Mission Summary:

It has been over 20 hours since the USS Pharaoh left Avalon Station in pursuit of an unknown assailant.  After several hours of searching, they received an Urgent request for help from a small child.  After rescuing the crew of a shuttle, the child, Shireena, admitted to having heard the voice of the assailant.

Perhaps the crew of the Pharaoh will be able to find some answers.

ACTION: The bleep appears again on sensors.

XO_McGrady says:
::sits in the command chair and analyzes the Captain's program as it runs::
CTO_Lt_Llynisika says:
CIV/XO: It's running now.  I also have Noseitall using SCI  and running scans.  Noseitall: Sid, show the Counselor what your are doing and then take over the FCO station.
Host Shireena says:
CO: Sir?  Are we stopped?
XO_McGrady says:
Nosetail: Belay that order.
XO_McGrady says:
CNS: Are you qualified to fly this ship?
CTO_Lt_Llynisika says:
<Noseitall> ::Looks up at the XO::  XO: Sir?

XO: Sir, we may have something
XO_McGrady says:
CTO: Report.
CMO_Ltjg_Sacul says:
:: turns to Trelan :: CO:  Captain, I am doing a brain circuitry pattern scan and a neural imaging scan to see what damage there is.
CTO_Lt_Llynisika says:
<Noseitall> XO: Aye, sir.  ::Moves back to SCI::
CNS_Starlight_Rose says:
.::bounces to the Flight Control station and sits down::
CMO_Ltjg_Sacul says:
CO:  Right now, I have stopped the bleeding and repaired the artery.
Host CO_Trelan says:
:: nods to the CMO ::
Host Shireena says:
CO: Good, because if we are moving maybe the bad man won't come back. ::goes back to playing::
Host CO_Trelan says:
CMO: How bad is it?
CTO_Lt_Llynisika says:
XO: Unknown, sir.  We've had a bleep appear on sensors.  Checking
CMO_Ltjg_Sacul says:
CO:  I wont know until the scans are finished, but, it looks as if he will be down for quite some time.
XO_McGrady says:
CTO: Place the location of the bleep on screen.  If you pick up another one, I want to see a layout.  Maybe we can find a pattern or trajectory.
CTO_Lt_Llynisika says:
::Touches the board a few times and nods to herself::  XO: It's the runabout, sir.  It's sitting just at the edge of the sensors
Host CO_Trelan says:
Self: Dagva...
XO_McGrady says:
CTO: Uncloaked?

ACTION: The bleep begins moving away from the Pharaoh.

XO_McGrady says:
CTO: Lay in coordinates to Flight Control.
CTO_Lt_Llynisika says:
XO: Laying in to FCO, it's moving sir.  ::Touches a control:: I've tied it in to your screen, sir
CMO_Ltjg_Sacul says:
:: the computer beeps and she looks at the scans ::
XO_McGrady says:
FCO: Engage pursuit course...full impulse.
CNS_Starlight_Rose says:
::engages  the course at full impulse::  XO: done Sir-r-r
CMO_Ltjg_Sacul says:
:: shaking her head :: CO:  There is good news and bad news....how do you want it?

ACTION: The bleep appears to stop again::

XO_McGrady says:
CTO: Destroy that ship once we are in range.
CIV_Capt_MacPherson-Quest says:
XO: What has happened while I was away Mr. Doan?
CTO_Lt_Llynisika says:
XO: Sir, it's stopped.
CTO_Lt_Llynisika says:
XO: Targeting........
Host CO_Trelan says:
CMO: Straight.
XO_McGrady says:
CIV: Don't know what to tell you. I'm just getting back myself from Starbase 310.
XO_McGrady says:
CTO: Standby.
CMO_Ltjg_Sacul says:
CO:  Well, he will be able to recover, but, it will take perhaps 6 weeks or more.
XO_McGrady says:
COM: Shuttlecraft:  Shuttlecraft.  Lower shields and disarm weapons or face your destruction.
CTO_Lt_Llynisika says:
XO: Targeted, sir.  Standing by
Host CO_Trelan says:
:: falls silent for a moment ::
CIV_Capt_MacPherson-Quest says:
XO: I just got back myself, SFI business. All I know is that we were attacked or something

ACTION: At the XO's com, the runabout goes to warp factor 1.

XO_McGrady says:
CIV: Commander Stidd is incapacitated by an explosion.
XO_McGrady says:
FCO: Match Warp 1 in pursuit course.
CMO_Ltjg_Sacul says:
CO: he has several synaptic routes damaged, if her weren't Vulcan, I'd say he was brain dead.
Host CO_Trelan says:
:: places a hand on the CMO's upper arm :: CMO: Well, if anyone can bring him out of it, you can.
CIV_Capt_MacPherson-Quest says:
XO: Is he all right?
CNS_Starlight_Rose says:
XO: all right Sir... ::warp one and in pursuit of the runabout::
XO_McGrady says:
CIV: Unknown...didn't look good.
CMO_Ltjg_Sacul says:
CO:  But, he does have cortical activity and he shows every sign of being in a deep Vulcan healing trance.
XO_McGrady says:
CTO: Pulverize that ship.  Fire at will.

CTO_Lt_Llynisika says:
XO: Aye, sir

ACTION: The runabout cloaks and increases to warp 5.

XO_McGrady says:
Self: Blast!
Host CO_Trelan says:
CMO: Keep me informed.
CNS_Starlight_Rose says:
::growls under breath so no one hears me::
XO_McGrady says:
Nosetail: Continue the Captain's program. Locate that vessel immediately.
CTO_Lt_Llynisika says:
::readies to fire, then.......:: Outloud: Krit!  XO: Sorry sir
Host CO_Trelan says:
CMO: How are our other guests?
Host Shireena says:
CO: Sir?  Are you going to get the bad man?
CMO_Ltjg_Sacul says:
CO: I will Captain.
XO_McGrady says:
::nods to the CTO::
CTO_Lt_Llynisika says:
<Noseitall> XO: Aye, aye sir
CTO_Lt_Llynisika says:
<Noseitall> ::Has all his attention on the board::
CMO_Ltjg_Sacul says:
CO:  One of them is coming around now.  The others will be shortly.
Host CO_Trelan says:
Shireena: :: smiles slightly to ease the tension :: You bet your life, we will.
CTO_Lt_Llynisika says:
<Sven> ::Continues to scan Stidds room and then opens his evidence kit and begins working::
CIV_Capt_MacPherson-Quest says:
XO: I'm not the one for vengeance, but we have to even the score
Host Shireena says:
CO: Good!  I don't want anybody else to get hurt because of Diokar.
XO_McGrady says:
CIV: I am feeling primed and ready for a bit of vengeance.
Host CO_Trelan says:
:: looks to the CMO questioningly ::

CMO_Ltjg_Sacul says:
CO:  As a matter of fact, I was just about to tell  you that you should have a word with our little guest here.
CMO_Ltjg_Sacul says:
CO:  She was telling me that the bad man was looking for something called Diokar.  I suspect her Mother can tell us more.
CMO_Ltjg_Sacul says:
:: walks over to the woman and checks her vitals ::
Host CO_Trelan says:
:: looks down to the child, then bends at the knees into a crouching position ::
Host CO_Trelan says:
Shireena: Did you see what the bad man looked like?

ACTION: The bleep is completely gone from all sensors.

XO_McGrady says:
::notices the extra complement on the crew::  CIV: Know anything about our visitors?
CTO_Lt_Llynisika says:
XO: Sir, there is nothing on the sensors now
XO_McGrady says:
Self: Blast...CTO: Understood..let me know when you pick up the trail.
CIV_Capt_MacPherson-Quest says:
XO: Not yet, but it doesn't seem they are friendly
Host Shireena says:
CO: Don't know.  Just heard him.  He sounded mean.  He said ::lowers her voice:: You will pay for Diokar! You will pay!!
CTO_Lt_Llynisika says:
XO: Aye, sir
XO_McGrady says:
CIV: This ship thinks its toying with us.
CNS_Starlight_Rose says:
XO: anything else you want me to do Sir-r-r
Host CO_Trelan says:
Shireena: Do you know what 'Diokar' is? Is it a name? Or maybe something else?
XO_McGrady says:
CNS: Stand ready to pursue that vessel if we catch her trail.
CTO_Lt_Llynisika says:
<Noseitall> ::Mutters softly to himself as he continues to scan for the runabout::
CNS_Starlight_Rose says:
XO:alr-r-right Sir-r-r

XO_McGrady says:
CTO: You’re doing a fine job, Lieutenant.  We'll catch that ship, and she'll pay the price for what she's done.
CTO_Lt_Llynisika says:
XO: That we will  ::pauses a bit then looks him in the eye and adds:: Sir  ::then turns her attention to her sensors::
CNS_Starlight_Rose says:
::sits and purrs some::

ACTION: The Runabout appears on sensors, behind the Pharaoh.

XO_McGrady says:
CNS: 180 turn.
Host Shireena says:
::looks up at the CO and CMO::
Host CO_Trelan says:
Shireena: Do you know what 'Diokar' is? Is it a name? Or maybe something else?
CMO_Ltjg_Sacul says:
CO:  They are still very weak.  I can't wake them yet.
CTO_Lt_Llynisika says:
XO: Sir!  :: a slightly louder voice than normal::  The runabout
CNS_Starlight_Rose says:
::180 turn fast......:: XO: ther-r-re Sir-r-r
XO_McGrady says:
CTO: Fire at will. Shoot to destroy!
Host Shireena says:
CO: I don't know.  Mommy said she hadn't heard that name in a long time but I don't know what it is.
Host CO_Trelan says:
:: sighs lightly ::

ACTION: The Runabout disappears from sensors.

CTO_Lt_Llynisika says:
XO: Firing  Krit!  Cloaked again
Host CO_Trelan says:
*XO* Trelan to bridge.
XO_McGrady says:
*CO* McGrady here.
Host CO_Trelan says:
*XO* Doane, I need a cross reference. Check to see if the name Diokar comes up anywhere in the databanks.
XO_McGrady says:
*CO* Aye, sir.
XO_McGrady says:
::runs the name Diokar through the databanks and awaits the search results.
XO_McGrady says:
::
XO_McGrady says:
CTO: At least we know they are cowards.
CTO_Lt_Llynisika says:
XO: Sir, permission to fire as soon as the runabout de-cloaks
XO_McGrady says:
CTO: Permission granted.
XO_McGrady says:
::sees the query results coming in::
CNS_Starlight_Rose says:
::watches around everywhere on the bridge and  sees if there is anything I can do::
XO_McGrady says:
*CO* Diokar is a planet.  It was approached by a first contact AT 17 years ago but the contact went sour and started a civil war.  The AT was kicked off the planet and the Federation told never to return.
XO_McGrady says:
*CO* 1 member of the AT was killed.  A Vulcan woman, Lt. Cmdr. Supal.
CTO_Lt_Llynisika says:
XO: Aye, sir
Host CO_Trelan says:
*XO* Supal...Transfer the information to the CMO's office.
Host CO_Trelan says:
CMO: Kyti? Do you mind?
XO_McGrady says:
*CO* Aye sir ::transfers the query results to the doctor's office::
XO_McGrady says:
Self: What the hell...
CMO_Ltjg_Sacul says:
CO: Be my guest Captain.
Host CO_Trelan says:
:: moves to the CMO's office and sits down, accessing the computer console ::
XO_McGrady says:
COM: Runabout:  You act like putrid cowards.  Like frightened Romulans.  Decloak and we shall do battle as true warriors.
XO_McGrady says:
CTO: Maybe if Federation tactics aren't working, we can employ a Klingon strategy.
Host Shireena says:
<Runabout> COM: Pharaoh: It is not logical to fight those who are not involved in the conflict.
CTO_Lt_Llynisika says:
::Grins at McGrady::  XO: Aye sir
XO_McGrady says:
CTO: Vulcans???
CTO_Lt_Llynisika says:
::Antennae quiver as she listens to the COMM::
Host CO_Trelan says:
:: notices a list of names scroll across the screen ::
CNS_Starlight_Rose says:
::just listens to everything::
XO_McGrady says:
COM: Runabout: I assure you we are now thoroughly involved.  You are bandits and marauders...criminals.  Decloak immediately.
CIV_Capt_MacPherson-Quest says:
XO: Could be a trick
CTO_Lt_Llynisika says:
XO: Vulcans do use the 'logic' route quite often
Host CO_Trelan says:
:: hits a command, causing the computer to pause ::
CTO_Lt_Llynisika says:
XO: But they are not generally this violent
XO_McGrady says:
CIV/CTO: If they are Vulcans, why would they be playing these peekaboo games?
Host CO_Trelan says:
Self: Captain Michael Corley...he was on the Grant...
CTO_Lt_Llynisika says:
<Noseitall> ::checks scans::
Host Shireena says:
@<Runabout> COM: XO: A marauder attacks with no purpose.  I am responsible.  They are responsible.  We must endure the consequences of our actions.
CMO_Ltjg_Sacul says:
:: walks into her office :: CO:  Sir, are you finding anything interesting?
Host CO_Trelan says:
CMO: I think so....
CNS_Starlight_Rose says:
::just stays still::
XO_McGrady says:
COM: Runabout: Who are you?  Who are they?  Dispense with the riddles.
CTO_Lt_Llynisika says:
::Keeps her attention on the sensors, ready to fire as soon as it decloaks::
CIV_Capt_MacPherson-Quest says:
XO: It's not like Vulcans to toy like that, unless they are some kind of renegades
Host CO_Trelan says:
CMO: One person of the away team died...:: looks up :: And is killing the rest of them....
CMO_Ltjg_Sacul says:
CO:  What?????

ACTION: A scream from the com echoes across the bridge.
