Episode 149: "The Darkness Within, Part 6": Things may be looking up after all for the Luna's crew.  Surviving their fight with the two Alliance vessels, the Luna was able to capture the task force leader, a Colonel Ramphile.  Having past relations with the resistance Commanding Officer, Terupi, it is hoped that Ramphile will be able to shed light on the Luna's predicament.

OPS_Sanchez says:
:: Wonders how to mask the ion trial of the Luna.  He's an operations officer, not an engineer... ::
Host CO_Terupi says:
::Wonders if he should go back to his own ship or not.::
Host Col_Ramphile says:
::Begins to wake from the stun beam... what was that..::
Host CO_Savar says:
::Taps his commbadge::  *CIV*: Savar to Captain MacPherson-Quest.
CSO_Singh says:
::On the bridge going through records for deflector dishes, looking up old ones and experimental ideas.::
CIV_Capt_MacPherson-Quest says:
::messing around in his quarters:: *CO*: Captain may I help you?
Host CO_Savar says:
*CIV*: Is Captain Terupi with you at this time?
CIV_Capt_MacPherson-Quest says:
 *CO*: I do not, unless he's hiding in my quarters somewhere
OPS_Qui says:
:: Tries to swallow, but cannot.  Mouth is dry and her tongue is thick with thirst ::
Host CO_Savar says:
*CIV*: I see.  I had expected you two and Mister Jarot would be questioning the prisoner by now.
Host CO_Terupi says:
::Looks at the prisoner, leering at him...:: Col:  So you are finally where you belong huh...  ::Grins::
CIV_Capt_MacPherson-Quest says:
 *CO*: I'm collecting my  tools of the trade so to speak
Host Col_Ramphile says:
::Cracks his eyes open slowly, not recognizing his surroundings::  Terupi: I must be in Hell, for I am reduced to sharing space with scum like you...
CTO_Jarot says:
::pacing before the cell with the Colonel is being held and turns to him once again::  Col: Colonel, why where you attacking the Luna, who has does nothing to you or your ship...?
CSO_Singh says:
::Rubs her temple as she discards one after the other.::
Host CO_Terupi says:
::Laughs::  Col:  What is this sharing bit... I'm free your not... ::Dances around the large room.   At least they were nice enough to give you a hard bed.
CIV_Capt_MacPherson-Quest says:
::picks up a hypo full of truth serum and puts into a bag. Also grabs a recording device among some other things he'll need:: *CO*: So if I may, I'll be heading to the Brig
CSO_Singh says:
::Pauses as she comes to an interesting idea and reads through it.::
Host CO_Savar says:
*CIV*: Act honorable, Captain.
CSO_Singh says:
OPS:  How is your knowledge of deflector dishes?
Host Col_Ramphile says:
::Regards his space, and then the mysterious man in the yellow-collared uniform::  CTO: Why should I answer your questions?
OPS_Sanchez says:
CSO: Iffy...but I'll give it try
CIV_Capt_MacPherson-Quest says:
::Ewan picks up the bag and begins to walk to the door so that he can exit his room and go to a turbolift:: *CO* I'm Scottish, the most honorable of Earth peoples
Host CO_Terupi says:
CTO:  Can I hit him... He killed my wife.
CTO_Jarot says:
::glances at the Colonel::  Col: Because you are in my holding cell, after attacking our vessel for no reason.... which gives me enough right to ask you these questions...
Host CO_Savar says:
*CIV*: Of course, Captain.  Savar out.
CSO_Singh says:
::Sends the files to Sanchez::  OPS:  Look that over.  Tell me what you think.  It is totally theoretical as of last downloaded, but we do have all the relevant equipment aboard and what is not there, we can replicate.
OPS_Sanchez says:
:: Nods ::  CSO: Got it...   :: Begins to read ::
Host Col_Ramphile says:
CTO: Ah, I see.  That changes everything, doesn't it?  Your holding cell is in my territory, therefore perhaps you should answer my questions.
CSO_Singh says:
*Engineering*:  I have a file I want you to look at.  Tell me what you think.  ::Sends them the link to the files.::
CIV_Capt_MacPherson-Quest says:
::to himself as he reaches the lift:: How quaint that I must use a turbolift instead of my site-to-site transporter
CIV_Capt_MacPherson-Quest says:
::Ewan enters:: TL: Brig level
CSO_Singh says:
::Looks over to Sanchez::  OPS:  What do you think?
CTO_Jarot says:
::shakes his head::  Col: This holding cell is onboard our ship, if you hadn't noticed, Colonel...  as for your territory... it seems that still has to be determined, so I don't see reason for you to act like you own the place....
Host Col_Ramphile says:
::Stands::  CTO: Ah, but I do.
OPS_Sanchez says:
CSO: I guess it will work...don't see why not.  I just have to make sure the power to it is from a secondary system rather than a primary one.  A primary system could blow it out.
CSO_Singh says:
OPS: All right.  I will check with engineering and see what they say... then it is up to the captain.
CIV_Capt_MacPherson-Quest says:
::He steps off the lift and walks to the Brig a few meters and enters::
CSO_Singh says:
*Engineering* :  What are your thoughts on those plans?
CIV_Capt_MacPherson-Quest says:
::walks up to the cell:: CTO: How are things going Commander?
CTO_Jarot says:
::sighs, glancing at the CIV entering the brig area he nods::  CIV: Captain, if you would continue here please... I'm going to check some reports and get something to drink before I return... especially since I feel I'm wasting time with these people that think they're so smart::
CIV_Capt_MacPherson-Quest says:
CTO: Very well
OPS_Sanchez says:
:: Still trying to figure out how to mask the Luna's ion trail...::
CTO_Jarot says:
::takes his PADD and nods at the CIV once again as he exits the brig area::
CSO_Singh says:
OPS:  Do you need to mask the trial or to confuse the trails?
CIV_Capt_MacPherson-Quest says:
::Ewan takes out his PADD and the hypo:: Ramphile: Why did you attack our ship?
Host EO_Simmons says:
*CSO*: It's an interesting idea, Commander... untested...
OPS_Sanchez says:
CSO: According to my briefing, mask the trail...except I don't think that can be done, considering...
Host Col_Ramphile says:
CIV: Who are you, and why should I answer your questions?
CSO_Singh says:
*EO*:  Yes, it is. But unless you have come up with something else... perhaps you will get to be written up for it.  ::Smiles, but the smile does not reach her eyes.::
CSO_Singh says:
OPS:  We can alter and we can confuse, but unless you have something to collect the ships 'exhaust', it is not possible.
CSO_Singh says:
::Downloads the plans to a PADD, then heads for the ready room.::
CIV_Capt_MacPherson-Quest says:
Ramphile: If you must know, I am Capt. MacPherson-Quest, Star Fleet Intelligence. Because if you don't, I'll have to use this ::picks up the hypo::
Host Col_Ramphile says:
::Rolls his eyes::  CIV: Let me guess, a truth serum?
CTO_Jarot says:
::enters the nearest TL::  TL: Security Office...  *CSO*: Jarot to Singh...  Harm, do you still have that information about the Alliance we've acquired so far ?
OPS_Sanchez says:
CSO: I didn't think so, since a starship uses magnetic fields to drive electrically charged gases to make us go.
Host EO_Simmons says:
*CSO*: It's risky... but what isn't today?  I'll see if I can run some simulations before we get too far.
CSO_Singh says:
::Pauses at the RR doors.::  OPS:  Then lets look at confusing them with multiple trails.  I will see what the captain says.
CIV_Capt_MacPherson-Quest says:
Ramphile: Yes, but with a twist. This serum also contains a virus that will slowly decay your insides over a few days
Host Col_Ramphile says:
CIV: Ah, then I am not dead.  It's too bad, really - Hell probably smells better than this place.
CSO_Singh says:
*EO*:  Get onto it as priority... we have people counting on us.  Though it won't do them much good if we blow ourselves up.  ::Taps the chimes.::
OPS_Sanchez says:
:: Thinks to self ::   Self: Confuse them with multiple trails...?
Host EO_Simmons says:
*CSO*: Right away, ma'am.
Host CO_Savar says:
::Looks up::  Enter.
CIV_Capt_MacPherson-Quest says:
Ramphile: At first it is humane, then after that it is very painful
CIV_Capt_MacPherson-Quest says:
Ramphile: Over a five days
CIV_Capt_MacPherson-Quest says:
Ramphile: Now Colonel, why did you attack our ship?
CSO_Singh says:
::Enters the room, heading straight for the large desk.::  CO:  I have two proposals for you.  One is on the PADD for creating an alternate deflector dish, and the other is for Sanchez.   I would suggest we break up the trail.  The ideal of masking the trail is not something easily, if even possible, for us to do.
Host Col_Ramphile says:
CIV: If I answer your questions, you will what?  Release me?  Return me to my ship?
CIV_Capt_MacPherson-Quest says:
Ramphile: That depends on you Colonel
Host Col_Ramphile says:
CIV: No, captor, that depends on you.
Host CO_Savar says:
::Picks up the PADDs::
CIV_Capt_MacPherson-Quest says:
Ramphile: I don't negotiate with terrorists
Host Col_Ramphile says:
CIV: I am not the terrorist here, Captain.  Let me ask you - who is in their own universe at the moment?
CSO_Singh says:
::Waits curiously for his thoughts.::
CIV_Capt_MacPherson-Quest says:
::picks up the PADD and brings up a picture of Qui, then shows it to the Colonel:: Ramphile: We believe that you are holding our crewmen ::looks at him for a reaction::
Host Col_Ramphile says:
::Eyes widen::  CIV: That is.. a Trill...
CTO_Jarot says:
::in his office looking up more detailed information on the Alliance::
CSO_Singh says:
::Tempted to shift her feet as she waits.::
CIV_Capt_MacPherson-Quest says:
Ramphile: She is also our crewmen, so I ask again. Do you have this being in captivity or anywhere in the Alliance?
Host CO_Savar says:
CSO: This deflector pattern... I'm hesitant about it.  It seems to be able to work, for a small time... but we'll need something better and more permanent, and soon.  Perhaps Terupi can suggest someplace we can find parts?
Host Col_Ramphile says:
CIV: I know of no such being.. Trills have been gone for years, decades...
CSO_Singh says:
CO:  Would trying to adapt them to our technology be any worse then this?  However, I, or you, can ask him.
Host CO_Savar says:
::Nods::  CSO: I would like to be on the move before reinforcements come for the second ship... ensure that Terupi is aware of this before we inadvertently distance him from his vessel.
CIV_Capt_MacPherson-Quest says:
Ramphile: If don't know, then who?
CSO_Singh says:
::Nods::  CO:  As for the ships trail?
CTO_Jarot says:
::having read up on the most recent events he takes a cup of coffee from the replicator and makes his way out of his office::
Host CO_Savar says:
CSO: Neither of us are Engineers... but there simply must be a way to completely shut off the exhaust ports, or at least divert them elsewhere....
Host Col_Ramphile says:
CIV: I am not aware of that information.  ::Sits down::
CSO_Singh says:
CO:  You can shut them up.  That is possible.  But then you would have a build-up and you can guess where that would go.
Host CO_Savar says:
CSO: We would be able to make short bursts... not much...
CTO_Jarot says:
::enters the nearest TL, taking a sip from his coffee::  TL: Brig!
CSO_Singh says:
CO: Exactly, and then we would still need to 'dump' the waste somewhere.  If it were possible to use it, they would have done something long ago.
CIV_Capt_MacPherson-Quest says:
Ramphile: I think you do Colonel
CIV_Capt_MacPherson-Quest says:
Ramphile: Or perhaps your best guess then
Host CO_Savar says:
CSO: It's likely more efficient to slowly leak the plasma, which is why.
CSO_Singh says:
CO: OK, so I will go ask Captain Terupi if he can tell us of anything possible near by.  And for Sanchez?
Host CO_Savar says:
CSO: We need to be moving... I'd rather be moving and leave a trail than be sitting here...
CIV_Capt_MacPherson-Quest says:
::grabs the serum:: Ramphile: You leave me no choice ::turns to the Sec Officer:: SEC: Lower the shield

ACTION: The shield lowers as ordered.  The Security Guard pulls his weapon.

CSO_Singh says:
::Nods::  CO:  I will have him set up a multiple trails for diversion.
CSO_Singh says:
CO:  I am also going to leave engineering working on the other as a possible back up.
CIV_Capt_MacPherson-Quest says:
::Ewan enters and administers the serum into the right shoulder of Ramphile and walks out of the cell:: SEC: Raise the shield
CSO_Singh says:
::Moves toward the door to exit.::
Host Col_Ramphile says:
::It was too quick to resist... as MacPherson-Quest retreats, he swats at him, and runs into the forcefield::
CTO_Jarot says:
::exiting the TL he once enters the brig area, nodding at the CIV as he enters::  CIV: How're you doing, Captain...  ::smiles faintly as he takes another sip from his coffee::
CSO_Singh says:
::As the doors open she exits and heads toward Sanchez::  OPS:  I want you to prepare mutliple class VIII probes.
