Host XO_Avaj says:
COM: Anchorage: We are 13 minutes away.

OPS_Thomas says:
CSO: Who is attacking them?

FerengiCO_Bruck says:
@XO:  It could be important. We could be offered many bars of latinum.  ::Rubs his grubby little fingers together::  And report on your status.

FeringiXO_Pheonix says:
@CO: Yes...we could...::Looks at monitor:: They are calling another vessel!!

Host FCO_Buzz says:
%COM: Rapier: We're being attacked by some crazy Ferengis.

CSO_Nash says:
XO: SO Weaver has reported that the Motherlode is a vessel aligned with the Ferengi.

FerengiCO_Bruck says:
@XO:  And why are they calling another vessel, to get more latinum, which we need.

OPS_Thomas says:
::Looks at the XO::

FerengiCO_Bruck says:
@XO:  Good finally you did something right.  ::Notices the Federation Ship on scanners::  Hey what are they doing here ::In contempt::

OPS_Thomas says:
XO: Aye sir.  ::Increases power to the emitters and encloses the Anchorage.::

Host FCO_Buzz says:
%::Tries to maneuver away toward the Rapier::

SO_Weaver says:
::Performs a scan of the attacking vessel::

OPS_Thomas says:
XO: Channel open.

Host XO_Avaj says:
COM: Ferengi Vessel: This is the USS Rapier.  Cease your weapons fire.

Host FCO_Buzz says:
%COM: Rapier: Thank God you're here!

FeringiXO_Pheonix says:
@CO: Sould we, sir? They might overpower us!

Host Scooter says:
ACTION: The Ferengi ship, being of a somewhat older design, has a computer core software error. Odd messages start popping up, and the control panels become distorted.

CSO_Nash says:
:: Targets Ferengi vessel to make our point clear::

FerengiCO_Bruck says:
@COM:  Rapier: Why should we Federation we were here first.

FerengiCO_Bruck says:
@XO:  Shut up I am talking to the nasty hew-mans

FeringiXO_Pheonix says:
@::Bangs fist on the panel::

Host Scooter says:
ACTION: Pheonix gets mildly zapped in response.

FerengiCO_Bruck says:
@XO:  Hey that'll cost you two strips of latinum to repair that.

FeringiXO_Pheonix says:
@CO: Ahhh.

FCO_Buzz says:
%::Slowly brings the Anchorage behind the Rapier::

Host XO_Avaj says:
COM: Ferengi: Logically you are out matched...there is no other possible alternative but to withdraw.

FeringiXO_Pheonix says:
@::Swears under his breath::

OPS_Thomas says:
::Too much logic::

FCO_Buzz says:
%COM: Rapier: Let know where you want me.

Host XO_Avaj says:
CSO: Arm full spread of phasers and torpedoes.

FerengiCO_Bruck says:
@COM:  Rapier: So like I said we were here first and you have no claim to that ship and its treasures.

FCO_Jarek says:
:: Takes over the Helm ::

OPS_Thomas says:
Self: What treasures?

CSO_Nash says:
XO: Aye, sir. ::Arms the directed weaponry and watches the firing sequence lights light up::

Host XO_Avaj says:
CSO: Target their weapons and engines.

FCO_Buzz says:
%::Hands fly over the console trying to maintain the systems::

CSO_Nash says:
XO: Aye. ::Targets propulsion and weapons::

Host Scooter says:
ACTION: New environmental control systems that SF Design put on Rapier to test doesn't like itself. The Bridge goes pitch black save for the console key-lights…kind of an eerie scene.

EO_Porter says:
::Wonders why the ship is at yellow alert, then notices that the shields and the com are active::

EO_Porter says:
::Wonders if he can ever get through a mission without shooting at something::

OPS_Thomas says:
::Raises eyebrow and looks around::

Host XO_Avaj says:
COM: Ferengi: We have targeted your engines and weapons.  If you do not withdraw we will be forced to take action.

CSO_Nash says:
:: Is worried. I'm not rated on this thing in the light let alone the dark::

FeringiXO_Pheonix says:
@::Swears under her breath:: CO: we cannot allow them to have the treasures!!

EO_Porter says:
*Bridge*: Is everything alright up there? I'm reading a power failure.

FCO_Jarek says:
:: Readies for evasive just in case there needed::

FCO_Buzz says:
%::Repeats com:: COM: Rapier: Let know where you want me.

FerengiCO_Bruck says:
@COM:  Rapier: OOO you threatening us hew-man, good I'm up for the challenge.

OPS_Thomas says:
*EO*: No.  Lights went out.

SO_Weaver says:
::Wonders how the Ferengi can possibly challenge us with such an inferior vessel::

Host XO_Avaj says:
COM: Ferengi: May I remind you that you are in violation of Federation law.

OPS_Thomas says:
::Beams all the people from the Anchorage to Cargo Bay 1.::

EO_Porter says:
*OPS*: I'm on it, sir.

OPS_Thomas says:
*MO*: You have patients in Cargo Bay 1.

Host Scooter says:
ACTION: Transport fails due to some Ferengi inhibitor that no one (not even the Ferengi) knows is on

FerengiCO_Bruck says:
@COM:  Rapier:  Federation Law, don't think so I do not recognize your foolish Federation Law.

MO_Tiara says:
*OPS* Aye, sir.

CSO_Nash says:
:: Is getting an itchy trigger finger::

OPS_Thomas says:
*MO*: Wait....never mind.  ::Grumbles::

FCO_Buzz says:
%::Feels the start of a transport, then just sits there in the Anchorage::

Host XO_Avaj says:
FCO: Maneuver us between the Ferengi and the Anchorage.

MO_Tiara says:
*OPS* Aye, sir.

Host XO_Avaj says:
COM: Ferengi: Then we are at an impasse.

FCO_Jarek says:
XO: Aye, sir. Coming about.

EO_Porter says:
::Heads for environmental controls::

SO_Weaver says:
XO:  We can't beam anyone off the Anchorage.  It some sort of transport inhibitor.

FCO_Jarek says:
XO: We are in position, sir.

FeringiXO_Pheonix says:
@::snickers:: Self: Federation Law.

Host XO_Avaj says:
SO: Can we beam anyone over there?

FerengiCO_Bruck says:
@COM:  Rapier: It appears so.

FCO_Buzz says:
%::Thinks, and I sign up with this outfit because it was a "milk run"::

Host Scooter says:
ACTION: The inept driving (who would've thunk it?) of the Ferengi FCO nearly clips the Rapier as she sweeps about.

FCO_Jarek says:
XO: Ferengi Vessel dead to port, sir.

SO_Weaver says:
XO:  No, sir.  It's blocking transport entirely.

OPS_Thomas says:
XO: They almost hit the nacelle.  ::Rolls eyes::

FCO_Buzz says:
%::Steers the Anchorage out of the Motherlode's way::

Host XO_Avaj says:
CSO: Target their engines.

FCO_Jarek says:
:: Backs the Rapier off a bit::

FerengiCO_Bruck says:
@<FCO> CO: Careful you are going to get us killed.

CSO_Nash says:
XO: Aye sir. :: Targets Ferengi engines::

Host XO_Avaj says:
COM: Anchorage: What is your status?

FeringiXO_Pheonix says:
@::Smacks the FCO on his little bald head::

SO_Weaver says:
::Tries to determine the source of the transporter interference::

FerengiCO_Bruck says:
@XO: You should have seen that coming.  ::Thwaps him::

FCO_Buzz says:
%COM: Rapier: Maintaining Fleet, just when you going to do something about that pirate?

FeringiXO_Pheonix says:
@::Golds his head in pain:: CO: Yes, sir. ::Shakily::

CSO_Nash says:
XO: Sir, may I suggest disabling weapons?

MO_Tiara says:
*XO* do you need any help on the bridge?

Host XO_Avaj says:
CSO: Wait for my order.

CSO_Nash says:
XO: Aye, sir.

FCO_Buzz says:
%COM: Rapier: My warp drive is getting hinky and the shields are barely hanging on.

EO_Porter says:
::Arrives in Environmental Control and runs a diagnostic on the lighting system::

Host XO_Avaj says:
*MO* Negative.  You may have your hands full.

MO_Tiara says:
*XO* Alright, sir.

FCO_Jarek says:
XO: Can we extend our shields around her, sir?

FCO_Buzz says:
%COM: Rapier: The wounded aren't doing too well either.

FerengiCO_Bruck says:
@::Thinks why am I in this with such incompetent Ferengi not even worth their weight in latinum::

FCO_Jarek says:
XO: If we can do that we may be able to get the crew off.

EO_Porter says:
::Gets the diagnostic results. A software bug that escaped the testers::

OPS_Thomas says:
FCO: I have done that.

Host XO_Avaj says:
COM: Ferengi: Withdraw or we will be forced to take action.

FCO_Jarek says:
OPS: Very well Mr. Thomas.

Host XO_Avaj says:
SO: Find the source of the inhibitor.

OPS_Thomas says:
FCO: It seems that they haven't detected the shields around them.

SO_Weaver says:
XO:  Still trying, sir.  ::Continues sweeping for the source of the interference::

Host Scooter says:
ACTION: With the lights still out on the Bridge, the whole crew of all three ships start seeing wispy images of various unknown people. Not imagined in their head, but like literally out in the room.

FCO_Jarek says:
OPS: Have we tried rotating the modulation of the shield output at all?

SO_Weaver says:
::Blinks and rubs his eyes::

FeringiXO_Pheonix says:
@::Mumbles under her breath:: Self: Hew-mons.

OPS_Thomas says:
FCO: No.

FCO_Buzz says:
%::Keeps moving the Anchorage slowly around the Rapier, keeping it between himself and the Ferengi::

FerengiCO_Bruck says:
@COM:  Rapier: When you surrender the treasurer I know you have on that ship, Hew-mon.

Host XO_Avaj says:
*EO* The lights on the bridge are out.  Please fix them.

OPS_Thomas says:
ALL: Who the heck is that?   ::Points::

FeringiXO_Pheonix says:
@::Smiles, showing off his pointed teeth::

EO_Porter says:
*XO*: Yes, sir.  I'm in Environmental Control now, working on the problem.

FCO_Jarek says:
:: Looks at Mr. Nash and raises eyebrow::

Host XO_Avaj says:
CSO: Fire.

CSO_Nash says:
:: Is shaken to the  core sees an apparition::

Host Scooter says:
ACTION: The Ferengi XO suddenly sees a ghost dead center (heh) in front of him... He freaks out.

CSO_Nash says:
XO: Aye, sir. ::Fires::

Host XO_Avaj says:
ACTION: The phaser fire misses the Ferengi vessel completely…probably due to the poor visibility on board the Rapier’s bridge.

FeringiXO_Pheonix says:
@ Self: Ahhhhhh!!!!

CNS_Arianna says:
::Runs over to check on CSO::

FCO_Jarek says:
:: Checks internal sensors for intrusion::

FCO_Buzz says:
%::Turns quickly trying to see the image that just floated by::

FerengiCO_Bruck says:
@::Looks at the XO::  XO: What is the matter with you?

SO_Weaver says:
::Shakes his head and rubs his eyes again, continuing to scan::

FeringiXO_Pheonix says:
@::Drops to the floor and hides under his console::

EO_Porter says:
::Fixes the software problem by adding some new commands::

FeringiXO_Pheonix says:
@ CO: There's a...a...thing there, sir…

FCO_Buzz says:
%::Shakes head, rubs forehead and concentrates on the console::

Host Scooter says:
ACTION: An image of some ghost with a metal blade ready to stab appears in front of the Ferengi CO.

CSO_Nash says:
:: Is alright. ::  CNS: I'm alright.

FerengiCO_Bruck says:
@XO:  What I don't see anything.  ::Sees the figure and runs in a corner cowering::

FCO_Buzz says:
%::Turns to the yeoman who just entered and receives report::

FCO_Jarek says:
:: Raises both eyebrows in awe of the happenings here::

FerengiCO_Bruck says:
@Ghost:  Go away.  I paid my taxes.

FeringiXO_Pheonix says:
::Snickers at his CO::

SO_Weaver says:
::Thinks that the transporter interference may be related to the visions, and runs a scan to check his hunch::

FCO_Buzz says:
%::Curses in four languages and opens channel to Rapier::

EO_Porter says:
*XO*: The lights should come back on any minute now, sir.  Apparently the Yellow Alert status caused some problem with this new software.  It sort of like it caused a short circuit, sir.

Host XO_Avaj says:
CSO: Status on the Ferengi vessel?

FCO_Buzz says:
%COM: Rapier: Whatever you're going to do, it best happen soon.

Host XO_Avaj says:
*EO* Thank you.

Host Scooter says:
ACTION: The house lights come back up... But the ghosts remain... almost looking like they've taken form of real people... just... transparent.

FerengiCO_Bruck says:
@XO:  Tell them we surrender, we surrender and do it now

FeringiXO_Pheonix says:
@ COM: We surrender...just get these things off our ship!!

FCO_Buzz says:
%::Jerks back in shock at the image standing next to him::

FCO_Jarek says:
XO: They appear to be drifting, sir.

FCO_Jarek says:
XO: In our direction.

Host XO_Avaj says:
FCO: Can we use the tractor beam to correct their course?

FCO_Buzz says:
%COM: Rapier: Just been informed, we have a plasma leak.

CSO_Nash says:
XO: Sir, I don't know they bugged out.

FerengiCO_Bruck says:
@::Still cowering in the corner::

FCO_Jarek says:
XO: With a mild modification, yes, sir.

Host Scooter says:
ACTION: Ferengi CO, trembling, backs into a console and hits a Blinky Light[tm] (copyright 2000 Ian Robinson). Transport inhibitor whines down, to the surprise of all.

Host XO_Avaj says:
FCO: Do it.

SO_Weaver says:
XO:  The inhibitor is down, sir.

FeringiXO_Pheonix says:
@::Hides behind his console::

FCO_Jarek says:
:: Adjusts the tractor beam to repulse::

OPS_Thomas says:
XO: I can beam them out now, sir.

Host XO_Avaj says:
OPS: Beam the crew of the Anchorage to the Rapier.

FCO_Jarek says:
XO: Done, sir.  They are moving away.

OPS_Thomas says:
XO: Aye, sir.

EO_Porter says:
::Heads back to M.E. and starts writing a memo to the Environmental Control software designers, telling them about the problem and he attaches a copy of the diagnostic results for them to look over when they get back to SB 412::

FCO_Buzz says:
%COM: Rapier: Are you listening to me!?

Host Scooter says:
ACTION: The apparitions of unknown people become more prevalent, with an eerieness among themselves that is unexplainable.

OPS_Thomas says:
::Beams the crew of Anchorage to Sick Bay.::

SO_Weaver says:
::Turns his attention to the visions, checking for temporal disturbances::

FCO_Buzz says:
::Appears in the Rapier's cargo bay::

Host XO_Avaj says:
COM: Anchorage: Stand by.

FCO_Buzz says:
::The rest of his crew and the passengers are with him, as are the images::

FerengiCO_Bruck says:
@Self:  I paid my taxes, really I did.  ::Still trembling in guilt because he did not pay his taxes::

CSO_Nash says:
:: Can't put his finger on the feelings these images are causing him::

OPS_Thomas says:
XO: Transport complete.

FCO_Buzz says:
Computer: Tell the CO of this bucket that we are here.

FerengiCO_Bruck says:
@::His mind snapped keeps saying that he has paid his taxes::

Host XO_Avaj says:
OPS: Understood.

Host Scooter says:
<Computer> Buzz: Cannot comply.

FCO_Jarek says:
XO: Ferengi vessel 50000 kMs to port, sir.

FeringiXO_Pheonix says:
@::Cowers behind his console::

Host Scooter says:
<Computer> Buzz: A water pail does not have a Commanding Officer.

FCO_Buzz says:
::Spins around at the voice:: Self: Figures...

FCO_Jarek says:
XO: Sir, I am feeling some sort of awareness from the visions, sir.

Host XO_Avaj says:
FCO: Visions?  Explain.

Host Scooter says:
ACTION: Somehow the Ferengi CO finds the courage to hit the escape button the flight console. The Ferengi ship speeds away.
