The Ganymede continues to tear through the asteroid belt, pushing large hunks of rock harmlessly aside as it blazes a trail after the ion path of the small vessel. While it has manoeuvrability as an advantage, it doesn't have sheer size or force on its side. It should only be a matter of time before the Ganymede catches up to the gunrunners.
Meanwhile, the two Ambassadors return to the table with a new entourage and the Starfleet officers in tow…hopefully their talks with their monarchs have been fruitful.

::He walks onto the bridge of the U.S.S. Ganymede and moves over towards the L-shaped Science console, immediately taking a seat and logging himself in. As he does, he brings up the data he had been reviewing...and checks it over carefully:: XO: Commander...I have some answers for you...
XO_Cmdr_Mordane says:
SO: That's something I like to hear.  Lay it on me.
CNS_Lt_Smith says:
@:: Walking to the meeting area::
CTO_Lt_Ashworth says:
:: Sitting at his post keeping an eye on the scan data coming in. He sends the same readings to Science and Flight Control. He also checks in with his team who is tracking Dr. Aria.::
Host CO_Captain_Matisse says:
@::Walking down the corridor, lets out a yawn::
CMO_Lt_Aria says:
::Sitting in the locked holosuite/deck in her rainforest program near a waterfall with her feet dangling in.::
CNS_Lt_Smith says:
@::He reaches the meeting hall doors and pauses for a moment. He then steps inside and looks around::
Host AMB_Anataga says:
@ ::Walks towards the table with his head held high. He is surrounded by a new entourage of diplomats, as the other ones have been assigned to make preparations for the Queen's orders::
Host CO_Captain_Matisse says:
@::Finds her seat, and waits for Chris to join her::
CMO_Lt_Aria says:
Computer: Open a comm link to the bridge.
CMO_Lt_Aria says:
<Computer>: Link open.
CNS_Lt_Smith says:
@::Takes his seat next to Joey and whispers:: CO: Hopefully there is some progress.
CMO_Lt_Aria says:
*CTO*:  So what’s happening?  Still can not find a way in huh?
XO_Cmdr_Mordane says:
SO: That's something I like to hear.  Lay it on me.
Host AMB_Anataga says:
@::Notices the green-skinned diplomats returning, and only the head diplomat, L'Zongoth, is familiar::
Host CO_Captain_Matisse says:
@CNS: we can only hope, I am interested to see what they have to say
Host SO_LtJG_Alezka says:
::He brings the map on his display and increases it in size:: XO: The map is definitively this system, primarily displaying the star Eta Serpentis, the planet Chozat and this asteroid belt...::He motions to the display of rocks on their view screen:: As for the biological material...it's a little more complex.
CNS_Lt_Smith says:
@CO: As am I.
XO_Cmdr_Mordane says:
SO: How so?
OPS_Cmdr_Ashworth says:
::on the bridge, going though the encrypted data that she finally finished decoding, hoping that there a some sort of clue to what is going on::
CTO_Lt_Ashworth says:
*CMO*: A way in Doctor? Whatever are you talking about?
Host CO_Captain_Matisse says:
@CNS: how are you feeling?
CNS_Lt_Smith says:
@CO: I am perfectly fine.
Host CO_Captain_Matisse says:
@::Smiles:: good, that’s what I like to hear
Host Amb_L`Zongoth says:
@CO: He has been well treated
CMO_Lt_Aria says:
*CTO*: My information tells me that your goons are attempting to get in to get me out and take me back to that bore of a place.
CNS_Lt_Smith says:
@L'Zongoth: Yes and I thank you for that.
SO_LtJG_Alezka says:
::Rolling his chair over to Science II, he brings up the details, a random arrangement of Chozat letters - the pictographs seem to repeat endlessly:: XO: I have been able to identify the coding of three genetic strains...DNA strands - Luxotian, Ateron...and something I can't identify...sir...
Host CO_Captain_Matisse says:
@::Nods to Zongoth:: Zon: thank you for that.
Host AMB_Anataga says:
@::Sits at the table, and as his other attaches and diplomats, and looks to the CNS:: CNS: I trust you are feeling better now?
Host Amb_L`Zongoth says:
@::Bows slightly to the CNS:::
CNS_Lt_Smith says:
@::Says for the third time:: Anataga: Yes I am fine now.
Host Amb_L`Zongoth says:
@::Moves to his seat::
XO_Cmdr_Mordane says:
SO: Are you saying there's another race on that planet?
CTO_Lt_Ashworth says:
:: Listens to the background noise and hears a waterfall.:: *CMO*:: My dear Doctor you are misinformed. Sec Team: Take up positions at the doors. No one goes in or out until we get a handle on the situation. *CMO*: Thank you for the info Doctor.
Host CO_Captain_Matisse says:
@Amb's: so what do you have?
SO_LtJG_Alezka says:
XO: I'm saying I don't know it's origins, sir. This appears to be data from Chozat...in their native language...but as far as I'm concerned, this DNA strand could have originated a million light years from here...I'm doing my best to track it's source now...
XO_Cmdr_Mordane says:
SO: Understood, keep up the good work.
CMO_Lt_Aria says:
*CTO*: Aw now Ashey boy, why would you want to waste your time on little old me?
CTO_Lt_Ashworth says:
<Sec Team>: *CTO*: Aye sir.
Host AMB_Anataga says:
@::Smiles briefly:: All: Shall we begin? ::Takes a data PADD and slides it to the CO:: CO: I spoke to the Divine Queen, and she has decided to donate some resources to power one vessel for a short period if necessary.
XO_Cmdr_Mordane says:
CTO: Are we getting a handle on the situation finally?
CNS_Lt_Smith says:
@::Listens to the Ambassadors speak::
Host CO_Captain_Matisse says:
@Anataga: Excellent, tell her we thank her, we will make good use of it.
CTO_Lt_Ashworth says:
XO: Aye Commander. We have her pinned in a holodeck for the time being. *CMO*: Doctor, this is not a waste of time consider it an exercise.
SO_LtJG_Alezka says:
::He sits back in his chair and continues to review the map of Eta Serpentis III, while at the same time allowing the computer to run an analysis of the unknown DNA sample::
Host Amb_L`Zongoth says:
@::Glances at the Padd:: Amb Anataga: It would seem we have an agreement then
XO_Cmdr_Mordane says:
CTO: Well that's better than roaming the halls I guess, maybe it will keep her entertained as well.  Does Dr. Zek have any idea what's wrong with her?
CMO_Lt_Aria says:
*CTO*: Oh Bah!  Your way too serious sonny,  Time you had some fun for a change.  ::Cuts the link.::
Host CO_Captain_Matisse says:
@::Lets out a sigh of relief:: Amb: how soon till we get them? The sooner we do, the sooner we can begin.
Host AMB_Anataga says:
@CO: Now if only that meant anything. While we now do have the necessary resources to power a vessel, our weapons are not of the best quality. We would be able to do nothing against the weapon suppliers, or to those that made our energy go missing.
SO_LtJG_Alezka says:
Self: Hmmmm...::He zooms in on the display of Chozat and makes note of the large regions highlighted in the display. As he does, he trains planetary sensors on those regions, programming them to scan for the unidentified DNA signature::
CTO_Lt_Ashworth says:
XO: Nothing he's elaborated on so far Commander.
CMO_Lt_Aria says:
::Decides to go for a swim in the creek and jumps in after taking the slippers off.::
Host CO_Captain_Matisse says:
@::Feels the sudden urge to hit her head repeatedly in the table in front of her::
CMO_Lt_Aria says:
<Dr Zek>: *Bridge*: Um Bridge this is Dr. Zek, please respond at your earliest convenience.
SO_LtJG_Alezka says:
::The sensors work, and ultimately give him no results. With a sigh, he decides to expand his search, and begins to scan the first satellite of Eta Serpentis III, and the nearby Eta Serpentis IV::
Host CO_Captain_Matisse says:
@Ambs: you couldn't have mention this sooner! ?
CNS_Lt_Smith says:
@Anataga: For the time being weapons should not be an issue.
XO_Cmdr_Mordane says:
*Dr. Zek*: Ah, good Doctor, we were just discussing you.  Would you be so kind as to tell us what's wrong with our Chief Medical Officer?
OPS_Cmdr_Ashworth says:
::in her reading, she comes across something interesting.::  XO:  Sir, in the data that we mystery received, I have come across a fully detailed schematics of that vessel.  It shows that it is warp capable, up to 8.8.  And form the size of it, it looks like it holds a maximum of 5 crew.  And Sir, it has a payload of weapons.
XO_Cmdr_Mordane says:
OPS: Well we've certainly found our gunrunners...compile the information for inclusion in the case file.  Good work on the decryption.
Host Amb_L`Zongoth says:
@Amb Anataga: What will be the order of the shipments?
CMO_Lt_Aria says:
<Dr. Zek>::Sweating palms and rubbing them together.:: *XO*: Well Cmdr.  I wish I knew exactly.  I haven't been able to get her to stay still for long enough to do a deep brain scan to see if it is something physical, she had reported feelings of disorientation and difficulty concentrating in the days leading up to this delusional state.
Host AMB_Anataga says:
CO: It was an assumption. We do not make war, which is why the weapons that are fuelling the civil war must be from off world.
CTO_Lt_Ashworth says:
XO: Commander, eta to our friends unknown, however, the trail is starting to get a bit fresher.
OPS_Cmdr_Ashworth says:
XO:  Thank you, Commander.  That's all in a day's work.
Host AMB_Anataga says:
CO: Your vessels are not equipped for that sort of work. Forgive me for the lapse.
CMO_Lt_Aria says:
<Dr. Zek>: *XO*: However sir, I'm leaning more toward a mental breakdown or in her case a breakdown of her logic and succumbing to her more "emotional" side.
Host AMB_Anataga says:
<Our>
Host AMB_Anataga says:
L'Zongoth: I believe it would be beneficial to have each given at the same time, would you not?
CNS_Lt_Smith says:
@AMBs: I would agree as well. I thought the Ganymede was going to conduce these transfers or are you two going to now?
Host Amb_L`Zongoth says:
@Amb Anataga: I would be willing to send our shipment first if it would put an end to this?
CTO_Lt_Ashworth says:
:: Gets the tractor beams up and running.:: XO: I have tractors primed and on stand by so that we can snare them when they become visible again.
CMO_Lt_Aria says:
<Dr Zek>: *XO*: It might be a good idea to have the CNS speak with her after I confirm no physical elements.
SO_LtJG_Alezka says:
Self: Negative...::With a sigh, he continues to move onto the second moon - getting similar results. He finds the same on the third moon, and curses internally:: ~~~EO: Oh Dan...why can't you be here to grant me strength?~~~ ::He sighs audibly and curses before returning to his work::
OPS_Cmdr_Ashworth says:
::goes over to the CTO and shows him the schematics::  CTO:  See what I mean?  This ship appears to be made to just be a fighting craft.
Host CO_Captain_Matisse says:
@::Sits back and listens::
XO_Cmdr_Mordane says:
*Dr. Zek*: Is this the "seven year breakdown" Doctor?  Or something medically amiss?
Host AMB_Anataga says:
@CNS: The Ganymede cannot stay here forever, and we still do not know who or what is supplying the war or causing the havoc...so we do not know how long the escort will be needed.
CTO_Lt_Ashworth says:
OPS: Armed to the teeth wouldn't you say, Commander? XO: Picking up weapons charging on the nearest asteroid.
OPS_Cmdr_Ashworth says:
CTO:  And then some.
SO_LtJG_Alezka says:
::He looks up quickly:: CTO: Lieutenant...sir...can you do me a favour?
CMO_Lt_Aria says:
<Dr. Zek>: *XO*: I don't believe it is the pon far since she is making no sexual or romantic gestures, just acting very "Free" for lack of a better word.
XO_Cmdr_Mordane says:
CTO: Go to red alert.
Host CO_Captain_Matisse says:
@Amb's: Weapons are not, this need to happen.
CTO_Lt_Ashworth says:
SO: Shoot Lt.
Host Amb_L`Zongoth says:
@CNS; Our transports are equipped for the transfer, It's my understanding that Starfleet will be monitoring the transactions
SO_LtJG_Alezka says:
::He transmits data on the unknown life forms to the Tactical console and looks over towards the Chief Tactical Officer:: CTO: Scan our friends here for this DNA sequence...
CNS_Lt_Smith says:
@AMBs: I agree with the Captain. And yes I believe we will be monitoring the transactions.
Host AMB_Anataga says:
ACTION: Unseen by the diplomats or the crew, an ambassador slips out of the hall and into a corridor.
OPS_Cmdr_Ashworth says:
::she returns to her post::
CTO_Lt_Ashworth says:
:: Inputs the sequence into the scan parameters and prepares the shields.::
CNS_Lt_Smith says:
@::Makes a strange face and then looks around the room, trying to pinpoint where the sense he has just received is coming from::
Host CO_Captain_Matisse says:
@::Nods to Chris:: Amb's: So can we start now?
CTO_Lt_Ashworth says:
:: Goes to red alert.:: *All*: All hands Red alert. Battle stations.
XO_Cmdr_Mordane says:
CTO: Is that asteroid manned?  Or are we dealing with automated defences?
Host Amb_L`Zongoth says:
@CO: Our transport is prepared, we can begin when your ready
CMO_Lt_Aria says:
::Floats on her back in the water soaking up the "sun".
Host AMB_Anataga says:
ACTION: A blast fires from the turret on the asteroid as it goes to life. The shot bounces off the shields.
CTO_Lt_Ashworth says:
:: Scans the asteroid.::
SO_LtJG_Alezka says:
::He sees a light fixture next to his display begin to pulsate red and he sighs:: Self: Once more into the breach...
Host CO_Captain_Matisse says:
@::Stands:: Zongoth: Then lets get this started.
CNS_Lt_Smith says:
@::Whispers:: CO: Could we maybe post pone the transfer for one moment? I am sensing something I don't like.
XO_Cmdr_Mordane says:
*Dr. Zek*: Well considering she's in Holodeck 1 at the moment, why don't you see what kind of diagnosis you can get from her there, and report back to me with something conclusive.
Host Amb_L`Zongoth says:
@::Stands as well with his escorts::
CNS_Lt_Smith says:
@::He stays in his seat trying to concentrate on what he senses::
CTO_Lt_Ashworth says:
XO: Scans show that the defence system in the asteroids is an automated system.
Host CO_Captain_Matisse says:
@::Leans over to Chris:: CNS: what’s wrong?
Host Amb_L`Zongoth says:
@::Turns to leave but notices the Captain speaking with the CNS.::
CNS_Lt_Smith says:
@CO: I sense anxiety and something about a righteous cause. It could be from someone how is a member of the 'energy' stealing group. I would like to advise to not transfer the power for the moment until I can get a better reading.
SO_LtJG_Alezka says:
::He awaits results from the Chief Tactical officer and then goes back to his control console:: Computer: Computer, run a comparison of the DNA sequence found on this display and attempt to identify the source of the DNA strand.
XO_Cmdr_Mordane says:
CTO: Then feel free to get rid of them if they become a nuisance.  Keep an eye out for that freighter though, I want it tractored asap.
CMO_Lt_Aria says:
<Dr Zek> *XO* I was afraid you were going to say that.  I so hate intruding on peoples private programs.  But then again, I do already know that the program is a "relaxing" one.  Nothing that she could cause herself or others harm in.  Its just getting in.  She's barricaded herself in there ya know.
CNS_Lt_Smith says:
@::Whispers:: CO: Now I am getting a strong sense of pride and justification.
Host AMB_Anataga says:
@::Gets up:: L'Zongoth: We should probably head to the mail launch area. ::Suddenly turns pale:: All: Ouch. ::Falls to the floor::
CNS_Lt_Smith says:
@::Looks over at Anataga after he hears 'ouch'::
Host AMB_Anataga says:
ACTION: A large dagger is sticking out of the back of the Ambassador. Chaos erupts from the other officials as they run for cover.
Host Amb_L`Zongoth says:
@:: Turns to AMb Anataga with a surprised look::
SO_LtJG_Alezka says:
<Computer> SO: No such data is currently present in the U.S.S. Ganymede database.
CTO_Lt_Ashworth says:
XO: Understood Commander.
XO_Cmdr_Mordane says:
*Dr. Zek*: I'm sure security can let you in Doctor, they are after all watching over her.
CNS_Lt_Smith says:
@::Stands up:: ALL: Everyone calm down. ::He moves to the Ambassador::
Host CO_Captain_Matisse says:
@CNS: stay where we are...::looks around::
Host Amb_L`Zongoth says:
@::Tries to see as his entourage surrounds him  weapons drawn::
CMO_Lt_Aria says:
::Swims over toward the waterfall and stands underneath it allowing the rush to fall over her.::
Host AMB_Anataga says:
ACTION: The asteroid fires off more volleys, and is joined by three more. The Ganymede must be getting close to something.
SO_LtJG_Alezka says:
::He curses again, softly. D'Aurayen stares at the data slowly, hoping that some form of revelation will come to him and he will find the answers he seeks::
CNS_Lt_Smith says:
@::Stops right as the Captain says stay::
Host CO_Captain_Matisse says:
@All: Did anyone see anything...?
CMO_Lt_Aria says:
<Dr Zek>: *XO*: Yes sir.  I'll prepare myself for it.
Host CO_Captain_Matisse says:
@CNS: did you get anything else?
CNS_Lt_Smith says:
@CO: This is not good at all. ::Looks around seeing what he can sense from every specific person in the room::
CTO_Lt_Ashworth says:
:: Runs the scanned data from the asteroids through again and sends it to OPS.:: OPS: Commander, could you spare some resources to see if you can break the program on these things?
OPS_Cmdr_Ashworth says:
CTO:  I'll what I can do. Stand by.
Host AMB_Anataga says:
ACTION: The Ateron Ambassadors huddle near the table, weapons drawn. One points to an open doorway. He cries "Look!"
Host Amb_L`Zongoth says:
@::Struggles from his protectors:: Guards: Search the area, and detain anyone that shouldn't be here
XO_Cmdr_Mordane says:
::shifts in his chair in anticipation and decided to stand::
Host CO_Captain_Matisse says:
@::Looks to where they are pointing too::
CNS_Lt_Smith says:
@CO: I sense fear and, strangely happiness.
CNS_Lt_Smith says:
@CO: Possibly from the person that did this. ::He looks at the door::
CTO_Lt_Ashworth says:
XO: We now have three of them firing. We must be near something worth protecting. :: Targets the outermost asteroid and prepares to fire on it.::
Host AMB_Anataga says:
@ACTION: The group look towards the pointing finger and see a Ateron running down the hall, shedding his Ambassador robes as he rungs. Underneath, he's dressed in a black sort of light armour.
Host Amb_L`Zongoth says:
@::Motions his guards toward the direction of the hall::
CNS_Lt_Smith says:
@CO: Shall we peruse the man?
Host AMB_Anataga says:
@::Coughs up blue blood, and dies::
XO_Cmdr_Mordane says:
CTO: Something worth protecting, is something worth taking Mr. Ashworth.  Let's see if we can't steal some children's toys and put them out of business.
OPS_Cmdr_Ashworth says:
::looks to see where she can get the extra resources then decides the best way to direct power from all recreational facilities and directs them to TAC::  CTO:  You should have 47% more power to get what you need.
Host CO_Captain_Matisse says:
@::Stay put:: CNS: let the guard get it, nothing we can do at the moment.. ::Looks down at the dead ambassador::
Host AMB_Anataga says:
ACTION: Shields are weakening on the aft side. Three more asteroids orient their weaponry to the Ganymede and fire.
CMO_Lt_Aria says:
<Dr Zek>:  ::Changes into something a little less professional and takes a knock out hypo spray hiding it in his large pocket and heads to the holodeck.::
CNS_Lt_Smith says:
@CO: I would suggest post poning any action taking at this time.
SO_LtJG_Alezka says:
::Clears his throat and speaks up - his voice shaking slightly:: XO: Attacking outright may not be the most prudent solution...sir. Whoever is supporting this war has something to gain, politically or financially - we need more details...and we can't do that if they've been disabled or destroyed...sir...
Host Amb_L`Zongoth says:
@::Sends for a medical team to check the Ambassador::
XO_Cmdr_Mordane says:
CTO: Make sure we don't get inside this ring of fire and then get stuck Mr. Ashworth.  Clear us an exit path.
Host CO_Captain_Matisse says:
@CNS: we can suggest that, but agree, its for the best
CTO_Lt_Ashworth says:
XO: Aye commander. Targets the first three asteroids and fires a full spread of torpedoes at them.::
Host Amb_L`Zongoth says:
@CO: Our very livelihood depends on this transfer, It must be completed
Host AMB_Anataga says:
@ACTION: Guards take after the Ateron. A scuffle can be heard past a corner of the corridor, followed by phaser fire, then silence. Two large guards drag the man towards the hall.
CNS_Lt_Smith says:
@::He tries to see if he can isolate the pattern from the person he sensed happiness from::
XO_Cmdr_Mordane says:
SO: My apologies for not making myself clear Mr. Alezka, I wasn't insinuating that we attack.  I fully agree we must build a case.  Defending ourselves is one thing, but offence is a last measure in my book.
XO_Cmdr_Mordane says:
CTO: Any sign of our freighter?
SO_LtJG_Alezka says:
::He nods and gives a smile - at least this man doesn't have the 'go in a shoot' enthusiasm that Captain Randolph seemed to posses:: XO: I'll work on getting us that case, sir...
Host CO_Captain_Matisse says:
@Zongoth: its dangerous, someone else can die...
Host AMB_Anataga says:
ACTION: Shields on aft side go offline. Damage to the port nacelle. The Engineering console on the bridge explodes.
Host Amb_L`Zongoth says:
@::Steps forward to see the assassin::
CNS_Lt_Smith says:
@::He looks down at the man dragged in::
CTO_Lt_Ashworth says:
XO: Not at present, Commander, however the trail leads through here.
CMO_Lt_Aria says:
<Dr Zek>:  ::Approaches the holodeck and works with the SEC team to allow them access.::
SO_LtJG_Alezka says:
::He holds onto his console as the ship rocks and he curses loudly::
Host CO_Captain_Matisse says:
@::Looks to see who did it::
Host AMB_Anataga says:
@::The Ateron ambassadors look at the man being dragged in. He is unconscious, but coming to quickly::
XO_Cmdr_Mordane says:
::curses, not under his breath::  CTO: You know what, let's try a different method...
XO_Cmdr_Mordane says:
OPS: Damage report.
CTO_Lt_Ashworth says:
:: Braces.:: XO: Awaiting orders Commander.
XO_Cmdr_Mordane says:
CTO: Limp us out of here, make it look like that last shot did some serious damage.
OPS_Cmdr_Ashworth says:
XO:  Aft Shields are offline, There is damage to the nacelle.
XO_Cmdr_Mordane says:
OPS: Vent some plasma from the nacelle, if it's not already.  We'll fix it in a few moments.
XO_Cmdr_Mordane says:
SO: Mr. Alezka, a place to hid please?
XO_Cmdr_Mordane says:
<hide>
OPS_Cmdr_Ashworth says:
XO:  Aye.  ::has the plasma vented from the nacelle::
CMO_Lt_Aria says:
<Dr Zek>: ::Braces himself on the door as the ship rocks slightly.::
Host Inilim says:
ACTION: The holodeck program shuts off, and the doors release so the awaiting security team and Dr. Zek can enter.
CTO_Lt_Ashworth says:
XO: Aye Commander. :: inputs a reverse course to port keeping the good shields toward the asteroids and initiates a damage evident pace.::
Host Amb_L`Zongoth says:
@::Pulls a dagger from his robe and approaches the assassin::
Host CO_Captain_Matisse says:
@::Looks over the criminal:: CNS: I think we need to continue Chris.
CMO_Lt_Aria says:
::Looks up around her as she is soaking from the swim, to see only the hologrid.::
Host Inilim says:
@::Groggily opens his eyes:: All: Where am I? Twilight?
CMO_Lt_Aria says:
Self: Aw man.  ::Sees Dr Zek and the SEC team.::
XO_Cmdr_Mordane says:
OPS: Once we're safely hidden, go ahead and initiate the repair orders.
SO_LtJG_Alezka says:
::He nods quickly and brings up a display of the asteroid belt:: XO: I have an asteroid bearing 123-54...transmitting the data to conn now...::He sends the course to the Flight Controller::
CTO_Lt_Ashworth says:
XO: Course laid in and engaged. Sir.
CMO_Lt_Aria says:
Sec: What is the meaning of this?  You can't just barge in on my like this.
CNS_Lt_Smith says:
@CO: I would agree but the situation is not good. I would agree with the transfer of power but nothing else at this time. ::Tries to read the criminal::
OPS_Cmdr_Ashworth says:
XO:  Understood.
Host Amb_L`Zongoth says:
@Inilim: Speak coward. Who is your master? ::Holds dagger in front of him::
Host CO_Captain_Matisse says:
@CNS: the other side needs water Chris, this has to be an equal trade.
CNS_Lt_Smith says:
@CO: Yes I did mean the equal trade.
OPS_Cmdr_Ashworth says:
::informs her crew to get repairs underway as soon as she gives the word::
Host Inilim says:
@L'Zongoth: I work for Chozat, not for any one person. For the betterment of the planet and the race.
Host CO_Captain_Matisse says:
@::Watches the Amb, and the murder:: CNS: ok, just checking..
XO_Cmdr_Mordane says:
FCO: Put us behind that asteroid, I want to be completely hidden.
XO_Cmdr_Mordane says:
<FCO>: XO: Aye sir.  ::plots course and engages, hiding the Gany behind the asteroid::
Host Amb_L`Zongoth says:
@Inilim: Then you will not mind dyeing for Chozat.:: Puts the knife to his throat::
CNS_Lt_Smith says:
@::He looks into the mans eyes::
CMO_Lt_Aria says:
<Dr Zek>: Doctor,  The ship was fired upon or caught in some sort of cross fire, I don't really have all the details, but non the less, it made it easier to get to you.  ::Smiles.::
Host Inilim says:
ACTION: The asteroids continue to fire, but they are slowing down, not having a good target.
SO_LtJG_Alezka says:
XO: This region is littered with large stellar bodies - we should be able to avoid detection long enough to complete repairs - sir.
Host CO_Captain_Matisse says:
@::Wants to stop the Amb, but it is not her place::
CTO_Lt_Ashworth says:
XO: Permission to retain tractors while repairs are underway, Commander.
CMO_Lt_Aria says:
Zek: You talk too much, I don't know why you keep calling me Doctor.  So what do you want anyway.  ::Looks from him to the SEC.::
Host Inilim says:
@ All: I am not.....afraid. ::Gulps in fear::
CNS_Lt_Smith says:
@::Whispers:: CO: He is scared just trying not to show it. He thinks he did the right thing, of course I can’t understand why.
XO_Cmdr_Mordane says:
CTO:  Granted, but I think we'll wait to capture the freighter...I'd rather get the buyers if possible. With any luck that convinced them that we've given up.  Now we wait, until the next transfer.  We'll follow the freighter using the asteroids to hide, and track them to the rendezvous point.
Host Amb_L`Zongoth says:
@Inilim: I will have your blue hide dragged through the street for all to see, Speak coward
CTO_Lt_Ashworth says:
XO: Understood Commander.
Host CO_Captain_Matisse says:
@Watches not, not really paying attention to the CNS:: CNS: he will get what he deserves
Host Inilim says:
ACTION: The freighter re-appears on sensors ...as does a large magnetic flux. That is what seems to be affecting the cloaking device. The Ganymede is unaffected.
CMO_Lt_Aria says:
<Dr Zek>:  Look Ms. Aria, you really need to come back to SB so I can figure out what is causing you to behave so strangely.  I promise I won't hurt you.  And if you come quietly these SEC won't even touch you.  Now come on.  ::Reaches his hand to her.::
Host Amb_L`Zongoth says:
@::Pushes the daggers edge tighter into his throat and a small trickle of his blood drips to the floor::
Host Inilim says:
@L'Zongoth: Twilight. The mixing. I... it is my duty. ::Passes out from fear::
CTO_Lt_Ashworth says:
XO: Contact re-established with the Freighter.  Also a large magnetic flux detected, sir.
SO_LtJG_Alezka says:
::He detects the planets magnetic flux and smiles as his modifications hold. At the same time he transmits data on the freighters location to Tactical, so the Chief has confirmation of his readings::
CMO_Lt_Aria says:
::Walks past him and toward the doors her head hung low.:: Zek/SEC: I just knew what all is going on.
Host Amb_L`Zongoth says:
@:: Withdraws the knife and orders him taken away::
Host Inilim says:
ACTION: The freighter is dead in the water, so to speak. It seems to struggle to get its engines to engage, lurches forward, and zooms off through the field.
Host CO_Captain_Matisse says:
@Zongoth: why didn't you do it?
CMO_Lt_Aria says:
<Dr Zek>:  ::Goes to her and takes her arm and walks with her.:: CMO: Hey look at it this way.  If I can't figure it out, I'm sure CNS Smith can.  ::Smiles at her with sympathy.::
XO_Cmdr_Mordane says:
FCO: Follow the freighter, don't lose them, but don't let us be caught either.
CMO_Lt_Aria says:
Zek: Just get it over with will you, so I know what it is I am doing around here.
XO_Cmdr_Mordane says:
<FCO> XO: Aye sir.  ::plots a mirroring course and engages::
Host Amb_L`Zongoth says:
@CO: I may have a use for him yet. And this transfer is too important
SO_LtJG_Alezka says:
::Transmits data to Tactical and the conn as to locations where they can hide from the automated defences and still peruse the sluggish freighter:: Self: A scientists task if never finished...
OPS_Cmdr_Ashworth says:
XO:  Commander, the freighter just lurched forward then took off through the field.  It appears that the destination is Eta Serpentis IV.
Host Inilim says:
@<AMB_Omopol> L'Zongoth: We should question him later. Now, though, we have to set up the transfer of resources for our patrol vessel.
CMO_Lt_Aria says:
::Arrives back in SB and lies on the biobed that Dr Zek secures around her and closes her eyes after he gives her a sedation hypo spray.::
XO_Cmdr_Mordane says:
OPS: Thank you Commander, keep an eye open for any more encrypted transmissions.
OPS_Cmdr_Ashworth says:
XO: Aye.
CTO_Lt_Ashworth says:
:: Receives the data and waits for the opportunity to pounce on the foes.::
Host Amb_L`Zongoth says:
@::Amb Omopol: We will begin when the Captain is ready
CMO_Lt_Aria says:
<Dr Zek>:  ::Begins the deep brain scan and hopes he finds something that answers the questions and also hopes that it is nothing more than a breakdown.::
Host CO_Captain_Matisse says:
@CNS: time to go...Amb: ready here
CNS_Lt_Smith says:
@CO: Aye.
Host Inilim says:
@<Omopol>::Nods::
