Host AGM-Rob says:
############# Resume Scimitar Mission ###########

Pakled2 says:
@::rubs hands together gleefully as "the plan" seems to be working::

CSOCartig says:
::on bridge, looking at scans of the Pakled vessel::

Ops_Ander says:
COM: Pakleds: Pakled vessel, this is the Federation starship Scimitar. We are en route. Hold position until we arrive.

CEOCraven says:
::in main engineering, assigning damage control teams in case they are needed::

ACOBandra says:
::waiting for any sign that the shuttle crew are still alive::

Ops_Ander says:
ACO: Message to Pakled vessel sent, sir. ::holds course::

Host Viper_1 says:
#::looks over his sensor readings::

PakledCO says:
@COM: Scimitar: We want things to make us go.

Host Viper_1 says:
#COM: Scimitar: Still not able to get a good reading. I would have to get closer.

Ops_Ander says:
::groans at same old refrain:: ACO: I've finished accessing information on the Pakleds, sir...unfortunately, Starfleet hasn't had many dealings with them. In fact, it's been 11 years since the last known Starfleet contact with a Pakled vessel.

ACOBandra says:
Ops: Acknowledged. What do we have...as quickly as you can.

Ops_Ander says:
ACO: The USS Enterprise came across a Pakled ship, the Mondor, supposedly in distress. The Enterprise's CEO went to repair their systems, but was taken hostage.

Pakled2 says:
@::nods vigorously at CO's comment::

Host Viper_1 says:
#COM: Scimitar: Request weapons lock.

CSOCartig says:
ACO: We're almost in range for scans of the destroyed shuttle.

COIan_Ban says:
@::sighs and shakes head:: PakledCO: I'll help you in what ways I can.

CTO_Bucha says:
COM: Viper1: We will be there in a few minutes...continue scanning for signs of the Captain and CMO...stand by...hold your fire.

ACOBandra says:
Ops: Seems familiar, how'd they get their CEO back? CSO: Good. See if there's anything to confirm the CO and CMO's status.

Host Viper_1 says:
#COM: Scimitar: Copy, continue scanning. Do we have orders to fire if attacked?

Pakled2 says:
@::with silly grin:: COIan: We get things to make us go?

CMOMcCell says:
::shuffles around a bit on the floor to keep the circulation going::

CTO_Bucha says:
COM: Viper1: Only if attacked...be careful, they could have captives.

Ops_Ander says:
ACO: By subterfuge, sir. They convinced the Pakleds that Lieutenant LaForge...that's his name...was a weapons wiz, and he created - then disabled - a photon torpedo on their ship. The Enterprise blew out their Bussard collectors to create a lightshow that they called the "Crimson Forcefield." That convinced the Pakleds that they were powerless, and they transported Lieutenant LaForge back.

COIan_Ban says:
@Pakled2: What is within my power. But destroying that shuttle did not help.

ACOBandra says:
Ops: Think they'd fall for it again?

Pakled2 says:
@COIan: We want that. ::points at Scimitar on viewscreen::

Ops_Ander says:
ACO: It could happen...but we have to find out if the Captain and Dr. McCellan are alive. And I think I have an idea on that.

Pakled2 says:
@::nods annoyingly::

COIan_Ban says:
@Pakled2: No. We can fix your engines, maybe...but the ship, most certainly not.

Pakled2 says:
@::frowns:: COIan: No? Then we take.

CSOCartig says:
ACO: Sensor scans are coming in. Scanning for lifesigns.

COIan_Ban says:
@Pakled2: Are you the captain here? I don't see you giving the orders, little man.

ACOBandra says:
Ops: What is it?

Pakled2 says:
@::grins at his Captain::

Ops_Ander says:
ACO: We make them believe that the Captain and the Doctor are Romulan spies...and that WE have the real items.

Host Viper_1 says:
#::sees the Scimitar arrive on site::

Pakled2 says:
@CO Ian: You stay seated.

PakledCO says:
@COIan: We want things to make us go. We take them from your ship.

CSOCartig says:
ACO: I'm reading some biomass, but only about enough for one body. But I'm not sure.

Host Viper_1 says:
#COM: Scimitar: Do you want us to return for refueling?

COIan_Ban says:
@::mutters:: Ever heard of asking nicely?

ACOBandra says:
Ops: How would we do that? CSO: I need confirmation.

Pakled2 says:
@::checks on the CMO, ensuring he is well tied::

CSOCartig says:
ACO: I'm working on it.

CMOMcCell says:
@::stands up:: Pakled2: Where do you want to go?

COIan_Ban says:
@::stands up, defying the little man::

CTO_Bucha says:
COM: Viper1: Please do so before you are stranded...we aren't in the towing business.

CTO_Bucha says:
ACO: Scanning now, sir.

PakledCO says:
@CMO: We want things to make us go everywhere.

Ops_Ander says:
ACO: Create a holofilter of sorts...run outgoing visual comms through Holodeck 1 and create holoimages of the CO and Steve. The holodecks are capable of real-time simulation of any area on the ship.

Ops_Ander says:
ACO: Then, the "CO" can tell the Pakleds that they have imposters...and that the Romulans are coming after them and will destroy the ship. We offer to take the "spies" off the Pakleds' hands in exchange for telling off the Romulans.

Host Viper_1 says:
#COM: Scimitar: We have enough fuel, but just in case, I like to top off the tanks in case of combat.

Pakled2 says:
@::shocked as CMO stands::

CSOCartig says:
::begins running more biological scans::

Pakled2 says:
@CMO: You, you sit.

CTO_Bucha says:
ACO: Nothing but shuttle debris, the Pakled vessel, and Viper Flight One...there are no other threats.

CTO_Bucha says:
COM: Viper1: Very well...return to refuel.

PakledCO says:
@::points phaser at CMO::

ACOBandra says:
Ops: Not bad. CTO: Acknowledged. What do you think of Ops' plan?

CMOMcCell says:
@Pakled2: The galaxy isn't a nice place; neither is that ship. We could sic some Borg drones on you. ::glares at CO to get her to join his plan::

Host Viper_1 says:
#COM: Scimitar: Roger.

PakledCO says:
@::overhears:: CMO: What is Borg drone?

CTO_Bucha says:
ACO: Let's give it a try.

Pakled2 says:
@::picks up the loose ropes and stares at hostages::

COIan_Ban says:
@Pakled2: If you tie him up, he can't do anything to help you.

Host Viper_1 says:
ACTION: The Pakled vessel suddenly takes a sharp dip to the starboard side, then straightens back up as the FCO is frightened by the word "Borg."

Pakled2 says:
@::frowns at Ian::

CMOMcCell says:
@Pakled: A relentless cybernetic soldier. Nothing can stop them from completing their mission.

ACOBandra says:
Ops: Set it up.

Host Viper_1 says:
ACTION: Pakled2 goes flying...luckily for him, CMO McCellan breaks his fall.

PakledCO says:
@:: looks at Pakled2 :: Pakled2: They can make us go.

COIan_Ban says:
@::bites tongue to keep from laughing at image of assimilated Pakleds::

Ops_Ander says:
Comp: Computer, activate Holodeck 1 and create real-time simulation of Scimitar bridge. Substitute image of Captain Aurel Ian-Bandra for Lieutenant Edward Andersen. Place simulation of Lieutenant Andersen at conn.

Pakled2 says:
@::rocks with the sudden motion, grabbing at CMO::

CMOMcCell says:
@Pakled2: They would assimilate your vessel. ::grabs Pakled::

Ops_Ander says:
Comp: Reroute all outgoing visual communications through Holodeck 1, with five-second delay. Place simulation of Dr. Steven McCellan behind Ops console.

PakledCO says:
@::fires phaser at CMO, on heavy stun::

CMOMcCell says:
@::drops unconscious::

COIan_Ban says:
@::stumbles, stopping fall by grabbing onto something::

Ops_Ander says:
::walks up near CO's chair::

Pakled2 says:
@::pushes CMO down into chair and begins retying::

Host Viper_1 says:
ACTION: The Pakled vessel suddenly lurches forward, right for the Scimitar, as McCellan has scared the FCO again.

Ops_Ander says:
::checks CO's arm console to view simulation::

Ops_Ander says:
CTO: Cole, check the viewscreen...does everything look in order?

CTO_Bucha says:
::turns to look at monitor...and the incredible likeness of the humble doctor standing at Ops::

Pakled2 says:
@::falls into CMO's lap and glares at FCO::

CTO_Bucha says:
ACO: Sir...the Pakled vessel is now on a collision course...impact 2 minutes.

PakledCO says:
@FCO: You are relieved.

ACOBandra says:
CTO: What?

Ops_Ander says:
::rushes down to helm, backs Scimitar off::

Host Pakled_FCO says:
@::fumbles with the controls and regains control of the vessel...100 meters from the Scimitar::

Pakled2 says:
@PakledCO: ::excitedly:: Sir, sir...

PakledCO says:
@::sits at helm and stops the ship:: FCO: We want the ship to make us go. Not to damage.

CTO_Bucha says:
::shrugs and rechecks console:: ACO: Impact in 1 minute, 51 seconds.

COIan_Ban says:
@::thinks:: Pakled: They will make you smarter, you will make things for them to go.

PakledCO says:
@Pakled2: What you want?

ACOBandra says:
All: Evasive maneuvers.

CTO_Bucha says:
ACO: The Pakleds seem to have regained control.

Pakled2 says:
@::gives hugh sigh of relief:: PakledCO: Ah, nothing, sir.

PakledCO says:
@COIan: Stop talking! You make my head hurt.

Ops_Ander says:
::stops Scimitar::

CTO_Bucha says:
Ops: We can proceed.

Ops_Ander says:
ACO: I think we're ready, sir... ::walks up to CO's chair again::

Pakled2 says:
@::finishes tying up the CMO and moves toward CO Ian::

COIan_Ban says:
@:PakledCO: And you stunned the doctor. He could make your head feel better.

CTO_Bucha says:
::keeps close eye on Pakled vessel::

Ops_Ander says:
ACO: I hope you'll forgive me for taking the role of the Captain, sir...the holoimage needs a voice behind it.

CMOMcCell says:
@::head kinda drops in front of him from resting on his shoulder drooping down::

PakledCO says:
@COIan: What I say?

CSOCartig says:
CTO: See if you can find a weakness in the Pakled vessel.

Pakled2 says:
@::motions for Ian to be seated::

CTO_Bucha says:
::nods to CSO::

COIan_Ban says:
@::rolls eyes:: PakledCO: You fired at the doctor. Doctors make people feel better.

Ops_Ander says:
ACO: Shall I proceed, sir?

COIan_Ban says:
@::sits down::

ACOBandra says:
Ops: Very well...no, I don't mind at all. ::stands up, moves to the XO's seat:: Proceed.

CTO_Bucha says:
::scans for vulnerable systems on the Pakled ship::

PakledCO says:
@::points phaser at CO:: COIan: I say stop!

Pakled2 says:
@COIan: you be nice and quiet please.::Ties her up::

Ops_Ander says:
::takes deep breath:: CTO: Cole, open a channel through the "holofilter."

CTO_Bucha says:
Ops: Channel open...uh, ma'am.

COIan_Ban says:
@::shrugs at PakledCO, mutters:: Be nice and quiet.

CTO_Bucha says:
::sees no weaknesses on scans::

Ops_Ander says:
::smirks at CTO, then turns back to screen:: COM: Pakleds: Pakled vessel...this is Captain Aurel Ian-Bandra of the Federation starship Scimitar. Please respond.

Ops_Ander says:
::tries his best to act Romulan...well, Romulan-Betazoid::

Pakled2 says:
@::checks the ropes and returns to his seat::

COIan_Ban says:
@::surprised to see herself on the ship, wonders what is going on::

PakledCO says:
@COM: Scimitar: That not possible, we have your Captain here. ::looks confused::

CTO_Bucha says:
::continues to monitor tactical alert systems::

Ops_Ander says:
COM: Pakleds: No. What you have are two Romulan spies, who are being hunted by the Romulan Tal Shiar for defecting. The Romulans will be in this system within 1 hour to destroy them.

Pakled2 says:
@::sits with wide silly grin as "the plan" continues::

Ops_Ander says:
::raises eyebrow:: COM: Pakleds: Of course, that will mean your destruction as well.

ACOBandra says:
::hoping Aurel can figure out what they're doing and play along::

PakledCO says:
@COM: Scimitar: ROMULANS? We don't like Romulans, they wouldn't give us things to make us go. They hurt us.

COIan_Ban says:
@::frowns:: Self: Hwii, veruul.

Pakled2 says:
@::frowns at hearing the comm from the Scimitar::

PakledCO says:
@::looks at Pakled2::

Ops_Ander says:
COM: Pakleds: And they will hurt you...unless...

Pakled2 says:
@::shakes head at his CO, confused::

PakledCO says:
@Pakled2 and COM: Scimitar: We must eject them into space and leave now.

COIan_Ban says:
@::tries reaching for Romulan dagger in her boot, to cut ropes::

CMOMcCell says:
@::body kinda ends up giving way and flops a little bit further forward::

Host Viper_1 says:
::finishes refueling::

Host Viper_1 says:
*CTO* We're ready for action again.

Pakled2 says:
@PakledCO: Sir, can't we keep the pretty one?

CTO_Bucha says:
*Viper1* Roger...stand by.

Ops_Ander says:
COM: Pakleds: If you kill them, the Romulans will still destroy you. If you surrender them to us, we will tell the Romulans that you were not involved.

ACOBandra says:
::hears the eject into space and freezes...this wasn't supposed to happen::

Host Viper_1 says:
ACTION: The CMO begins to wake up.

PakledCO says:
@COM: Scimitar: No, the Romulans will find out, they smarter than you.

Pakled2 says:
@::grins and plays with the Starfleet officer's knife::

Ops_Ander says:
COM: Pakleds: I can convince them. Ask your prisoners. As Romulans, they should know.

PakledCO says:
@Pakled2: What will we do?

Pakled2 says:
@Self: Ouch. ::drops knife after cutting his finger::

CSOCartig says:
ACO: What if we send them a fake sensor reading of the Romulan vessel coming?

CMOMcCell says:
@::wakes up, feeling a little hung over by the phaser::

Ops_Ander says:
::uses PADD to edit CSO's remark out of transmission to Pakleds::

Pakled2 says:
@::shrugs:: PakledCO: Get that ship? ::points to Scimitar::

Ops_Ander says:
::nods to ACO::

Host Viper_1 says:
*CTO* Viper Flight One is ready for launch. Awaiting orders.

PakledCO says:
@COM: Scimitar: We want your ship. We not believe you.

CMOMcCell says:
@::squints as the room spins::

Ops_Ander says:
COM: Pakleds: You will not get my ship. You have a choice - either the Romulans will destroy you, or we can do it right now.

CTO_Bucha says:
::whispers:: *Viper1* We have a comm open to the Pakled ship...stand by.

Pakled2 says:
@PakledCO: It's pretty, like her... ::points to Ian:: ...and it goes fast. ::big grin::

PakledCO says:
@COM: Scimitar: You not be happy about Romulan spies being here.

CMOMcCell says:
@::groans, focusing on a bulkhead::

Host Viper_1 says:
ACTION: Ops' edit of the CSO's message did not work 100 percent. What the Pakleds hear is: "...sensor reading...Romulan vessel coming."

PakledCO says:
@::distracted by CMO::

ACOBandra says:
::notes Ops' deletion of the comm of CSO's suggestion and slowly makes his way over to the CSO, whispers:: CSO: Can you make sure they'll believe it?

COIan_Ban says:
@::grins:: PakledCO: The Federation will not help you, fool.

PakledCO says:
@::didn't hear last comm about Romulans::

Pakled2 says:
@PakledCO: Romulans?

CMOMcCell says:
@Pakled: Can't you use Starfleet-issue? These give you one hell of a headache...

Ops_Ander says:
COM: Pakleds: You don't have long to decide.

PakledCO says:
@Pakled2: Yes, Romulan spies.

CMOMcCell says:
@::snaps out of it, seeing self on the viewscreen::

Ops_Ander says:
::types into PADD for readout at CTO's console - "prepare tachyon burst to fire into their shields...just in case"::

COIan_Ban says:
@::whispers:: CMO: Calm down.

CTO_Bucha says:
::prepares tachyon burst to alter Pakled shields::

Pakled2 says:
@PakledCO: Maybe Romulans give us ship for these two spies?

PakledCO says:
@COM: Scimitar: We have already decided. We want Scimitar.

COIan_Ban says:
@PakledCO: Our people want us dead because of the secret we have.

Host Viper_1 says:
::waits for orders::

PakledCO says:
@::turns:: COIan: What is secret?

Ops_Ander says:
::hears CO, decides to hold off on further statement::

PakledCO says:
@Pakled2: No, remember how they hurt us before.

Pakled2 says:
@::turns to Ian, very confused::

CMOMcCell says:
::struggles, now realizing they tied him while he was out::

COIan_Ban says:
@PakledCO: Veruul, fool, your ship will be destroyed with us on it.

Ops_Ander says:
::types again to CTO - "prepare to transport any non-Pakleds as well"::

PakledCO says:
@CMO: Stop, or your headache get worse.

Pakled2 says:
@::shrugs to PakledCO:: PakledCO: As you think best.

CTO_Bucha says:
::prepares transport for CO and CMO...stands by::

Ops_Ander says:
COM: Pakleds: If you cooperate, I will talk to the Romulan vessel incoming...I can convince them that you have no part in this. That you are just looking...for things to make your ship go.

Ops_Ander says:
::resists temptation to roll eyes::

ACOBandra says:
::resisting the urge to pace...and to tell the Pakleds off::

Pakled2 says:
@::brows furl at the other CO's comment::

PakledCO says:
@COM: Scimitar: Maybe the Romulans would give us things to make us go in trade for the spies.

CTO_Bucha says:
::types message to shuttlebay - "Can you reconfigure a fighter to look like a Romulan vessel on the Pakled sensors?"::

ACOBandra says:
::senses something...Aurel...thinks, I'll have to get my psi rating retested::

Pakled2 says:
@PakledCO: Maybe we should just go now. Come back when Romulans leave.

COIan_Ban says:
@PakledCO: Listen to her. She can talk to our people.

Host Viper_1 says:
::gets the message...and looks over the specs::

CTO_Bucha says:
::whispers:: *Viper1* Did you copy that?

CMOMcCell says:
@::like a Romulan, whispering so the Scimitar crew can't hear:: PakledCO: Our people want us dead, they will kill who has us to get us. Do you want to be destroyed, or would you rather the Federation p'tahks be destroyed?

PakledCO says:
@::cuts comm:: Pakled2: Okay, we come back later.

Ops_Ander says:
COM: Pakleds: The Romulans will not deal with you. They will destroy you...as I have said.

Pakled2 says:
@::sets course away from area::

Host Viper_1 says:
::returns follow message to CTO - "Yes. We need the CEO and CSO to reconfigure some systems on my bird. If done right, I will look like a cloaked Warbird. If you want more we can set up each fighter up to a max of 6 cloaked warbirds."::

COIan_Ban says:
@::smiles, sensing K'vin:: (K'vin, calm down)

PakledCO says:
@Pakled2: Make us go fast!

Ops_Ander says:
::bogey tracker on helm goes off:: ACO: Damn... ::cuts transmission, runs down to helm::

Pakled2 says:
@::smiles at the pretty Captain::

CMOMcCell says:
@::realizes that was a Klingon idiom...and then thinks that the Pakleds wouldn't notice, because they aren't smart enough::

CTO_Bucha says:
::motions to ACO::

Host Viper_1 says:
ACTION: The Pakled vessel stalls...must be those cheap parts.

Ops_Ander says:
ACO: They're trying to escape...but their ship appears to have stalled.

COIan_Ban says:
@::grins:: Pakled2: So you cut yourself with my kaleh, Pakled.

PakledCO says:
@Pakled2: What wrong?

Pakled2 says:
@::frowns and hits console::

Ops_Ander says:
::puts helm on auto-nav, goes back up near CO's chair::

CMOMcCell says:
@::struggles some more::

CTO_Bucha says:
::whispers:: ACO: Sir, Viper1 can reconfigure to appear as a Romulan Warbird...requiring the help of the CSO and CEO.

ACOBandra says:
::snaps back to reality at CTO's motion, relief evident on his face...moves to the CTO:: CTO: Yes?

Host Viper_1 says:
ACTION: Pakled engines come back to life when Pakled2 hits the panel.

Pakled2 says:
@::bends over helm, hitting his head on console::

Pakled2 says:
@::is pushed back into seat, with a surprised look::

ACOBandra says:
CTO: Do it...surround the Pakleds with them. Ops: Lucky us.

CTO_Bucha says:
ACO: I believe we could send him off a considerable distance and enable the sensor mask...intimidating the Pakleds.

CSOCartig says:
CTO: I'm ready to assist you.

Host Viper_1 says:
ACTION: ...but, of course, when Pakled2 hits his head on the board, the ship loses power for 3 nanoseconds. Then, power comes back online...except now the engines are offline.

Pakled2 says:
@::grins silly at PakledCO:: PakledCO: There.

Pakled2 says:
@::frowns again at console::

PakledCO says:
@Pakled2: Quick, hit your head again!

CTO_Bucha says:
*Viper1*: Your help is coming...ready to act like a Romulan?

COIan_Ban says:
@Pakled2: A Ferengi must have sold you his cheapest parts.

Ops_Ander says:
CTO: Warn them to use audio comms only.

Host Viper_1 says:
*CTO* Roger

CTO_Bucha says:
Ops: Good idea.

Pakled2 says:
@::shrugs, carefully bends down removing the panel::

Ops_Ander says:
CTO: And see if they can reconfigure for tachyon bursts as well.

Pakled2 says:
@::drops panel on toe::

Host Viper_1 says:
ACTION: Pakled2 gets shocked when he touches a bare red wire...and glows like a lightbulb.

Ops_Ander says:
ACO: That is...if it's OK with you, sir...

CTO_Bucha says:
*CEO*  I've got a project for ya...meet me in Shuttlebay 1, Buchanan out.

Pakled2 says:
@::jumps at the sparks, and falls to deck::

ACOBandra says:
Ops: By all means.

CEOCraven says:
*CTO* Roger that.

CTO_Bucha says:
ACO: Permission to get this underway, sir?

Host Viper_1 says:
ACTION: The Pakled engines come back online.

CEOCraven says:
::heads for Shuttlebay 1::

CSOCartig says:
CTO: Do you need my help too?

PakledCO says:
@::slams fist on helm console:: Console: Go stupid console.

Pakled2 says:
@::shakes and quivers on deck, then resumes seat::

CTO_Bucha says:
CSO: Yes...head for Shuttlebay 1, and inform the CEO of our plan.

Host Viper_1 says:
::begins pulling the EMS board from his fighter::

Pakled2 says:
@::reengages engines::

Ops_Ander says:
::looks down at helm:: ACO: Sir, their engines are online again.

ACOBandra says:
CTO: Granted.

Pakled2 says:
@PakledCO: Ready, sir.

PakledCO says:
@Pakled2: Make us go!

Host Viper_1 says:
ACTION: Of course, when Pakled2 put the panel in, he put it in backwards...

CTO_Bucha says:
CSO: Let's go... ::heads for TL:: Ops: Keep us close...we'll need a few minutes.

CSOCartig says:
::heads for TL:: *CEO* We are going to try to make our fighters look like Romulan Warbirds.

CEOCraven says:
::arrives in Shuttlebay 1::

Pakled2 says:
@::hits warp button, sparks fly as ship starts to go in reverse::

Host Viper_1 says:
::sees the CEO arrive:: CEO: Give me a hand with the EMS unit.

Host Viper_1 says:
ACTION: The Pakled warp drive fries...

Ops_Ander says:
CTO: No problem...they're not going anywhere right now.

CEOCraven says:
::walks over to Viper_1 and begins helping him with the EMS unit::

Ops_Ander says:
::keeps the Scimitar at a discreet distance::

CTO_Bucha says:
::in TL with CSO:: CSO: What is your first name again?

Pakled2 says:
@PakledCO: Sir, now there a problem is.

Host Viper_1 says:
CSO: Work on the comm unit. Modify it for standard Romulan channels.

PakledCO says:
@::opens comm:: COM: Scimitar: We wanted to leave but we can't. So we want Scimitar in 1 minute or these spies die.

CMOMcCell says:
@::struggles some more, just to do something::

CTO_Bucha says:
::steps out of TL with CSO, heads into shuttlebay...acknowledges Viper1::

Host Viper_1 says:
::pulls out a IO Chip:: CEO: You happen to have a IEEE 1234 IO chip?

Pakled2 says:
@::grins, happy with his CO's solution::

CSOCartig says:
::walks over to Viper 1's comm unit and begins work::

Ops_Ander says:
::activates comm through "holofilter", goes back to CO's chair::

PakledCO says:
@ ::sets phaser to kill and points it at CO::

COIan_Ban says:
@PakledCO: Then you will die anyway. Our people want the information we have.

Ops_Ander says:
COM: Pakleds: I have told you before, and I will tell you again...if they die, you die.

Pakled2 says:
@::frowns at PakledCO:: PakledCO: No, not the pretty one.

CEOCraven says:
::checks to see if he has the chip:: Yep. ::hands chip to Viper 1::

Ops_Ander says:
::motions for ACO to go to TAC console::

PakledCO says:
@::looks at Pakled2:: Pakled2: Take place.

Ops_Ander says:
::looks at Pakleds unflinchingly::

Pakled2 says:
@::points to CMO:: PakledCO: What about him?

PakledCO says:
@::shoots the phaser::

COIan_Ban says:
@::grins as she sees how PakledCO is holding phaser:: Pakled CO: Bye-bye.

Host Viper_1 says:
ACTION: Unfortunately, the Pakled CO happens to be holding the phaser backwards...and shoots himself.

Pakled2 says:
@Self: EEEEEK!

Host Viper_1 says:
ACTION: The Pakleds are as lucky as they are dumb...they seem to be able to absorb a minor stun setting, which is all the phaser was on.

Pakled2 says:
@::rushes to leader's side::

PakledCO says:
@::picks up phaser slowly and looks at it::

Host Viper_1 says:
::installs chip:: CEO: OK, I think we did it...let's test it...got a tricoder?

PakledCO says:
@All: That not happen again.

CSOCartig says:
Viper1: Five standard channels programmed, sir.

CEOCraven says:
::takes tricorder out and hands it to Viper_1::

Host Viper_1 says:
CSO: Good...did you test them?

PakledCO says:
@::points the phaser the right way, sets to kill...and fires::

Host Viper_1 says:
::flips a switch:: CEO: What do you read?

Ops_Ander says:
::types message to shuttlebay - "Hurry up..."::

CSOCartig says:
Viper1: I'm on it. ::pulls out tricorder::

Host Viper_1 says:
ACTION: Luckily for Captain Ian-Bandra, the phaser is out of power...it fizzles and then, nothing.

@::sighs with relief::

PakledCO says:
@::runs and gets another phaser fully charged and set to kill, points and fires::

CEOCraven says:
::checks readings with tricorder:: Viper_1: Appears to read it as a cloaked Warbird.

CMOMcCell says:
::struggles...now the weapon is useless::

::types message back to bridge:: "Testing now...."

Pakled2 says:
@::stands between Ian and his CO::

Host Viper_1 says:
ACTION: The Pakled CO trips and falls as he fires...hitting Pakled2.

::scanning, finds the five channels work good::

COIan_Ban says:
@::ducks::

Pakled2 says:
@::falls, fried::

Ops_Ander says:
COM: Pakleds: These histrionics are meaningless. Either turn over the spies now, or we will give the Romulans your exact position.

PakledCO says:
@::grumbles:: COIan: Did not like much anyway. ::shoots again::

CSOCartig says:
Viper_1: The channels are ready to go.

COIan_Ban says:
@::ducks again::

Ops_Ander says:
::whispers:: ACO: Prepare to fire tachyon bursts into the Pakled shields.

::keeps struggling, trying to undo the knot::

Host Viper_1 says:
CSO: Good.

PakledCO says:
@::screams like a little girl::

COIan_Ban says:
@::rolls eyes::

Host Viper_1 says:
CEO: Good...let's get this where it belongs.

Ops_Ander says:
::sees that Pakleds' shields are offline:: Comp: Computer, scan Pakled ship and transport all non-Pakled life forms to our sickbay. Energize!

Host Viper_1 says:
CSO: Contact the bridge...tell them 3 minutes to launch.

Host Computer says:
Ops: Acknowledged. Initiating transport.

CTO_Bucha says:
::turns, heads back to TL:: Viper1: Notify me when you're ready to fly...with a text message! I'll be on the bridge. ::enters TL::

PakledCO says:
@::shoots randomly in the general direction of the two crew members::

CSOCartig says:
*CTO* The fake warbirds will be ready in three minutes.

Pakled2 says:
@::body flinches as his CO keeps shooting him::

CTO_Bucha says:
::TL zooms up to bridge::

Host Viper_1 says:
ACTION: The Captain and CMO are beamed off the Pakled vessel....just as PakledCO's phaser explodes.

CTO_Bucha says:
*CSO* Acknowledged. ::enters bridge::

CMOMcCell says:
::arrives in sickbay, on the floor::

Ops_Ander says:
::sees that the CO and CMO are back aboard...cuts comm, rushes to helm:: ACO: Setting escape course and engaging at maximum warp for the convoy...

CTO_Bucha says:
::arrives on bridge just in time to see the mayhem...takes station::

COIan_Ban says:
Self: That is the last time I take a voluntary leave of absence.

CMOMcCell says:
::gets up, walking in circles, trying to undo the knot::

Ops_Ander says:
ACO: Sir, we've got the CO and the Doctor aboard... ::checks incoming comm on board:: ...incoming message from the convoy. They've arrived at Cardassia Prime.

CTO_Bucha says:
*Viper_1*: Delay launch...we've had a change of plans.

Host Viper_1 says:
ACTION: The Scimitar jumps to warp, leaving the crippled Pakled vessel behind.

Host Viper_1 says:
*CTO* Roger.

Host Viper_1 says:
CEO, CSO: Thanks for your help.

CMOMcCell says:
COIan_Ban: A little help?

CSOCartig says:
Viper_1: Sure.

CMOMcCell says:
::trips over::

CEOCraven says:
Viper_1:  You're welcome.

Ops_Ander says:
::leans back in helm chair...deep sigh of relief::

COIan_Ban says:
::gets up and helps CMO get knot undone::

ACOBandra says:
Ops: Acknowledged.

CMOMcCell says:
::lands face down over the diagnostic console::

Host Viper_1 says:
ACTION: The CMO falls flat on his nose.

CTO_Bucha says:
Ops: I take it we got the Captain and Doc?

CMOMcCell says:
COIan_Ban: Thank you. ::flexes hands now that they're free::

CSOCartig says:
::walks into TL and heads for bridge::

Ops_Ander says:
CTO: That's an affirmative. Fortunately, the Pakleds are more unlucky than clever.

COIan_Ban says:
CMO: How about me?

CTO_Bucha says:
::chuckles::

CMOMcCell says:
::undoes Aurel's knot...not the one she shares with K'vin, though, the Pakled one::

PakledCO says:
@::falls on the big red button marked "self-destruct"::

CSOCartig says:
::TL doors open, CSO walks out and takes his station::

PakledComputer says:
@All: Self-destruct in 2 minutes.

CTO_Bucha says:
CSO: Good job down there...I thought we might need the "Warbirds."

CEOCraven says:
::arrives back in main engineering::

PakledCO says:
@::still screaming like little girl from the phaser blast, now starts jumping up and down::

Host Viper_1 says:
ACTION: Pakled vessel goes KABOOM...like everything else, their computer seems to not be able to count right.

CSOCartig says:
ACO: I'm reading an explosion from the Pakled vessel's location.

ACOBandra says:
::turns to the turbolift, and looks back:: All: Someone take the conn. I'll be in sickbay. ::steps into the TL:: TL: Sickbay.

CMOMcCell says:
::finally, the pain catches up, and he places his hand over his nose as it begins to bleed:: COIan-Ban: I think I broke my nose.

Ops_Ander says:
::begins to get up from helm and head for CO's chair:: *Mitchell* Ensign Mitchell, report to the bridge for helm duty.

CTO_Bucha says:
Ops: May I?

CSOCartig says:
CTO: Thanks, sir.

COIan_Ban says:
::rubs wrists:: CMO: Lie down on one of the biobeds. That ought to stop it.

Ops_Ander says:
::thinks, why not?:: *Mitchell* Cancel that... ::sits back down:: CTO: By all means. Try it out.

CTO_Bucha says:
::steps out from behind console::

ACOBandra says:
::waiting for the turbolift to arrive::

CMOMcCell says:
::with one hand over his nose, takes tricorder with the other hand and opens it on the console, putting blood all over it, and scans his own nose, after no help from Aurel::

ACOBandra says:
::TL arrives...he steps out, walks down the corridor and enters sickbay:: CO: Aurel?

CMOMcCell says:
::reads that he has a broken nose and stumbles around, getting blood all over, to find the right equipment to repair it::

Ops_Ander says:
CTO, *ACO, CO* Incoming message from Starfleet Command...

COIan_Ban says:
::smiles:: ACO: K'vin. ::runs over and gives him a hug::

CTO_Bucha says:
::sits down in the big chair::

CTO_Bucha says:
Ops: ETA to Cardassian system?

ACOBandra says:
::returns the hug, nearly crushing her:: Self: Damn.

Ops_Ander says:
CTO: Checking now...

Ops_Ander says:
CTO: We're still about a day away from Cardassia Prime.

COIan_Ban says:
*Ops* What's it say?

CTO_Bucha says:
ALL: Steady as she goes...straight on till mornin'.

ACOBandra says:
::waiting for reply from Ops::

Ops_Ander says:
::turns slightly to face CTO, smiles::

Ops_Ander says:
*CO, ACO* Message still coming in, Captain, sir.

CMOMcCell says:
::finishes work on his nose and then gets a swab or something to get the blood from his face, hands and nose::

Ops_Ander says:
CTO, *CO, ACO* We've been ordered to Starbase 51 to meet with Captain Stanley. Shall I change course?

CMOMcCell says:
::feels light-headed from so much blood going away in such a short period::

CTO_Bucha says:
::hears Ops::

COIan_Ban says:
*Ops* Any mention of the convoy to Cardassia?

CSOCartig says:
::resets science console::

Ops_Ander says:
*CO* Yes, Captain. They've arrived, no difficulties reported.

CMOMcCell says:
::sits on a biobed and basically passes out on it::

ACOBandra says:
::hoping this gets settled soon...wants Aurel to himself for a few hours::

PakledCO says:
@::floating in space around debris of ship::

Ops_Ander says:
::prepares a course to Starbase 51, ready to go on the CO's word::
