<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<< Resume Mission >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>

CO_AQilla_Horn says:
::standing in holodeck 1 waiting for the crew to assemble so she can begin::

XO_Mahl says:
::In his quarters, wondering if he attending the memorial service for his predecessor would be appropriate or not.  He decides to go, but will remain in the back of the room, in the shadows.  He leaves his quarters and heads for holodeck 1::

FADM_Taylor says:
::walks with solemn expression toward the holodeck::

CNS_Rand says:
::finishes dressing and heads out of her quarters, feeling drowsy...makes her way to holodeck 1::

XO_Mahl says:
::Arrives at the holodeck, enters quietly, and find a spot in the back of the room and sits down::

FADM_Taylor says:
::arrives at the holodeck::

CO_AQilla_Horn says:
::nods to the Admiral as he arrives::

CO_AQilla_Horn says:
ALL:  If we are ready we will begin.

 FADM_Taylor says:
::nods and looks to the CO for where to be seated::

CNS_Rand says:
::enters the holodeck and sits down in the back of the room::

CO_AQilla_Horn says:
::indicates a seat to her left::

CO_AQilla_Horn says:
ALL:  Cmdr T'Lok Nmbarri…Warrior and yet so much more.

FADM_Taylor says:
::sits where the CO has indicated::

XO_Mahl says:
::Sits quietly, head bowed::

CO_AQilla_Horn says:
ALL:  I have so many memories of him during his service on the Scorpius, far too many to go into here.  He was fearless, at times aggressive.  He was compassionate and loving.

CO_AQilla_Horn says:
ALL:  He gave his life to save his superior officer.  For that I have no way to thank him.  But he died doing his duty ... an honorable death for an honorable man.

CO_AQilla_Horn says:
ALL:  T'Lok recorded messages for all of us to be played on his death.  For those who wish to view them they are available in the ship's computer.

CO_AQilla_Horn says:
ALL:  We will miss T'Lok on the Scorpius.

CO_AQilla_Horn says:
ALL:  If anyone wishes to say anything, please come forward now.  ::looks around to the Admiral::

FADM_Taylor says:
::stands::

CO_AQilla_Horn says:
::steps back::

 FADM_Taylor says:
::walks to the front and turns to face the assembly::

CO_AQilla_Horn says:
::takes her seat::

CNS_Rand says:
::wipes a tear from her eye and nods as she listens to the words being said::
 
FADM_Taylor says:
ALL:  Of all the duties I have as an Admiral, I find this one the most distasteful.  I have no way of expressing how much all my officers mean to me, and I find myself at a loss for words.  I have reviewed the logs of the incident, and words on a page and 14 horrible seconds of video feed tell only the briefest of tales.  After a review, no less than 14 admirals recognize that this action of Commander T'Lok Nmbarri was worthy of the highest award we can give:  The United Federation of Planets Medal of Honor.  I only wish it wasn't posthumous.

CO_AQilla_Horn says:
::nods her agreement::

FADM_Taylor says:
ALL:  According to his tradition, there is only one thing left for me to do.  ::looks up and screams at the top of his lungs::

CNS_Rand says:
::whispers under her breath:: Self: Well deserved, T'Lok.

FADM_Taylor says:
ALL:  This is to let the inhabitants of Sto-Vo-Kor know that a Warrior is coming.

CNS_Rand says:
::feels a chill run down her spine at the sound::

FADM_Taylor says:
T'Lok:  ::softly::  Godspeed Commander.

FADM_Taylor says:
::returns to his seat::

CO_AQilla_Horn says:
::gets up:: ALL:  Does anyone else wish to say anything?

CO_AQilla_Horn says:
::waits::

CNS_Rand says:
::stands:: ALL: T'Lok was a strong warrior, one to make his people proud.

CNS_Rand says:
ALL: He walked with honor and proved his honor in his sacrifice of himself.

CNS_Rand says:
ALL: Be proud, T'Lok, of a warriors life and a warrior's death!

CNS_Rand says:
::returns to her seat::

CO_AQilla_Horn says:
CNS:  Thank you, Kalla.

CO_AQilla_Horn says:
ALL:  Thank you for coming.  Dismissed.

CO_AQilla_Horn says:
XO:  Cmdr Mahl, could you stay, please.

XO_Mahl says:
CO: Yes, Sir.

FADM_Taylor says:
::rises::

CO_AQilla_Horn says:
Adm:  We need to talk, Admiral.  There is more going on here than even you are aware of, I think.

CNS_Rand says:
::nods...stands and moves toward the exit::

FADM_Taylor says:
CO:  Yes, that seems evident now.  ::shakes head::  I thought I had decent sources.

CNS_Rand says:
::heads back to her office to submit the finalized information to Starfleet in regards to the survivors that are on board::

CO_AQilla_Horn says:
ADM:  Admiral, this is Lt Cmdr Mahl, my new XO and formerly of the Don Johnson.  He may have some insight into what's going on but I have an idea.

CNS_Rand says:
::walks slowly down the corridor, thinking about the last few counseling sessions that she had with T'Lok::

FADM_Taylor says:
CO/XO:  If you'll pardon the pun gentlemen, I'm all ears.

CO_AQilla_Horn says:
::looks at Cmdr Mahl:: XO:  Let's hear it.

XO_Mahl says:
CO/ADM: There was some sort of activity happening on the station for a while.  When the DJ arrived, the station crew was very paranoid.  They were afraid of their own shadows, checking and double checking everyone’s credentials before being allowed to board the station.

XO_Mahl says:
CO/ADM: Things only went from bad to worse after our arrival.  People began to disappear.  The DJ had some crew members abducted as well.  We went into pursuit of the ship that we believed had the abducted personnel on board.  The registry traced to the USS Antria.  That ship was purported to be sold for salvage and was to be dismantled.  Obviously, it was not.

CO_AQilla_Horn says:
ADM:  It looks like there may have been some kind of slavery ring operating out of the Station.

CNS_Rand says:
::enters her office and orders a cup of Vulcan spiced tea, hot::

FADM_Taylor says:
::Raised Eyebrow::  CO/XO:  This is unheard of in this day and age.  XO:  Go on, Commander.

CO_AQilla_Horn says:
XO/ADM:  Admiral Monroe indicated that he knew something was happening .. But he never 
elaborated on what.

XO_Mahl says:
CO/ADM: And sadly, he was not one of the survivors on the list that made it off Star Base 245 before its destruction.

FADM_Taylor says:
CO/XO: ::mutters::  Wonderful.  So we're left with nothing but speculation again.

CO_AQilla_Horn says:
XO/ADM:  And the fact that the assassin yelled "for freedom" before he fired ...

FADM_Taylor says:
CO/XO:  Really?  That's intriguing...I haven't heard that battle cry in a long time...

CO_AQilla_Horn says:
ADM/XO:  It's also beginning to look like Starfleet personnel on the station may have been involved ... unfortunately we have no evidence ... that all blew up with the Station ...

XO_Mahl says:
CO/ADM: We caught up with the Antria, and boarded her.  However, all we found her carrying was 4 targs.  But, there was one strange point.  There seemed to be a blank spot, for lack of a better term, around the center of the ship.  Our sensors couldn’t penetrate it. 

FADM_Taylor says:
XO:  Likely where the captives were....

XO_Mahl says:
CO/ADM: We did a physical inspection of the area, but only found the targs.    

XO_Mahl says:
CO/ADM: Our engineering teams helped in repairs on the Antria, then we returned to the station.  Once we returned, we discovered the missing people were there.  It seems they were on a personnel carrier that was still docked at the station, at docking ring 4 I believe.

XO_Mahl says:
CO/ADM: It was about that time when I got my transfer orders.  I am sorry, but I have no more information for you after that point.

CO_AQilla_Horn says:
ADM:  I'd like to begin questioning the survivors we have onboard.

FADM_Taylor says:
XO:  Indeed.  Well, things must go on, and I'm glad you're here.  I've followed your career somewhat, and it's no accident you're here.

FADM_Taylor says:
CO:  A good place to start.

XO_Mahl says:
ADM: I served on the Scorpius once before, Sir.  She is a good ship.

CO_AQilla_Horn says:
*CNS*:  Horn to Lt Rand.

CNS_Rand says:
::pauses mid ship when she hears the COMM:: *CO* Rand here, how may I help you, Captain?

FADM_Taylor says:
XO:  That she is.  I'm counting on you to keep her that way.

CO_AQilla_Horn says:
*CNS*:  If you have the list of survivors from the Station, bring it and meet me at Cargo Bay 1.

XO_Mahl says:
ADM: I will do my best Sir.

CO_AQilla_Horn says:
::smiles:: ADM:  Care to join us, Admiral?

FADM_Taylor says:
CO:  Love to, Captain.  Lead on.

CNS_Rand says:
*CO* Yes, Ma'am. I've forwarded them to Starfleet Headquarters as well. ::stands and heads 
out to make her way to the Cargo Bay::

CO_AQilla_Horn says:
XO:  Cmdr, get to the bridge.  Retrieve whatever information on the current situation as you can, then meet us at the Cargo Bay.

XO_Mahl says:
CO: Understood Captain.  ::Excuses himself and goes to the bridge::

CO_AQilla_Horn says:
ADM:  This way, Admiral.  ::turns and leads the way::

FADM_Taylor says:
::follows the CO::

CNS_Rand says:
::takes another sip of tea as she walks down the corridor, the PADD carrying the wanted information in her other hand::

CO_AQilla_Horn says:
::head out the holodeck heading for Cargo Bay 1::

CO_AQilla_Horn says:
::walks silently along the corridor and enters the TL.  Waits for the Admiral to enter before ordering it to the appropriate deck::

FADM_Taylor says:
::enters after the CO::  

CO_AQilla_Horn says:
::quietly mutters to herself about the job she's done ... losing her XO and now the station itself::

FADM_Taylor says:
Computer:  Hold lift.

FADM_Taylor says:
CO:  AQuilla....you can't do that.

CNS_Rand says:
::walks the final few feet to the Cargo Bay:: Self: I need to make sure I have all the samples I need to confirm data while I'm here.

CO_AQilla_Horn says:
ADM:  Can't do what?

FADM_Taylor says:
CO:  You are NOT responsible for any of this.  T'Lok made his choice.  People on the station made their choice.

FADM_Taylor says:
CO:  You’re here to fix it.  You've not done anything to cause any of this.

CO_AQilla_Horn says:
ADM:  I should have seen it, Admiral ... the clues were there ...

CO_AQilla_Horn says:
Computer:  Resume.

CNS_Rand says:
::finishes her tea, and tries to remember where the recycler was set up in the Cargo Bay.::

FADM_Taylor says:
CO:  If I couldn't see it, I doubt anyone else could.  Please remember that.

CO_AQilla_Horn says:
Adm:  Perhaps ... ::feels the lift stop and walks briskly towards the Cargo Bay::

XO_Mahl says:
::Begins searching the computer for any and all information leading up to the destruction of the station::

CNS_Rand says:
::enters and places the cup in the recycler, speaks to a couple of the survivors as she makes her way back to the bay doors::

CO_AQilla_Horn says:
::reaches the Cargo Bay and enters::

FADM_Taylor says:
::enters and stands near the door, looking around::

CO_AQilla_Horn says:
::looks around for Kalla:: CNS:  Counselor?

CNS_Rand says:
::hears the doors open and turns to see the Captain and Admiral:: CO: I have the list you requested.

FADM_Taylor says:
::observes carefully::

CO_AQilla_Horn says:
CNS:  Thank you.  I'd like for you to join us in the debrief.  I could use your "eyes" so to speak.

CNS_Rand says:
::nods respectfully to the Admiral:: CO: Of course, Captain. I'll be glad to do what I can to assist.
