Summary: The secret listening post is up and operational. The captain and senior staff were there to witness it's coming online. It has been explained to them that it's purpose is to watch the space between Tholian Space and the Klingon Empire.

It seems there has been activity from the Tholians and the Klingons has asked Starfleet for assistance with monitoring them.

But soon as the post goes online, what does it see but a lone Tholian power signature2 light years away. Stay tuned and find out what happens next.

Agent_Blarney says:
:: leans over the display listening to the sensors :: CO: Captain, do you recognize that signal?

CTO_Cmdr_McQueen says:
:: looks at the signal and raises an eyebrow::

Host Captain_Nelson says:
::leans and looks::  Agent: But why here?
Host CO_Capt_Adamson says:
::Frowns and says nothing but continues to listen to the signal::

aOPS_Ens_Bedford says:
::Stands near the back of the room, mouth scrunched in a skeptical half-frown::

CTO_Cmdr_McQueen says:
::looks at Blarney:: Blarney: Spose your not gonna share the reason a Tholian is sitting on our doorstep

Agent_Blarney says:
CO: Captain, that Tholian signal is heading towards Federation space.

Host Captain_Nelson says:
CO: The Baikal is in no condition, would you take the Triton and look into that.

CTO_Cmdr_McQueen says:
::grumbles and turns to the CO:: CO: Captain I don’t believe in coincidences, I suggest we exercise caution and make like sheep and get the flock outta here

Agent_Blarney says:
CTO: The translator is saying something about a Federation shuttle. Does that make sense?

Host CO_Capt_Adamson says:
Nelson:  Is that a fact Capt Nelson, so what happened to your ship?  ::smiles::

CTO_Cmdr_McQueen says:
Blarney: A shuttle? One of ours?

Host CO_Capt_Adamson says:
::Whispers:;  CTO:  I'm with you on that.

Agent_Blarney says:
:: looks stern :: CTO: Yes, apparently they have one and are towing it....back towards Tholian space.

CTO_Cmdr_McQueen says:
::checks the sensor feed::

Host CO_Capt_Adamson says:
Nelson:  Convenient... Tell me Captain, how do you like coincidences?

Agent_Blarney says:
CTO: Are you missing a shuttle?

Host Captain_Nelson says:
CO: Are you accusing me of anything, Captain.

CTO_Cmdr_McQueen says:
::checks the ships shuttles::

CTO_Cmdr_McQueen says:
Blarney: All shuttles accounted for

CTO_Cmdr_McQueen says:
::swears loudly::

aOPS_Ens_Bedford says:
::Starts at the commander's outburst::

Host Captain_Nelson says:
::overhears Mcqueen outburst::  CO: Now you going to stand here and banter, or you going to see to this. I would hate to have to call Starfleet just to ask what to do.

Agent_Blarney says:
:: walks over to the Captain :: CO: Captain, you are the only ship in the sector, you have to find out what the Tholians are up to.

::stands in the TL with the captain::

aOPS_Ens_Bedford says:
::Sidles in along the wall of the turbolift car::

CEO_Ens_Hogan says:

CTO_Cmdr_McQueen says:
*CO*: Tholian dead ahead, shuttle is in a towing web.

aCMO_Danara says:
:: puttering in her lab :: Self: These human extracts just aren't working. I need another sample.

CTO_Cmdr_McQueen says:
::watches the weapons track:: CO: Weapons away

aCMO_Danara says:

Host CO_Capt_Adamson says:
CTO:  Confirm hit...  ::looks intently on the screen.::

Action: The small vessel manages to dodge all but one torpedo, it has taken damage to its sub light engines.

Host CO_Capt_Adamson says:
::hears the doctor:;  aCMO:  Not at the moment Doctor, but have sickbay ready just in case.

CO: Firing

CTO_Cmdr_McQueen says:
::looks at his console:: CO: He`s getting ready to run skipper, wapr engines coming online

Action: Just as the scout ship turns to jump to warp it takes the hit on it's tail end and goes adrift.

aCMO_Danara says:
:: finds herself at the operations console :: aOPS: Ensign are you alright?

Host CO_Capt_Adamson says:
aOPS:  make sure there is nobody on that shuttle.

CTO_Cmdr_McQueen says:
CO: Direct hit, he`s dead in space Captain

Host CO_Capt_Adamson says:
aFCO:  plot a course, follow that scout ship.

aOPS_Ens_Bedford says:
CO:  Aye Captain.  ::Runs a scan on the shuttlecraft, and once again attempts to raise it, but is again unsuccessful::  Still no way to tell...all transmissions are being blocked.

aOPS_Ens_Bedford says:
aCMO:  I seem to be in one piece, Doctor.  ::Smiles briefly and looks back to his console::

aCMO_Danara says:
aOPS: Excellent. By the way your species?

Action: The scout ship explodes and rocks the Triton back bringing it' shields down more to 50% and warp nacelles both take damage.

aOPS_Ens_Bedford says:
aCMO:  Human.  ::Nods once, then rocks with the explosion, hanging onto his console::

CTO_Cmdr_McQueen says:
::holds his console::

Host CO_Capt_Adamson says:
::Gets knocked out of her chair.::

CTO_Cmdr_McQueen says:
:: recovers his composure and see`s his cigar is trashed. Looks at the now dead cigar and grumbles::

:: grabs the Ensign's shoulder to steady herself :: aOPS: Thank you. I'll be seeing you once this current problem is handled. :: smiles and walks toward the engineering console ::

Host CO_Capt_Adamson says:
::Gets up and sits  back down into her chair::

Action: Tobacco has gotten all in the hair of the CO.

aOPS_Ens_Bedford says:
::Allocates more power to recharge the shields, but hopes they won't need them any further::  aCMO:  You okay, Doctor?

CEO_Ens_Hogan says:
::hangs on to her console despite the fact her chair tips over. Scrambles back up::

aCMO_Danara says:
:: turns to aOPS and winks :: aOPS: Just fine Ensign.

CTO_Cmdr_McQueen says:
CO: Shuttles adrift skipper

aCMO_Danara says:
:: stops at the CEO :: CEO: Ensign, are you alright? Any bumps or bruises?

Host CO_Capt_Adamson says:
CTO:  LOCK ON TRACTOR BEAM.

CEO_Ens_Hogan says:
::shakes her head, not taking her eyes off the screen:: CMO: Several, but none that I can't work with. Thank you, Doctor.

CTO_Cmdr_McQueen says:
CO: Unable skipper, the web is disrupting the beam

CO: I've been rerouting power needed.

Host CO_Capt_Adamson says:
CEO:  Exchellent.

Host CO_Capt_Adamson says:
CTO:  We need to disrupt that beam Commander.

CTO_Cmdr_McQueen says:
CO: We could use low intensity phaser bursts. Enough to disrupt things but not damage the shuttle

CEO_Ens_Hogan says:
::frowns and swears under her breath:: CO: Captain, I'm receiving reports that we have some damage to the nacelles

Host CO_Capt_Adamson says:
::Closes her eyes:;  CEO:  Will we be able to go to warp?

CEO_Ens_Hogan says:
::smiles weakly at the CMO:: CMO: Maybe another time, Doctor... ::gets up and heads for the turbolift:: CO: Not until I can get to them to make the repairs.

CTO_Cmdr_McQueen says:
CO: Aye skipper. ::sets up a low intensity phaser burst ::

CTO_Cmdr_McQueen says:
CO:Ready to fire when ready

aCMO_Danara says:
:: shakes her head sadly and moves to the CTO ::
