U.S.S. Luna mission

In League with Aging Republics   Part Two

Stardate 10108.05

Host Chris_N says:
SYNOPSIS: While participating in a diplomatic dinner on DS21 with pompous, nosey, and a just plain Klingon Ambassador, the crew of the Luna is soon dispatched on a rescue mission to save a Finotan freighter from attackers.

Before departure, the Finotan Ambassador insists on coming along with his aides for obvious reasons, as well does the Ambassador for the Laquona, presumably to get a closer look at the interior of these Federation vessels.

With the Starfleet crew finally underway at warp speed and in Red Alert status, they attend to their duties while traveling to the last reported location of the Finotan ship.

CSO_Brehgorn says:
::at science, initiating a program that keeps a constant scan, covering a wide array of phase variations, for triolic activity aboard the Luna::

Host CO_Merced says:
FCO: What is our ETA?

Host Tioron_Auples says:
::loiters around behind the CTO, trying to peer over his shoulder::

Host Chris_N says:
<FCO> CO: 4 minutes 34 seconds sir

CTO-Duvas says:
:: takes his position at TAC 1::

Host AMB_Hinta_Vreidiri says:
::looks around his quarters disdainfully::

CNS_Luchena says:
AMB Vreidiri:  Is there anything else you need?

CEO_Jokeg says:
::down in Engineering, barking out orders::If anything breaks that is not caused by Torpedo or Phaser fire...

CSO_Brehgorn says:
::with the program initiated, runs a sensor scan of the point of destination::

Host AMB_Hinta_Vreidiri says:
::sniffs:: CNS: Besides a bomb to put this hovel out of it's misery?

Host Tioron_Auples says:
CTO: Any sign of that ship?

CSO_Brehgorn says:
::broadens range of sensor scans to include LRS::

Host CO_Merced says:
FCO: Thank you.  

CEO_Jokeg says:
*CO*: Captain, Jokeg here, all systems are operating normally.

CNS_Luchena says:
::smiles diplomatically::  AMB:  I'm on my way to the bridge.  Did you want to accompany me?

Host AMB_Hinta_Vreidiri says:
::waves his scented handkerchief under his nose, which is fastidiously wrinkled::

CMO_Ravenprowler says:
:: calls her second over and instructs him that she is going to the bridge to get a first hand look at the freighter and he has Sickbay.::

Host CO_Merced says:
*CEO* Thank you  Commander.

CTO-Duvas says:
::Turns to the Ambassador:: Tioron: I have an unknown vessel drifting on sensors now.

CMO_Ravenprowler says:
:: leaves Sickbay and enters the TL, Deck One.::

CTO-Duvas says:
::Switches over to LRS::

Host CO_Merced says:
::listens::  CTO: Put it on screen.

Host Tioron_Auples says:
CTO: Oh...how far?

CTO-Duvas says:
::Puts the vessel upon the view screen::

CSO_Brehgorn says:
::runs the ship through the computer to try and get a tag::

CEO_Jokeg says:
::takes a PADD from an Engineer::EO: Excellent, put Damage control on alert. 

Host AMB_Hinta_Vreidiri says:
::nods imperiously and turns to his aides barking orders. Picking up his little emiria, Puufee, he follows the CNS from the room::

Host Chris_N says:
ACTION: As the viewscreen illuminates, a vessel which Ambassador Auples recognizes as Finotan is drifting helplessly through space

Host CO_Merced says:
Auples:  Ambassador, if you would like to take a seat, gesturing to the seat next to him usually reserved for the XO::

CMO_Ravenprowler says:
:: enters the bridge, meets the Captain's eye and says : Sir, permission to see the freighter first hand.:

CNS_Luchena says:
::approaches TL and waits for the AMB to enter first::

Host AMB_Hinta_Vreidiri says:
::steps in with a sniff::

CSO_Brehgorn says:
::scans for signs of damage on the freighter, and for other ships in the system::

CNS_Luchena says:
TL:  Bridge

Host CO_Merced says:
::looks at the doctor::  CMO:  Perfect timing.  I would like you at OPS to give me your opinion on what has happened here.

Host Tioron_Auples says:
CO: I prefer to stand, thank you, Captain...::smiles an oily smile::

CSO_Brehgorn says:
::also scans for lifeforms::

CNS_Luchena says:
::smiles at the ambassador just to annoy him::

CTO-Duvas says:
Tioron_Auples: It’s on the outer reaches of our SRS.

CMO_Ravenprowler says:
CO : Aye, Sir,:  :: moves to take her station and begins scans for life signs ::

CNS_Luchena says:
*CO*:  I'm on my way to the bridge with AMB Vreidiri.

Host AMB_Hinta_Vreidiri says:
::looks back rather coldly::

Host Tioron_Auples says:
CTO: And how strong do your sensors have to be for that?

CTO-Duvas says:
::Begins to scan for any other vessels in the area::

Host CO_Merced says:
Auples:  I understand the preference, but your not being seated gives my crew something else to concern themselves with if we should find ourselves in a bit of action, and they cannot afford the distraction.  ::again gestures to the seat::

CSO_Brehgorn says:
CO:  I'm picking up scattered lifeforms aboard the freighter.

CNS_Luchena says:
::TL doors open onto the bridge.  Gestures for AMB Vreidiri to precede him::

CTO-Duvas says:
CO_Merced: Suggest caution in approach.

Host AMB_Hinta_Vreidiri says:
::gives Puufee a treat::

Host Chris_N says:
<FCO> CO: Sir, we're closing on the vessel.  I'm dropping to sublight speeds

Host AMB_Hinta_Vreidiri says:
::steps onto the bridge::

CEO_Jokeg says:
::walks into his office, walking over to a display, double-checking the shield generators::

CTO-Duvas says:
Tioron_Auples: We can scan up to 10 light years with SRS.

Host Tioron_Auples says:
CO: Captain, I'm sure you are aware that we all have a vested interest in finding this vessel.  I will remain, thank you.

Host AMB_Hinta_Vreidiri says:
::is not impressed::

Host CO_Merced says:
CTO: Of course Ensign.  Yellow alert is sufficient for now.

CNS_Luchena says:
AMB Vreidiri:  Would you please have a seat over there.  ::gestures to an empty, out of the way chair::

CSO_Brehgorn says:
CO:  I'm picking up scattered lifeforms aboard the freighter, perhaps we should open a channel

Host CO_Merced says:
Auples: I would prefer not to make this request an order.

Host CO_Merced says:
CMO: Hail the ship.

Host Tioron_Auples says:
CO: I would prefer not to turn this into a diplomatic issue, Captain.

Host AMB_Hinta_Vreidiri says:
::raises a brow:: CNS: I think not. I shall sit where I can watch.

CEO_Jokeg says:
<EO_Akers>::walks into Jokeg's office::CEO: Sir? Are we going to be combat?::a worried expression on her face::

CMO_Ravenprowler says:
:: sends out a hail on all know finotan frequencies::

Host AMB_Hinta_Vreidiri says:
::takes an entirely different seat::

CNS_Luchena says:
AMB Vreidiri:  Please stay out of the way, Sir.

Host AMB_Hinta_Vreidiri says:
::nods imperiously at the Captain::

Host Tioron_Auples says:
::snorts at the arrival of Vreidiri::

CNS_Luchena says:
::rolls eyes and turns attention to Auples::

Host AMB_Hinta_Vreidiri says:
::ignores the little weasel totally::

CEO_Jokeg says:
::looks up, seeing her expression::EO: Ensign? Have you never been in a combat situation?

Host Chris_N says:
<Finotan CO> COMM: Luna:  <Zzzt...>  Thank the makers you scared them off.  We have 8 <zzzzt> and 5 more severely injured.   <crackle> Please help us.

Host CO_Merced says:
Auples: That is your choice Ambassador.  Starfleet regulations insist I seek your safety above your wishes.  If you will not sit, I will be forced to ask you to leave the bridge.  Please do not make this difficult for us.

Host CO_Merced says:
CTO: Any other ships on sensors?

CEO_Jokeg says:
<EO>CEO: Well in the simulator, not for real.

CTO-Duvas says:
CO_Merced: Scanning now.

CNS_Luchena says:
Auples:  Here is a good place to watch.  ::gestures towards a chair::

CSO_Brehgorn says:
::locks down coordinates of lifeforms aboard the freighter::

CTO-Duvas says:
CO_Merced: Nothing on Sensors.

Host Tioron_Auples says:
CO: Fine.  Have it your way.  But I will NOT sit next to THAT...::gestures to Vreidiri::

Host AMB_Hinta_Vreidiri says:
::watches as the weasel argues with the rather odorific captain::

CMO_Ravenprowler says:
:: eyes the CO, nods at him at the injury call.::

CNS_Luchena says:
::points again to a chair someway away from Vreidiri::

Host CO_Merced says:
CMO: Doctor, get a copy of the vessel's layout and report to Transporter Room 1 for away mission.

CMO_Ravenprowler says:
CO: Sir, permission to transport the injured to Sickbay.:

CTO-Duvas says:
::Summons the security team to the bridge for just in case the Captain wants the AMB removed::

Host Chris_N says:
<Finotan CO> COMM: Luna:  I repeat.... <Zzzt...>  Thank the makers you scared them off.  We have 8 <zzzzt> and 5 more severely injured.   <crackle> Please help us.

CEO_Jokeg says:
EO: You will be fine, just remember your training.::looks back down at the display, seeing the green indicator on the display signaling that all shield generators are operating normally::

Host AMB_Hinta_Vreidiri says:
::instructs Puufee to bite him should he try to sit nearby, in a rather loud voice::

Host CO_Merced says:
COMM: Finotan: We are preparing to beam over to assist.  What is your status?

CMO_Ravenprowler says:
CO: Aye, Sir. : :: Slaves her station to the CSO and moves quickly off the bridge.::

CNS_Luchena says:
::looks at the Puufee creature and wonders what the heck it is::

Host CO_Merced says:
CSO: Any signs of weapon discharge?

Host Tioron_Auples says:
CO: not worthy of rescue, that's their status....

Host AMB_Hinta_Vreidiri says:
::waves the handkerchief once again::

CMO_Ravenprowler says:
:: enters the TL, Deck 8::

Host AMB_Hinta_Vreidiri says:
::stands::

CTO-Duvas says:
::Turns and notes that his security teams have arrived on the bridge and taken their positions::

Host Chris_N says:
<Finotan CO> COMM: Luna: Our ship is severely <crackle> and life support is failing.

Host AMB_Hinta_Vreidiri says:
CO: I beg to differ, Commander. My people must be saved. It is your duty!

CEO_Jokeg says:
<EO>::nods, going back to her duties::

CMO_Ravenprowler says:
:: exits the TL, enters Sickbay, get her med bag from her office, straps her taj to her ankle, slings her bat.leth over her shoulder and moves back to the TL::

Host CO_Merced says:
*CEO* Commander I would like you to lead an away team to the Finotan freighter.  The CMO will join you in transporter room 1.  Choose whomever else you wish.

CTO-Duvas says:
::Scans the area of possible signs of a warp trail signatures::

CNS_Luchena says:
AMB Vreidiri/Auples:  If you gentlemen will remain seated, we can begin our beverage service.

Host AMB_Hinta_Vreidiri says:
::looks down his imperial nose at Auples:: CO: He has no authority over his betters!

Host CO_Merced says:
COMM: Finotan: We are sending people over now.  How long till life support fails?

CSO_Brehgorn says:
CO:  The ship has suffered heavy fire...weapons signatures don't match anything in the databanks.

CMO_Ravenprowler says:
:: exits the TL and enters the Transporter room, taps her comm badge::

Host Chris_N says:
<Finotan CO> COMM: Luna: Please hurry before they return with reinforcements

CTO-Duvas says:
CO_Merced: Shall I go with on away team?

Host CO_Merced says:
AMBS: Gentlemen, if you do not stop your bickering I will have you both removed from the bridge for impeding the efforts to rescue these people.

CSO_Brehgorn says:
::doesn't like the sound of that::

Host Chris_N says:
<Finotan CO> COMM: Luna: I'm not sure.  Our Chief Engineer is among the dead.  <zzztt>  <crackle>

CEO_Jokeg says:
*CO*: Aye sir. Would like to take Lt Brehgorn if he is available, he can assist me in determining what happened over there.::signals a few Engineers to join him enroute to the TR::

Host CO_Merced says:
CSO: Extend sensors to the limits, I want to know the instant something appears.

CMO_Ravenprowler says:
*Sickbay*: This is Dr. Ravenprower, I am going to the freighter,  you are to stand ready to commence med ops, Ravenprowler out.:

Host Tioron_Auples says:
CO: I'm not impeding your rescue attempt, Captain.  I'm just telling you it's not worth doing, that's all....

CSO_Brehgorn says:
CO:  Aye sir.  ::adjusts LRS to maximum range, keeping a constant eye on the readings::

Host CO_Merced says:
*CEO* ::nodding to the CSO:: Lt. Brehgorn is on his way.

Host AMB_Hinta_Vreidiri says:
::looks down his nose and straight into the humans beady little eyes:: CO: I do not bicker, my dear man. My job is to save my people, even if it means dealing with the likes of him. ::sits down regally::

Host CO_Merced says:
COMM: Finotan: Who attacked you?

CEO_Jokeg says:
*CO*: Thank you sir.

CNS_Luchena says:
Auples:  Sir, would you please stop distracting the Captain.  I will see that your objections are noted.

CNS_Luchena says:
::notices Vreidiri sit::

CSO_Brehgorn says:
::gives his station to Ensign Malkovich and heads for the TL::

CEO_Jokeg says:
::both Engineers grab kits then head off to TR1::

CMO_Ravenprowler says:
:: taps her foot impatiently as she paces around the transporter room::

Host AMB_Hinta_Vreidiri says:
::ruffles Puufees feathers and tickles his furry little chin absently::

Host CO_Merced says:
Vreidiri: Does this seem consistent with previous reports of the 'pirate' activity?

Host Chris_N says:
<Finotan CO> COMM: Luna: It was three Laquona vessels.  Please hurry.  The air is getting thin

CSO_Brehgorn says:
::exits TL and heads for TR1::

Host AMB_Hinta_Vreidiri says:
::nods grimly:: CO: It does not.

CEO_Jokeg says:
::enters the TR room::CMO: Doctor...::opening the weapons locker, handing out phasers::

Host Tioron_Auples says:
CNS: Whatever you say.

Host CO_Merced says:
::turns to eye the laquonan ambassador:: COMM: Finotan: Our people are on their way.

CTO-Duvas says:
::taps his combadge to notify the away team to take rebreathers::

CMO_Ravenprowler says:
:: never touches a phaser

CSO_Brehgorn says:
::enters TR1...grabs a phaser and a tricorder::

CMO_Ravenprowler says:
:: taps her bat'leth:: and nods at Jokeg::

Host CO_Merced says:
*CEO* Commander.  Have the doctor start sending those that are stable to sickbay.  Stabilize the ship's functions and assess damage as best possible.

Host AMB_Hinta_Vreidiri says:
::looks around sourly for his beverage::

CEO_Jokeg says:
::hears Duvas, grabs rebreathers and hands them out::

Host CO_Merced says:
CTO: Are you able to uplink with their ship's computer?

CEO_Jokeg says:
*CO*: Yes sir.

CNS_Luchena says:
AMB Vreidiri:  Can I get you something?

CMO_Ravenprowler says:
:: puts on her rebreather, tightens the straps and heads for the transporter pad::

CSO_Brehgorn says:
::places the apparatus over his mouth::

CSO_Brehgorn says:
::walks onto the transporter pad::

CTO-Duvas says:
CO_Merced: Trying now. ::Opens a com link to the other ships computer::

CEO_Jokeg says:
::steps on the TR padd::*CO*: We are ready sir.

Host Tioron_Auples says:
CNS: You can get her off this ship....

CNS_Luchena says:
Auples:  Not within my power.  Would you like a beverage?

Host AMB_Hinta_Vreidiri says:
CNS: A glass of Chiviasti 20632, chilled to 10 degrees Celsius with a twist of limquat.

CTO-Duvas says:
CO_Merced: I've got a connection but it’s not steady. Possible do to the damage they have sustained.

Host CO_Merced says:
Vreidiri/Auples: Gentlemen, it appears all that can be seen has been.  If you would like to retire to the lounge I will send you reports on our findings as data becomes available.

CNS_Luchena says:
ABM Vreidiri:  I'll see what our replicators can do.

Host Tioron_Auples says:
CO: If you don't mind, Captain, I need to stay here, and ensure that everything is done to my satisfaction...

CEO_Jokeg says:
TRChief: Beam us directly to the bridge of their ship. Energize.

Host AMB_Hinta_Vreidiri says:
::studiously ignores the Captain::

CEO_Jokeg says:
<TRChief>::nods and executes::

Host CO_Merced says:
::leaves the command area to stand near the CTO:: CTO: ::softly:: Download as much of their sensor data as possible.  I would like to get verification on the identity of the attackers.

Host Chris_N says:
ACTION: The Away Team materializes on a smoke filled compact bridge

CMO_Ravenprowler says:
@::scans for lifesigns::

CNS_Luchena says:
::goes to a replicator and gets Vreidiri an approximation of what he wants to drink::

CTO-Duvas says:
::Nods to the CO and starts to gather as much data as he can before the link goes dead::

CEO_Jokeg says:
@::looks around soon as they materialize::

Host CO_Merced says:
Auples: You can be assured that we will pursue this matter with extreme care and thoroughness.

Host AMB_Hinta_Vreidiri says:
::crosses his legs::

CSO_Brehgorn says:
@::materializes on the ships bridge...moves to a console and tries to ascertain the nature of the attack on the freighter::

CEO_Jokeg says:
@All: Ok we know what to do, let's get to it.

CTO-Duvas says:
CO_Merced: We have 4 incoming vessels on sensors.

Host Tioron_Auples says:
CO: And, as the ambassador for my people, I need to ensure that it is.

Host CO_Merced says:
CTO:  Identity? ::looking at the screen::

CTO-Duvas says:
CO_Merced: Scanning them now.

CMO_Ravenprowler says:
@:: moves to the nearest lifesigns, looking for a body::

CEO_Jokeg says:
@Engineers: Head to Engineering and start on repairs, I'll join you soon as possible.

CNS_Luchena says:
::hands the drink to Vreidiri::  AMB:  I could probably make you a real one down in the lounge.  ::looks hopefully at him::

CSO_Brehgorn says:
@::simultaneously tries to bring life support back to 100%::

CTO-Duvas says:
CO_Merced: Unknown vessels. Suggest red alert and extend our shields to the freighter.

Host AMB_Hinta_Vreidiri says:
CNS: Puufee needs to relieve himself. ::hands the animal to the CNS::

Host CO_Merced says:
COMM: CEO: Commander, we have incoming.  Do your best to get the injured over quickly then come back yourself.  The ship may have to wait.

CNS_Luchena says:
::looks at the creature in his arms with some alarm::

Host CO_Merced says:
CTO: Distance?

CEO_Jokeg says:
@::hears the Captain and curses::All: Change of plans, get the wounded ready to move!

CSO_Brehgorn says:
@::Overhears the CO's message and abandons his efforts to help the CMO gather injured::

CEO_Jokeg says:
@*Engineers*: Get back up here!

CMO_Ravenprowler says:
@:: moves debris out of the way and finds a finotan male bleeding profusely::

CTO-Duvas says:
CO_Merced: Distance is 14 light years and coming in a warp 8.4.

CEO_Jokeg says:
@COM: CO: How much time do we have Captain?

CSO_Brehgorn says:
@::finds two injured just outside the bridge::  *Transp Chief*  Two Finoran's to beam directly to sickbay.

Host CO_Merced says:
CTO: Hail them.

CNS_Luchena says:
CO:  Ummm....  sure.  ::puts Puufee on the AMB chair and tells it to stay::

CSO_Brehgorn says:
@CMO: Did we find them all?

CEO_Jokeg says:
@::the Engineers find three seriously hurt, has them transported back directly to Sickbay::

COMM: Combat: You have the advantage.  You are?

CMO_Ravenprowler says:
@:: leans heavily on the wound, and nods to the CSO::

CSO_Brehgorn says:
@CEO:  Looks like we've got all injured, shall we beam back, sir?

Host Tioron_Auples says:
::shifts in his seat::

Host AMB_Hinta_Vreidiri says:

CTO-Duvas says:
CO_Merced: aye sir.

CMO_Ravenprowler says:
:: grabs several mesquito clamps and begins to clamp off bleeders in the abdomen and chest::

Host Tioron_Auples says:
:;self:: Oh, this is insanity...

Host CO_Merced says:
COMM: Combat: We are still working to discover that, and will share whatever data we retrieve.

CSO_Brehgorn says:
::enters Bridge and relieves Ensign Malkovich of the science station::

CTO-Duvas says:
::Opens a com to the Freighter:: COMM: *CEO_Jokeg*: The captain says to continue your work in repairing the ship.

CMO_Ravenprowler says:
:: starts two wide bore lines infusing saline wide open as she struggles to control the bleeding::

Host CO_Merced says:
CSO: The CTO has recovered some sensor data from the freighter's computer.  See what you can determine about what happened here.

CEO_Jokeg says:
::looks around, hearing Duvas, can't help but to laugh::Engineers: Lets go.::they are laughing as well::

CEO_Jokeg says:
*CTO*: On our way back.

CTO-Duvas says:
::Transfers what data he has to the CSO station::

CSO_Brehgorn says:
CO: Aye, sir.  ::starts analyzing the freighters data::

CMO_Ravenprowler says:
:: the other patients each have a trauma team working on them, and everything seems to be moving with absolute precision::

CTO-Duvas says:
*CEO*: Have you finished repairs to the Freighter?

CEO_Jokeg says:
::steps back into TR 2, the chief gives them a funny look::TRChief: Don't ask...just beam.

Host AMB_Hinta_Vreidiri says:
CO: I demand to know the condition of my people!

Host Tioron_Auples says:
Vreidiri: Can't you take your....animal somewhere else?

Host Chris_N says:
<Finotan Captain> COMM: Luna: We will be at your location in 9 minutes.  I expect answers by then

Host CO_Merced says:
COMM: Combat: By the way Captain.  It seems you USIDs are not functioning correctly.  We were unable to determine your identity before hailing you.

CSO_Brehgorn says:
::whispers:: CO:  The freighter data seems to confirm what the Captain has been saying.

Host AMB_Hinta_Vreidiri says:
::turns his head slowly::

CEO_Jokeg says:
*CTO*: We understood it to be a hostile situation, got the wounded off and returned, we are on the way back.

Host AMB_Hinta_Vreidiri says:
Auples: Why should I? They allow you to stay here don't they?

Host CO_Merced says:
::extends a low hand to the CSO to gently pause him::

CMO_Ravenprowler says:

CNS_Luchena says:
Vreidiri:  Would you like to go to sickbay and check on them?

CEO_Jokeg says:
@::materializes in the freighters ME::Let's go to work.

Host Chris_N says:
<Finotan Captain> COMM: Luna: Very likely because you are new to our section of space Captain.

Host Tioron_Auples says:
Vreidiri:  Yes, but unlike you and your animal, they can tell the difference between me and my pet.

CTO-Duvas says:
*CEO*: It is Finoat ships on their way.

CSO_Brehgorn says:
::goes back to double-check the freighter data::

Host CO_Merced says:
AMBs: Sirs, I would ask now that you retire to the lounge, or your quarters so that my crew may work on investigating this matter.

Host AMB_Hinta_Vreidiri says:
Auples: That is only because your pet smells better than you do!

:: rolls the patient into surgery, her hands covered in blood, and hands him off to the Trauma surgeon, as she moves to check the other patients in Sickbay.::

CNS_Luchena says:
Auples:  I believe the Captain asked you to leave the bridge.

Host AMB_Hinta_Vreidiri says:
::rises regally and hands Puufee to the CNS:: CNS: We will see to our people and then return. You may hold Puufee.

CNS_Luchena says:
::willing to hold the damn animal if it will get Vreidiri off the bridge::

CEO_Jokeg says:
@Engineers: Both of you get started on the Environmental controls, I'll work on the Power Grid.

Host CO_Merced says:
::smiles gratefully at the counselor::  AMBs:  Please sir.  My people suffer distraction when in the presence of such a strong personality.

Host AMB_Hinta_Vreidiri says:

Host Chris_N says:
<Finotan Captain> COMM: Luna: I am not in the business of transmitting the identification of every vessel in our military.  For all we know you could be here to conquer us.  Please feel free to make a request of our government.  ::closes channel::

Host Tioron_Auples says:
::starts to peer over the CTO's shoulder again::

Host Tioron_Auples says:
CNS: I warned him that doing so would spark a diplomatic incident, COUNSELOR....

CMO_Ravenprowler says:
:: goes to the sink takes a long deep breath as she scrubs the blood from her hands, intently watching over the care of the injured in her Sickbay.::

Host CO_Merced says:
::eyes the now blank viewscreen::  Self: pleasant chap.

CNS_Luchena says:
::tucks Puufee under his arm and goes over to Auples::  Auples:  May I show you to our lounge?  It’s very nice.

CEO_Jokeg says:
@::punches up the ships sensors, tries to find out what happened::

Host Tioron_Auples says:
::looks down at Luchena::  CNS: No.  I think I shall remain here.  This tactical information looks quite fascinating.

Host CO_Merced says:
::moves over to the CSO, hoping the Ambs will leave soon:: CSO: ::softly::  You were saying about the sensor data?

Host AMB_Hinta_Vreidiri says:
::thinks the CNS should be careful of Puufee's beak::

CNS_Luchena says:
Vreidiri:  Did you need an escort to sickbay?

CSO_Brehgorn says:
CO:  the sensor data seems to confirm that what the friendly Captain said was the truth.

Host AMB_Hinta_Vreidiri says:
::looks at the CO:: CO: A moment, Commander?

CEO_Jokeg says:
@COM: CSO: I have accessed the ships sensor logs, I am sending them your way now.

Host CO_Merced says:
CSO: So this attack was made by laquonans?

CEO_Jokeg says:
@::watches the log unfold the battle::

CNS_Luchena says:
::sighs and contemplates summoning a security team to "escort" the Ambassadors elsewhere::

Host Chris_N says:
ACTION: The four Finotan Battleships drop out of warp less than 6000 kilometers from the Luna and the Finotan freighter

Host CO_Merced says:
::turns:: Vreidiri: How may I help you Ambassador?

CSO_Brehgorn says:
CO:  The data the CEO retrieved certainly seems to suggest that, sir...more data is incoming.  I'll let you know if anything suggests otherwise.

CTO-Duvas says:
CO_Merced: sir the Finotan ships are here.

Host Tioron_Auples says:
::hears the Captain talk::  CO: What was that?

CEO_Jokeg says:
@COM: CSO: The freighter didn't have a chance, they left as soon as they detected us.

Host CO_Merced says:
CSO: ::nods::  Correlate that with the data from previous attacks.

CSO_Brehgorn says:
::begins sifting through the new data::

Host AMB_Hinta_Vreidiri says:
::lowers his voice:: CO: I would advise you not allow that slime to examine your ship so closely. Things have a tendency to disappear when he is around.

CSO_Brehgorn says:
::runs a computer query comparing data from this attack to existing data of previous pirate attacks for similarities::

CEO_Jokeg says:
@::hears a whoosh as they environmental systems kick in::

CMO_Ravenprowler says:
:: moves silently around Sickbay observing the care and progress of the injured, peeks through the observation window at the surgery in progress. all seems to be well in hand, she sneaks to her office and puts away her bat'leth and taj, kissing them both as she leaves her office to resume her duties.::

CNS_Luchena says:
::pets Puufee::

Host CO_Merced says:
::smiles with forbearance:: Vreidiri:  Would you like to visit your own battleships once they arrive?

CEO_Jokeg says:
@<Engineers>*CEO*: We have repaired the Life support systems.

Host Tioron_Auples says:
Veridiri:  I heard that.  Do you want to start right now, you pig?

Host AMB_Hinta_Vreidiri says:
::sniff:: CO: Of course.

CNS_Luchena says:
::could cut the tension in here with a knife::

CEO_Jokeg says:
@*Engineers*: Excellent work, start on propulsion.::goes to work in the power grid::

Host AMB_Hinta_Vreidiri says:
::looks around:: Auples: Oh, has your dear mother arrived Ambassador?

Host CO_Merced says:
::more genuine smile:: Vreidiri:  You are in luck, they are here.  CNS: Counselor, would you please assist the ambassador in transferring to the lead battleship?

Host Chris_N says:
<Finotan Captain> COMM: Luna: Captain, have you been able to determine the attackers of our vessel?

CNS_Luchena says:
Vreidiri:  Would you please follow me to the transporter room?

Host Tioron_Auples says:
::snorts::

Host AMB_Hinta_Vreidiri says:
::shakes his head:: CO: Not necessary. The captains will report to me in your office.

CNS_Luchena says:
::eyes widen::

CNS_Luchena says:
To self:  In the Captain's office?

CEO_Jokeg says:
@::pulls off a panel, starts repairing relays::

CSO_Brehgorn says:
::whispers:: CO:  All data collected suggests it was a laquonan attack.

Host AMB_Hinta_Vreidiri says:
::regally sweeps from the room and enters the Captain's RR::

Host CO_Merced says:
::takes a deep breath:: COMM: Combat: Not as yet Captain.  As you know, sifting through sensor data is a tedious business.  However, the Finotan ambassador is looking to transfer to your ship.  He will be ready shortly.

CTO-Duvas says:
CO_Merced: Shall I stand us down from Yellow alert?

CNS_Luchena says:
::still holding Puufee and looking shocked::

Host CO_Merced says:
::eyes the CTO::  CTO: Not yet.  ::sighs::

Host AMB_Hinta_Vreidiri says:
::sits in the rather rickety chair::

CTO-Duvas says:
::Nods:: CO: Yes sir.

CEO_Jokeg says:
@::one of the Engineers come up::CEO: Sir the Fusion reactors are shot, best we can do is 2/3 impulse, they can tow it faster.

CNS_Luchena says:
CO:  Ummm, sir... the AMB is not going to the ship.  He's in your Ready room.  ::looks sheepish::

CMO_Ravenprowler says:
:: steps up to assist in a subclavian line placement giving a young MO trouble.  Winking at him that is it ok, he is doing fine.::

Host CO_Merced says:
CTO: Provide assistance to the Counselor.  I want the ambassadors off my bridge.  Diplomatic incident or no.

Host Chris_N says:
<Finotan Captain> COMM: Luna: Very well.  We will be transporting our own people aboard the freighter shortly.  Please remove your crew from it.  By the way, were there any survivors?

Host AMB_Hinta_Vreidiri says:
*CNS*: Please have Puufee fed and watered and then brought to me.

Host AMB_Hinta_Vreidiri says:
::calls his entourage and relays a message to his government::

CEO_Jokeg says:
@COM: CO: Status report sir. The environmental systems are online. However the Fusion reactors are heavily damaged. Best we can do is 2/3 impulse and that will be pushing it. They need to consider a tow.

CMO_Ravenprowler says:
:: pulls the safety wire  and gets a blood return, smiles slightly and hooks up the fluids, patting the MO on the arm. and steps back.::

CNS_Luchena says:
::looks at Puufee and wonders if he would like a BLT::

Host CO_Merced says:
COMM: Combat:  There were, though I haven't numbers yet.  All are being treated by our Chief Medical Officer.  Currently we have an engineering team on the freighter seeking to stabilize the ships systems, but I will have them return when your people arrive to take over.

Host Tioron_Auples says:
::continues to loiter::

Host Chris_N says:
<Finotan Captain> COMM: Luna: Very good.  ::pauses and adjusts his composure::  Oh and Captain?  I thank you on behalf of the Finotan Republic  ::closes Comm.::

CMO_Ravenprowler says:
:: moves to the sink, scrubbing her hands once again watching the care given.::

CNS_Luchena says:
Auples:  Would you prefer to go to the lounge or your quarters?

Host CO_Merced says:
Self: A bit nicer.

Host AMB_Hinta_Vreidiri says:
::looks up as his aide enters the room and begins to clean it thoroughly::

Host Tioron_Auples says:
CNS: I would prefer to stay here!  ::his face goes red::

Host CO_Merced says:
CSO: I am going to clean out my ready room.  You have the bridge for now.  Report as you find.

CNS_Luchena says:
::summons two security officers to accompany Auples::

CSO_Brehgorn says:
CO: Understood, sir.

Host AMB_Hinta_Vreidiri says:
::instructs him to be more liberal with the air freshener::

CEO_Jokeg says:
@::repairs the last relay, secures the panel::

CNS_Luchena says:
Auples:  The Captain has asked you to leave several times.  I'm afraid I must insist.

CSO_Brehgorn says:
::gives science to Ensign Malkovich and sits in command chair::

Host CO_Merced says:
Auples:  Sir.  You will follow the direction of the Counselor, or I will have you physically removed from the bridge and confined to quarters for the remainder of this trip.

Host CO_Merced says:
Auples: Your choice.

CNS_Luchena says:
<Two security officers> ::stand close to Auples ready to muscle him if necessary::

Host Tioron_Auples says:
::snorts, and storms into the Turbolift::  CO: You will regret this, Captain!

Host CO_Merced says:
Self: I already do.

CSO_Brehgorn says:
*CEO* Expect a Finotan engineering team to board shortly.  Once they arrive, we'll beam you guys back to the Luna.

CEO_Jokeg says:
@::walks over to the fusion reactors::These things looks ancient.

CNS_Luchena says:
::gestures for the two security officers to follow Auples::

CEO_Jokeg says:
@COM: CSO: Understood.

Host CO_Merced says:
::moves to the ready room door, taking a deep breath before stepping through:: Vreidiri: Ambassador.

Host AMB_Hinta_Vreidiri says:
::sighs delicately over the stressful day::

CNS_Luchena says:
::stands outside the RR still holding Puufee::

Host Chris_N says:
ACTION: The CEO's Team is shortly joined by several men carrying toolkits and weapons

CMO_Ravenprowler says:
::peers into the Surgical suite, the heart lung machine lets her know there was major vascular damage, grows a little concerned, begins to pull on her scrubs and cap and mask.::

Host AMB_Hinta_Vreidiri says:
CO: Commander. Where are my captains? I don't have all day!

CSO_Brehgorn says:
*CEO* Sir, I'm reading that the Finotan's have arrived.  Are you ready to return to the Luna?

CEO_Jokeg says:
@::looks up at the arriving Finotans::The environmental systems are repaired, the reactors are severely damaged.

CNS_Luchena says:
::wanders over to the replicator and gets Puufee some raw meat.  Offers it to him/her/whatever::

CEO_Jokeg says:
@COM: CSO: Affirmative, 3 to beam back.

CMO_Ravenprowler says:
:: scrubs the customary 7 minutes and stands under the cellular scanner then enters the suite, asking if there is anyway she can help.::

Host AMB_Hinta_Vreidiri says:
<Puufee>::grabs the meat and "accidentally" bites the CNS finger::

Host Chris_N says:
<Finotan Team>  ::nods at the CEO and begins to go to work::

CSO_Brehgorn says:
::has transporter chief beam the AT to TR 1::

CNS_Luchena says:
To self:  Ouch.

Host CO_Merced says:
Vreidiri:  I am afraid the situation has changed.  We have discovered evidence of a shape shifter on board, and are currently trying to find it.  It would be best if you transfer to the finotan flagship till this has been resolved.  It's just too bad the laquonan ambassador doesn't have such a safe place during this.

Host Tioron_Auples says:
::enters his quarters, waits for the security guards to leave, then sneaks out::

CEO_Jokeg says:
::steps off the padd::Engineers: Excellent work both of you, you may take the rest of your shift off.

CSO_Brehgorn says:
::orders Ensign Malkovich to keep a close eye on LRS::

CMO_Ravenprowler says:
:: gowns and steps up to hold a retractor over the thorasic cavity.::

CEO_Jokeg says:
::heads to ME::

CNS_Luchena says:
::pets Puufee some more hoping to make friends with it::

Host AMB_Hinta_Vreidiri says:
CO: I beg to differ. Where the weasel remains, so shall I. I am here for the duration. It is my god-given duty. ::sniffs::

Host CO_Merced says:
Vreidiri:  Then you give me no choice.  For your own safety I must have you removed from the bridge to a designated secure location.  In this case your quarters.  You can go under your own power or I can have you carried there.
