USS Sharikahr NCC-81204
Stardate 10605.11

Mission #253

Decisions. Decisions. Those are what Captain Irvin was faced with 39 hours ago, when the Sharikahr was put in contact with a Federation Cargo Ship carrying medical supplies. According to the Sharikahr's orders, they were to stop any Federation vessel from entering Cardassian Space - no matter what.

As the Sharikahr approached the Cargo Ship, it moved to an all stop and hailed them. A feeble looking Terran man by the name of Trenton appeared on the screen. He refused to surrender his vessel and pleaded with the Captain to allow him to continue on their journey. He stated that his people needed this medication or they would die soon.

During this time, the empaths on the Bridge began to feel a surge of pain. The voice of a woman was heard in the mind of the Counselor. She begged her to release them or else her children would die. The pain eventually subsided, but the woman continued to plead with the Counselor. Suddenly, Doctor Cartwright was hit with another surge of pain.

The Captain eventually decided to allow the Cargo Ship to go. However, he was intent on following it to its destination. The Cargo Ship, who could not exceed Warp One, would reach its destination in 48 hours. The Sharikahr would trail behind them during this time.

On top of all of this, Lieutenant Murphy escaped from her Quarters and appeared on the Bridge. She introduced herself to the Bridge Crew as the Mission Specialist. Yet again the crew had a member of Starfleet Intelligence watching their every move, or was she?

What would happen now? Would the crew be able to complete their mission and find out what the Cardassian Eleventh Order was behind? Would Doctor Cartwright finally get past his bad luck street?

::steps onto the bridge about a half step behind Murphy::

Host CO_Capt_Irvin says:
::is about to say something to the XO as Murphy bebops in::

CNS_Lt_Rodos says:
::nods to both Lt. Murphy and the CO::

Host CO_Capt_Irvin says:
Murphy: You're certainly chipper this morning... Did Doctor Cartwright slip you a mickey in your corn flakes?

Host CO_Capt_Irvin says:
::smirk::

EO_LtJg_Harris says:
::working at the engineering station on diagnostics::

CNS_Lt_Rodos says:
::hides a smirk behind her hand::

Lt_Murphy says:
CO: Of course not, Captain. ::returns the smirk as she moves over to a vacant console::

CTO_LtJG_Arinoch says:
::smirks, and moves towards the tactical station, logging himself in and running a diagnostic::

FCO_LtCmdr_Cartwright says:
::On the bridge maintaining the 2 parsec distance.::

Host CO_Capt_Irvin says:
::walks over to the Engineering console:: EO: Lieutenant....

EO_LtJg_Harris says:
::snaps to attention:: CO: Lt Harris at your service sir.

CTO_LtJG_Arinoch says:
::brings their weapons modifications online, and stretches the sensors' range as far as it'll go, scanning::

Host CO_Capt_Irvin says:
EO: At ease Lieutenant.... Harris is it?

XO_Lt_Rodos says:
::turns to see the CTO:: CTO: Welcome back, Lieutenant... I hope I didn't mess up your station too much. ::winks at him::

EO_LtJg_Harris says:
CO: yes sir.

Lt_Murphy says:
::turns toward the EO, watching the CO curiously:: FCO: Commander, how long until the Cargo Ship reaches its destination?

CNS_Lt_Rodos says:
::smiles at the CTO:: CTO: It is good to have you back.

FCO_LtCmdr_Cartwright says:
::Stifles a laugh at the EO's jumping.::

CTO_LtJG_Arinoch says:
::returns Falor's wink:: XO: Nothing a quick reset didn't fix. Good thing, too; it might of ended up costing you. ::smirks::

FCO_LtCmdr_Cartwright says:
Murphy: We are 9 hours out from the system ahead.

Host CO_Capt_Irvin says:
::lowers voice a bit and leans on the station:: EO: I've just received word from Starfleet Corps of Engineers about you... You're pretty good at this Engineering gig...

Lt_Murphy says:
::inclines her head toward the FCO:: FCO: At what speed?

XO_Lt_Rodos says:
CTO: Not surprised... I haven't touched a tactical station in over a year. I'm a bit rusty, to be sure. ::takes his seat::

EO_LtJg_Harris says:
::speaks in a lower voice:: CO: Yes sir, I am.

CTO_LtJG_Arinoch says:
::nods once to Millicent, showing he heard her:: XO: Not bad for a year out of practice, Lieutenant. If you're interested, I've got training programs that'd surprise the hell out of you.

Host CO_Capt_Irvin says:
EO: Good... In light of the importance of this mission, and so I don't overwork my XO with double duty.... You are hereby assigned to the position of Chief Engineer effective immediately.

FCO_LtCmdr_Cartwright says:
Murphy: The same speed as  the cargo ship that is 2 parsecs in front of us.

XO_Lt_Rodos says:
CTO: Perhaps after shift.. I wouldn't mind brushing up.

ACTION: The Cargo Ship suddenly changes directions and increases its speed to Warp 1.5.

XO_Lt_Rodos says:
::hears the words 'Chief Engineer' and looks over at Harris, sitting at his own former station on the bridge::

CTO_LtJG_Arinoch says:
::lifts an eyebrow:: XO: Hang on a minute. ::checks his display:: CO: Captain, we have a course change and speed increase by the cargo ship.

Lt_Murphy says:
::raises an eyebrow:: FCO: There is no need to be rude, Commander. I was simply inquiring.

Host CO_Capt_Irvin says:
::winks at the new CEO:: CEO: Congrats Chief.

CEO_LtJg_Harris says:
CO: Thank you, sir.

Host CO_Capt_Irvin says:
::walks back down to the command pit::

Host CO_Capt_Irvin says:
FCO: Adjust course.... Not too obvious... Such that we don't set off a sensor blip.

CTO_LtJG_Arinoch says:
CO: New speed confirmed at warp 1.5. Course... extrapolating. ::works his console with practiced hands::

CMO_Lt_Cartwright says:
::continues checking his staff's gear::

CEO_LtJg_Harris says:
::goes back to work::

Host CO_Capt_Irvin says:
FCO: I dunno how long my sensor jam jury rigging will work...

Lt_Murphy says:
::just shakes her head:: CO: So it begins...

Host CO_Capt_Irvin says:
Murphy: Apparently....

Host CO_Capt_Irvin says:
::takes his chair and opens a ship wide channel:: Shipwide: All hands Yellow Alert...

CTO_LtJG_Arinoch says:
::signals yellow alert and brings combat systems  to hot standby::

FCO_LtCmdr_Cartwright says:
::Chuckles.::  Murphy:  That wasn't rude Lt. Murphy, I answered your inquiries adequately.  CO: Captain,  that is one of our priorities.

CNS_Lt_Rodos says:
::shifts position and starts to open her mind::

Host CO_Capt_Irvin says:
::leans over to the CNS:: CNS: What's going on over there? Can you tell this far out from them?

CTO_LtJG_Arinoch says:
CO: New destination is the Qual system, sir. Showing an ETA at current speed of 15 minutes.

XO_Lt_Rodos says:
::makes himself comfortable in his chair::

CNS_Lt_Rodos says:
CO: No sir, I am too far away as yet

Host CO_Capt_Irvin says:
::raises his eyebrows briefly while taking a deep breath::

CMO_Lt_Cartwright says:
Trauma Team: You all stay ready and on the alert. I'll be on the bridge.

CMO_Lt_Cartwright says:
::leaves Sickbay and heads for the TL::

Host CO_Capt_Irvin says:
CTO: Scan for a place that we can use as a harbor and take long range scans

CNS_Lt_Rodos says:
::rests a hand on her stomach::

ACTION: The Counselor can feel her unborn child moving around a bit, kicking her several times.

CTO_LtJG_Arinoch says:
CO: Been doing that, captain. ::intensifies his scans, borrowing some unused sensor arrays in the process::

Host CO_Capt_Irvin says:
::looks over to the XO:: XO: We might be too far away from such a harbor to get a good reading... Prepare a shuttle... It'll stand less of a chance of being detected if we need a closer range scan.

CMO_Lt_Cartwright says:
::enters the TL and orders it to the bridge::

CNS_Lt_Rodos says:
::smiles at the sensation::

FCO_LtCmdr_Cartwright says:
::Pleased how the Sharikahr immediately moved to the new course.::

XO_Lt_Rodos says:
CO: Aye sir. ::pulls up his console and sends orders to Shuttlebay 1 to begin preparing a shuttle::

CMO_Lt_Cartwright says:
~~~FCO: I'm in the TL headed for the bridge. If I'm not there in 5 minutes, call Engineering.~~~

Host CO_Capt_Irvin says:
Murphy: Lieutenant... If we end up having to use that method, I want you to go with the XO. Send whatever data you need to the shuttle computer.

FCO_LtCmdr_Cartwright says:
::Chuckles as she gets the message from her husband.::

Host CO_Capt_Irvin says:
::taps the intercom button:: *CMO*: Irvin to Cartwright... Make preparations for a shuttle mission.

Lt_Murphy says:
CO: Not a problem, but I doubt I'll be of much help. I don't have a clue where they are heading...

FCO_LtCmdr_Cartwright says:
~~~~CMO:  Sure honey.~~~~

CEO_LtJg_Harris says:
CO: Sir the i am detecting something strange from the Cargo ship. It looks like its  transmitting some sort of general hail.

FCO_LtCmdr_Cartwright says:
CO: Um Captain which Cartwright?  ::Turns in her chair and grins.::

CMO_Lt_Cartwright says:
*CO*: For myself or some of my staff sir?

CTO_LtJG_Arinoch says:
::works his console in an attempt at determining who would be in range to pick up said hail::

Host CO_Capt_Irvin says:
Murphy: One thing that you have proven is that you have some unique takes on what is going on... Plus if this goes horribly wrong, I'd rather you be the one that gets hurt. ::smiles a sarcastic smile::

Host CO_Capt_Irvin says:
::swings around to the CEO:: CEO: Can you decode it?

Lt_Murphy says:
::smirks again:: CO: Thanks for the breath of confidence, Captain.

CEO_LtJg_Harris says:
CO: I will get right on it, sir.

Host CO_Capt_Irvin says:
Murphy: My pleasure...

Host CO_Capt_Irvin says:
::smiles::

CMO_Lt_Cartwright says:
::steps off the TL onto the bridge:: CO: Myself or some of my staff for the away mission?

Host CO_Capt_Irvin says:
FCO: How far out are we?

Host CO_Capt_Irvin says:
CMO: I called you and told you to prepare Doctor... Now who do you think I had in mind?

Lt_Murphy says:
::smiles as the CMO enters the Bridge:: CMO: Good morning, Doctor.

CEO_LtJg_Harris says:
CO: Sir, i can't, but its on the same frequency as my device found on the Sharikahr a while back.

CMO_Lt_Cartwright says:
::nods nervously at Lt. Murphy and looks back to the CO:: Understood sir, I already have my equipment ready.

Host CO_Capt_Irvin says:
CMO: Good. Stand by up here... And try to stay away from the replicators will ya?

FCO_LtCmdr_Cartwright says:
CO: 5 minutes.....

Host CO_Capt_Irvin says:
::looks straight ahead at the viewer:: FCO: Drop to sublight....

CMO_Lt_Cartwright says:
::nods to the CO and takes a seat at SC2::

XO_Lt_Rodos says:
::notices a message on his console:: CO: The shuttle is prepared for departure, Captain.

CNS_Lt_Rodos says:
::straightens as best she can in her chair and looks intently at the viewscreen::

Host CO_Capt_Irvin says:
XO: Excellent.... Stand by...

CTO_LtJG_Arinoch says:
::just shakes his head:: All: I haven't a clue who they'd be transmitting to. I can't see a likely receiver except for us.

Host CO_Capt_Irvin says:
CTO: What's that ship doing now Donavin?

FCO_LtCmdr_Cartwright says:
::Drops to Impulse speed.::

ACTION: Two Vulcan Scout ships can be detected heading toward the system. They move on both sides of the Cargo Ship.

CTO_LtJG_Arinoch says:
CO: Still on course for the Qual system. They... hold on. ::consults his displays again:: Two Vulcan ships just joined up with her.

Host Lilia says:
@~~~CNS: You must go or you will be destroyed!~~~

Host CO_Capt_Irvin says:
CTO: On screen...

Host CO_Capt_Irvin says:
::stands::

CNS_Lt_Rodos says:
~~~Lilia: What?~~~

CTO_LtJG_Arinoch says:
::puts the image on the main viewer:: CO: Registry makes them to be scout ships, Captain.

CMO_Lt_Cartwright says:
::glances nervously back and forth between the FCO and Lt. Murphy::

Host CO_Capt_Irvin says:
CTO: Armaments?

CNS_Lt_Rodos says:
CO: Captain, the woman I spoke to before just contacted me again.

Lt_Murphy says:
CMO: We should go and prepare, Doctor. ::smiles and heads for the Turbo Lift::

CTO_LtJG_Arinoch says:
::checks the armaments of all 3 ships::

Host Lilia says:
@~~~CNS: Just GO!~~~

Host CO_Capt_Irvin says:
Murphy: Stand By Lieutenant... We may scratch this....

FCO_LtCmdr_Cartwright says:
::Turns toward her husband.:: CMO: Please be careful.

Host CO_Capt_Irvin says:
::shoots a glance to the CNS:: CNS: What's she saying? Can they detect our location?

CMO_Lt_Cartwright says:
FCO: You know me.

CNS_Lt_Rodos says:
CO: She says we have to go or be destroyed. She isn't lying. She's angry and frightened.

CMO_Lt_Cartwright says:
::smiles at the FCO::

CTO_LtJG_Arinoch says:
::lifts an eyebrow:: CO: The scouts are mounting a single Romulan disrupter each, sir.

Host Lilia says:
@~~~CNS: No one else knows you are here. I don't want to tell them! Please, go before I'm put in harms way!~~~

CNS_Lt_Rodos says:
CO: So apparently, yes they can detect us.

Host CO_Capt_Irvin says:
::walks up to the FCO:: FCO: Scan the area... Find a moon or an asteroid... Something that will provide us cover....

CNS_Lt_Rodos says:
CO: She say no one but them knows we are here.

Host CO_Capt_Irvin says:
XO: Get to the shuttle bay...

XO_Lt_Rodos says:
::nods:: CO: Aye sir.

CTO_LtJG_Arinoch says:
CO: Captain, I strongly recommend someone from security accompany the team.

XO_Lt_Rodos says:
CMO/Murphy: You two are with me.

CNS_Lt_Rodos says:
CO: She doesn't want to say anything and is still begging us to go before she is put in harms way.

XO_Lt_Rodos says:
::stands up and enters the turbolift, waiting for the CMO and Murphy::

Lt_Murphy says:
::waits at the Turbo Lift for the XO and CMO:: CO: Sir, wouldn't it be wise to send the Counselor? She is in some sort of contact with the ship...

CMO_Lt_Cartwright says:
::stands and enters the TL quickly::

Host CO_Capt_Irvin says:
::taps foot and thinks for a second:: CTO: Send a member of your staff... I want you at the tactical station....

Host CO_Capt_Irvin says:
::looks to the CNS:: CNS: How far out can you communicate with this individual?

CTO_LtJG_Arinoch says:
::nods, and taps his badge:: *Bates*: Ensign Bates to the shuttle bay 10 minutes ago. Bring light armaments for a team of 4.

CNS_Lt_Rodos says:
::shrugs:: CO: We were too far out until just this moment.

TO_Ens_Bates says:
*CTO*: Aye, sir. ::leaves the security office with the appropriate equipment::

Host CO_Capt_Irvin says:
::tweaks corners of mouth in a thoughtful way::

Host CO_Capt_Irvin says:
::points to the CNS, then thumbs her towards the turbolift::

CNS_Lt_Rodos says:
::struggles out of her chair as best she can and waddles to the TL::

Lt_Murphy says:
::enters the Turbo Lift and waits for the others::

CMO_Lt_Cartwright says:
::fidgets as it gets more cramped in the TL, stuck close to Lt. Murphy::

Host CO_Capt_Irvin says:
CNS: Are you okay to go Ms. Rodos?

CNS_Lt_Rodos says:
CO: I should be fine, the Doctor is going.

Host CO_Capt_Irvin says:
Outloud: I should be shot for sending a late term, pregnant woman on an away mission... ::plops down in chair::

FCO_LtCmdr_Cartwright says:
CO: Captain.  I am reading what appears to be a fairly large asteroid that is NOT moving about 900,000 kms from here with an interior energy reading.

CNS_Lt_Rodos says:
CO: Though he should perhaps pack a few things for a possible emergency.

CNS_Lt_Rodos says:
::enters the TL with the others::

Host CO_Capt_Irvin says:
Self: Oh God....

CMO_Lt_Cartwright says:
CO: For the record I am against the Counselor going on this mission.

ACTION: One of the Vulcan ships changes course and heads for the asteroid. The other two vessels move to an all stop.

Host CO_Capt_Irvin says:
CMO: Do you know any other "qualified" telepaths to send Doctor?

FCO_LtCmdr_Cartwright says:
CO: Captain, however she IS  the best choice considering the situation and besides you do have her obstetrician with her.

CTO_LtJG_Arinoch says:
CO: One of the scout ships has broken off. They're heading for the already mentioned asteroid.

Lt_Murphy says:
::stands in theTurbo Lift, waiting:: All: Well, I suppose this will be fun. ::smirks::

FCO_LtCmdr_Cartwright says:
CO: The others have come to an all stop.

CMO_Lt_Cartwright says:
CO: Not at the moment, but I wouldn't be doing my job if I didn't object sir.

Host CO_Capt_Irvin says:
::hears the CTOs report:: FCO: VEER OFF! 118 mark 274...

Host CO_Capt_Irvin says:
::ignores the CMO::

FCO_LtCmdr_Cartwright says:
::Pulls off away from the other ships and the asteroid.::

Host CO_Capt_Irvin says:
XO: Don't depart until I give the order....

XO_Lt_Rodos says:
CMO/CNS/Murphy: Shall we?

XO_Lt_Rodos says:
TL: Shuttlebay 1.

TO_Ens_Bates says:
::is already waiting in the shuttlebay::

CNS_Lt_Rodos says:
::whispers to her husband:: XO: She's kicking up a storm today.

Host Lilia says:
@~~~CNS: You ruined everything!~~~

CMO_Lt_Cartwright says:
Away Team: So am I the only one with flight experience?

XO_Lt_Rodos says:
CMO: I minored in Flight at the Academy.

CNS_Lt_Rodos says:
~~~Lilia: Huh?~~~

Lt_Murphy says:
CMO: Not at all. Why, do you like to fly? ::winks::

CTO_LtJG_Arinoch says:
::keeps his eyes on the 3 ships, though his weapons are geared towards locking on the Vulcan ones::

Host CO_Capt_Irvin says:
Outloud: What I wouldn't give to have So'tsoh right about now....

Host Lilia says:
@~~~CNS: It is our fault... all our...~~~ ::the connection is broken::

CMO_Lt_Cartwright says:
Murphy: Freighters mostly, but I have flown the Shari a time or two when needed.

CNS_Lt_Rodos says:
::eyes go wide:: XO: Sir we might have a problem.

XO_Lt_Rodos says:
CNS: What's wrong, Counselor?

ACTION: The Sharikahr detects a sudden energy increase within the Cargo Ship.

CTO_LtJG_Arinoch says:
::blinks, rechecking his readings:: CO: Reading an energy buildup aboard the cargo ship. Attempting to localize.

CNS_Lt_Rodos says:
XO: The woman I was talking to just said we ruined everything. That it was all their fault and then the connection broke off

Host CO_Capt_Irvin says:
::looks to the CEO:: CEO: Mr. Harris... I need you to get down to Engineering and see if you can rig us for silent running... I need impulse speeds while in gray mode. Think you can handle it?

Host CO_Capt_Irvin says:
::looks to the CTO::

CEO_LtJg_Harris says:
CO :Yes sir, on my way.

FCO_LtCmdr_Cartwright says:
CO: Shall we move out of range?

XO_Lt_Rodos says:
::steps off the turbolift and allows the others to step off before proceeding to the shuttlebay:: *CO*: Captain, the Counselor reports that her telepathic communication with the woman from the other ship was lost. What's going on up there?

CEO_LtJg_Harris says:
::heads for TL:: TL: Main Engineering.

CTO_LtJG_Arinoch says:
CO: Indications show it to be a bomb of some sort, Captain. I can't pinpoint it.

CNS_Lt_Rodos says:
::waddles her way to the shuttle::

CEO_LtJg_Harris says:
::steps off the TL and runs to ME::

CMO_Lt_Cartwright says:
::exits the TL last with a sigh of relief::

Host CO_Capt_Irvin says:
FCO: Stand by. ::walks up to the tactical station::

ACTION: The second Vulcan ship moves away from the Cargo Ship and heads for the asteroid as well. Small explosions can be seen occurring on the Cargo Ship on the viewscreen.

TO_Ens_Bates says:
::sees the team approaching, and hands out phasers and the like::

Lt_Murphy says:
::follows the team:: XO: How much experience have you had leading Away Missions, Lieutenant?

CTO_LtJG_Arinoch says:
::looks up as the captain approaches:: CO: The last Vulcan ship has broken off... ::gestures to the viewscreen::

FCO_LtCmdr_Cartwright says:
CO: Explosions occurring.

Host CO_Capt_Irvin says:
::looks to the main viewer:: Self: Oh My God....

CMO_Lt_Cartwright says:
::catches himself watching Lt. Murphy's hips sway::

Host CO_Capt_Irvin says:
CTO: Scan the cargo ship...

CNS_Lt_Rodos says:
::clutches her head and screams:: All: Ahhhh!

CTO_LtJG_Arinoch says:
CO: For?

CEO_LtJg_Harris says:
::arrives in ME and begin working on  rigging for silent running::

XO_Lt_Rodos says:
CNS: Millie, what's wrong?

Host CO_Capt_Irvin says:
CTO: Survivors? Anything?

CNS_Lt_Rodos says:
::struggling to speak:: XO: Pain...Cargo Ship...

Lt_Murphy says:
::turns toward the Counselor:: XO: Does she do this often? ::looks toward the CMO:: CMO: Can you help her?

CMO_Lt_Cartwright says:
::hurries to the CNS' side:: All: Let's get her down on the floor so she can't fall if she loses consciousness!

CTO_LtJG_Arinoch says:
::nods, and scans for survivors, or... anything::

CTO_LtJG_Arinoch says:
::routes transporter control to his station, just in case::

XO_Lt_Rodos says:
::holds on to the CNS and helps her down to the ground::

CNS_Lt_Rodos says:
CMO: Just need...to sit...a minute.

ACTION: The Cargo Ship's center explodes, causing it to tear in half. The Sharkahr is suddenly hailed, the origin is unknown.

CMO_Lt_Cartwright says:
CNS: Millie is it what happened to us on the bridge?

TO_Ens_Bates says:
::blinks, starting to move towards the group but decides better of it and gives them their space::

FCO_LtCmdr_Cartwright says:
CO: We are receiving an hail.  Origin is unknown.

Host CO_Capt_Irvin says:
::witnesses the explosion of the Cargo ship on the viewer - pounds fist hard on the tactical station::

CEO_LtJg_Harris says:
*CO*: Sir, I have rigged the ship to run as silent as a baby sleeping.

Host CO_Capt_Irvin says:
::taps com badge:: *CEO* Good work Chief... Good work....

CNS_Lt_Rodos says:
::starts to breath normally:: All: It's gone now.

CTO_LtJG_Arinoch says:
::just shakes his head, again:: CO: No chance of it, sir. ::adds mentally:: Please have mercy on the console.

Host CO_Capt_Irvin says:
FCO: On Audio.....

CNS_Lt_Rodos says:
CMO: And no it wasn't similar.

CMO_Lt_Cartwright says:
CNS: What was it?

FCO_LtCmdr_Cartwright says:
CO: Sir.  Someone or something outside the Sharikahr is trying to tap into the navigational controls.

Host Voice says:
#COM: Sharikahr: You have no business being here. Leave now or face the same fate as your allied ship.

FCO_LtCmdr_Cartwright says:
::Locks the controls.::

CNS_Lt_Rodos says:
CMO: I think they are dead ::tears start to form::

Host CO_Capt_Irvin says:
FCO: Encrypt the system....

CTO_LtJG_Arinoch says:
::tries tracing the open channel to a possible point of origin::

XO_Lt_Rodos says:
::taps combadge:: *Bridge*: Rodos to Bridge.. what's going on up there?

FCO_LtCmdr_Cartwright says:
::Places the system on encryption.::

CMO_Lt_Cartwright says:
::nods:: CNS: Okay, you're off of this away team based on medical condition.

Host CO_Capt_Irvin says:
::pauses and looks up at the ceiling as if to talk to the unknown:: COM: That's a bold statement for someone so cowardice as to not identify themselves and to destroy a medical cargo ship....

Host CO_Capt_Irvin says:
::mutes the transmission:: *XO* Scrub the shuttle launch... We have a problem...

CTO_LtJG_Arinoch says:
CO: Our hiding place just became very unsafe, Captain.

CNS_Lt_Rodos says:
::gets shakily to her feet:: Murphy: Sorry Lt. I was modified into a telepath early in my pregnancy. I'm still learning to block emotional surges.

Host CO_Capt_Irvin says:
*XO* Report back to the bridge....

XO_Lt_Rodos says:
*CO*: Aye sir, on our way.

Host Voice says:
#COM: Sharikahr: You have threatened our alliance, Federation Starship Sharikahr. You have no business meddling in Cardassian affairs.

XO_Lt_Rodos says:
CNS: Are you okay to walk, Millie?

Host CO_Capt_Irvin says:
::moves to the center seat::

CNS_Lt_Rodos says:
::waddles back to the TL:: XO: Obviously.

Lt_Murphy says:
CNS: Really? Interesting indeed.

Host CO_Capt_Irvin says:
CTO: Scan for the Cardassian Warship Dekot...

CTO_LtJG_Arinoch says:
CO: ::said low enough not to pass through the open comm line:: That asteroid you wanted to hide behind? It's sending the hail to us.

CMO_Lt_Cartwright says:
::sighs as he ponders the close quarters with Lt. Murphy::

CMO_Lt_Cartwright says:
::enters the TL::

CNS_Lt_Rodos says:
Murphy: Yes, myself and the baby.

XO_Lt_Rodos says:
::enters the TL as well::

CTO_LtJG_Arinoch says:
::nods after speaking, and scans for the ship in question::

XO_Lt_Rodos says:
TL: Bridge.

Lt_Murphy says:
CNS: I hope it was medically logged. That is truly fascinating.

CMO_Lt_Cartwright says:
Murphy: Its been documented heavily.

CNS_Lt_Rodos says:
Murphy: Yes it was. Our CMO was the first to discover it.

FCO_LtCmdr_Cartwright says:
CO: Some data was transferred.

Host CO_Capt_Irvin says:
COM: If you really considered us a threat to the peace treaty, we'd be dead already... Identify yourself.

Lt_Murphy says:
::smiles:: CNS: Of course he did. He is one amazing officer.

CTO_LtJG_Arinoch says:
CO: If it's out there, I can't find it.

XO_Lt_Rodos says:
::raises an eyebrow at Murphy's compliments toward the CMO::

CMO_Lt_Cartwright says:
::fidgets nervously::

Host Voice says:
#COM: Sharikahr: This is your final warning. ::cuts the comm::

CNS_Lt_Rodos says:
::coughs and cover a smile:: Murphy: His wife certainly thinks so.

Host CO_Capt_Irvin says:
::presses the signal button on his chair to begin emitting the codded signal again::

XO_Lt_Rodos says:
::grins at Millie's comment::

CTO_LtJG_Arinoch says:
CO: Suggestion, sir?

Lt_Murphy says:
::smirks slightly:: CNS: I bet she does.

CMO_Lt_Cartwright says:
::blushes::

XO_Lt_Rodos says:
::exits the turbolift and strides to his chair, taking a seat::

Host CO_Capt_Irvin says:
CTO: Suggestions are always welcome.

ACTION: The Vulcan Scout Vessels enter the asteroid.

CTO_LtJG_Arinoch says:
CO: If we leave the system, and modify a shuttle so it's not quite so obvious its from the Sharikahr, a small away team might be able to get close enough to see what's so important about that asteroid.

CNS_Lt_Rodos says:
::exits the TL behind her husband and goes to her chair::

CTO_LtJG_Arinoch says:
::checks his console, and speaks again:: CO: The asteroid that, I'll add, the Vulcan ships just entered.

Lt_Murphy says:
::enters the Bridge:: CO: I take it things aren't going well?

Host CO_Capt_Irvin says:
CTO: Officer thinking Lieutenant... Get with Mr. Harris and see to it.

CMO_Lt_Cartwright says:
::exits the TL with a sigh of relief and returns to SC2::

Host CO_Capt_Irvin says:
Murphy: Not at all... ::sighs:: Not one damn bit.....

CTO_LtJG_Arinoch says:
::nods, motioning Smith to take his station, and heads for the TL:: *CEO*: Arinoch to engineering. Got a minute, Lieutenant?

FCO_LtCmdr_Cartwright says:
CO: Sir, I doubt that that asteroid is really an asteroid based on these readings.

Lt_Murphy says:
CO: I would suggest leaving, Captain. ::moves toward the command ring:: CO: Unless you want the Sharikahr to meet a most horrible fate...

Host CO_Capt_Irvin says:
Lt: I agree... But we're going to leave something behind....

Host CO_Capt_Irvin says:
FCO: Plot a course out of this system and stand by....

Lt_Murphy says:
CO: That's not wise, sir. Believe me.

CTO_LtJG_Arinoch says:
::orders the lift to engineering:: *CEO*: I need to see a chief about a shuttle modification.

Host CO_Capt_Irvin says:
Murphy: Don't worry... We're not leaving folks behind....

CMO_Lt_Cartwright says:
::sits quietly looking starry-eyed at his wife::

FCO_LtCmdr_Cartwright says:
CO: Course plotted standing by.

ACTION: Without any warning, the Counselor begins to feel her unborn child kick her repeatedly. Before she can do anything about it, her water breaks.
