Previously on DS102:

The Admiral and Captain Marek are separately preparing to debrief the Romulan guests aboard the Scorpius as it warps to DS-102 at Warp 8... And in the meantime, the following happened...

Host Gerry says:

CNS_Rand says:
::leaves her office, headed for the guest quarters to check on the Romulans::
SC_Capt_Marek says:
::prepares some notes to question the Romulans::
XO_Cmdr_Mitchell says:
:: on the Bridge of the Scorpius monitoring flight operations ::
SC_Capt_Marek says:
*Admiral*: This Captain Marek, Sir.
Host ADM_Taylor says:
*SC*:  Yes, Captain?
CNS_Rand says:
::steps off the lift and walks quietly down the hall::
CSO_Ens_On`tia says:
::on the Bridge at the science station::
SC_Capt_Marek says:
*Admiral*: I wonder if the Counselor can assist us with the interrogation? I certainly trust in her empathic abilities, and I think she could give us a big help, Sir.
Host ADM_Taylor says:
*SC*:  I agree with your assessment when the time comes, Captain. See to it. Taylor out.
SC_Capt_Marek says:
*Admiral*: Very well, Thanks, Sir
SC_Capt_Marek says:
*CNS*: Counselor Rand, the Admiral, and I will want you to assist us with the interrogation. See to report to us as soon as it begins.
XO_Cmdr_Mitchell says:
::wanders over to the Science Station on the Bridge::
CSO_Ens_On`tia says:
::glances up as the XO approaches:: XO: Is there something I can for you Sir?
CO_Capt_Yo`Ghi says:
:: walking around in his Ready Room ::
XO_Cmdr_Mitchell says:
CSO: Nothing in particular. Anything showing on short or long range scanners?
CNS_Rand says:
::steps past security and starts to ring the chime... pauses when she hears Marek:: *SC*:  Understood, Captain. I'm at the guest quarters now, where are the interrogations to take place?
SC_Capt_Marek says:
::if he were human, we would say right now... 'I got a bad feeling about this whole situation'::
CSO_Ens_On`tia says:
XO: No Sir
XO_Cmdr_Mitchell says:
CSO: Any interesting anomalies?
CSO_Ens_On`tia says:
::shaking her head:: XO: XO: No Sir ::almost wishing for something to show up on her scans::
SC_Capt_Marek says:
*CNS*: That's a coincidence, Counselor, there will be held right there, at our "guests" quarters. Listen, I got an idea, why do not you pay them an "official visit" and try to gain their confidence. That could be useful, if they are trying to hide something from us, I think you will be capable of detecting it on the spot, when they are under inter
XO_Cmdr_Mitchell says:
CSO: Anything at all? ::confirms that 99% of the time, space flight is pretty boring::
CSO_Ens_On`tia says:
XO: No, It's pretty clear out there. 
CNS_Rand says:
*SC*: Yes, Sir. On previous visits, I've managed to build up a good rapport with our guests. I've not found any duplicity in them and don't think that will change. However, I will gladly visit with them until you arrive.
CO_Capt_Yo`Ghi says:
:: walk out of his Ready Room and look around the Bridge ::
SC_Capt_Marek says:
*CNS*: Please do. We will arrive to their quarters soon. Marek out.
XO_Cmdr_Mitchell says:
ALL: Captain on the Bridge
CNS_Rand says:
::nods to herself as she glances at two security guards, then reaches and rings the chimes::
CO_Capt_Yo`Ghi says:
XO: Commander, have you heard about the debriefing of the Romulans?
SC_Capt_Marek says:
::succumbing to his almost obsessive sense of security, to not say almost paranoia, accesses the tactical systems and reinforces passive scanning over the Romulan’s quarters, trying to be sure that no transmission is taking place from/to there::
CNS_Rand says:
::enters the guest quarters when invited::  All:  Good morning, did you rest well?
CNS_Rand says:
<T'Rael> :: frowns slightly, then nods ::  CNS:  It is comfortable, however I feel more like a prisoner than a guest.
CNS_Rand says:
T'Rael:  I understand that, however, this is for your safety as much as it is anything else, though I believe you already know that.
CNS_Rand says:
<T'Rael> ::nods again::  CNS: Of course, and you and a few others have done much to make us feel welcome. I expected your captain before now.
CNS_Rand says:
T'Rael:  I'm sure that will be remedied soon.
XO_Cmdr_Mitchell says:
CO: No Sir, I thought you and Captain Marek were interviewing them along with Admiral Taylor
SC_Capt_Marek says:
::finishes with his notes, and decides to go to the Bridge until the Admiral calls him for the interrogation::
CSO_Ens_On`tia says:
::continues with her duties at her station::
CO_Capt_Yo`Ghi says:
XO: No, the Admiral wanted to interrogate and I suggested Captain Marek joined him since he lead the mission into Romulan space
CO_Capt_Yo`Ghi says:
XO: And I don't really like those kinds of interrogations
SC_Capt_Marek says:
::Arrives to the Bridge::
XO_Cmdr_Mitchell says:
CO: Understood. Everything is apparently running smoothly and normally, with nothing unusual showing on long or short range sensors
CNS_Rand says:
<T'Rael> ::shakes his head and begins to pace::  CNS: Not soon enough if you were to ask me.
CSO_Ens_On`tia says:
::frowns as she reads the scans and taps the console:: to self: Where did you come from?
XO_Cmdr_Mitchell says:
ALL: Captain on the Bridge
SC_Capt_Marek says:
All: At ease... ::thinks that he never actually like that protocol when a crew is out there in a mission, anyway...::
CO_Capt_Yo`Ghi says:
XO: How well are the engines taking our current speed?
SC_Capt_Marek says:
::approaches to his station and links it with the Master display::
CSO_Ens_On`tia says:
::glances at the XO before going back to the scans:: XO: Sir? We seem to have picked up a ghost.
XO_Cmdr_Mitchell says:
CO: So far, our engines haven't gone critical... Engineering is monitoring things closely
CNS_Rand says:
T'Rael: There is no reason to work yourself up like this. You will get to see the Captain soon. Until then, is there anything that I can help you with?
CNS_Rand says:
<T'Rael>  ::smiles:: CNS: A good stiff drink...::shakes his head:: It's too early for that
CO_Capt_Yo`Ghi says:
XO: I guess we will hear them scream when we push the ship too far
XO_Cmdr_Mitchell says:
CSO: Acknowledged. Can you make anything out at all?
SC_Capt_Marek says:
::notices the ghost signal in sensors, but waits for the CO orders to the CSO regarding that::
CSO_Ens_On`tia says:
XO: Nothing Sir, only that it seems to be following us. 
XO_Cmdr_Mitchell says:
CSO: Keep a close eye... note course and changes
XO_Cmdr_Mitchell says:
CO: We've got a tail Captain
CSO_Ens_On`tia says:
XO: Yes Sir. ::moving her fingers over the console to refine the search further::
CO_Capt_Yo`Ghi says:
CSO: How far from the ship?
CSO_Ens_On`tia says:
CO: it's at extreme sensor range Sir.
XO_Cmdr_Mitchell says:
CO: Captain, we could extend the range of sensors by dropping a probe, letting it passively sit in a stationary position, and then catching some quick intel as the ghost gets closer
SC_Capt_Marek says:
::wonders what is taking the Admiral so long::
Host ADM_Taylor says:
*SC*:  I'm ready if you are Captain. Meet me outside the guest quarters.
SC_Capt_Marek says:
*Admiral*: On my way there.
CO_Capt_Yo`Ghi says:
XO: But then we would give away that we are suspecting something
CO_Capt_Yo`Ghi says:
XO: Could we use a sensor array somewhere in a nearby sector?
XO_Cmdr_Mitchell says:
CO: Not if it remains passive till the ghost approaches
CO_Capt_Yo`Ghi says:
XO: Or another ship passing by?
XO_Cmdr_Mitchell says:
CO: Nothing ventured, nothing gained Sir.
