_AQilla_Horn says:
S'Riak:  And why is it they are not targeting your vessels, Sub-Commander?

FCO_Lane says:
::alters course again to avoid the pirate's fire:: CO: We're not going to last much longer, Captain.

CIV_Serok says:
XO:  We have the shield frequency.  Feeding to tactical now.

TO_Sadek says:
XO: I suggest using that to our advantage.... I suggest getting us as close as possible to the Romulan vessel

Host CO_VanSickle says:
S'Riak: Get your vessels to draw their fire.

XO_AQilla_Horn says:
TO:  Feed that information into the torpedo guidance system and fire ...

CEO_Cap says:

Host Sub_Cmdr_S`Riak says:
ACTION:  Several pirates break off and enter the Jeffries tubes... the begin climbing towards the bridge.  Another group of Pirates are now outside Engineering and the door swishes open.   They scream inside holding the hostages out in front of them.

Host CO_VanSickle says:
::grabs his phaser::

CIV_Serok says:
XO:  That would be my suggestion Commander.

TO_Sadek says:
::looks down at his reading:: CO: I believe the intruders are attempting to make their way to the bridge Sir.

XO_AQilla_Horn says:
CIV:  Then let's go.  We need to gain control of Engineering.  Once that is done we can re-route command functions there.

CIV_Serok says:
:: nods ::

Host CO_VanSickle says:
All: Fan out and train your phasers on the Jeffries Tube vents!

XO_AQilla_Horn says:

CMO_Garta-Nmbarri says:
Medical Staff: Watch the doors and the Jeffries tube.  If somebody comes in and isn't in a Starfleet uniform, shoot!

XO_AQilla_Horn says:
::crawls along::

CIV_Serok says:

Host Sub_Cmdr_S`Riak says:
CO:  I'd Gas the Ship Captain... long ago.

CIV_Serok says:
XO:  The needs of the many outweigh the needs of the few.

Host CO_VanSickle says:
S'Riak: Good idea, but we'll confine it to the jeffries' tubes and engineering.
