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

CMO_Ahkileez says:
::Walks into her empty quarters as the children and civilians were on red alert status.::

Host CO_Capt_Ahkileez says:
::sitting on his couch in his office staring out at the stars::

OPS_Ens_Kain says:
::Looks around for the captain, looking down at his console beeping.. taps his Combadge:: *CO*: Sir, I hate to interrupt, but there's a priority one message coming in for you.

CMO_Ahkileez says:
::Makes her way to the couch and sits down to stare out at the stars.  There was a dullness to them.  An emptiness that was drowning.::

Host CO_Capt_Ahkileez says:
::takes a deep breath and looks up:: *OPS*: I'll take it in here, Ensign. ::gets up and heads toward his desk to activate the secure line::

CNS_LtCmdr_Cephas says:
::Is on the Bridge as she makes sure that her staff is seeing to the orders handed down by the Captain about talking to every Vulcan on aboard::

Host VAdm_Sandage says:
ACTION: Vice Admiral Sandage appears on the Captain's viewer.

FCO_LtJg_Haynes says:
::Reviews the course variants before submitting them for final approval.::

CTO_Lt_Telgar-Nash says:
:: going through the roster to find the 3 man team the Captain wants ::

Host CO_Capt_Ahkileez says:
::stars down at the screen, bright in the dim room:: COM: Sandage: Admiral. I take it Command has received my proposal?

CNS_LtCmdr_Cephas says:
::when she is satisfied that the tasked is being dealt appropriately she places her console on standby and hovers down to the pit::

Host VAdm_Sandage says:
@ ::rolls eyes:: COM: Sharikahr: CO: Your proposal Captain.... you stirred up one huge bee's nest here in HQ.

OPS_Ens_Kain says:
::Sits at his console, relaxed now that the beeping had stopped. Taps a few buttons and continues to just stare at whatever popped up::

FCO_LtJg_Haynes says:
::Pulls up the Vulcan shared database with the missing ships noted from this sector.::

Host CO_Capt_Ahkileez says:
::keeps his burgundy eyes fixed on Sandage's:: COM: Sandage: I don't have a choice, sir. It's the only option.

CNS_LtCmdr_Cephas says:
FCO: Lt?  Are you at a point that you can help me to contact the Vulcan High Command now?

FCO_LtJg_Haynes says:
CNS:  Ma'am, I've managed to pull up the Federation archive of the lost Vulcan ships from this sector.

CTO_Lt_Telgar-Nash says:
:: finds 9 Vulcans who can speak Rhihannsu and write it as well ::

Host VAdm_Sandage says:
@ ::shakes his head:: COM: Sharikahr: CO: I figured as much.... the bureaucrats down here have no idea what to make of your "proposal" those that were never in space are having meetings and simulations and  Baaaah... it's sillier than lips on a chicken.

CNS_LtCmdr_Cephas says:
::nods:: FCO: Yes but the Captain also wanted to try and obtain personnel manifest on those ships.

Host CO_Capt_Ahkileez says:
::almost cracks a smile:: COM: Sandage: And their answer?

FCO_LtJg_Haynes says:
CNS: Right Cmdr,  Wanted to know what I was talking about when I talked to the Vulcan High Command. ::Smiles, handing her the PADD with the ship list.::

CNS_LtCmdr_Cephas says:
::smiles::  FCO: Excellent idea.

CNS_LtCmdr_Cephas says:
::looks over the list::

FCO_LtJg_Haynes says:
CNS: Tis only Logical.  ::Sits real serious like.::

Host VAdm_Sandage says:
@ COM: Sharikahr: CO: They don't have an answer... so.... I have to grant you "Unusual breath of discretion" for the duration of this mission..... it translates to...

Host CO_Capt_Ahkileez says:
::takes a breath and holds it::

CTO_Lt_Telgar-Nash says:
:: taps her Combadge :: *Tuvan/Sekul/Tapel*: Report to the security office to be briefed for an away mission.

CNS_LtCmdr_Cephas says:
FCO: Alright, let's see what we can get from them.  We will need to use the diplomatic channel in order to get through quickly.

Host VAdm_Sandage says:
@ COM: Sharikahr: CO: If they like the way you solve the mission and come back alive, you get a medal... if you come back alive and they don't like the way you solved the problem, you get a court-martial whether you solve the problem or not.

CTO_Lt_Telgar-Nash says:
:: turns and walks to the science console and begins to do some calculations. ::

FCO_LtJg_Haynes says:
CNS: Aye.  OPS: Ensign, can you get me the diplomatic channel ASAP?

Host CO_Capt_Ahkileez says:
::lifts his chin slowly, then nods:: COM: Sandage: Understood sir. I'd best be about it then.

OPS_Ens_Kain says:
::Looks up:: FCO: Yes, of course... ::Taps on his console and looks back over to her:: FCO: Should be ready now.

Host VAdm_Sandage says:
@ COM: Sharikahr: CO: One more thing son..... I can't get any backup out there.... at least not in time to be any useful help.... 

CNS_LtCmdr_Cephas says:
::as she waits for the comm to open::  CTO/OPS: Report how are we coming along with our orders?

Host VAdm_Sandage says:
@ COM: Sharikahr: CO: ... and I have tried. ::frowns::

FCO_LtJg_Haynes says:
::Takes a deep breath and nods the CNS.::  COM: Vulcan High Command:  Federation USS Sharikahr to the Vulcan High Command, Please come in.

Host CO_Capt_Ahkileez says:
::raises an eyebrow at the fact that he's likely older than the man referring to him as 'son':: COM: Sandage: I understand, Admiral. I didn't really expect it. The Sharikahr will take care of this.

OPS_Ens_Kain says:
*CNS*: I was just about to leave for the communications center. Just finishing up some work up here.

CNS_LtCmdr_Cephas says:
OPS: Understood let the bridge know how things proceed down there.

OPS_Ens_Kain says:
::Nods:: CNS: Will do. ::Stands from his console, nods to the FCO and heads for the TL::

Host VAdm_Sandage says:
@ COM: Sharikahr: CO: Good luck Captain....don't let the screen door hit you in your butt.

Host CO_Capt_Ahkileez says:
::his raised eyebrow lifts just a little higher at the admiral's strange sense of humor:: COM: Sandage. I'll take that under advisement. I'll talk to you when we get back.

OPS_Ens_Kain says:
TL: Communications center. ::Feels the TL whir into movement::

Host VAdm_Sandage says:
@ COM: Sharikahr: CO: You do that.... Sandage out.

Host CO_Capt_Ahkileez says:
::closes the screen down and takes a deep breath.:: Self: Sharikahr out. ::takes another breath and straightens, heading for the bridge::

FCO_LtJg_Haynes says:
CNS: They are not responding.  I'll try again.

CTO_Lt_Telgar-Nash says:
CNS:  I have the 3 Vulcan security officers being briefed as we speak.

OPS_Ens_Kain says:
::Steps out of the TL and walks down the hall, entering the communications center and looking around::

FCO_LtJg_Haynes says:
COM: Vulcan High Command: USS Sharikahr to the Vulcan High Command, please respond top priority.

Host CO_Capt_Ahkileez says:
::steps out on to the bridge and looks around:: All: Status report?

CNS_LtCmdr_Cephas says:
::sits a bit straighter as she sees the Captain come out and gives a report::  CO: Sir Ens. Kain has just left for the Communications Center on Deck 5, Lt Telgah-Nash has 3 Vulcan security officers being briefed now, and Lt Haynes is in the process now of trying to contacting the Vulcan High Command.

OPS_Ens_Kain says:
::Sits at a station and begins to do as the captain instructed, following a set of instructions::

CTO_Lt_Telgar-Nash says:
CO:  I have also started the calculations for when we hit orbit to get the information you want on the population Sir.

Host CO_Capt_Ahkileez says:
::looks around slowly and then faces his crew again:: All: Okay, ladies and gentlemen, I want you to begin moving down to the communications center immediately. Transfer anything you need down there. We'll continue operations from there.

Host VAdm_Sandage says:
ACTION: After contacting the Vulcan High Command, the data indicates 23 freighters have disappeared from this area of space in the last 6 months for a total of 247 crew and passengers.

FCO_LtJg_Haynes says:
CNS: Data has come in from VHC.  I am downloading it now.

OPS_Ens_Kain says:
::Closes the books and waits for the CO's authorization, taps his Combadge:: *CO*: Everything's ready sir, just need your voice authorization once you get down here. ::Realizes it's going to be cramped in the smaller room and grabs a seat::

CNS_LtCmdr_Cephas says:
::nods to the Captain and moves back to her console and transfers everything she needs down there::

Host CO_Capt_Ahkileez says:
*OPS*: Acknowledged. We'll be there in a minute.

CNS_LtCmdr_Cephas says:
FCO: Very good.

Host CO_Capt_Ahkileez says:
::glances at those on the bridge:: All: Get going to the Turbo Lifts. I'll be with you in a minute.

FCO_LtJg_Haynes says:
CNS: There is a total of 247 persons.  Some were passengers, civilians ma'am.  ::Glances down the list.::

CTO_Lt_Telgar-Nash says:
:: heads to the Communications Center ::

CNS_LtCmdr_Cephas says:
::moves to the lift::  FCO: We can review it on the way.

Host RCO_S`Tarleya says:
::enters the bridge escorted by 2 security guards::

FCO_LtJg_Haynes says:
::Locks and secures the CONN before moving to the TL.::

Host RCO_S`Tarleya says:
::nods:: CO: Captain.

Host CO_Capt_Ahkileez says:
::returns the commander's nod and takes one last look around his empty bridge before walking to his chair and tapping a command that sends his voice echoing thru the ship::

Host CO_Capt_Ahkileez says:
*Shipwide*: All hands, this is the Captain. All unauthorized personnel are confined to quarters until further notice. All passage and communications rights are rescinded. We are crossing the Neutral Zone. May the Great Bird have mercy on us.

Host CO_Capt_Ahkileez says:
::glances at S'Tarleya before continuing on to the waiting Turbolift::

FCO_LtJg_Haynes says:
::Looks up.:: Self: Or the Prophets or God, or whomever or whatever.

OPS_Ens_Kain says:
::Waits for everyone to arrive;:

CMO_Ahkileez says:
::Looks up at the comm, a shiver goes down her spine.::

CMO_Ahkileez says:
::The decision was made.  For not only the sake of the crew, but their family, her husband could not afford to fail.::

CMO_Ahkileez says:
::Stands up and pulls down her uniform.  With a grim look on her face, she heads out.::

CTO_Lt_Telgar-Nash says:
:: strolls into the communications center ::

Host CO_Capt_Ahkileez says:
::turns his large body around to face the lift's door as it closes on the bridge:: TL: Deck 5.

CMO_Ahkileez says:
::Without looking back, she heads for sickbay.::

CNS_LtCmdr_Cephas says:
::eyes the CO out of the corner of her eyes and wonders how his mental state is fairing::

CTO_Lt_Telgar-Nash says:
:: finds an empty console and continues her calculations ::

FCO_LtJg_Haynes says:
::Out of habit, reaches out and braces herself against the TL wall as it moves.::

Host CO_Capt_Ahkileez says:
::rides the lift down in silence::

CMO_Ahkileez says:
::Enters sickbay and looks around the quiet room.  For now, all her staff was in their quarters.::

CNS_LtCmdr_Cephas says:
::knows this is not the time to be inquiring about it and also realizes that the chances are slim that she will ever be able to inquiry::

Host CO_Capt_Ahkileez says:
::steps out of the lift as it stops on Deck 5 and turns left toward the communications center.

FCO_LtJg_Haynes says:
::Follows the Captain and the Counselor.::

Host RCO_S`Tarleya says:
COM: Pennon: R_XO: Begin transport of Romulan officers.... to make our appearance complete.... We must succeed for all our sakes.

CNS_LtCmdr_Cephas says:
::enters the center and takes her place at an open console::

OPS_Ens_Kain says:
::Watches everyone walk in::

CMO_Ahkileez says:
::Pulls out what will be needed for prosthetics.::

Host CO_Capt_Ahkileez says:
::strolls to the center of the room:: OPS: Are we ready?

FCO_LtJg_Haynes says:
::Stands next to OPS at a console and activates the CONN.::

Host RCO_S`Tarleya says:
::watches as her officers take their place:: *CO*: Captain.... we are ready to proceed.

OPS_Ens_Kain says:
::Looks up at the FCO:: FCO: Hello again.

FCO_LtJg_Haynes says:
OPS: Hey there,  how's it going?

OPS_Ens_Kain says:
::nods:: FCO: All things considered, pretty good I'd say.. you? ::smiles::

CMO_Ahkileez says:
::Looks up at the first of security enters.  With a nod, she waves them toward the medical beds.::

FCO_LtJg_Haynes says:
OPS: Well, I'm gonna fly blind.  No view screen.  ::Smiles.::

OPS_Ens_Kain says:
::looks startled and looks over for the captain:: CO: Yes, sir, all ready.. just need your voice authorization to make everything final.

FCO_LtJg_Haynes says:
CO: I have navigation and propulsion active here Sir.

CMO_Ahkileez says:
::Looking the first one over, she begins to make the subtle changes.::

Host CO_Capt_Ahkileez says:
::nods to them both and walks over to one of the high priority consoles, resting his thumb against the ID plate:: Outloud: Authorization, Ahkileez-7-7-Omega-4-Delta. Unlock and activate Communications Center to non-Diplomatic use.

Host CO_Capt_Ahkileez says:
::taps his badge:: *RCO* Command to Bridge. We're ready. ::exhales softly:: Take us in.

CMO_Ahkileez says:
::She moves quickly but carefully.  Their lives could depend on how 'real' they appeared.::

CMO_Ahkileez says:
Tuvan:  As soon as I am done, you can go into my office and change.  There is a set of clothes for each of you.  ::Nods to Sekul and Tapel to include them.::

Host RCO_S`Tarleya says:
::nods to the helmsman:: RFCO: Proceed.

FCO_LtJg_Haynes says:
::Brings up the courses.::

CMO_Ahkileez says:
:: Finishing with him, she steps back so he can leave.::

Host CO_Capt_Ahkileez says:
::watches events unfold in silence, maintaining faith that he made the right decision::

OPS_Ens_Kain says:
::Sits, getting used to his new console::

CMO_Ahkileez says:
::With a nod, Tapel steps in and she begins again.::

Host RCO_S`Tarleya says:
ACTION: The Sharikahr and the Pennon warp out and cross over into the Neutral Zone. From the debris of T'Hie an undetected short burst communication is directed towards Romulan Space.
