<RECAP>

Host AGMKevin says:
Last week we found our heroic crew being interrogated by Starfleet Intelligence. Meanwhile our jailed captain seems to have been kidnapped by Romulans... what will happen next?

Host AGMKevin says:
<Resume Mission>

FCO_Ens_Adam_More says:
::Heads to the bridge.::

FCO_Ens_Adam_More says:
TL: Bridge.

CSO_LtJG_Kalla says:
::Facing Starfleet Intelligence officer Cleo Jones.::

SFI_Cleo_Jones says:
CSO: You may take a seat.

CSO_LtJG_Kalla says:
::Sits down.::

CTO_LtJg_Furlong says:
::Returns to the Scimitar and heads for sickbay.::

ACO_CDR_Andersen says:
::Walks over to Bandra.:: Bandra: You got here in a hurry...

CNS_Ens_Adon says:
TL: Sickbay.

FCO_Ens_Adam_More says:
::Enters bridge and sees no senior staff at their stations.::

SFI_Cleo_Jones says:
CSO: Please explain to me about the solution of your little time problem. ::Smiles un-sweetly.::

FCO_Ens_Adam_More says:
::Sits down in the helm chair.::

Host AGMKevin says:
<Bandra> ACO: Yes... and so did you.

Host CO_Cpt_Ian-Bandra says:
@::Starting to wake up from the drug.::

ACO_CDR_Andersen says:
Bandra: I was going to brief the Captain on a discovery we made in the Jefferies tubes...and I found the counselor passed out. Do you have any ideas who could have done this? I know I do...

CSO_LtJG_Kalla says:
Jones: Problem? Are you referring to our time transport at Aiseno IV?

SFI_Cleo_Jones says:
CSO: I am indeed. You have devised a way to return to your time, have you not?

Host AGMKevin says:
<Bandra> ACO: I do. ::Pauses.:: A Romulan ship just left at high speed, it refused to respond to hails so I sent security down here... too late it seems.

CNS_Ens_Adon says:
::Sees CMO:: CMO: Hello. I thought I should introduce myself. I'm Counselor Meja Adon.

CMO_Sormo says:
::Waiting for someone to come to sickbay.:: CNS: Ah, ah visitor.

CMO_Sormo says:
::Stands up and reaches out a hand.:: CNS: Good to meet you, counselor.

CSO_LtJG_Kalla says:
Jones: It was not my idea.

ACO_CDR_Andersen says:
Bandra: My thoughts exactly.
*Scimitar crew* Crew of the Scimitar, this is the acting captain... Shore leave is hereby suspended. All Scimitar crewmembers report to your duty stations immediately and prepare for departure.

CNS_Ens_Adon says:
::Shakes hands.:: CMO: How have your first few days on the Scimitar been?

SFI_Cleo_Jones says:
CSO: I am listening. ::Sits down and crosses legs casually.::

CTO_LtJg_Furlong says:
::Turns on his heel and heads for the bridge at the double.::

EO_LTJG_EVANS says:
::Returns to the Scimitar a bit distracted and makes his way to main engineering.::

CMO_Sormo says:
CNS: Take a seat counselor, and I'll tell you all about it.

ACO_CDR_Andersen says:
Bandra: If it is the Romulans, we may not have a lot of time. ::Begins to leave, then turns back around.::
I'm guessing, I won't have to persuade you to come along.

CNS_Ens_Adon says:
CMO: Sure, though I'm certain it isn't as interesting as my first day here was. ::Smiles.::

CMO_Sormo says:
CNS: What happened?

FCO_Ens_Adam_More says:
::Gets up and sits in the captain’s chair, waiting for something to happen.::

CTO_LtJg_Furlong says:
::Enters the turbolift.:: TL: Bridge.

CSO_LtJG_Kalla says:
Jones: It was actually Rear Admiral Stanley who came up with the suggestion.

Host AGMKevin says:
<Bandra> ACO: Hardly! ::Starts to follow.::

CNS_Ens_Adon says:
CMO: Well, ::thinks about where to begin:: the CMO and CTO had their bodies switched...

ACO_CDR_Andersen says:
::Heads for the airlock.:: *CSO* Andersen to Kalla... I've recalled the crew from shore leave. Make your apologies to Miss Jones and join me on the bridge ASAP.

CSO_LtJG_Kalla says:
Jones: FCO Adam More plotted our course into one of the beams... ::Hears commbadge.:: ...excuse me...

EO_LTJG_EVANS says:
::Enters main engineering and sighs, starts to reorganize his workstation, almost oblivious to what is going on around him.::

SFI_Cleo_Jones says:
CSO: As a Vulcan science officer you are certainly familiar with it. Care to tell me the specifics?

CSO_LtJG_Kalla says:
*Andersen* Right away sir.

CMO_Sormo says:
CNS: Was this the result of some alien influence?

Host CO_Cpt_Ian-Bandra says:
@::Opens an eye and looks around.::

CSO_LtJG_Kalla says:
Jones: Excuse me. DUTY calls. ::Gets up.::

SFI_Cleo_Jones says:
CSO: Dismissed. ::Frowns.::

CSO_LtJG_Kalla says:
::Walks out the door towards the nearest airlock.::

ACO_CDR_Andersen says:
*FCO* Andersen to More... Ensign, prepare the Scimitar for departure, but wait until our crew complement is aboard. I'll have a course for you by the time I arrive. Andersen out.

CNS_Ens_Adon says:
CMO: I believe so. It was pretty confusing.  What has been happening with you? 

CTO_LtJg_Furlong says:
::Enters the Bridge.:: FCO: Ensign, warm up the engines I think we're about to leave.

SFI_Cleo_Jones says:
*ACO* Commander, this is Jones.

EO_LTJG_EVANS says:
::Checks reports through his PADD::
.
ACO_CDR_Andersen says:
*Jones* Miss Jones, I'm a little busy right now... It'll have to wait until our return.

CSO_LtJG_Kalla says:
::Enters airlock, heads for turbolift.::

SFI_Cleo_Jones says:
*ACO* No, Commander, I don't.

CMO_Sormo says:
CNS: Well, it has been a couple of slow days, a few minor injuries nothing more.

FCO_Ens_Adam_More says:
::Gets out of the chair.:: OK, Terry, let’s do it!

Host CO_Cpt_Ian-Bandra says:
@Self: Where am I?

CSO_LtJG_Kalla says:
*Andersen* Anything I should do on my way, or will I report direct to bridge?

FCO_Ens_Adam_More says:
::Gets into his chair and begins ignition sequence.::

SFI_Cleo_Jones says:
*ACO* I have received orders from Starfleet Intelligence, Commander. I am to accompany you.

CTO_LtJg_Furlong says:
::Takes position at tactical station 1 and runs checks.::

CMO_Sormo says:
CNS: At the moment I'm in for some action.

ACO_CDR_Andersen says:
*Jones* Before you can join us, Miss Jones, I'll have to see those orders, in writing. ::Passes airlock security with Bandra.::

ACO_CDR_Andersen says:
*CSO* Await my arrival, Lieutenant. I'll be briefing the senior staff.

CNS_Ens_Adon says:
CMO: Be careful what you wish for. I was talking to Captain Ian-Bandra and next thing I know I wake up in the infirmary.

SFI_Cleo_Jones says:
*ACO* Very well, Commander. Where do you want to meet me?

CSO_LtJG_Kalla says:
*ACO* Aye sir. ::Takes the turbolift to bridge.::

CMO_Sormo says:
CNS: Well, those are the things that make life interesting.

ACO_CDR_Andersen says:
*Jones* On the bridge of the Scimitar, Deck 1. You'd better hurry. We leave in 10 minutes.

K’Tran says:
@ ::Looks down.:: CO: You're with me.

CSO_LtJG_Kalla says:
::The turbolift arrives, Kalla steps out.::

SFI_Cleo_Jones says:
*ACO* On my way.

SFI_Cleo_Jones says:
::Leaves the room for the transporter room.::

SFI_Cleo_Jones says:
::Arrives in transporter room.::

ACO_CDR_Andersen says:
::Gets into the turbolift.:: Bandra: Bridge...any idea what kind of Romulan ship it could be?

CNS_Ens_Adon says:
CMO: They are. Have you heard anything else about the captain's disappearance?

Host AGMKevin says:
<Bandra> Station Ops: I'll be aboard the Scimitar. Call the XO to the conn, will you?

CSO_LtJG_Kalla says:
::Steps over to Science station one and replaces ensign on duty.::

Host CO_Cpt_Ian-Bandra says:
@::Looks up to see a Romulan.:: K’Tran: Why are you doing this?

CSO_LtJG_Kalla says:
FCO: Any idea what's going on?

SFI_Cleo_Jones says:
<TR operator> Beam me to the Scimitar, Ensign.

CMO_Sormo says:
CNS: No, I haven't, perhaps I should check the brig myself for some clues.

CTO_LtJg_Furlong says:
::Carries out tactical scan.::

K`Tran says:
@ ::Displays a typically wicked smile.:: CO: It seemed the logical thing to do.

SFI_Cleo_Jones says:
::Arrives on the ship, nods pleasantly to the transporter chief.::

CNS_Ens_Adon says:
CMO: Maybe there are some biological clues for you to find. Though station security probably already did that.

CSO_LtJG_Kalla says:
::Starts up all systems ready for take-off.::

SFI_Cleo_Jones says:
::Enters a turbolift.:: TL: Deck 1, bridge.

Host AGMKevin says:
<Bandra> Station Ops: Oh, and have the Romulan representatives taken into custody and held in their quarters.

Host CO_Cpt_Ian-Bandra says:
@::Rolls her eyes at her captor's impression of a Vulcan.::

CMO_Sormo says:
CNS: There is nothing station security can do that SORMO LOMRIDI can't do better! You want to come?

ACO_CDR_Andersen says:
::Arrives on the bridge.:: All: I know this is kind of sudden, but it appears that Captain Ian-Bandra has been abducted by the Romulans. Station Ops is feeding us the last known course of a Romulan vessel that fled the station. Mr. More, program a pursuit course.

FCO_Ens_Adam_More says:
ACO: Yes, sir... Red alert?

SFI_Cleo_Jones says:
::Enters the bridge.::

SFI_Cleo_Jones says:
::Offers a PADD to the ACO.:: ACO: My orders, as requested. ::Smiles thinly.::

FCO_Ens_Adam_More says:
::Plots course.:: ACO: Ready to engage on your command, sir.

Host AGMKevin says:
<Bandra>::Steps onto the bridge behind Andersen, looks around.::

ACO_CDR_Andersen says:
FCO: Not yet...not until we have a definite target.

CTO_LtJg_Furlong says:
::Repeats scans of local space.:: ACO: Can't give you anything yet, stand by.

K`Tran says:
@ CO: You will try to behave yourself in here while I make some course corrections, right? ::No hint of kindness in his eyes.::

CSO_LtJG_Kalla says:
ACO: Any data known about the abductor?

ACO_CDR_Andersen says:
::Looks at Jones' orders.:: Jones: This is all well and good, Miss Jones, but there is no time element listed here. And considering that this abduction may be the end result of Starfleet Intelligence's actions, I'm rather loath to allow any questioning given the circumstances.

Host CO_Cpt_Ian-Bandra says:
@::Thinks about it, would rather be on a Starfleet ship but not sure about wanting to be put in the Romulan brig, bad memories.::

SFI_Cleo_Jones says:
::Smiles cordially.:: ACO: I won't hinder your mission in any way, Commander.

Host AGMKevin says:
<Bandra>ACO: May I see those, please?

CTO_LtJg_Furlong says:
*Security* Send two officers to accompany Jones whilst she is on board.  Make one a female.

Host CO_Cpt_Ian-Bandra says:
@K’Tran: All right, I'll behave.

CNS_Ens_Adon says:
CMO: It feels like we are preparing to leave the station. However, you could run a test on me. No one was able to say what drug was used to knock me out.

CSO_LtJG_Kalla says:
ACO: Have we downloaded all technical and biological information available regarding the abduction?

K`Tran says:
@ ::Absentmindedly fingers his disruptor:: CO: I was sure you would see it my way. ::Walks out and closes the door, entering the lock code.::

ACO_CDR_Andersen says:
::Hands PADD to Bandra.:: CTO: Good move, Lieutenant. Jones: You are not to interfere with this expedition in any way, shape or form. If you do, orders or no orders, it'll get reported to the chief of Starfleet Intelligence himself. Are we clear?

SFI_Cleo_Jones says:
::Looks at the CTO and licks her lips.:: CTO: And good-looking.

CMO_Sormo says:
::Gets medical tricorder.:: CNS: Perhaps we get some action in here, then.

ACO_CDR_Andersen says:
CSO: No data yet, Kalla. But I'm assuming some cloaking technology is in use, since the guards reported no intruders.

CSO_LtJG_Kalla says:
ACO: Understood, sir

SFI_Cleo_Jones says:
::Purrs.:: ACO: Oh, of course, Commander. You won't even notice I'm here... ::Smiles.::

CMO_Sormo says:
::Scanning the CNS.:: Yes, counselor, this is interesting, the tricorder is having difficulty identifying the drug,

FCO_Ens_Adam_More says:
ACO: Engage?

Host AGMKevin says:
<Bandra> ::Looks over  orders, hands padd back to ACO.:: ACO/Jones: If this is cleared up... ACO: Let’s get under way, Commander!

K`Tran says:
@ ::Takes the command seat and plots a zigzag course to bring her inside the Romulan Star Empire’s outer reaches.::

CSO_LtJG_Kalla says:
::Accesses files regarding the cloaking devices mentioned in the court case.::

ACO_CDR_Andersen says:
CTO: Do we have a bearing on the Romulan ship?

CNS_Ens_Adon says:
CMO: Whatever it was took effect within a second.

CMO_Sormo says:
CNS: Nonetheless, I do believe it is a Romulan drug, a very rare one.

Host CO_Cpt_Ian-Bandra says:
@::Sits up on the bed.:: Self: What to do now? He wasn't very helpful in answering my question.

ACO_CDR_Andersen says:
FCO: Begin undocking procedures and confirm when completed.

CTO_LtJg_Furlong says:
ACO: Only vague readings, Sir.  ::Feeds course to FCO and ACO.::

CNS_Ens_Adon says:
::Thinks.:: CMO: I was talking to a Romulan earlier today…

ACO_CDR_Andersen says:
::Walks over to CSO's station.::

FCO_Ens_Adam_More says:
ACO: A vague one. Judging by its speed and heading at last known point.....it would put it on 844520.3 - Romulan space, at maximum warp.

ACO_CDR_Andersen says:
CTO: It's a starting point, at least.

CMO_Sormo says:
CNS: I don't believe many people besides the Romulan Intelligence Agency uses it.

CSO_LtJG_Kalla says:
ACO: Cloaking devices? As in the case against the captain?

CTO_LtJg_Furlong says:
*Station*  Begin release procedures.  Scimitar about to leave port.

ACO_CDR_Andersen says:
CSO: Yes...damn, I'm surprised I didn't think of it before.

CMO_Sormo says:
CNS: It could very well be that the Romulan implemented the drug on you, it has some sort of remote activation.

CSO_LtJG_Kalla says:
ACO: Well, a very unusual thought for Federation personnel.

ACO_CDR_Andersen says:
CTO: Check with the tachyon detection grids along the Neutral Zone to see if our friends have strayed across the border.

SFI_Cleo_Jones says:
::Sits down in the CNS seat.::

CNS_Ens_Adon says:
CMO: The Romulan didn't make any sort of physical contact with me.

FCO_Ens_Adam_More says:
ACO: I have them roughly sir, engage?

CSO_LtJG_Kalla says:
ACO: It seems that again we have proof that once something is invented it stays with us.

CTO_LtJg_Furlong says:
::Access tachyon grid via tactical terminal.::

ACO_CDR_Andersen says:
FCO: Go. Maximum warp.

SFI_Cleo_Jones says:
::Looks around and smiles very slightly.::

FCO_Ens_Adam_More says:
ACO: ::Grins.:: Yes, sir. Engage ::Presses button.::

K`Tran says:
@::Drops out of warp for a moment to change warp vectors.::

CMO_Sormo says:
CNS: You're sure? Not an accidental collision or something similar?

CSO_LtJG_Kalla says:
ACO: Will I make a resume of all known information?

Host CO_Cpt_Ian-Bandra says:
@Self: I wouldn't be surprised if Grandfather is behind this. ::Frowns.:: And to think I forgave him for that childhood incident.

CTO_LtJg_Furlong says:
ACO: Intruder detected by the grid at 1apha210, on course for Romulan space.

ACO_CDR_Andersen says:
CSO: Do it. There's another thing, Lieutenant... we're going to need an acting first officer. Since Mr. Craven is on leave, and you're next senior, I hereby appoint you acting XO with all the rights and responsibilities thereof.

FCO_Ens_Adam_More says:
ACO: Setting course.

CNS_Ens_Adon says:
CMO: Not that I can remember, but I guess it could have been anything.

AXO_LtJG_Kalla says:
ACO: Yes, sir.

FCO_Ens_Adam_More says:
ACO: Red alert?

AXO_LtJG_Kalla says:
ACO: It is unlikely we will need it. The Romulan vessel is 90% sure to want speed more than battle.

ACO_CDR_Andersen says:
FCO: Not yet, Mr. More. If we go charging into Romulan space at red alert, it's not going to look very diplomatic.

K`Tran says:
@ ::Detects a minor power fluctuation and reroutes the power flow to the cloak.::

SFI_Cleo_Jones says:
::Listens intently.::

AXO_LtJG_Kalla says:
ACO: Should we inform Starfleet command?

Host AGMKevin says:
<Bandra> ACO: I'll be in the ready room, Commander. There's a matter to which I have to attend.

ACO_CDR_Andersen says:
Bandra: Aye, sir. ::Sits down in The Chair.::

CMO_Sormo says:
::Continuing the scans.:: CNS: Wait I can detect the place in which the drug entered you're body.

ACO_CDR_Andersen says:
AXO: Inform them of our suspicions and see if there's anything they can do to grease the skids for us.

CNS_Ens_Adon says:
::Sits still during scans.::

AXO_LtJG_Kalla says:
ACO: Aye, sir.

K`Tran says:
@ ::Finds his comm array is damaged and can't transmit all the way to the Romulan Star Empire. Curses in disgust and leaves the cockpit.::

CMO_Sormo says:
CNS: Yes, the drug seems to have entered your body at the back of your neck. This was a precise piece of work, counselor.

SFI_Cleo_Jones says:
::Leans over to the ACO.:: ACO: Commander, I hope you will not leave Federation territory...

Host AGMKevin says:
<Bandra>::Enters ready room and walks to desk, locks out computer security protocols and activates a secure channel to Starfleet.

CMO_Sormo says:
CNS: Whoever did it must have had enough time.

CNS_Ens_Adon says:
CMO: Time and experience. We're dealing with experts here.

EO_LTJG_EVANS says:
::Continues to straighten out engineering.::

SFI_Cleo_Jones says:
::Considers doing something to get the CTO's attention.::

ACO_CDR_Andersen says:
Jones: We're investigating a possible violation of extradition treaties.

CMO_Sormo says:
CNS: so it seems, someone stood behind you for at least a minute and you didn't notice it. Impressive!

AXO_LtJG_Kalla says:
COM: Starfleet command: Here is the USS Scimitar we are moving towards Romulan space in pursuit of a Romulan vessel which has abducted Captain Bandra.

K`Tran says:
@ ::Walks the hall again and enters the unlock code for the makeshift brig.::

SFI_Cleo_Jones says:
ACO: Oh, I'm well aware of that. And you should be aware that I've been assigned to... watch you.

Host CO_Cpt_Ian-Bandra says:
@::Looks up, hearing the door.::

Host AGMKevin says:
<Bandra::> Pulls out a small padd, types on it, downloads to the desktop console , encrypts and sends burst transmission.::

SFI_Cleo_Jones says:
ACO: ::Murmurs.:: One wrong step...

CNS_Ens_Adon says:
CMO: It couldn't have been a minute. The captain was facing me, she would have seen it happen.

CTO_LtJg_Furlong says:
ACO: Sir, is there any chance that this is some kind of Starfleet Intelligence test? We do seem to be charging head long into violating the neutral zone treaty.

CMO_Sormo says:
CNS: With the Romulans involved it may have been a personal cloaking device.

SFI_Cleo_Jones says:
::Looks up at the CTO.:: CTO: And you should remember that, Lieutenant.

K`Tran says:
@::Loves the way his ship's doors hiss evilly when they open.:: CO: Still here? ::Chuckles with poison.::

Host AGMKevin says:
COM: Scimitar: Starfleet command here, you are not, repeat not, to enter Romulan space under any circumstances! ::Message goes out on loud speakers.::

SFI_Cleo_Jones says:
::Smiles.::

Host CO_Cpt_Ian-Bandra says:
@K’Tran: How I wish I wasn't but I’m still here.

SFI_Cleo_Jones says:
::Smiles ferally.:: ACO: Commander, you've heard the message. 

CNS_Ens_Adon says:
CMO: That could explain how they got past some of the security guards.

ACO_CDR_Andersen says:
Jones: Yes, I heard it. FCO: Mr. More, time to Romulan border.

ACO_CDR_Andersen says:
AXO: Number One, open a channel to Starfleet Command.

SFI_Cleo_Jones says:
::Almost purrs.:: 

CMO_Sormo says:
CNS: We should tell the captain of this.

AXO_LtJG_Kalla says:
::Opens channel.:: ACO: Open, sir.

CTO_LtJg_Furlong says:
::Repeats scan for Romulan ship.::

SFI_Cleo_Jones says:
::Listens.::

K`Tran says:
@ ::Crouches next to her.:: CO: We'll reach the Romulan Border soon, and your silly ship back there will have to break off pursuit. So you might want to get used to saying "Don't kill me!" in Romulan. ::Pats her on the head.::

CNS_Ens_Adon says:
CMO: Yes, I think it’s time for a trip to the bridge.

Host CO_Cpt_Ian-Bandra says:
@::Jerks away from K’Tran.::

ACO_CDR_Andersen says:
COM: Starfleet Command: Starfleet Command, this is Acting Captain Andersen of the Scimitar. We have proof that Captain Ian-Bandra has been abducted by Romulans. A ship ignored repeated hails to stay put at Starbase 51 and was last seen headed for the border. We require permission to pursue.

CMO_Sormo says:
::Stretches arm pointing to the door.:: Lead the way.

SFI_Cleo_Jones says:
::Smiles.:: ACO: Commander, you don't want to do that...

CNS_Ens_Adon says:
::Walks towards the door and to the turbolift.::

CMO_Sormo says:
::Moves to turbolift.::

K`Tran says:
@ ::Laughs.::

CMO_Sormo says:
TL: Bridge!

ACO_CDR_Andersen says:
::Turns curiously towards Jones:: Jones: And WHY don't we want to? Because Starfleet Intelligence is somehow involved in all of this?

SFI_Cleo_Jones says:
ACO: Now, that would be telling, wouldn't it? ::Brushes a strand of hair away.::

EO_LTJG_EVANS says:
::Leaves engineering, wandering the corridors.::

Host AGMKevin says:
COM: Scimitar: Admiral Smarr, Starfleet Intelligence. Under no circumstance are you to cross the Romulan border. Also you are to cease transmitting any signal. Period! Do I make myself understood, Commander.

FCO_Ens_Adam_More says:
::Nearly jumps out of his chair and mouths.:: What the hell?

SFI_Cleo_Jones says:
::Looks down, her smile disappearing in her hair.::

CNS_Ens_Adon says:
::Turns to the CMO.:: CMO: We're here.  ::Walks out onto the bridge.::

ACO_CDR_Andersen says:
COM: Smarr: Admiral, what do you mean by transmitting... We are following established Starfleet transmission protocols for sending this message.

EO_LTJG_EVANS says:
::Enters the turbolift.:: TL: Bridge.

SFI_Cleo_Jones says:
::Leans back in her chair, smiling at the ACO.::

CMO_Sormo says:
::Walks onto the bridge.:: ACO: Commander, we have new information concerning the abductee.

Host AGMKevin says:
COM: Scimitar: Don't make me repeat myself, Commander, you are to cease and desist transmissions... Especially to the Romulan ship. Consider yourself lucky that I don't order you back to base!

K`Tran says:
@ ::Takes Aurel's arm and squeezes.:: CO: Try to keep this in mind when you wish for the Scimitar's success. If I blow up, you blow up.

CNS_Ens_Adon says:
::Frowns as she sees Jones in the counselor's seat.:: ACO: Perhaps you would like to discuss it in the ready room.

SFI_Cleo_Jones says:
::Raises a hand to hide her smile.::

ACO_CDR_Andersen says:
COM: Smarr: We have not transmitted to the Romulan vessel, Admiral. In fact, our only communication since leaving Starbase 51 has been to you.

Host CO_Cpt_Ian-Bandra says:
@::Grits her teeth.:: K’Tran: Who sent you?

SFI_Cleo_Jones says:
::Looks up at the counselor and smiles cordially.::

Host AGMKevin says:
COM: Scimitar: And it'll be the last one you make Commander. Smarr out!

K`Tran says:
@ CO: I could tell you, but I can see it will be just one more bit of torture not to.

Host AGMKevin says:
<Bandra> ::Steps out of the ready room.::

EO_LTJG_EVANS says:
::Exists the turbolift and takes place at engineering station one, begins corresponding collaborations to main engineering.::

AXO_LtJG_Kalla says:
::Does something to communications.:: ACO: I am afraid that we did not record the last couple of sentences quite correct.

ACO_CDR_Andersen says:
::Smarting from admiral's rebuke.:: FCO: Take us up to the border, then bring us to a complete stop, Ensign.

SFI_Cleo_Jones says:
::Smiles at the AXO.:: AXO: Oh, but I heard them, Lieutenant.

AXO_LtJG_Kalla says:
::Frowns but remains silent.::

FCO_Ens_Adam_More says:
ACO: ::Sighs.:: Yes, sir.

Host CO_Cpt_Ian-Bandra says:
@::Closes eyes.:: ~~~~K’Tran: Let me guess, Admiral TRoa?~~~~

CMO_Sormo says:
ACO: On my last medical scan Ms. Jones had a hearing problem, commander.

ACO_CDR_Andersen says:
AXO: So did I, Kalla. ::Turns around to face Jones.:: And you, Miss Jones, are perilously close to interfering in this expedition.

SFI_Cleo_Jones says:
::Lowers voice, so only ACO can hear her.:: ACO: Think of your crew, if you don't want to think of yourself. As I said, one false step...

K`Tran says:
@ ~~~~ CO: It's possible. But maybe not. ~~~~

CNS_Ens_Adon says:
::Walks down to the space beside the counselor's chair and smiles sweetly back at Jones.::

SFI_Cleo_Jones says:
::Remains seated, still smiling.::

Host AGMKevin says:
<Bandra> ACO: Is there something wrong?

AXO_LtJG_Kalla says:
Self: Not logical.

ACO_CDR_Andersen says:
Bandra: We've been ordered to stay out of Romulan space by an admiral from Starfleet Intel. ::Glares at Jones.::

ACO_CDR_Andersen says:
Bandra: And he also claims we've been transmitting to the Romulan ship.

Host AGMKevin says:
<Bandra>ACO: Ahh. And how close are we to the Romulan ship?

SFI_Cleo_Jones says:
::Face is serious, for once.:: ACO, Bandra: Don't interfere. It's in your own interest.

AXO_LtJG_Kalla says:
ACO: Should I try to reach Rear Admiral Stanley, sir?

SFI_Cleo_Jones says:
ACO: Be very careful, Commander.

Host AGMKevin says:
<Bandra> ::Gives Jones a quick look.::

AXO_LtJG_Kalla says:
::Starts mental preparations. This will be hard.:: ACO: One thing commander... ::Stands up.::

ACO_CDR_Andersen says:
::Still fuming at Jones' reticence:: AXO: What is it, Number One?

AXO_LtJG_Kalla says:
~~~~CO: I believe not at present. Captain K'vin Bandra tells me to tell you we're coming.~~~~

EO_LTJG_EVANS says:
::Draws more power from secondary system feeding it to the transporter.::

SFI_Cleo_Jones says:
::Awaits security.::

ACO_CDR_Andersen says:
CTO: Mr. Furlong, get one of your junior tactical officers. We'll need to run messages without the comm system.

Host CO_Cpt_Ian-Bandra says:
@~~~~CSO: Tell him I got his message.~~~~

K`Tran says:
@ ::Brings up the starcharts and finds what he needs. Drops out of warp unexpectedly.::

ACO_CDR_Andersen says:
FCO: Mr. More, status of Romulan ship?

EO_LTJG_EVANS says:
ACO: Transporter has all the power I can give it, sir.

FCO_Ens_Adam_More says:
ACO: Sir! The Romulan just dropped out of warp.

AXO_LtJG_Kalla says:
::Looks up at Captain Bandra.:: Captain: She got your message and says to let her know if she can help.

CTO_LtJg_Furlong says:
ACO: Roger.  ::Orders runners to attend the bridge.::

ACO_CDR_Andersen says:
FCO: Take us out of warp.

AXO_LtJG_Kalla says:
::Goes to get a cup of water, drains it, and takes another. Small beads of perspiration forming on her brow. She wipes them swiftly away.::

K`Tran says:
@ ::Changes trajectory and heads for a binary star.::

FCO_Ens_Adam_More says:
ACO: Aye, Captain.

AXO_LtJG_Kalla says:
::Sits down and shudders a bit.::

ACO_CDR_Andersen says:
::Scans for a window in the Romulan shields and sets transporter to activate once a window is found.::

ACO_CDR_Andersen says:
FCO: Maintain pursuit, Mr. More. Match speed and course.

K`Tran says:
@ ::Starts to overload power systems killing for more impulse.::

ACO_CDR_Andersen says:
::Remembers Jones.:: CTO: Have Miss Jones taken to the brig. Standard guard.

FCO_Ens_Adam_More says:
ACO: They are setting a new course.

ACO_CDR_Andersen says:
FCO: Stay with them, Ensign.

SFI_Cleo_Jones says:
::Nods pleasantly to the ACO.::

CTO_LtJg_Furlong says:
Security: Arrest Jones and take her to the Brig.

ACO_CDR_Andersen says:
::Curses at Ops console, keeps scanning for window to transport.::

SFI_Cleo_Jones says:
::Is being led away to the brig.::

K`Tran says:
@ ::Watches his sensors start to scramble from the excessive radiation.::

CTO_LtJg_Furlong says:
ACO: I suggest that we disable the Romulan.  That would make transport easier...

AXO_LtJG_Kalla says:
ACO: Sir, something is not right about the Romulan power emissions.

ACO_CDR_Andersen says:
::Furrows eyebrow.:: AXO: In what way, Kalla?

ACO_CDR_Andersen says:
CTO: Prepare to target engines only, Mr. Furlong. Fire only on my command.

K`Tran says:
@ ::Fires some mini-torps from the rear tube, trying to run interference.::

EO_LTJG_EVANS says:
::Checks read out from bridge engineering station.::

AXO_LtJG_Kalla says:
ACO: There is a certain amount of overload.

CTO_LtJg_Furlong says:
ACO: Aye, aye sir  ::Runs advanced targeting protocol.::

Host AGMKevin says:
ACTION: Sensor malfunctions misfire every torp, none hit the Scimitar.

ACO_CDR_Andersen says:
AXO: They're pressing...damn, it's a suicide mission. One-way.

SFI_Cleo_Jones says:
::Sits in the brig, staring at the wall tiredly.::

ACO_CDR_Andersen says:
CTO: Mr. Furlong, disable their engines.

K`Tran says:
@ ::Curses.. Resets explosion range and forces them to explode 3 seconds after leaving his ship.::

AXO_LtJG_Kalla says:
~~~~CO: Is everything all right. I read an overload of the systems on your ship.~~~~

CTO_LtJg_Furlong says:
::Fires volley of torpedoes.::

EO_LTJG_EVANS says:
ACO: Confirmed sir. The vessel’s systems are bordering on complete overload.

CTO_LtJg_Furlong says:
::Scans for damage.::

Host CO_Cpt_Ian-Bandra says:
@~~~~CSO: All right at the moment. Though getting a little bit warm in here. What's happening?~~~~

K`Tran says:
@ ::Changes vector into some spatial rubble around the binaries.::

Host AGMKevin says:
<Bandra> ::Looks at the turbolift, turns to ACO.:: ACO: Get her back Commander... that's an order. ::Steps into the turbolift.:: Computer: Brig.

ACO_CDR_Andersen says:
Bandra: Aye, sir. ::Feels surge of confidence.:: FCO: Mr. More, overtake that vessel.

AXO_LtJG_Kalla says:
ACO, Bandra: CO is reporting things are heating up aboard the Romulan vessel.

SFI_Cleo_Jones says:
::Lies back on the bunk, sighing.::

FCO_Ens_Adam_More says:
ACO: Yes, sir.

AXO_LtJG_Kalla says:
~~~~CO: I was wondering if they are trying to blow up the ship.~~~~

CTO_LtJg_Furlong says:
::Fires second volley of torpedoes backed up by phaser bust.::

EO_LTJG_EVANS says:
::Tries to boost transporter range even more by drawing for every non-essential system on the ship.::

AXO_LtJG_Kalla says:
ACO: Could they be trying to blow up their engines, sir?

ACO_CDR_Andersen says:
AXO: Possibly. ::Thinks a second.:: Fire a tachyon burst into their shields... Maybe we can force a reset.

Host AGMKevin says:
<Bandra> ::Steps out of the turbolift and walks into brig, looks at Jones, clears throat.::

Host CO_Cpt_Ian-Bandra says:
@~~~~CSO: I don’t think so. She's a coward.~~~~

SFI_Cleo_Jones says:
::Looks up.::

AXO_LtJG_Kalla says:
::Raises eyebrow.:: ACO: It is not the captain's impression that the Romulan has the mental make-up to try a suicide.

Host AGMKevin says:
Action: Romulan ship’s sensors fail, hull temperature rising shields at 58 percent and dropping, engines borderline.

CTO_LtJg_Furlong says:
::Configures deflector grid for tachyon burst and projects beam at Romulan vessel.::

ACO_CDR_Andersen says:
::Continues to work transporters... Hoping for that opening.::

Host AGMKevin says:
<Bandra> Jones: You’re wondering on whose authority I gave permission to cross the border?

AXO_LtJG_Kalla says:
ACO: Could we bring a shuttlecraft in transporter range?

SFI_Cleo_Jones says:
::Sits up and looks to Bandra, silently.::

EO_LTJG_EVANS says:
ACO: Sir, engines on the vessel are borderline, she could blow at any moment.

K`Tran says:
@ ::Fires more torps filling his wake with antimatter explosions.::

ACO_CDR_Andersen says:
AXO: I don't think a shuttle could survive the gravometric interference...

FCO_Ens_Adam_More says:
AXO: That would require too much time, if he were to shoot to warp we would be stuck here.

CMO_Sormo says:
*ACO* When you get a lock beam them directly to sickbay, they may be injured.

AXO_LtJG_Kalla says:
ACO: Maybe we should tell the Romulan how close she is to blowing up.

SFI_Cleo_Jones says:
::Stands up and moves to the force field.:: 

AXO_LtJG_Kalla says:
*CMO* Can you get me something to strengthen my mental abilities for a short while?

ACO_CDR_Andersen says:
AXO: Right. ::Hits comm button.:: COM: K’Tran: Romulan vessel, this is the Scimitar... You are dangerously close to overload. Cease your escape and we may be able to help you.

Host AGMKevin says:
<Bandra> Stands in front of the shield barring Jones from leaving the cell.:: Jones: Before I tell you... I need to know whose side your on.

ACO_CDR_Andersen says:
::Still scanning for Betazoid lifesigns.::

SFI_Cleo_Jones says:
::Sighs.:: Bandra: This is childish. 

AXO_LtJG_Kalla says:
~~~~CO: I recommend that you get your 'hosts' to desist from further hostile actions. The vessel is about to be destroyed.~~~~

CTO_LtJg_Furlong says:
::Fires volley to front of Romulan and another behind.::

K`Tran says:
@ COM: Scimitar: Never Sloth.  We Romulans always win.

Host AGMKevin says:
<Bandra> Jones: Perhaps but I need to know none the less... Are you working for Smarr?

ACO_CDR_Andersen says:
::Activates transporter to scan for ANY lifesigns.::

SFI_Cleo_Jones says:
::Sighs again, quieter.:: Bandra: My loyalty is with the Scimitar and its crew.

ACO_CDR_Andersen says:
COM: K’Tran: Think again.

ACO_CDR_Andersen says:
AXO: Kalla, fire another tachyon burst into their shields.

K`Tran says:
@ ::Weapons sensors go crazy at the blasts around her.:: Self: Damn...

Host CO_Cpt_Ian-Bandra says:
@::Nods her head.:: ~~~~K’Tran: What happened to being a  coward? You have the ship on self-destruct or something?~~~~

AXO_LtJG_Kalla says:
ACO: Aye, sir. ::Immediately carries out orders.::

ACO_CDR_Andersen says:
EO: Turn up the confinement beam to maximum, Mr. Evans...

K`Tran says:
@ ::Drops almost to a standstill, auto-repairs underway.::

SFI_Cleo_Jones says:
Bandra: If you want to know... I work with the dear Admiral.

CTO_LtJg_Furlong says:
ACO: Shall I finish the Romulan off?

K`Tran says:
@~~~~CO: No... But I need you off this ship.~~~~ COM: Scimitar: Take her..

EO_LTJG_EVANS says:
ACO: Aye sir confinement beam at maximum.

ACO_CDR_Andersen says:
::Tries again... looking for the Betazoid lifesigns.:: CTO: No... we want to get the Captain. Nothing else. We're not on search-and-destroy.

ACO_CDR_Andersen says:
All: Energizing... ::Tries beamout.::

EO_LTJG_EVANS says:
::Turns confinement beam to max output.::

CTO_LtJg_Furlong says:
ACO: Roger.

AXO_LtJG_Kalla says:
~~~~CO: I believe you have done it, ma’am.~~~~ ::Drains her water as everything starts to blacken out.::

AXO_LtJG_Kalla says:
EO: I believe we just got the spares for the ODN network.

Host CO_Cpt_Ian-Bandra says:
@::Sees transporter beam around her.::

AXO_LtJG_Kalla says:
::Slumps in her chair.::

Host AGMKevin says:
ACTION: Transporter takes, flickers then stabilizes, 5 seconds later the cell aboard the Romulan ship is empty.

K`Tran says:
@ ::Curses all the Romulan gods, and powers up the warp engines.::

ACO_CDR_Andersen says:
::Console indicates lock.:: Self: Yes!

EO_LTJG_EVANS says:
AXO: Yes I do, now I just have to make one....

Host CO_Cpt_Ian-Bandra says:
@Self: About time.

ACO_CDR_Andersen says:
*CMO* Transporting one to sickbay... FCO: Mr. More, reverse course... get us out of here, maximum warp!

FCO_Ens_Adam_More says:
ACO: We have her. Course back to the Federation?

EO_LTJG_EVANS says:
AXO: Are you okay, Kalla?

K`Tran says:
@ COM: Scimitar: By the way, thanks for that little encrypted gift. ::Cloaks and heads into warp, to the heart of the Romulan Star Empire.::

FCO_Ens_Adam_More says:
ACO: Engaging!

AXO_LtJG_Kalla says:
Silence.

CMO_Sormo says:
::Prepping the equipment.::

ACO_CDR_Andersen says:
*Bandra* Andersen to Captain Bandra...we have her, sir.

EO_LTJG_EVANS says:
*CMO* Medical team to the Bridge.

AXO_LtJG_Kalla says:
~~~~CO: Glad you are on board. Have to rest now.~~~~

Host AGMKevin says:
<Bandra> ::Stands quietly watching Jones.:: Jones: I'd expect you to say that anyway... ::Thinks to himself, half watching her.:: Jones: If I'm wrong in this it'll mean both of us are finished... what do you mean by that?

CMO_Sormo says:
::Assembling team and going to bridge.::

ACO_CDR_Andersen says:
*CMO* Doctor, the Captain should be in sickbay now.

EO_LTJG_EVANS says:
::Goes over to Kalla and checks her out knowing only basic first aid.::

Host CO_Cpt_Ian-Bandra says:
~~~~CSO: Thank you.~~~

CTO_LtJg_Furlong says:
::Continues tactical scanning.::

K`Tran says:
@ ::Slumps in the command chair.. Imagining the pain that will be experienced at Aurel's loss.. but maybe the other gift will do.::

SFI_Cleo_Jones says:
::Quietly.:: Bandra: What do you want me to do? I assure you, I'm not a threat to the Scimitar. Quite the opposite.

Host AGMKevin says:
<Bandra>*ACO* Good, commander, where is she?

AXO_LtJG_Kalla says:
::Unable to respond.::

ACO_CDR_Andersen says:
::Runs over to Kalla.:: *Bandra* I've transported her to sickbay.

CMO_Sormo says:
::Sending team to bridge and starts working on the captain.::

SFI_Cleo_Jones says:
::Sighs and rubs her forehead again.::

Host AGMKevin says:
<Bandra> Jones: We'll have to continue this later. I'm going to go see my wife.

ACO_CDR_Andersen says:
EO: Take care of her until the medics get here. ::Gets up slowly, walks over to chair and slumps into it.::

SFI_Cleo_Jones says:
::Nods.:: Bandra: Of course. I hope she is well.

CMO_Sormo says:
*ACO* The CO is fine albeit a bit tired.

FCO_Ens_Adam_More says:
ACO: Federation border in 18 minutes.

CTO_LtJg_Furlong says:
::Scans ship for damage and prepares report for engineering.::

ACO_CDR_Andersen says:
FCO: Once we get back to Federation space, Mr. More, take us down to standard cruising speed and take us back to Starbase 51.

EO_LTJG_EVANS says:
ACO: Aye, sir.

FCO_Ens_Adam_More says:
ACO: Aye, sir.

SFI_Cleo_Jones says:
::Goes back to her bunk.::

EO_LTJG_EVANS says:
::Rests her comfortably in his lap and waits.::

Host CO_Cpt_Ian-Bandra says:
::Slightly awake.:: CMO: What about the baby?

ACO_CDR_Andersen says:
CTO: Mr. Furlong, you have the bridge. I'll be in the ready room. ::Trudges off to the ready room.::
