USS Pharaoh
SD 10212.12

The government of Mithran IV has filled a formal protest with the Federation Council is the actions of the crew of the USS Pharaoh in killing the "Goddess of Benevolence and Vengeance". They request to leave the Federation effective immediately. The Federation Council does not wish to lose one of its newest members due to some diplomatic misunderstanding.

The crew of the Pharaoh are ordered to correct the situation they have caused and convince them that the actions of the crew were a huge misunderstanding.

CO:  I can't wait.

CO_Kyrron says:
OPS:  Contact Governor Regel and see if he will agree to a meeting.

XO_Chalen says:
CO:  In fire.    It's the best way really.
CSO_McGrady says:
CMO: Splendid, doctor.  Your skills are note-worthy.
CO_Kyrron says:
XO:  You shot her?
OPS_Menson says:
CO: Aye, sir. ::looks at the OPS console and taps the COM button::
XO_Chalen says:
CO:  yes sir.   Four micro photon warheads.   She was weakened from trying to kill me, otherwise I don't think they would have hurt her at all.
FCO_Khrex says:
::looks around the bridge::
SO_Raja says:
::pays close attention tot he weather systems on the planet::
CO_Kyrron says:
XO:  Well done.  ::grins::
EO_Ens_Garak says:
::diagnostics come back, all is well, sends report to CO's and XO's stations::
XO_Chalen says:
CO:  Thank you sir.
CSO_McGrady says:
CMO: Doctor, if I might be permitted to cut your observation period briefly, I might find myself useful on the bridge.

::arrives on the bridge and stands behind the Tac console::
XO_Chalen says:
::notes the diagnostic update on his PADD and acknowledges::
CO_Kyrron says:
SO:  Is the weather settling down on the planet?
FCO_Khrex says:
::wonders if the TO knows the rules of acquisition::

OPS_Menson says:
COM: Mithra IV: Governor Regal: This is the USS Pharaoh requesting to have a meeting with you, Governor.
CMO_Stidd says:
::Runs the medical tricorder over the CSO:: CSO: Everything seems to be in order but I wasn't sure with the loss of blood.  If you experience any headaches or lightheadedness you are to report back here immediately, understood?
SO_Raja says:
CO: It appear-r-rs to be. It looks like the weather-r-r nets will not be needed
CSO_McGrady says:
CMO: Of course, doctor.  Thank you for your expert care.
CSO_McGrady says:
::starts heading out of sickbay::
CO_Kyrron says:
SO:  Must have been Arrica causing it.  XO:  We'll add that point to our defense.
XO_Chalen says:
CO:  Everything considered, they SHOULD be thanking us.   Besides, if I read the log correctly, didn't Arrica SPACE the Governor????

ACTION: No reply from the hails.

SO_Raja says:
CO: It appear-r-rs so
CO_Kyrron says:
XO:  She almost killed him.
FCO_Khrex says:
XO: Maybe he enjoyed it rough.
OPS_Menson says:
CO: Sir, I am not receiving a reply from my hails.
XO_Chalen says:
CO:  Would have been more than almost if not for Doctor Stidd.
CO_Kyrron says:
OPS:  What?  Is our communication equipment working properly?
CSO_McGrady says:
::enters TL:: Computer: Bridge.
XO_Chalen says:
FCO:  Then he'll LOVE trying to pick a fight with me...
SO_Raja says:
FCO: Enjoyed what r-r-rough?
OPS_Menson says:
CO: It is, Captain. I do not think the Governor wants to talk to us.
FCO_Khrex says:
::Looks at the SO::
FCO_Khrex says:
SO: Uh... never mind...
CO_Kyrron says:
::rolls eyes::
TO_T`rget says:
::looks at the Captain and attempts to concentrate on his console::
CO_Kyrron says:
SO:  Can our sensors target the location of the Governor?
CSO_McGrady says:
::walks out of the TL onto the bridge::
XO_Chalen says:
CO:  We could force the matter.   We do have the transport coordinates of his office.  Perhaps an away team?
SO_Raja says:
FCO: You ar-r-re confusing sometimes
OPS_Menson says:
CO: Would you like me to try to hail the Governor on different frequency bands, Captain?
SO_Raja says:
CO: Scanning now fo-r-r-r him
CO_Kyrron says:
OPS:  Yes.  Keep trying.
SO_Raja says:
::scans::
CSO_McGrady says:
SO: What's going on, Mr. Raja?
SO_Raja says:
CO: Located him. He is wher-r-re r-r-right we he was beamed to
FCO_Khrex says:
CO: Perhaps after our recent events and experience with the Governor, he may be ignoring us.
CSO_McGrady says:
::shuts up as the SO reports::
SO_Raja says:
CSO: At Pr-r-resent I am locating the Govonor-r-r
CO_Kyrron says:
XO:  Hummm....  Perhaps we should drop in unannounced.
OPS_Menson says:
::activates all frequency bands as he hails:: COM: Mithra IV: Governor Regel: This is the USS Pharaoh, please respond Governor.
CSO_McGrady says:
SO: Very good...sorry for the disturbance.
FCO_Khrex says:
ALL: I mean after all we've been through... why won't he call? Why?

XO_Chalen says:
CO:   Excellent suggestion.   Should we go down together?
SO_Raja says:
SO: Distr-r-rbance??
CO_Kyrron says:
XO:  I'd rather you stay away from the Mithrans since your the one who did the deed.
OPS_Menson says:
CO/XO: I do not believe the Governor will be answering us anytime soon, sirs.
FCO_Khrex says:
CO: Captain, the Governor may interpret such an act as an act of aggression and he may respond in kind.
CSO_McGrady says:
::grabs a free console and starts monitoring the weather patterns::
XO_Chalen says:
CO:  Understood, but at least take Doctor Stidd with you.
CO_Kyrron says:
*CMO*:  Meet me in the transporter room.
XO_Chalen says:
CO:  Captain, a moment?
CO_Kyrron says:
SO:  Why don't you join us.  Get some more tips on how not to be diplomatic.
CO_Kyrron says:
XO:  Yes?
CMO_Stidd says:
::Shuts down the sickbay:: *CO*: Understood.
SO_Raja says:
::watches the CSO's fingers fly across the panel and takes note at the speed and expertise he uses::
CMO_Stidd says:
::Heads to the TR::
XO_Chalen says:
CO:  <whispers> You do realize that the Mithrans may react violently to your arrival.  Maybe you should take a security officer with you?
SO_Raja says:
CO: Me?! Yes Ma'am
CO_Kyrron says:
XO:  We don't want to appear hostile.  Keep a transporter lock on us, though.
CO_Kyrron says:
::gets up::
XO_Chalen says:
CO:  Aye Captain.
FCO_Khrex says:
CO: Maybe you should bring flowers.
CO_Kyrron says:
::chuckles at the FCO::
SO_Raja says:
::Follows the Captain::
CMO_Stidd says:
::Enters the TR and awaits the Captain::
CO_Kyrron says:
::heads to the transporter room::
XO_Chalen says:
::sits in the command chair::
FCO_Khrex says:
ALL: You know what else works? A barbershop quartet!
EO_Garak says:
::finishes propulsion and navigation diagnostics, all is well, sends report to FCO's console::
CTO_Gem says:
::enters the bridge and goes to her station::
CO_Kyrron says:
SO:  Bring a hand phaser.  You can be our security.
SO_Raja says:
::flicks tail in an agitated manner, not really relishing on seeing the Governor again due to last meeting at the deliver of the good news::
XO_Chalen says:
FCO:  Take us out to geosynchronous orbit over the transport site.
FCO_Khrex says:
ALL: A friend of mine at the academy got out of a jam with them...
SO_Raja says:
CO: Yes Ma'am
FCO_Khrex says:
XO: Aye sir.
CO_Kyrron says:
::arrives in the transporter room::
SO_Raja says:
CO: I will get it in the tr-r-ranspor-r-ter-r-r room
CO_Kyrron says:
CMO:  The governor isn't answering our hails, so our visit is neither expected nor welcome.
OPS_Menson says:
::hears the CO tell the XO to keep a transporter lock...so he locks onto the CO, SO and CMO:: XO: Sir, I have established a transporter lock on the away team for now.

FCO_Khrex says:
::takes the ship into synchronous orbit over the transport site and reduces speed to match planetary rotation::
SO_Raja says:
::::Begins to purr when he remembers how many buttons are on the phaser::
CMO_Stidd says:
::Raises an eyebrow:: CO: Interesting.
XO_Chalen says:
OPS:   Good.  Be prepared to beam them up at a moments notice.
TO_T`rget says:
::fidgets on the bridge after everyone left::
CO_Kyrron says:
CMO:  Might be at that.  ::steps onto the transporter pad::
OPS_Menson says:
XO: Aye, sir. But I am not sure if I will have a lock on the AT when they beam down. Who knows with the conditions down there.
CSO_McGrady says:
::monitoring sensors::
XO_Chalen says:
CTO:   Ensign Gem, Keep the tactical scanners locked, if they try to raise any shields down there that could inhibit transport, I want to know immediately.
FCO_Khrex says:
::whispering:: SELF: Maybe you should open with a "knock, knock" joke.
SO_Raja says:
::after getting the phaser, gets on the padd next to the captain::
CMO_Stidd says:
::Steps onto a transporter pad::
EO_Garak says:
::monitors transporter systems from main engineering::
XO_Chalen says:
OPS:  Let's keep optimistic.
CTO_Gem says:
::nods to Chalen:: XO: Aye sir.
TO_T`rget says:
::grins from ear to ear (very big ears as a matter of fact) at the FCO's joke::
OPS_Menson says:
XO: Of course, sir.
CO_Kyrron says:
*OPS*:  Three to beam down.  Drop us just outside his office.  The least we could do is knock.
SO_Raja says:
::stares at the phaser and looks at all the buttons before putting it in his pocket, out of sight::

XO_Chalen says:
CSO:  Mr. McGrady, keep scanning the governors office.   I want to know how many people are down there with our team at all times.
OPS_Menson says:
*CO*: Aye, Captain. ::taps the sequence of buttons and beams the AT down::
XO_Chalen says:
CSO:  If possible, scan for any small arms.
CSO_McGrady says:
XO: Aye, sir.  ::scans for the number of lifeforms in the Governor's office, and for the presence of small arms::
SO_Raja says:
CO: This should be an inter-r-resting meeting
SO_Raja says:
::continues to flick tail::
CTO_Gem says:
::has eye focused on tactical scanners... mind tuned on what's happening::
CSO_McGrady says:
XO: Is the away team expected at the governor's office, sir.
XO_Chalen says:
OPS:  Mr. Menson, keep the large deck two cargo transporter on standby, if need be, be ready to beam up everyone in that office and hold them in the transporter buffer.   Diplomacy be damned...
CO_Kyrron says:
*OPS*: Energize!
XO_Chalen says:
CSO:  They weren't invited, but I have a feeling they're expected.

ACTION: Transport is complete... the Away Team find themselves outside an office with a woman sitting at a desk

CO_Kyrron says:
@::walks up to the woman::  Woman:  We'd like to speak to the Governor.
EO_Garak says:
::orders engineering staff to odd jobs and menial tasks, feels a slight power trip in absence of CEO::
XO_Chalen says:
*EO*:  Engineering, be ready to divert maximum power to the transporter emitters in case we need it.
CSO_McGrady says:
XO: You'll be pleased to note that I'm picking up no energy-based weaponry.
SO_Raja says:
@::sniffs the air and is not total displeased with the smell::

FCO_Khrex says:
::wonders how hospitable the governor will be::
CTO_Gem says:
XO: Sir. In the event they do raise shields preventing the Away Team from returning... should I prepare an attack strategy?
XO_Chalen says:
CSO:  That's something at least.
Governor_Regel says:
@<Secretary> ::looks up from computer screen as if folks beamed in all the time:: CO: He's in a conference at the moment... Do you have an appointment?
XO_Chalen says:
CTO:  You read my mind, Ensign.
CMO_Stidd says:
<@>::Stands behind the CO awaiting the meeting with the governor::
CO_Kyrron says:
@Woman:  We are here on behalf of the Federation.  Interrupt him.
EO_Garak says:
*XO*: Acknowledged sir, emergency transporter systems standing by.
XO_Chalen says:
CTO: Have two plans ready, at least one involving beaming down an assault team.  Fully armed and armored.
OPS_Menson says:
XO: Still have a lock, sir. ::looking at console moving hands::
SO_Raja says:
@::Standing next to the CO looking all around::
Governor_Regel says:
@ <Secretary> CO: Federation ?   Which one ?  Klingon.. Romulan... Orion?
CTO_Gem says:
XO: Aye aye sir.
CO_Kyrron says:
@::sighs::  Woman:  The United Federation of Planets.  Surely you've heard of us.  You used to be a member.
CO_Kyrron says:
@COM:  OPS:  Beam us directly into the Governor's office.
CTO_Gem says:
::starts working on the emergency crew recovery plan::
XO_Chalen says:
::hears the CO's COM and hopes she knows what she's getting into::
EO_Garak says:
::sends OPS console transporter diagnostic report, all is well, emergency power diverted to cargo transporters::
FCO_Khrex says:
::looks around the bridge to see who's on duty::
OPS_Menson says:
*CO*: Aye, Captain ::taps some buttons transporting the AT into the Governor’s office::
CO_Kyrron says:
@::gives the woman a brief, phony smile::
TO_T`rget says:
::shakes his head at tactical:: Self: This is going to be trrrrrouble....

ACTION: The away team is beamed directly into the office.

CO_Kyrron says:
@::looks around::
XO_Chalen says:
::holds his breath waiting for what happens next::
Governor_Regel says:
@ <Secretary> CO: Oh.. that one... well you see....::shakes head  at they disappear::
Governor_Regel says:
@ ::stands up behind desk:: CO: WHAT IS THE MEANING OF THIS?
SO_Raja says:
@::Ears go back, tail tucks under him, fur raises, and a does a silent growl as he sees the Governor
CMO_Stidd says:
@::Waits for his turn to speak::
CO_Kyrron says:
@Governor:  Forgive the interruption but the Federation is most anxious to keep you as members.
CTO_Gem says:
::makes a few calls downstairs to the ship security, they'll be the assault team::
CO_Kyrron says:
@Governor:  And your secretary is very efficient.

ACTION: Also standing in front of the desk are 2 Orions... each one about 8' tall

SO_Raja says:
@::Sniffs the air and commits the Governors odor to memory::
CO_Kyrron says:
@::nods to the Orions::
FCO_Khrex says:
XO: 30 seconds so far by my count. So far so good, huh?
XO_Chalen says:
CSO:  By the way, Mr. McGrady, I never got to thank you for saving me from my new girlfriend.
XO_Chalen says:
FCO:  Don't jinx us.  ::grins::
XO_Chalen says:
FCO:  We now put our faith in Zaldan diplomacy.
FCO_Khrex says:
XO: Wouldn't that be your old new girlfriend.
CSO_McGrady says:
XO: Absolutely sir...I didn't know you had such a....feline...taste in women.
Governor_Regel says:
@<V'nar> CO: Ah Federation Mammals... Greetings...::steps towards the Captain::
CSO_McGrady says:
XO: Was she a tiger in bed?
XO_Chalen says:
CSO:  What can I say?   I have an........... animal magnetism.
CO_Kyrron says:
@Governor:  Nice day.  Seems Arrica was responsible for your weather problems
SO_Raja says:
@::steps slightly in front of the CO as the man approaches::
OPS_Menson says:
::hears the XO's comment and laughs thinking it is stupid::
FCO_Khrex says:
XO: Sir? Perhaps you should leave the jokes to someone else...
CO_Kyrron says:
@::watches the Orion closely::
FCO_Khrex says:
::smiles at the XO::
Governor_Regel says:
@ CO: I know what she did and what YOU did CAPTAIN... now if you'll excuse.. I am busy
XO_Chalen says:
FCO:  I would never try and upstage our official bridge comedian Mr. Khrex.   ::smiles::
SO_Raja says:
@::looks around and watches everybody intently::
CTO_Gem says:
XO: Sir. I have five on stand-by for an assault team. They're arming and armoring themselves right now.

CO_Kyrron says:
@Governor:  We are under orders to repair this "misunderstanding".  If you have a moment our CMO has some information you might find interesting.
FCO_Khrex says:
XO: Uh... 2 minutes... that's a good sign, right?
XO_Chalen says:
CTO:  Excellent, have an extra set of armament ready for you and me if we need to deploy.   We'll leave Cmdr. McGrady the CON.
SO_Raja says:
Self: Why can't we all just get along?
Governor_Regel says:
@<V'nar> ::smiles at Kyrron:: Regel: Federation mammals.... they always have... "explanations"  did I not tell you?
XO_Chalen says:
FCO:  So far.....
CTO_Gem says:
::nods:: XO: Understood sir.
Governor_Regel says:
@::nods:: V'nar: So you did...
FCO_Khrex says:
XO: I still think a barbershop quartet would've been more effective.
CO_Kyrron says:
@V'nar:  And what brings you to this lovely planet?
SO_Raja says:
@::looks at V'Nar and snarls a little, not liking him very much::
CTO_Gem says:
::taps her combadge and continues her conversation with a junior security officer::
FCO_Khrex says:
XO: I mean even if the Governor didn't accept our apology at least he would've been entertained.
EO_Garak says:
::begins to tinker with transporter systems, trying to lower transport sequence time frame::
XO_Chalen says:
FCO:  And hey who can say no to a quartet?
Governor_Regel says:
@<V’Nar> CO: We've been here 3 months now little mammal ... attempting to help the poor Mithrans
CMO_Stidd says:
@::Steps forward:: Regel: May I have a moment to speak to you.
FCO_Khrex says:
XO: I know I can't.... ::imitating a quarter of a quartet:: "Hello, my darling.. hello, my dear..."
CO_Kyrron says:
@V'nar:  How nice of you.
XO_Chalen says:
FCO:  Oh stop before you get a song stuck in my head.   ::grins::
XO_Chalen says:
CSO:  How are they looking down there, Cmdr?
CO_Kyrron says:
@Governor:  Are you prepared to reconsider your position with the Federation?
SO_Raja says:
@::continues to watch the group of people::
FCO_Khrex says:
XO: Sorry, sir. It is quite a catchy ditty, isn't it?
CO_Kyrron says:
@::is getting fed up with this::
OPS_Menson says:
::moves hand along console::
Governor_Regel says:
@<V'nar> ::checks a device on his belt discreetly::
CSO_McGrady says:
XO: I'm reading the away team and the governor...no other lifeforms, no signs of unusual activity.
CO_Kyrron says:
@::eyes V'nar::
Governor_Regel says:
@ CO: Absolutely not !
XO_Chalen says:
CSO:  No other lifeforms at all?
EO_Garak says:
::decides to spend the last half of his shift at the bridge engineering station, enters TL:: Computer: Bridge.
XO_Chalen says:
OPS:  Are you still monitoring the CO's COM?
CSO_McGrady says:
XO: No, sir...not in the Governor's office, at least.
CTO_Gem says:
::turns back to Chalen:: XO: Done sir. Extra armament is prepared. The team is waiting in the transporter room. ::taps her combadge, disconnecting from transporter room communiqué::
XO_Chalen says:
CTO:  Well done.
CSO_McGrady says:
XO: Check that...there are two other Mithrans in the office.

CMO_Stidd says:
@Governor: Sir, When the Goddess sent you into space I was the one that saved you.  I now request that you hear me out now.
OPS_Menson says:
XO: Confirmed, sir. There are a total of three Mithrans.
CSO_McGrady says:
XO: Still, no signs of hostile activity.
XO_Chalen says:
CSO:  Can you get a more detailed scan?   Are they government types?   Older Mithrans?   Or security guards?   Younger and heavier usually.
SO_Raja says:
@::continues to dislike the Governor::
XO_Chalen says:
::nods at Mr. Menson::
Governor_Regel says:
@ ::shakes head from side to side:: CMO: It was HER right to do so.
OPS_Menson says:
::thinks the XO has had to much coffee::
EO_Garak says:
::steps off turbolift and enters bridge, walks to engineering station and takes a seat:: Computer: Transfer all essential engineering functions to this console.
FCO_Khrex says:
XO: Maybe the governor was lonely... perhaps those 2 Mithrans are female escorts.
CO_Kyrron says:
@Governor:  She was no goddess.
XO_Chalen says:
FCO:   We should all be so lucky.
CSO_McGrady says:
XO: They seem taller than the average Mithran, middle-aged, but nothing notably unusual.
Governor_Regel says:
@ CO: Blasphemy !!!!!!!!!!!!!!
OPS_Menson says:
::tries not to laugh at the FCO's remark::
CMO_Stidd says:
@Governor: Then you prefer that I would have let  you die?
EO_Garak says:
::glances at FCO, thinks to himself, now that’s a conversation to walk into::
FCO_Khrex says:
XO: Yeah...
CO_Kyrron says:
@::remains calm::  Governor:  Our doctor has evidence.
FCO_Khrex says:
::wishes he had an entourage of women with him at helm::
Governor_Regel says:
@<V'nar> Regel: Federation mammals... they are all high and mighty... they do not respect your customs... your Goddess
XO_Chalen says:
CSO:  Doesn’t sit right with me......  why would two other just be hanging out in the office if not for extra security?   Especially when the Gov. knew we were trying to hail him.....
CO_Kyrron says:
@V'nar:  Why don't you just hold your tongue?
CSO_McGrady says:
XO: Sir...we did beam an away team directly into his office with no notification.
Governor_Regel says:
@<V'nar> Regel: The truth... they cannot handle the truth...
Governor_Regel says:
@ CO: I ask you to leave... NOW !
SO_Raja says:
@::Sees the hostility getting higher and steps a little closer to the CO to protect her better::
CSO_McGrady says:
XO: Shall we send the CO a com to see if everything is running smoothly?
CO_Kyrron says:
@Governor:  Very well.  I hope you and your new friends are happy.  Remember who came to your aid when you asked though.
XO_Chalen says:
CSO:  Maybe I'm just over reacting..... but I have a bad feeling about our two unknown Mithrans in the Governor's office.
XO_Chalen says:
CSO:  Last thing we should do is interrupt the talks.
CO_Kyrron says:
@*OPS*:  Three to beam home.
FCO_Khrex says:
XO: A com might be an invasion to their conversation. The captain may not approve.
XO_Chalen says:
::relieved to hear the CO's COM::
Governor_Regel says:
@ CO: All you wanted to do is come and take what is ours... Now leave.
CSO_McGrady says:
FCO: Good point.
CO_Kyrron says:
@Governor:  You are very much mistaken about that, Sir.
OPS_Menson says:
::hears the com:: *CO*: Understood, ma'am. ::presses a sequence of buttons transporting the AT back to the Pharaoh::
FCO_Khrex says:
XO: Is that a good sign? They're coming home now..

ACTION: The away team materializes aboard the Pharaoh

EO_Garak says:
::monitors transporter::
XO_Chalen says:
*CO*  Captain, who was in the office with you?
CO_Kyrron says:
SO/CMO:  Well, that was a waste of time.
SO_Raja says:
CO: Ar-r-e all diplomatic meetings suppose to go like that?
CO_Kyrron says:
*XO*:  Two Orions.
CTO_Gem says:
XO: I guess my plans weren’t needed.
XO_Chalen says:
SELF:   Orions!?
CMO_Stidd says:
CO/SO: I agree
CO_Kyrron says:
::shrugs::  SO:  He ordered us to leave.  We did our best.  ::leaves the transporter room::
FCO_Khrex says:
SELF: Orion slave girls?
OPS_Menson says:
Self: Orions? Very unusual.
XO_Chalen says:
CSO:  The Orions are ready to jump all over this situation to take advantage of the Mithrans!   GROZIT!
SO_Raja says:
::follows the Captain out of the transporter room::
TO_T`rget says:
::has visions of Orion slave girls giving him oomax::
CSO_McGrady says:
XO:  That is an interesting turn of events...
XO_Chalen says:
*CO*:  Captain, I have an ideal  but we'll have to move fast.
CMO_Stidd says:
::Follows the CO and SO to the bridge::
CO_Kyrron says:
*XO*:  What is your plan?
FCO_Khrex says:
XO: Perhaps we can sabotage their negotiations.
EO_Garak says:
::listens to the goings on around him::
XO_Chalen says:
::sees the CO walk into the bridge::
XO_Chalen says:
FCO:  Exactly.
CO_Kyrron says:
::arrives on the bridge::
XO_Chalen says:
CO:   Captain, the Gov already knows I'm the one who shot Arrica.
CO_Kyrron says:
XO:  And?
SO_Raja says:
::heads back to his station once on the bridge::
XO_Chalen says:
CO:   Let's take it up to the next level.   Ready for some shotgun diplomacy?
TO_T`rget says:
::sees the Captain enter and has a vision of her giving him oomax::
FCO_Khrex says:
::sits at the edge of his seat ready to listen to the XO's idea::
CO_Kyrron says:
XO:  Depends what you have in mind, Commander.
XO_Chalen says:
CO:  Let me beam down there.   Alone and quick before the Orions leave.
CMO_Stidd says:
::Listens to what the CO and XO say::
CO_Kyrron says:
XO:  That sounds like a bad idea to me.
CTO_Gem says:
::looks at the crew talk... and... takes that time to admire herself::
FCO_Khrex says:
CO: I believe this is what Ambassador Spock referred to as 'Cowboy Diplomacy'.
XO_Chalen says:
CO:   Our scanners showed them as Mithrans, so we already know they have something to hide.   That gives us an edge.    They won't expect us to know Orions are already down there so soon after you beamed back.
CO_Kyrron says:
XO:  And what exactly do you plan to do down there?
XO_Chalen says:
CO:  Captain.   TRUST me.   We're running out of time!

SO_Raja says:
CO: We could beam down then pounce on them ::makes pouncing movements with his paws::
CO_Kyrron says:
::shakes her head::  OPS:  Can you get a transporter lock on the two Orions?
XO_Chalen says:
CO:  I'll need to know the name of the lead Orion.
XO_Chalen says:
CO:  And I need to meet them in front of the Gov.   It has to look like I'm on my own.
CO_Kyrron says:
XO:   Your insane, you know that right?
XO_Chalen says:
CO:   ::grins::   Yes sir.
FCO_Khrex says:
CO: He may be insane, but he's the best, Captain.
CO_Kyrron says:
::thinks about it::
XO_Chalen says:
::smiles at the FCO::
OPS_Menson says:
::reads over scans:: CO: Negative, Captain. Something is interfering.
CO_Kyrron says:
XO:  Very well.   OPS:  Send him down but keep a lock on him.
XO_Chalen says:
::reads the Orions name off the COM log::
XO_Chalen says:
OPS:  Ready to go.  Beam me down.
OPS_Menson says:
CO: Aye, ma'am. ::looks over to the XO:: XO: Whenever ready, Commander.
CO_Kyrron says:
XO:  It's V'nar.
CO_Kyrron says:
OPS:  Energize.
CSO_McGrady says:
XO: Wait...here's a subspace resonating homing device...very small....just in case ::slaps it on the XO's back::
XO_Chalen says:
CO:  Wish me luck.
CO_Kyrron says:
XO:  Keep your com open.
CO_Kyrron says:
XO:  And good luck.
XO_Chalen says:
::nods to the CSO and CO::
OPS_Menson says:
::activates transport, to beam XO to Governor’s office::
CO_Kyrron says:
::thinks this is a really bad idea::
XO_Chalen says:
::dematerializes and reappears in the Governors office::
XO_Chalen says:
@V'nar:    There you are!  ::looks furious::
CSO_McGrady says:
CO: I hope he knows what he's doing.

ACTION: The XO appearing

FCO_Khrex says:
SELF: May the Prophets show you the path, Commander..
SO_Raja says:
::turns around and scans the office where the XO beamed into::
CTO_Gem says:
CO: Captain, in the off chance something goes wrong with his plan... would you like to assault team on stand-by to assist?
CO_Kyrron says:
CSO:  I hope so too, or I might have the shortest captaincy on record.
Governor_Regel says:
@<V'nar> XO: Another mammal... excellent ::raises from seat and moves forward to shake hand::
XO_Chalen says:
@V'nar: I've been trying to contact you for HOURS!   Do you know that they're ready to shoot me up there for what I did!
CO_Kyrron says:
CTO:  Yes, in case we need to recover him... again.
Governor_Regel says:
@ ::frowns:: V'nar... What is this?  WHO is this?
XO_Chalen says:
@V'nar:   You said this would be a simple JOB!    Killing one impostor goddess!!!     I almost got killed and now my cover may be blown!    how many undercover Orion syndicate agents can you afford to lose in Starfleet!!!!
CO_Kyrron says:
::sits down and listens to the open com channel::
CTO_Gem says:
::contacts with the assault team, making certain they're still on stand-by:: CO: They're ready captain.
CO_Kyrron says:
::nods at the CTO::
FCO_Khrex says:
CO: See? He's the best.
Governor_Regel says:
@ ::frowns:: V'nar... What ?  WHAT?
Governor_Regel says:
@<V'nar> XO/Regel: Another mammal trick... like so many others
CO_Kyrron says:
FCO:  I’m not sure if Starfleet Command would agree.  Hopefully they won't have to know about it.
XO_Chalen says:
@V'nar:   Don't you WHAT me!    I want my MONEY!!!     And a ship!   That fed. captain is ready to HANG me!    Your plan to trick the Mithrans out of the federation has backfired!   They know all about it!!!!!
SO_Raja says:
::continues to monitor the activity::
Governor_Regel says:
@ ::stares in shock:: V'nar:   V'nar... EXPLAIN YOURSELF !
FCO_Khrex says:
CO: I'm sure once the Governor rescinds his protest, Starfleet wouldn't mind.
CO_Kyrron says:
SO:  This is another good example of what not to do in diplomatic situations.  ::tries not to roll her eyes too much::
XO_Chalen says:
@Regal:   Don't let him double talk you!    You've been duped governor!!
SO_Raja says:
CO: So this is the cor-r-rect way to handle the situation ::takes mental notes::
Governor_Regel says:
@<V'nar> ::smiles:: Regel: Do not believe him...he lies... like all mammals
CO_Kyrron says:
FCO:  I believe deception is frowned upon officially.
FCO_Khrex says:
SO: But this is an example of 'Cowboy Diplomacy'.
XO_Chalen says:
@::pulls phaser and points it at V'nar::   V'nar:   NOW!   I want my money or else it's gonna get UGLY IN HERE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Governor_Regel says:
@ V'nar:   GET OUT !!!   ALL OF YOU !!!  GET OUT !!!
CO_Kyrron says:
SO: Nononono
CO_Kyrron says:
SO:  This is what not to do.
SO_Raja says:
::tries to envision the XO on a horse while talking tot he governor, but fails::
FCO_Khrex says:
CO: You say deception, I say "extending the truth".
FCO_Khrex says:
CO: Uh... "extending a lie to make it suit our needs"
CTO_Gem says:
::blinks::
Governor_Regel says:
@<V'nar> ::smiles and folds arms:: XO: Federation.. mammals do not shoot defenseless creatures
CO_Kyrron says:
FCO:  That's an interesting philosophy.  Not one Zaldans would agree with, though.
XO_Chalen says:
@Regal:   I'm not going anywhere until this Pitak' tells the truth!
SO_Raja says:
::shakes head in confusion:: CO: This is so confusing
CMO_Stidd says:
CO: This is a most interesting strategy that the XO has concocted.  Wouldn't you agree?
CO_Kyrron says:
CMO:  Definitely interesting.
XO_Chalen says:
@V'nar: DEFENSELESS?????
FCO_Khrex says:
CO: As a Bolian I don't agree with that philosophy either. However, some races like the Ferengi, and Romulans employs it often.
Governor_Regel says:
@ ::slaps a button on his desk::  COM: Pharaoh: CO: Captain... get your officer out of here... V'nar: YOU!  ::points::  LEAVE !
XO_Chalen says:
@V'nar:   How can you say that when your warship is in polar orbit RIGHT NOW!!!       now I want my money and safe passage on your ship before the Fed's figure out that I left!
XO_Chalen says:
@Regal:  NO!   Don't tell her I'm down here!   You'll blow my cover!   I'M A DEAD MAN!!!!!!!!!!
FCO_Khrex says:
CO: Captain, perhaps now we should send a security team to 'arrest' the Commander.
CO_Kyrron says:
::listens::  OPS:  Open a com to the Governor's office.

Governor_Regel says:
@<V'nar> ::smiles and does not move as the XO screams::
CSO_McGrady says:
CO: I'd be glad to lead that team, sir.
OPS_Menson says:
::opens a COM to the Governor’s office:: CO: Com open, Captain.
CO_Kyrron says:
COM:  Governor:  Is our Executive Officer down there?
XO_Chalen says:
@::looks terrified::
Governor_Regel says:
@ ::screams:: COM: Pharaoh: CO: I do not know... just get him out of here.. .NOW !
CO_Kyrron says:
COM:  Governor:  We will be right there to arrest him!
FCO_Khrex says:
::wonders why the governor has such a girly scream::
CO_Kyrron says:
CSO:  Take a couple of tactical officers and try to look fierce.
CSO_McGrady says:
CO: Aye, sir....  CTO: Your with me.
SO_Raja says:
CSO: I can look fier-r-rce
CSO_McGrady says:
OPS: Beam us down from the bridge.
OPS_Menson says:
::beams the Security team down::

ACTION: The 2nd Away Team arrives.

CTO_Gem says:
::nods to the CSO, logs out of computer, and follows him::
CSO_McGrady says:
@::materializes, sees the XO, and puts on his meanest face::
XO_Chalen says:
@AT:   Stay away from me!
CSO_McGrady says:
@XO: You traitor! ::punches the XO dead on the chin::  You'll pay for your treachery!
CO_Kyrron says:
OPS:  Be prepared to beam them all back quickly.
OPS_Menson says:
CO: Already on it.
XO_Chalen says:
@CSO:  Damn you McGrady!
XO_Chalen says:
@::rubs his chin::
CO_Kyrron says:
OPS:  Do it now.
CSO_McGrady says:
@CTO:  Get a hold of this scum!
FCO_Khrex says:
::starts laughing out loud::
FCO_Khrex says:
CO: I wish we had a visual.
CO_Kyrron says:
::chuckles::
EO_Garak says:
::raises eyebrow, wishes he would have stayed in engineering::

ACTION: The XO is transported aboard the Pharaoh

SO_Raja says:
::monitors the movements on his panel::
XO_Chalen says:
@::as he hears the transporter start to engage he yells::   V'Nar:   I'M NOT GOING DOWN ALONE!!!!!    ::fires his phaser at the Orion just as he dematerializes, leaving the phaser beam to disintegrate inches from his head::
CTO_Gem says:
@ ::rushes forward at a moderate speed, phaser set on medium stun::
CMO_Stidd says:
::Listens to all the action in silence::
Governor_Regel says:
@<V'nar> ::sits down in shock::
XO_Chalen says:
::materializes aboard the Pharaoh bridge, the phaser having been incapacitated in the buffer::
CO_Kyrron says:
COM:  Governor:  Our apologies.  We have the traitor in custody.
FCO_Khrex says:
XO: I'm sure he enjoyed it though.
Governor_Regel says:
@ CSO/CTO: Get out !!!  ::looks at V'nar::  All of YOU !!
XO_Chalen says:
::sits down with a sigh in the XO chair::  SELF:  It's up to the Captain now....
FCO_Khrex says:
ALL: I wonder if the Orions have a barbershop quartet?
ACTION: Both Orions disappear as V'nar touches a button on his sleeve

CO_Kyrron says:
COM:  Governor:  Is everything all right down there now.  Our apologies again.

ACTION: An Orion ship leaves the southern polar orbit of Mithran IV

SO_Raja says:
CO: A tr-r-ranspor-r-rter-r-r is detected on the surface. Someone beamed out of the office
CO_Kyrron says:
SO:  Where did they beam too?
FCO_Khrex says:
XO: There's an Orion ship leaving orbit.
XO_Chalen says:
FCO:  Whattya know!   ::proud that he guessed right::
SO_Raja says:
CO: Tr-r-rianulating now
CO_Kyrron says:
FCO:  Track it as far as you can.
FCO_Khrex says:
CO: Yes captain.
SO_Raja says:
CO: To that ship ::indicating the ship leaving::
FCO_Khrex says:
::tracks the ship as it leaves the system::
CSO_McGrady says:
@Governor:  On behalf of the Federation, I humbly apologize for the actions of our renegade XO.
XO_Chalen says:
CO:  Got them running scared, sir.
CO_Kyrron says:
::starts taping in a report to Starfleet Command::   XO:  It was an inventive approach Commander.
Governor_Regel says:
@::grabs head:: CSO: Just get out... get out.. .get out...
CSO_McGrady says:
@*OPS* Two to beam up.
OPS_Menson says:
::transports the CSO and CTO to the Pharaoh::

ACTION: The Away Team arrives back on the Pharaoh

XO_Chalen says:
CO:  Thank you sir.   The Mithrans will be upset for a while, but after this is examined they'll have no reason to leave the Federation and every reason not to trust the Orions.   Everyone wins.
CO_Kyrron says:
XO:  I'll suggest the Federation send some trained diplomats to follow-up in a few weeks.  ::grins::
FCO_Khrex says:
XO/CO: I'm just glad I don't have to write a report for Starfleet Command.
CSO_McGrady says:
XO: Excellent plan and execution, commander...sorry about the love-tap...acting, you know...
CO_Kyrron says:
::chuckles::
XO_Chalen says:
SELF:      Agreed.....................   ::sighs::   I LOVE DIPLOMACY!!!!!
FCO_Khrex says:
ALL: So what's next?
