ACTION: A fist comes in contact with the TO's chin and he falls down hard.

CO_Capt_Quchant says:

TO: Ouch. Computer: Flood Cargo Bay 1 with sleeping gas immediately. *CO*: Idrani to the bridge, Cargo Bay 1 has been compromised; I am flooding the bay with sleeping gas now to regain control.  Unfortunately, myself and the TO here will be affected.  Please send additional security.
TO_Ens_Rekuan says:
Aloud: OWWW!!

ACTION: The crowd continues to riot the man with the phaser sweating like a pig.

XO_Cmdr_Telgar says:

CO_Capt_Quchant says:
::leaves the sickbay::
Prince_Albert_Endicott says:

FCO: Still looking, sir
CTO_LtJG_Koval says:
:: spots the CO :: CO: Captain?
CO_Capt_Quchant says:
CTO: Lieutenant...are you ready?
FCO_Cmdr_Foster says:
CSO: Look harder... they won't get away with this.

:: nods at the CO ::
XO_Cmdr_Telgar says:
MO:  What do you mean almost?
CO_Capt_Quchant says:
::punches the code on the door control to open the cargo bay doors::
CSO_Ens_Amuz says:
FCO: I think I have picked up the ion trail, but it is very faint... seeing if I can enhance the search algorithms
MO_Payne says:
XO:  Well, you'll never play the piano again.
XO_Cmdr_Telgar says:
MO:  I couldn't play the piano before.
MO_Payne says:
XO:  Then you'll be fine.  :: smiles ::
CO_Capt_Quchant says:
::looks across to the other entrance to cargo bay that's already open::
XO_Cmdr_Telgar says:
:: shakes her head at the MO ::
CO_Capt_Quchant says:
CTO: Take up positions around the bay.
CSO_Ens_Amuz says:
::glances up at the FCO briefly, as if she is debating something, then goes back to her work::
CO_Capt_Quchant says:
*Sickbay*: Multiple teams to the cargo bay
FCO_Cmdr_Foster says:
CSO: Send the course to the flight console. ::turns to the front:: Duty FCO: Follow the ion trail, Maximum warp until we get the ship in sensor range.
CTO_LtJG_Koval says:
:: signals the security teams in a few hand motions, after which they all take positions around the bay ::
CIV_Cmdr_Idrani says:
::starts waking up::
CSO_Ens_Amuz says:
FCO: Yes sir. ::taps a few buttons to send it to the duty FCO::
CIV_Cmdr_Idrani says:
::sits up:: Aloud: I said I don’t want to go to School! Oh.. Cargo Bay.. many people... ah...reality.. sweet sweet reality.
TO_Ens_Rekuan says:
:: Head hurting starts to wake ::
Duty_FCO says:
FCO Aye sir. ::engages on the course shown by the faint ion trail::
CO_Capt_Quchant says:
::spots Commander Idrani::
MO_Payne says:
XO:  OK, you can go back to the bridge, but, take it easy will you.  You still have some healing to do.
CO_Capt_Quchant says:
CIV: Commander..front and center...report
TO_Ens_Rekuan says:
Aloud: Uhhggg...
XO_Cmdr_Telgar says:
MO:  I gothca Doc.
XO_Cmdr_Telgar says:
:: gets up from the biobed ::
CIV_Cmdr_Idrani says:
Aloud: Huh what now? ::stands and moves forward:: CO: Nothing to report since I succumbed to the gas, Sir.
CO_Capt_Quchant says:
CIV:  ::starting to get annoyed::  Let's try this again.  What were you doing in here, and why was there gas?
CIV_Cmdr_Idrani says:
CO: Excuse me Captain? I was following orders.
XO_Cmdr_Telgar says:
:: heads to the bridge ::
TO_Ens_Rekuan says:
:: Get's up off the floor in a daze ::
CO_Capt_Quchant says:
CIV: Let me remind you I've been in my quarters disgorging most of the last several days worth of food.
CO_Capt_Quchant says:
CIV: Now...one more time please.  What the hell's going on
XO_Cmdr_Telgar says:
:: exits the lift onto the bridge ::  FCO:  Report.
CSO_Ens_Amuz says:
FCO: Commander, recommend an all stop, sir. I am picking up a second ion trail... going in the other direction
CIV_Cmdr_Idrani says:
CO: Captain, if you want a full report, I suggest you get one from the officer in command of the ship. All I can tell you is regarding my own investigation into an intruder alert alarm then went off - as you can see it is still on, being as we didn’t find an intruder yet. 
CSO_Ens_Amuz says:
::notices the XO and sits up straighter in her chair::
FCO_Cmdr_Foster says:
XO: We're chasing the Orion ship again, ::pauses as he hears the CSO:: CSO: Can you identify it?
CEO_Ens_Silek says:
::nods to the Commander as she enters the bridge::
XO_Cmdr_Telgar says:
:: looks at the CSO ::
CIV_Cmdr_Idrani says:
CO: I found a room off sensors with a poker table in it, maybe some officers made it. But I found a body in there and there was a dampening field. Now I have been called to help calm these guests and my investigation is on hold.
TO_Ens_Rekuan says:
CO: I was on the Orion ship, sir.
XO_Cmdr_Telgar says:
:: walks to her chair and sits, carefully ::
CO_Capt_Quchant says:
CIV: Ok thanks.  Did you get the body transported to sickbay?
CSO_Ens_Amuz says:
::clears her throat:: FCO/XO: It appears to be the same ion signal...
CO_Capt_Quchant says:
TO: Who are you ensign?  I don't recognize you
TO_Ens_Rekuan says:
:: Walks up to the CO and stands at attention ::
FCO_Cmdr_Foster says:
Duty FCO: Come about!! They went the other way!
XO_Cmdr_Telgar says:
CSO:  Really?  So, there are two identical ion trails?
CIV_Cmdr_Idrani says:
CO: I left it with the security teams to arrange it, Sir. I am here helping with the guests but I'd like to continue the investigation into who went into my quarters,
XO_Cmdr_Telgar says:
Duty FCO:  Belay that.
CO_Capt_Quchant says:
CIV: Carry on.
TO_Ens_Rekuan says:
CO: I am Ensign Rekuan Tell'acus. TO.
CSO_Ens_Amuz says:
XO: Commander, uncertain sir, at this range there is a chance that they might be different signals but with very slight variances
CIV_Cmdr_Idrani says:
CO/TO: Came on board with the guests. ::nods:: I could use his help in my investigation if that suits you Sir?
CO_Capt_Quchant says:
TO: Ah yes...I'd seen your paperwork come across my desk.  hmm...
CO_Capt_Quchant says:
*Computer*: Transfer this comm badge ID to Ensign Rekuan
CO_Capt_Quchant says:
::takes the badge and hands it to the TO::
FCO_Cmdr_Foster says:
::looks to Sharra and waits to see what's going on::
CSO_Ens_Amuz says:
::glances at the CEO:: XO: Perhaps if we transfer more power to the sensors we could get a more accurate reading, sir?
TO_Ens_Rekuan says:
:: Takes the badge an fixes it to his jumpsuit ::
CO_Capt_Quchant says:
TO: Put this on.  Report to the CTO, Lt Koval.
XO_Cmdr_Telgar says:
CEO:  See what you can do to boost the sensors Ensign.
CEO_Ens_Silek says:
::nods:: XO/CSO: I shall attempt to do so.... ::begins the transfer::
TO_Ens_Rekuan says:
CO: Yes, sir.
CIV_Cmdr_Idrani says:
CO: I'll take that as a no. ::nods and departs::
CTO_LtJG_Koval says:
:: hears his name being mentioned and looks up ::
XO_Cmdr_Telgar says:
FCO:  Will, we may need some fancy flying here, you should take the helm.
CO_Capt_Quchant says:
TO: Wait...Help Commander Idrani as you're here
CEO_Ens_Silek says:
::nods:: CSO: Transfer complete.
TO_Ens_Rekuan says:
CO: Yes, sir.
FCO_Cmdr_Foster says:
XO: You have the bridge my dear. ::grins and relieves the Duty FCO:: Where to?
CSO_Ens_Amuz says:
::grudgingly:: CEO: Thank you, Mister Silek ::does another batch of scans::
XO_Cmdr_Telgar says:
CSO:  I want to know which ion trail is the from the ship I was on.
CSO_Ens_Amuz says:
XO: Aye, Commander. I will work as fast as I can, ma'am
TO_Ens_Rekuan says:
:: Follows the CIV ::
CO_Capt_Quchant says:
CIV: Take control here, I'm heading back up to the bridge.
CIV_Cmdr_Idrani says:
::turns back at the sound of his name:: TO: With me?
TO_Ens_Rekuan says:
CIV: Yes.
XO_Cmdr_Telgar says:
CSO:  As for the other, I want to know what it came from before it crossed the original trail.
CO_Capt_Quchant says:
CTO: Once the situation is under control here, get back up to the bridge
CIV_Cmdr_Idrani says:
CO: Oh.. yes sir. ::is getting frustrated at his conflicting orders from the Captain::
CO_Capt_Quchant says:
::nods at all::
CTO_LtJG_Koval says:
CO: Aye.
CO_Capt_Quchant says:
::steps out of the Cargo Bay::
CIV_Cmdr_Idrani says:
CTO: Do you need me here, Lieutenant? I have my own investigation to run.
CO_Capt_Quchant says:
::walks down the corridor to the Deck Operations station and requisitions a new comm badge and puts it on::
CTO_LtJG_Koval says:
CIV: Thanks, but I have enough people to help me out.
XO_Cmdr_Telgar says:
FCO:  Get us close enough to those two trails to identify them and then full stop.
CSO_Ens_Amuz says:
XO: With the new scans, it seems that the first one is the 'right' one, Commander. It is consistent with the ship you were on
CO_Capt_Quchant says:
*Bridge*  The situation in the Cargo bay is contained for now.  I'm heading back up.
FCO_Cmdr_Foster says:
XO: I'll see it I can find a point where they cross... ::follows the ion trails::
CIV_Cmdr_Idrani says:
CTO: Very well. TO: Let's go. I'll brief you as we walk.
CO_Capt_Quchant says:
*Bridge*  I'll want a full Sit Rep when I'm there
CO_Capt_Quchant says:
::gets to the turbolift::
CO_Capt_Quchant says:
TL: Bridge
TO_Ens_Rekuan says:
CIV: Yes, sir.
TO_Ens_Rekuan says:
:: Walk with the CIV ::
XO_Cmdr_Telgar says:
*CO*  Aye Captain.  We are following the ship that I was on.  We found another trail that went in another direction, but it isn't the trail of the pirates ship.
CSO_Ens_Amuz says:
::hears the comm from the CO:: *CIV*: Ensign Amuz to Tha- Commander Idrani, are you alright...sir?
XO_Cmdr_Telgar says:
*CO*  Would you like to investigate the new trail Sir?
CO_Capt_Quchant says:
*XO*: Analyze the trails.  They may be trying to throw us off, or they had a shuttle type craft leave.
CIV_Cmdr_Idrani says:
::walking down the corridor:: *CSO*: Yes Khethiwe, I am fine, thank you. Perhaps you could help me? I need any data from the sensors taken when the alarm went off in my quarters.
XO_Cmdr_Telgar says:
*CO*  Being done as we speak Sir.  :: looks over at the CSO and nods ::
FCO_Cmdr_Foster says:
::brings the ship to stop at a point where the trails are close enough to analyze both::
CTO_LtJG_Koval says:
:: heads out of the cargo bay and heads to a turbolift ::
CSO_Ens_Amuz says:
::nods back to the XO:: *CIV*: I'll send them to you in a few minutes, I need to do the bridge work first
CIV_Cmdr_Idrani says:
TO: A short while ago, I was in my quarters when a security alarm went off. Apparently someone or something entered my quarters with a transporter beam. What it is, or where exactly it is, I don't know. My investigation led me to a room on this ship that had been built secretly by some gambling officers.
TO_Ens_Rekuan says:
CIV: Interesting.
CTO_LtJG_Koval says:
:: enters a turbolift and activates it ::
CSO_Ens_Amuz says:
::keeps running detailed scans of the ion trails, running a wide spectrum of scans and extending the range as far as she can::
CIV_Cmdr_Idrani says:
*CSO*: Thank you, Ensign... take care of yourself up there. ::continues briefing the TO as they enter a Turbolift:: TL: Officers quarters. TO: Anyway, after all of this, I still don’t know who beamed in, or what it was... the dead body I found down there doesn’t help. Now we need to find some more answers. We're going to start by sweeping my room for anything that looks suspicious.
CO_Capt_Quchant says:
::Arrives at the bridge::
CO_Capt_Quchant says:
XO: Anything on those trails yet?
CO_Capt_Quchant says:
::waits for the command chair to be his again::
XO_Cmdr_Telgar says:
CO:  Nothing yet Sir.
CSO_Ens_Amuz says:
XO: Com-::notices the CO:: CO/XO: Sirs, the ion trail is the same but they used some kind of dispersal field to make a second trail
XO_Cmdr_Telgar says:
:; stands for the command chair to let the CO sit ::  CO:  Feeling better Sir?
CO_Capt_Quchant says:
XO: So far.
FCO_Cmdr_Foster says:
CSO: So which one's which?
CO_Capt_Quchant says:
CSO: So the second trail is a red herring?
XO_Cmdr_Telgar says:
CSO:  That means that one of them will end and the other will not.  Can you scan far enough to determine that?
XO_Cmdr_Telgar says:
CSO:  Can you scan for tachyons in the trail?
CSO_Ens_Amuz says:
All: The original trail we were following was the right one... and Yes, Captain, the second one is a red herring. Commander Telgar, I will do as much as I can, I am very certain that the first trail is the right one ::is getting dizzy from looking at all the different people::
CO_Capt_Quchant says:
FCO: Pursuit course, original trail.  Warp 6.  Engage
CTO_LtJG_Koval says:
:: arrives at the bridge ::
CTO_LtJG_Koval says:
:: takes his station ::
FCO_Cmdr_Foster says:
::nods to the CO and plots a course to follow the original trail, engaging at warp 6::
CSO_Ens_Amuz says:
::runs a final multispectral analysis on the ion trails:: All: The first trail is the right one and heading further and further into Orion space
CO_Capt_Quchant says:
XO: Inform Starfleet Command of our situation and heading
XO_Cmdr_Telgar says:
CSO:  They have a cloak, so, if we keep scanning for the tachyons trail as well, it will be less likely to slow us down next time.
XO_Cmdr_Telgar says:
CSO:  Good work Ensign.
FCO_Cmdr_Foster says:
CO: A word in your ear please Cap'n?
CO_Capt_Quchant says:
::nods in agreement::
CSO_Ens_Amuz says:
XO: Agreed completely, Commander.
CO_Capt_Quchant says:
FCO: here or the RR?
FCO_Cmdr_Foster says:
::motions toward the Ready Room::
CSO_Ens_Amuz says:
::smiles slightly:: XO: And thank you, Commander
CIV_Cmdr_Idrani says:
::gets to his quarters:: TO: Ignore the mess. Let's get started. Be wary for ANYTHING that looks odd.
CO_Capt_Quchant says:
XO: You have the bridge
CO_Capt_Quchant says:
::enters his Ready room and goes behind his desk::
TO_Ens_Rekuan says:
CIV: Yes, sir.
CO_Capt_Quchant says:
::waits for the FCO to enter and the door to close::
FCO_Cmdr_Foster says:
::stands and heads for the CO's Ready room::
CO_Capt_Quchant says:
FCO: Go ahead
XO_Cmdr_Telgar says:
:: nods and starts to stand to change chairs....again...and decides not to play musical chairs and stays in her own ::
CIV_Cmdr_Idrani says:
::walks in:: Self: Hope Khethiwe took her underwear with her this time.
TO_Ens_Rekuan says:
:: Looks around :
TO_Ens_Rekuan says:
CIV: I see something.
CSO_Ens_Amuz says:
*CIV*: Commander Idrani, I am transferring what sensor data I can get with my permissions, you will need to ask Koval if you want more
TO_Ens_Rekuan says:
CIV: On the bed, look at the imprint. Someone was here.
FCO_Cmdr_Foster says:
::waits for the doors to close:: CO: We had a communication from the pirate ship... I didn't want to bring it up in front of the XO given her experience over there... They said this isn't over... that they want revenge.
CIV_Cmdr_Idrani says:
