Federation lampoon's Galactic Vacation

"Out of the Frying Pan..."

Host Gerry says:
Previously on DS102:

The away team has departed the Scorpius in a borrowed shuttle and is about to enter Cardassian space. The CTO has remained on the Scorpius.

So now what? Let's find out!

SC_Capt_Marek says:
::checking the sensor logs::
CO_Capt_Yo`Ghi says:
:: sitting in the back of the shuttle ::
Host XO_Cmdr_Mitchell says:
FCO: Okay Ensign, remember, don't do such a great job of navigating here... make your way to the DMZ, but do it like you've less than a full clue of how to do it, Okay?
CNS_LtCmdr_Rand says:
::fidgets with the strange clothing trying to find a comfortable position::
Host XO_Cmdr_Mitchell says:
::wonders if the eye patch would look better on the other side and shifts it::
FCO_Ens_R`aumo says:
XO: Yes, sir. I'll try to be less awesome.
CSO_Ens_S`aumo says:
::stifles a giggle::
CNS_LtCmdr_Rand says:
::takes a deep breath and releases it as she studies the emotions of those around her::
CMO_Cmdr_Turok says:
::Checking his equipment again::
SC_Capt_Marek says:
CNS: Anything worries you, Commander?
CNS_LtCmdr_Rand says:
SC: Not at the moment, Commander, just trying to get a feel how everyone is doing.
CNS_LtCmdr_Rand says:
SC: I must admit, it isn't often that I serve as bait, but it isn't the first time.
Host XO_Cmdr_Mitchell says:
FCO: How about a rough ETA to the DMZ?
SC_Capt_Marek says:
CNS: ::raises an eyebrow:: well, let's say we are all a little... ::smirks:: unbalanced for volunteering for such type of mission.
FCO_Ens_R`aumo says:
XO: Uhm... Now? ::Sheepish smile.::
CMO_Cmdr_Turok says:
::Returns to his seat in the shuttle::
FCO_Ens_R`aumo says:
XO: We're just crossing the border, sir.
Host XO_Cmdr_Mitchell says:
::looks at his screen and realizes he hadn't realized how close they were already:: FCO: So we are.
Host XO_Cmdr_Mitchell says:
ALL: Okay, everyone, look sharp. Sensor readings on those Cardassian ships?
FCO_Ens_R`aumo says:
XO: Am I still being too awesome, Sir? ::Wink::
CSO_Ens_S`aumo says:
::adjusts her head scarf::
SC_Capt_Marek says:
XO: Nothing new, Commander. They maintain their position, I guess they are still waiting for the slave traders to arrive.
Host XO_Cmdr_Mitchell says:
::thinks about applying stiff pressure with hand to the back of the young Ensign's head, then reconsiders it::
Host XO_Cmdr_Mitchell says:
SC: Well, considering we're supposed to be them, you'd think they'd at least spread out the red carpet for us, wouldn't you?
CMO_Cmdr_Turok says:
::Sits and checks his D'k tahg for its readiness::
SC_Capt_Marek says:
XO: Well, I think we should make them notice we are here. Cardassians are not know for being attach to protocol.
CNS_LtCmdr_Rand says:
::rests her chin on her wrists, thinks about the family that she and the other telepaths are portraying::
Host Gerry says:
ACTION:  A Galor-class warship is detected on sensors and is moving to intercept...
SC_Capt_Marek says:
XO: Sir, one of the ships is changing course to intercept us.
SC_Capt_Marek says:
XO: Should we hail them?
CSO_Ens_S`aumo says:
::blinks and perks her ears, leaning forward in her seat.::
FCO_Ens_R`aumo says:
::Looks to the XO, preparing to adjust course as sloppily as he can manage.::
CNS_LtCmdr_Rand says:
::lifts her eyes and watches the backs of the pilot and Exec::
Host XO_Cmdr_Mitchell says:
ALL: Okay, change course and speed to intercept
Host XO_Cmdr_Mitchell says:
::Looks at both Captains to try and decide which one looks more like a scallywag::
Host XO_Cmdr_Mitchell says:
CO: Captain, time to contact them and see if they're interested in our cargo
CNS_LtCmdr_Rand says:
::focuses her thoughts on the approaching ship, hoping to get a feel for them::
CO_Capt_Yo`Ghi says:
XO: Commander, on this mission you play the Captain, you are human and have spent the most time with the "original" this is your game
FCO_Ens_R`aumo says:
::Adjusts the course.::
Host XO_Cmdr_Mitchell says:
SC: Captain, please monitor both ships and let me know the minute the second one changes course and speed
SC_Capt_Marek says:
XO: Aye, sir.
SC_Capt_Marek says:
CO: ::nods at the CO remark::
Host XO_Cmdr_Mitchell says:
FCO: Okay, we should be well within their weapons perimeter now, look smart
FCO_Ens_R`aumo says:
XO: Aye, sir. Looking smart is the easy part.
Host Gerry says:
ACTION:  The lead ship has entered weapons range, has powered weapons and is hailing...
Host XO_Cmdr_Mitchell says:
::gives serious rethought to the head slap::
SC_Capt_Marek says:
XO: Sir, they have brought their weapons systems on line.
CMO_Cmdr_Turok says:
Self: Into the breach once more.
CO_Capt_Yo`Ghi says:
ALL: From now on no ranks except captain for Mitchell
Host XO_Cmdr_Mitchell says:
ALL: Bring our shields on line, keep weapons on standby
SC_Capt_Marek says:
XO: Aye. ::set the weapons to stand by mode::
CNS_LtCmdr_Rand says:
CO:  That's easy for the three of us; we're not supposed to be able to speak anyway.
CNS_LtCmdr_Rand says:
All:  I'm sensing excitement from the other ship. Almost like they are trying to control their emotions.
Host Gerry says:
ACTION:  The Cardassians fire a shot across the bow of the shuttle
SC_Capt_Marek says:
XO: Open a comm channel now... ::sees the warning fire:: Isn't that the universal salute?
Host XO_Cmdr_Mitchell says:
FCO: Okay, I can take a hint.... All stop
FCO_Ens_R`aumo says:
FCO: Gah!
FCO_Ens_R`aumo says:
::Stops the shuttle.::
CNS_LtCmdr_Rand says:
::nibbles on the inside of her lip, as she focuses on returning to being in character::
CSO_Ens_S`aumo says:
::hangs on to her chair::
Host Gerry says:
ACTION:  The second ship moves in to block the apparent path of the shuttle
Host XO_Cmdr_Mitchell says:
SC: Open a channel for Yo'Ghi
SC_Capt_Marek says:
XO: Channel is open... again..
Host XO_Cmdr_Mitchell says:
FCO: Okay, they're wedging us, so start thinking of an escape route and hold it in reserve
SC_Capt_Marek says:
XO: Sir the second ship is moving, she is directly ahead of the first ship now.
FCO_Ens_R`aumo says:
XO: Already on it, sir. ::Plotting.::
Host XO_Cmdr_Mitchell says:
SC: Yep, saw that too.... we'll see if our FCO here can figure out how to get out of the box if we need to
CNS_LtCmdr_Rand says:
::wonders what the excitement she's sensing stems from::
CO_Capt_Yo`Ghi says:
COM: Ship: Trade ship to Cardassian Starship, please respond
Host Gul_Evek says:
ACTION:  The face of Gul Evek appears on the viewer.
Host Gul_Evek says:
@COM: Shuttle:  I am Gul Evek of the Cardassian government. Lower your shields and prepare to be boarded.
Host XO_Cmdr_Mitchell says:
::looks over to Yo'ghi :: CO: we don't have a lot of room here.....
CO_Capt_Yo`Ghi says:
COM: Ship: Gul Evek, I believe negotiations for our transaction would be better if they were taken on your side
Host Gul_Evek says:
@COM: XO: Then prepare to have yourselves beamed over here. You have 30 seconds to comply.
Host Gul_Evek says:
@COM:  CO:  Lower your shields. You now have 10 seconds.
CNS_LtCmdr_Rand says:
::reminds the other telepaths to maintain silence and to pretend to be afraid::
Host XO_Cmdr_Mitchell says:
CO: Your show now Sir,
FCO_Ens_R`aumo says:
::Makes sure the ship doesn't float randomly into space.::
CO_Capt_Yo`Ghi says:
SC: Lower the shields
SC_Capt_Marek says:
SC: Aye. Shields are down.
