Episode 7:  "Walk in the Park"

Host Gerry says:
Previously on the USS Scorpius:

Host Gerry says:
The Vulcan Defense minister has been transferred into the custody of the Vulcan Security forces and left on Vulcan while the USS Scorpius travels to the Galorndon Core to rendezvous with a Romulan vessel.

Host Gerry says:
A frightful and telling mind-meld revealed the sign/countersign from the Vulcan Defense Minister just before the CIV passed out from the exertion of the forced meld.

Host Gerry says:
The Scorpius is approaching the Galorndon Core at low warp from an unanticipated direction in an attempt to deceive any vessels that may be lying in wait.

OPS-Watson says:
:: At main OPS watching her console, as well as watching over navigation ::

CMO_Mahl says:
::In sickbay, watching over his patients::

CTO_Raash says:
::walking onto the bridge, rubbing the back of her neck::

ACO_AQilla_Horn says:
::on the bridge:: OPS: Time till rendezvous?

OPS-Watson says:
:: Checks the chronometers ::   ACO: 17 minutes, ma'am

CTO_Raash says:
::steps to her station and begins checking sensors::

Host Gerry says:
ACTION:  The radiation of the Galorndon Core system begins to rise significantly as the Scorpius approaches the systems

ACO_AQilla_Horn says:
CTO:  Raise shields.  OPS:  Any sign of Romulan activity?

EO_Shemara says:
::in engineering checking the reactor mix of the plasma::

CSO_Elbran says:
::Finishes his work at Science Station 1 on the bridge::

OPS-Watson says:
:: Checks sensors and grimaces ::  ACO: Hard to tell.  The radiation from the system is affecting the sensors

ACO_AQilla_Horn says:
OPS:  See if you can compensate.

CSO_Elbran says:
::Begins monitoring the radiation spikes::

OPS-Watson says:
:: Fingers work to try and compensate ::   ACO: Aye ma'am

CSO_Elbran says:
ACO: Sir, this radiation is interfering with our sensors. I working to compensate but i don’t think i can give you more than 60% efficiency.

ACO_AQilla_Horn says:
CSO:  Understood.  Do what you can.

CTO_Raash says:
ACO: Aye Ma'am. ::raises shields:: Shields on full power.

CSO_Elbran says:
ACO: Aye sir, will do.

ACO_AQilla_Horn says:
*EO*:  Bridge to Engineering.  How do things look down there?

OPS-Watson says:
:: Checks power allotments and sees all systems are affected ::  ACO: Ma'am...compensation to sensors is difficult.  We have 60% power to sensors.  The radiation is affecting systems across the board

EO_Shemara says:
*OPS*: Sir, are we near radiation?  My monitors are indicating that we are.

CSO_Elbran says:
::Begins attempting to compensate for the radiation::

OPS-Watson says:
*EO*: We are.  All systems are affected

EO_Shemara says:
::taps a few commands in an effort to stabilize the shields::

EO_Shemara says:
*OPS*: Understood. Shemara out.

CSO_Elbran says:
::Gets the scanners up to 60% efficiency::

CSO_Elbran says:
::Begins performing standard scans of the area, watching closely for signs of the Wuh’sha'::

ACO_AQilla_Horn says:
CTO:  This interference is going to detect incoming ships difficult.  Be on alert.

EO_Shemara says:
Self: Augusfratt!!!!  This interference is indeed intolerable.

OPS-Watson says:
:: Checks navigation and makes a slight course adjustment ::

OPS-Watson says:
:: Continues to try to compensate for the radiation affecting systems ::

CTO_Raash says:
ACO: I'm checking now Ma'am.  I keep seeing something aft.  It could be a sensor ghost.

ACO_AQilla_Horn says:
::nods:: CTO:  Check for a cloak.

CSO_Elbran says:
::Sends a memo to his science staff "prepare another Tachyon pulse, just in case guys, Elbran out"::

OPS-Watson says:
:: Shuts down power to systems not in use and re-routes the extra power to the mix ::

ACO_AQilla_Horn says:
OPS:  Get ready to send the countersign if they signal.

OPS-Watson says:
ACO: Aye ma'am

OPS-Watson says:
:: Prepares the countersign and has it ready on the ACO's mark ::

EO_Shemara says:
::watches the boards as OPS begins to shut down non essential systems::

FCO_Heath says:
::moves from the lift to flight console and looks over the current course settings::

OPS-Watson says:
:: Sees the FCO and smiles.  Unslaves navigation from OPS ::  FCO: She's all yours

CTO_Raash says:
ACO: Checking now Ma'am. ::opens the sensors in search of any trails or discharges that may be a cloaking device::

ACO_AQilla_Horn says:
FCO:  Take us to the rendezvous coordinates then come to all stop.

FCO_Heath says:
::looks over at Nadia:: OPS: Thanks, good work.

OPS-Watson says:
:: Smiles ::  FCO:  No problem.  I've gotten good at flying.  Nice to have someone here again.

FCO_Heath says:
ACO: Aye ma'am.  ::keeps the ship on course::

OPS-Watson says:
ACO: Countersign is ready on your mark, ma'am

FCO_Heath says:
::glances back at Horn:: ACO: ETA 2 minutes

CSO_Elbran says:
ACO: Sir, I've got my staff working on another Tachyon pulse, just in case our "friends" decide to play dirty.

FCO_Heath says:
OPS: I understand that one.  You get used to playing around in all sorts of positions out here.

ACO_AQilla_Horn says:
CSO:  Keep it on standby, Ensign.

OPS-Watson says:
:: Sees her console light up and accesses it ::  ACO: Ma'am...I have an incoming hail...on tight beam

ACO_AQilla_Horn says:
OPS:  On speakers, Lt.

OPS-Watson says:
:: Smiles at the FCO ::

OPS-Watson says:
:: Places the incoming message on speakers ::   ACO: On speakers, ma'am

CTO_Raash says:
::taps in and finds the location of the hail:: ACO: Ma'am, that hail is from our sensor ghost.

CSO_Elbran says:
::Nods at the ACO, then listens to the Comm::

ACO_AQilla_Horn says:
CTO:  I thought it might be ...

FCO_Heath says:
::prepares to bring the ship to all stop::

ACO_AQilla_Horn says:
CTO:  Keep an eye on them.

CTO_Raash says:
ACO: Aye Ma'am.

FCO_Heath says:
::as they reach the rendezvous, brings the ship to all stop:: ACO: We're at all stop, ma'am.

Host Gerry says:
ACTION:  Sensors reveal a Vulcan ship emerge from the sensor-blind area...

T`ret says:
@COM: Scorpius: Nice day for a walk.

ACO_AQilla_Horn says:
OPS:  Send the countersign.

OPS-Watson says:
:: Sends the countersign ::  COM: T'ret: If you like the rain...

FCO_Heath says:
::maintains readiness and stays alert::

ACO_AQilla_Horn says:
FCO:  Lay in evasives and have them on standby.

CSO_Elbran says:
::Watches in anticipation::

FCO_Heath says:
ACO: Aye, ma'am.  ::prepares evasives::

T`ret says:
@::frowns:: 

ACO_AQilla_Horn says:
::waits::

CTO_Raash says:
::thinks about the last time she walks in the rain and smiles::

T`ret says:
@COM: Scorpius: I am now available to receive the FUNDS transfer. 

OPS-Watson says:
:: Gulps nervously ::

OPS-Watson says:
:: Looks back at the ACO ::

CSO_Elbran says:
::Receives a memo from his staff, the Tachyon pulse is ready and on standby:: Self: Right on time.

FCO_Heath says:
::thinks: funds transfer?...realizes she missed a lot by keeping to engineering::

ACO_AQilla_Horn says:
::turns to the CSO:: CSO: Mr Elbran?

OPS-Watson says:
:: Looks over to the FCO and shrugs ::

EO_Shemara says:
::hands running over the main engineering control boards feverishly::

ACO_AQilla_Horn says:
::looks around her::  CSO:  You didn't find out about this?

CSO_Elbran says:
ACO: Sir, i believe they're looking for federation credits.  It's most likely for funding more terrorist cells within the Romulan Empire.

FCO_Heath says:
::whispers:: OPS: What is going on?

ACO_AQilla_Horn says:
CSO:  Can you trick them into thinking we are transferring Federation credits when we actually are not?

T`ret says:
@COM: Scorpius: I am now available to receive the funds transfer. 

CSO_Elbran says:
ACO: I believe so sir, why?

ACO_AQilla_Horn says:
COM: T'Ret:  We will commence transfer shortly.  Stand by ...

OPS-Watson says:
:: Looks at the FCO and whispers ::   FCO: I have no idea.  Wasn't called to attend that meeting...

ACO_AQilla_Horn says:
CSO:  Because I want them to think we have what they want ...

T`ret says:
@::frowns:: 

FCO_Heath says:
::shakes her head and prepares herself for the worst:: Self: It's time to follow the Doctor's orders or at least try.  

CSO_Elbran says:
ACO: Very well sir. ::types in some commands:: ACO: False Credit Transfer ready on your mark.

ACO_AQilla_Horn says:
CTO:  Can you get a link into their computers during the transfer?  Let's see if we can hack in while we have an opportunity.

CTO_Raash says:
ACO: Working on that now Ma'am.

CTO_Raash says:
::follows the comm link to the ship and begins working on accessing their computers::

ACO_AQilla_Horn says:
CSO:  Begin the transfer.  CTO:  Download what you can.

Host Gerry says:
ACTION:  The intrusion attempt is detected...

CSO_Elbran says:
::Nods and commences the Transfer of false credits::

ACO_AQilla_Horn says:
FCO:  Prepare to get us out of here.

OPS-Watson says:
<FCO>  ACO: Aye ma'am

CSO_Elbran says:
ACO: Sir, i think they're on to us!

T`ret says:
::alters course and heads into a high sensor disturbance::

OPS-Watson says:
<FCO>  :: Finger is poised over the 'get out of town' button ::

OPS-Watson says:
:: Looks over at the FCO and grins ::

ACO_AQilla_Horn says:
FCO: Forget evasives.   Pursuit course.  Let's see where they go.

EO_Shemara says:
*CO*: Any instructions sir?

T`ret says:
::attempts to mask his sensor image::

OPS-Watson says:
<FCO>  ACO: Aye ma'am.   :: Lays in pursuit course ::   Course laid in

Host Gerry says:
ACTION:  The Scorpius pursues the smaller Vulcan ship into the disturbance...

ACO_AQilla_Horn says:
*EO*:  Just keep us in one piece for now.  We are going into an area of high sensor disturbance.  Compensate accordingly.

CSO_Elbran says:
ACO: Sir, i must warn you that going into that  region would most likely hinder our own sensors.

OPS-Watson says:
:: Keeps eyes on power allotments ::

EO_Shemara says:
*ACO*: Understood. Shemara out.

OPS-Watson says:
:: Listens carefully for any communication...no matter how minute  ::

CTO_Raash says:
ACO: They caught me Ma'am. ::grunts:: I am locking on to their signal now.  Unless he changes things quite a bit, my sensor readings earlier should help.

ACO_AQilla_Horn says:
CSO:  I know that, Ensign.   CTO:  Did we get anything from their computers?

ACO_AQilla_Horn says:
FCO:  Can you lock onto their ion emissions?

CTO_Raash says:
::watches the targeting sensors fail:: ACO: No Ma'am.  They had anti-intrusion traps set up.  I've also lost the lock on their signal.

CSO_Elbran says:
::works hard to try and keep the sensors in order::

OPS-Watson says:
<FCO> :: Fingers working console like a pianist in concert ::  ACO: Attempting to, but it's highly unlikely

ACO_AQilla_Horn says:
CTO:  We tried. ... Do we have them at all?

CTO_Raash says:
::recalibrates hoping for better sensor connection::

T`ret says:
::alters course in a random pattern::

OPS-Watson says:
:: Attempts to boost the gain on nav sensors ::

FCO_Heath says:
::keeps trying to follow their ion emissions in an attempt to pursue::

Host Gerry says:
ACTION:  The Vulcan ship can be seen attempting a hard starboard turn up and away...

CTO_Raash says:
ACO: Sensors at 40%.  I have their last heading.

ACO_AQilla_Horn says:
CTO:  The plus side is that their sensors would be affected as well.

OPS-Watson says:
FCO: Trying to boost your gain to nav sensors...

ACO_AQilla_Horn says:
FCO:  Stay on them.

T`ret says:
::continues to alter course in a random pattern::

FCO_Heath says:
::follows the Vulcan ship through their hard starboard turn...tries to predict their next move:: OPS: Thanks... ACO: Working on it, Ma'am.

OPS-Watson says:
:: Still working her console to increase power to sensors ::

CSO_Elbran says:
CTO: Perhaps, but they have spent more time here than us, it is feasible that they may have developed some way to compensate

Host Gerry says:
ACTION:  The Vulcan ship eludes the Scorpius...

ACO_AQilla_Horn says:
CTO:  True but I would like to take them alive if possible ...

OPS-Watson says:
:: Listens carefully for any sign of communication ::

ACO_AQilla_Horn says:
OPS:  Anything on comms?

CTO_Raash says:
ACO: Alive...if you insist Ma'am.

FCO_Heath says:
::tries to track them:: ACO: They've eluded us, Ma'am.  I'm trying to pick up some trace of them.

OPS-Watson says:
:: Shakes her head ::  ACO: No ma'am...I believe they are running silent

CTO_Raash says:
CSO: True.  I'm starting the computer on scenarios to improve our sensors now.

ACO_AQilla_Horn says:
All:  Recommendations?

CTO_Raash says:
::pulls up a sub file and creates a test program for the computer to check possible sensor improvement::

ACO_AQilla_Horn says:
FCO:  Begin standard search patterns ... let's see if we can find them.

CTO_Raash says:
ACO: Ma'am, I'm showing some sort of reading.  It's magnetic which could indicate a ship.

FCO_Heath says:
ACO: Understood, standard search pattern ::prepares course for search pattern and engages::

ACO_AQilla_Horn says:
CTO:  Feed the coordinates to flight.

CSO_Elbran says:
Sir, perhaps we could try my tachyon pulse? tachyons stand out on sensors much more and would at least give us a better lock on them. The only downside is that they would be able to detect us the same.

CTO_Raash says:
ACO: Aye Ma'am. ::sends over the coordinates:: FCO: Incoming Lieutenant.

ACO_AQilla_Horn says:
CSO:  Work with flight.  Use the pulse to determine their location.

CSO_Elbran says:
ACO: Aye sir.

FCO_Heath says:
::receives the information from tactical and plots the course:: ACO: Course plotted...engaging now ::engages on new course::  

CSO_Elbran says:
FCO: Are you ready for the pulse?

OPS-Watson says:
:: Continues to listen for any sign of communications ::

ACO_AQilla_Horn says:
CTO:  Will a tractor beam work in this region?

FCO_Heath says:
CSO: Ready when you are.

CTO_Raash says:
CSO: Is there a way we can magnetize the hull of a shuttle?  If we can get it close enough to that signal, the extra pull might slow them down.

OPS-Watson says:
:: Hears the CTO and thinks she knows where that is going.  Prepares the tractor beam ::

CTO_Raash says:
ACO: No guarantee Ma'am, but I am willing to try.

EO_Shemara says:
::continues her handiwork in keeping the Scorpius in one piece::

ACO_AQilla_Horn says:
::overhears:: CTO:  That's not a bad idea ...

FCO_Heath says:
::maintains course::

ACO_AQilla_Horn says:
FCO:  How close are we?

CTO_Raash says:
ACO: Nods to the ACO:: Or turn the Scorpius into a magnet for that matter.  We are so much larger, it would be like pulling a straight pin.  However, I don't think risking the Scorpius would be wise.

FCO_Heath says:
ACO: 100000 KM, Ma'am.

CSO_Elbran says:
::Initiates the pulse:: All: Pulse activated, anything within the radius  of the pulse will be highlighted

ACO_AQilla_Horn says:
CTO:  Agreed.  Let's use two shuttles ...

CTO_Raash says:
ACO: Aye Ma'am.

CSO_Elbran says:
CTO: I believe it is possible

ACO_AQilla_Horn says:
CTO:  Also have boarding parties ready.  I want to take that ship in tact if possible.

CTO_Raash says:
*EO*: Raash to Engineering.  We need to magnetize a couple of shuttles.  Anyone down there available?

EO_Shemara says:
*CTO*: Yeah me.

CTO_Raash says:
ACO: Security team Alpha is already on alert Ma'am.  The security teams have been taking turns since this all started.

ACO_AQilla_Horn says:
CTO:  Good.  You and I will lead the parties.  How long until the shuttles are ready?

CTO_Raash says:
*EO* Report to Shuttle bay one.  Ensign Bel Owmup can help you if necessary.

EO_Shemara says:
::turns and looks at her ensign and tells him to take over and hurries out for the TL and the shuttle bay::

EO_Shemara says:
*CTO*: On my way sir.

CTO_Raash says:
::rubs the back of her neck again::

ACO_AQilla_Horn says:
CTO:  Actually I have another idea.  We can use the shuttles to board the ship ... the magnetization will attract us to the ship ...

ACO_AQilla_Horn says:
::notices the CTO:: CTO:  Are you all right, Ensign?

CTO_Raash says:
::knows she isn't going to sickbay any time soon and sends a text message to sickbay "Pain reliever is needed on the bridge when you have an appropriate time::

CTO_Raash says:
ACO: I'll be fine Ma'am.  There was some damage to my office.  A ceiling piece caught the back of my neck.

CTO_Raash says:
ACO: I'll notify my security team to be in the shuttle bay.

OPS-Watson says:
ACO: I'd like to suggest all communication be handled via a carrier signal disguised as background noise.  I can send that frequency to the shuttles when they are launched

ACO_AQilla_Horn says:
CTO:  I'll join you there.  OPS:  Good idea.  Do it.  FCO:  You will have the bridge.

CTO_Raash says:
*Sec_Alpha* Report to Shuttle Bay one for boarding party duty.

ACO_AQilla_Horn says:
CTO:  Shall we?  ::gets up and heads for the TL::

OPS-Watson says:
:: Fingers begin to configure the carrier signal for use between the shuttles and the Scorpius ::

CMO_Mahl says:
::Reads the text message, then contacts the CTO:: *CTO* This is sickbay.  What seems to be the problem?

EO_Shemara says:
::after arriving  in the SB she has been busy making the alterations for the shuttle and is now finished::

ACO_AQilla_Horn says:
*CMO*:  Doctor Mahl ... we need someone from your department for an AT mission.

CTO_Raash says:
::heads to the turbolift:: *CMO* A headache Doctor.  However, it will be sometime before I can come to you for treatment.  If you wouldn't mind, please meet me in shuttle bay 1.  I'd prefer to be at my best when boarding an enemy ship.

EO_Shemara says:
*CTO: Sir I am finished with my task.  Shuttle is ready.

CMO_Mahl says:
*CTO* on my way.

CTO_Raash says:
::steps into the lift:: *EO* Thank you for your quick work.

CSO_Elbran says:
ACO: Sir, results of the pulse. There’s a lot of junk out there, but i see what appears to be the wake of a ship. I'm transferring the co-ordinates to the shuttles.

CTO_Raash says:
ACO: The shuttles are ready.  The security team will meet us there.

CMO_Mahl says:
::Leaves sickbay with a hypo of pain reliever for the CTO::

ACO_AQilla_Horn says:
::steps into the TL with the CTO::  CTO:  Good.
