@::quietly::   XO:  No sir.  Only that I did not know anything about picking someone up.  They are on the comm now.

CEO_Binks says:
@::Continues to climb and crawl until she reaches the level below the Bridge thinking it would be best to use TL and not bang open a panel on entrance::
Host Adm_Xavier says:
CO:  Have you heard anything more from the Luna, I'm getting more and more concerned....  It seems this station is a target one with a big bull’s-eye on it.
EO_Lt_Gunn says:
@ CSO: Yellow Alert Aye. ::activates Yellow Alert::
XO_Savar says:
@::Nods:: CSO: Contact the Starbase, and try to get a hold of the Admiral and get confirmation.  If you get it, have them stand down their weapons, and beam him to TR1.  I will meet him there.  EO: Have two security officers meet me there.
AMBASS_Ratail says:
@Self:  If this is how I am to be treated...well...   :: Harrumphs again. ::
Host CO_Harm says:
T'Mar: As son as there is anything to report you will know.

Host CO_Harm says:
::Notices the councilor:: Roinon: Something wrong?
CSO_Singh says:
@::shakes her head as he leaves the bridge::  Madness...
CEO_Binks says:
@::Exits the TL and walks to the engineering consol activating it ::
AMBASS_Ratail says:
@:: Begins to hiss her discontent of her treatment by the Luna. ::
EO_Lt_Gunn says:
@ ::receives message:: XO: The security team will meet you there Commander. ::notices the CEO walk on to the bridge::
CSO_Singh says:
@COMM:  Adm:  They are on a Rodanian ship.
T`Mar says:
::looking at the group concerned like::
Host Councillor_Roinon says:
CO/Adm:  Ratail he is a military leader... one of the more vicious, opposes everything the Federation stands for.  Him being here is not good.
CEO_Binks says:
@::Humming to herself quite happily changes a power flow then looks around seeing the Eo at TAC and frowns a little ::
AMBASS_Ratail says:
@::  Checks her personage and sees everything is in place. ::
T`Mar says:
::looks to the Admiral and Captain with great concern:: CO: I would recommend a defensive posture for your ship Captain.
Host Adm_Xavier says:
*XO/CSO*:  Find out what he wants...  be careful, Councillor Roinon knows him.... treat him as hostile.
EO_Lt_Gunn says:
@ ::shrugs:: CEO: Skeleton Crew. Whatcha gonna do?
CEO_Binks says:
@::Smiles:: EO: Stand here and watch event s unfold I guess

ACTION:  Phaser fire is shot across the bow of the Luna.

CSO_Singh says:
@COMM:  Adm:  Underst.... ack.
AMBASS_Ratail says:
@:: Smiles as the Rodanian ship takes some action. ::
XO_Savar says:
@::Arrives down in the Transporter Room, and sees two Security Officers standing there with phasers.. good... she might be upset by now:: SecOff's: Stand off to the side, no hostile movements until the Ambassador makes one... if she does.
EO_Lt_Gunn says:
@CSO: INCOMING
CSO_Singh says:
@EO:  Damage?
EO_Lt_Gunn says:
@ CSO: None Ensign Singh. Shot directly across the bow. Recommend General Quarters.
CSO_Singh says:
@*XO*:  Sir, the admiral was not expecting this ambassador.  We are to beam her  aboard and bring her in.  Apparently with care.  She is considered hostile.  And considering she just sent a shot across our bow....
CSO_Singh says:
@EO:  Good.
XO_Savar says:
@*CSO*: Acknowledged.  Beam her aboard as soon as she stands down weapons and shields.
Host Adm_Xavier says:
CO:  Capt, I want every piece of information on the Ratail....
Host CO_Harm says:
All: It looks like the complexion of these negotiations are taking on a new twist.  Not one I particularly relish.
CSO_Singh says:
@*XO*:  Yes sir.
Host Councillor_Roinon says:
::Nods::
Host Adm_Xavier says:
::Nods::
AMBASS_Ratail says:
@:: Smiles at the apparent indecisions on the Luna. ::
Host CO_Harm says:
Adm: Understood.
CSO_Singh says:
@COMM: Ambass:  Ma'am.   You are to stand down weapons and shields.  We will then beam you aboard.
AMBASS_Ratail says:
@:: Smiles to self...in her sweetest voice. ::   COMM: CSO:  Thank you.  However, know that I have an entourage of three to bring with me.
EO_Lt_Gunn says:
@ CSO_Singh: Recommend Red Alert... We need to take a defensive posture if they are going to start taking pot shots.
CSO_Singh says:
@COMM:  Ambass:  Understood.  Also understand, that you will be meet with a security detail... just so you aren't worried when you see them.
CSO_Singh says:
@EO:  Not at the moment.  Seems this person just likes attention.

ACTION:  Shadows can bee seen along the outskirts of the Patch... activity of the patch prevents a positive identification.

AMBASS_Ratail says:
@:: Signals the ship to stand down weapons and shields. ::   COMM: CSO:  Understood.
EO_Lt_Gunn says:
@::walks over to the CSO and whispers:: CSO: I don't like this Ensign. Not one bit. We don't have any information on them AT ALL, and she wants to bring 4 people on board including herself?
CSO_Singh says:
@OPS:  As soon as their shields are down, beam them to transporter one.
CEO_Binks says:
@::sighs at the EO’s comments hates the idea of them taking shots at her systems::
AMBASS_Ratail says:
@:: Contacts her entourage to meet her in the transporter room.  Straightens her beads and goes to the transporter room. ::
Host CO_Harm says:
::Taps a few commands into the PADD he is holding, requesting a complete encounter history with Retail.::
CSO_Singh says:
@*XO*:  Incoming sir.  She said she would have 3 others with her.
CSO_Singh says:
@EO:  How many security officers did you send down?
Host Adm_Xavier says:
::Moves over to the wall and leans against it.  Pinches her nose as she close her eyes.::
XO_Savar says:
@::Wonders if two security officers is enough:: *CSO*: Acknowledged.  We are ready to receive.
AMBASS_Ratail says:
@:: Meets her entourage there, and signals for the shields and weapons to be lowered. ::
CSO_Singh says:
@<OPS> CSO:  Shields lowered.
AMBASS_Ratail says:
@:: Gets on the transporter pads. ::
CSO_Singh says:
@::Holds up a hand, thinking for a moment::
AMBASS_Ratail says:
@TC:  Signal the Luna we are ready and give our coordinates.
Host Councillor_Roinon says:
::looks over at T'Mar::  T'Mar:  Your changing your mind about us aren't you ?
CSO_Singh says:
@<OPS>CSO:  Incoming coordinates.
Host CO_Harm says:
Adm: Things seemed so much easier in the old days Admiral.
T`Mar says:
::looks over:: Roinon: I am unsure at the moment....
Host Adm_Xavier says:
CO:  Yeah you chasing me all over the quadrant... the good old days Harm.  Still wish it were that way ?
T`Mar says:
@ Councillor_Roinon: This certainly presents something of a interesting circumstance.
CSO_Singh says:
@EO:  Send a few more down there to meet them.
AMBASS_Ratail says:
@:: Beginning to wonder again at the length of time it takes the Federation to react. ::
EO_Lt_Gunn says:
@ CSO_Singh: 2 Security Officers
Host Councillor_Roinon says:
T'Mar:  Its what you would call a deal breaker Ambassador, correct ?
CSO_Singh says:
@OPS:  Count to 30,  then initiate transport.  Give the extra detail time to get there.
AMBASS_Ratail says:
@:: Looks over her entourage and notes they have their capes of bead around them.  Smiles. ::
Host CO_Harm says:
T'Mar/Roinon: How does Retail's presence change the negotiations?
CSO_Singh says:
<OPS> ::Nods with a smile and begins to count... slowly::
CEO_Binks says:
@:;watches what is going on quite interested::
T`Mar says:
@ Councillor_Roinon: It does not look good, no.
AMBASS_Ratail says:
@:: Begins to tap her toe in impatience. ::
Host Councillor_Roinon says:
CO:  Ratail will cause enough trouble to prevent the Federation to take us on.  He has already upset our government.  ......
EO_Lt_Gunn says:
@ CSO: Aye. ::dispatches security officers::
CSO_Singh says:
@<OPS> ::As he reaches 30, he initiates beaming sequence.::

ACTION:  Capt Harm has a sudden outburst of anger.

CSO_Singh says:
*XO*:  Commander, incoming... along with an extra security detail.
T`Mar says:
@ CO_Harm: I think that the most important thing that we must do is to find out what Ratail's intent is and who's authority he is acting on.
XO_Savar says:
@::Sees them materialize:: Amb: Ambassador Ratail, welcome aboard.  I am Commander Savar Dickinson, Executive Officer of the USS Luna.  ::Notices two other security officers arrive::
CSO_Singh says:
@CEO/EO:  Anything else?
AMBASS_Ratail says:
@:: Eyes narrow in impatience. ::
Host CO_Harm says:
Roinon: Why is she so opposed to your joining the Federation?
CEO_Binks says:
CSO: nothing at the moment things are properly too quiet at a guess
Host Councillor_Roinon says:
CO:  She is what you would call a last resource man...  She either makes it happen or dies trying.  As you can see he is still breathing.
AMBASS_Ratail says:
:: Sees the environment change around her. ::
AMBASS_Ratail says:
:: Sees the XO and in a pleasant voice. ::   XO:  Pleasure.  My entourage.  Now, I am to meet with someone regarding the admittance of the Petyaks into your Federation.
Host CO_Harm says:
Roinon: Reminds me of a Maquis Mastermind, I used to chase around the galaxy ::passes a glance at the Admiral::
CSO_Singh says:
@CEO:  Too quiet?  How about those shadows in the Patch.  What if we launched a probe.  Do you think we could find out anything more?
Host Adm_Xavier says:
::Snarls and laughs at the Capt.::
T`Mar says:
::begins to shake a little in the right hand::
AMBASS_Ratail says:
@XO:  You are to take me there now.
CEO_Binks says:
CSO: you could try I'm not sure what effect the patch would have on the probe but I cannot see any harm in it
XO_Savar says:
@Amb: We can arrange that.  The negotiations are occurring on a Starbase close to here.  Your entourage is encouraged to make themselves comfortable, and you may accompany them or follow me to the Bridge.
T`Mar says:
<Assistant> ::notices the Ambassador:: All: Perhaps the Ambassador should retire for a little while until this issue is brought under control.
CSO_Singh says:
@CEO:  I don't either.  Before we have to take the ambassador in, why don't we send one out... curiosity.
AMBASS_Ratail says:
@XO:  Take me to our quarters.  I wish to rest then.
T`Mar says:
::T`Mar and the assistant begin exchanging an agitated wispering session::
CSO_Singh says:
@EO:  What is that other ship doing now?

XO_Savar says:
@::Hopes the guest Ambassadorial quarters are stocked with the standard compliments:: Amb: Please follow me.  ::Motions for the Security Officers to follow behind the group::
CSO_Singh says:
@::Nods::
Host Adm_Xavier says:
::pushes herself off the wall.:: CO:  Captain!!!  Unhand him... ::Motions for security::  Now before I throw you into the brig!
CSO_Singh says:
@CEO:  Good.
AMBASS_Ratail says:
@:: Follows the XO out the doors. ::
T`Mar says:
::eyes become wide as the Ambassador detaches the CO from his lapels::
XO_Savar says:
@*CSO*: Ms Singh, set course for the Starbase.  Inform the Admiral that the.. Ambassador is requesting an audience in the negotiations.
Host Councillor_Roinon says:
::Jaw drops on the ground.::
CEO_Binks says:
@::send the probe:: CSO: On its way and waiting for information to be sent .. I'll keep you posted

ACTION:  The Rodanian ship moves in behind the Luna to follow them into starbase.

Host CO_Harm says:
::Tosses T'mar aside:: Adm: I have had quite enough of this nonsense.  If we are going to negotiate then lest get down with it, and quit playing these games.
CSO_Singh says:
@*XO*:  Yes sir.  Ummm... in just a moment.  By the way, there is something in the briar patch.  We are sending a probe in now to check it out.  Our sensors are having troubles getting through it.
AMBASS_Ratail says:
@:: Looks over to the XO as she hears the term 'audience'. ::   XO:  My people have every right to be in those negotiations as you call it.

T`Mar says:
::looks on in disgust:: CO: I would highly recommend that you not do that again Captain
CSO_Singh says:
@COMM:  Adm:  Ma'am, we have the ambassador.  They are requesting an audience at the negotiations.
Host CO_Harm says:
::Tosses the security officer down the corridor with the ease of much hand to hand practice::
XO_Savar says:
@::Arrives at the guest quarters, and as the doors open, he sees the standard furniture is present:: Amb: Oh?  I'm afraid I am somewhat lacking in information in these negotiations.  What makes you say that?
AMBASS_Ratail says:
@:: Wonders how long on this little ship it takes to get to quarters. ::
CSO_Singh says:
@EO:  Then why in the galaxy are we taking her there?
CEO_Binks says:
::Sighs:: CSO: its disintegrated in a meteron Pocket, you want me to try again ? or I can recalibrate the scans and see if that works

Host CO_Harm says:
::Dreams of a beautiful beach on Risa, his wife sitting beside him::
AMBASS_Ratail says:
