SUMMARY: The Ganymede and the Venturer seem to have gotten themselves into a kind of stand off... the Venturer has the Ganymede's away team in custody after they attempted to access restricted information and the Venturer CO was shot by the Ganymede OPS while trying to explain to her opposite number why things had to be as they were...

...oh what a mess, let's see if they can resolve the situation.

<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<Resume mission>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>

CSO Lt Malor says:
@::looks at the retracted bed and pushes the button to open it::
VCO Capt Nicholls says:
@Appears in the Venturer's sickbay and is swarmed by the medical staff::
CSO Lt Malor says:
@::pulls the bed as far out as it'll go::
CMO Lt Tales says:
@::gets up off the holding cell floor:: Aloud: Arghhhh!!!!

@ACTION: The CMO's bed shoots back out as the CSO presses the button.

CSO Lt Malor says:
@ ::pushes the button again::
CMO Lt Tales says:
@::sees the bed:: CSO: You know I think this ships engineers should head back to the Academy

@ACTION: The CSO's bed disappears back into the wall again.

CSO Lt Malor says:
@ ::pushes the button again::

@ACTION: Nothing happens.

CSO Lt Malor says:
@CMO: Yes... Guard: Hey, could you assist us a second?
OPS Lt Van den Dungen says:
::on the bridge, sending out messages to several people from tac/sec::
Guard says:
@::Goes about his duties ignoring the CSO::
CSO Lt Malor says:
@Guard: Excuse me, Guard, I'd really appreciate some help. I don't want to have to quote prisoner rights to you.
CMO Lt Tales says:
@::listens as the CSO starts to taunt the speckly faced guard again::
Guard says:
@::sighs ad approaches the CSO's cell showing the rest of the spots that had thus far been obscured by the back of his head::
CSO Lt Malor says:
@Guard: Thank you, err.. ::pauses for a name::
Guard says:
@CSO: What do you want? I'm busy?
CSO Lt Malor says:
@ Guard: Yes you are, looking after your prisoners. We seem to have a technical problem with our beds, if you could take a look please?
CMO Lt Tales says:
@Guard: Yes it most annoying, I bumped my antennae, we are still Starfleet Officers you know!
Guard says:
@CSO: Pfuff... not my job, I'll call an engineer when there's one free. ::returns to the MSD on the wall::
CSO Lt Malor says:
@Guard: I don't mean to sound patronising, but please, if one of us were to get hurt it'd be down to you and I met your XO. I don't think he'd be happy to hear we got hurt. It might be something really simple. ::smiles politely::
VCO Capt Nicholls says:
@::returns to the Venturer bridge after being expertly patched up:: VXO: Open a channel with that ship. ::points to the Ganymede on the screen::
CMO Lt Tales says:
@Guard:  Yeah like he said.... and one of my antennae is practically falling off you know!!

ACTION: The OPS console bleeps.

CSO Lt Malor says:
@CMO: Keep you white hair piece on!
OPS Lt Van den Dungen says:
*CO*: Van den Dungen to Westland, we're being hailed by the Venturer.
Guard says:
@CMO: I'm under orders, if you want medical attention you'll need to speak to the XO.
CO Cmdr Westland says:
::Looks up from whatever he was doing in the ready room:: *OPS*: On my way. ::moves towards the door to the bridge.::
CMO Lt Tales says:
@CSO: Do you have some sort of problem bumpy nose!  ::smiles, thinking::
OPS Lt Van den Dungen says:
::prepares to open the channel::
CSO Lt Malor says:
@CMO: You'll have to do better than that blue-tac. Guard: I'd really appreciate the help.
CO Cmdr Westland says:
::walks onto the bridge and spots the OPS at his station.:: OPS: On screen lieutenant.
OPS Lt Van den Dungen says:
CO: Aye Sir. ::turns on the view screen::
OPS Lt Van den Dungen says:
::in the mean time he receives several reports from tac/sec::
VCO Capt Nicholls says:
@::rather cheerful for having just been shot:: COM: CO: That was un-called for Commander.
CO Cmdr Westland says:
::sits down as he watches the view screen intensely.::
CMO Lt Tales says:
@Guard:  You better help him, these Badgers aren’t built for this....
Guard says:
@CSO: I said I'd contact them when they weren't busy, I didn't say it would be soon. ::grins::
CO Cmdr Westland says:
COM: VCO: My officers were under orders captain. You have seen what my crew and ship are capable of. I suggest we both cooperate on the same level here. I do not want to risk the lives of some very good people here, not even for Intelligence.
CSO Lt Malor says:
@Guard: I'm being really polite here. Please, the longer you take the more chance there is of something going wrong in here. Imagine if the malfunctions spread to the force field...
VCO Capt Nicholls says:
@COM: CO: My crew are also under orders Commander, and I have already proposed some level of cooperation... however I will not bend on the issue of deck 6, besides, there's no reason for your crew to be there.
CO Cmdr Westland says:
COM: VCO: I agree to the fact they do not need to be there and I will make sure they won't. But I do would like to know what I... sorry, we risk here. If you have gathered intelligence of any kind that asks to be retaken or even destroyed, I would first like to get in touch with Starfleet Command before we proceed.
CMO Lt Tales says:
@Guard:  You heard what the ridged one said, give him a break....
Guard says:
@CSO: Ah well you don't have to worry about that... see we moved the force fields to an independent system a year ago... they're not connected to any of the other systems in any way. ::smiles so broadly you could almost see the shape of a star ship in his freckles::
CSO Lt Malor says:
@::moves right into the force field innocently and falls down with a yelp::
VCO Capt Nicholls says:
@COM: CO:  Well as I have already tried to explain that is for captains' eyes only. If you can guarantee that I won't get shot again I'd be happy to meet with you to discuss the specifics.
Guard says:
@::chuckles quietly::
CSO Lt Malor says:
@::is motionless on the floor::
Guard says:
@::looks at the life sign monitor above the cell and notes that all the readings are within tolerance levels then goes back to what he was doing::
CMO Lt Tales says:
@CSO: Hey you awfully quite in there!
CSO Lt Malor says:
@::slowly gets up and grumbles, sat on the floor::
CO Cmdr Westland says:
COM: VCO: Alright, but no surprises from you either now. Meet me in my ready room when you can, Westland out.
CSO Lt Malor says:
@CMO: Is it supposed to hurt?
VCO Capt Nicholls says:
@::nods to her OPS officer and disappears from the Venturer bridge once more::
VCO Capt Nicholls says:
::appears in the CO's ready room again and waits for him to arrive::
CO Cmdr Westland says:
::walks towards his ready room.:: OPS: You have the bridge Lieutenant.
CMO Lt Tales says:
@CSO: I don't know, you okay?
CSO Lt Malor says:
@CMO: I don't know. I don't think so. I feel all tingly.
OPS Lt Van den Dungen says:
::nods to the CO and then walks over to the captain's chair where he accesses a few OPS/TAC/SEC functions::
CSO Lt Malor says:
@CMO: I always had problems with shocks ever since a bloody Cardassian injured me in the occupation. But even so, I'm really not so good...

ACTION: The captain's chair, not designed to run half the ship's departments shoots out a few sparks at OPS.

CMO Lt Tales says:
@Guard: This man needs medical attention, I'm a Doctor.... come on man it not likes anything going to happen, well it certainly isn't at the minute
OPS Lt Van den Dungen says:
Self: Badly designed ship this is.
CO Cmdr Westland says:
::enters the Ready Room and sees the VCO again.:: VCO: Welcome back captain. ::Sounding slightly sarcastic.::
CSO Lt Malor says:
@CMO/Guard: Whatever you do, just hurry I feel awful.
CMO Lt Tales says:
@Guard:  For Gods Sakes Man!!!!!!
VCO Capt Nicholls says:
CO: I think we got off to a bad start... I'm Captain Nicholls, CO of the Venturer.
Guard says:
@::contacts the bridge and receives clearance to send in a medic with a security team::
CMO Lt Tales says:
@CSO: Seems there just going to leave you to die...
CO Cmdr Westland says:
VCO: Commander Westland. Now that we're acquainted... I think a gesture of you goodwill would be at place. I invited you to my ship... you release my men you detain. I promise you they will not trouble you.
CSO Lt Malor says:
@::sat calmly with closed eyes:: Guard: I want him... Tales... I am entitled to my own physician.
VCO Capt Nicholls says:
CO: I'm willing to do that on the condition that they be accompanied by my security at all times while aboard my ship... they've already tried to access restricted information and with or without your orders I feel they may try again.
Guard says:
@CSO: I already told you... I'm under orders, you'll get what you're given.
CO Cmdr Westland says:
::nods and taps his COM badge.:: *CSO/CMO*: Lieutenants, this commander Westland. I have arranged for your release on the condition that you'll be accompanied by some of their officers. I do not want any more incidents, or I'll have to deal with you personally. Is that understood?
CSO Lt Malor says:
@Guard: I don't give a Cardassian what your orders are, the bill of prisoner rights outdates...::pauses and hears the CO::
CSO Lt Malor says:
@::stands up right as rain:: Guard: Hear that, freckle face! HA! Now let me out.
VCO Capt Nicholls says:
::also contacts her XO and makes arrangements for the release and the security details to be posted::
CSO Lt Malor says:
@::wants to reply but has no COM badge::
Guard says:
@::posts the com badges through the food slots beside the force fields::
CMO Lt Tales says:
@::taps his badge::  CO: Thanks Sir, we shall be on our best behaviour...  What exactly is our mission now, the ship seems to be in full working order now...
CSO Lt Malor says:
@Guard: Come on, old boy, chop chop!
VCO Capt Nicholls says:
::hears the CMO:: CO: We still have no propulsion.
CO Cmdr Westland says:
::Looks at the VCO for a moment:: *CMO*: There should still be things to do, otherwise they would have left already. Their XO will work with you on their problems. What ever you do, you are not to access anything that is even remotely related to deck 6.
Guard says:
@CSO: I'll let you out when the security details arrive.
CSO Lt Malor says:
@Guard: Well come one come on, it's your propulsion we need to fix ::smiles:: You were a sport though.
CMO Lt Tales says:
@*CO*: Understood Sir.... Deck what was that, never heard of it.... well if their XO gives details I'm sure we can help...
CSO Lt Malor says:
@Self; 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 7, 8, 9... No problem...deck 6 forgotten… D’OH
CO Cmdr Westland says:
*CMO*: Alright, work quickly men. The sooner we are done here, the sooner we can leave. Westland out. ::Looks at the VCO when he is done talking.::

@ACTION: Security arrives with the VXO and the guard drops the force fields.

CSO Lt Malor says:
@::steps out the cell with a "Hooah!"::
CMO Lt Tales says:
@::walks out of the Cell::  VXO:  Good to see you again.....
CSO Lt Malor says:
@VXO: Sir. ::nods::
VCO Capt Nicholls says:
CO: As I was saying Commander... we have no propulsion hence the reason you are here, we do, however, have enough power to keep the ship running for 3 months.
VXO Cmdr McGee says:
@CMO: I trust we will have no further problems lieutenant?
CMO Lt Tales says:
@VXO: I have no problems if you don't Commander
CSO Lt Malor says:
@::pats the guard on the back:: Guard: No hard feelings eh, Freckly, just doing our duty as captured officers.
CO Cmdr Westland says:
VCO: So it seems, strange... that you did not use the power to get communications up and contact Starfleet.
VXO Cmdr Nicholls says:
@::nods:: CMO: You'll need to take your team to engineering where they can assist with securing this ship to the skids on yours.
VCO Capt Nicholls says:
CO: We did... that's why you're here.

ACTION: The shell around the Venturer disappears and she can now be seen not only on the view screen but now also on sensors. The away team is escorted to where they need to be, nowhere near deck 6, and work is started on hooking the two ships together.
