Deep Space 102 - 10905.01

Federation Lampoon's Galactic Vacation

"The Plot Thickens"

Host Gerry says:
Previously on DS102:

The USS Scorpius gave chase of a pleasure craft that the Captain of that vessel ran until it nearly destroyed itself to try to get to Cardassian space before it was taken. The crew of that vessel were rescued along with four life signs from the planet WonderSpace was located on.  They were apparently captured and removed from against their will...

Now what will happen? What is really going on? Let's find out....

:: sitting in his ready room ::
CTO_Cmdr_Ryan says:
::Motions Captain Menlo out of the turbolift::  Menlo: Okay, out. ::Follows close behind with phaser in hand::
CNS_LtCmdr_Rand says:
CMO: I'm not sure; I don't know that he would understand what a slave trader is.
XO_Cmdr_Mitchell says:
::on the turbolift behind the CTO and Captain Menlo::
CTO_Cmdr_Ryan says:
::Points Menlo in the direction of the Captain's Ready Room, getting more irritated by the minute::
CMO_Cmdr_Turok says:
CNS: Can you determine from him if the person or persons responsible for taking them is still aboard the vessel.
CTO_Cmdr_Ryan says:
::Arrives outside the Captain's Ready Room and presses the door chime::
CTO_Cmdr_Ryan  (Door Chime.wav)
CO_Capt_Yo`Ghi says:
*CTO/XO*: Enter
XO_Cmdr_Mitchell says:
::looks at Ryan in a way to let her know she needs to keep it together::
CTO_Cmdr_Ryan says:
::Motions for Menlo to enter the Ready Room as the doors slide open::
CSO_Ens_S`aumo says:
::glances over at the CMO, then back at the CNS::
Host Gerry says:
<Menlo>::sulks as he walks into the Ready Room::
XO_Cmdr_Mitchell says:
CO: ::follows the others into the Ready Room:: Captain, This is Captain Menlo, formerly of the private shuttle
CNS_LtCmdr_Rand says:
CMO: From what I understand, the people that took him and his family were on the ship. They should be here on the Scorpius.
CSO_Ens_S`aumo says:
CNS: That's so neat that you can read minds like that.
CTO_Cmdr_Ryan says:
::Holsters the phaser then takes up a position behind Menlo::
CMO_Cmdr_Turok says:
CNS/CSO: Well it looks like we have a bit of investigating to do here, doesn't it?
CSO_Ens_S`aumo says:
::nods at the CMO::
CO_Capt_Yo`Ghi says:
Menlo: Captain Menlo.... I hope that everyone from your ship could be saved?
CNS_LtCmdr_Rand says:
CMO/CSO: Perhaps we should make sure that medically they are alright, then get them settled somewhere.  
Host Capt_Menlo says:
CO:  Yes, we all made it off alive. Thank you. ::won't meet anyone's gaze::
CO_Capt_Yo`Ghi says:
Menlo: I'm Captain Yo'Ghi, commanding officer of the USS Scorpius
CNS_LtCmdr_Rand says:
CSO: It's not always possible, but he is making it easier by projecting pictures.
Host Capt_Menlo says:
	CO:  Marckus Menlo. Captain of the Tiber 
CTO_Cmdr_Ryan says:
::Pokes Menlo in the back then whispers:: Menlo: Look at the Captain when he speaks to you.
CO_Capt_Yo`Ghi says:
Menlo: I'd like to know why you did not answer any of my calls
CMO_Cmdr_Turok says:
CNS: Agreed. Let's get them cleared and then we will start our investigation.
Host Capt_Menlo says:
::ignores the CTO's poke::
CSO_Ens_S`aumo says:
::nods to the CNS:: CNS: I wish I could do that, I bet it's neat
XO_Cmdr_Mitchell says:
::gives another warning glance to the CTO::
CNS_LtCmdr_Rand says:
CSO: I can see how it may be seen that way, but it has always been a part of me.
CSO_Ens_S`aumo says:
::thinks:: CNS: I guess sometime you hear things you don't want to, huh?
CNS_LtCmdr_Rand says:
CSO: Oh yes, but not as much now as it used to be.
CMO_Cmdr_Turok says:
::Begins to examine his patient::
CMO_Cmdr_Turok says:
CNS: Please let them know that everything will be alright.
CSO_Ens_S`aumo says:
::nods:: CNS: Oh okay.
CMO_Cmdr_Turok says:
CSO: Any information about the origins of this race of people?
CO_Capt_Yo`Ghi says:
Menlo: About your ship, for how long have you've been its captain?
CNS_LtCmdr_Rand says:
::nods:: CMO: Of course. ::gives the group from the WonderSpace planet a mental image of their safety.
Host Capt_Menlo says:
CO: ::relaxes stance a bit::  I've owned her for about 6 years now. Bought it off a Yridian trader.
CSO_Ens_S`aumo says:
CMO: Well, according to the scans they're native to WonderSpace.
CO_Capt_Yo`Ghi says:
Menlo: Well you should have filed her registry properly, has should have her previous owners, this ship is listed as the property of a man dead for 50 years
CNS_LtCmdr_Rand says:
CMO: Do they meet our health standards?
CMO_Cmdr_Turok says:
CNS: As far I can see they should be fine.
Host Capt_Menlo says:
CO:  Really! I filed that at a station just near Betazed just after I bought her. ::relaxes a bit further::  Honest, Captain. You can check that out at Robson Station.
XO_Cmdr_Mitchell says:
::makes a note to check on that as soon as he leaves the Captain's Ready Room::
CNS_LtCmdr_Rand says:
CMO:  Good, we should try to make them comfortable.
CSO_Ens_S`aumo says:
::still trying to make herself look friendly to the guests::
CO_Capt_Yo`Ghi says:
Menlo: Well that is what we would have done if you had answered our calls at first
CTO_Cmdr_Ryan says:
::Can't believe the crap coming out of Menlo's mouth. Wants to take him down to the brig and interrogate him herself::
Host Capt_Menlo says:
CO:  We tried. We could receive, and not transmit. Our comm was malfunctioning, Captain.  We couldn't respond. ::shrugs::
CO_Capt_Yo`Ghi says:
Menlo: and you could not stop either I guess
Host Capt_Menlo says:
CO:  ::uncomfortable shifting from side to side::  Yeah, we could have, but it's a dangerous area of space, Captain. We've heard fake hails before.
CO_Capt_Yo`Ghi says:
Menlo: Coming from fake Starfleet starships?
Host Capt_Menlo says:
CO:  Like I said, it's a dangerous area of space.
CNS_LtCmdr_Rand says:
CSO: Don't worry, they know you mean know harm.
CO_Capt_Yo`Ghi says:
XO: Commander, you buying that story?
XO_Cmdr_Mitchell says:
CO: Not a whole lot of it Sir. There's not a whole lot of Federation Starships from Starfleet that go around pirating private ships
CNS_LtCmdr_Rand says:
CSO/CMO: Let's get them settled; the Captain needs to be brought up to date on their situation.
XO_Cmdr_Mitchell says:
CO: Unfortunately, we didn't get much of a chance to check anything out on his ship, unless somebody got off a quick sensor reading.
Host Capt_Menlo says:
CO/XO:  Believe what you want. It wouldn't have been the first time in this neck of the woods. The Cardies have all kinds of picket ships that have Federation comm signatures.
CMO_Cmdr_Turok says:
CNS: They are cleared from here.
XO_Cmdr_Mitchell says:
Menlo: Oh? Then why were you heading so quick towards “Cardie” space?
CNS_LtCmdr_Rand says:
*CO*: Counselor Rand to Captain Yo'Ghi.
CO_Capt_Yo`Ghi says:
CTO: What about the passengers, nothing special about them?
Host Capt_Menlo says:
XO:  Sure. Stick around long enough, you might even see one, though I bet you wouldn’t. You're a Federation ship.
CO_Capt_Yo`Ghi says:
*CNS*: What can I do for you counselor?
CNS_LtCmdr_Rand says:
::pictures leading them to a place to rest, and motions for them to follow them::
XO_Cmdr_Mitchell says:
Menlo: and at the risk of our Captain's suspicious nature, just how many private craft in this part of the quadrant carry unknown types of life forms?
Host Capt_Menlo says:
XO:  Dunno. It's also a big-ass area of space, Commander. ::snorts::
CTO_Cmdr_Ryan says:
CO: I haven't had a chance to check that out yet, Sir. I'm interested in those unidentified life signs our sensors picked up.
CSO_Ens_S`aumo says:
::follows the CNS::
CNS_LtCmdr_Rand says:
*CO*: Captain, our unidentified life forms turn out to be the family that aided Commander Ryan. They were forced off the planet by persons on the ship we followed and were mistreated.
Host Capt_Menlo says:
::shuffles uncomfortably at the comm he hears::
CMO_Cmdr_Turok says:
CNS/CSO: I will tag along if you don't mind.
CNS_LtCmdr_Rand says:
CSO: Please do. ::trying to keep her temper as she thinks of the images they showed her::
CTO_Cmdr_Ryan says:
::Pulls the phaser from her holster and pokes it into Menlo's back:: Menlo: Watch your language.
CO_Capt_Yo`Ghi says:
Menlo: Any explanations for that?
CNS_LtCmdr_Rand says:
*CO*: Captain, he was able to show me images of the men who took them, so we can identify them.
CTO_Cmdr_Ryan says:
Menlo: Where were you taking those people? ::Shoves the phaser harder against his back::
CO_Capt_Yo`Ghi says:
*CNS*: Alright counselor, take them to secure quarters after their medical examination and see to it that they have everything they need
CNS_LtCmdr_Rand says:
*CO*: Yes, sir.
CTO_Cmdr_Ryan says:
CO: Sir, we must return them to their planet.
Host Capt_Menlo says:
CTO:  ::resists the poke::  That won't get you anything, lady. Except more demands from me for my lawyer.
XO_Cmdr_Mitchell says:
::wonders about the apparent nefarious plot that may be rearing its ugly head here::
CTO_Cmdr_Ryan says:
Menlo: Then maybe we should have a little "chat" down in my brig? ::Twists the phaser against his back and grins::
CO_Capt_Yo`Ghi says:
CTO: That will be done in time commander
CTO_Cmdr_Ryan says:
CO: Beggin' your pardon, Sir, but the longer they are on this ship the more exposed they are to our technology.
CNS_LtCmdr_Rand says:
::leads them into guest quarters and trying to give them mental images of the beds for sleeping:: CSO: Would you mind ordering several trays of foods for them. Fruits, vegetables and some simple meat dishes.
Host Capt_Menlo says:
CTO:  You don't scare me. You lay a finger on me and I'll have you swabbing decks on a garbage scow, copper.
CO_Capt_Yo`Ghi says:
CTO: You will take the captain and his crew to confined quarters, disable computer access, and post guards
CTO_Cmdr_Ryan says:
Menlo: Yeah, well, it would be worth it!
CSO_Ens_S`aumo says:
::nods:: CNS: Yes Ma'am. ::heads to the replicator::
Host Capt_Menlo says:
CTO:  ::snorts::  Sure, sure.
CTO_Cmdr_Ryan says:
CO: He belongs in my brig, Sir.
CNS_LtCmdr_Rand says:
::mentally shows the guests how to get water and also tries to find out any needs they may have::
CTO_Cmdr_Ryan says:
::Grips Menlo on the shoulder, spinning him around:: Menlo: Move... NOW!
CNS_LtCmdr_Rand says:
CSO: I hope we can take them home soon or that we can find a place like home to take them to so that they'll be safe.
Host Capt_Menlo says:
::stumbles::  CTO:  I'm moving, I'm moving... don't get your panties in a knot...
XO_Cmdr_Mitchell says:
::wonders which is worse, insubordinate officers or arrogant prisoners::
CO_Capt_Yo`Ghi says:
:: wait for the CTO to walk out with the prisoner ::
CSO_Ens_S`aumo says:
::gets the trays and sets them down on a nearby table:: CNS: Yeah.
CO_Capt_Yo`Ghi says:
XO: Commander, I wish to have a word with you
CTO_Cmdr_Ryan says:
::Exits the Ready Room, phaser in hand:: Menlo: Turbolift, NOW! ::Shoves him along towards the turbolift::
XO_Cmdr_Mitchell says:
CO: Aye Skipper..... And I you, I think.
Host Capt_Menlo says:
::stumbles again::  CTO:  You know, this would actually go faster without the shoving... ::chuckles::
XO_Cmdr_Mitchell says:
CO: Are you sure our "guest" and his crew are safe with Ryan, Sir?
CO_Capt_Yo`Ghi says:
XO: And is it just me or is Commander Ryan being quite aggressive here?
CTO_Cmdr_Ryan says:
::Shoves Menlo into the turbolift then follows:: TL: Guest quarters! ::Looks at Menlo:: Menlo: Where were you taking those people??
XO_Cmdr_Mitchell says:
CO: Seems we both have the same basic question about her.
CO_Capt_Yo`Ghi says:
XO: I agree. Are you confirming we should have Ryan stay away from them?
CNS_LtCmdr_Rand says:
::gives them mental images of herself and the others leaving, but that she will return soon... reinforcing images of their safety::
CO_Capt_Yo`Ghi says:
XO: I guess a counseling session would be in order
Host Capt_Menlo says:
CTO: They were going on a pleasure cruise. Lawyer. No more questions.
XO_Cmdr_Mitchell says:
CO: They're probably safer "not" in the Brig at this point, but I have to agree with you Sir, it seems like her level of aggressiveness has spiraled up and up lately.
CTO_Cmdr_Ryan says:
Menlo: I won't call a lawyer for you. You can rot in my brig for all I care! TL: Redirect! Brig!
XO_Cmdr_Mitchell says:
CO: And all this over these primitives hasn't helped her deal with anything at all
XO_Cmdr_Mitchell says:
CO: But which do you want to deal with first Sir, her, the primitives, or this so-called Captain Menlo?
Host Capt_Menlo says:
::attempts to hit the emergency stop button and comm links at the same time::  *ALL*:  Help! I'm being mistreated and kidnapped!
CNS_LtCmdr_Rand says:
CSO: Thank you for your help ::smiles:: 
CTO_Cmdr_Ryan says:
::Fires phaser::
CSO_Ens_S`aumo says:
CNS: Oh, no problem. I like to help out.
CO_Capt_Yo`Ghi says:
XO: Captain Menlo will be the problem of the court system of the Federation, we will gather every bit of evidence we can and them transfer him
Host Capt_Menlo says:
ACTION:  Captain Menlo falls to the ground stunned...
CO_Capt_Yo`Ghi says:
XO: The natives will be transported back to their place unless they want otherwise, but we will have to find out why they were taken so we can prevent a second kidnapping
CO_Capt_Yo`Ghi says:
XO: Commander Ryan, we can deal with her right away
CTO_Cmdr_Ryan says:
::Arrives at the brig level and grips Menlo by his feet and drags him out of the turbolift into the brig. Drags him into one of the cells and leaves him laying on the floor. Walks out and sets the force field::
XO_Cmdr_Mitchell says:
CO: But even if we do that, what's to keep others from doing the same thing. We can't be there all the time to ensure their safety and seclusion.
CNS_LtCmdr_Rand says:
CSO: I think we're ok to return to the bridge. I want to check on the other survivors of that ship to see if I can identify the ones that did this.  
CNS_LtCmdr_Rand says:
Man:  We're going to talk to our friends, and one of us comes back here soon.
CTO_Cmdr_Ryan says:
::Looks at the lump of Menlo on the cell floor:: Menlo: Enjoy your guest accommodations!  ::Taps her combadge:: *CO/XO*: Ryan to Captain Yo`Ghi.
CSO_Ens_S`aumo says:
::nods:: CNS: Alright. I don't know why anyone would try to hurt them, they don't seem that bad.
CO_Capt_Yo`Ghi says:
XO: There is hope we can find the ship computer core from the debris out there. That could give us a lead to who is sponsoring this kidnapping
XO_Cmdr_Mitchell says:
CO: I'll see to that Sir. And it'll give our Science Chief something to do.
CO_Capt_Yo`Ghi says:
XO: If not, we will have to think about a plan
CNS_LtCmdr_Rand says:
CSO: No they don't.  Just very different.  
CTO_Cmdr_Ryan says:
*CO/XO*: Ryan to Captain Yo`Ghi.
XO_Cmdr_Mitchell says:
CO: Why do I think this is going to be trouble Sir?
CO_Capt_Yo`Ghi says:
*CTO*: Yes Commander?
CO_Capt_Yo`Ghi says:
XO: Because it always is
XO_Cmdr_Mitchell says:
::shakes his head::
CTO_Cmdr_Ryan says:
*CO*: Sir, Menlo tried to escape. I stunned him and took him to "my" guest quarters.
CNS_LtCmdr_Rand says:
::exits the guest quarters with S'aumo:: CSO: It would be fascinating to be able to study this family in their own surroundings. I just hope there lives haven't been too disrupted or contaminated by this incident.
CSO_Ens_S`aumo says:
::nods:: CNS: Uh huh.
CO_Capt_Yo`Ghi says:
*CTO*: Commander, you take him to guest quarters, post guards and have the medical crew examine him then report to Commander Mitchell
CTO_Cmdr_Ryan says:
*CO*: Very well, Sir. Ryan, out.
CNS_LtCmdr_Rand says:
CSO: Have you ever wondered what it would be like to live such a simple basic life? No technology, no major advances.
CTO_Cmdr_Ryan says:
::Deactivates the force field. Enters the cell, grabs Menlo's feet, and drags him out of the cell and out of the brig towards the turbolift. Enters the turbolift, dragging Menlo's lumpy body with her. Drops his feet:: TL: Guest quarters.
CSO_Ens_S`aumo says:
::tilts her head:: CNS: Umm... I guess. I might miss stuff after a while.
XO_Cmdr_Mitchell says:
CO: Gee thanks Sir, was hoping you'd let me deal with Menlo and you Ryan.....
CNS_LtCmdr_Rand says:
CSO: True, especially with what we're used to
XO_Cmdr_Mitchell says:
::manages a weak grin::
CO_Capt_Yo`Ghi says:
XO: You will schedule a meeting for Ryan with the Counselor Rand. Tell the counselor why we want this meeting. If Commander Ryan makes trouble you tell her she is dismissed from duty until she does meet the Counselor
CTO_Cmdr_Ryan says:
::Drags Menlo out of the turbolift and across the corridor to quest quarters. Enters her security code into the pad and then drags Menlo into the quarters over to the bed. Drops his feet. Grips the mattress and pulls it off of the bed. Picks up Menlo under his arms and slides him onto the bed frame::
CSO_Ens_S`aumo says:
CNS: I guess there's always the Holodeck though.... what did they call it at the Academy... camping?
CNS_LtCmdr_Rand says:
::enters a turbolift lift:: Computer: Bridge
CNS_LtCmdr_Rand says:
CSO: Possible, it could be like camping.
XO_Cmdr_Mitchell says:
CO: Oh, I figured that much out Sir. I'll take care of it once I make sure Menlo is safely tucked away.
CTO_Cmdr_Ryan says:
::Puts her hands on her hips as she surveys her work:: Menlo: Enjoy your sleep! ::Drags the mattress out of the quarters as she leaves::
CO_Capt_Yo`Ghi says:
XO: Alright, make sure that the security staff is less aggressive than our Chief
XO_Cmdr_Mitchell says:
CO: Captain, with your permission......
CO_Capt_Yo`Ghi says:
XO: Please do
CTO_Cmdr_Ryan says:
::Taps combadge:: *CMO*: Ryan to Sickbay. Send a medical team to quest quarters13 Alpha.
CMO_Cmdr_Turok says:
*CTO*: Aye right away.
CTO_Cmdr_Ryan says:
::Taps COM badge again:: *Security*: Ryan to security. I want a security team stationed outside guest quarters 13 Alpha on the double.
CNS_LtCmdr_Rand says:
::steps off the lift onto the bridge... starts toward the ready room::  CSO: Do you want to join me when I go back down to check on our guests?  
CTO_Cmdr_Ryan says:
<Security> *CTO*: Right away, Commander.
XO_Cmdr_Mitchell says:
*CSO*: Ensign S'aumo, we need for you to do what is necessary to get as much information from that private shuttle as you can. Beam the debris to Cargo Hold 4.
XO_Cmdr_Mitchell says:
*CTO*: Commander, my office, on the double
CSO_Ens_S`aumo says:
CNS: I'd like too. *XO* Yes sir. Right on it, Sir.
XO_Cmdr_Mitchell says:
*CEO*: Ensign ShinJi - assist Ensign S'aumo with the shuttle debris.
