Dangerous Liaisons

Host Gerry says:
Interlude:  One for the books...

Host Gerry says:
Previously on the USS Scorpius:

Host Gerry says:
The USS Scorpius interdicted a Vulcan vessel in Galorndon core that was involved in a very secretive and shadowy organization known as the Wuh’sha.

Host Gerry says:
The ship is being secured and investigated by boarding parties, and after the initial takedown and securing of engineering and the bridge, Commander Horn returned to the Scorpius.

Host Gerry says:
She and the FCO are currently on the bridge taking reports and keeping station.

ACO_AQilla_Horn says:
::on the bridge in the centre seat::

FCO_Heath says:
::reads through the reports from the rest of her department::

ACO_AQilla_Horn says:
::thinks this was way too easy::

ACO_AQilla_Horn says:
::looks around to the FCO:: FCO:  Any sign of anything unusual?

Host Unconscious_Vulcan says:
@::groans from under a pile of debris::

FCO_Heath says:
::looks up at the CO:: ACO: No Ma'am, not at the moment.

ACO_AQilla_Horn says:
FCO:  Then why do I have such an uneasy feeling ...

FCO_Heath says:
FCO: Dealing with this kind of situation?  It seems to be going to smoothly.

ACO_AQilla_Horn says:
FCO:  Too smoothly ...

Host Unconscious_Vulcan says:
@::gets up and looks out a portal, and sees the ambassador-class ship off the stern::

Host Unconscious_Vulcan says:
@::smiles and nods to himself::

ACO_AQilla_Horn says:
FCO:  Send a message to our teams to be on the lookout.  I have a feeling ...

FCO_Heath says:
::checks and sets to hold course::  ACO:  Yes ma'am.  Will do.

Host Unconscious_Vulcan says:
@::stands and pulls out an old-style hand-flip communicator::

FCO_Heath says:
::sends the message as requested::

Host Unconscious_Vulcan says:
@COMM: Scorpius: Come in Scorpius.  I could use a ride home.

FCO_Heath says:
ACO: Message sent.  

ACO_AQilla_Horn says:
::hears a comm:: COM: Vulcan:  This is the Scorpius.  Who is this?

FCO_Heath says:
::looks back at AQilla, thinks, "Here we go"::

Host ADM_Taylor says:
@COMM:  Scorpius:  Who do you think it is, Commander?  <in Romulan>

FCO_Heath says:
::uses sensors to search for the origin of the comm signal::

ACO_AQilla_Horn says:
COM: Taylor:  <in Romulan> Admiral Taylor?

Host ADM_Taylor says:
@COMM: Scorpius: CO: <Romulan> Very good, commander.  Have you got transporter capability?

ACO_AQilla_Horn says:
COM: Taylor: <in Romulan> We should have, Admiral.  Stand by.

ACO_AQilla_Horn says:
FCO:  Do we have transporter capabilities?

FCO_Heath says:
ACO:  Yes ma'am

FCO_Heath says:
::locks onto the signal:: ACO: We're ready to transport.

ACO_AQilla_Horn says:
FCO:  Them lock onto the Admiral and beam him directly to the bridge.

FCO_Heath says:
::activates transporter to transport the Admiral to the Scorpius bridge:: ACO: Aye, Ma'am.

Host ADM_Taylor says:
ACTION:  The Admiral is beamed to the Bridge of the Scorpius.

ACO_AQilla_Horn says:
<in Romulan> Taylor:  Welcome aboard, Admiral.

Host ADM_Taylor says:
CO: Thank you commander.  I see you've met our "Friends."

ACO_AQilla_Horn says:
Taylor:  We certainly have.  They gave us a run for our money.

Host ADM_Taylor says:
CO:  And they'll do much worse if we don't stop them.

Host ADM_Taylor says:
CO:  How much do you know already?  I'll fill in your blanks.

ACO_AQilla_Horn says:
Taylor:  Well, now we have that ship it could get easier.  I'm going to have our teams go through that ship with a fine tooth comb.  Plus having that ship could allow us to infiltrate the Wuh’sha.

Host ADM_Taylor says:
::holds up a micro-disc::  CO:  Think this might help?  ::smirks a half-Vulcan smirk::

ACO_AQilla_Horn says:
Taylor:  Only what we have learned on this mission, Sir.  We do have their signs and countersigns, plus some knowledge of them.

ACO_AQilla_Horn says:
Taylor:  Indeed it will.  ::moves to take the disk::

Host ADM_Taylor says:
CO:  All yours.  I'm not here.  It's better if this comes from someone outside the normal chain of command.

ACO_AQilla_Horn says:
::looks at Taylor curiously:: Admiral:  With all due respect, Sir, what is that supposed to mean?

CMO_Mahl says:
::checking the CIV in sickbay, wondering if and when she is going to emerge from this coma::

Host ADM_Taylor says:
CO:  Commander Horn, it means that I can't know what I know or we might all be in a lot of trouble.  

ACO_AQilla_Horn says:
Taylor:  You're working with the Wuh'sha, aren't you?

Host ADM_Taylor says:
CO:  That's what they believe, yes.  This may have compromised my cover and contact network, however.

ACO_AQilla_Horn says:
Taylor:  Understood.  What do you want us to do now?

Host ADM_Taylor says:
CO:  First, take the disc.  Use it to lay a decent trap or whatever you need to do to expose this conspiracy in Starfleet.  Then how about a drink or a meal?  The food on the transport was Romulan battle rations.  ::makes a face::

CMO_Mahl says:
*ACO* Commander, I just wanted to check in with you, and let you know that there is still no change with my comatose patients.

ACO_AQilla_Horn says:
Taylor:  Yes, I know what they are like.  FCO:  Issue guest quarters for the Admiral.

ACO_AQilla_Horn says:
*CMO*:  Thank you, Doctor.  I may have another patient for you shortly.

ACO_AQilla_Horn says:
Taylor:  Admiral, I'd also like our doctor to check you out ... just to make sure you're all right.

CMO_Mahl says:
*ACO* Oh?  Could you clue me in so that I can be ready?

ACO_AQilla_Horn says:
*CMO*:  Let's just say we've taken a guest on board.  He will need a full medical examination.

CMO_Mahl says:
*ACO* Very well, Commander.

Host ADM_Taylor says:
CO:  ::nods and smiles:: Of course you do.  No problem.  I'll join him in Sickbay if we're done here.

FCO_Heath says:
ACO: Yes, ma'am ::makes the assignment.:: ADM: You have the VIP quarters, Sir.

ACO_AQilla_Horn says:
Taylor:  In the meantime I'd like to through this and come up with some sort of plan ...

Host ADM_Taylor says:
FCO:  Very kind, Lieutenant.  CO:  Very well, commander.  I'll away to sickbay.  ::moves toward turbolift::

ACO_AQilla_Horn says:
::nods to the Admiral then heads over to Science Station go to through the information::

Host ADM_Taylor says:
::moves through the turbolift doors and lets them close::  Computer:  Sickbay.

ACO_AQilla_Horn says:
::inserts the disk into the reader:: Computer:  Computer, access information on the removable media.

Host ADM_Taylor says:
<Computer>  CO:  Accessing...

ACO_AQilla_Horn says:
::studies the information as it comes across the screen::

ACO_AQilla_Horn says:
::frowns as she continues reading::

Host ADM_Taylor says:
::enters sickbay and looks around for a doctor::

CMO_Mahl says:
::hears the sickbay doors open and close, turns around, and is startled to see Adm. Taylor standing there::

CMO_Mahl says:
Adm: What can I do for you, Sir? 

Host ADM_Taylor says:
CMO:  Mister Mahl?  I thought I would find Doctor Garta!  your captain would like me checked out, I believe.

CMO_Mahl says:
ADM: Doctor Jenise has left the Scorpius.  Her husband accepted promotion to XO of Arcadia Station.  I will be happy to assist you.

Host ADM_Taylor says:
CMO:  Ah, or course!  I didn't make the connection.  to be honest, it's been a painful recovery...however I do feel much better now.

CMO_Mahl says:
ADM: Take a seat on any biobed that you wish.  I will be with you in a moment.

ACO_AQilla_Horn says:
FCO:  You have the bridge, Lt.  I need to see Admiral Taylor.  What is his present location?

Host ADM_Taylor says:
CMO:  Sure thing.  Who's that in isolation?  ::nods to the curtained area as he hops up on a table energetically::

CMO_Mahl says:
::Looks back at the Adm:: ADM: That is CIV Serok, and V’Tarna of Vulcan.

Host ADM_Taylor says:
CMO:  ::alarmed::  Suvok?  ::rushes over to the curtained area::

CMO_Mahl says:
::Gets his medical tricorder, then goes to the biobed and programs it for a full physical scan::

CMO_Mahl says:
ADM: Sir, if you keep jumping off the biobed like this, it will record you as being dead!

ACO_AQilla_Horn says:
*Taylor*:  Horn to Admiral Taylor.

Host ADM_Taylor says:
CMO:  ::returns to the biobed sheepishly::  Of course, Doctor.  I apologize.

CMO_Mahl says:
ADM: They are both in deep coma's.  I am at a loss to explain why.

FCO_Heath says:
ACO: Sensors show him to be in Sickbay, Ma'am.

Host ADM_Taylor says:
CMO: Did the Captain attempt to force a meld on the Minister?

CMO_Mahl says:
::begins the scan of the Admiral::

ACO_AQilla_Horn says:
FCO:  Thank you Lt.  ::heads to the TL::

CMO_Mahl says:
ADM: Actually, it appeared that they both attempted to force melds on each other.

CMO_Mahl says:
::checks the readings on the biobed::

CMO_Mahl says:
ADM: Well, you will be happy to know that you are in pretty good physical health, except for a slight bit of under nourishment.  I am prescribing a strict diet to have that taken care of.

Host ADM_Taylor says:
CMO ::frowns::  I fear it may be a psychic trap.  the Wuh’sha use it as a defense against forced melds for intelligence gathering purposes.

ACO_AQilla_Horn says:
::exits the TL and heads for sickbay::

CMO_Mahl says:
ADM: Is there any way that I can treat them?  I must admit that where melds are concerned, I do not know a lot.

ACO_AQilla_Horn says:
::enters Sickbay and heads to where the Admiral and the CMO are:: CMO:  I trust the Admiral is in good health?

CMO_Mahl says:
ACO: Slightly under nourished, but the diet that I am going to prescribe will take care of that quickly.

ACO_AQilla_Horn says:
CMO:  Good.

ACO_AQilla_Horn says:
Taylor:  Admiral, as soon as you feel up to it, I'd like to go through that information with you.

Host ADM_Taylor says:
CMO:  Time is required, until a healing trance begins for the patient.  To attempt any other form of telepathic intervention could result in disaster.

CMO_Mahl says:
ADM: You can go on your way, Sir.  Just alter your diet to what I have prescribed here. ::Hands the Admiral a PADD with strict diet restrictions on it::

Host ADM_Taylor says:
CO:  At your leisure, Commander.  But please...over dinner.  I'm serious.  that food was awful.

Host ADM_Taylor says:
CMO:  All my favorites, I see.  ::frowns::

ACO_AQilla_Horn says:
Taylor:  Believe me, I know what Romulan food is like ... ::grins::

CMO_Mahl says:
ADM: The diet that I have prescribed is high in proteins and carbohydrates.

ACO_AQilla_Horn says:
Taylor:  Shall we say your quarters in about 15 minutes?

CMO_Mahl says:
::leaves the Adm and the ACO, and goes back to the CIV and V’Tarna::

Host ADM_Taylor says:
CMO:  Yes, I see.  Thank you for your excellent work, Doctor.  CO:  15 would be fine, Commander.  Shall I meet you there?

ACO_AQilla_Horn says:
Taylor:  That would be fine, Sir.  ::turns to leave::
