USS Scorpius -- NCC 50666 -- 10505.28

"Rock and a Hard Place"

Episode 13: "Revelations"

Previously on the USS Scorpius:

It has been about a day, and the requested counsel for the closed-mouth prisoner in the brig will be arriving momentarily with new departments head replacements.

The CO has been returned to duty and the new CTO has had time to at least unpack his bags.

It is now 0800 hours ship's time, and alpha watch has begun.

The USS Scorpius continues to orbit Kaltex 4 as it mops up after exposing the plot of attempted genocide...

FCO:  Identity?

Sopok says:
CMO: Do you not desire to read your release orders?

CEO_Deer says:
@Tia: But I know I will get used to her quickly.

CMO_Garta-Nmbarri says:
Sopok: Why bother?  I know how to take care of the babies and I already know about the clause at the bottom that says I have to take leave before returning to work.

FCO_Heath says:
CIV: Identifies as transport shuttle, Wintu.

CO_AQilla_Horn says:
::orders the TL to the bridge::

XO_Garta-Nmbarri says:
FCO: Are we expecting visitors?

Sopok says:
CMO: You are not against the leave?

CSO_On`Tia says:
@Deer: At least I'm going to be on a ship.

CIV_Serok says:
FCO/XO:  That should be our Advocate.

CEO_Deer says:
Tia: Make that we are going to be on that ship together.

CTO_Horn says:
CO: I have made it my personal mission to bring down Section 31.

FCO_Heath says:
XO: Yes, Sir, we are, as well as replacement crew.

CSO_On`Tia says:
@Deer: You can keep me from being lost then?

XO_Garta-Nmbarri says:
CIV: Oh yes, Him.  I forgot about his arrival.  FCO: Make all necessary preparations, and have them dock.  

CO_AQilla_Horn says:
CTO:  You and me both, Commander.  I don't appreciate people shooting at me ...

CO_AQilla_Horn says:
::feels the TL slow as it arrives on the bridge.  The doors open and she steps out::

CIV_Serok says:
XO:  I will go and meet the Advocate, Commander.

XO_Garta-Nmbarri says:
CIV: A logical course of action, Captain.  

CO_AQilla_Horn says:
ALL:  Report!

FCO_Heath says:
::nods:: XO: Aye, Sir.  

ACTION:  The shuttle comes to a stop alongside the Scorpius

XO_Garta-Nmbarri says:
CIV: Please extend our welcome to him.

CMO_Garta-Nmbarri says:
Sopok: Well, you wouldn't let me leave without signing it and if something happens, I can always assert CMO's prerogative and come to duty anyway. ::grins and picks up T'Les::

FCO_Heath says:
::Contacts the shuttle with docking instructions::

Nulahr says:
::picks up Barrak and holds DeeDee's hand::

CIV_Serok says:
:: Nods at the XO :: CO:  The Advocate is here Captain.  I am going to meet him now.

CO_AQilla_Horn says:
CIV:  Excellent.  Perhaps now we can get somewhere ... I also understand we have some replacement crew members as well.

Sopok says:
CMO: Possibly, however, it is a mute discussion at the time.

CTO_Horn says:
::Follows his wife onto the bridge: CO: We will talk more later.

XO_Garta-Nmbarri says:
CO: The Klingon vessels DaHjaj SoH Hegh, Kah’Vobar and J’Nai be’Joy will be joining us shortly.  Although they are ordered to run silently, I will know they are here, and I suspect so will you.

ACTION:  the Shuttle responds and acheives hard-dock with the Scorpius on Deck 3

CIV_Serok says:
CO:  The FCO has confirmed that we do have replacements as well.

CMO_Garta-Nmbarri says:
Nulahr: Hmm, picture that...a Vulcan who doesn't want to discuss. ::grins:: Let's go before he changes his mind::

FCO_Heath says:
::double checks the course for sector 727, makes sure the rest of her orders are complied with::

CMO_Garta-Nmbarri says:
*XO* Commander, your family has been released from sickbay.  We are heading home.

CO_AQilla_Horn says:
CIV:  Have them report to me here.

CIV_Serok says:
CO/XO:  If you will excuse me, I will go and meet the Advocate now.

CTO_Horn says:
CO: Should I go meet our new arrivals?

CIV_Serok says:
CO:  Aye Captain.

CMO_Garta-Nmbarri says:
::leaves the maternity ward and heads to the turbolift::

XO_Garta-Nmbarri says:
*CMO* Very good, Dear.  Let me know if you need anything.  Oh, your family should be arriving shortly also.

FCO_Heath says:
::monitors communications::

CEO_Deer says:
@Tia: Not to worry I will.

CIV_Serok says:
:: leaves the bridge and heads to meet the Advocate ::

CO_AQilla_Horn says:
CTO:  No.  Captain Serok can meet them and have them escorted to the bridge.  I need you at your station.  I've got a feeling the fireworks are going to start soon if our message was received ...

CMO_Garta-Nmbarri says:
*XO*: Good, I hope you remembered to request guest quarters.

CSO_On`Tia says:
@Deer: I'm going to need a map, I just know it.

CTO_Horn says:
CO: I have an idea.

XO_Garta-Nmbarri says:
*CMO* I have.  They will be adjacent to our quarters.

CO_AQilla_Horn says:
CTO:  Let's hear it.

CTO_Horn says:
CO: Not out here.

Sopok says:
::watches as the Garta-Nmbarri's leave then heads into ICU::

CO_AQilla_Horn says:
XO:  Take the bridge, Commander.  ::motions to the CTO to join her in her RR::

CIV_Serok says:
:: stands and waits for the door to open ::

XO_Garta-Nmbarri says:
CO: Aye, Ma'am.

CTO_Horn says:
CO: Actually I think T'Lok should join us.

ACTION:  The door to the shuttle opens and admits the CSO, CEO, and Captain Willis from JAG

CO_AQilla_Horn says:
::raises an eyebrow:: XO:  Please join us.  FCO:  You have the bridge.  Inform me the moment our two new arrivals get to the bridge and have them report to me.

CTO_Horn says:
::Follows the captain::

CEO_Deer says:
::walks off the shuttle and holds Shoshoni tightly and sets her bags down and snaps to::

CIV_Serok says:
:: Nods to the guest and new crew :: CSO/CEO:  Ensigns, I am Captain Serok, Civilian Liaison.  Welcome aboard the Scorpius.

CMO_Garta-Nmbarri says:
::enters the turbolift and orders it home::

XO_Garta-Nmbarri says:
::Follows the CO and the CTO to the Ready Room::

CEO_Deer says:
CIV: It is a pleasure to be here sir.  ::snaps a quick salute::

CO_AQilla_Horn says:
::takes her seat and waits for the others to be seated.

CIV_Serok says:
CSO/CEO:  Captain Horn awaits you on the bridge.

CTO_Horn says:
::Takes a seat::

CSO_On`Tia says:
::followed Deer and snaps to attention in front of the CIV::

XO_Garta-Nmbarri says:
::sits down::

CO_AQilla_Horn says:
CTO:  Let’s hear it.

CTO_Horn says:
CO: I think we need to draw a lot of attention.

CO_AQilla_Horn says:
XO:  Feel free to share your thoughts, commander.

Capt_Willis says:
::nods to CIV::  CIV:  A pleasure, Captain.  I take it you have been counsel honoraria while I was in transit?

CO_AQilla_Horn says:
CTO:  You want to draw them out

XO_Garta-Nmbarri says:
CO: are we ready to implement our plan yet?

CMO_Garta-Nmbarri says:
::exits the lift and arrives in their quarters::

CIV_Serok says:
Willis:  I have been Captain, although, the prisoner has been less than enthusiastic about it.

CO_AQilla_Horn says:
XO:  So long as those ships are promised me are here, then yes we are.

CTO_Horn says:
CO: Yes.

Nulahr says:
::lays the babies down on a small mat:: DeeDee: You may watch them but be gentle.

CTO_Horn says:
XO: Ships?

XO_Garta-Nmbarri says:
CO: They are not here yet.  However, they will be here shortly.  I will know when they have arrived.  I will inform you at that point.

CO_AQilla_Horn says:
CTO:  We have 3 Klingon warships watching our back ... they're our insurance.

XO_Garta-Nmbarri says:
::Turns to the CTO:: CTO: Yes.  We are smart enough not to take on section 31 alone.  So, I called for a bit of back up.

Capt_Willis says:
CIV:  From what Admiral Taylor has told me, that is completely understandable.  I had best see your Captain before I see the prisoner, Captain.

CIV_Serok says:
Willis:  Pardon me a moment Captain.

CTO_Horn says:
CO/XO: That was what I had in mind.

XO_Garta-Nmbarri says:
CO/CTO: Two birds of prey, and one battle cruiser.

Capt_Willis says:
CIV:  Of course, Captain.

CIV_Serok says:
:: Turns to the CEO and CSO::  CEO/CSO:  This officer will show you to the bridge.

CO_AQilla_Horn says:
::smiles:: CTO:  I believe we may have just done as you suggest.  The false message we sent should force their hand.  And if they do try to take us out we do have backup ...

CMO_Garta-Nmbarri says:
::lies down on the couch where she can see DeeDee and the twins playing::

OPS H’lo says:
CEO/CSO:  If you will follow me please.

CTO_Horn says:
CO: We know that Section 31 is monitoring our transmissions, correct?

CO_AQilla_Horn says:
CTO:  Correct.

CTO_Horn says:
CO: What message was sent?

XO_Garta-Nmbarri says:
CO: I do hope that no harm comes to my ships, especially the battle cruiser.  She is my newest vessel, named for my wife.

CIV_Serok says:
:: Turns back to Willis :: Willis:  Now Captain, if you will follow me to the brig.  :: She motioned with her hand ::

CEO_Deer says:
::walks with the OPS officer and the CIV::

CO_AQilla_Horn says:
CTO:  We've intimated that Admiral Thompson has talked ... Now if you were Section 31 and you thought your secrets had been spilled, what would you do?

CSO_On`Tia says:
::also walks with the OPS Officer and the CIV::

OPS H’lo says:
:: Walks into the turbolift :: Computer:  Bridge.

Capt_Willis says:
::surprised:: CIV:  Of course.  ::follows the CIV::  You understand that I will need a complete record of everything from the time of the Admiral's detention, correct?

CTO_Horn says:
CO: I knew there was a real good reason I love you. That was what I had in mind.

CIV_Serok says:
Willis:  Of course Captain.

CEO_Deer says:
OPS: How many years has this ship frame seen action before her last refit?

ACTION:  A Shuttle is coming toward the Scorpius from the surface of Kaltex 4

CSO_On`Tia says:
::is trying not to look too nervous::

CO_AQilla_Horn says:
::smiles::  CTO:  What we need to do now is be ready.  I'll leave security in your hands.

FCO_Heath says:
::looks up:: ALL: We have a shuttle coming toward us from Kaltex.

CO_AQilla_Horn says:
XO:  Get the rest of the crew ready.

XO_Garta-Nmbarri says:
CO: Will do, Ma'am.

CO_AQilla_Horn says:
XO/CTO:  Dismissed.  ::gets up::

OPS H’lo says:
CEO:  I'm not sure Sir.

CTO_Horn says:
CO: I need the authority to go to red alert at the first sign of trouble.

CTO_Horn says:
CO: If we hesitate in the least bit it may be our undoing

XO_Garta-Nmbarri says:
::Gets up and heads for the bridge::

CO_AQilla_Horn says:
CTO:  Just say the word, Commander.

OPS H’lo says:
:: exits the lift onto the bridge :: CEO/CSO:  Here we are.  :: Motions with his hand :: After you.

CTO_Horn says:
CO: You can count on this to work.

FCO_Heath says:
::receives the report from the shuttle and acknowledges:: *CO/XO* we have a shuttle approaching with members of the house of Garta-Nmbarri on board.

CO_AQilla_Horn says:
::exits the RR onto the bridge:: CTO:  I'm staking all our lives on it, Commander.

XO_Garta-Nmbarri says:
CO/CTO: You can also count on our back up working.

CIV_Serok says:
:: arrives at the brig ::

XO_Garta-Nmbarri says:
::Enters the bridge:: FCO: Very good.  Allow them to dock.

Capt_Willis says:
::arrives at the Brig with CIV::

FCO_Heath says:
CO/XO: The shuttle is within transporter range.

OPS_H'lo says:
XO:  Commander, Ensigns Deer and On'Tia.

CEO_Deer says:
::looks for the commanding officer and spies him::

XO_Garta-Nmbarri says:
OPS: Very good. ::Looks at the new crew members::

CSO_On`Tia says:
::looks around the bridge still following the CEO::

CEO_Deer says:
::snaps to:: CO: Permission to board the USS Scorpius, Sir?

CTO_Horn says:
::Enters back onto the bridge::

FCO_Heath says:
XO: Aye, sir.  I'll inform them.  ::contacts the shuttle to give them docking instructions for starboard docking bay on deck 8::

CIV_Serok says:
Willis: He is right down here.  :: walks to the sec station and picks up a PADD ::

CO_AQilla_Horn says:
CEO:  Permission granted, Ensign.  Now relax, welcome aboard, and assume your station.

XO_Garta-Nmbarri says:
CEO/CSO: Welcome aboard.  Normally, I would send you to sickbay for a physical, but tonight, we need you to get right to work.

CIV_Serok says:
:: Hands the PADD to Willis :: Willis:  This has all the information on it you will need.

CEO_Deer says:
CO: Thank you sir.

CSO_On`Tia says:
::also snaps to attention:: CO: Permission to come aboard Ma'am?

XO_Garta-Nmbarri says:
::Whispers to the CO:: CO: Ma'am, our friends are with us now.

CO_AQilla_Horn says:
::smiles:: CSO:  Permission granted and welcome aboard, Ensign.

CO_AQilla_Horn says:
XO:  Thank you, Commander ... and please don't call me Ma'am!

CEO_Deer says:
CO: Sir a question if I may?

CO_AQilla_Horn says:
CEO:  Fire away, Ensign.

OPS_H'lo says:
:: leaves the bridge and goes back to his post ::

XO_Garta-Nmbarri says:
::Looks at the CO:: CO: I have called you Ma'am for a very long time now.  I never knew it bothered you.

CSO_On`Tia says:
CO: Thank you Sir, and sorry.

CEO_Deer says:
CO: Sir how old is the space frame and when was it last refit?

CTO_Horn says:
::Runs a quick diagnostic on weapons and shields::

CO_AQilla_Horn says:
::shrugs and laughs:: XO: Don't worry about it, Commander.

CO_AQilla_Horn says:
CEO:  All that information should be in the computer, Ensign.  I suggest you look it up.

CTO_Horn says:
CO: And if I should call you Ma'am?

CIV_Serok says:
Willis:  Would  you prefer that I leave you alone with your client?

CO_AQilla_Horn says:
CEO:  But I believe it was 8 months ago after a rather nasty run-in with the Gorn ... ::watches the CEO's face::

CTO_Horn says:
::Smiles at the CO::

CEO_Deer says:
::raises an eyebrow:: CO: That recent????

FCO_Heath says:
::continues to monitor sensors and communications::

Capt_Willis says:
CIV:  Yes, thank you, Captain.  I'm sure we have a great deal to discuss.  ::frowns at the Admiral::

CO_AQilla_Horn says:
CTO:  Then I'll just have to say something later, won't I ... ::grins::

CIV_Serok says:
:: Nods :: Willis:  As you wish Captain.  :: turns to leave ::

CO_AQilla_Horn says:
CEO:  Yes, Ensign.  Now please assume your station.

XO_Garta-Nmbarri says:
::Takes a seat in his chair, to the right of the CO::

CTO_Horn says:
CO: I will make myself available at your discretion.

CO_AQilla_Horn says:
CSO:  Ensign, begin monitoring long range sensors ... you're looking for incoming vessels.

CSO_On`Tia says:
CO: Yes Sir. ::Assumes her station::

CEO_Deer says:
CO: Yes sir.  ::walks to her engineering console and gives it the commands::

Capt_Willis says:
::enters the brig cell and requests a privacy sound screen for him and his client::

CO_AQilla_Horn says:
FCO:  Picking up anything on comms, Lt?

CIV_Serok says:
:: Exits the brig and walks down the hall to the turbolift and enters :: Computer:  Bridge.

FCO_Heath says:
CO: Nothing unusual, Captain.

CSO_On`Tia says:
::begins monitoring, using long range sensors::

XO_Garta-Nmbarri says:
CO: Ma....err, Sir, I will have a secure connection to our friends, in case we need them.  They are awaiting my signal on an obscure Klingon Channel.

CEO_Deer says:
Computer: Open Engineering Console Voice ID CEO Ens. Deer Recognition code 56434 Gamma.

CEO_Deer says:
::watches as the console jumps to life::

CO_AQilla_Horn says:
XO:  Good.  Now ... I would have expected something from the bad guys before now ....

CIV_Serok says:
:: exits the turbolift onto the bridge ::

CMO_Garta-Nmbarri says:
::drifts to sleep on the couch hearing DeeDee giggle and the twins coo and gurgle::

XO_Garta-Nmbarri says:
CO: However, they might suspect a trick, and are therefore playing cautiously.

CO_AQilla_Horn says:
CEO:  Have your department ready to respond in case something does happen ...

COMPUTER says:
CEO: Voice recognition is accepted ID accepted.

CEO_Deer says:
CO: Not a problem sir.

FCO_Heath says:
CO: Kaltex 4 reports that all crowd control situations are well in hand, all medical situations are under control and Scorpius medical personnel may be recalled.  We are ready to transport the medical teams on your order, Sir.

CO_AQilla_Horn says:
XO:  It is possible ... but the stakes are just too high for them not to investigate whether they believe it or not ...

CEO_Deer says:
*Engineering*: This is your new CEO, I want department reports in 10 minutes or you will be doing double duty.

XO_Garta-Nmbarri says:
CO: Either way, our friends are ready.

CO_AQilla_Horn says:
FCO:  Transport the teams.  And send a message to the Kaltaxian government and pass on my best wishes.

FCO_Heath says:
CO: Yes, Captain.  ::begins transport and relays the Captain's message:: CO: Message sent.

Engineering officer says:
*CEO*: Excuse me Ma'am????  New CEO????

XO_Garta-Nmbarri says:
CO: The new CEO sounds like a real go getter.

CEO_Deer says:
*Engineering officer*: Yes I am the new CEO and don't call me ma'am ever.  You address me as sir.

XO_Garta-Nmbarri says:
::Chuckles as he overhears the CEO:: CO: And, she sounds a bit like you too.

CO_AQilla_Horn says:
::chuckles and whispers:: XO:  Sound familiar?

CIV_Serok says:
:: moves to an empty console and sits ::

XO_Garta-Nmbarri says:
CO: I think the two of you will get along wonderfully.

CO_AQilla_Horn says:
::laughs:: XO:  Let's start making ourselves some kind of target ... any ideas?

CEO_Deer says:
Self: Bloody youngsters.

CSO_On`Tia says:
::concentrates on her job and the sensors before her::

CO_AQilla_Horn says:
CSO:  Anything on sensors?

XO_Garta-Nmbarri says:
CO: Perhaps another false message, one saying we are heading to sector 727?

FCO_Heath says:
::finishes the transports:: CO:  All Scorpius personnel are back on the ship.   Kaltax has responded with God speed and thank you.

XO_Garta-Nmbarri says:
CO: Or, simply begin heading in that direction?

CSO_On`Tia says:
CO: No Sir, nothing yet. 

CEO_Deer says:
*Engineering*: ALL: Be prepared to have a staff meeting at 15:30 hours and I mean everyone!!

CTO_Horn says:
::Moves to the Captain::

CO_AQilla_Horn says:
XO:  I agree.  Inform the other ships of our plan.  FCO:  Once the teams are aboard prepare to leave orbit.

CEO_Deer says:
CO: Sir how has engineering been performing before I came aboard?

CTO_Horn says:
CO: I have a thought?

ACTION:  the last of the Medical teams has beamed aboard

XO_Garta-Nmbarri says:
::Opens a secure link to their "friends", informing them of the current situation and the subsequent plan of action::

CO_AQilla_Horn says:
CEO:  You sure have a lot of questions, Ensign.  But as far as I know they have performed admirably.  I think you'll find everything down there is as it should be.

CO_AQilla_Horn says:
CTO:  Commander?

FCO_Heath says:
::contacts the other ships with the course and plan to set course to sector 727:: CO: Course set and ready on your command.

CTO_Horn says:
CO: What is the best target for the hunter?

XO_Garta-Nmbarri says:
CSO: Ensign, are you reading any out of place readings in near proximity to the Scorpius?

CO_AQilla_Horn says:
CTO:  The hunted ... in other words us ...

CO_AQilla_Horn says:
CTO:  A cloaked vessel ...

CEO_Deer says:
CO: Well then the transition should be smooth then.

CTO_Horn says:
CO: But wouldn’t you want to have an advantage.

CSO_On`Tia says:
XO: No Sir, nothing out of the ordinary.

Engineering Officer says:
*CEO*: Understood sir.

XO_Garta-Nmbarri says:
CSO: If that changes, in any way no matter how big or small, you inform me and the Captain immediately.

CSO_On`Tia says:
XO: Yes sir, of course Sir.

XO_Garta-Nmbarri says:
::whispers to the CO again:: CO: The new upgraded cloaks that our friends are using are working great.

CO_AQilla_Horn says:
CTO:  I would indeed ... I think I see where you're going.   I'm guessing they would have access to some kind of cloaking technology ...

CTO_Horn says:
CO: Somewhere along the way we should have some sort of engine problem. Crippled prey makes for an "easy" target.

CEO_Deer says:
::beings to run her diagnostics of all engineering systems::

FCO_Heath says:
CO: Shall I engage course to sector 727?

CO_AQilla_Horn says:
::smiles:: CEO:  Ensign ... for your first assignment on the Scorpius ... make us look like we've got the worst functioning engines in Starfleet ... make it look to anyone that is scanning us that we are crippled ...

CO_AQilla_Horn says:
FCO:  Negative, Lieutenant ...

CEO_Deer says:
::looks at the captain with a puzzled expression:: CO: Sir?????? You want me to make us look like we are disabled???

CO_AQilla_Horn says:
CEO:  You heard the order, Ensign.

CEO_Deer says:
::shakes head::  CO: Understood.

CTO_Horn says:
CO: That should draw them out. Then,  once they are totally committed, we spring the trap.

CSO_On`Tia says:
::continues to scan::

FCO_Heath says:
CO: Understood.

CO_AQilla_Horn says:
CTO:  Prepare the ship for possible boarding ...

XO_Garta-Nmbarri says:
CO: Would you like a few of our friends to join us on the ship, or are they ok where they are now?

CO_AQilla_Horn says:
CTO:  Just in case.  And bring all defensive systems to standby but make it look like we're helpless ...

CTO_Horn says:
CO: Today will be a day long remembered by the Federation. It has seen the end of Thompson and will soon see the end of Section 31.

CEO_Deer says:
::hands fly over the console as if guided and literally screws up the warp drive and then the impulse engines but only an exaggeration::

CO_AQilla_Horn says:
XO: No, not just yet.  Have them hold position ...

XO_Garta-Nmbarri says:
CO: They are holding, awaiting our commands.

CEO_Deer says:
CO: I have made it appear as if we are immobile.

CEO_Deer says:
CO: But sir engines and warp are in fine shape.

XO_Garta-Nmbarri says:
::Sends another encrypted message to the Klingons, informing them to follow the Scorpius at warp, but not closely, and to zigzag their course, make it look less obvious that they are following the Scorp::

CO_AQilla_Horn says:
CTO/XO:  Let's head to Sector 727 ... we'll spring the trap there.  XO:  Inform the fleet we are moving out.  FCO:  Engage engines, warp 7.

FCO_Heath says:
CO: Understood, engaging warp 7.  ::engages warp as ordered::

XO_Garta-Nmbarri says:
CO: One step ahead of you, Sir.  Also, they won’t follow directly behind us.  They will randomly alter course to make it look less obvious that they are following us.

CTO_Horn says:
::Goes back to his station and begins preparing for the charade::

CEO_Deer says:
::watches the power girds as they enter warp::

CO_AQilla_Horn says:
::smiles and hopes this will work::

ACTION:   The Scorpius flies into warp toward Sector 727...
