Episode 14:  Inquisition

Host Gerry says:
Previously on the USS Scorpius:

Host Gerry says:
The IDIC has rejoined the USS Scorpius and has repopulated the ship with her borrowed crew.

Host Gerry says:
Admiral Taylor has decided to rest a bit in his quarters, attended by a medical officer.

Host Gerry says:
The Scorpius is now at a crossroads/dead-end in the investigation of the Wuh'sha, and the next move seems to be in the court of the erstwhile crew and her Captain.

Host Gerry says:
It has been 20 minutes since we last saw our protagonists.

Host Gerry says:
Sevik has been found to be a captive with little or no information, and has been returned to holding.

Host Gerry says:
Interrogations are continuing.

CO_AQilla_Horn says:
::on the bridge fuming at the attempts at infiltration::

XO_Garta-Nmbarri says:
::Still sitting in the big comfy chair in security::

OPS_Raash says:
::at her station still working on finding who infiltrated the ship's computer::

CSO_Elbran says:
::Looks at the information pouring onto the screen. This hacker left very little trace of his existence, he certainly knew what he was doing.::

CO_AQilla_Horn says:
OPS/CSO:  Anything yet?

XO_Garta-Nmbarri says:
CTO: Remove this prisoner to a secure cell.  Do NOT return him to the others.

CIV_Serok says:
:: stands in security :: XO:  I am prepared to continue the interrogations Commander.

XO_Garta-Nmbarri says:
CIV: Are you sure you do not need any time to rest?

FCO_Heath says:
::keeping watch on sensors as she continues to perform a series of unusual maneuvers::

CO_AQilla_Horn says:
FCO:  What about our sensor shadow?

CSO_Elbran says:
CO: I've got nothing here sir.

CIV_Serok says:
XO:  Not at this time.  Sevik was surprisingly simple.

OPS_Raash says:
CO: Not yet Captain.

CO_AQilla_Horn says:
CSO:  Maybe we can get something from the console used or the core itself.  Get down there and see what you can find out.

CTO_Horn says:
::Takes the prisoner to an Isolated cell::

FCO_Heath says:
CO: Nothing I do seems to confuse it.  It's still there and matching us move for move.  That makes me think that it is a sensor echo.

Host Gerry says:
ACTION:  The next prisoner is brought in

XO_Garta-Nmbarri says:
CIV: Captain, any time you feel the need to rest, just say so.  

CO_AQilla_Horn says:
::nods:: FCO:  We need a way to confirm that.  See what you can do.

XO_Garta-Nmbarri says:
::Looks up at the prisoner:: Prisoner: State your name for the record.

FCO_Heath says:
CO: Yes, Ma'am.

CIV_Serok says:
XO:  Thank you Commander, I will.

OPS_Raash says:
CSO: I suggest that one of us inspect the medical console apparently used in person.  Would you like to go or shall I?

CO_AQilla_Horn says:
OPS:  What about communications.  Anything of note?

CIV_Serok says:
:: looks up at the prisoner ::

CSO_Elbran says:
OPS: I'll go to the console, i think I'll have better luck there, you'd be more familiar with the computer core perhaps?

OPS_Raash says:
::nods:: CSO: I'll continue checking.  I will report if I find something.

OPS_Raash says:
CO: Nothing Ma'am, quite quiet at the moment.

CO_AQilla_Horn says:
::nods:: OPS:  Then go down and check the core.  I can monitor the situation from here.

R`Mara says:
XO: And why exactly should I do that?

XO_Garta-Nmbarri says:
R`Mara: It is a courtesy, for both of us.  It is courteous for you to respond when asked, and for me to use your name, instead of calling you prisoner all the time.

CO_AQilla_Horn says:
::brings up the scans of the sensor "echo" on her monitor and studies it ... ::

CIV_Serok says:
R'Mara:  It would be easier on yourself to cooperate.

R`Mara says:
XO: Courteous.... This must be some of your "Humor", how could you ask me to be courteous to you, when I am your prisoner.

XO_Garta-Nmbarri says:
R`Mara: You are a prisoner on this vessel because you were involved in illegalities.  However, if you wish to pursue your current course of action, I would be happy to refer to you as prisoner.

CSO_Elbran says:
::enters the turbolift:: Computer: Sickbay.

OPS_Raash says:
::sits up and she sees another attempt::

XO_Garta-Nmbarri says:
::Looks at the CTO and CIV: CIV/CTO: You may begin your interrogation.

OPS_Raash says:
*CSO* I show another attempt at a terminal on Deck 36, Main Engineering.

CIV_Serok says:
R'Mara:  Common courtesy under all circumstances should be ingrained in any Vulcan?

CSO_Elbran says:
*OPS*: Got it, I’m on my way!

CTO_Horn says:
R'Mara: It is illogical for you to refuse to answer our questions.

CSO_Elbran says:
Computer: Reroute the turbolift to deck 36, main engineering.

XO_Garta-Nmbarri says:
R`Mara: Prisoner, you will be questioned by my CTO and CIV Serok.  They are at liberty to do what ever they feel is required to get information from you.

CO_AQilla_Horn says:
FCO:  I'm going down to see how the interrogations are progressing.  You have the bridge until I return.

R`Mara says:
CTO: Illogical? How so, if I answer your questions, you will attempt to use that information against me, how is it logical to give you information you would try to use against me, no matter if it is logical to use it against me or not.

FCO_Heath says:
::takes the ship into a hard starboard dive:: CO: Understood, Ma'am.

CSO_Elbran says:
::Arrives on deck 36 and steps out of the turbolift::

OPS_Raash says:
::blocks the attempt and starts tracking the user code::

CO_AQilla_Horn says:
::gets up and heads for the TL:: Computer:  Security.

R`Mara says:
CIV: And as for your statement, is courtesy in every situation logical? No matter how much it is ingrained?

XO_Garta-Nmbarri says:
R`Mara: Prisoner, is it logical to commit crimes and break laws?

CIV_Serok says:
CTO/XO:  I can get the information.  :: moves towards R'Mara ::

CTO_Horn says:
R'Mara: First you are already in trouble beyond your imagination..............

CSO_Elbran says:
::reaches to his hip to check his phaser is there, then walks toward main engineering::

XO_Garta-Nmbarri says:
::sits back, and gives the CIV the liberty she needs::

R`Mara says:
XO: Crimes, and laws are in the eyes of the beholder

CSO_Elbran says:
*OPS*: Which console is he at Raash?

XO_Garta-Nmbarri says:
R`Mara: Prisoner, right now, the only eyes you need to worry about are mine, my CTO's, and my CIV's.

CTO_Horn says:
R'Mara: Second, anything you do to cooperate will probably reflect on you during your sentencing in a Federation court

CSO_Elbran says:
::Enters main engineering::

OPS_Raash says:
Self: That figures...heart of the ship and they don't command user specific log ons. ::grumbles::

OPS_Raash says:
*CSO* Console A-7, it's the third to your right as you walk in the main doors.

XO_Garta-Nmbarri says:
CIV: Captain, you may begin at your discretion.

CO_AQilla_Horn says:
::arrives in security and enters ... enters the room::

FCO_Heath says:
::maneuvers into a tight loop and watches sensors to see what happens with the 'sensor echo'::

CSO_Elbran says:
::Gets his bearings and looks towards that console::

CIV_Serok says:
:: nods at the XO ::  R'Mara:  Please remain still, I don not want this to be more difficult than it has to be.

R`Mara says:
CTO: Somehow I doubt that, your human dominated court would rely totally on their emotions in sentencing me, which would be influenced by their interpretation of your laws.

CTO_Horn says:
R'Mara: The gig is up and your only hope of not spending the rest of your very long Vulcan life in a prison is to cooperate.

Host Gerry says:
ACTION:  The CSO finds the console A-7 vacant but active

CO_AQilla_Horn says:
::nods to the XO, CIV and CTO as she enters ... moves to join the CTO::

R`Mara says:
CIV: Certainly.

CSO_Elbran says:
Self: Curious... ::Walks up to the console::

XO_Garta-Nmbarri says:
::nods at the CO:: CO: Welcome, Captain.  ::stands up:: CO: Would you care to take a seat?

FCO_Heath says:
::tries to get more information on the sensor echo and shakes her head:: Self: nothing seems to be working.

CTO_Horn says:
R'Mara: You are underestimating the human ability to be compassionate and merciful.

CO_AQilla_Horn says:
XO:  No, Commander.  I'll stay here for now.  How is it going?

CIV_Serok says:
:: places her hands on R'Mara's face to begin the meld :: R'Mara:  My mind to yours......

CSO_Elbran says:
::Whips out his tricorder and begins to scan the console to tell if somebody was actually using the console::

OPS_Raash says:
*CSO* They are using a generic log on, one like housekeeping uses.

XO_Garta-Nmbarri says:
::sits back down in the big comfy chair:: CO: This is our second prisoner to interrogate.  The first gave little useful information.

CTO_Horn says:
R'Mara: Last chance to cooperate.

CSO_Elbran says:
Tricorder: C'mon, give me something...DNA...body heat...finger prints...anything?

OPS_Raash says:
::wishes she could send a charge through that console to blast the infiltrator and knock them on their butt::

FCO_Heath says:
::tries to narrow sensor focus to get a better picture of the echo::

R`Mara says:
::blanks out his mind and instead focuses on projecting an image of his own face into the CIV's mind:: ~~~ CIV: Boo. ~~~

OPS_Raash says:
*CSO* Did you get anything?

OPS_Raash says:
CO: Ma'am, we've had another infiltration.  The CSO is there now checking the console.

CTO_Horn says:
XO/CO: Ok he asked for it.

CSO_Elbran says:
*OPS*: Elbran to Raash. Nobodies at the console. Looks like i missed them. I'm scanning the console now to see if they were using the console. There’s also the possibility they used an alternate console and hacked it to make it look like they used this one. If they were skilled they could do it.

CTO_Horn says:
CIV: Get him.

CIV_Serok says:
:: Ignores the attempt to distract her :; R'Mara:  My thoughts to your thoughts................

CO_AQilla_Horn says:
*OPS*:  Understood.  Have security get down there and secure the location.

CSO_Elbran says:
::The tricorder beeps, and a Vulcan DNA signature is shown::

Host Gerry says:
ACTION:  The CIV and R'Mara are locked in a combative mind meld...each as formidable as the other at the moment...

CO_AQilla_Horn says:
XO:  Excuse me for a moment, Commander.  ::leaves the room::

OPS_Raash says:
*CTO* Security, we need a backup sent to deck 36, Main Engineering to cover CSO Elbran.  We've had two attempts at infiltrating the computer core.

XO_Garta-Nmbarri says:
::nods to the CO as she leaves::

CO_AQilla_Horn says:
*CSO*:  Horn to Lt Elbran.

CIV_Serok says:
:: continues to try and get around the blocks put up by R'Mara, concentrates harder ::

CSO_Elbran says:
*OPS*: I have a positive Vulcan DNA signature. I'm gonna take the results to medical. Maybe they can id the DNA.

CTO_Horn says:
*OPS*: Acknowledged.

CSO_Elbran says:
::Leaves engineering::

R`Mara says:
::focuses his energy on communicating and blocking, rather then invasion:: ~~~ CIV: And what exactly are you looking for? I assure you, you won't find it here. ~~~

CSO_Elbran says:
*CO*: Yes sir?

CO_AQilla_Horn says:
*CSO*:  Report, Lt.  Find anything?

CTO_Horn says:
::Calls for security teams Gamma and Delta to main engineering to watch over the CSO::

OPS_Raash says:
*CSO* Understood.  I'll inform Doctor Sopok that you are on your way.

CIV_Serok says:
~~~ R'Mara:  Why are you resisting?  And I will be the judge of what is useful. :: ~~~

R`Mara says:
~~~ CIV: Are you still looking for my name, how droll. My name is Peter, Peter Pumpkin Eater ~~~

OPS_Raash says:
*Sopok* Doctor, Lt. Elbran is heading to sickbay.  He needs DNA traced due to a possible security problem.

CSO_Elbran says:
*CO*: Yes sir, I’ve just picked up a positive Vulcan DNA trace on the console, I’m taking the scan results to medical, maybe they can form a genetic profile and id the hacker.

OPS_Raash says:
<Sopok> *OPS* Understood.  I will be waiting for him.

CO_AQilla_Horn says:
*CSO*:  Good.  Inform me as soon as you get an identification.

OPS_Raash says:
::continues working her search.::

CIV_Serok says:
~~~ R'Mara:  You are not as adept as you think, if you think I am looking for your name. ~~~

CSO_Elbran says:
*CO*: Will do Captain, Elbran out.

CO_AQilla_Horn says:
::nods satisfied and then returns to the interrogation room::

CSO_Elbran says:
::Enters the turbolift and heads towards sickbay::

XO_Garta-Nmbarri says:
::watches the silent interrogation that the CIV is attempting::

XO_Garta-Nmbarri says:
CO: Welcome back, Captain.

CIV_Serok says:
:: concentrates harder ::

CO_AQilla_Horn says:
XO:  Thank you, Commander.  ::takes the formerly offered seat::

CSO_Elbran says:
::Exits the turbolift and walks towards sickbay::

OPS_Raash says:
::checks the housekeeping schedule to find out which personnel were to be in those two places at the right time::

R`Mara says:
~~~ CIV: I admit you are far better at this then most who attempt to enter my mind, I do so love a challenge. I must say I'm tempted to look in you, find out how you became so adept at this, but I will resist that urge, it's far more entertaining to watch you looking around my mind in vain. ~~~

CO_AQilla_Horn says:
::realizes she's sitting on the XO and hurriedly gets up::

XO_Garta-Nmbarri says:
CO: Perhaps I should move?

XO_Garta-Nmbarri says:
::stands up and allows the CO to take the seat::

CO_AQilla_Horn says:
::chuckles:: XO:  No, it's fine, Commander.  But I may have another job for  you ...

XO_Garta-Nmbarri says:
CO: What ever you need me to do, I will do Ma'am.

OPS_Raash says:
::scans the interior of the ship to prove where housekeeping staff are::

Host Gerry says:
ACTION:  Both CIV and R'Mara are exerting a great deal of energy in this mental conflict...

CIV_Serok says:
~~~ R'Mara:  You may look all you wish.  And eventually, I will find what I want.  Even if it means there is nothing to find.  Which I doubt, you are trying to hard to keep me out. ~~~

CSO_Elbran says:
::Enters Sickbay and looks around for the doctor:: Calls:: Doctor Sopok?

OPS_Raash says:
<Sopok> ::exits the office:: CSO: Yes, Lieutenant, I am aware of your reason to be here.  Come, let us take your scan to the lab.

CO_AQilla_Horn says:
<whispers> XO:  We have had two attempts at infiltration in the computer core.  Hopefully we will get an identification of the perpetrator soon.  We may have a Wuh'sha operative on board.  I'd like you to co-ordinate with security and find out if we have an infiltrator on board.

CIV_Serok says:
~~~ R'Mara:  I do not wish for this to become painful for either of us, but I will if I must. ~~~

CSO_Elbran says:
::Follows the doctor and hands him the tricorder::

R`Mara says:
~~~ CIV: I try to keep you out, because I vastly enjoy a good battle of wills, and you are proving to be the best competition I've ever had. ~~~ CO/XO: You should be proud of Captain Serok, she is quite adept at this.

CSO_Elbran says:
Dr Sopok: It's a fresh signature, it should be able to tell us something.

XO_Garta-Nmbarri says:
CO: Understood.  If you will excuse me? ::turns to leave, stops and looks back at the CO:: CO: You may have the big comfy chair now, Ma'am. ::grins::

OPS_Raash says:
<Sopok> ::takes the tricorder as they enter the lab:: CSO: This shouldn't take long.  We have the profile of everyone on board.

CO_AQilla_Horn says:
::nods:: XO:  Thank you, Commander.  Hopefully it is as comfortable as you lap ... ::grins::

OPS_Raash says:
<Sopok> ::downloads the tricorder information into the lab computer::

Host Gerry says:
ACTION:  Both CIV and R'Mara begin to sweat with exertion...

CIV_Serok says:
:: continues to concentrate ::   ~~~R'Mara:  This will not be comfortable. ~~~ :: takes the probing up a level ::

XO_Garta-Nmbarri says:
::leaves Security:: *Computer* Locate CSO Elbran.

CIV_Serok says:
:: feels the sweat running down her forehead and back ::

R`Mara says:
~~~ CIV: By all means Captain, make it as painful as you wish.~~~ ::brow furrowed::

FCO_Heath says:
::relaxes her guard opening herself to more of what is happening on the ship::

CO_AQilla_Horn says:
::is growing concerned for the CIV's safety::

OPS_Raash says:
<Sopok> CSO: And there is our answer.  Petty Officer Sobek a member of the housekeeping staff.

Host Gerry says:
ACTION:  Both the CIV and R'Mara are beginning to feel the effort and pain, and are weakening...

OPS_Raash says:
::finds 3 housekeeping staff not at their assigned locations::

R`Mara says:
::decides to look through the CIV's most painful memories and show them to her::

XO_Garta-Nmbarri says:
<computer> XO: CSO Elbran is located in the medical lab.

Host Gerry says:
ACTION:  R'Mara's action fails to produce results as the CIV's mental shields remain intact

FCO_Heath says:
::as she lowers her guard she senses something that she didn't expect::

XO_Garta-Nmbarri says:
::heads for the medical lab::

CO_AQilla_Horn says:
::sees this is taking a toll on the CIV:: *Sickbay*:  Horn to sickbay.  Send a medical team to security.

OPS_Raash says:
::begins searching for those three biosigns.::

R`Mara says:
~~~ CIV: Very good Captain. But there is one thing I can do. I can give you MY most painful memories, have a taste ~~~ ::releases his most painful memory, though one that would not reveal who or what he is, showing the CIV people being tortured in horrific ways::
CIV_Serok says:
~~~ R'Mara:  I have come to terms with my past and my pain, as I said, you may look all you wish. ~~~

CSO_Elbran says:
*OPS/CO* : Elbran to the Bridge.

CO_AQilla_Horn says:
*CSO*:  Horn here, Lt.

OPS_Raash says:
*CSO* Raash here, go ahead.

CIV_Serok says:
~~~ R'Mara:  I have seen far worse than this. ~~~  :: turns the vision back at R'Mara ::

CSO_Elbran says:
*OPS/CO*: I have an id on the DNA, its petty officer Sobek!

XO_Garta-Nmbarri says:
::Enters the medical lab, and sees the CSO:: CSO: Have you found any relevant information?

CSO_Elbran says:
XO: In fact we have. The DNA on the console belongs to petty officer Sobek.

CO_AQilla_Horn says:
*CSO*:  Have security take him into custody and bring him to me ...

XO_Garta-Nmbarri says:
Computer: Location of Petty Officer Sobek?

CIV_Serok says:
:: begins to feel the strain ::

OPS_Raash says:
::looks at her search and finds Sobek is one of the missing housekeeping staff and sees his location::

FCO_Heath says:
OPS: Open a channel toward that sensor echo.  I believe that it may be another ship.

OPS_Raash says:
*CSO* Petty Officer Sobek is in Jeffries tube on Deck 34, junction 47.  He is 5 decks away from his assigned location.

CSO_Elbran says:
XO: The captains standing orders are for Petty Officer Sobek to be taken into custody.

OPS_Raash says:
FCO: Aye Ma'am. ::opens a com channel:: Channel opened.

CIV_Serok says:
:: concentrates harder :: ~~~ R'Mara:  This will be very painful ~~~  :: takes the meld up another level ::

XO_Garta-Nmbarri says:
*Sec Team Alpha* This is XO Garta-Nmbarri, converge in the Jeffries tube on deck 34, junction 47.  I want petty officer Sobek taken into custody, and taken to the security office immediately.

Host Gerry says:
ACTION:  Both mind-meld combatants begin to shake with effort

CIV_Serok says:
:: pain showing on her face, but she remains in the mind lock with R'Mara ::

CO_AQilla_Horn says:
CIV:  Captain?  Break the meld!

R`Mara says:
~~~ CIV: I congratulate you on your persistence, you are wearing me thin. You deserve to find what you are looking for, though I'll can't let you find it. I will tell you however, my name is R'Mara, but you have probably found that already ~~~ ::barely holds in the shriek of pain::

CO_AQilla_Horn says:
CTO:  Get medical down here now!

CTO_Horn says:
XO: Should I stun him?

CO_AQilla_Horn says:
CTO:  No ... that could harm Capt Serok as well ...

FCO_Heath says:
COMM: Pursuing vessel, this is the USS Scorpius, we are currently on a patrol route, please identify yourselves.

XO_Garta-Nmbarri says:
*CTO* Commander, I just had Security team alpha converge in the Jeffries tube on deck 34, junction 47.  I hope to have more company for you soon.

Host Gerry says:

FCO_Heath says:
ALL: Shields up! ::activates evasive::

CIV_Serok says:
~~~ R'Mara:  I know.....already.....more than.....you think.....You are.....Dark Horse,....why fight so.....long and hard......with such skill.~~~

Host Gerry says:

CTO_Horn says:
CO: We are under attack!

R`Mara says:
::the meld is too much and he sheiks out his code name in desperation:: Dark.... Horse........................................... NOOOOOOooooooooo!!!!

Host Gerry says:
ACTION:  R'Mara's mental shields collapse...

FCO_Heath says:
