Mission began with the unknown vessel picking up its speed.  The BoP finally arrived and the crew boarded and headed to meet the unknown vessel before it reached Hais.  XO azhure tried contacting the ship and finally it replied but with audio only ordering the BoP to take them to Hais with no questions. Abertura decided it was going to help out the

::Enters the C & C::
CSO_Kirkbride says:

CSec_Lt_Powers says:
#::Gives a sideways smile and a shrug::

CVO_Ens_Deegan says:
CO: Reporting for duty, sir.

Host CO_Capt_M`Tor says:
Like Good Day Mike... Have a beer eh

CVO_Ens_Deegan says:
<Syarta> ::Enters the C & C also, looking somewhat perplexed at the turn of events::

XO_Azhure says:
#COMM: CO:  We are waiting for Syarta's word on the councils decision about letting the aliens come to the planet to take the artifact. Meanwhile, we are still clocked and between them and the planet.  But captain... I think we are technologically over done if push comes to shove.

Host CO_Capt_M`Tor says:
@ <Vosh> COM:BoP: XO:  We demand to enter orbit... now.

Host SteveG says:
ACTION : Abertura sensors pick up an opening in Space as a vessel appears in orbit of Hais V

CSO_Kirkbride says:
# XO/Csec: Vessel appearing. Running scans to identify. ::Checks his passive scans::

General_Ranuck says:
#::Minding the helm::

XO_Azhure says:

CVO_Ens_Deegan says:
<Syarta> CO: Captain.

xyxian says:
$COMM: Abertura: I am Xyxian, and I demand you allow me to land immediately.

CSec_Lt_Powers says:
#XO: Got a ship on sensors... just appeared in orbit.

Host SteveG says:
ACTION: The scans from Abertura bounce off the hull as if it wasn't there

Host CO_Capt_M`Tor says:
CVO: Good.... I need something I need to know what other ships we have to meet this ship. How many?

XO_Azhure says:
#::Looks over toward the CSO and then over at Bill::  All:  Gentlemen, what are we looking at?

CVO_Ens_Deegan says:
<Syarta> ::Looks concerned at the demand of the alien::

CMO_Jules says:
CO:  All scans are bouncing off of it Sir.

Host CO_Capt_M`Tor says:
CMO: Khest!  Another one?  ::bangs the console::
CSO_Kirkbride says:

# XO: Working on it sir.

xyxian says:
$COMM: Abertura: I don’t like to be kept waiting.  Once again, I demand you allow me to land immediately.
CVO_Ens_Deegan says:

CVO_Ens_Deegan says:
<Syarta> ::Steps forward:: CO: Captain, I come with news from the High Echelons.

Host CO_Capt_M`Tor says:
@ <Vosh> ::alters course and goes around the Bird of Prey::

General_Ranuck says:
#XO: We are looking at bad news!

XO_Azhure says:
#CTO:  They must be related, both groups have the same manner.

CSO_Kirkbride says:
# XO: That's odd. The hull seems to be made of some sort of organic compound.

xyxian says:
$::Becomes impatient, and prepares to land weather he has permission or not::

XO_Azhure says:

Host CO_Capt_M`Tor says:
::mumbles:: Syarta: What is their answer?
CMO_Jules says:
CO:  The hull of this ship appears to be alive Sir.

XO_Azhure says:
#CSO:  The same as the other?

CVO_Ens_Deegan says:
<Syarta> CO: The High Echelons do not want them to enter orbit until information on their artifact is gathered, and information on them is gathered. We hope you'll provide accurate defense if needed ...

XO_Azhure says:
#CSec:  Is the station responding to the other vessel?

Host CO_Capt_M`Tor says:

CMO_Jules says:
CO:  Sir, I can go with the fighters.

CSO_Kirkbride says:
# ALL: Incoming fire!

Host CO_Capt_M`Tor says:
CMO: Belay that.... remain at your post.

CVO_Ens_Deegan says:

XO_Azhure says:
#General:  Take us in...

XO_Azhure says:
#CSO:  Inform the station they have incoming.

CSO_Kirkbride says:

#CSec:  So, our cloaking device is useless with them.

CSO_Kirkbride says:
# Comm: Abertura: ::via secure, encryption:: They took out our weapons.

General_Ranuck says:
#::Growls low::  XO: I will do more for their dishonor!

XO_Azhure says:
#CSO:  Can you get a trajectory of where he is going?  Perhaps we can upstage his plans and take this artifact ourselves... or at least transfer it elsewhere.

CSec_Lt_Powers says:
#XO: Seems that way, ma'am.

CVO_Ens_Deegan says:
<Syarta> CO: Where is the vessel heading? Is there a danger to our planet? To Kayairn City?

Host CO_Capt_M`Tor says:
CMO: What is their position at the moment?  

CVO_Ens_Deegan says:
@ ::The Assunpink moves to low orbit to intercept the inbound alien vessel, it's shields powered. Micro-torpedoes load in the bays, and the phasers arrays charge::

CVO_Ens_Deegan says:
@ ::Slightly nervous, this will be his first battle::

XO_Azhure says:
#CSec: This is a Klingon ship... you are telling me they have only one way to battle?

CSO_Kirkbride says:
# XO: Their current trajectory will take them approximately 4 Kms east of the station.

Host CO_Capt_M`Tor says:
Syarta: We do what needs to be done.

General_Ranuck says:
#::Moves the bird of prey into an intercept position, directly in their path::

xyxian says:
$::Slowly brings his ship into a suborbital course, preparing to land::

CMO_Jules says:

CVO_Ens_Deegan says:
@ COM: M'Tor: They're in the atmosphere, sir. We're surrounding it ...

General_Ranuck says:
#CSec: The Hoch'A wing of the Second Fleet is standing by!  Two Vor'Cha's and a K'Vort.

Host CO_Capt_M`Tor says:
COM: All Vessels: Unknown vessel... break orbit or be fired upon... you have 30 seconds to comply.

XO_Azhure says:
#::Walks over to Kirkbride. Quietly::  CSO:  What have you got for me?

CVO_Ens_Deegan says:
@ ::Still pushing the attack::

Host CO_Capt_M`Tor says:
CMO: Weapons at 1/4 stand by to fire.

xyxian says:
$::has had enough, and opens fire with all of his weapons::

CMO_Jules says:
:: nods :: CO: Aye Sir, standing by.

CSO_Kirkbride says:
# XO: Well, sir. It appears they just hit our wing. There's a lot of power going through there to the disruptor. If we can shut that down, I think we can arrest any feedback. However...it doesn't look like the Klingons ever considered that you'd want to shut it down. So I'm looking for something they didn't think of.

CVO_Ens_Deegan says:
@ ::Maneuvers as deftly as possible, as do the aero-shuttles, aiming to keep them busy::

Host CO_Capt_M`Tor says:
@ <Vosh> COM:Abertura: We would like to meet in person to discuss our leaving the system.

XO_Azhure says:
#CSO:  What about that artifact?  Did you get anything?

Host CO_Capt_M`Tor says:
COM: Vosh: Request denied.... you have 15 seconds to comply.

Host CO_Capt_M`Tor says:
CMO: Fire !

CMO_Jules says:
CO:  Firing!!  :: fires weapons at 1/4 ::

Host CO_Capt_M`Tor says:
@ <Vosh> COM:Abertura: We only require unconditional access to the planet.

xyxian says:

CVO_Ens_Deegan says:
@ COM: M'Tor: Captain, our assault is having no effect. Right now we're just trying to keep them busy.

CSO_Kirkbride says:

XO_Azhure says:
#CSO:   Good...

Host CO_Capt_M`Tor says:

Host SteveG says:
ACTION: the volley rocks the ship that it is intended for no discernable damage. the hull seems to be repairing itself.

CSec_Lt_Powers says:

General_Ranuck says:
#::Slams his fists on the console::  XO: We sit by and let them do what they want?

Host CO_Capt_M`Tor says:

Host SteveG says:
ACTION: the CSO locks onto the power source

CSO_Kirkbride says:

General_Ranuck says:
#XO: We have other ships!  Give the word, and they will be blown from the sky.

ACTION: the Malavorn that landed contacts the station through his EVA type suit

CSO_Kirkbride says:
# XO: Well, whatever it is, we've got it! Now ,like the dog who finally catches the car....what do we want to do with it? It should be in the main hold sir.

XO_Azhure says:
#CSO:  Lets go see what we have.

Host CO_Capt_M`Tor says:
*CVO*: Open fire at anyone who exits that vessel.

XO_Azhure says:
#CSec:  Lt, the ship is yours... take us to the other side of the planet.  Let the station know what is going on.

CSO_Kirkbride says:
# XO: Yes sir! ::performs a quick function check on his tricorder:: If we can find it! Klingon ship design isn't one of my  strong points.

Host CO_Capt_M`Tor says:
Syarta: They are not the owners Syarta... you are.... they are in my opinion looters..nothing more.

xyxian says:
$COMM: CO: Sir, there MUST be some way we can come to an arrangement.  I need that artifact before I return home.

CVO_Ens_Deegan says:
<Syarta> CO: Technically, yes, Captain. But thanks to Starfleet, and your crew, we Haisians have learned there are a lot of things on this world that do not belong here. ::Recalls that demonic temple::

Host CO_Capt_M`Tor says:
@ <Vosh> COM:Abertura: We have changed our minds and the people on this planet are worthy of knowing what the artifact is.
