Deep Space 102 - 10909.11

Federation lampoon's Galactic Vacation

"Some Shore Leave this turned out to be..."

Host Gerry says:
The Away Mission encountered a little problem in the form of two Galor-Class Cardassian warships intent on capturing slave traders, and after a few tense moments, that was cleared up.

The crew on the shuttle has contacted the Scorpius and told them of their meeting and their plan, and has departed the Cardassian ship they were on. They are continuing into Cardassian territory armed with all the information Gul Evek could supply them.

We join the crew as they are approaching what they had known as their destination from the old ship they intercepted previously.

So what happens now? It's up to the crew... Let's find out.

Host XO_Cmdr_Mitchell says:
::turns to the Captain:: CO: Okay Sir, now what?
SC_Capt_Marek says:
::joins the CO on the shuttle::
CNS_LtCmdr_Rand says:
::back in the cargo hold with L'va and Taray, waiting and wondering if the real slave traders will take the bait::
FCO_Ens_R`aumo says:
::Behind the wheel, wondering what will happen next.::
CO_Capt_Yo`Ghi says:
XO: We wait, but we also scan the surroundings for incoming or hiding ships
Host XO_Cmdr_Mitchell says:
::turns to the FCO::  FCO: I guess we wait, Ensign.
FCO_Ens_R`aumo says:
XO: What are we waiting for, sir?
Host XO_Cmdr_Mitchell says:
::looks to the other crewmembers:: All: Sensor reports on anything?????
SC_Capt_Marek says:
XO/CO: I have a suggestion. How about coordinating our action with the Cardassian in order to continue our masquerade to see if we get to the bottom of this?
CNS_LtCmdr_Rand says:
::closes her eyes and concentrates on the area around them::
Host XO_Cmdr_Mitchell says:
CO: Sir, did the Gul even hint at mutual cooperation on this hunt?
CO_Capt_Yo`Ghi says:
SC: The Cardassians are still looking for the head of the operation, but we can't risk being in contact with them like we can't risk contacting the Scorpius
CO_Capt_Yo`Ghi says:
SC: We just have two more ships available if we need muscles to arrests anyone
SC_Capt_Marek says:
CO: Understood, Captain.
SC_Capt_Marek says:
::goes back to his sensors reports::
Host XO_Cmdr_Mitchell says:
All: Okay, so do we even show anything suspicious on long OR short range sensors?
SC_Capt_Marek says:
XO: So far nothing out of the ordinary, Commander.
Host XO_Cmdr_Mitchell says:
SC: Nothing?
CO_Capt_Yo`Ghi says:
XO: We have to consider that they won't be coming
Host XO_Cmdr_Mitchell says:
CO: Then that certainly would be a good waste of R&R time, Sir.
SC_Capt_Marek says:
CO: I am afraid so, Captain. The two Cardassian ships are holding their course, getting far from our position. A couple of minutes at warp 8 as we speak, Sir.
CO_Capt_Yo`Ghi says:
XO/SC: How about sending out a short message stating that we are here and waiting.... maybe they would reply?
Host XO_Cmdr_Mitchell says:
CO/SC: Hmm, I suppose we could, but, wouldn't that potentially cause more of a response than we may intend?
CO_Capt_Yo`Ghi says:
XO: It is risky. I'd hate to have done all this for nothing
Host XO_Cmdr_Mitchell says:
FCO: Ensign, put us on a spiral course away from here, half impulse.......
FCO_Ens_R`aumo says:
XO: Aye, sir. ::Plots in a course.::
Host XO_Cmdr_Mitchell says:
CO: I agree Sir, but let's give it a bit of time, and by putting us in motion, maybe somebody watching from a greater distance will take notice?
SC_Capt_Marek says:
FCO: By the way, Ensign, remember, this is not a regular ship... so please do not be so enthusiastic on your piloting...
CO_Capt_Yo`Ghi says:
XO: Agree, Make it so
FCO_Ens_R`aumo says:
SC: Enthusiastic, sir? I just fly 'em the way they wanna be flown.
Host XO_Cmdr_Mitchell says:
CO: Done....
SC_Capt_Marek says:
::raises an eyebrow to the FCO then continue checking the sensors logs::
FCO_Ens_R`aumo says:
XO: Sir, isn't there a way to send a directional message?
CNS_LtCmdr_Rand says:
::leans back to relieve the tension and relax::
Host XO_Cmdr_Mitchell says:
FCO: Ensign, you're absolutely right......  if we were to broadcast a direction tachyon beam, it would possibly work better than a wide cast, omni directional beam....... Make it so Ensign.
FCO_Ens_R`aumo says:
XO: Uh, aye sir. What should I tell them? That we're waiting?
Host XO_Cmdr_Mitchell says:
FCO: Combined with this spiral course, it would have the effect of covering a wide range without necessarily drawing undo attention.
Host XO_Cmdr_Mitchell says:
FCO: Yes, make it vague, like simply "We are waiting." That'd be about perfect... Good thinking Ensign!
FCO_Ens_R`aumo says:
XO: Aye, sir. ::Programs the message into the computer and waits for the correct time to send it out.::
Host Gerry says:
ACTION:  A shuttle approaches from the other side of the planet in a lazy arc across the terminator
SC_Capt_Marek says:
All: A shuttle has entered in sensor ranges, coming from the other side of the planet.
CNS_LtCmdr_Rand says:
::turns her attention to the front as she hears the update about the shuttle::
Host XO_Cmdr_Mitchell says:
SC: As much information as fast as you can glean it Sir.......
SC_Capt_Marek says:
XO: Working on that right now, Commander
Host XO_Cmdr_Mitchell says:
FCO: All stop.
FCO_Ens_R`aumo says:
XO: All stop, aye, sir. ::Halts the ship quickly but smoothly..::
FCO_Ens_R`aumo says:
::Keeping track of escape routes on his console in case they're needed.::
SC_Capt_Marek says:
All: Sensors can pick up 4 bio signals, all Cardassian, the shuttle was warp capability, and their shield and weapons systems are offline.
Host XO_Cmdr_Mitchell says:
SC: Hail them Sir.
SC_Capt_Marek says:
XO: Right away, Commander. Opening hailing frequencies now. ::taps on the console::
