Host CO_Capt_Adamson says:
::Sitting in the centre chair::

aOPS_Ens_Bedford says:
::At operations, monitoring the overview board::

Host AFCO_Lousy says:
CO: 15 minutes till we reach the planet.

aXO_Blarney says:
:: steps onto the bridge and makes her way to her seat ::

CTO_Cmdr_Wall says:
::steps onto the bridge coffee cup in hand::

Host CO_Capt_Adamson says:
AFCO:  Thank you.  Drop out of warp and prepare for orbit.

Host CO_Capt_Adamson says:
aXO:  Everything ready for the transfer?

Host AFCO_Lousy says:
::dropping out of warp and going to full impulse::

CTO_Cmdr_Wall says:
::looks around the bridge::

aXO_Blarney says:
::nods :: CO: Yes Captain, all the passengers are prepared for departure
CEO_Ens_Hogan says:
::is making the final preparations for arrival and finally getting rid of the portable zoo::

aOPS_Ens_Bedford says:
::Watches power flow as they drop out of warp and impulse engines engage::

Host CO_Capt_Adamson says:
aXO:  Excellent.  ::Grinning::  I'm not trying to get rid of you or nothing.

Host CO_Capt_Adamson says:
aOPS:  Please contact the USS Baikal

aXO_Blarney says:
:: smiles :: CO: I understand Captain.

Host CO_Capt_Adamson says:
CTO:  Could you please check out the status of engineering.

CTO_Cmdr_Wall says:
CO: Aye skipper

Host CO_Capt_Adamson says:
::Sits back in her chair and closes her eyes for a moment.

CTO_Cmdr_Wall says:
::turns and enters the TL::

CEO_Ens_Hogan says:
::monitors power to the dilithium chambers and makes adjustments:: Self: Easy does it, girl. We're nearly there.

aOPS_Ens_Bedford says:
::Opens a channel and speaks simply::  COM: USS Baikal:  USS Triton to USS Baikal.

CTO_Cmdr_Wall says:
::enters the TL and sends it to ME::

USS Baikal says:
@ audio only::  COM:Triton: you made it glad to here from you.

Host CO_Capt_Adamson says:
COM:Baikal:  Glad we made it too.  What is wrong with your video?

CTO_Cmdr_Wall says:
:: steps outs of the TL and into ME:: CEO: Report

aOPS_Ens_Bedford says:
::Rechecks the communications signal and finds no video feed...shrugs slightly::

aXO_Blarney says:
*CEO*: This is the bridge. Ensign, is the pod ready for release?

CEO_Ens_Hogan says:
::taps her commbadge:: *XO*: Ready and waiting... ::thinks:: And not a moment too soon.

aXO_Blarney says:
:: rubs her arm gently ::

USS Baikal says:
 @COM:Triton: The interference in the atmosphere will not allow a clear picture. We have shuttle preparing to leave and meet you in orbit, if you can have a few of your shuttles standing by to help in lowering the pod to the surface.

CEO_Ens_Hogan says:
::looks up:: CTO: I'm just waiting on the word so I can get rid of that... ::checks herself:: I mean.. release the pod

CTO_Cmdr_Wall says:
::smiles:: CEO: Now i can relate to that

Host CO_Capt_Adamson says:
COM:Baikal:  I can do that.  Will you be coming up in the shuttle?

CTO_Cmdr_Wall says:
CEO: Think the skipper would notice if it accidently drifted off into a black hole

aXO_Blarney says:
*CEO*: Begin release checks. Stand by for full power transfer to pod controls.

Host CO_Capt_Adamson says:
aFCO:  Dispatch a couple shuttles and then have engineering release the pod.

CEO_Ens_Hogan says:
::smirks and glances at her console, making a few adjustments:: CTO: Notice? Yeah, probably. Care? I doubt it...

CEO_Ens_Hogan says:
*XO*: Standing by.

Host AFCO_Lousy says:
CO: yes mam, and we are just now entering orbit.

USS Baikal says:
@ COM: Triton: I can or you can come here. Either way. Though I do need the station up and running before you debark.

CTO_Cmdr_Wall says:
::grins evilly:: CEO: now where`s that release button?

Action: The Triton shudders a little causing the CTO to spill his coffee all over himself.

Host CO_Capt_Adamson says:
COM:Baikal:  We are at your disposal.  I would prefer that you come here.  I think my guests and I have had our fill of each other.

aOPS_Ens_Bedford says:
::Starts a bit, and immediately looks over his master situations display to try to figure out what caused the shudder::

Host CO_Capt_Adamson says:
::Feels the ship shake.::  aOPS:  What was that?

aOPS_Ens_Bedford says:
CO:  Looking now, Ma'am.

CTO_Cmdr_Wall says:
::swears::

CEO_Ens_Hogan says:
::motions to the display:: CTO: Right there, but I hate to break it to you, there aren't any Black Holes around... 

USS Baikal says:
@ COM:Triton:  ::laughing a little:: understood captain I'll be seeing you in a few. Nelson out.

aXO_Blarney says:
:: stands and walks to the operations station :: aOPS: Anything you can see?

CTO_Cmdr_Wall says:
CEO: I`m going to change.......... if they accidently break free I’ll provide you with an alibi

CEO_Ens_Hogan says:
::smirks and hands the CTO a hankie::

CTO_Cmdr_Wall says:
::takes the hankie:: CEO: Thanks, I’m off to the bridge

aOPS_Ens_Bedford says:
::Closes the channel::  aXO:  Not as yet, Ma'am.  ::Glances to Blarney a moment, wondering what, exactly, caused her to mellow out so much...takes a more thorough look at intertial dampeners and structural integrity::

CEO_Ens_Hogan says:
CTO: You're welcome. You might want to replicate a travelling mug. It might get a little bumpy.

CTO_Cmdr_Wall says:
::smiles:: CEO: This is my favorite

aOPS_Ens_Bedford says:
aXO/CO:  Looks like it was just some turbulence from the upper atmosphere...a bit of shear caused mostly by having the pod with us.

CTO_Cmdr_Wall says:
::heads for the TL::

Host CO_Capt_Adamson says:
aFCO:  Stop parking us too close to the atmosphere.... pull us up by 1000 klm.

Host AFCO_Lousy says:
::pulls up a little:: CO: sorry mam I’m still learning the ropes.

aXO_Blarney says:
:: puts a hand gently on his shoulder :: aOPS: Keep an ear open, there may be more out there.

CTO_Cmdr_Wall says:
TL: bridge

Host CO_Capt_Adamson says:
aFCO:  Yeah ok.  Pray that you didn't spill Wall's coffee.  He gets cranky when that happens.

Action: 5 Shuttles are seen approaching form the planet surface.

aOPS_Ens_Bedford says:
::Glances to the aFCO a moment, wondering how long he's been doing this...opens a little window in the corner of the console with basic navigational controls, to act as a copilot in case he's needed::

aOPS_Ens_Bedford says:
aXO:  Will do, Ma'am.

CTO_Cmdr_Wall says:
::steps onto the bridge and looks at the aFCO:: aFCO: Nice flying dumbo

CEO_Ens_Hogan says:
::the smell of coffee is now having an effect on her. Sighs and gets herself a mug of coffee from the replicator::

aOPS_Ens_Bedford says:
::Notes a little blinking indicator at the other edge of his console, and brings it up...looks at the header, and blinks in surprise::  aXO:  Ma'am...

Host AFCO_Lousy says:
CO: captain, i have 5 shuttles coming in form the planet surface.

aXO_Blarney says:
:: leans down :: aOPS: What is it?

aOPS_Ens_Bedford says:
aXO:  Seems I have a coded message for you, but I don't know from where.  Would you like to take it off the bridge?  ::Looks to her expectantly::

CTO_Cmdr_Wall says:
::moves to Tac:: CO: Engineering reports they are ready to cut our guests loose

Host CO_Capt_Adamson says:
aFCO:  Five?  That is quite the welcoming party.  Contact the lead shuttle they should have visual now.  Nobody boards the ship understood?

Host CO_Capt_Adamson says:
aOPS:  Ens, lock out transport controls until we can verify.  I don't want anyone entering this ship.

Host AFCO_Lousy says:
CO: understood.  ::looks over to OPS for the COM::

aOPS_Ens_Bedford says:
CO:  Understood.  ::Accesses transporter control and puts protocols in place to deny any beaming in until further notice::

Host AFCO_Lousy says:
CO: and shuttle 2 and 4 are prepped.

aXO_Blarney says:
:: taps his shoulder and smiles :: aOPS: Send to the Captain's ready room.

aOPS_Ens_Bedford says:
::Taps another button and opens a channel to the lead shuttlecraft::  AFCO/CO:  Channel open to the shuttle group.

Host CO_Capt_Adamson says:
aFCO:  Thank you.

aXO_Blarney says:
:: walks to the CO :: CO: Captain, I have an incoming message, may I use your ready room?

Host CO_Capt_Adamson says:
COM:Shuttle:  Let's talk face to face..

aOPS_Ens_Bedford says:
aXO:  Aye.  ::Swivels a bit in his chair as he redirects the coded transmission for Blarney to the ready room::

Host CO_Capt_Adamson says:
::Looks at Blarney hard still not trusting her.::  aXO:  Go ahead.

Shuttlecraft says:
@ COM: Triton: we have visual now Triton.

aXO_Blarney says:
CO: Thank you Captain. :: walks to the ready room ::

aOPS_Ens_Bedford says:
::Puts the shuttlecraft's transmission on screen::

Action: On the screen is the face of Captain Andrew Nelson of the USS Baikal.

CTO_Cmdr_Wall says:
::turns in his chair and looks around the bridge. Slips a cigar tube out and rolls it absently in his fingers as he watches the main viewer::

aOPS_Ens_Bedford says:
::Returns his attention to the transporter systems, and directs the computer to raise the shields if sensors detect transporter sensors attempting to target any area on the Triton::

aXO_Blarney says:
:: taps the control on the Captain's desk :: COM: Ship: Blarney here, go ahead.

Host CO_Capt_Adamson says:
::Smiling she greets the Capt.::  COM:Shuttle:  It's good to see you Capt.  ::taps a note to Bedford to verify the image of Nelson and make sure he is what he says he is::

Host CO_Capt_Adamson says:
COM:Shuttle:  Oh by the way, Admiral Rachel Xavier sends her regards.  ::Continues to smile.::

aOPS_Ens_Bedford says:
::Receives the captain's message and looks up his dossier in the Starfleet database::

CO Nelson says:
@ COM:Triton:  Good to see you too captain, I'll beam over and let my engineering staff handle the work, but I will need 4 more shuttles to traffic down the POD.  ::laughs at the ADM mention:: I'll be sure to  tell her how much I love my job next time I see her.

aOPS_Ens_Bedford says:
::Taps out a reply to the captain that Nelson checks out::

Host CO_Capt_Adamson says:
::Laughs:: COM:Nelson:  You know Rachel doesn't care about that., but I will pass the message.

Klingon says:
#COM: AXO: ::said in Klingon::we have the package ready, and know i am not responsible if the federation or the empire finds out.

Host CO_Capt_Adamson says:
:: types back thank you to Bedford::  COM:CO:  Capt, just precaution mind you.  I'll allow you to beam aboard.  I've received information that I'm not happy with.  I also have shuttles standing by and the Pod is ready to be released.

CO Nelson says:
@ COM:Triton: Thank you captain.  ::nodding:: we don't always like what we have to do.  once your shuttle are ready I’ll beam over.

aOPS_Ens_Bedford says:
::Arranges clearance for Captain Nelson to beam aboard::

aXO_Blarney says:
COM: Ship: No worries. Everything is under control on this end. The pod will be released shortly. Have your people complete their mission.

Host CO_Capt_Adamson says:
::nods to Lousy to release the shuttles::

Klingon says:
@COM:AXO: 5 of your minutes.   ::and the com goes dead::

Host CO_Capt_Adamson says:
CTO:  Commander, please meet Capt Nelson in the transporter room.

CTO_Cmdr_Wall says:
::stands and heads for the TL:: CO: Aye Skipper

aXO_Blarney says:
:: rubs her arm again and taps the panel :: Self: Damn amateurs! :: returns to the bridge ::

Action: the shuttle all leave the Triton and fall under the command of the Baikal shuttle crew to prepare to tow the POD to the surface.

CTO_Cmdr_Wall says:
:: enters the TL again and heads for TR1:: TL: Morning Turbo lift, TR1 if you wouldn’t mind my dear

aXO_Blarney says:
:: takes her seat :: CO: Sorry about that Captain. Starfleet had a slight problem with the mayor's wife. You understand.

CTO_Cmdr_Wall says:
::grins evily:: TL And a little elevator music would be nice

Computer says:
 CTO: Please specify directions.  ::the TL is not moving::

aOPS_Ens_Bedford says:
::Notes that Blarney is finished with her conversation...closes the channel and checks into the header a bit more deeply to ensure its Starfleet clearance, as he'd been too busy before::

CEO_Ens_Hogan says:
::sits back, enjoying her coffee, waiting for the word to get rid of their load::

CTO_Cmdr_Wall says:
::puts on a scottish brogue:: TL: Are ya not listening to me ya wee infernal machine. TR1

Host CO_Capt_Adamson says:
aXO:  Don't BS me Blarney.  You are not off my ship yet.

Host AFCO_Lousy says:
CO: Shuttle signal they are ready to take the load off our hands.

Host CO_Capt_Adamson says:
aFCO: Well then let them go.

aOPS_Ens_Bedford says:
::Enters a note in the communications log that the transmission for Blarney was classified and registered to have been from Starfleet Intelligence::

Action: the TL starts off.

Host CO_Capt_Adamson says:
*CEO*:  Ensign, good news!  Drop the Pod!

Host CO_Capt_Adamson says:
::Is not trying to sound too excited and relieved.::

Action: A Klingon BoP decloaks and flies into the atmosphere of the planet.

aOPS_Ens_Bedford says:
::Sees an alarm pop up on his sensor board, and switches to it...hardly believes his eyes::  CO:  ...Captain!  Klingon Bird of Prey decloaking and heading toward the planet!

CEO_Ens_Hogan says:
::nearly drops her coffee:: *CO*: What? Are you serious? ::blinks and resumes her professional demeanor:: Err, I mean. Acknowledged, Captain. ::hands can't move quick enough over the controls to disengage the pod::

Host CO_Capt_Adamson says:
::Glares at Blarney:: aXO:  You knew about this?

CTO_Cmdr_Wall says:
::steps out and heads for TR1::

Host CO_Capt_Adamson says:
aFCO:  Follow  the ship.

aOPS_Ens_Bedford says:
CO:  Picking up a transport from the Bird of Prey to the surface.

Host AFCO_Lousy says:
CO: we can't sir, the POD has just been detached and we are not cleared yet.

Host CO_Capt_Adamson says:
::Stands up and walks before the aXO::  Ok Shannon, what was in the transport?

aXO_Blarney says:
:: sits forward :: CO: No Captain. There have been no reports of any Klingon ships in this sector.

Action: The POD detaches from the Triton and the shuttles are scrambling around at the sight of the BoP.

Host CO_Capt_Adamson says:
aFCO:  Follow that bird as soon as we can.  Bring aboard Nelson now and keep track of that ion and tachyon trail.

CTO_Cmdr_Wall says:
::walks into TR1 and nods to the Transporter Chief:: Chief: ready when you are chief

aXO_Blarney says:
aFCO: Make sure to keep us between the pod and that ship!

Host CO_Capt_Adamson says:
aXO:  That is not what I asked.  Now answer me.

TR Chief says:
 CTO: standing by on your order sir.

aOPS_Ens_Bedford says:
::Watches the Klingon vessel closely on sensors::  CO:  Bird of Prey has broken through the clouds and is on its way out of the atmosphere.

CTO_Cmdr_Wall says:
Chief: Energize

Action: The BoP cloaks and disappears off the sensors.

Action: CO Nelson appears on the Transporter Pad.

aOPS_Ens_Bedford says:
CO:  It has cloaked, Ma'am...lost it on sensors, but attempting to track it.  ::Checks for any tell tale emissions, but doesn't expect to see anything::

aXO_Blarney says:
CO: I have no idea Captain. Were additional supplies and equipment ordered?

CO Nelson says:
 CTO: Mr. Wall  There is a Klingon Bird of prey out there.

aXO_Blarney says:
CO: I will have Commander Wall investigate.

CTO_Cmdr_Wall says:
Nelson: Welcome aboard sir. Understood sir

Host CO_Capt_Adamson says:
aXO:  You tell  me.   What was that call?

CTO_Cmdr_Wall says:
*CO*: Skipper Captain Nelson is aboard and he says that there be Klingons out there

Host CO_Capt_Adamson says:
CTO:  No kidding.

Host CO_Capt_Adamson says:
aOPS:  ETA till we are cleared of the POD

CTO_Cmdr_Wall says:
*CO*: I gather this bit of information is a tad late?

aOPS_Ens_Bedford says:
::Switches over to sensor information on the pod::

CTO_Cmdr_Wall says:
::turns to Nelson:: Nelson: this way to the bridge sir

CTO_Cmdr_Wall says:
::heads for the TL::

Host CO_Capt_Adamson says:
CTO:  Just a tad.  Get back to the bridge.

aXO_Blarney says:
CO: Captain, may we speak in private?

CTO_Cmdr_Wall says:
*CO*: On our way mon capitain

aOPS_Ens_Bedford says:
CO:  Approximately twenty minutes, Captain, as long as all proceeds as planned....

Host CO_Capt_Adamson says:
;;Looks at Blarney:: aXO:  Every time one of you want to talk to me privately.  I get what I don't like.  You can speak here.

CTO_Cmdr_Wall says:
::enters the TL:: TL: Bridge asap

Host CO_Capt_Adamson says:
::Curses under her breath.::  aOPS:  That is too much time.

CO Nelson says:
::following behind the CTO::  CTO: I do expect to know what is going on. around here

aOPS_Ens_Bedford says:
::Looks to the captain sympathetically, but doesn't have any alternatives::  CO:  That's probably the best they can manage, I'm afraid.

CTO_Cmdr_Wall says:
Nelson: the skipper will brief you

Host CO_Capt_Adamson says:
::Nods:: aOPS:  Understood.

CTO_Cmdr_Wall says:
::steps out onto the bridge with Lord Nelson::

CO Nelson says:
:: stepps onto the bridge and sees Blarney::   AXO: oh great  your here.  ::throwing his arms up like in defeat::

aXO_Blarney says:
CO: Very well Captain. Well it seems that the mayor's wife informed Starfleet Intel that something was going on with some people on this ship. Since her friendship with Admiral Mo'rak is well known to us, they needed to contact me to be sure that the pod settlement would go smoothly.

CTO_Cmdr_Wall says:
::smiles:: Nelson: Oh so you know our illustrious aXO

aXO_Blarney says:
:: turns quickly :: CO Nelson: Nice to see you again  too Nelson. :: grins ::

CTO_Cmdr_Wall says:
CO: Skipper may i present Captain Nelson of the USS Baikal.

Host CO_Capt_Adamson says:
aXO:  Since Admiral Mo'rak is my superior, you know I will be verifying that.  Just so you know Commander ::Spits it out::  I do have my sources also and hum.......let's just say your next assignment depends on my recommendation.  Now do you want to rephrase what you just told me?

Host CO_Capt_Adamson says:
Nelson:  Welcome aboard Capt Nelson.

CO Nelson says:
 CO: thank you captain Adamson, though I wish I wasn't looking at her again. her and her SFI.  Baa.

aXO_Blarney says:
:: smiles at Nelson and whispers in his ear :: Nelson: Easy boy. We're not done here just yet.

Host CO_Capt_Adamson says:
Nelson:  Now you see my problem.
