Deep Space 102 - 10909.18

Federation Lampoon's Galactic Vacation

"The Deal Makers"

Host Gerry says:
Previously on DS-102:

After waiting in orbit around a planet for nearly an hour with no action, a ship has come over the horizon of the planet and has opened hailing frequency.

Sensors have detected four people on board, all Cardassian.

What is going to happen? Let's find out!

Host Gerry says:
@COM: Shuttle: It's about time. Why are you 48 hours late?
SC_Capt_Marek says:
:thinks “Hmmm, is this who we are looking for?” ::
SC_Capt_Marek says:
::monitors the comm::
XO_Cmdr_Mitchell says:
::looks at the Captain and hopes he has a convincing argument prepared for these slavers::
CNS_LtCmdr_Rand says:
::looks up the slightly, then nods to L'va and Taray::
CSO_Ens_S`aumo says:
:does her best to look like a mean slaver::
CO_Capt_Yo`Ghi says:
COM: Shuttle: Hey, keep your pants on, there was more activity near Wonderspace than expected, we had to take more precautions
Host Gerry says:
@COM: Shuttle: CO:  Yeah, like what? Too many tourist families steal all the parking spaces? What have you got for me?
CNS_LtCmdr_Rand says:
::sees L'va tense and places a hand on her shoulder:: L'va: ~~~~We'll be okay.~~~~
CNS_LtCmdr_Rand says:
<L'va> ::nods::
CO_Capt_Yo`Ghi says:
COM: Shuttle: Yeah, tourists, of the kind in uniforms of Starfleet
SC_Capt_Marek says:
::hears the CO::
CO_Capt_Yo`Ghi says:
COM: Shuttle: But we have passengers for you
Host Gerry says:
@COM: Shuttle: CO:  Starfleet? Have you been followed? What ship?
CO_Capt_Yo`Ghi says:
COM: Shuttle: Calm down, we checked and they were on shore leave, something they were scheduled for since a while
CO_Capt_Yo`Ghi says:
COM: Shuttle: They are still having fun at Wonderspace
Host Gerry says:
@COM: Shuttle: CO:  If you're sure, then. We need to land on the planet at the coordinates I'm relaying now. I've been in this damn ship too long. ::transmits coordinates::
SC_Capt_Marek says:
::whispers:: XO: I will check the coordinates on the sensors
CO_Capt_Yo`Ghi says:
COM: Shuttle: Coordinates received, we are proceeding.
CO_Capt_Yo`Ghi says:
SC: Terminate communications
SC_Capt_Marek says:
CO: Aye sir. ::taps the console::
CNS_LtCmdr_Rand says:
::closes her eyes and concentrates on the other ship, trying to get a feel for what they may be facing::
SC_Capt_Marek says:
CO: Comm terminated. Now we can speak freely again.
Host Gerry says:
ACTION:  The Cardassian shuttle veers off at a slight angle and makes for the coordinates...
CSO_Ens_S`aumo says:
FCO: This is weird.
SC_Capt_Marek says:
::focuses the sensor on the coordinates area::
CO_Capt_Yo`Ghi says:
FCO: Follow the coordinates
FCO_Ens_R`aumo says:
CSO: Don't worry.
FCO_Ens_R`aumo says:
CO: Aye, Sir.
FCO_Ens_R`aumo says:
::Sets a course.::
SC_Capt_Marek says:
CO/XO: We should proceed very carefully now.
SC_Capt_Marek says:
CO/XO: Nothing out of the ordinary on that area, Sirs. Sensors detected a large deserted area, with enough space for two shuttles to land there.
CO_Capt_Yo`Ghi says:
SC/XO: Yes we should
XO_Cmdr_Mitchell says:
SC: Acknowledged. I agree.
CO_Capt_Yo`Ghi says:
SC: Any possibility for them to have hidden some surprises for us down there?
SC_Capt_Marek says:
CO: No sir, but with Cardassians you can never take anything for granted.
CO_Capt_Yo`Ghi says:
FCO: ETA?
CNS_LtCmdr_Rand says:
::wraps her arms around her legs and waits for the shuttle to touch down::
CSO_Ens_S`aumo says:
::gets up and goes to sit down next to the CNS::
FCO_Ens_R`aumo says:
CO: Approximately three minutes, sir.
CNS_LtCmdr_Rand says:
::talks softly:: CSO: We should have some answers soon. Maybe we'll find just how deep their greed goes.
CSO_Ens_S`aumo says:
::nods::
CO_Capt_Yo`Ghi says:
ALL: Prepare for landing
CNS_LtCmdr_Rand says:
::stretches slightly:: CSO: Are you to be our guard when we make contact?
CO_Capt_Yo`Ghi says:
ALL: no aggressive attitudes but be ready to use your phasers
FCO_Ens_R`aumo says:
::Prepares his phaser and puts it back in its holster.::
SC_Capt_Marek says:
FCO: Careful with landing this piece of museum, Ensign...
FCO_Ens_R`aumo says:
SC: Always, sir.
CSO_Ens_S`aumo says:
CNS: Not sure yet.
CNS_LtCmdr_Rand says:
::nods::
Host Gerry says:
ACTION:  The door on the other shuttle opens and four Cardassian men come out stretching themselves...
FCO_Ens_R`aumo says:
::Turns to look back.::
SC_Capt_Marek says:
All: Here we go... ::checks his phaser and hides in his waist::
CO_Capt_Yo`Ghi says:
:: wait for the shuttle to land and the door to open to get out ::
XO_Cmdr_Mitchell says:
::checks and hides his phaser::
CNS_LtCmdr_Rand says:
::waits with L'va & Taray for their cue::
CO_Capt_Yo`Ghi says:
CNS: Counselor, if you are not feeling safe you can put an end to this whenever you want
Host Gerry says:
ACTION:  The four Cardassians look bored but glad to be out of the shuttle...
CNS_LtCmdr_Rand says:
::nods:: CO: Understood, Captain. Right now, the main thing I sense from these men is greed. I don't they'll be eager to damage their new cargo.
SC_Capt_Marek says:
::overhears the CNS: CNS: But what about the cargo holders? Can you sense any hostility towards us?
CNS_LtCmdr_Rand says:
SC: No, I'm not sensing hostility. They're looking at this simply as a business venture.  
SC_Capt_Marek says:
CNS: Very well. ::nods::
FCO_Ens_R`aumo says:
All: We're goin' in. ::Begins landing procedures.::
Host Gerry says:
ACTION:  The shuttle lands beside the Cardassian shuttle...
SC_Capt_Marek says:
::grabs hold from his chair::
CO_Capt_Yo`Ghi says:
XO: You can open the door when you are ready
XO_Cmdr_Mitchell says:
CO: Aye Captain. ::gets up and activates door mechanism and watches it open::
CNS_LtCmdr_Rand says:
SC: We're ready
SC_Capt_Marek says:
CNS: ::nods at the CNS and waits for the XO order::
CO_Capt_Yo`Ghi says:
:: walk out of the shuttle::
Host Gerry says:
ACTION:  The four Cardassians turn to face the opening door...
FCO_Ens_R`aumo says:
::Gets out of his seat.:: Self: Let the fun begin...
XO_Cmdr_Mitchell says:
::follows the leader::
SC_Capt_Marek says:
::exist the shuttle after the CO::
CSO_Ens_S`aumo says:
::gulps::
CNS_LtCmdr_Rand says:
::waits with L'va and Taray, until they're signaled for::
Host Gul_Macet says:
ALL:  Took you long enough. What have we got today?
CO_Capt_Yo`Ghi says:
Gul: Well today we have the Wonderspace special...
Host Gul_Macet says:
CO:  Oh? What's that? ::smirks::
CO_Capt_Yo`Ghi says:
:: shows the Gul the counselor and her friends in the back of the shuttle ::
CSO_Ens_S`aumo says:
::does her best to look tough::
Host Gul_Macet says:
CO:  ::smirks::  Good thing, too. I wondered what was going on when you didn't show up. You're missing one... problem with procurement?
CNS_LtCmdr_Rand says:
::thinks about how the Wonderspace family acted and keeps her head down, not making eye contact, but watching from the corner of her eye::
SC_Capt_Marek says:
::suddenly he realizes he is playing to be a pirate, like he used to do in his childhood, the only difference this time a mistake could be fatal::
CO_Capt_Yo`Ghi says:
Gul: Little thing escaped us, and with no transporter lock we had the option of leave it or spend days searching for it in the caves
CNS_LtCmdr_Rand says:
::keeps still, studying the Cardassian looking at them::
XO_Cmdr_Mitchell says:
::quietly moves into a somewhat more strategic location::
CSO_Ens_S`aumo says:
::hopes this doesn't get ugly::
Host Gul_Macet says:
CO:  Yeah, bugger those rocks anyway. Where's Kalen this trip? Find a whore to hole up with? ::laughs::
CO_Capt_Yo`Ghi says:
Gul: I only know what I was told to do, a pickup and a delivery on Cardassian side
CO_Capt_Yo`Ghi says:
Gul: but what are you folks are going to do with these? They are not even good for forced labor!
Host Gul_Macet says:
CO:  You're all business, aren't you? Well, come on, I've got your latinum. Bring the merchandise...
Host Gul_Macet says:
CO: They have their uses. Ever wonder why they don't talk? They can't as near as we can tell.  But they can read minds. Useful at a negotiating table, for example.
Host Gul_Macet says:
::dumps bag of Latinum on the ground::  CO:  There you go.
Host Gul_Macet says:
ACTION:  A Transporter whine is heard and the four Cardassians disappear in transporter effects...
CSO_Ens_S`aumo says:
::blinks:: Self: Huh?
CO_Capt_Yo`Ghi says:
Gul: My colleague here will look at the bag first
CO_Capt_Yo`Ghi says:
SC: Make sure everything is in there
CNS_LtCmdr_Rand says:
::looks round at the others not sure what is going on::
XO_Cmdr_Mitchell says:
All: Hmm, they left without their merchandise?
