CIV: Long range sensors are picking up something... I'm trying to identify it.

CSO_MacLeod says:
FCO: Yes, but still have no idea what that is.

CSO_MacLeod says:
XO: Commander, I'm picking up something here.

CTO_Hunter says:

*OPS* Thank you.

CIV_Adrel says:
CSO: Let me see that...

CSO_MacLeod says:
::smiles at FCO::

OPS_Shania says:
*CO* You want me to reroute him to the Ready Room?

CSO_MacLeod says:
XO: Each pass of sensors shows the object.  Perhaps it's a ship, but I can't say, because it's near from a star.

CTO_Hunter says:
::runs a status check on its department::

CEO_Taylor says:
*EO* You have been under my command for a while now and I will now leave you in command of ME. I want you to make sure that all primary systems are working at peek efficiency. Understood?

Host CO_Spencer says:
COM SB: Captain Red: Hello sir. Will make it brief, nothing noted except for a minor blip at the extreme sensor range has been at all found.. permission to investigate?

XO_OMallory says:
CSO: Do you need us to move in closer to verify?

FCO_Adams says:
::monitors the orbit attitude and makes a minor adjustment::

CIV_Adrel says:
CSO: I'll try to enhance and give more power to the sensors. But coming closer would help.

Host Capt_Red says:
@COM: Gryphon: Wait one, Captain.

EO_On says:
*CEO* Yes, I am aware of it

CSO_MacLeod says:

CIV: Let's try that. ::nods::

XO_OMallory says:
FCO: Move us within sensors range of the object on MacLeod’s sensors.

CIV_Adrel says:
::smiles:: CSO: At least we have something mysterious showing on sensors.

CSO_MacLeod says:
XO: Ok, I have its coordinates, sending them to FCO console. ::sends the coordinates::

CEO_Taylor says:
*EO* Good, if you have a problem, talk to either Valerie or me. I also want you to make reports often. You could start by making sure the sensors are working well, we need them to clear the blip we are having.

CNS_Llewellyn says:
@CO: I just got a mental slap from someone.... so someone is out there...

CIV_Adrel says:
XO/CSO: They may have had access to a SF database or a spy or ...

CSO_MacLeod says:
XO: Negative, commander.

CNS_Llewellyn says:
@::puts up her red ring and stars- her form of mental shielding::

CTO_Hunter says:
<K'lumsy>::finishes a diagnostic on the shields::

FCO_Adams says:
XO: I have a lock on the ion trail heading 324.45.

Host CO_Spencer says:
@CNS: Then block it out..
::looks at CEO:: Did you do something to her?:: raises eyebrow::

EO_On says:
*OPS* All right. Then, I might balance some power to normal status here.

MO_Turok says:
::Walks over to the XO::  XO: What is....::Calms down and tries again::  Sir, I would appreciate knowing the situation, so that I and my staff might be of assistance.

CSO_MacLeod says:
XO/CIV: It shows us lots of situations...  Perhaps the computer did record anything about taking shields down and then up, as soon they left.

CTO_Hunter says:
<K'lumsy>XO: Sir how ever they took the crew they did not effect the shields...they are and have been running as normal...

XO_OMallory says:
K'lumsy: I want to know that too.  Work on it.

CTO_Hunter says:
<Klumsy>XO: aye sir...

XO_OMallory says:
OPS: Mask the warp trail with a rotating shield frequency.  Make us look like space debris or something. I want to go in quiet.

OPS_Shania says:
XO: Aye Sir. ::starts working::

EO_On says:
::moving some sensors in order to keep the ship a top efficiency::

CEO_Taylor says:
@CO: No, it's their way of showing her not to mess around reaching around everywhere...

Host CO_Spencer says:
@::tired of it she goes to the door and starts to pound on the wall next to it:: Hello ::pond:: Hello ::pound::  HellOOOOO. ::pound pound::

Host CO_Spencer says:
@::looks back at CEO:: CEO: Then stop.

XO_OMallory says:
FCO: I want to keep on their tail, but not too close.  Understood?

CNS_Llewellyn says:
@CEO: Well you know all about these people, what do you expect next?

Host CO_Spencer says:
@::keeps pounding as she looks at CEO and waits for him to answer CNS::

CEO_Taylor says:
@CO: Stop what?

FCO_Adams says:
::frowns at the XO: XO: Aye sir.

CTO_Hunter says:
@::sits in the corner feeling useless and helpless....wonder how they managed to by pass the shields::

EO_On says:
*MO* I had my third officer faint, Is there anything I can do to help?

Host Tim says:
@ACTION: VOICE SOUNDS OVER SPEAKER IN ROOM

MO_Turok says:
::Tries again::  XO: Sir!  I would like to know hat is happening so that I and my staff might be of service.

FCO_Adams says:
XO: The ship is heading towards Betazed.

CNS_Llewellyn says:
@::listens::

Host CO_Spencer says:
@CEO: Stop.. 'reaching out'

XO_OMallory says:
FCO: I want to surprise them if we can...

CSO_MacLeod says:
XO/CIV: I'll check the shields logs, it'll take a minute.

CNS_Llewellyn says:
@CO: I did once I got the mental hit...

MO_Turok says:
::Sighs::  *EO* Someone will be there shortly, elevate their feet until the med tech arrives.

EO_On says:
*MO* Understood.

CEO_Taylor says:
@CNS: I... I don't know... this isn't usually like this... I guess they don't want me to know what's next..

CTO_Hunter says:
<K'lumsy>XO: Sir I think I found something.

XO_OMallory says:
*MO* Have your staff ready for 4 injured crew in case.  The Captain and 3 others have been taken.

Host CO_Spencer says:
@::stops pounding to listen::

Host Colleen says:
@All: Betazoids, welcome home.  Finally you have been freed from the Federation and you have once again rejoined your own people.

CSO_MacLeod says:
::checks the shields logs, trying to find something::

XO_OMallory says:
K'lumsy: What do you have?

OPS_Shania says:
::hopes that will work:: XO: I'm done. We will look like a freighter. That's the best I can do. But if they head for Betazed that should do since there will be other ships around as well so we shouldn't be drawing attention.

Host CO_Spencer says:
@::thinks, not me honey.. you have the wrong woman::

MO_Turok says:
*Sickbay* Send a med tech to engineering.  Some one has...fainted.

CNS_Llewellyn says:
@::Thinks: my own people are from earth...you nimwits::

CEO_Taylor says:
@::raises eyebrows:: ALL: That's Colleen's voice!

CTO_Hunter says:
<k'umsy>XO: Sir who ever beamed the away team knows the frequency range of Federation shields and rigged the transport to work around the shields.....Sir that would take an Engineer Officer.

Host Colleen says:
@CTO: Hunter, you have tactical data which is valuable to us.

Host CO_Spencer says:
::REB at CEO:: CEO: Who??

EO_On says:
::elevating Valerie’s feet as an order of the MO until the med tech arrives::

CEO_Taylor says:
@CO: Another one of the founders.

XO_OMallory says:
OPS: Good work.  ::turns to FCO:: FCO: Ok...drive us like a freighter::

Host CO_Spencer says:
@::winces as the voice continues::

CSO_MacLeod says:
::overhears K'lumsy comments and checks it with the logs::

CTO_Hunter says:
@::keeps his emotions in check and his mental shields up::

Host Colleen says:
@CNS: Heather, your telepathic skills combined with your witchery will make you an excellent addition to our family.

FCO_Adams says:
::squints at  O’Mallory:: XO: Sir?

EO_On says:
::sees the med tech arrives to ME and they are taking care of Valerie::

CIV_Adrel says:
CSO: Anything yet?

CSO_MacLeod says:
XO: Confirmed, the transport was done around the shields.

MO_Turok says:
XO: I see.  So someone has abducted the Captain and others.  What about the headaches and incapacitation, do you know the cause?

XO_OMallory says:
MO: Not yet, but I would like to know how it was done so we can be prepared.  Up to it?

Host CO_Spencer says:
@::thinks.. great.. oh just great. Taps her badge again praying::

CTO_Hunter says:
<k'lumsy>XO: If I hazard a guess the mission EO from Starbase 78 is on board that ship.

CSO_MacLeod says:
CIV: That's exactly what happened. ::scratches his chin:: Somehow they knew the frequency range...

CIV_Adrel says:
XO/CSO: If they worked around the shields, it means they really needed the people they beamed off... probably information or help?

XO_OMallory says:
FCO: Drive us like a freighter, with speeds like as one.

CTO_Hunter says:
<K'lumsy>XO: Sir I recommend locking out the CO, CEO, CTO and CNS access codes...

Host CO_Spencer says:
@::whispers to CTO:: CTO: Can they invade your minds? ::looks to CEO::

XO_OMallory says:
K'lumsy: I want the shield frequency changed and on a rotating basis.

Host Colleen says:
@CEO: As for you Mikkael, you have been separated from us far too long and your return will finally make this journey worth living.

MO_Turok says:
XO: Hmph!  Perhaps if you send the sensor data down to my office so I can see the potential cause, that might help.

CSO_MacLeod says:
XO/CIV: I bet on information...  Who would ask for help kidnapping people?

CEO_Taylor says:
@::Raises eyebrows:: Rejoin?

Host CO_Spencer says:
@::takes a defensive stance between her crew and the door::

FCO_Adams says:
::flies the Gryphon at reduced speed changing course slightly every few minutes::

CTO_Hunter says:
@::Whispers back:: CO: No Sir, during the war I learn how to create strong walls. The down side is when they are in place I cannot pick up anything mental...That work both ways.  They keep my thoughts in and others out.

XO_OMallory says:
MO: Get what you need from the science data banks and get to work.  I want a report as soon as possible.

MO_Turok says:
XO: Yes sir.  ::Turns and heads back to Sickbay::

CIV_Adrel says:
CSO: Well... forced help?

OPS_Shania says:
::checks systems to make sure their freighter mask is securely in place::

Host CO_Spencer says:
@::whispers:: CTO: I hope you are right.

EO_On says:
::sees Valerie recuperating and opening her eyes:: Valerie: Do not say anything now, you might need to rest. Here are the meds taking care of you.

CSO_MacLeod says:
CIV: I don't think so... Without trying to speak first?... ::thinks for a while::... no.   Let's run some scans on the sector.  We have to keep our eyes open.

CNS_Llewellyn says:
@::thinks: god I hate these people::

CTO_Hunter says:
@CO: The Dominion used traitors to probe our minds.  Mine was never breached...

CEO_Taylor says:
<Valerie> ::nods to EO::

XO_OMallory says:
CIV/CSO: What do each of the crew beamed off offer that is similar?

CSO_MacLeod says:
CIV: Huh... sir. ::smiles to CIV::

Host CO_Spencer says:
@::relief to hear that one::

Host Colleen says:
@CO: As for you...::repulsion is expressed:: Captain; you have been brought here to answer for your crimes.  Our family will be glad to give you absolution.

CEO_Taylor says:
@CTO: You've never seen their techniques...

CIV_Adrel says:
CSO: Yeah... well let's hope we get them back in time...

CSO_MacLeod says:
XO: Well... they are all Betazoids... except for Captain Spencer...

Host CO_Spencer says:
@Voice: Crimes against..... what? ::raises eyebrow::

CTO_Hunter says:
@CEO: I doubt they are any worse then the traitors during the war...::shudders at the memories::

XO_OMallory says:
CSO: Ok...anything else?

Host Tim says:
@<Colleen>All: We will soon be home where we will show you our potential.

CSO_MacLeod says:
XO/CIV: Which bring us a link to the Starbase problem...

Host Tim says:
ACTION: SPEAKER GOES DEAD

CIV_Adrel says:
XO: I'm checking the database to find a link between them

CSO_MacLeod says:
::looks at CIV:: CIV: No need for that, Commander... I know them very well. ::smiles::

Host CO_Spencer says:
@::Not a happy woman:: ALL: OK... first off  CEO: DO you know what she is referring to.. crimes?

EO_On says:
::helps standing up Valerie:: Valerie: You might go to sickbay.

CNS_Llewellyn says:
@::listens closely, feels for the captain::

Host CO_Spencer says:
@::paces the room, trying to think::

CEO_Taylor says:
@CO: The Minions have a very strict code of laws.

FCO_Adams says:
::checks on their ETA to the other ship::

CSO_MacLeod says:
XO: Except for their own capabilities, nothing else.  An Engineer, A Tactical Officer, A Counselor with Medical training and our Captain.

CTO_Hunter says:
<Klumsy>XO: In addition to rotating frequency I recommend extending shield generator out puts and having them on different frequencies.

Host CO_Spencer says:
@CEO: Is there anyway that my thoughts are right now being... invaded?

CEO_Taylor says:
@CO: It depends, if there are people right next to the door's other side, they could read your mind, yes.

CEO_Taylor says:
@CO: Harboring Betazoids on a ship that has more non-Betazoids than Betazoids is seen as a crime...

CIV_Adrel says:
XO/CSO: The Captain would make a great hostage though they would have asked for a ransom or something... ::hears the CSO and stops going through the database::

CNS_Llewellyn says:
@::sighs::

CTO_Hunter says:
@::looks at the CEO::CEO: You have to be joking?

Host CO_Spencer says:
@CEO: Ah... I see.

XO_OMallory says:
ALL: Ok, I want as many answers as we can have before we reach this ship.  Do what it takes to get our people back alive.  I will not take NO for an answer.  Understood?

XO_OMallory says:
::still feels some of the headache::

CSO_MacLeod says:
XO: Aye, sir.

MO_Turok says:
::Arrives at sickbay and begins downloading sensor data.  The staff gathers around and he briefs them on what little he knows::

CNS_Llewellyn says:
@CEO: What made the Minions become this way.... why do they hate non-Betazoids?

CEO_Taylor says:
@CTO: Don't laugh... I was one to approve of this law... ::is ashamed::

FCO_Adams says:
::notices that the ion trial fades and then reappears::

CTO_Hunter says:
@::Stares at the CEO:::

CIV_Adrel says:
CSO: Then we better do some more digging of information....

CSO_MacLeod says:
XO/CIV: What concerns me is, why the heck they had to take our Captain?  She's not part of the "group".

XO_OMallory says:
FCO: Time to intercept?

FCO_Adams says:
XO: Still about 20 standard hours away.

CNS_Llewellyn says:
@::hears CEO, extends her ring to surround the CO::

XO_OMallory says:
CSO: A good hostage to bargain with, I assume.

Host CO_Spencer says:
@All: I feel this is a good time to remind. ::does not want to say this:: Any information given to these terrorists to grant our release is a direct violation, we do not agree nor negotiate.

CTO_Hunter says:
@CO: Try thinking of something that will invoke lots of emotion...Fear, Anger, Joy what ever...clear your mind of everything else and think of only that.

Host CO_Spencer says:
@CTO: Thanks... ::blinks:: I shall think of hmmmm…

MO_Turok says:
::The unaffected nurse puts two and two together, as she is a Betazoid.::

CIV_Adrel says:
CSO/XO: I doubt we will be able to find why until we find them...

CSO_MacLeod says:
CIV: I agree...

CEO_Taylor says:
@CO: Also, going after a Minion ship is not a good thing to do, in the Minion code of law of course.

CNS_Llewellyn says:
@CO: I have placed you under my protection on the astral and mental realms.

XO_OMallory says:
FCO: Keep us at current speed.  Don't give us away...yet

CSO_MacLeod says:
XO: Do you believe we can be dealing with the Betazoid dissident group?

FCO_Adams says:
XO: Yes Commander, keeping at freighter speeds.

XO_OMallory says:
CSO: Right now...we need to keep all possibilities open.

MO_Turok says:
Staff: Alright, now we know what we need to do.  We need to devise a defense against this weapon.  Let's get to work.

XO_OMallory says:
<Press> MO: Aye sir.

CEO_Taylor says:
@CO: Let's just hope that the Gryphon can get here before we get to our destination.

CNS_Llewellyn says:
@::thinks: Rhiannon, Cernnunnos - lend me your power and Strength::

CSO_MacLeod says:
FCO: Cassie, I noticed a faint on ion trail, do you still have it on NAV sensors?

FCO_Adams says:
::watches Adrel and Mackie:: CSO: It's fading in and out but I still have it Lt.

CSO_MacLeod says:
XO: Aye, commander.  We'll keep sensors at full power and running.

CIV_Adrel says:
FCO/CSO: They will probably try to mix us up so that we don't find them...

FCO_Adams says:
CIV: I can find them never fear....

Host CO_Spencer says:
@CEO: I second that one. ::hopes the Gryphon stays far enough away to not get trapped into giving up more of their crew::

XO_OMallory says:
CSO: Do we have more data on that ship?

CSO_MacLeod says:
XO: Negative, still unidentified.  We have to get closer to get a reading.

CIV_Adrel says:
FCO: I am not doubting you... but I know they will try.

CTO_Hunter says:
@::begins to mediate::

XO_OMallory says:
::feels the pressure of finding the missing crew in time::

Host CO_Spencer says:
@::rubs her com badge and wishes she had tried the raw grasshoppers that Turok offered her::

CSO_MacLeod says:
::smiles at FCO's comment::

FCO_Adams says:
::smirks over at Adrel::

CSO_MacLeod says:
FCO: I know you can. ::winks at her::

CNS_Llewellyn says:
@::stands next to CO::

Host CO_Spencer says:
@::smiles at CNS:: CNS: I wish I could say do not worry..

FCO_Adams says:
::is so glad that  Mauro is safe ::

CNS_Llewellyn says:
@CO: I have a cancer moon, I worry by nature. ::smiles::

Host CO_Spencer says:
@CNS: Good girl. ::winks::

MO_Turok says:
::He and the staff begin working on a defense to the Minion weapon.  Samples of the Betazoid nurse's blood are taken::

Host Tim says:
